Lyrics & Links to the original episodes for the songs in this ribbon.
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.
by Becky Reardon
The Turtle remembers
a dream in December,
alone with God.
Alone with songs of the whales,
returning, returning.
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
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!
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
