Awakening to Love by Troubadours of Divine Bliss
All these rooms in my Soul
I'm so afraid to go
behind the walls- secrets, scars and shadows
I will no longer feel this pain
no longer be restrained
Wild-eyed Innocence- let my Soul be born again
Now's the time to heal
what's been broken inside
I've waited, waited too long to cry
Now's the time to show
all the things I felt I had to hide
I hold the key to the cage I'm locked inside
Open the door and let me fly!
Awaken Me to Love
Awaken Me to Love
Awaken Me to Love
We're all humming the same tune
Dreaming under the same Moon
just trying to get it right
longing for the Light
So many stories to tell,
we know that Love will prevail
if we believe we are all worthy
We are worthy to be loved and love abundantly
Worthy to feel the depths so tenderly
Worthy to forgive and be forgiven
Worthy to hold the Kingdom of Heaven within
The Kingdom of Heaven is within
Awaken Us to Love
Awaken Us to Love
Awaken Us to Love
From every corner we will meet
Encircle the Ancient Tree
and if we stand there long enough
we'll remember how to Sing
how to Laugh, how to Trust,
how to be at Peace
how to Dream in a chorus of remembering
We are called to be Wise, to be Strong, to be True
Called to rise to the Higher Self inside of you
Called to be Whole to Heal and Reveal
Called to feel this Ocean of Love
Ocean of Love
Awaken us to Love
Awaken Us to Love
release rejection
release perfection
release hate it's not too late
you're not a prisoner of your Fate
Awaken Love in us
Awaken Love in us
awaken us, awaken us

ANNOUNCING our NEW ALBUM, AWAKENING TO LOVE!
Above is our song titles in order...we realized they encapsulate the feeling & intent of this album. They tell the story of what we pray to convey to you in these songs.
This is a time in which many are seeking, healing, revealing, connecting to themselves & this beautiful offering of Earth & Life we have been given.
There is an awakening occurring...we are wishing to break free of old habits & patterns that no longer serve our spirits or the human spirit on this beautiful planet.
We believe there is a better way that we can be together in this life. This turning, this shift must first begin within. We hope these songs of our heart will affirm your path & inspire your quest of awakening.
Thank you for believing in our bliss & most importantly, believing in your own sweet life & purpose.
Thank you to The Friend who is awakening us to Love and who is escorting us up the stairway of existence into this dream of Utopia.
" New levels of spiritual awareness are upon us and by recognizing their beauty we can inspire every aspect of our lives. Let your soul be an oasis of transformation that takes your life to the next level and fulfills your dreams. Rejoice in your awakening, the future is now and love is in every breath you take." Micheal Teal

Serenade for Seraphim... a song for our Angels
Serenade for Seraphim
a Song for our Angels
by Troubadours of Divine Bliss
You're an Angel, that's what you are
You're the reason, I made it this far
and I don't have wish cause you are the star of this show, don't you know?
You're the reason I believe in miracles and destiny
You're the Guardian of my Dreams
When I was far away from home, you gave me a place to lay my head
When I felt all alone, you suddenly appeared
When my hands were empty, you reached out to share
When it seemed my dreams would not come true, you were the answer to my prayer
you were always there
When hope was lost, you gave me yours
My Compass, My Anchor
when I was drifting out to sea,
you saw my need and rescued me
Your the wind beneath my sails
my truest friend that never fails
Your the coin in my Wishing Well
When I was far away from home, you gave me a place to lay my head
When I felt all alone, you suddenly appeared
When my hands were empty, you reached out to share
When it seemed my dreams would not come true, you were the answer to my prayer
you were always there
You're my Angel, my Alchemist
You made a way where none exists
From the seed you gave- this Garden lives
You're a messenger of kindness
You're the Muse in my music,
an instrument of bliss
and I vow to give the others this gift
When I was far away from home, you gave me a place to lay my head
When I felt all alone, you suddenly appeared
When my hands were empty, you reached out to share
When it seemed my dreams would not come true, you were the answer to my prayer
you were always there
Thank you for your love sublime
your gracious gifts, your bread and wine
Thank you for being the Hand of the Divine
My heart's so full of gratitude
for all the ways you see me through
You are my Angel right here on Earth
Thank you for being an Angel on Earth

Invite the Light
INVITE THE LIGHT
Take me down, Take me down
Take me down to the water's edge

Lead me on, Lead me on
Lead me on to a brand new dawn
where I know that I belong
Lead me on and on
cause I've grown tired of the games and weary of the ways of this world
oooh When I'm feelin tossed about and lost at sea

The Greening
THE GREENING
Spring has sprung as Winter falls asleep
and I'm in love with every little beating thing
there's a skip in my step, there's a whistle through the leaves
the clouds are pullin taffy, the birds are laughing
there's a dandelion growing through the crack of my smile
and my skin aint seen the Sun in quite a long while
as the sky lingers long, the horizon fills in
with everything that yearns to be born again...
I'm alive. It feels so free.
I'm on the inside of The Greening
Shattered the brittle frost and shivered into Opening...
I'm waking to be...in the Greening
I wanna feel the Deep Hum of Knowing
sow my roots into The Source and surrender to my growing
to know both the Seed and the Ancient Tree sowing itself into sky
Rumi says, "With the one rose you've purchased this Rose Garden- one seed, a wilderness"
I say, what a gift, what a simply wondrous gift...
the surprise of basil on my lover's lips
and the peppery wine that we sipped
and how everything that flowers opens itself like a cup- like a bell
like a hand longing to be held
I'm alive. It feels so free.
I'm on the inside of The Greening
Shattered the brittle frost and shivered into Opening...
I'm waking to be...in the Greening
How can it be that ball of fire, light years from me, finds It's way to lay a kiss on my cheek?
There are billions of us spinning like one-of-a-kind stars
aching to discover just what we are
like the moment the winged one first takes flight
like the first spark of dawn that lifts the curtain of night
so Disband the guards! Let down the gates! Unveil my heart cause it's Life that I chase...
I'm alive. It feels so free.

Shake the Devil, an Anthem for the Occupy Movement
An anthem for the Occupy Movement by Troubadours of Divine Bliss, believers in the reLOVEution...it is the solution!

"Shake the Devil" lyrics
Who's that Man with the briefcase in his hand
Fine tailored suit, bloodstain on his White collar
He'd cut Somebody's job to make a few more dollars
That Man, that Man, oh that Man
That Man, that Man, oh that Man
Who's that Woman- you've seen her on TV-
Made quite a fortune from her company
While all the work was done by People making pennies
That Woman, that Woman, that Woman
That Woman, that Woman, that Woman
It's time for The Haves to meet The Have Nots
Give a little of what they've got
Let's kick the money changers out of the Temple
It's true the Love of Money's the root of all evil
We sold our souls for little bit of dough
to thieves who stole from the starving
What can we do? Do what we can!
When you're faced with a choice you're either
Taking a Stand or Shaking the Devil's Hand
Who's that man with perfect hair waving his hand
Selling smiles to the highest bidding Corporation
He thinks the Golden Rule means to Rule in Gold
That Man, that Man, oh that Man
That Man, that Man, oh that Man
Who's that man with the Bible in his hand
Charging an entrance fee to the Promised Land
Says,"Blessed are the Meek!" then drives off in a limousine
That Man, that Man, oh that Man
That Man, that Man, Lord that Man
It's time for The Haves to meet The Have Nots
Give a little of what they've got
Let's kick the money changers out of the Temple
It's true the love of money's the root of all evil
We sold our souls for little bit of dough
to thieves who stole from the starving
What can we do? Do what we can!
When you're faced with a choice you're either
Taking a Stand or Shaking the Devil's Hand
Who's that Woman working PR for the plant
Children's health takes a backseat to her job security
It's more cost effective to poison the air they breathe
That Woman, that Woman, that Woman
That Woman, that Woman, that Woman
Who's that Man drilling for Oil in the Sand?
Does he have a purpose? Does he have a plan?
Ransom their their treasure for the highest price they can demand
That Man, that Man, oh that Man
That Man, that Man, Lord that Man
It's time for The Haves to meet The Have Nots
Give a little of what they've got
Let's kick the money changers out of the Temple
It's true the love of money's the root of all evil
We sold our souls for little bit of dough
to thieves who stole from the starving
What can we do? Do what we can!
When you're faced with a choice you're either
Taking a Stand or Shaking the Devil's Hand
Shake the Devil...Shake the Devil...Shake the Devil
