English folk singer Ralph McTell wrote this song for the 1996 TV show "Billy Connolly's World Tour of Australia".   Lyrics below....

The scent of smoke on desert wind
Beneath the Southern Cross,
Far beyond where time begins
Generations lost....

I could not be further from you now
With both feet on the ground,
In the Dreamtime souls take flight
And I am closer to you now.

If I should lay me down to sleep
Forest green or shining lake,
I could arise to find you gone
To take for granted my mistake.

And I am......

Mountains crumble forests vanish
Seeds awakened by the fire,
Water air and earth have borne them
I can feel my old ones near.

And I am......

And yet I could not be further from you now
With both feet on the ground,
In the Dreamtime, souls take flight
And I am closer to you now....

And I am.......

Flames are dancing in the fire
Timeless songs are on the air,
In the wilderness they are crying
But there is laughter everywhere.

And I am.....

 




In The Dreamtime (Ralph McTell)

Angel In The Valley

Chris James - Angel In The Valley

This song is written by Andy Blissett (creator of a Hundred Thousand Angels)...It came to him quite easily late at night.  We have kept it literally the same.  I wanted a song about having good wishes for the self and others and this is just right.   its almost like a loving kindness prayer... it really does create a beautiful feeling when I sing it and others can feel it too.

pls email me on info@soulshine.org.uk if you'd like to know when my album is coming out. x  Id also love to hear how this song touches you x
