Lyrics:

Different Notes Of The Same Song | May 3-12, 2010 | Song # 421

I saw a light in the window of a church
And I wondered “is that God or is it just the Sun?
And you said you once saw a fire in a forest
That turned out to be the rising giant of the moon
Are we random or filled with purpose
Are we phantoms wondering what birth is?
Are we separate or are we one?
Are we different notes of the very same song?

And who can tell what is real and what’s imagined?
Who can tell what is true and what is the stuff of legend?
What is virtue, what is sin?
Did you catch the scent of lilac on the April wind?
Are we stardust or are we earth
Are diamonds of infinite worth?
Are we separate or are we one?
Are we different notes of the very same song?

Refrain:
“I believe, I believe!” she cried
As she dared her heart to open wide
“I believe, I believe” he sighed,
“That the cynics all have lied
Because I love you more with every day
I love you more in every way”

The human heart is more fragile than an iris
Or the will ‘o the wisp in a strong man’s fist
But I will take the risk of reflection
As we join together our two directions
Are we flags of hope flying on the wind?
Are we the spark of lights penetrating the evening?
Are we separate or are we one?
Are we different notes of the very same song?

Refrain:

Sweet cream in the bitterness of coffee
Swallows dancing in the air beneath the bridge
Take my hand and climb with me
To the place where we can dangle our legs over the edge
Are we apart from the air we breathe?
Are we the sum of what we believe?
Are we separate or are we one?
Are we different notes of the very same song?

Some reviews & testimonials

For me these songs are transformational lessons in self-love…

Dear Mark, THANK YOU for sending *Spark & Flame*!!!! This CD certainly is a compilation of Conscious Love Songs! As I listen I am transported to memory after memory past, present and future, fulfilled and unfulfilled. I was flooded with many different emotions. I cried, laughed, held my breath and also breathed deep heart-centered breaths of connection to the Divine. I feel joy, grief, sadness, compassion, love, awe, freedom, kindness, gratitude and appreciation. For me these songs are transformational lessons in self-love, releasing, acceptance for what was, what is and who I am. Knowing that I am enough and that I am Divinely Loved.

You have put a grown man in tears…

Mark, this song and message really hit home for me today. You have put a grown man in tears. Thank You for what you do. Sometimes I think you sound kind of cheesy, and then others, I think you are a genius, and I’m beginning to realize that you actually care about helping people. So hard to “get out of your own way” sometimes…thanks for the reminder.
