Say It Loud, Say It Proud Gonna say it loud, (gonna say it loud) gonna say it proud (gonna say it proud) – I’m worth it - yes I am Gonna say it loud, (gonna say it loud) gonna say it proud (gonna say it proud) – I’m perfect as I am Just getting by, just making it through, may be enough, enough for you But towing The Line, not making waves, that’s not a living but digging our graves Chorus Gotta give it to me, ‘fore I can give it to you So, I’m takin’ it(me) back, that’s what I’m gonna do x 2 Cos living a lie, instead of a dream, is trying to float your boat up stream Stop giving away everything that you got, just love yourself and Rock! The Rock! Clive Williams 2021

Love And Rage There’s riot going on in the hearts of millions Soon its gonna hit the streets Fear like a fire is raging ‘cross this land Burning up the crops of peace And nothing’s gonna stop it now Nothing’s gonna stop it now Nothing’s gonna stop it, tear it up or block it Nothing’s gonna stop it now! Til we face the future – turn the page Change this world to love, To Love from rage – To Love from rage All around the world – everywhere you look Brewing like a hurricane Can’t you feel it coming, this time there’s no running Its time to break loose the chains And nothing’s gonna stop it now Nothing’s gonna stop it now Nothing’s gonna stop it now, tear it up or block it Til we face the future – turn the page Change this world to love, To Love from rage – To Love from rage

Peace And Love This ain’t no hyped-up Hippie dreaming Or some crazy crackpot scheming Look at the facts, the life we’re living It ain’t no Utopia We’ve got war and hate and greed, but not the things we need… Like Peace and Love and Understanding Yes Peace and Love – its what I’m demanding I've had enough of institutions I've had my fill of lies I'm sick of all the unmet promises And empty reasons why I’m making it plain, I want sunshine not just rain… More Peace and Love and Understanding Peace and Love – it’s what I’m demanding More Peace and Love and Understanding Peace and Love – it’s what we should be demanding

Rise Up 04:11
Rise Up Be still, like the lake – be silent, like the wood. Be gentle, like the wind – become all that you could. and rise up – rise up – rise up, rise up Be open, like the flower – be patient, like the rock. Be willing, like the water – to be all that you’re not. No need to worry, no need to weep, Just let your spirit rise, like a bubble from the deep and rise up – rise up – rise up, rise up Be present, like a child – be wonder, like the wild. Be nothing but be all – be the answer to life’s call. No need to worry, no need to weep, Just let your spirit rise, like a bubble from the deep And rise up – rise up – rise up - rise up! Clive Williams 2021

Rock My World Gonna bathe my hurting heart, in the waters of this land. Let the oceans slowly heal, and trust the truth of its reveal. And let it … Rock my world - shatter my illusions Rock my world – clarify confusions Rock my world – crumble its foundations Rock my world – and live the implications Then put my feet on solid ground and feel the earth beneath me call I’ll stand rooted and alive. Gonna live before I die And let it… Chorus Gonna quiet this busy mind, shut my eyes and maybe find, In a silent empty place, all I really need to face. And let it … Clive Williams 2021

The Awakening ‘Open up your heart Tear asunder your skin Let the darkness fall away And feel the light come back in Oh the Awakening – it’s a happening Yes the Awakening – it’s a happening Hear the thunder roar From deep, deep within Know the power that you are And have always been Oh the Awakening – it’s a happening Yes the Awakening – it’s a happening See the world for what it is Ten billion souls shining bright Everyone a candle burning bright Lighting up the universal night Oh the Awakening – it’s a happening Yes the Awakening – it’s a happening
7.
Sensual World Lonely, you may be lonely, feeling there is no one But open up, not just your eyes, and you will see, yes realise That we, yes you and me We are souls - we are souls Simply souls - simply souls Shining souls - shining souls In a sensual world –( in a sensual world) Told you, has someone told you That this world, is all there is Have you ever wondered why, we are born if just to die Oh see, can’t you see Chorus Trust me, don’t need to trust me Just look, beyond this veil We may live as skin and bone, with jobs and cars and mobile phones But we, yes you and me ….. Chorus

Seize The Day Seize the day, don’t let it slip away Hold on tight, before it greets the night Jump on board, that magic carpet ride Take a chance to know the ocean wide Seize the day x 3 Don’t let it slip away Be the one, lift the prize Wipe the tears from your eyes Know the highs, curse the lows Bless them all, but heaven knows seize the day Seize the day x 3 Don’t let it slip away Know the joys, feel the pain Break the mold or stay the same But do it now, don’t delay Don’t pride or fear or shame get in the way Seize the day x 3 Don’t let it slip away

If It Ain't Free (It Ain't Love) Its not a deal that you make or a promise they can break And they don't owe you 'cos you gave No it won't make them your slave If it ain't free – it ain't love That ain't what you're thinking of If it needs to be earnt Then a lesson's not been learnt If it ain't free – it ain't love and that ain't what you're thinking of Its not something you can hold It can't be bought or ever sold For only giving makes it grow and the more you get the more you know Chorus It's only yours – yours to give So let it go and start to live Instrumental Clive Williams 2014
10.
Feed Your Love No matter how bright you burn, the time will come When flames of passion bright, will no more …. You gotta feed your love You gotta feed your love You gotta feed your love Like you feed a fire Each day in some way, we all must give Fetch wood, stoke the fire, for love to live You gotta feed your love You gotta feed your love You gotta feed your love Like you feed a fire

Lighten Up Your Soul They say there’s darkness ahead, days of worry and woe Shadowy times where hearts and minds must grow Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh - time to lighten up your soul Woah oh oh Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh - time to lighten up your soul Woah oh oh And let the whole world know You say there’s clouds on the horizon and the rains are coming soon But only if we run, will we come undone and let them call the tune Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh – it’s time to lighten up your soul Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh - time to lighten up your soul And let the whole world know Light up, light up, light up! Light up your soul.

My Soul Is My Guide As I walk through my day and all that comes my way I know the choices are mine But I’m not alone, lost and on my own Cos here in my heart I know Oh, my soul is my guide, it shows me the way. A light in the dark when I stray. To its voice I just listen, so soft, kind, and sure, and I know I am safe once more Through the rush and the noise, oh a truth can be heard. If I just simply trust in its word And though I roam and I fall, I see through it all There will be a hand to pull me out Oh, my soul is my guide, it shows me the way. A light in the dark when I stray. To its voice I just listen, so soft, kind, and sure, and I know I am safe once more
13.
Love Is My Religion Love is my religion cos it don’t hurt no one Love is my religion cos it don’t carry a gun Its church is in the heart of every living soul Its bible never written but something we all know woah oh oh x 4 Ain’t a sinner or a saint, I don’t believe in what they paint Don’t follow any doctrines any scriptures or rote No, love is my religion cos it don’t judge no one Yes, Love is my religion cos its sees all as one Its church is in the heart of every living soul Its gospel never written but something we all know woah oh oh x 4 Love is my religion - woah oh oh Love is my religion - woah oh oh Clive Williams 2022

about

Two years in the making, this album captures my feelings and thoughts about living in the world today. It deal with our relationships with each other as fellow humans, but also with ourselves and our higher selves. Musically it uses rhythm and rhyme and beat, harmony and melody to carry my words joyfully into your awareness.
I have enjoyed immensely creating this and its companion album, 'The Awakening - Soul' and now hand it over to you, for your pleasure and engagement.
I hope its in some way lifts or inspires or informs you to like me awaken to the majestic fullness of our being.
Thank you for getting this far.
Clive
