Secret Admirer
If I seem a little nervous, maybe it's because I care and maybe I wouldn't be nervous
if we weren't breathing the same air....but we are.
I feel a little nervous, maybe it's because we're alone here and maybe I wouldn't be nervous
if there weren't ages of memory spoken in our stare ....but there are.
Here is my Secret Room. I've filled it full of flowers.
Each one my racing breath every time I've held my feelings in.
Now I give them all to you, breath by breath, one by one,
flowers that cover the Earth, the Sky, the Moon and the Sun.
And the Sun...
I feel a little nervous, wonder if you can tell the way I ride your words like a string of waves...
you've got me swimming in your spell. You do that so well.
I seem a little nervous, wonder if you can feel the heart you've captured in your hands.
I hope it's anxious rhythm, tells you everything I can't...everything I can't.
Here is my Secret Room. I've filled it full of flowers.
Each one my racing breath every time I've held my feelings in.
Now I give them all to you breath by breath, one by one,
flowers that cover the Earth, the Sky, the Moon and the Sun.
And the Sun...
I've looked into your eyes a million times under as many stars.
I want to tell you I love you as I have a million times before.
I want to dance with you freely in my heart's open field
where these whispers reach you long and sweet carried by the wind.
There's no time to be nervous now. Can't lose another moment to fear.
And every hesitation must disappear in the passion of an all-knowing Sun.
As I slip into your smile with waiting lips in this moment of just begun.
Here is my Secret Room. I've filled it full of flowers.
Each one my racing breath every time I've held my feelings in.
Now I give them all to you breath by breath, one by one,
flowers that cover the Earth, the Sky, the Moon and the Sun.
And the Sun...

Let's Be Civil (Gay Marriage Song)
As of August 2012:
-In 29 States, you can be fired for being Gay.
-There are more than 1,000 federal protections and rights denied to the LGBT community because we cannot legally marry- including no legal authority during the medical emergency of a partner and restricted care of our own children.
-Bullying of LGBT teenagers is a life-theatening act that is learned from our society.
EVERYONE WINS WHEN WE ALLOW MORE LOVE IN!

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.

Serenade for Seraphim... a song for our Angels
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
Take me down, Take me down
Take me down to the water's edge
where I know that I'll be fed
Take me down
Cause I've grown tired of the games and weary of the ways of this world
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
No one in sight to rescue me
I hold on, I know I carry on
I grow strong when I invite the Light of Love to shine through me
Invite the Light of Love to shine through me
then it's all good, it's all good, it's all good
yes it's all good, it's all good, it's all good
Lift me up, Lift me up
Lift me up higher and higher
til I can feel your love....lift me up
cause I've grown tired of the games and weary of the ways of this world
Pour through me, Pour through me a new anointing
Pour through me
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
No one in sight to rescue me
I hold on, I know I carry on
I grow strong when I invite the Light of Love to shine through me
Invite the Light of Love to shine through me
then it's all good, it's all good, it's all good
yes it's all good, it's all good, it's all good
oooh When I'm feelin tossed about and lost at sea
No one in sight to rescue me
I hold on, I know I carry on
I grow strong when I invite the Light of Love to shine through me
Invite the Light of Love to shine through me
then it's all good, it's all good, it's all good
yes it's all good, it's all good, it's all good
