I’VE LOVED YOU FOREVER (Laura Powers) The power, the glory I see the laughter and the tears Through lifetimes, our story Grows ever stronger with the years Only you hold the key to my soul Only you can set it free Oh, darling I know that I know I’ve loved you forever Come show me I know I’ve loved you forever Pale moonlight, two lovers We disappear into the night Deep shadows, our cover We disappear before dawn’s light Only you hold the key to my soul Only you can set it free Oh darling, I know that I know I’ve loved you forever Come show me I know I’ve loved you forever The first time that your Eyes met mine I felt our souls had been entwined I’ve waited so long just to see The one who’s always Filled my dreams © 2003 Powervibe Music

THE WORLD IS A RIVER (Laura Powers) The world is a river Running through me The wind is a whisper of Ghosts and sounds I flow with the waters I bend with the breezes And I will love you From where I’m bound The world is a river With traces of glory A thread that runs through us And I hear the story of You and me Every sorrow and every dream I will sing you the song of Hope in my heart I’ll reach to the distance And flow where you are For the world is a river The world is a river I do not know you yet I run through you Echoes of memories Pale as the moon The road of our Mothers’ restless journey The way of the water They once knew The world is a river A keeper of secrets And here in the darkness I hear the story of you and me Every sorrow and every dream Will you sing me the song Deep in your heart I’ll reach to the distance And flow where you are For the world is a river The world is a river I hear the cry of the ancients For dreams that never would be A million voices still calling Remember me, remember me The world is a river Running through me The wind is a whisper of Ghosts and sounds Old as the waters Young as the breezes I will love you From where I’m bound I will sing you the song of Hope in my heart I’ll reach to the distance And flow where you are For the world is a river The world is a river © 2003 Powervibe Music

SHINE LOVE (Laura Powers/David Lloyd) I gaze into the frozen distance I hear the echoes of my tears Holding pieces of These wasted years I know there’s Something better waiting I just can’t see which way to go Fighting shadows only Makes them grow Shine love Lead me through this Darkness in my soul Shine love, comfort me Give me some sign that I’m not alone Shine love I feel part of a greater wholeness The fire that feeds me is the sun In the end everything is one Shine love Lead me through this Darkness in my soul Shine love, comfort me Give me some sign that I’m not alone Shine love © 2003 Powervibe Music/ Singing

GET INSIDE (Laura Powers) Welcome to the world of ancients Can you hear them They want to warn you not to try Can you hear them calling Step up here and guess the riddle Look the lion in the eye Merlin’s staff and Raven’s fiddle Launch yourself into the sky I see you in the shadows I can read your mind Many men have failed the test Many men have tried To find the hidden treasure And to get inside Get inside, get inside This room holds a timeless secret Can you feel it Its riches locked deep within Can you feel it calling Step up here and guess the riddle Look the lion in the eye Merlin’s staff and Raven’s fiddle Launch yourself into the sky I see you in the shadows I can read your mind Many men have failed the test Many men have tried To find the hidden treasure And to get inside Get inside, get inside One time I hear you answer Two times I hear you call These riches soon will haunt you I see the hammer fall © 2003 Powervibe Music

DANCE TILL THE RAIN BEGINS (Laura Powers/Chris Pelcer) Ride the setting sun Skip across the seven oceans Throw a kiss up to the sky Dance till the rain begins Dare to dream out loud Fill your cup to overflowing Throw a kiss up to the sky Dance till the rain begins When sorrows of goodbye Return to find a heart still empty Throw a kiss up to the sky Dance till the rain begins Feel the drops fall As the heavens open Hear a sweet voice Calling out your name Follow the sound Till you find that only Love remains Feel the drops fall As the heavens open Hear a sweet voice Calling out your name Washing away all that Time won’t heal till Love remains You have loved me well As if the clouds Could shower diamonds Throw a kiss up to the sky Dance till the rain begins © 2003 Powervibe Music/ Keyway Music Publishing

MYSTIC AND THE MUSE (Laura Powers/Tracey McEvoy) A spiral shell The deepest well The beating of my heart All echo with the Mysteries of your art And on this darkest night I give my word I take your seven secrets Into the fire Like the Phoenix flew Where only love can reach us We rise anew The Mystic and the Muse We burn so bright You take the light Spin it into gold You reach through time To hear a voice of old And now it calls to us And so we go I take your seven secrets Into the fire Like the phoenix flew Where only love can reach us We rise anew The Mystic and the Muse © 2003 Powervibe Music/ Rezzonator Music
9.	It Shall Be No More 03:57	lyrics	buy track
IT SHALL BE NO MORE (Laura Powers/David Lloyd) Put away the table goods Cork the berry wine Hide the bins and baskets While we still have time Tell them these are counting stones Lest they take them away Young Derwood brings us warning An issue comes today The king sent down his high decree On the eve of Calan Mai The ancient ways are banished Going forward from this day The high songs and the sacred feasts Driven from the shores It shall be no more Burn the eldest oak grove Tear down the ring of shale Cover up the entryway and Path to Blackmoor Hill They will have us change the Outward signs of who we are But with the moon as witness We will never change our hearts The king sent down his high decree On the eve of Calan Mai The ancient ways are banished Going forward from this day The high songs and the sacred feasts Driven from the shores It shall be no more © 2003 Powervibe Music/ Singing Kiva Publishing
10.	Silver Wheel 08:35	lyrics	buy track
SILVER WHEEL (Laura Powers/Chris Pelcer) May your dreams bring you peace As your soul finds release When you fly from this realm You will always be with me A dream in our hearts And a song on the air I will remember Sweet days of summer We haven’t a care I will remember you Our dreams soar With the four winds Our hopes rise up anew Seasons change While our hearts stay Strong and true High the harvest moon glows O’re the bounty blessed Leaves like secrets fall Silent--a time of rest Watch the silver wheel turn round Spinning cold and quiet Casting fields of gray and brown In a world of white Heaven’s dial turns once again Ice crone sings softly Once again she takes her throne The silver wheel circles home Winter of Dreams (reprise) I see your face in fields of snow Hear your voice in winds that blow You left me with this memory That’s haunting my winter of dreams © 2003 Powervibe Music /Keyway Music Publishing Bonus Track UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN (Laura Powers) Let our eyes see only beauty Let our hands be kind and strong Let our hearts seek love always And our voices raise in song Tonight we are surrounded By dear and faithful friends May the ties of friendships keep us Until we meet again May these sweet ties hold and keep us Until we meet again

about

Evocative, with rich lyrical symbolism and vocal textures, the endcap of the Legends of the Goddess series, "TRILOGY: Legend of the Goddess III," brings this musical journey full circle. Come along as the music weaves a thread though time and cultures (The World Is A River), feel the power of faith (It Shall Be No More) and touch the sweetness of the love of a lifetime (I've Loved You Forever). Mystical, personal and uplifting, these are songs for the discriminating listener who wishes for something beyond the ordinary from their listening experience.
