Sing for Freedom
To the beat of a single drum...we come to stand together as ONE.
Sing for Freedom © Sandra Gates, 2021
Sing for freedom
Freedom, freedom, freedom
I claim my Sovereignty
Freedom, freedom, freedom
To live in Harmony
God made us free
Come stand with me
In good faith arise now
Come together as one
Make the allegiance vow
With hubris to overcome
(Hubris = overbearing pride, presumption: arrogance)
Our freedom is God given
Equality and rights of speech
By strength of hearts our lives are driven
We practice love through beliefs
Sing for freedom
Freedom, freedom, freedom
I claim my Sovereignty
Freedom, freedom, freedom
To live in Harmony
God made us free
Come stand with me
Speak it:
No control, No restrictions
Respect the Constitution
No medical demands
Brothers and Sisters in all lands
We, The People make our stand
Coming together in oneness until it’s done
No stopping until we’ve won
Sing for freedom
Freedom, freedom, freedom
I claim my Sovereignty
Freedom, freedom, freedom
To live in Harmony
God made us free
Come stand with me
Who needs freedom?
Brothers and sisters in all lands
All people in union we stand
Know the truth by feeling through your heart
Give freedom and equality a fresh start!
Sing for freedom
Freedom, freedom, freedom
I claim my Sovereignty
Freedom, freedom, freedom
To live in Harmony
God made us free
Come stand with me.
Sing for freedom!

Let Go
“Let Go” © Sandra Gates, inspired by Cory Muscara (Instagram)
If you want to let go
You must fall in love
With that part of you
That keeps holding on
The reason we don’t let go
Is not due to lack of will
We are afraid to lose
Someone or something
Let go. Let go. Let go. Release any judgment
Let go. Let go. Let go. Love is the way of be-ing.
Love is the awareness
Love is the answer to everything
When you infuse yourself with love
The part that is holding on
Gets touched by the LOVE, it fears
It will lose and be gone.
Let go. Let go. Let go. Release any judgment
Let go. Let go. Let go. Love is the way of be-ing.
Understanding not required. Only faith and trust
Surrender into love. Just love. And let go. Let go.
Fall in love with you
Love all parts of you
Love, the essential love
Love, is letting go.
Let go. Let go. Let go. Release any judgment
Let go. Let go. Let go. Love is the way of be-ing.
Love is the answer.
Love is the answer.
Love is the answer to everything.

A Thousand Deaths
bellasandramusic@protonmail.com
Original - Live recording- lyrics below
Image: Immaculate Heart, inspired by Clarissa Estes described below
A Thousand Deaths © by Sandra Gates, April – July 2022
I died a thousand deaths, yours and mine
Since fear took your breath, and a shot of Russian roulette
Anguish washes over me from time to time.
But I rise each day with a strength higher than mine
I died a thousand deaths, yours and mine.
Since your belief in lies and excluding me from your life.
It’s been the hardest thing I have ever bore
They say all is fair in love and war.
I trust one day you’ll know
The evil that exists put on this show, ohhhh whoah
A thousand deaths
With each and every breath
One by one
I’m just holding on. Holding on. Learning to let go while I hold on.
I died a thousand deaths, yours and mine
Not holding to this strife as the one and only life
Censorship and propaganda alert the wise
To see through the deception of those Power-Over-You-Guys
I died a thousand deaths, yours and mine.
May the darkness be gone, and this perilous war won.
I hold your heart as I have always done
And hope for some happiness to come
I’m just holding on - for the best to come.
Letting go and holding on.
Image "Immaculate Heart" by Clarissa Estes Ph.D.
"The swords through our heart are not those which cause our ruin but rather the mighty swords of strength carried by our deep struggles through hard times."
Swords: surrender, veils, healing, new life, courage, life force "and the heaviest to carry at times, love." ..."Be in touch with the one that dwells within."
"My Immaculate Heart will be your refuge and the way that will lead you to God" - Blessed Mother Mary

"Be" ©by Sandra Gates, Aug. 14, Era of Peace
I grow in wisdom through love
Forgiveness and compassion into tenderness
A responsibility creating change
As the power of love flows
Be here now. Be the love
Be the light and truth
Be you
In your fullness
Like glue that holds and flexes
Love creates, love transforms
Love harmonizes and heals
It multiplies all desires of goodness
Be here now. Be the love
Be the light and truth
Be you
In your fullness
Merge into the oneness of love
Limitations dissolve
Be, become, becoming the Mastery of destiny
Attracting what you want, to be; Be you.
Be here now. Be the love
Be the light and truth
Be you
In your fullness
Merge into the oneness of love
Limitations dissolve
Be, become, becoming the Mastery of destiny
Attracting what you want, to be; Be you.
Being who you are meant to be.
Just Be.

The Light

Original - Live recording- headphones recommended; lyrics below
Image: MomentsPhotographybySandy.com
The Light ©by Sandra Gates
And in the darkness that surrounded me
I kept my eyes to the light
And the thoughts that took my breath
The light breathed into me, grasping
The light sustains
The light creates
The light shows the beauty without and within
The light, the light
My face to the light
Fears releasing down my cheeks
All that cannot come with me
As I journey into the light
Chorus
Let it flow and the clouds remain
Until the water of my soul is washed clean
Into the mist, into the night
‘Til night comes to twilight and into the day
Rise, oh child of the Sun
Shine all that you have
Oh, light my soul
Let the darkness slip away
And the rainbow appear … with the light
The light, the light.
The light, the light.

Tilt of Ascension

Original song - LIve recording - headphones recommended; lyrics below

"Tilt of Ascension" ©by Sandra Gates
North, east, south and west
Come into the center, come and rest
Standing side by side
As one
As your light shines
Others will see your light Divine
Your light, emanates
It shines
Allow your shining light to rise up the spine
And SHINE, shine, shine; SHINE
Oh, you are a temple of God
A crown of light upon your head
Holding up all that you are
Showing what’s already known inside
Align in the mindful breath
Follow the flow, and the rhythm
And with intention
Be it.
Allow your breath of life to rise up the spine
And SHINE, shine, shine; SHINE
Oh, you are a temple of God
A crown of light upon your head
Holding up all that you are
Showing what is already known inside
Feel it, Hold it. Be here now..
And claim it, out loud:
I AM love, I AM light and the goodness of the All That Is
I AM seen. I Am needed and Beloved. I AM Love.
I Am that I Am
You are that you are
I shine. You shine
We shine.
We shine our light.
We shine.
We shine our light.

Spirit of the Desert (c) Sandra Gates
Come, Oh, Spirit
And into the Land of Nothingness
May you find your wholeness
Baked to let go
Releasing to be filled
A vessel allowing the Divine
Love flowing to nourish
Send up your eyes, your hands, your thoughts
To the sky, to the Sun, the wind and the stars
Oh, Spirit of the Desert
Rise in abundance for all
Imagine a potential in the highest realms
Come, oh, Spirit; Spirit of the Desert Lands
Land of transmutation
Land of transformation
Transporting yourself
Back to your Soul, back to the Source
Oh, Spirit of the Desert
Rise in abundance for all
Imagine a potential in the highest realms
Come, oh, Spirit; Spirit of the Desert Lands
Remember, your gifts
Remember you're a Human Star
And the essence of you and God within
Awaken, mmmm, and listen.
Remember
Remember who you are
And the essences that dwell within
Awaken, mmmm, and listen.

Grounded in the Stars
bellasandramusic@protonmail.com
Original - Live recording - headphones recommended; lyrics below
Image: MomentsPhotographybySandy.com
This song was inspired while doing inner work with "Entering the Castle" by Caroline Myss, energy work and meditation. Through awareness we can learn to release out past and emotions to make room for more light, our eternal essence.
Grounded in the Stars © by Sandra Gates
Enter the castle that is you through and through
The drawbridge rises with your intention
As your essence permeates the walls
You sense safety, discovery and emotions.
Grounded in the stars
The inner light shines
Building consciousness
To be in union beyond time, beyond time.
Banish any doubt that’s stirring
Command your every thought
While eyes witness like silent movies
Accepting what is and what is not
Chorus
No residing in social norms with ego’s insatiable needs
Crying out to be special relentlessly
Desires, consumption and competing; comparing and complaints
Worries and spinning emotions needlessly;
Oh no,no,no You are grounded in the stars
Within the stillness and yearnings of the heart Your inner light shines.
Introspect, detach, and create space
Into the higher consciousness where bliss resides
Then we can have world peace.
Only then can we have world peace. We need peace.
We need higher consciousness. For we are grounded in the stars.

Love Is the Way Home
bellasandramusic@protonmail.com
Original - Live recording, lyrics below
Image: MomentsPhotographybySandy.com
“Love Is the Way Home” © Sandra Gates
Home is a warm, cozy feeling like you belong
Sharing, caring and giving life purpose
It’s not a place or house of your own.
Love is a never ending, growing force that makes us strong
It’s how we clothe spirit that’s within us
A light on a path all of our own
Love is born to be given away
Love is how it all began one day
Love is the way
Love is the way home
I know that everything I have is nothing
Compared to how I give and how I receive,
Only love remains when I am gone
Chorus
When you need love
Be love. Give it away.
When you need my love.
Give your love away.
Chorus, V1, Chorus
Outro: Love is the way.
Love is the way home.
Love is the way.
Love is the way home.

Change is Everything
bellasandramusic@protonmail.com
Original - Live recording, lyrics below
Image: MomentsPhotographybySandy.com
The words for this song came through Sandra Gates in Meditation 10-27-2019, music 2022; additional words were added for ease of singing.
What if everything you were taught was a lie?
Would you change? Could you change?
What if your imagination extended beyond the skies?
Would you allow yourself to see? Could you believe what you see?
What if this body is your vehicle to transform?
What if your path alone is the true way and the norm?
Would you, could you go alone?
Although you never are
It’s only the path that seems so
A golden path for each and everyone
A guiding light, one step at a time
In no time, you’ll begin to trust
Trust in the journey
The journey of one in the oneness of all
Always in love
IN love with oneness.

Beyond This Place
bellasandramusic@protonmail.com
Original - Live recording, lyrics below

Beyond This Place ©by Sandra Gates
I haven’t slept well since I knew you were leaving
On a journey, where I can’t go.
I can only follow in time. On my own to this place beyond.
Beyond this place…
Beyond this place, to love and grace
Beyond this place, to love and grace
You’re beyond this place
So I’ll embrace the now, and carry on
Still takes my breath away, knowing you won’t be here
To love life, as it unfolds.
Right now it feels so wrong. To say good-bye, and know you’re gone
Beyond this place…
Chorus
I’ll carry on. I’ll carry on. Our love is strong. To carry me on.
God’s plan for you is different than my own.
Forms and channels change, but love remains
A piece of you carries on, it resides within our love
Here, and beyond
Chorus
I’ll carry on. I’ll carry on. Our love is strong. To carry me on.
I’ll carry on. I’ll carry on. Our love is strong. To carry me on.
I’ll carry on.

Find Me
Find God in everything and everyone.
Original - Yard Dog Studio, lyrics below
Image: MomentsPhotographybySandy.com
Find Me © Sandra Gates
Einstein replied that he believed in the God of Nature, as written by Baruch de Spinoza – Dutch Philosopher, 17th Century. This song was written to represent the God of All-That-Is
Find me, in the mountains, valleys, deserts, oceans, rivers and streams.
Find me, in music and painting and in the weaving of your dreams.
Find me, in the sunrise at dawn, and how you make your way until the day is done.
Find me, everywhere you look and in the eyes everything and everyone.
Rejoice and enjoy while you exist.
Love, close up and at a distance.
Find me, in the learning opportunities of life called strife.
Find me, in all you choose to think and feel and how you create this life.
Find me in the losing and when you feel you’ve won.
Find me in the presence of stillness and the energy eternity has begun.
Rejoice and enjoy while you exist.
Love, close up and at a distance.
Churches cannot contain me.
Scriptures cannot retain me.
Find me, in the caring of each other, your body and how you breathe.
Find me in the movement of dance, in leaves and trees, and a feather on the breeze.
Find me, in a kiss, a hug, a smile, a tear, and in the Earth, and Sun, and Moon and stars above.
Find me in the freedom of living and in the honor of what you have spoken of.
Rejoice and enjoy while you exist.
Love, close up and at a distance.
Persist in wonder and delight
Live like everything. Everything’s gonna be alright.

Be the Love © Sandra Gates
You walk away but
You never walk alone
Your “I Am” presence is
Deep within your Soul.
Deep within your soul.
Use intentions for good
Breath into the Now
Calm your mind for changes
Let yourself Be Love. Be the Love.
It begins with you, extends with we
Be the love, pass it forward
Be the love, pass it around
Make the changes we need in this world
Make the changes we need ‘em now. Be the change. We need change NOW.
For a better world, a better world
For you and me. For you and me
For a better world, a better world
For you and me. For you … and me
Within this world together
No need for hierarchy
Sharing generates
Kindness is everything. Kindness is everything.
It begins with you, extends with we
Be the love, pass it forward
Be the love, pass it around
Make the changes we need in this world
Make the changes we need ‘em now. Be the change. We need change NOW.
For a better world, a better world
For you and me. For you and me
For a better world, a better world
For you and me. For you … and me
