Luka Bloom , Don't be afraid ... (live at Paradiso)

Out of the cold, dark winter space
We come together, looking for Brigid's grace
We dip our open hands deep into the well
Where our rivers run to
Who can tell, who can tell?
We warm our hearts and faces
In the heat of the burning flame
Something about our spirit
Never stays the same
Don't be afraid of the light that shines within you
Don't be afraid of the light that shines within you
Don't be afraid of the light that shines within you
Within you
So many lives in shadows
With so much to give away
Brilliant dreams in waiting
To see the light of day
We step up to the well
At the dawn of springtime
And when we go our way
We let the light shine
Let your light shine
Don't be afraid of the light that shines within you
Don't be afraid of the light that shines within you
Don't be afraid of the light that shines within you

Luka Bloom , Throw Your Arms Around Me

Luka Bloom, I'm on Your Side

Out on the street you don't feel safe
In a crowded plaza you're alone
In this life you love and you hate sometimes
A prisoner of glass and stone
You reach for smells and sounds
That hold you and earth you down
Your heart's too fast and breaking inside
Your head spins you vicious little lies
Yeah, but I'm on your side
Yeah, I'm on your side
Black dogs and blues move on
You'll head away for oceans once more
Where nothing is lost or is won
We lighten our load for the shore
The hope I sing rings true
Because in this world there is you
Like the ebb and the flow of the tide
You'll take the blues in your stride
Yeah, and I'm on your side
Yeah, I'm on your side
I see a warrior who's walking in light
I see poetry and songs sung true
I see courage in the darkest of your nights
I see armour of love draped around you
I saw you almost not go
I saw you breathe deeply and know
Black dogs whisper lies
You, you are ancient and wise
Yeah, and I'm on your side
Yeah, I'm on your side

Luka Bloom, I'll Walk Beside You , Peace On Earth

Luka Bloom , This Is The Sea

THIS IS THE SEA
by MIKE SCOTT

These things you keep
You better throw them away
You gotta turn your back
On your soulless days
Once you were tethered
And now you are free
Once you were tethered
And now you are free
That was the river
This is the sea

If you're feelin' weary
You've been alone too long
Or maybe you've been sufferin' from
A few too many plans
That have gone wrong
You're tryin' to remember
How fine your life used to be
You're runnin' around
Banging your drums
Like it's nineteen seventy three
That was the river
This is the sea

You say you've got troubles
You say you've got pain
You say you've nothin' left to believe in
You've nothin' left to hold onto
You've got nothin' to trust
You've got nothin' but chains
You've been scourin' your conscience
Rakin' through your memories
Scourin' your conscience
Rakin' through your memories
That was the river
This is the sea

I can see you wavering
You're tryin' to decide
There's a war in your head now
It's tearin' you up inside
You're tryin' to make sense
Of something you just can't see
You're tryin' to make sense now
You know you once held the key
That was the river
This is the sea

River
River
River
River...

I hear there's a train
Comin' down the line
It's yours if you hurry
You still got some time
You don't need no ticket
You don't pay no fee
You don't need no ticket
You don't pay no fee
That was the river
This is the sea
That was the river
This is the sea

That was the river
This is the sea
That was the river
Behold the sea

Luka Bloom, Open Up Your Arms

HEART MAN, Luka Bloom
