Lyrics: 

From Where Does Wisdom Come	

Wisdom flows from many streams,
Life's rich tapestry of dreams,
From moments lived and lessons learned,
In every triumph, every turn.

Through quiet reflection's gentle grace,
In contemplation's sacred space,
We find the threads of deeper knowing,
Where seeds of wisdom start their growing.

In voices of the wise and old,
In stories shared, in truths retold,
We gather pearls of ancient lore,
To guide us on life's shifting shore.

Knowledge gained through study's light,
Books and tomes, both day and night,
Yet wisdom's more than facts and figures,
It's insight gained through broader triggers.

Intuition, a silent guide,
From depths within, where truths reside,
A whisper from the soul's own core,
Leading us to understand more.

In faith and spirit's tender touch,
In sacred texts that mean so much,
We find a wisdom pure and bright,
A beacon in the darkest night.

Compassion's heart, empathy's gaze,
Illuminate our chosen ways,
For wisdom blooms where kindness grows,
In every act, in love it shows.

Through trials faced and battles fought,
In challenges, our wisdom's wrought,
Adversity, a teacher true,
Forging strength from what we knew.

So wisdom comes from varied streams,
In life's rich weave, in quiet dreams,
A gift of time, of heart, of mind,
A treasure in our souls we find.

Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
I felt the fire inside me, 
burning bright and wild,
A storm of rage was brewing, 
like a tempest in a child,
But I knew there was a lesson, 
in every angry wave,
A path that led to freedom, 
and the wisdom to be brave.

[Chorus]
Oh, anger turned to ashes, 
when I learned to let it go,
Found peace in deeper waters, 
where the wise and gentle flow,
From the flame into the quiet, 
where my heart can find release,
Transforming anger into wisdom, 
turning pain into peace.

[Verse 2]
I saw my past frustrations, 
rising like the tide,
Echoes of the moments 
when I felt pushed aside,
But through the eyes of wisdom, 
I saw the truth was clear,
That peace comes from forgiving, 
and love is always near.

[Bridge]
Oh, wisdom is a river, 
flowing calm and deep,
It can cool the hottest anger, 
and put the storm to sleep,
In the silence of reflection, 
I found the better way,
To turn my wrath to kindness, 
and let compassion play.

[Verse 3]
Now I walk the path of stillness, 
where anger cannot tread,
Where wisdom lights the journey, 
and peace lies just ahead,
Each step I take with patience, 
each breath I take with grace,
I’m learning from my anger, 
and finding my true place.

[Chorus]
Oh, anger turned to ashes, 
when I learned to let it go,
Found peace in deeper waters, 
where the wise and gentle flow,
From the flame into the quiet, 
where my heart can find release,
Transforming anger into wisdom, 
turning pain into peace.

[Outro]
So if you’re feeling angry, 
and don’t know what to do,
Look deep into the shadows, 
find the light that’s shining through,
For peace is always waiting, 
on the other side of fear,
Transform your anger into wisdom, 
let the path be clear.

Lyrics

[Intro]
Verse 1:
I was caught in a battle, a war I didn't choose,  
Words like daggers, left me battered and bruised.  
They said I was worthless, that I'd never be,  
But I was fighting, trying to set myself free.  

Chorus:
Every night I’d see them, demons at my door,  
Feasting on my heart, taking what they came for.  
But I found the words, to set me free,  
I cried out loud, "But He loves me!"  

Verse 2:
I knew my mind was spinning, trying to find the truth,  
Caught in their shadows, trying to break through.  
Then came the night, I finally knew the key,  
Spoke those words, "But He loves me."  

Chorus:
Every night I’d see them, demons at my door,  
Feasting on my heart, taking what they came for.  
But I found the words, to set me free,  
I cried out loud, "But He loves me!"  

[Instrumental]

Bridge:
They spat out the darkness, let go of my soul,  
With an oath of protection, they made me whole.  
I found my strength in what they couldn’t see,  
That even in their darkness, love set me free.  

Outro:
Now I stand tall, no longer afraid,  
Found my own light, in the path that I made.  
With love as my armor, I faced what I had to see,  
And it all began with, "But He loves me."

Walkin' and wonderin', just another day
Wisdom comes whisp'ring, sweeps me away
World shifts and shimmers, nothing's the same
Woken to wonders, I can't explain

But silence and stillness have tales to tell
Of visions and voices and verdant dreams,

Fasting, focusing, sensory caves
From streets to mountaintops, labs to shrines,

In clarity, confusion often lies
In doubt and darkness, wisdom sometimes flies

Lyrics: 
Verse 1
In a forest wide and wondrous, stood a tree so tall and grand,
Its roots dug deep in the earth below, its branches touched the stars’ expanse.
They called it the Magic Tree, a marvel to behold,
With leaves that whispered every tongue, in stories yet untold.

Chorus
Oh, the Magic Tree, reaching up to touch the sky,
Bringing words from every land, teaching hearts to never die.
From its roots down to the heavens, it unites both you and me,
In the language of compassion, from the Magic Tree.

Verse 2
Mira came from distant lands, with a heart weighed down with care,
She longed to speak and understand, but felt lost most everywhere.
She rested ’neath that mighty tree, and it spoke in her own tongue,
“Plant these seeds in every town, let understanding be begun.”

Chorus
Oh, the Magic Tree, reaching up to touch the sky,
Bringing words from every land, teaching hearts to never die.
From its roots down to the heavens, it unites both you and me,
In the language of compassion, from the Magic Tree.

Verse 3
She took the seeds and traveled on, planting in each place she went,
And from the soil of kindness grew, trees of understanding sent.
But in soils dark with anger’s blight, the fruits were sharp and cold,
Yet love and patience turned them sweet, as wisdom took its hold.

Chorus
Oh, the Magic Tree, reaching up to touch the sky,
Bringing words from every land, teaching hearts to never die.
From its roots down to the heavens, it unites both you and me,
In the language of compassion, from the Magic Tree.

[Instrumental]

Bridge
Now its branches touch the stars above, its roots are strong and deep,
A bridge between the earth and sky, where hearts and spirits meet.
It teaches us to speak with love, in every word we share,
To find the common ground we seek, with kindness everywhere.

Chorus
Oh, the Magic Tree, reaching up to touch the sky,
Bringing words from every land, teaching hearts to never die.
From its roots down to the heavens, it unites both you and me,
In the language of compassion, from the Magic Tree.

Outro
So let us plant and tend our seeds, in soil rich and pure,
And watch our trees touch the heavens, with love that will endure.
For the Magic Tree stands tall, a guide for you and me,
To speak in words of unity, and live in harmony.

Lyrics: 

Intentions lead to actions, actions build our fate,  
Yeah, intentions lead to actions, actions build our fate.  
Can't escape the mirror, when the hour's getting late.

Consciousness awakens, in the cradle of a womb,  
Oh, consciousness awakens, in the cradle of a womb.  
From birth to aging wrinkles, we're marching to the tomb.

If I could see the patterns, the links that bind us tight,  
I'd free myself from longing, step into the light.

Verse 1:
I walked a path last night, shadows on my mind,  
Yeah, I walked a path last night, shadows on my mind.  
Ignorance wrapped around me, like a fog I couldn't find.

Verse 2:
Saw a flower bloom at dusk, wither by the morn',  
Oh, saw a flower bloom at dusk, wither by the morn'.  
Impermanence is callin', in this world where we are born.

Chorus:
Oh, the wheel keeps on turnin', round and round we go,  
Caught in this cycle, from the seeds we sow.  
Break these chains of sorrow, let the wisdom flow.

Verse 3:
Intentions lead to actions, actions build our fate,  
Yeah, intentions lead to actions, actions build our fate.  
Can't escape the mirror, when the hour's getting late.

Verse 4:
Consciousness awakens, in the cradle of a womb,  
Oh, consciousness awakens, in the cradle of a womb.  
From birth to aging wrinkles, we're marching to the tomb.

Chorus:
Oh, the wheel keeps on turnin', life's a river wide,  
Drifting on these currents, with desire as our guide.  
Searching for an anchor, somewhere deep inside.

Bridge:
If I could see the patterns, the links that bind us tight,  
I'd free myself from longing, step into the light.

Verse 5:
So I sit in meditation, let the stillness speak,  
Yeah, I sit in meditation, find the truth I seek.  
Beyond the veil of Maya, it's enlightenment I greet.

Final Chorus:
Oh, the wheel keeps on turnin', but I can choose my way,  
Break the chains of cycles, see a brighter day.  
In the heart of silence, the blues just fade away.

[Lyrics]

[Verse 1:]
I walked the path of shadows, 
through the valley of my mind,
Demons rising up in fury, 
fierce and unkind,
Their faces filled with anger, 
eyes like burning flames,
I knew I had to face them, 
or I’d never be the same.

[Chorus:]
Oh, the shadows in the darkness, 
twist and turn with fright,
But with a single thought, 
I can bring them into light,
Transforming all my poison 
into medicine so true,
The demons turn to angels, 
and my soul is born anew.

[Verse 2:]
In the darkest of the valley, 
I saw the Light so clear,
But fear and doubt came creeping, 
whispering in my ear,
I saw my anger rising, 
a storm across the sea,
But I knew that I could calm it 
if I set my spirit free.

[Instrumental]

[Bridge:]
Oh, the power in a moment, 
a thought can change it all,
From anger into wisdom, 
from a rise to a fall,
I saw the angels smiling, 
faces full of grace,
And I knew I’d found the courage 
to meet them face to face.

[Verse 3:]
I felt the pull of desire, 
trying to lead me astray,
But I knew that true compassion 
was the only way,
I faced my fears head-on, 
turned them into my friend,
And with every step I’m taking, 
I’m closer to the end.

[Chorus:]
Oh, the shadows in the darkness, 
twist and turn with fright,
But with a single thought, 
I can bring them into light,
Transforming all my poison 
into medicine so true,
The demons turn to angels, 
and my soul is born anew.

[Verse 4:]
Now I walk with serenity, 
my mind as calm as glass,
Every encounter teaches me, 
every trial I pass,
The angels now are dancing, 
they’re no longer a fright,
I’ve learned to see their faces 
in the clear morning light.

[Reprise Verse 4:]
Now I walk with serenity, 
my mind as calm as glass,
Every encounter teaches me, 
every trial I pass,
The angels now are dancing, 
they’re no longer a fright,
I’ve learned to see their faces 
in the clear morning light.
[End]
