Lyrics & Links to the original episodes for the songs in this ribbon.

by Heather Houston

Easy does it now

Slow it down

Feel the sound

As you breathe, sing, freely now

Tune, croon, swoon…

97. Settle Like A Pebble

by Laura Walker

Settle, settle like a pebble.

Settle like a pebble on a riverbed.

Drift like a feather on a stream.

You can travel with the flow, if you just let go,

and close your eyes and be.

Drift, and settle gently.

You can travel with the flow, if you just let go.

The water flow will wash you clean.

109. This Is It

by Maggie Wheeler

This is it.

This is it!

This is the place you wanna be (x2)

Don't wait until tomorrow to let yourself be free

This is it

This is the place you wanna be

2. This is the song you wanna sing

Don't wait until tomorrow to let your voices ring

3. This is the love you wanna feel

Don't wait until tomorrow to let your love be real

4. The world is calling out to you

Don't wait until tomorrow for what you came to do

125. Dahil Mahal Kita

by Gérone Pascal

Dahil mahal kita

dahil mahal na mahal kita

dahil mahal kita

ibibigay ko ang lahat

Because I love you so much,

Because I love you so much, so much, so much

Because I Iove you so much,

I give you all of my heart.

165. Heaven Above, Earth Below

by Becky Graber

Heaven above, Earth below,

And I the path between,

Making my way through fields of ever rolling green,

Making my way through fields of ever rolling green.

Heaven above, Earth below,

And in between am I,

Finding a path with heart and spirit, earth and sky,

Finding a path with heart and spirit, earth and sky.

Ah dah dah, ah dah dah, ah dah dah dah.

Ah dah dah, ah dah dah, ah dah dah, Ah.

Heaven above, Earth below,

And I the two reveal,

Shining through me the light of Spirit that can heal,

Shining through me the light of Spirit that can heal.

Heaven above, Earth below,

And I the path between.

200. Don't Give Up

by Becky Reardon

Don't give up; give a little kindness to yourself.

Put a little flex -- put a little flex in your plan.

Find another way -- like a river!

Flow -- may you never stop flowing.
