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

28. Drifting Dark

by Patricia Norton

Drifting dark, cold and spark,

floating dream, holiday scene.

I know this world keeps on turning,

spinning songs of hearts in yearning.

Dark.  Spark.  

Dream.  Scene.

World.  Turning.

Spinning candescent, spinning candescent,

spinning hearts in yearning.

199. The Turtle Remembers

by Becky Reardon

The Turtle remembers 

a dream in December,

alone with God.

Alone with songs of the whales,

returning, returning.

189. Hearth

by Yuri Woodstock

Fire at the center in my heart

Rise of the night spark fly away

Smoke twines together in the sky

Oh how the dark times light my way

Fire in my heart

Praise be to the dark

Dreaming in an endless night

Living in an endless dream

120. Alchemy

by Te Martin

Everything is helping you

grow and thrive;

know what you need to know.

It is not too late,

it is not too late to follow

(3x)

your dreams.

Dream!

62. Let Me Be The Love

by Karly Loveling

Doing my best to be the Love

my deepest heart is dreaming of.

With every breath I take,

Let me be the Love

Letting my cup overflow
