Lyrics to "It is Well" by Troubadours of Divine Bliss


Take this hurt, empty this cup

I've been drinking from it long enough

Let it spill all the poison that it holds

I am thirsty but not for this

I can taste on my lips

the sweet nectar of letting this all go

Lift me up, Make me well

So in my heart Love may dwell

Make me well, make me well, make me well

Lift me up, Make me whole

Make me peaceful in my Soul

It is well, it is well, it is well

Take this anger and it's clenches

There's no safety in these trenches

Let this battle finally be won

I want to fight for peace not war

Wield my sword of truth but only for

Opening and letting this all go

Lift me up, Make me well

So in my heart Love may dwell

Make me well, make me well, make me well

Lift me up, Make me whole

Make me peaceful in my Soul

It is well, it is well, it is well

Take this fear from my head

I want to wear a crown instead

Filled with jewels of compassion,

courage, grace and love

Move these mountains, lift these veils

I haven't lost, I haven't failed

I've been forged, fired, revealed

I am healed

Lift me up, Make me well

So in my heart Love may dwell

Make me well, make me well, make me well

Lift me up, Make me whole

Make me peaceful in my Soul

It is well, it is well, it is well

66 Unfinished Love Songs

Your eyes are disks of sky that tell the History of Romance

Your smile is a mile of pearls strung along the moon

Your words move like ships dropping anchor on my Soul

Come roll your "stay beside me" llike a pillow to lay on



Never has this heart felt such a thrill of tenderness

Never have these arms held someone more near than you

We'll never let a day pass without a dance to the Divine

Join me in simple luxury under a chocolate sky



Je'taime Companera

my promised One

My heart is like brick come to life

now I am drinking the Sun



You whispered into every part of my thirsty Soul

Come open all my doors...feel free to roam

You discovered all of the forgotten islands in me

deliriously gorgeous silver-footed Queen



Micro, Tele me

of Hope's fantasy

and I'll be your Believe Charmer

Nightspell took a chance

Moondance fell into a trance

now this fairytale is real



Je'taime Companera

my promised One

My heart is like brick come to life

now I am drinking the Sun




(nicknames: "Micro"scopic-Renee, "Tele"scopic-Aim Me ...as well as Nightspell & Moondance)

Deep Song, Wise Woman (words by Vik Bennett)

She's of this world and she is not
More beautiful than the deepest cut
She'll break your heart and heal your pain
Rock you when your worn and drained

She'll warm you when you're cold from fear
Give you strength when night draws near
She knows you as you know your name
Each time you curse her she'll love you the same

She is the Wise One- the one who knows
She understands the way that Life grows
She speaks in tongues before language was known
She's a refugee, she's always home


She builds a wall around her bed,
She plants a forest round her head.
She takes the stars out of the sky
and puts them in her blackened eyes...
And in the quiet of the night
She holds a tiny thread of Light

She's a place of challenge and a place of rest
Nourish all the souls upon her suckled breast
She's old as the Earth and very young
the Forest Hag and the Wild Woman

She is the Wise One- the one who knows
She understands the way that Life grows
She speaks in tongues before language was known
She's a refugee, she's always home



She builds a wall around her bed,
She plants a forest round her head.
She takes the stars out of the sky
and puts them in her blackened eyes...
And in the quiet of the night
She holds a tiny thread of Light

Divining Utopia




I dream of empty warplanes flying overhead
gone to bring our Sons and Daughters to their Mamma's arms again
I dream of family farms growing like weeds
and the soul of our soil is filled with heirloom seeds
Every neighborhood you see, Gardens growing in the city
and the food that we eat comes from right down the street
Every neighborhood you Shops owned locally
and the goods that they sell from people treated well
Crops of Cattails cleanse the rivers and the streams
and Sugar,Sun and Wind - power everything
yea,Sugar,Sun and Wind - power everything

I believe there's a better way for you and I
to Be together in this Life
I believe there's a better way for you and I
to spend the rest of our time
together in this Life

I had a vision that every person in the world had food enough to eat,
clean water to drink, a home and a loving hand to hold
I had a vision of a world, where it's safe to be a boy or girl
Innocence protected cause our Soul's been resurrected
I said Innocence protected cause our Soul's been resurrected
I believe...

in God as the Father and the Mother
the only law we need is to Love one another
work a lot less and laugh a lot more
cause we find it takes little
when our heart is full


I believe there's a better way for you and I
to Be together in this Life
I believe there's a better way for you and I
to spend the rest of our time
together in this Life

I know this much is true
We came into this world believing there's nothing we can't do
It doesn't have to be so hard
If we Love with our Minds
and Think with our Hearts
well it's a start...I believe


I see people of Faith, who know that God has many names
and they honor every inch of Earth like it's a sacred place
yes, they honor every inch of Earth like it's a Sacred Place
I believe...

We stopped listening to the few and gave the Power to the many

until one day
we traded our weapons of war for endless peace

I know it's just a dream
but if enough of us believe
it could be a reality...this could be our reality
Do you believe....believe with me

I believe there's a better way for you and I
to Be together in this Life
I believe there's a better way for you and I
to spend the rest of our time
together in this Life
