Flower Power

Verse 1
Love is magic, it’s not mundane
It lights the candle, that lights a flame
In darkness, not cast alone
Ordinary people, extraordinary gain.

Chorus
I will breathe out love
Let it travel, let it be
A whisper across the sea
For someone to believe

Verse2
All the cards held high in power
what can we do, is the refrain
power is in perception
Love endures, that’s the game.

Chorus
I will breathe out love
Let it travel, let it be
A whisper across the sea
For someone to believe

Verse 3
Sense the movement, through the still
The super strength of quiet will
Anger focused, breathe love in
whisper to others, there’s the win.


Bridge
Seasons of love, not summer of war
new hippie groove without the score
Peace and love, to hunger for
Flowers, greedy for a different more

Last Chorus
We will breathe out love
Let it travel, let it be
A whisper across the sea
For someone to believe

In love,
Believe in love,
Believe in love
Believe in Love.

JOY

Verse 1
A Joyous Humbug, cynics all
This Christmas, let your guard fall
ghostly reminders, just lean into
feel the joyful vibe come through


Chorus
Come on, get your Joy on
Your upside down frown on
Get that Christmas time on
Come, Enjoy the Joy

Verse 2
No Blah Blahs, or whatever’s, please
negativity, is just a tease
Those Christmas gifts, are joy shared
In that thought, your heart’s repaired


Chorus
Come on, Get your Joy on
Your upside down frown on
Get that Christmas time on,
Come, Enjoy the Joy


Verse 3
Carols, candles, reindeer bells
Star and stable, the first nowell
Time of wonder, full of light
Come on then, with Joy unite

Chorus
Come on, get your Joy on
Your upside down frown on
Get that Christmas time on
Come, Enjoy the Joy

Bridge
There’s love, singing from the radio
Sweet movies, set in falling snow
Christmas feasting, turkey, pudding
Hardest hearts see Joy intruding

Chorus
Come on, get your Joy on
Your upside down frown on
Get that Christmas time on
Come, Enjoy the Joy!

Lyric Sheena Hope

Verse 1
I’m sitting on the fence, I don’t have a view
I’m climbing down, when my mind follows through
I’m burning with shame, as glory it’s reflected
I’m hugging my heart to feel reconnected



Chorus
Forgiveness, like revenge, tastes better with time
The side I’ll come down on, the decisions mine.
you’re over the fence, I hope it is green
If the colour fades, don’t bother to climb.

Verse 2
I’m raising a smile to burn through the fog
I’m hearing the last from my groundhog
I’m deciding it’s time I lifted a flag
To start my life without your hashtag


Verse 3
I’m liberating myself, unraveling threads
Entanglement theory, crushed in a bed
I’m smelling a place, a green, green space
I’m accepting reality, I hope with grace


Bridge
I’m allowing forgiveness lots of free reign
I’m denying revenge, it causes pain
Thanks for forcing me over that fence
I’m enjoying the colourful consequence.

Last Chorus
Forgiveness, like revenge, tastes better with time
The side I’ve come down on, that decisions mine.
you’re over your fence, I hope you see green
If the colour fades, don’t bother to climb

Butterfly

Verse1
You’re my pattern in the chaos
Of changes out-with control
bleak house with spiralling staircase
No space for your quiet soul

Chorus
You’re my butterfly in the system
The theory of life, I embrace
You’re my butterfly in the system
You smile and I keep faith

Verse 2
Birds of a feather, they’re exhausting
A murder of crows, they fill the sky
But you and I play the long game
We smile and I watch you fly

Chorus
You’re my butterfly in the system
The theory of life, I embrace
You’re my butterfly in the system
You smile and I keep faith

Verse 3
You’re my pattern in this chaos
With you, I feel in control
Our house, not a house of mirrors
Still reflects a beautiful soul

Chorus
You’re my butterfly in the system
The theory of life, I embrace
You’re my butterfly in the system
You smile and I keep faith

Bridge
Tide and time, the moon keeps rising
Above the heat, the smoke, the pyre
A butterfly will change the system
We wait and look past the fire.

Chorus
You’re my butterfly in the system
The theory of life, I embrace
You’re the butterfly in the system
You smile and I keep faith

Lyrics Sheena Hope

Mountain climb

Verse 1
I think of you always, as often as I breathe
It’s involuntary without a reprieve
The pain of our parting is still there today
Time is an enemy carrying you away
​
Chorus
I look at my life and the decisions I’ve made
Regrets I take with me all the way to the grave
I’m aware no prayer can turn back time
Cause my heart starts each day with a mountain climb

Verse 2
I hope you’re happy and blessed with good things.
I’ll love you forever, whatever life brings.
In my heart, I rehearse conversations with you
But my mouth can’t deliver what I know to be true.

Chorus

Verse 3
So while I’m breathing, I hope for the best
You’re here on this planet and for that I am blessed
We don’t have contact and that’s not ok
But you’re in my heart always and that’s where you’ll stay

Bridge
Do you hate me I wonder, or think of me still.
Years of silence haunt me and always will
Inside is a hollow, shaped just like you
God knows, this ache can still break me in two

Last chorus
I look at my life and the decisions I’ve made
Regrets I take with me all the way to the grave
I’m aware my prayers never turned back time
but some days the mountain is easier to climb

Lyric Sheena Hope

Marathon

Verse 1
We haven’t arrived, where we’ve come from
nostalgia knows the doors to knock on
In maudlin moments, life makes sense
Then we remember the present tense.

Chorus
Forward thinking, from a backward glance
Who would’ve thought I’d take this stance?
Forgiveness, the treadmill I’m working on
Cause we’re not a sprint, but a marathon

Verse 2
Rose tinted mirrors, reflecting the deal
We made with ourselves, keeping it real
Flowery wallpaper, covering the cracks
Our House of dreams, with rules you relaxed

Chorus
Forward thinking, from a backward glance
Who would’ve thought I’d take this stance?
Forgiveness, the treadmill I’m working on
Cause we’re not a sprint, but a marathon


Verse 3
We haven’t got to where we’ve come from
nostalgia knows the doors to knock on
when we remember and life makes sense
then we’ve arrived at the present tense.

Bridge
A revolving story, hope keeps us moving
with each lap, times are improving
We may be injured, it's a painful fall
Confidence bruised by another’s call

Chorus
Forward thinking, from a backward glance
I never thought I’d take this stance
Forgiveness, the treadmill I’m working on
Cause you’re not my sprint, you’re my marathon

Lyrics Sheena Hope

The Fire

Verse 1
Do you still hope to meet “The One”?
That romcom staple for the young
or not so old, or not so single
we swipe, we post, we drink, we mingle

Chorus
That fierce flamboyant fabulous fire
This love we’re sold, we seek, inspire
all consuming, blazing bright
Our shield against the fading light


Verse 2
Maybe you’re waiting, scared of the spark
More afraid to burn than of the dark
Don’t be shy, just walk your own track
until you discover love reflects back

Chorus
That fierce flamboyant fabulous fire
This love we’re sold, we seek, inspire
all consuming, blazing bright
Our shield against the fading light


Verse 3
We’re all searching, in our own way
Just trying to cast life’s original play
I hope you’re lucky, I hope you’ve found
That connection, your silence in sound


Bridge
time, experience and maturity lessen
the chase, the hunt, the great obsession
finding peace via true loves ramble
There’s the warmth that’s worth the gamble


Chorus
That fierce flamboyant fabulous fire
This love we’re sold, we seek, inspire
all consuming, blazing bright
Our shield against the fading light

Verse 4
You may choose and be happy solo
or where you walk, someone will follow
As darkness falls, lay down your armour
Our lives revealed by the fading embers


Last Chorus
That fierce flamboyant fabulous fire
This love we’re sold, we seek, inspire
but finding peace via true loves ramble
There’s the warmth that’s worth the gamble

Lyric Sheena Hope

TODAY

The sun comes up on another day
tomorrow starts early, but it won’t stay
the sun will go down on another today
each precious moment just slipping away



each heartbeat, each breath, the rhythm within
to not wring every minute of life, what a sin
Life passes us by as we gaze at our feet
Lift your head and walk, then the path is complete


Why do we talk of “spending” time?
Cause the currency of life is a special thing
It is worth much more when we give it away
You can never buy time no matter what they say


One day I will look back on my time
and wish I’d enjoyed more loving of mine
family, friends that’s where the light shone
Cause work will just replace me after I’ve gone


Lyrics Sheena Hope
