Lyrics
Aradhana Verse
There is a land /
Come take my hand /
Let magic grow /
To the beat of a guitar strumming band /
Innocently I tread /
As my city cloak is shed /
To the jungle I am led /
Oh, won’t you please take me there? /
Learn your lessons /
Trust your body /
Let go of control /
Let the peace in /
Let it permeate your soul /
To the place where we’re all teachers /
In harmony with all creatures /
Message from a secret land /
Put a little more love in your heart! /
Chorus 1
In the forests of the islands /
I did walk so I could see /
Over hills and through the valleys /
To the land of the menehune /
Jeremy Verse
With the sun as our guiding star /
Hoping to travel far /
Seeking the ways that were hard and steep /
Taking our chances to blindly leap /
Every journey is a chance to grow /
Walking on the paths of the seeds we’ve sown /
Running the hilltops and climbing trees /
Flowed by the water and blown by the breeze /
Sometimes, the ways are openly revealed /
Other times seems like the gates are sealed /
When we trust in ourselves there is no doubt /
What we dwell on inside’s reflected out /
Part of each pilgrimage is the return home /
Realizing all the ways we’ve grown /
Chorus 2
In the forests of the islands /
Waterfalls and guava trees /
Hidden pools that lead to tunnels /
To the land of the menehune /
Bridge/Solo
Truth-I Verse
I took my lady to the islands /
Just to be where life was thriving /
We had come from near the city /
Where people barely surviving /
From the moment that we landed /
It was like another planet /
I knew that magic waited /
Just to catch us open-handed /
Sipping cocos, picking fruit /
Swimming in the waves /
Relaxing in the sun /
We had been there several days /
When this brother that I know /
Told a story that I share /
About the little people /
Of the forest close to there /
He said, “Fact is not a myth, /
I’ll take you on a path /
Behind the waterfall /
And through a tunnel in the mist” /
We were fast /
And made it there in only half a day /
And I begin to see the many signs along the way /
So they say /
When you make the little people laugh /
All your troubles go away /
And you accomplish any task /
Like a splash /
I heard a joyous song ring out loud /
And ever since that day /
I’ve been walking on a cloud /
W-walking on a cloud /
W-walking on a cloud /
