All of these visions and daily decisions are bringing me closer to you
The moments I live and stay open to give are the times when I know what to do
Deep within, I know what's true, inside my heart is only you

A half empty cup makes me want to wake up
I'm asleep and I don't even know
It's a daze that I'm in, yes I'm ready to dig into the places that I fear the most

All my life, I've known what's true
Inside my heart is only you
I long to give my life to thee
With you my soul is free free free free

Free, to live as love is, to be as the being is
Free, cause God is all that truly Is
Free, to build a new road, to walk with you all the way home

If there's one thing for certain, it's that all can be forgiven
And so it is

And So It Is

I forgive myself

Take a look ago above, to the night sky
Can you see yourself, the reflection in your eyes
I'm walking in the fire, I'm walking in the rain
Hold me in your heart, I'm coming back again

I forgive myself
The longer that I wait
The more I need to move
Away from suffering
All that's keeping me from you
Walking in the fire, walking in the rain
Hold me in your heart, I'm coming back again
Look towards the sun, and see me as I am
Hold me in your love, and take me in your hands

I forgive myself

I Forgive Myself

This collection of songs reflects the theme of Forgiveness. The last song Saraswati/Gayatri is a prayer in the Sanskrit language.

Down beneath the ocean there are places we all know
Covered with rocks and sand are secrets from a long time ago
How can we begin to find out if we don't look within
Through the veil of shadows to the light of origin

It's a long long road to forgiveness help us let this go
It's the right time now to begin let's move into the flow

May we wake in the mountains
May we wake in the snow
May we wake in the shelter of the love we've always known
May we wake in the forest
May we awaken in the sea
May we wake in the quiet places in between our dreams

Heaven is within ourselves we've always felt that's so
Illusion has us hypnotized our eyelids have been closed
Watch for the great remembrance to guide us through the door
To reveal the secrets from beneath the ocean floor

May we wake in the mountains
May we wake in the snow
May we wake in the shelter of the love we've always known
May we wake in the forest
May we awaken in the sea
May we wake in the quiet places in between our dreams
May we wake in the quiet the quiet the quiet
May we wake in the quiet places where we've always been

May We Wake

This collection of songs reflects the theme of Forgiveness. The last song Saraswati/Gayatri is a prayer in the Sanskrit language.

Om Saraswati (meaning Mother of knowledge, wisdom and music, we adore you)

Om Bhur Bhuva Svaha Tat Savitur Varenyum
Bhargo Devasya Dhimahi Diyoyona Prachodayat
(the Gayatri mantra is one of the most powerful in the Vedic tradition.  It's meanings and translations are many, and to me it is a deep respect, honoring, and prayer to the divine light in our hearts / the light of the great sun of creation)

Saraswati   Gayatri

Adam Van Wielingen's album, The Mountain, was officially released May 12, 2017 in the presence of Adam's family and friends at the National Music Centre in Calgary, Canada. Sadly, Adam passed away three months before the planned album release party. In his too-short lifetime Adam gave fully of himself and received so much. He touched the lives of many with his gentle heart, beautiful presence and creative spirit. Adam lived with great depth of spiritual sensitivity and awareness, clearly evidenced in his lyrics. Adam's legacy lives on through his music, for which we are forever grateful.

The family sends heartfelt thanks to the following: Evan Freeman and Prashant Michael John, who helped to properly release this album, to all of Adam’s friends for the many gatherings and tributes, and, to those who are performing his songs so lovingly on May 12, 2017.
