161 Beautiful Person (version 2)

39040762_sAbout this Song: (lyrics below)

This is the 2nd version I recorded of “Beautiful Person”.

The first one is from Visions & Voices CD.

This version includes some slight shifts in language inspired by the field of Neuro Linguistics.

Most notably is the shift into past tense. So, “I can not love you if I hate myself” became, “I could not love you when I hated myself”. The past tense pre-supposes that I no longer hate myself… see how it works? Even the subtlest of language patterns can free us from our old patterns and stories or keep us stuck.

This is another one of those “Transformation Tunes” to listen to repeatedly for its potential to get “stuck” in your head… and do some good in there… :o)

BTW I actually did have a dream where there was a lion coming up out of the bathtub drain! It scared me awake from a deep slumber. As I lay there in the dark it occurred to me that the lion represented my own true power. And that it was time to stop running away from it.

May you too find your true power and experience how incredibly beautiful you are. Right now. Right here. Today and Every day from now on!

–  Mark

Beautiful Person (version 2)

Song #161 | Jan-March 1991, revised 2002 | CD: Thirsty For The Sky (also Visions & Voices for version 1)

Refrain:
I am a beautiful person
I am a part of All That Is
I accept the abundance of Creation
And the Infinite gifts it gives

I could not love you when I hated myself
I could not give to you when I was poor
I could not heal the world when I had no health
I could not bring you peace by bringing you war

Refrain:

I am the lion that I saw in my dream
I unleash the hidden power in me
I am the universe just beyond my eyes
That I am only beginning to see

Refrain:

I am a joyful emotion too huge to be contained in me
I am the universe just beyond my eyes that I am only beginning to see
I spark across the mountains and the oceans
To the edges of the galaxy

Refrain:

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.

Jeremy

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.

Been singing the chorus since the first day I heard it…

I sh*t you not when I say I’ve been singing the chorus to Honest Rock since the first day I heard it. I sing this every single day. Many times a day. Seriously. It’s like a mantra to me. It soothes me:-)
