Everybody Goes Home | Song# 97 | 12/04/1987

Everybody looks outside their window
Everybody opens closet doors
Everybody wonders what they were put here for
We leave footprints in the snow

I never do expect to see a unicorn
But I would like to watch my children grow
Gie me a dime, give me a dozen roses
Give me the echoes of the hunter’s horn

Refreain:
Every body goes Home
Everybody goes Home
Every body goes Home
Everybody goes Home

I had an idea but I lost it in infinity
It passed me by and did not pity me
I could be here or I could be there…or somewhere
You can either liver or you can sit and stare

Refrain:

Drown my eyes in fields of blazing daffodils
Float me scarcely on a summer breeze
Cauterize my aching heart
And teach me how to breathe!

Refrain:

Everybody looks outside their window
Everybody opens closet doors
Everybody wonders what they were put here for
Me? I leave footprints in the snow

Commentary: I wrote this song around the time my grandmother passed away over the age of 100 and a young friend of mine David Solar died in a car accident barely 20 years old. Our lives are so fragile and so temporary yet we live as if we have plenty of time. We don’t. Savor every moment. Do what you most love to do. Spend time with those you most want to be with. Remember to breathe.

Walk Through Roses

December 13, 2009 By Mark

Added this music video last week to ModernJedi.com because it embodies some key concepts I teach in my NLP trainings. Although I've already shared just the audio with you on this site, I thought you might enjoy the music video as well as my NLP students. Please leave a comment below or share with someone who could use a positive message today. It's from my Eyes On The Horizon CD

Commentary: Why this is an "NLP Song": One of the key concepts of NLP is that of Focus. You can focus on what you want or focus on what you don't want. The problem with focusing on what you don't want is it sends a message to your unconscious mind to give you that. For example: Don't think of a blue tree! What happens? Bet you thought of a blue tree right? One of the questions we ask our clients who often have a long list of what they don't want is....

"What DO you want?" So that's what this song is about.

Please let me know what you think.

Coming Home 3/31/92 | Revised 9/30/02 | Song #165

Have you been stumbling through frozen winter fields,
Running from the shadows of the wounds that would not heal?
Have you been like the children who live on what they steal?
Are you open to the wisdom that your pain just might reveal?

Refrain:
It’s been a long time that I’ve been gone
It’s been a long time that you’ve been gone
It’s been a long time that we’ve been gone
I believe we’re coming Home

I invite you to a higher trance
Where the rhythms fill your body and remind you how to dance
Where healing hands can hold you and help release the hurt
Where you can re-create yourself with your thoughts and words

Refrain:

You are chosen to live within the Light
And I was born to tell you that it is yours by birthright
I may be a healer, but it’s time for you to see
You are just as much a healer, a healer as me…

Refrain: (X2)

Commentary: this song reflects work I was doing in the late 80's and 90's healing my life. I was struggling on many fronts. Physically, I was exhausted and seemed to be unable to digest my food properly. Emotionally I was full of anger, sadness, fear, shame...you name it I was getting clobbered by it. I could not for the life of me seem to be able to do anything significant with my music. Couldn't perform it or sell it or market it or anything. So I began to study Energy Healing with a woman named Mearah Marqua who was one of Barbara Brennon's first students. I studied with her and a group of other people seeking to heal their lives one weekend a month. Slowly things began to change. First of course they fell apart even more! Eventually, step by step (always taking way longer than I wanted ) the healing began and the thriving and joy followed. This song is dedicated to a friend of mine who found me on twitter who is recovering from a serious auto accident... please share this link with anyone you know who may need some healing support. Thanks for listening! Mark
