If you want to live life free
If you want your dream to be
Build it slow and surely
Small beginnings greater ends
Heart felt work go purely.
If you want to live life free
Take your time go slowly
Do few things but do them well
Simple joys are holy.
Day by day, stone by stone
Build your secrets slowly
Day by day, you’ll grow too
You’ll know heavens glory.

Brother Sun, Sister Moon
Mother Earth a home for all sentient beings
Brother Wind blows the clouds from the sky
Sister Water quenches the parched ground
Brother Fire lights the Way Call me a New Ager
This is how I started following
Brother Sun, Sister Moon

And Sister Moon
I seldom see you
Seldom hear your tune
Preoccupied
With selfish misery Brother Wind
And Sister Air
Open my eyes
To visions pure and fair
That I may see
The glory around me I am God’s creature
Of him I am part
I feel his love
Awakening my heart Brother Sun
And Sister Moon
I now do see you
I can hear your tune
So much in love
With all that I survey I am God’s creature
Of him I am part
I feel his love
Awakening my heart Brother Sun
And Sister Moon
I now do see you
I can hear your tune
So much in love
With all that I survey
Music and lyrics by Donovan P. Leitch.
One Love, One Heart
Peace be with you. Seeker
