Beautify
Artist: Cosmic Butterflies
Songwriter: Cabe Lindsay, 2020
I bring my concentration to the wind
I ask my grandfather to send his medicine
Air thank you for this life
Thank you for every blessing you provide
You make me happy healthy wealthy wise
Take me as I am and beautify
Beautify [4x]
I bring my concentration to the fire
I bring the anger out and let the embers fly
Fire thank you for this life…
Beautify
I bring my concentration to the stream
I bring the songs I sing and let them wash me clean
Water thank you for this life…
Beautify
I bring my concentration to the dirt
I ask my grandmother to help me heal this world
Earth thank you for this life…
Beautify

Artist: Cosmic Butterflies
Songwriter: Cabe Lindsay, 2021
Wherever you are
However far
We share the same space
To be stars
My heart burns bright for you [4x]
My every breath shares your air
My misty rain once was your ocean
My fire inside lives in you too
Mycelium under us
My heart burns bright for you
The dragonflies adore you
The butterflies hover above you
The fireflies come to comfort you
And even I fly in love
My heart burns bright for you

Artist: Elvis Presley
Songwriters: Hugo Peretti, Luigi Creatore, and George David Weiss, 1961
Wise men say only fools rush in
But I can’t help falling in love with you
Shall I stay? Would it be a sin
If I can’t help falling in love with you?
Like a river flows
Surely to the sea
Darling, so it goes
Some things are meant to be
Take my hand, take my whole life, too
For I can’t help falling in love with you
Like a river flows…
Take my hand, take my whole life, too
For I can’t help falling in love with you
For I can’t help falling in love with you

Artist: Cosmic Butterflies
Songwriter: Cabe Lindsay, 2019
Calling all artists—enjoy the space
This is an open canvas place
As for your twinkle shimmer sparkle
Your light your warmth appreciates
All you composers: bring your composure
This is a story well underway
As for your brushstrokes splashes auroras
You are invited to co-create
I am I am on my way I am on my way [4x]
Calling all consciousness—bring your finesse
This is a graceful grateful place
This is a blast this bliss this blessing
This is a sacred naked space
This is a pleasant present place
Made for the swan skywalker starchild
Made for the sufi singer seer
Made for the wild colors flying
I am I am on my way I am on my way [4x]

June Hershey and Don Swander, 1941
The stars at night are big and bright (clap, clap, clap, clap)
Deep in the heart of Texas
The prairie sky is wide and high (clap, clap, clap, clap)
Deep in the heart of Texas
The sage in bloom is like perfume (clap, clap, clap, clap)
Deep in the heart of Texas
Reminds me of the one I love (clap, clap, clap, clap)
Deep in the heart of Texas
The coyotes wail along the trail (clap, clap, clap, clap)
Deep in the heart of Texas
The rabbits rush around the brush (clap, clap, clap, clap)
Deep in the heart of Texas
The cowboys cry, “Ki-yip-pee-yi” (clap, clap, clap, clap)
Deep in the heart of Texas
The doggies bawl and bawl and bawl (clap, clap, clap, clap)
Deep in the heart of Texas

Cole Porter and Robert Fletcher, 1934
Oh give me land lots of land
Under starry skies above
Don’t fence me in
Let me ride through the wide
Open country that I love
Don’t fence me in
Let me be by myself
In the evening breeze
Listen to the murmur
Of the cottonwood trees
Send me out forever but
I ask you please
Don’t fence me in
Just turn me loose
Let me straddle my old saddle
Underneath the western skies
On my cayuse let me wander
Over yonder ’til I see
The mountain rise
I wanna ride to the ridge
Where the west commences
Gaze at the moon
Until I lose my senses
Can’t look at hobbles
And I can’t stand fences
Don’t fence me in

Artist: Cosmic Butterflies
Songwriter: Cabe Lindsay, 2018
Every wildflower knows how to hold the earth
Aware of the way of the wind we remember to bend
When we bear fruit we present our seeds to the breeze
Trusting the wind to allow us to continue to flourish
Flourish [4x]
[And] with our roots planted firm in the dirt
We open our petals to the heavens
Bathing in the light that purifies
Bringing that energy inside
Every wild animal knows how to tread lightly
Soft paws gentle hooves we remember the shush of the sea
Moving like the ocean in motion inside of us
Trusting the water to allow us to continue to flourish
Flourish [4x]
[And] with our roots planted firm in the dirt…
Every wildfire knows its role in the medicine wheel
To end one cycle for a new life cycle to begin
We burn like the phoenix and return to the dawn of a new day
Trusting the fire to allow us to continue to flourish
Flourish [4x]
[And] with our roots planted firm in the dirt…

Arkin, Darling, Hellerman, Hays, Gilbert, 1910
As I was out riding one morning for pleasure
I spied a young cowboy-a riding along
His hat was throw’d back and his spurs were jingling
And as he was riding he was singing this song
Whoopee ti yi yo, get along little dogies
It’s your misfortune ain’t none of my own
Whoopee ti yi yo, get along little dogies
You know that Wyoming will be your new home
When spring comes along we’ll round up the dogies
We’ll stick on their brands and we’ll bob off their tails
Pick out the strays, then the herd is inspected
And the very next day we’ll go out on the trail
Whoopee ti yi yo, get along little dogies
It’s your misfortune ain’t none of my own
Whoopee ti yi yo, get along little dogies
You know that Wyoming will be your new home
We’ll ride on the Prairies’ across the wide rivers
And on through the flats where there’s never a town
Our horses are weary, we’re tired and we’re hungry
They still, little dogies stop roaming around
Whoopee ti yi yo, get along little dogies
It’s your misfortune ain’t none of my own
Whoopee ti yi yo, get along little dogies
You know that Wyoming will be your new home
Tide is a-comin’ and the dogies are straying
They’re farther from home than they’ve been before
Come on little dogies it’s time to be rollin’
When we get to Wyoming we’ll roll no more
Whoopee ti yi yo, get along little dogies
It’s your misfortune ain’t none of my own
Whoopee ti yi yo, get along little dogies
You know that Wyoming will be your new home

Dr. Brewster M. Higley and Daniel E Kelley, 1872
O give me a home where the buffalo roam
Where the deer and the antelope play
Where seldom is heard a discouraging word
And the skies are not cloudy all day
Home, home on the range
Where the deer and the antelope play
Where seldom is heard a discouraging word
And the skies are not cloudy all day
Where the air is so pure and the zephyrs so free
And the breezes so balmy and light
That I would not exchange my home on the range
For all of the cities so bright
Home, home on the range
Where the deer and the antelope play
Where seldom is heard a discouraging word
And the skies are not cloudy all day
How often at night when the heavens are bright
With the light of the glittering stars
I stand there amazed and I ask as I gaze
Does their glory exceed that of ours?
Home, home on the range
Where the deer and the antelope play
Where seldom is heard a discouraging word
And the skies are not cloudy all day

John Lennon, 1971
Imagine there’s no heaven
It’s easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us, only sky
Imagine all the people
Livin’ for today
Imagine there’s no countries
It isn’t hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Livin’ life in peace
You may say I’m a dreamer
But I’m not the only one
I hope someday you’ll join us
And the world will be as one
Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world
You may say I’m a dreamer
But I’m not the only one
I hope someday you’ll join us
And the world will live as one

Artist: Cosmic Butterflies
Songwriter: Cabe Lindsay, 2020
Old souls young at heart
Find each other in the dark
Eyes closed open minds
Feel the fire of flying sparks
Om shanti shanti shanti* [4x]
Gold tones from the source
Offer their light showers
Wild horses given wings
Run in endless sunflowers
Om shanti shanti shanti
Show those colors
All you rainbows
Share those high notes
All you sparrows
Om shanti shanti shanti
Oceans of love
Offer their abysses
Just a drop is enough
That is what this is
Om shanti shanti shanti
***
*“Om shanti shanti shanti” is an invocation of peace.

Bill Withers, 1972
Hmm… hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm
Hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm
Hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm
Sometimes in our lives
We all have pain
We all have sorrow
But if we are wise
We know that there’s always tomorrow
Lean on me
When you’re not strong
And I’ll be your friend
I’ll help you carry on…
For it won’t be long
Till I’m gonna need somebody to lean on
Please swallow your pride
If I have things you need to borrow
For no one can fill
Those of your needs that you won’t let show
You just call on me brother when you need a hand
We all need somebody to lean on
I just might have a problem that you’ll understand
We all need somebody to lean on
Lean on me
When you’re not strong
And I’ll be your friend
I’ll help you carry on…
For it won’t be long
Till I’m gonna need somebody to lean on
You just call on me brother
When you need a hand
We all need somebody to lean on
I just might have a problem that you’ll understand
We all need somebody to lean on
If there is a load you have to bear
That you can’t carry
I’m right up the road
I’ll share your load
If you just call me
Call me
If you need a friend
(Call me)
Call me (call me)
If you need a friend
(Call me)
If you ever need a friend
(Call me)
Call me
(Call me) Call me
(Call me) Call me
(Call me) Call me
(Call me)
If you need a friend
(Call me)
Call me
(Call me) Call me
(Call me) Call me
(Call me) Call me

Jeff Lynne and Tom Petty, 1991
Well, I started out down a dirty road
Started out all alone
And the sun went down as I crossed the hill
And the town lit up the world got still
I’m learning to fly but I ain’t got wings
Coming down is the hardest thing
Well the good ol’ days may not return
And the rocks might melt and the sea may burn
I’m learning to fly but I ain’t got wings
Coming down is the hardest thing
Now some say life will beat you down
Break your heart steal your crown
So I started out for God knows where
I guess I’ll know when I get there
I’m learning to fly around the clouds
But what goes up must come down
I’m learning to fly but I ain’t got wings
Coming down is the hardest thing
I’m learning to fly around the clouds
But what goes up must come down
I’m learning to fly

Ken Darby, 1956
Love me tender, love me sweet
Never let me go
You have made my life complete
And I love you so
Love me tender, love me true
All my dreams fulfilled
For my darling I love you
And I always will
Love me tender, love me long
Take me to your heart
For it’s there that I belong
And we’ll never part
Love me tender, love me true…
Love me tender, love me dear
Tell me you are mine
I’ll be yours, through all the years
‘Til the end of time
Love me tender, love me true…

Artist: Four Tops
Songwriters: Holland–Dozier–Holland, 1966
Now if you feel that you can’t go on
Because all of your hope is gone
And your life is filled with much confusion
Until happiness is just an illusion
And your world around you is tumbling down
Darling reach out
Reach out
I’ll be there with a love that will shelter you
I’ll be there with a love that will see you through
When you feel alone and about to give up
‘Cause your best just ain’t good enough
And you feel the world has grown cold
And you’re drifting out all on your own
And you need a hand to hold
Darling reach out
Reach out
I’ll be there to love and comfort you
I’ll be there to cherish and care for you
I’ll be there to love and see you through
I’ll be there to love and comfort you
I can tell the way you hang your head
You’re without love now now you’re afraid
And through your tears you look around
But there’s no peace of mind to be found
You’re alone now no love of your own
Darling reach out
Reach out
I’ll be there to give you all the love you need
I’ll be there you can always depend on me

I wonder if you can handle it
I warn you I have my thorns
I show my petals only when I open up
Come lightly like a butterfly
Be sweet to me honeybee
Or leave me in my element

Let this sweet rush of love
Be the wind that hushes us

Let this bright flame of love
Be the fire that inspires us

Let this wine drop of love
Be the water that satisfies us

Let this lily garden of love
Be the earth that nurtures us

Let this starry crown of love
Be the sky above us

Let this smooth path of love
Be the road below us

With a simple pretty melody
To gather us together in harmony
Global harmony
We will rise higher
As a choir of voices
All the world will sing
In Spanish / en español
Con una simple melodía
Que nos reunirá en armonía
Armonía global
A subir más alto
Como un coro de voces
Todos cantarán

Artist: Cosmic Butterflies
Songwriter: Cabe Lindsay, 2021
Some bunny wants you here
Some bunny needs you now
Somehow you’re everything
Some bunny needs
With two ears to hear
Just one mouth to sing
Joining this melody
Enjoying harmony
Some bunny wants you here…
Hummingbirds and butterflies
Refresh as the water
Sagebrush and juniper
Release as the fire
Some bunny wants you here…

Artist: Ben E King
Songwriter: Ben King, Jerry Leiber, Mike Stoller, 1962
When the night has come
And the land is dark
And the moon is the only light we’ll see
No, I won’t be afraid
Oh, I won’t be afraid
Just as long as you stand
Stand by me
So darlin’, darlin’, stand by me
Oh, stand by me
Oh, stand
Stand by me, stand by me
If the sky that we look upon
Should tumble and fall
Or the mountain should crumble to the sea
I won’t cry, I won’t cry
No, I won’t shed a tear
Just as long as you stand
Stand by me
And darlin’, darlin’, stand by me
Oh, stand by me
Oh, stand now
Stand by me, stand by me
And darlin’, darlin’, stand by me
Oh, stand by me
Oh, stand now
Stand by me, stand by me
Whenever you’re in trouble won’t you stand by me
Oh, stand by me
Won’t you stand by

Still with you
I feel you in the countryside
When the horses run wild
Still with you
I feel you in the firelight
When it warms up the night
Still with you
I feel you in the wind
When it brushes my skin
Still with you
I feel you in cacao
When it kisses my mouth
Still with you
I feel you in guitar strings
When my heart sings

Ah, the awe the ease

Heart beating I am aware of my blood in flow
Ah, the awe the ease
I am singing because this melody is enlivening
Heart listening to this harmony imagining
Ah, the awe the ease
Eyes open I am seeing a world that welcomes me
With open roads and open arms to hold me
Ah, the awe the ease
Eyes ready I steady myself to serve as a vessel
With steady steps I readily up-level
Ah, the awe the ease
Water poured and fire lit I honor ancestors
I honor myself and all my brothers and sisters
Ah, the awe the ease
Water poured and fire lit I honor the spirit
I honor the earth and all in it that is sacred

Artist: Cosmic Butterflies
Songwriter: Cabe Lindsay, 2018
The Voice of all voices is singing
Singing in the Innermost
Calling all of us who listen
To listen and lend our voices
The heartbeat it is being drummed
Om-mani-padme-hum om-mani-padme-hum*
The heartstrings they are being strummed
Karuna-hum karuna-hum*
The presence of the Presence is with us
Here now in the moment
Calling all of us who focus
To focus and lend our voices
The heartbeat it is being drummed…
The Star of stars is guiding
Guiding high in the heavens
Calling all of us who wonder
To wonder and lend our voices
The heartbeat it is being drummed…
The harmony of the Harmony is calling
Calling the star people
Calling all of us who sparkle
To sparkle and lend our voices
The heartbeat it is being drummed…

Artist: Cosmic Butterflies
Songwriter: Cabe Lindsay, 2018
To create the peace in me
I must sing as sparrows sing
As a royal force of calm
That relaxes everything
With the sparrows’ soothing song
And the wind sending it long
I will pacify this forest
Being tender kind and strong
To create the peace in me
I must journey as the deer
Being stealthy in the forest
Moving safely far and near
With composure as the deer
I will walk to make my way
To the place where I am going
At a pace I can sustain
To create the peace in me
I must breathe as the bee
In the presence of the petals
With the pollen that I bring
With obedience as the bee
I will work delightedly
To be humble artful helpful
Noble diligent and sweet
To create the peace in me
I must see as eagles see
Having keenness in my senses
Having sensibility
With a lift of eagles’ wings
I will elevate my mind
I will focus my attention
On the fine gifts that I find
To create the peace in me
To remember how to smile
I must get to know my nature
As a child everwild
I am lion hear me purr
I am humming hummingbird
I am raindrop bearing rainbow
I am crystal clear and pure

*Tempo rubato is the suggested rhythm, with variable shifts in speed and space, like soothing waves, expressive and free-flowing.

Artist: Louis Armstrong
Songwriters: George David Weiss, Robert Thiele, 1967
I see skies of blue
And clouds of white
The bright blessed day
The dark sacred night
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world
The colors of the rainbow
So pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces
Of people going by
I see friends shaking hands
Saying, “How do you do?”
They’re really saying
I love you
I hear babies cry
I watch them grow
They’ll learn much more
Than I’ll ever know
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world
Yes, I think to myself
What a wonderful world
Ooh, yes

E|----------------------------------------------------------2-----|With A Little Help From My Friends
John Lennon and Paul McCartney, 6/1/1967
What would you do if I sang out of tune?
Would you stand up and walk out on me?
Lend me your ears and I’ll sing you a song,
And I’ll try not to sing out of key.
Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends.
Mmm, I get high with a little help from my friends.
Mmm, gonna try with a little help from my friends.
What do I do when my love is away?
Does it worry you to be alone?
How do I feel by the end of the day?
Are you sad because you’re on your own?
No, I get by with a little help from my friends.
Mmm, I get high with a little help from my friends.
Mmm, gonna try with a little help from my friends.
Do you need anybody?
I need somebody to love.
Could it be anybody?
I want somebody to love.
Would you believe in a love at first sight?
Yes, I’m certain that it happens all the time.
What do you see when you turn out the light?
I can’t tell you, but I know it’s mine.
Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends.
Mmm, I get high with a little help from my friends.
Oh, I’m gonna try with a little help from my friends.
Do you need anybody?
I just need someone to love.
Could it be anybody?
I want somebody to love.
Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends.
Mmm, I’m gonna try with a little help from my friends.
Oh, I get high with a little help from my friends.
Yes, I get by with a little help from my friends,
With a little help from my friends. Ah.
