THE POWER OF YOUR MIND
© 2007 Gary Pecorella
Lyrics & Music by Gary Pecorella
1...
Take a ride on a cosmic journey
Leave your fear behind
You can do anything you want
Open up your mind
Now is the moment
Your wish is your command
Life’s yours for the asking
Reach within, understand
CHORUS:
Close your eyes
Wisdom flows like music through your head
Every note plays perfectly in time
Peace and happiness are yours to find
Tune in to the power of your mind
2...
Fire up your imagination
Let the bygones by
Feel the winds of inspiration
Lift you to the sky
You are the composer
Of your life’s symphony
The magic of creation
It flows through you and through me
CHORUS:
Close your eyes
Wisdom flows like music through your head
Every note plays perfectly in time
Peace and happiness are yours to find
Tune in to the power of your mind
Bridge:
What a beautiful feeling
Body and soul immerse
Mind becoming Universe
We are all evolving
We’re part of a greater scheme
Seizing the day
Finding our way
Grasping the dream
Bridging the stream
CHORUS:
Close your eyes
Wisdom flows like music through your head
Every note plays perfectly in time
Peace and happiness are yours to find
Tune in to the power of your mind
REPEAT CHORUS
My Heart Waits For You
Featuring the voice of AMETHYSTE”
My Heart Waits For You is a Pop/Classical ballad on piano with string arrangement, featuring the enchanting and beautiful voice of Amethyste .
In a show tune style performance, the song boasts a two octave vocal range, modulated chorus, and lyrics that melt the heart.
‘My Heart Waits For You’ is a haunting love ballad about passing on at the end of life. From the perspective of the person who has died, the song is endearing and uplifting, and the message from the other side is that love lives on eternally.
Lastly, my deepest appreciation goes out to all of my friends and fans, who continue to inspire me in more ways than they know, to keep on creating music! Your comments and messages are welcome and appreciated…
I am VERY excited about shopping this tune to the major artists!
I have posted the lyrics for you BELOW.
I hope that you enjoy it!

Lyrics & Music by Gary Pecorella
1...
My love, can you hear me? See me?
There’s so much I want to say
My lips long to taste you, embrace you
But I have to go away
I’m crossing over
CHORUS 1:
I’m the rain that whispers in the wind
Dancing ‘cross the stream
I fill your every thought
And every dream
Breathe me, feel me
But, love, please release me
‘Til time takes you tenderly
And brings you home to me
I send you this message
I’m right here
Where my heart waits for you
2...
I see the answer now so clearly, completely
I finally understand
This life is just another journey, precious memory
Of footprints laid in the sand
I’m crossing over
CHORUS 2:
I’m the shining star that flashes by
Light years ‘cross the sky
To sing to you a cosmic lullaby
Breathe me, feel me
But, love, please release me
‘Til time takes you tenderly
And brings you home to me
I send you this message
I’m right here
Where my heart waits for you
I’m right here
Where my heart waits for you
Now Introducing Something Completely Different...
A CD With An Incredible Story!
What if you accidentally stumbled upon
A message that had been buried for a thousand years?
A message that would rock your world
Right into the next Millennium?
Prepare to embark on a
Journey of the Spirit

New Age, Cosmic, Meditation Music -
Journey of the Spirit
is the very first musical CD to come with its
own story: a positive, inspiring, motivational,
mystical, spiritual story of one man's search
for enlightenment, cosmic consciousness
awakening and inner peace. The COMPLETE
story comes with the CD. Music written,
arranged, and peformed by Gary Pecorella.
"Journey of the Spirit" CD: Pianist Gary Pecorella has lovingly crafted an uplifting collection of compositions with accompanying text chronicling the transformation of one 'spiritual crusader'. Journey of the Spirit is gentle and mellow, meant to not stir up the soul so much as soothe it. The melodic 'Letting Go' hints of contemporary composer Michael Nyman. 'Fragile Planet' and 'Lullabye of the Midnight Sun' are refreshing sonic tonics to ease the unrest of everyday life."
