    (A Review of the Title Track):

    WOW! Classic George Wallace for the Modern Era! I LOVE it!

    It’s hard to imagine a 5-minute-plus track going by in the blink of an eye. I just had listen to it again. And again. And again.

    So much wonderful magic to absorb. This is real music from a real artist with something to say!

    God, it’s refreshing.

    Mitch Goldfarb, Independent Producer/Engineer, Studio Owner in southeast PA

Believing Mirror If you believe it Then you can live it And if you’re feeling this is all just a dream Wake up - it’s your dream coming true You were the question You’re now the answer Beautiful Dancer, Take the chance of your life The marquee’s up in lights All for you There’s a trace in the mirror Face becoming clearer Tears no longer Knowing, growing stronger now… I am your believing mirror Look into my eyes and see And you’re my believing mirror Where I can finally see the real me You are The Child You are The Lover Still there’s another Down inside, don’t you know? A Shaman who’s running the show Could you imagine You’re made of magic? It’s some kind of tragic How we stay so afraid Of the miracle from which we’re made You don’t have to hide it Go ahead and shine it Dumb it down and play small, or Claim your crown and play ball now… I am your believing mirror Look into my eyes and see And you’re my believing mirror So glad that you believe in Beautiful you Beautiful me We got the Power Right here inside us Not just in you or me It’s in everyone Since the 11:11 has come There’s a man in the mirror Face is getting clearer Fears no longer Soul is so much stronger The weight is getting lighter Days are shining brighter Look there in the mirror You’ll see what you’re here for now… I am your believing mirror Look deep in my eyes you’ll see And you’re my believing mirror I look and I discover the real me We are all believing mirrors (When you believe it then you can live it) We are all believing mirrors (You have the power right there inside you) All believing mirrors All believing mirrors Music & lyrics by George Wallace © 2019 Celestial Songs (ASCAP)

Real Friend 05:02
Before the spell of you and I I had all the fun that money could buy But I never found a safe place to cry Like a real friend Out in the cold, only half of myself Nobody wanted the lonely I felt Then you came to me as my other self Like a real friend, just like a real friend Like a real friend you’re there for me Just like a real friend ooh you bear my troubles for me Like a real friend, just like a real friend, like a real friend You’re the other one of Us, Aquarius We play together on the merry-go-round And find each other in the lost-and-found And wander away, ending up on common ground …Real friends A change of heart brings a change of mind But ours beat forever in synchronized time Birds of a rare feather flying blind Just like real friends…just like real good friends Like a real friend you’re there for me Just like a real friend ooh you bear my troubles for me Like a real friend, just like a real friend, like a real friend You’re the other half of Us, Aquarius Ooh, you cover for me… Like a real friend you cover me Just like a real friend ooh you bear this troubled water for me Like a real friend, just like a real friend, and like a real friend …you know I’ll cover for you Music & Lyrics by George Wallace & Amy Bolton ©1983, 2017 Celestial Songs (ASCAP)

Don’t gimme that about the UFOs And don’t try and say your stupid magazine knows Don’t gimme no science fiction Just gimme a break Hey goody-two-shoes, you think you’re so great It figures you’d crack up your Vega like that And go tradin’ it in for a Yugo Gimme a break Wandering wasted through the mall Hosers, posers, pissants all Singin’ gimme a break, gimme a break Gimme a break Can you tell, is this the Big Time? Have I got it made? Singing my songs in this penny arcade? Makin’ love-eyes with the barflies Gimme a break Here in the New Jerusalem You’re either one of us, or one of them Either way, it’s ‘gimme a break, gimme a break…’ I’m relaxing in style on a king’s holiday The cell finally died and my mind ran away So don’t gimme no aggravation On my Bermuda vacation Just gimme a break No pop culture teen sensations Anesthetizing entire nations Just gimme a break No cable-TV masturbation No ‘alternate-facts’ Fox fiction Just gimme a break Gimme a break, gimme a break, yeah yeah yeah You gotta be kidding me An illusion of truth Adrift on the tide of a cartoon sea You gotta be kidding me Music & lyrics by George Wallace, © 2020 Celestial Songs (ASCAP)

Aqua Vitae 07:17
Welcome Brittany from inside the sea Smiling wild, emerald eyes From Atlantis’ shore she arrives once more Checking in with terrestrial ties Aqua vitae, water of life Aqua vitae Someday she will be born Out of the Aqua vitae, water of life Aqua vitae someday she’ll be reborn… …out of Aquarius, touching down for a while Beaming in from Blue Paradise She’s a pretty secret with a salty smile A Mona Lisa child Hiding just off the edge of life Just this side of the Other Side Aqua vitae, water of life, sweet Brittany Aqua vitae Someday she will be born Out of the Aqua vitae, water of life, dear Brittany Aqua vitae any day she will come… Right out of the Aqua Vitae Little One come, see the children play Aqua Vitae Aqua vitae Little One’s gonna be one of them someday Any day now I wander down to the shrine near the oceanside By the Holy Waterfall There she pulls me under on a rising tide I delight in Britannia’s call All past-present-future is the same, you see… Here is a fortune I can tell Soon arriving, alive, O delicious mystery Soon I shall know her Water well Sail on Little One, sail on Aqua vitae, water of life, sweet Brittany Aqua vitae Someday she will be born Out of the Aqua vitae, water of life Hail Britannia Aqua vitae someday she will come Right out of the Aqua Vitae Aqua Vitae Welcome Brittany from inside the sea With the wild emerald eyes… …to the Daughter that Almost Was Music & Lyrics by George Wallace © 2020 Celestial Songs (ASCAP)

I am that, thou art that and all this is that I am that, thou art that, all this is that I am that, thou art that, all this is that This is that, ooh Daybreak and I take a glide Into the pool of peace inside Two waves and I, both travel by Life supporting waves of bliss Mother Divine's precious kiss Brings with love the light of wisdom And the gift of eternal freedom To waves and I, both travel by And that makes all the difference to me All this is that I am that, thou art that, all this is that I am that, thou art that, all this is that This is that, ooh Dusk time, the shadows fall Into the timeless time of all Two waves and I, both travel by Golden auras glow around you Omnipresent love surrounds you Wisdom warming as the sun You and I are truly one Two waves and I, both travel by And that makes all the difference to me I am that, thou art that, all this is that I am that, thou art that, all this is that I am that, thou art that, all this is that Jai Guru dev, Jai Guru dev Jai Guru dev, Jai Guru dev Music and lyrics by Carl Wilson/Al Jardine/Mike Love Published by Wixen Music Publishing o/b/o Wilojarston Music

I am wild I am imagination I am the I Am In the image of second sight I am created Not thoughts, but between thoughts I live beneath your reasoning The lords of logic and thinking Have no dominion here My spirit soars the heights, at last released I hold the keys to kingdoms Far above this surface mind… lea su lea sa ma ka la sa kala se jire jire mokulu To know what is beyond knowing To see far past what I can with sight To live long after this lifetime I wonder if I’ll ever get that right… Soul-sailing, free flying Away playing, never-ending I’m going soul-sailing, dream-diving Shape-shifting, soul ascending And I know Yes I know that I know There’s a way to do it all right Yes I know that I know that I know I’ll find a way back to it all right Let’s run laughing up the pagan mountain And fall to our knees by the wisdom tree And dance on down to the place called Eden That’s where I know the knowing will be imagine the magic in the image imagination of the magi in the I Am… To know beyond believing To feel what seems ‘not there’ To re-invent myself right out of thin air To trust outside life’s illusion To breathe without my breath I must ask at last the question …Is this not…death? But in the end comes the revelation Of all that hasn’t shown And in that celebration We’ll know more than we’ve ever known We’re going… Soul-sailing, free flying Away playing, never-ending I’m going soul-sailing, dream-diving Shape-shifting, recreating, oh yeah And I know Yes I know that I know There’s a way to do it all right Yes I know that I know that I know I’ll find a road back to it all right Yes we’ll know that we know that we know There’s a way up to it all right lea su lea sa ma ka la sa kala se jire jire mokulu And so it is We’re going soul-sailing, free flying Child-playing, never ending Soul-mating, soul calling Time travelling, we’re free- falling Soul-sailing, unending Shape-shifting, soul ascending And so it is Music & lyrics by George Wallace (c) 2020 Celestial Songs (ASCAP)

A Salvation Army band played And the children drank lemonade And the morning lasted all day, All day And through an open window came Like Sinatra in a younger day Pushing the town away, away on… Ah hey-o ma ma ma may de ‘n na - ya hey-o ma ma ma, Hey - ey - ya Life in a northern town. A – hey ma ma ma ma… They sat on the stony ground And he took a cigarette out And everyone else came down To listen. He said "In winter of ‘63 [as my own father passed away] It felt like the world would freeze [ as the whole world went cold and gray] ’With John F. Kennedy And then the Beatles..." Ah hey-o ma ma ma may de ‘n na - ya hey-o ma ma ma, Hey – ey - ya Life in a northern town. A – hey ma ma ma ma… Ah hey-o ma ma ma may de ‘n na - ya hey-o ma ma ma, Hey – ey - ya And all of the world shut down A – hey ma ma ma ma… The evening had turned to rain Watch the water roll down the drain, As we followed him all the way down To the station And though he never did wave goodbye, You could see it written in his eyes As the train rolled out of sight… Bye – bye – good bye… Ah hey-o ma ma ma may de ‘n na - ya hey-o ma ma ma Hey – ey - ya Life in a northern town A – hey ma ma ma ma… Make it easy on yourself…you can’t be anybody else Music and lyrics by Nick Laird-Clowes and Gilbert Gabriel © EMI Blackwood Music Inc. o/b/o EMI Music Publishing, Ltd. and WB Music Corp. o/b/o Warner/Chappell Music Ltd

Lucky Day 02:07
It’s a brand-new morning, rise & shine Turn on your daylights, it’s wake-up time Are you feeling alive, are ya ready to win? Well guess what baby, your ship has just come in… This is your Lucky Day get up look around you, the fortunes have found you It’s your Lucky Day (Your fun-in-the-sun day) And I’m lucky too, because I get to spend it with you There’s a miracle waiting and it’s heading your way You can jump up and catch it or you can just walk away Might as well take your place, then you can take me too We’ll go riding shotgun-style into the wild across a sky of blue This is your Lucky Day Right in front of your nose is a big bed of roses It’s your Lucky Day (Your fun-in-the-sun day) And I’m lucky too because I get to spend it with you It’s gonna be a Lucky Day Wake up look around you, good fortune has found you It’s your Lucky Day (Your fun-in-the-sun day) And I got lucky ‘cause I get to spend it with you… Music & Lyrics by George Wallace © 2020 Celestial Songs (ASCAP)
