Love Rain Down
by Leilani The Artist
Sometimes life gets ya down, whoah
You feel like you’re gonna drown, whoah
I saw a glimmer of happiness
Through the waterfall of salty tears
I saw a glimmer of joy in your eyes
And love rain down on you from heaven, whoah
Sometimes fear gets in the way, whoah
You wanna push it all away, whoah
I saw a glimmer of happiness
Through the waterfall of salty tears
I saw a glimmer of joy in your soul
And love rain down on you from heaven
Love rain down, rain down from heaven
Love rain down, rain down from heaven
Love rain down, rain down from heaven
Rain down from heaven
Love rain down, rain down from heaven
Love rain down, rain down from heaven
Love rain down, rain down from heaven
Rain down from heaven, whoah
Happiness is so fragile
You don’t know how you’re ever gonna smile, again
It’s so hard to find your way
You don’t know how you’ll face another day, whoah
Love rain down, rain down from heaven
Love rain down, rain down from heaven
Love rain down, rain down from heaven
Rain down from heaven
Love rain down, rain down from heaven
Love rain down, rain down from heaven
Love rain down, rain down from heaven
Rain down from heaven, whoah

Path of Least Resistance
by Leilani The Artist
Let me give you something
Melodies and words
Flowing in the river of your mind
I can set you free
But only if you will let me
Touch your heart with music
(I’ll touch your heart)
The sunset’s breaking
Blood red sky from a heart ripped open
(From a heart ripped open)
Colours painted
With evening light
Stretching across the timeless great divide
Like the smile on your face
As I take you to that magic place
Follow the path of least resistance
Water travels downhill
(Travels downhill)
Don’t stop running like the river to the sea
(River to the sea)
I’ll touch your heart with music
If you’ll let me set you free
Set you free
I wanna give you shivers
Make you laugh and make you cry
Make you feel something, feel alive
(Feel alive)
Leaves change
Lose their colour
Turn from green to gold to red to brown
Then finally skeletal
Skeletal they fall
To the ground
Life stripped away
(Life stripped away)
All that’s left is decay, decay
Withering away
Life passes us day by day
And then we fall into grace
As I take you to that magic place
Follow the path of least resistance
Water travels downhill
(Travels downhill)
Don’t stop running like the river to the sea
(River to the sea)
I’ll touch your heart with music
If you’ll let me set you free
Colours painted with dying light
Melting into the darkness of the night
Follow the path of least resistance
Water travels downhill
(Travels downhill)
Don’t stop running like the river to the sea
(River to the sea)
Follow the path of least resistance
Water travels downhill
(Travels downhill)
I’ll touch your heart with music
If you’ll let me set you free
Set you free

Perfect Imperfection
by Leilani The Artist
No-one is happy all the time
No-one knows for sure
Everyone has doubt (We’re trying to figure it out)
And everyone is searching (We will find it someday)
No-one is completely satisfied
No-one has it all
Everyone is incomplete (But we’re beautiful)
And everyone is in progress (Works of art in progress)
How can I be happy when I’m not perfect?
Perfect Imperfection, Perfect Imperfection
How can I be happy when I’m not perfect?
Perfect Imperfection, Perfect Imperfection
Everyone has insecurities
Everyone has failed
Everyone screws up (We’ll do better next time)
And everyone falls down (But we get back up)
How can I be happy when I’m not perfect?
Perfect Imperfection, Perfect Imperfection
How can I be happy when I’m not perfect?
Perfect Imperfection, Perfect Imperfection
How can I be happy when I’m not perfect?
Perfect Imperfection, Perfect Imperfection
How can I be happy when I’m not perfect?
Perfect Imperfection, Perfect Imperfection

Shades of Grey
by Leilani The Artist
Hard to tell what’s right and wrong
Depends on who you ask
There are many sides to every story
We teach our kids in black and white
Good and bad, wrong and right
Real life is not always that simple
There can be no day, without the night
Without darkness, there can be no light
Without the night, there can be no day
But in between are the shades of grey
Easy to judge another
Understanding is a little harder
There is more than only one right answer
Looking now from different views
I can’t be so quick to choose
Truth is always found a little deeper
There can be no day, without the night
Without darkness, there can be no light
Without the night, there can be no day
But in between are the shades of grey
What about the child sucked into war
He may have killed but is he cold
Or just fighting for survival
Yin and yang they circle as they turn
Opposites, they mix and blur
Black and white get convoluted
There can be no day, without the night
Without darkness, there can be no light
Without the night, there can be no day
But in between are the shades of grey

Gingerbear
by Leilani The Artist
Souls merging
In the twilight within
You said you didn’t know
Where you end and I begin
Dreams converging
Ready to fly
Kindred spirits
With heaven, sea & sky
Gingerbear you know that I’d dance anytime with you
Until icy puddles in our boots soak through
Rotating with the earth beneath a star-studded sky
Walking tunnels which connect our souls
Through our eyes
Emotions surging
Happy times two
My ocean’s
Filled with flowers from you
Gingerbear you know that I’d dance anytime with you
Until icy puddles in our boots soak through
Rotating with the earth beneath a star-studded sky
Walking tunnels which connect our souls
Through our eyes
I must admit
I was a little scared
To be so close to you
So hold me tight
Don’t ever let me go
And Gingerbear you know that I’d dance anytime with you
Until icy puddles in our boots soak through
Rotating with the earth beneath a star-studded sky
Walking tunnels which connect our souls
Through our eyes
Walking tunnels which connect our souls
Through our eyes
Gingerbear, I love you
Gin-Gingerbear, I love you

Mexico
by Leilani The Artist
The rooster crows in the morning
When the sun is still in bed
You go down to the playa
Where the waves, they are overhead
Ah-la-la-la-la-la
Oh-oh-oh-oh-ee-oh
He-eh-ay-ay-eeh-ay
It’s so nice today
Life is so simple
Life is so good in Mexico
I’m not so sure that
I want to go back to where I am from
Cervesas, burritos, familias, perritos
I feel at home, in Mexico
The wind is a running from the shore
The sets they are rolling in
Sea spray a spilling, surfer he killing
And smooth fly the pelicans
Ah-la-la-la-la-la
Oh-oh-oh-oh-ee-oh
He-eh-ay-ay-eeh-ay
It’s so nice today
Life is so simple
Life is so good in Mexico
I’m not so sure that
I want to go back to where I am from
Cervesas, burritos, familias, perritos
I feel at home, in Mexico
A storm came crashing in
Rain washed away
The hard work of the people
But today is another day
Life is so simple
Life is so good in Mexico
I’m not so sure that
I want to go back to where I am from
Cervesas, burritos, familias, perritos
I feel at home
In my cabana, lying in a hammock
I wrote this song, in Mexico

Destiny
by Leilani The Artist
Do things happen for a reason?
Does your life have certain meaning?
Meetings turn into connections
Journeys lead in new directions
Then one thing leads to another
Puzzle pieces come together
Ow!
Time is passing, time is ticking
Is it fate that things are clicking?
Linking parts so circuits close and
Power surges pulse and flow while
Energy in harmony
Stretches into infinity
Bringing thoughts and bringing questions
Is this choice or is it destined?
Do you believe in destiny?
Do you believe in destiny?
Have we met in other times?
Other places, other lives?
Was it written in the stars,
For us to end up where we are?
Did our choice lead to this spot?
Maybe so and maybe not
Do you believe in destiny?
Do you believe in destiny?
Did your fate lead you to me?
Was this supposed to be?
Do you believe in destiny?
Do you believe in destiny?

Moments
by Leilani The Artist
It has already ended
It had only just begun
Swept up in a passion
As the moments are spun
It’s time for some flow
It’s time to let go
You can’t hold these moments – Aaah-aah
You can’t hold these moments – Aaah-aah
You can’t hold these moments, they’re already gone
And I------, I-------‘m travelling on
You slip through my fingers
Like sand on a beach
And are put into memories
Out of tangible reach
It’s time for some flow
It’s time to let go
You can’t hold these moments – Aaah-aah
You can’t hold these moments – Aaah-aah
You can’t hold these moments, they’re already gone
And I------, I-------‘m travelling on
I reach out and touch then
I have to let go
It hurts when I leave but I
Don’t let it show
It’s time for some flow
It’s time to let go
You can’t hold these moments – Aaah-aah
You can’t hold these moments – Aaah-aah
You can’t hold these moments, they’re already gone
And I------, I-------‘m travelling on
The past is gone, you can’t hold on
So find out how to live right now
The past is gone, so just move on
And find out how to live right now
The past is gone, you can’t hold on (You can’t hold on)
So find out how to live right now
The past is gone, so just move on (So just move on)
And find out how to live right now
The past is gone, you can’t hold on (You can’t hold on)
So find out how to live right now
The past is gone, so just move on (So just move on)
And find out how (Find out how)
To live right now (To live right now)

Don’t Forget It
by Leilani The Artist
I’ve searched my whole life to find you
I’ve searched my whole life to have you
Why can’t you see
You’re the only one for me
So don’t forget it
I’ve waited my whole life to kiss you
I’ve waited my whole life to hold you
Why can’t you see
You’re the only one for me
So don’t forget it
We’ll spend our whole lives together (Forever)
Butterflies fluttering as one (Forever)
Why can’t you see
You’re the only one for me
So don’t forget it
I’ve yearned my whole life to love you
I’ve yearned my whole life to be loved by you
Why can’t you see
You’re the only one for me
So don’t forget it
We’ll spend our whole lives together (Forever)
Butterflies fluttering as one
Shadows melting into the heavens (Forever)
Becoming part of the sun
Why don’t you know
That I’m not letting go
So don’t forget it

The Flow of Life
by Leilani The Artist
Sugary sand made of shells cracked and shattered
Ground up so fine
Rock and bone weakened and great sea-cliffs fallen
Eroded with time
Layers of secrets discovered, laid naked
Uncovered by waves
The ocean will smooth the most jagged of corners
Wash them away
You will rise, you will fall
That’s the beauty of it all
You’ll be high, you’ll be low
That’s the ebb and that’s the flow
Of life ------------- of life
Of life ------------- of life
Waves on the surface rise up for an instant
Breaking the skin
Falling back into the great mass of water
Absorbing again
Foamy-white wave-crests hint at and keep hidden
The power below
Currents churn ceaselessly changing their patterns
The great ebb and flow
You will rise, you will fall
That’s the beauty of it all
You’ll be high, you’ll be low
That’s the ebb and that’s the flow
Of life ------------- of life
Of life ------------- of life
Ooh-Ooh-Ooh
Ooh-Ooh-Ooh
Systems and structures form pumping and pulsing
Then ebb into death
Melting back into the keeper of all things
God’s liquid flesh
You will rise, you will fall
That’s the beauty of it all
You’ll be high, you’ll be low
That’s the ebb and that’s the flow
Of life ------------- of life
Of life ------------- of life
Hit the ground, touch the sky
Rise and fall with the tide
You were born, you will die
You will wonder why
You will rise, you will fall
That’s the beauty of it all
You’ll be high, you’ll be low
That’s the ebb that’s the flow
Of life ------------- of life
Of life ------------- of life
Of life ------------- of life
Of life ------------- of life
Of life ------------- of life
Ooh-Ooh-Ooh
Ooh-Ooh-Ooh
