Alchemy Gold             2021 Peter Hlavin

Featuring Barely Trev & Sabrina Sapal

VERSE 1

I was shepherd boy tending flock of sheep      

Dreamin’ of my travels under sycamore tree          

Met a righteous King from the village of Salem                          

Who sent me on a journey ‘cross a desert land                              

MAKTUB!  MAKTUB! 

Eyes met my truelove, no coincidence                                     

Whipped-up desert sands and I grew in confidence                         

Heeded signs and omens, my world has a soul              

Met genie alquimista who turned metal into gold                                           

MAKTUB!  MAKTUB! 

Look for omens, look for signs 

Risk and adventure keep your quest alive                      

CHORUS1

Take a slice of life from philosopher’s stone 

Mix love and soul together, that’s alchemy gold          

One-part life, two-parts soul                     

Three-parts love, makes alchemy gold 

VERSE2

Reached the pyramids and cried on dunes of sand 

Dug for treasure where my teardrops land 

Robbed by bandidos and beaten to a pulp 

Found clue to riches providing me with hope 

MAKTUB!  MAKTUB! 

Reset my compass with arrow pointing north 

To the sycamore tree where I first set forth 

Found my treasure trove, felt the touch of a kiss 

Perfume of my love on the levanter winds 

MAKTUB!  MAKTUB! 

Look for omens, look for signs 

Risk and adventure keep your quest alive                      

CHORUS2

Take a slice of life from philosopher’s stone 

Mix love and soul together, that’s alchemy gold          

One-part life, two-parts soul                     

Three-parts love, makes alchemy gold

STRANDED PILGRIM               ©2021 Peter Hlavin

Featuring Count Trey

VERSE 1 

I’m a stranded pilgrim on a road unknown 

Feeling so lonely million miles to go 

Paralyzed by fear I’m dazed n’ confused 

Holding broken heart, my sorry excuse 

I fold my hands 

Look to the sky 

Fall to my knees 

Let out a cry 

CHORUS1 

And I pray 

Lord, I need you today 

I’m a stranded pilgrim 

Lord, show me the way 

VERSE 2 

I must seek shelter to think things through 

Feeling skelter helter gotta warm-up my blues 

Stuck between a rock and a mighty hard spot 

I search for the cure to free-up my thoughts 

I fold my hands 

Look to the sky 

Fall to my knees 

Let out a cry 

CHORUS 2 

And I pray 

Lord, I need you today 

I’m a stranded pilgrim 

Lord, show me the way 

Stranded pilgrim (I am), Stranded pilgrim (I am), Stranded pilgrim (I am) 

Lord, show me the way 

 BRIDGE

Fightin’ my demons I try to hold on 

Nourishin’ my soul led by God’s only son 

I break my chains that are holding me down 

No longer stranded love pushes me on 

VERSE 3 

No longer stranded

Done with my ordeal 

My prayers got answered                             

On a journey surreal 

It’s time to move on 

Angels by my side 

Love all around me 

Holy spirit’s my guide 

CLOSING

And I pray 

Lord, I’m on my way 

No longer stranded 

Lord, I shout hey, hey 

No longer stranded (I am) 

No longer stranded (I am) 

No longer stranded 

Lord, I’m on my way 

On my way 

On THE WAY 

Lord, I’m on my way 

Hey, hey 

HEIGHT OF FORGIVENESS          ©2020 Peter Hlavin, Jeff Walker, S. Nieto

 Featuring Gilli Moon

 VERSE 1

Strolling in the countryside with past sins on my mind 

A hill came into my view, a slow walk and gradual climb 

Stopped and took a little time atop this tall and windy mound 

Saw some pilgrims by designs in a line and westward bound 

CHORUS1

I’m on my way, on the way, on the way to height of forgiveness 

I’m on my way, on the way, on the way to let go, so, let go and move on 

I’m on my way, on the way, on the way to height of forgiveness 

I’m on my way, on the way, on the way to let go, so, let go and move on 

VERSE2

Standing on the mountain top started to repent my sins 

This was not an easy road but here now my spirit lives 

CHORUS2

I’m on my way, on the way, on the way to height of forgiveness 

I’m on my way, on the way, on the way to let go, so, let go and move on 

I’m on my way, on the way, on the way to height of forgiveness 

I’m on my way, on the way, on the way to let go, so, let go and move on 

SPOKEN WORD

Pilgrims proceed to feed who they are where the path of the wind crosses the stars 

The reason they’ve been walking this far? Is ‘cause El Camino represents all of our scars 

On the way there’s a hill of forgiveness where dancing ladies are the only real witness 

The wind whips memories of all of our lives while the descent represents atonement and all of our cries 

CLOSING

Oh, I’m on my way, on the way, on the way to height of forgiveness

Oh, I’m on my way, on the way, on the way to let go, so, let go and move on 

I’m on my way, on the way, on the way to height of forgiveness 

I’m on my way, on the way, on the way to let go, so, so, let go and move on 

I’m on my way, on the way, let go and move on 

I’m on my way, on the way

Let go and move on, I’m on my way, on the way 

Let go and move on, I’m on my way, on the way 

Let go and move on
