Lyrics: 

Raindrops falling / on leaves so green
Walking through time / a familiar scene 

Birds call on a new day / they have never been 
And the world comes alive / with the sound of the rain

I lost sight of you / but now I’m found
Sun melting snow / making streams on sacred ground 

 Magnolia Blossoms make magic carpets all around 
Hoping this moment will never slip away 

 I am Awakening 
 got nothing to hide 

 I am Awakening 
 Right here by your side 

 Sunlight streams  / distant songs of love
Universal dreams  / that come from above 
  
The brightest colours I’ve ever heard 
Mesmorized by their magical words

Like a river that runs forever 
 it’s an endless stream

We can navigate through any weather
Let’s sail this everlasting dream

 I am Awakening 
 got nothing to hide 

 I am Awakening
 Always right here by your side 

 I am Awakening 
Got nothing to hide

I am Awakening 
I am Awakening

The Imagination Machine - Dancing On A Highwire

Enjoy this diverse, musical, experience that offers a shot of wisdom and a taste of Jazz, Pop, Blues, Gospel, R&B, Reggae, and world beat rhythms. Sprinkled with a dash of powerful spoken word that is sure to touch your heart, inspire your soul, and even make you tap your feet & clap your hands. It is an album written with the heart of a poet, asking us all to ask ourselves this important question (in relation to all our our relationships) ... “What about Love?”
