Faith of the Heart
It's been a
long road
Getting from there to here,
It's been a long time
But my time is finally near.
And I can feel the change in the wind right now.
Nothing's in my way.
And they're not gonna hold me down no more,
No they're not gonna hold me down.
'Cause I've got faith of the heart.
I'm going where my heart will take me.
I've got faith to believe
I can do anything!
I've got strength of the soul
And no one's gonna bend or break me.
I can reach any star.
I've got faith, I've got faith, faith of the heart!
It's been a long night,
Trying to find my way.
Been through the darkness
Now I've finally had my day.
And I will see my dream come alive at last.
I will touch the sky!
And they're not gonna hold me down no more.
No they're not gonna change my mind.
'Cause I've got faith of the heart.
I'm going where my heart will take me.
I've got faith to believe
I can do anything!
I've got strength of the soul,
And no one's gonna bend or break me.
I can reach any star.
I've got faith, I've got faith, faith of the heart!
I know that we're so cold,
We've seen the darkest days.
But now the winds I feel
Are only winds of change.
I've been through the fire,
I've been through the rain
But I'll be flying, oh yeah.
'Cause I've got faith of the heart.
I'm going where my heart will take me.
I've got faith to believe
I can do anything!
I've got strength of the soul,
And no one's gonna bend or break me.
I can reach any star.
I've got faith, I've got faith, faith of the heart!

Our deepest fear is not that we are
inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful
beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness, that
most frightens us.
We ask ourselves, who am I to be
brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous?
Actually, who are you not
to be?
You are a child of God.
Your playing small doesn't serve the
world.
There is nothing enlightened about
shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you.
We were born to make manifest the glory
of God within us.
It's not just in some of us; it's
in everyone.
And as we let our own light shine, we
unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our fear, our
presence automatically liberates others.

Ready to Fly
I've been trying to open the door
To the secret of my destiny.
And every new road I think is the one
Seems to lead right back to me.
I've looked for a way to be wiser,
A way to be strong.
Now I see the answer was hiding
In me all along.
And I'm ready to fly
Over the sun
Like a rocket to heaven!
And I'm ready to soar
Right through the sky.
Never dreamed I'd find something to lift me so high.
I've always had wings
But I wasn't ready to fly.
Restless, hopeless, and misunderstood,
Like so many others I know.
So busy tryin' to keep holdin' on
When I should've been letting go.
I was given the gift to find it,
The spirit inside me.
But I never really imagined
All I could be.
And I'm ready to fly
Over the sun
Like a rocket to heaven!
And I'm ready to soar
Right through the sky.
Never dreamed I'd find something to lift me so high.
I've always had wings
But I wasn't ready to fly.
The answer to all of my wonder
Was right in my hands.
Now it's time for me to discover
All that I am.
And I'm ready to fly
Over the sun,
Like a rocket to heaven!
And I'm ready to soar
Right through the sky.
Never dreamed I'd find something to lift me so high.
I've always had wings
But I wasn't ready to fly.
I've always had wings
Now I'm finally ready to fly.
