		LYRICS: MUSIC IN MY SOUL I wrote this song 25 years ago. Part of me knew, back in 1977, that music has transformative healing power. They said it was a holiday, but I wasn't having fun – My mind had drifted off again to where we used to run. Certain streets bring memories I'd rather not recall I'd rather sing all the music in my soul I'd rather sing all the music in my soul. CHORUS Everybody has some music in their soul It drives you when you're younger And calms you when you're old. New York City wintertime, the streets are cold and gray – I wish somebody needed me each and every day. But when someone finally notices, I can't find words to say I've got to sing all the music in my soul I've got to sing all the music in my soul. CHORUS Well, I think I know how hard it is to catch a falling dream And I'm learning that the choices made aren't always what they seem. I'm finding that the hardest part is learning to believe I've got to sing all the music in my soul I've got to sing all the music in my soul.

Kimmel, Sandessence Music (BMI) WELL BEING ABOUNDS (The Abraham Song) This song is based on the wisdom of a wonderful group of spiritual teachers who call themselves Abraham (www.abraham-hicks.com), and share a positive and powerful way of being in the world. CHORUS Well well well being abounds Well well well being abounds The sun comes up every morning The moon she wanes and waxes The earth still spins on an axis Which proves that the simple fact is: CHORUS Whatever your heart desires The thought propels into motion Vibration matches emotion And lights up this magic potion CHORUS The signs all point to awaken The outer layers are peeling The inner heart has been healing Let's sing it once more with feeling CHORUS Flowing freely, love surrounds and Well well well, well well well Well well well being abounds!

Kimmel, Sandessence Music (BMI) WHAT COLOR IS SPIRIT? Originally written by request to help unify a multi-racial group of congregations, after September 11, 2001, the song became a healing reminder that we're all made of the same sacred stuff. What color is spirit? The same color as air – It's the color of loving When all God's children share. What color is spirit? It's the color of day – It's the light of the morning It's the love when you pray. All it takes is faith and patience And a heart that is willing to feel love. What color is spirit? It's the color of light Shining deeply within you Through the dark of the night. What color is spirit? Water's that color, too. It's the color of me and It's the color of you. All it takes is faith and patience And a heart that is willing to feel love. What color is spirit? The same color as air – It's the color of loving When all God's children share.

Kimmel, Sandessence Music (BMI) ONE DAY AT A TIME I've been called a "chronicler of the inner journey," and this song fits that description. I wrote it to remind myself to trust the unfolding instead of trying to manage the process. And while there's sometimes pain and often uncertainty, my music and my faith help me see the bigger picture. CHORUS One day at a time Following my footsteps. One step at a time Following my dreams. One dream at a time The journey is unfolding Here before my eyes. Out here on a limb With no net except within I sing my deepest darkest fears away. CHORUS And I trust in the fullness of time To reveal all I need to know. It's faith when the going gets rough And the way goes so slow. CHORUS Moving through the pain Time and time again I let my music be the way I pray. And I trust in the fullness of time And believe that the way is clear. And its faith when I can't find the light And the shadows appear. CHORUS Music and lyrics by Sandi Kimmel Sandi Kimmel – vocals, guitar John Guth – acoustic and electric guitars, bass, percussion © 2001 S. Kimmel, Sandessence Music (BMI) EASIER ROAD This song is a reflection of a magical moment in time. My wonderful collaboration with Beddy Sinkoff realized it into being. It was an unbelievable sunset Painted on an autumn sky. I felt Your presence everywhere – So real it made me cry. I feel Your spirit running through me By the light of the crescent moon. I hear Your voice in every breeze, A sweet and peaceful tune. CHORUS It's an easier road knowing You're always with me An easier road knowing I have Your love Every day I pray, Every mile is paved with miracles this way. An easier road, an easier road. Now in the stillness of the morning And the darkness of the night I know the road before me's safe And the future's looking bright. All my questions have an answer And the answer's always "YES!" I found the way to feel it all Is believing I am blessed.

Kimmel & B. Sinkoff, Sandessence Music (BMI) WHEN I WAS AN INDIAN One early morning walk, I carefully placed pinecones on the fresh wounds of newly felled trees. Strangely, I felt much better. I wondered why. A voice bubbled up inside that said, "When you were an Indian, you used to do many things like that." I asked what else I did as an Indian, and the answer was singing to me by the end of my walk. When I was an Indian I lived on the land Cooking my food, making clothing by hand. And I loved every moment that nature had planned. Way-hey, a-ho, way-hey, a-ho When I was an Indian I knew how to pray Simply by being myself everyday. And I listened to what all the birds had to say. Way-hey, a-ho, way-hey, a-ho And I walked the Red Road with all my relations Honoring all I could see. Praying for peace for the Indian Nations Let me and my brothers and sisters live free. When I was an Indian I didn't know fear I flew like an eagle and ran like a deer. All the mountains stood proud and the rivers ran clear. Way-hey, a-ho, way-hey, a-ho When I was an Indian I couldn't explain Why all the buffalo had to be slain. And my tears flowed as one with the warm summer rain. Way-hey, a-ho, way-hey, a-ho And I walked the Red Road with all my relations Honoring all I could see. Praying for peace for the Indian Nations Let me and my brothers and sisters live free When I was an Indian Spirit came through – I didn't say much but my words were all true. And I speak the truth now, you were Indians, too. Way-hey, a-ho, way-hey, a-ho Music and lyrics by Sandi Kimmel Sandi Kimmel – vocal, guitar John Guth – guitars, bass, percussion © 1997 S. Kimmel, Sandessence Music (BMI) OUR SONG I spent many years alone on my journey, always certain I would meet my life partner at the right moment. I'm happy to say it's the right moment. I've been waiting for a long, long time To feel the way I feel today. Something happened when your heart met mine The two as one Love has begun. CHORUS How the Universe Reverberates with song – Oh, it makes my heart glad You sing along! Breathing in each other's open space So much to share Even the air. Hand in hand, we watch our dreams unfold And what we see Is what will be. CHORUS And if ancient shadows flicker We can both turn toward the light, Keeping sacred all the secrets That we share into the night. Merged and melted like a sterling heart, This love with you Is deep and true. Now forever isn't long enough To feel the way We feel today. CHORUS Music and lyrics by Sandi Kimmel Sandi Kimmel – vocals, guitar John Guth – guitars, bass, percussion © 2001 S. Kimmel, Sandessence Music (BMI) HEAVENLY UNION I wrote this as an anniversary song for two friends of mine. With a few minor changes, it became a love song for all lovers, for all kinds of anniversaries. So many days So many moments shared So much of you In everything I do You make my life come true So many miles So many country roads So much to do Sharing everything with you Keeps the world forever new Being together, forever in love This heavenly union's a gift from above So many words So much I want to say Where do I start? From the bottom of my heart Loving you is the best part Being together, forever in love This heavenly union's a gift from above So many days So many moments shared So much of you In everything I do You make my life come true Music and lyrics by Sandi Kimmel Sandi Kimmel – vocal, guitar John Guth – bass, percussion © 2000 S. Kimmel, Sandessence Music (BMI) ANGELS ARE DANCING This song is dedicated to two earth angels in my life: John Sackett, who first whispered the words "Angels are dancing" to me, and Mary Ellen Angelscribe, (www.angelscribe.com), who opened the door to love in my life in so many ways. Co-written with Beddy Sinkoff, this song proves that it is indeed possible to work and play at the same time! Always there, everywhere Listening to every prayer… Angels are dancing rainbows round the sun Spinning their magic, blessing everyone! Angels are dancing, you can feel it, too – Angels are dancing love to you. Angels are smiling wanting us to see We are all spirits longing to be free! Angels are smiling, you can see it, too – Angels are smiling love to you. Angels are singing, listen to the breeze Heavenly voices harmonize with ease. Angels are singing, you can hear it, too – Angels are singing love to you. Always there, everywhere Listening to every prayer Feel the love in their care Heart and soul.

Kimmel & B. Sinkoff, Sandessence Music (BMI) ON THE OTHER SIDE When I take my music to the bedside of a hospice patient, I know our brief but deep connection is both limited and eternal. This song expresses a whole range of feelings, to help me work my way through these sacred experiences. It isn't for any one person, it's for all of them. Seasons come, where do they go? First the sun and then the snow. Why is it so hard letting go? Will I feel you on the other side? Journey well, my dear old friend – Feel my love right through the end. There's a light around the bend Where I'll see you on the other side. The moments just after sunrise When the day is fresh and new – I think of you And that's all I want to do. You were here, and now you're gone Leaving me to carry on. Some days I just can't go on Then I feel you on the other side. A butterfly at my window Or I hear our favorite song – I sing along With the feel of you so strong. Seasons come, where do they go? First the sun and then the snow. Though it's still so hard letting go I can feel you on the other side Oh, yes I feel you on the other side Oh, how I feel you on the other side. Music and lyrics by Sandi Kimmel Sandi Kimmel – vocal, guitar John Guth – piano, bass © 2000 S. Kimmel, Sandessence Music (BMI) IT'S ABOUT JOY Co-writer Beddy Sinkoff and I were headed home from a music workshop one evening, filled with excitement and optimism. We had what can only be described as a peak experience, and the mystery of how the Universe works came into focus. This song was born in that alchemical moment. Letting go of yesterday, I wake up from the dreams – Nothing's ever as it was – or so it seems. So I focus on the moment For what it is and where I am. There's no time like the present For believing that I can! CHORUS: It's about joy, it's about love It's about faith and trust and guidance sent from above. How can I be sad when it's You I'm thinking of? It's about joy, joy, joy, it's about love, it's about love. Tomorrow's full of promises I'm not allowed to know – How the future will unfold, or where I'll go. So I focus on the moment For what it is and where I am. There's no time like the present For believing that I can! CHORUS: Written by Sandi Kimmel and Beddy Sinkoff Sandi Kimmel – vocal John Guth – guitars, bass, harmony vocal Beddy Sinkoff – piano, harmony vocal Lisa Lipkin Werbin – harmony vocal © 1995 S. Kimmel & B. Sinkoff, Sandessence Music (BMI) ALL THERE IS My friend, Kadar Weyrick, sent me these lyrics that came to him during a meditation. As soon as I read them, I sat down with my guitar and the music wrote itself. There's no Tower of Babel when the language is love. It's all there is. What can I call You, God, today? What do all religions say? Telling in so many ways to call You All there is is love To call You All there is is love To call You All there is is love To call You I call you love! What do You call me, God, today? What do all religions say? Calling in so many ways You call me All there is is love You call me (3x) You call me love! What will You teach me, God, today? What do all religions say? Teaching in so many ways You teach me All there is is love You teach me (3x) You teach me love! Where will I find You, God, today? What do all religions say? You appear so many ways To give your love All there is is love You give it 3X You give Your love! All there is is love I feel it 3X I feel Your love! All there is is love, all there is is love Music and lyrics by Sandi Kimmel and Robert Kadar Weyrick Vocal arrangement by Lisa Lipkin Werbin Sandi Kimmel – vocal, guitar John Guth – guitars, bass, percussion With Spirit Sing (Laurie Brown, Christine Delaney Pepe, Rachel Seliber, Lisa Lipkin Werbin) – harmony vocals © 2002 S. Kimmel & R. Weyrick, Sandessence Music (BMI) UNSEEN BLESSINGS Someone once told me that singing your prayers is like praying twice. This is my morning prayer and evening lullaby. My highest joy is in expressing gratitude and love, morning and night. Thank you for the day before me And the one behind. I believe you do adore me Body, soul and mind. Thank you for a thousand things Each and every day. Thank you for the unseen blessings Already on their way.
