1. From One to Another [lyrics]
How beautiful it was
Waves passed down from a mother
How beautiful it was
Like a ghost in a house so blue
How the hell did they know it was you?
As the snow fell through the night
I'll sing my father's tune
While wearing his father's shoes
And the snow won't stop
From one to another
How long till I go?
A rose at your mother
Much closer than before
Like a call in the middle of the night
What better time to make things right
As the snow fell to the waking sun
I'll tell my father's lie
Just hoping that I'll hear you cry
And the snow stopped and it was done

And all you found
Was something in the eyes
Someone that you failed to recognize

From one to another
How beautiful you are
Waves passed down from your mother
How beautiful you are
Little hands in a house so bright
A hundred candles in the middle of the night
And the snow fell to the setting sun

2. Sacred Place [lyrics]
In the heart of a sacred place
You look as though you belong as you make your way
Bless your lucky stars girl, you've got God in your eyes
Around your shawl how you clasp your hands
They tell a story bout a girl in her home land
She looks so beautiful as she covers the hair on her head

Gold tops the temple but she's all I see
As she bowed her head God spoke to me
He said she belonged to me
But I give you her hand

As the sky faded her eyes fixed their gaze
On a boy about her age appeared in a daze
Bless his lucky stars
He had her in his eyes
He made his way closer and she never looked back
Their mother stood watching as the sky turned black
Out came a star for them and the God in their lives

3. The Sky is Cracking [lyrics]
I just stepped outside to see what the rain was doing
I didn't know, it would be falling
Blood and scars, moon and stars, cats and dogs and all this way
Come quick and see the sky now! It's cracking!

4. Raven [lyrics]
Oh, the raven in my dreams, he toil and spin
Oh, the raven in my dreams, he was clothe in snake skin
Oh, the water was cold
He went up to the sky and came down bright white
In me he was well pleased

Oh, there's a dove in my life
How strong is your love? She asks as she hands me the cross I gave her
Oh, the water on my eyes
He was clothe in her skin
Oh, the thorns I have bore
With sword in hand, blue robes to war

5. But All I Know is This [lyrics]
Draining the color I carry on my shoulder
Today is her day, I won't ask your name, until I'm back to my lonesome again
From a distance we gather around love
Now into oneness, but I miss myself when I see old days and mischief
Now I drink to memories, tastes of halls and classrooms, the earth takes me back, our bread for tomorrow
There is your heart also, but all I know is your voice
We consider the lilies how they toil and spin
The human condition
Oh how our souls shine out, so I know you, so it becomes
How strong is your love? She asks as she hands me the cross I gave her
For everyone that is blind there is one who looks promised
To be coughed up on shore, a reminder of his will
But you came out crying
Where do I belong?
What is my concern?
I should have been stronger because it's in me but it does not show
All this time I have been holding back tears
But today I saw her crying

7. Butterfly [lyrics]
I'm not awake, I'm half asleep
But I know I'll stay here, until the morning breaks
If you stay near
We'll make our lonesome feelings disappear
Out past the stars
But when they find us there they might want to know
Why we say we don't care
We'll just point to the horizon and stare
Never say what's coming but we know it's due

Now that the light has come out of hiding
We are out of sight
Under our covers praying that tonight
They'll stop the fighting we can go out and play

Float young butterfly
Over seas of red grass

We're not awake, we're all asleep
And we know we'll stay here until the morning breaks
If they stay near, that'll make our lonesome feelings disappear
Out past the stars, but when they find us there
They might want to know why we said we didn't care
We'll just point to our lonely hearts and stare
Never say what's coming but we know it's due

8. To Find Something Sacred [lyrics]
I know our time is short
Oh, and when it ends
No one knows the hour or day
That our stars will fall away
We'll leave everything behind
But if I lose my way
Will you stop and turn an ear
Listen to the sounds of a day and a year
Will not wave goodbye
Will not surely smile
Look at how you pass me by
Look at how we lost our time

To find something sacred
Lost are the days that would
Falling into wanting
Lost are the days that would

The nurse pulls our curtains back
Oh, then how she fades
Awake in my true love's grace
Pale light shining on her face
I left you behind
You don't lose your way
Will you stop and turn an ear
Listen to the sounds of a day and a year

9. Two Skies (Boots of Spanish Leather) [lyrics]
Oh I'm sailing away, my own true love
I'm sailing away in the morning
Is there something I can send you from across the sea?
From the place that I'll be landing
There's nothing you can send me my own true love
There's nothing that I wish to be ownin'
Just carry yourself back to me unspoiled
From across that lonesome ocean
(Bob Dylan)

I've forgotten beautiful
As I pace listening to an unfound girl
The candle is lit and burning slow
Oh, how I worry it will lose its glow
Who is it that has given me these gifts?
All placed at my sides
She must live in a lovely place
Where she sings unbothered
As I'm reckless but not lonesome, never complete
I hope tonight her voice bounds through my ears
And echoes in my dreams
Two skies burn in my heart
While one sleeps the other sings
She waits for me like summer
I see winter fading
Oh how I waited
I see winter fading

10. Jasmine [lyrics]
I drew a line to your eyes, I saw you sparkle, saw you shine
I drew a line to your heart, I saw you do your part
We don't know the future

Are you awake and dying to know?

We curl ourselves up into balls
Look up from your hands
These clouds are for you
So dance for romance

So let there be light in your life
Let it bounce off the walls and into your eyes
So you chase your dreams
With light and rest
With a gentle heart you'll pass this test

We don't know the future
But we all have dreams
I'll see you on the screen Jasmine

11. Black Police [lyrics]
Tonight I feel the wind
It's only a name and it's restless
It gathers us up like a church
I don't know why we don't trust it
And those who try don't gather
Pretending to be nothing
And with my head down, I saw the front

Circles cut with lines
So many signs

Oh you black police, take all I have
You start your fires burn all the debts
Hold your shoots that we will rise again

The movement never came
But was plain to the eye as day
Stray clouds and a flame
And what might have been
From things that happened in the past
To the things that came again
Unwelcome guests in a frame of mind
That should have left on sacred days

12. Red Ribbon [lyrics]
(Contains a kaffi by Baba Bulleh Shah)

A red ribbon sits in the sun
Contemplating what's done
Her head rests in her hands
Combing the sky for signs
Of the God she knows
Allah, she sighs, and whispers
Those sad violet sheets over head
Carry the past to the end
Into a sun burning red

Pamein jan nah jan ve
Vedde ahveh mere
Mein tere qurban veh
Veddeh ahveh mere
Tere jeha menu hor nah koi
Doondan sheheran bella roee
Doondan tan sara jahan veh
Vedde ahve mere

A red ribbon sits under clouds
Contemplating the hour
His heart rests in her hands

Pamein jan nah jan ve
Vedde ahveh mere
Mein tere qurban veh
Veddeh ahveh mere
Tere jeha menu hor nah koi
Doondan sheheran bella roee
Doondan tan sara jahan veh
Vedde ahve mere
Lokan deh pane chak maheen dah
Ranja tan lokan vich kaheeda
Sada tan deen iman ve
Vedde ahve mere
Mah pe shod lagee lad tere
Shah Inayat saeen mere
Layan dee lajpal ve
Tere jeha menu hor nah koi

13. This is Our Precious Time [lyrics]
Explain to me this sadness
Until I find my love for you again
You've gone so far ahead
High above this old ground
From where we all fall into place
Remember where you left me, in my place
If the sun don't burn tomorrow
If it wasn't for this pain
Well these soft whispers won't do for me
They just won't do for me

Today I found a reason
When I climbed out of bed
I felt it in my heart, I felt it in my hands
If the stars don't burn tomorrow
If it wasn't for this love
Then these soft whispers
Are what I say for you

Dashed your foot against a stone
Covered a shroud over these bones
This was our precious time
So slow down in passing

ARSH KHAIRA

WE ALL HEAR FORGIVENESS
