Once Upon a Dream
Bradfield

Upon a dream, upon a star
And the more extreme will journey far
A new born dream from silence comes
And the path we lead is the tale we’ve spun
Once upon a dream, in the setting sun
The choice is ours, one voice of love
To find the stream: just make believe
Once upon a dream

Que la magie brille
Qu’il y ai de l’amour sans cesse
Et dans l'infini : qu'on atteigne ce rêve
Once upon a dream, when the war is done
And the face of hope: a race we’ve won
Once upon a dream, once upon a star
This timeless theme is for the heart

In bland routine, the unforseen is in our dreams
Life’s not how it seems
Once upon a dream...

The Maiden Whose Voice Made the Animals Sing
Bradfield

Far, far away, long ago
In a forest, 'twas spring
There lived a young maiden whose voice made the animals sing
Her aspect was gentle, her face always lit with a smile
Her kindness to all in her midst made each moment worthwhile

They sing of the joy that she brings

Doves, deer and rabbits would gather around her to play
While all nature's spirits would join in the wondrous refrain
The love in that forest: a miracle pure as a dream
No king, fame or fortune could ever such harmony weave

They sing, they sing of the joy that she brings

Right there before us, even now, in a butterfly's wings
There lives a young maiden whose voice makes the animals sing

Sing...

White Light Valley
Bradfield

White light valley, white light day
White light valley in the white light rain
White light vision, white light grace
White light visions under the white light rays

Something here is happening, nature's cast a spell
It's a living breathing spirit and a tale that all can tell

White light story, white light phrase
White light story of an old man saved
White light glory, white light praise
White light glory in a white light blaze

In her midst: new meaning; in her, stillness dwells
And the souls who taste her beauty will forever be upheld

Here where peace is granted here where fears are quelled
And the energy surrounding is the mirror of ourselves

White light morning, white light embrace
White light morning in a white light place

No Ordinary Year
Bradfield

In a brisk, backward glance to the onlooker's eye
Another short year has now drifted on by
A few moments of bliss and God, still too much pain
Come twelve months full cycle and more of the same?

But somewhere, it's different; yes, elsewhere there's haste
To render new meaning to chances we waste
Like the dreams in our closets and hope in our hearts
That both lie unspoken till long past the scars

"Hold on, hold on; when there's resistance
Send light from above; "hold on, hold on" she said
"For though the wall might stand years
It will crumble to pieces with love..."

So these distant transmissions keep seeking my ear
And tonight, its clear signal: "this was no ordinary year..."
Its days would know rebirth from under the snow
When no hint of life was detected or shown

"Hold on, hold on..."

The path was uncertain and ridden with thorns
As the wizard kept spawning new games
Well there's magic in angels and flight in their wings
But their power to heal is the sound when they sing...

He grew younger in spirit and shifted his role
And as sickness withdrew became gentler of soul
He sent love to this traveller; a love reconciled
And nourished a pipeline that strengthens each mile

"Hold on, hold on..."

So, in the calm of repose through this holiday time
Let no thought intrude on the growth we've defined
For if time's but a veil o'er this journey divine
Then a year soon retired saw two hearts find their stride.

Triumphant
Bradfield

Here on the edge of another age
What can be said of what we've done?
Looking ahead to tomorrow
Seems as though the circle's been too small

Tracing the steps of our younger days
Finding the keys to why we are
Many've been wrong and more will follow
Lined up at the door some say revolves

Nothing's the same as what imagined
Not oft the same as what it was
But here in the heart we are triumphant
Hail to the heart

This chance here before us is all we need to toss our cares
Leading us on to new horizons, opening the heavens clear and far

And there in the light to dance with angels
Golden moonbeams in their hair, love to share
And symphonic voices sing, "Triumphant, hail to the heart!"

Here on the edge of another age
Only the Lord knows what we've spun
Looking ahead to tomorrow
With every thought and deed do we incarn
And positivity will heal the scars
To catch a distant star...

If Life Were But a Fairytale
Bradfield

Years ago in a place that haunts thee
Lived a girl with timeless purity
He`d felt her breeze on that summer`s day
He dared to think she might be his one day

A kiss to last, autumn leaves were falling
Hearts in hand and endless sharing
As winter came, see them so in love
The fires of newfound dreams would keep them warm

In the sunlight, by the moonlight, when you`re young and fair
Through the seasons, as in Eden, time is hardly there
And if only, life were only but a fairytale
For you, for I - there`d be no more goodbyes

Years dissolve, now he reminisces
She`s long been gone to Antithesis
He`ll love again and she`s settled down
The wheel of life has simply carried on
On and on...

By the firelight on a cold night, in the dancing flames
After midnight in the starlight, but their ghosts remain
And if only, life were only but a fairytale
For you, for I - there`d be no more goodbyes

Rêve d'Été
Anael

Étendue sur la plage
Regardant passer les nuages
Écoutant les vagues
Un oiseau passe qui s’en va au loin

On entend les échos
Des goélands au bord de l’eau
J’entend leur murmures
Qui m’ennivrent, qui m’emportent au loin

Y’a le soleil qui brille dans le ciel
Câlinant l’espace qui chante autour de moi
Y’a aussi la mer qui joue avec mes rêves
Retoune à l’envers, l’été qui s’en va

Étendue sur la plage
J'ai la tête plein d'images
Les pieds dans les vagues
Un oiseau passe qui s’en va au loin

While Time is Slowly Fleeting
Bradfield

Long since begun, nurtured years of dreaming
And faith has spun an altered sense of reason
As long as it's leading you, the mind will hunt the vision
But time is slowly fleeting, it's fleeting from you
And what can you do?

Define the sun: for each a different meaning
And who to judge the light redeeming
That warms us each contrarily
Mine has shown me another state
One that fosters precision
But time is slowly fleeting
So tell me, what will you do?

She can't take what you have
She'll chase you and dare you to dance
But your fate's in your hands
In your unsparing will to surpass
Your path is sacred and drives the fear away
So if time is slowly fleeting, know it's His way

Well now's the hour for dreaming
Time to seek my newest Eden
I drift beyond to greet her
In a kingdom only we share
It's always wonderful inside of me
To find the soul's been waiting
And while time is slowly fleeting
There's still so much here to do

Though Lovers Be Lost...
Bradfield

Though lovers be lost
Love shall always remain
Though touch be not ours
Our love, it shall never wain

I can feel your warmth inside me
As though around me
I smile and it calls back the days
Never to forget, I pray
Or be lonely to hear you say
"I love you, and I am near you..."

My faith keeps me strong
And time shall witness my flame
To you I belong
My heart from you shall not stray

Only you have I embraced
Now that you're gone
I will never ever love again
We vowed forever no matter what would be
Now world, I'm living only for our dream...

Though lovers be lost
Love shall always remain
Though touch be not ours
Our love, it shall never wain

Take the High Road
Bradfield

Deep inside: we’re the angels' pride
Encoded with ascension in our grasp
For paradise is our hope and vice
The New Jerusalem lies waiting
For the masses to agree

Connection’s through our karmic contribution
The knowledge that we sow our every deed
In the instant of decision
There’s a current that’s released
And the stage is set for the architect

Take the high road, brave the high road
Breathe into every moment light and love
Follow the trail your heart knows
Leave no door closed
Seek your sun and join as one with God

Rise and shine, let your intentions guide
And celebrate another peaceful day
Souls aligned cast a billion rays of light
Dissolving each and every shadow’s birth

Healing is tranmitted through our feelings
Balancing the energies with prayer
Consciousness has overtaken physics in our land
And with a critical mass:
We can change the plan
