lyrics    
listen! LOVE IS PROFOUND
©1985 Diana Lynne
 
 

Nanoneha-ah-ah. Nanonehea-ahea.
Nanoneha-ah-ah. Nanonehea-ahea-ahea-ahea.
Nanoneha-ah-ah. Nanonehea-ahea.
Nanoneha-ah-ah. Nanone-hu.

Love is the awakening of your soul,
Best of everything you have ever known.
Nanonehu-u-ha. Wea-awea.
So Profound.

Love can make you high, think that you can fly.
Turn right back around and bring you down, so hard you wanna die.
Nanonehu-u-ha. Wea-awea.
So Profound.

Love is that gentle glow, (that) fills your heart with hope.
(That) sharin' carin' feelin', that makes two hearts beat as one.
Wea-awea. Nanonehu-u-ha.
So Profound.

But when you reach out and he's (she's) not there, love's a bad trip!
(A) one way ticket to despair, loneliness you can not bear.
Wea-awea. Nanonehu-u-ha.
So Profound.

LOVE IS PROFOUND, ANYWHERE IT CAN BE FOUND.
DON'T YOU KNOW LOVE MAKES THE WORLD GO ROUND!

Love, can be such a groovy thing. A world of sweet fantasy.
Wea-awea. Pure ecstasy. Nanonehu-u-ha.
But when things go wrong, Nobody calls...
Sweet love, (Wea-awea) can make you with you were never born
(Nanonehu-u-ha).

LOVE IS PROFOUND, ANYWHERE IT CAN BE FOUND.
DON'T YOU KNOW LOVE MAKES THE WORLD GO ROUND!

listen! SUMMER SENSATION
©1989 Zoey Lynne and Diana Lynne
 
 

The sun is bright, a warm delight.
The surf is high, the sand is white.
Ice cream cones and Coppertone®...

Sailboats, sandcastle moats.
Tradewinds blow from coast to coast.
Gulls on guard in search of treasure...

SUMMER, SUMMER!
SUMMER SENSATION!
SUMMER, SUMMER!
SUMMER LIBATION!

The summer heat on Ocean Street.
Two piece suits, the lifeguard's treat.
Guys walk by and girls get high...

SUMMER, SUMMER!
SUMMER SENSATION!
SUMMER, SUMMER!
SUMMER TEMPTATION!

Fun and Games, the posterplanes.
Jack be quick -n- stake your claim.
Pretty shells and clanging bells...

SUMMER, SUMMERTIME IS HERE!
AND ALL YOUR TROUBLES DISAPPEAR!
SUMMER, SUMMERTIME IS HERE!
WE'RE GONNA HIT THE STRATOSPHERE! (GET HIGH!)

GHOSTS
©2001 Zoey Lynne and Diana Lynne
 
 

What insanity prevails,
When love that conquers all has failed?
I'm lost, I'm foolish,
I'm hopelessly useless...

I believe in secret devotion,
And the bunkers below the ocean;
(Where) honor is an outdated notion;
And truth became the deadliest potion.

Have you seen the beautiful faces,
Behind the weapons that never leave traces?
No one knows the places...
Only Ghosts remain.

I believe in New World Disorder,
Governments, guns and clandestine orders,
Currency traders, countries and borders;
Nameless people, blood in their mortar.

Careful of the man right behind you,
The one "they" sent to confuse and blind you.
No one ever finds you...
Only your Ghost remains.

CHANT
It's a secret, dark and dirty secret.
It's a secret, dark and dirty secret.
Don't reveal it; you mustn't speak it.
It's a secret, dark and dirty secret.
You mustn't speak it; you can't reveal it.
It's a secret, dark and dirty secret.

THE PEACE SONG
©2003 Zoey Lynne
 
 

Dedicated to the memory of my late aunt, Roberta. She lost her battle with breast cancer on Friday morning, March 8th, 2002

She was a deeply religious human being who cared about the well being of all those around her. She was a gentle soul. May she be at Peace.

This song was purposefully written with no words. The concept of Peace, I believe, is beyond words. It is my hope that this song will resonate with many around this world, regardless of their language, culture or religion, and fill all hearts with Peace.

With love to this world and all who inhabit it,

Zoey

SONG OF SERENGETI
©2004 Zoey Lynne and Diana Lynne
 
 

Serengeti,
Sing the song that's closest to my heart.

Serengeti,
Hear the song that lives within my soul.

Serengeti,
The only song at home inside my heart.

Serengeti,
The song that stirs a passion in my soul.

Serengeti,
It's simple beauty rings true in my heart.

Serengeti,
The only place on Earth to free my soul.

Chorus
See it -- hand in hand
Feel it -- heart to heart

Hear it -- sing the song
Know it -- from within

FUCHSIA
©1994 Zoey Lynne
 
 

A thought came to me in a whisper.
My fears went the way of the wind.
Suddenly, I found the courage to dream.

A flower of crimson,
As lovely as the dawn...

FUCHSIA -- Breath of life.
FUCHSIA

The rustle of leaves brought the answer,
That was hidden beneath all my doubts.
It's been here all along, deep inside me. Now it's free.

A flower of crimson,
As lovely as the dawn...

FUCHSIA -- Breath of life.
FUCHSIA

A delicate blossom brings comfort,
The words of no other will do.
Gently soothing my body and my soul.

A flower of crimson,
As haunting as the moon...

FUCHSIA -- Breath of life.

THE PHOENIX
© 1988 Zoey Lynne
 
 

I want to fly, like a little bird on a wing.
Higher than high, like a little bird I will sing...

Never to die, cheat the death that cometh so clever.
Bird of the Nile, like The Phoenix, live forever...

Live to become, ancient as the sands of the pyramids.
Legends be sung, like the Odyssey and the Iliad...

I'll be alive, longer than the oceans and rivers.
Bird of the Nile, like The Phoenix, live forever...

CHANT
Want to fly, higher than...
Live to be, ancient as...

I want to fly, like a little bird on a wing.
Higher than high, like a little bird I will sing...

I'll be alive, longer than the oceans and rivers.

MOMENT IN TIME
©2002 Zoey Lynne
 
 

Our ship came in,
But we missed the boat.
We had one chance...
Now it's gone forever.

I cried my tears,
But it's over now.
I let you go...
And I won't look back.

Time has gone by,
And I see things clearly.
I know it was right.
But sometimes I wonder...

How things might have been,
Had we stayed together.
I loved you once...
But, I won't look back.

Our lives are a
Moment In time,
And the memories we share
Are all that remain.

You and I shared a
Moment In Time,
And that time left it's mark
On my soul.

LOVE IS THE ONLY WAY TO FLY
©1985 Diana Lynne
 
 

For those who care to take a chance,
And brave the dangers of romance.
Even though the stakes are high,
Love Is The Only Way To Fly!

The ecstasy of love so rare,
Comes but once they say to those who dare.
And even though the stakes are high,
Love Is The Only Way To Fly!

Make up your mind! He who hesitates in love is lost.
Or you might find, (that) you don't get the chance to love at all.
Don't wait too long! Love may slip away while you procrastinate.
You must decide! Only you can be the master of your fate.

For those who care to take a chance,
And brave the dangers of romance.
And even though the stakes are high,
Love Is The Only Way To Fly, so high!

Make up your mind! He who hesitates in love is lost. (Don't hesitate, no
you can't wait!)
Or you might find, (that) you don't get the chance to love at all.
Don't wait too long! Love may slip away while you procrastinate. (When
destiny comes face to face!)
You must decide! Only you can be the master of your fate.

For those who care to take a chance,
And brave the dangers of romance.
And even though the stakes are high,
Love Is The Only Way To Fly!

You'll never know what love can be, (You'll never, know)
Unless you take the chance and see.
And even though the stakes are high,
Love Is The Only Way To Fly, so high, so high!
Love...

Come fly with me, so high, so high!
Take a chance. Take romance.
Come fly!

FOR EXACTLY WHO YOU ARE
©1988 Zoey Lynne
 
 

No one really knows me, yet they say they understand.
No one really cares, yet they still hold out their hand.
They'll look me in the eye and say, "Yeah, I've been through all that
before."
But, if they really knew the truth I'm sure, they would shut their door.

Why is it so hard to find,
A place to be yourself? (and)
Why is it so hard to be loved,
For Exactly Who You Are?

People will try to change you, with no good reason why.
Their subtle games and undercuts, give them such a high.
But, if you really look inside, you'll find (that) you will survive.
'Cause it doesn't really matter, just when you arrive.

Why is it so hard to find,
A place to be yourself? (and)
Why is it so hard to be loved,
For Exactly Who You Are?

MIRACLE
©2004 Diana Lynne and Zoey Lynne
 
 

Life is a mystery, (that) no one can explain...
It's beauty, it's joy and it's pain.
Show me the sun, the moon and the stars...
This is a Miracle to me.

Life is a riddle (that) there's no answer to...
(Who can) say what is real, what is true?
A mother's undying love, the first breath of life...
This is a Miracle to me.

Life is a puzzle that no one understands...
Where it begins, where it ends.
The splendor of oceans, (the) wind blowing through the trees...
Is truly a Miracle to me.

CHORUS (sung after each verse)

What is a Miracle?
And, how do we know when it's true for us?
What is a Miracle?
A signature of the Divine

SOMEDAY SOON
©1993 Zoey Lynne
 
 

Someday Soon, I'll be free...
A shadow smiles at me.
He takes my hand...
And gently leads me home.

A kiss of sunlight.
A taste of tears.

Someday Soon, I will find...
The dreams I've left behind.
The love I've known...
Is waiting just beyond.

A kiss of sunlight.
A taste of tears.

Someday Soon, I will know...
Behold the seeds I sow.
The bitter harvest,
Is my sweet reward.

A kiss of sunlight.
A taste of tears.

WRITINGS ON THE WALL
©1984 Diana Lynne
 
 

Everything is so routine,
The magic's gone for us it seems.
When I look into your eyes,
I see a stranger I don't recognize.
No longer can I hide,
The emptiness I feel inside.
I guess the Writings On The Wall.
There's no love here at all.

Our expectations were to high,
From a self-created hell, we couldn't hide.
Anger, disillusionment, despair,
Became too much for either one of us to bear.
There is no point in hanging on,
To faded dreams when love is gone.
In the cold light of reality,
The answer's all too plain to see.

Writings On The Wall,
There's no love. (No love!) No love here at all.
Writings On The Wall.
Writings On The Wall.
No love. (No love!) No love. (No love!)
No love here at all.
The Writings On the Wall.
