Trevor Hall’s music is an eclectic mix of acoustic rock, reggae and Sanskrit chanting. These are some of my favorite, meaningful song lyrics from him. Read them if you want to be inspired, moved, soothed, lifted, and brought down to earth all the same.

“Everything – all the bad, all the good, and everything in between – it’s all happening in perfect time. We may not always see the perfection, especially in the midst of our daily chaos, but when we look back, we can see … There is a spirit of time that is working everything perfectly. We can’t rush it. We can’t hold it back. We can only surrender to its unfoldment.” — Trevor Hall

Meaningful Song Lyrics about Being Alive, Courtesy of Trevor Hall

Dust

Who am I but the dust of the Most High
Drifting like a leaf in the summer sky
Hoping one day you will see, that what’s inside of you, is what’s inside of me
Who am I?
But the dust of the most high
Drifting like a leaf in the summer sky
Hoping one day you will see that what’s inside of you, is what’s inside of me

Listen to Dust.

Where’s the Love

Oh darling, dry your eyes
The world heals your cries
Pay no attention to what they may say
Tell all the demons to just go away
How can we wage war?
How can we wage it when we’re under the same sky?
We’re under the same sky

Listen to Where’s the Love.

Good Rain

If there’s a hole in your soul
You better fill it
If your cup is over flowing
Don’t spill it
You better hold it
While the whole world is spinning around
And when your eyes look down at another
Just remember that he’s your own brother
This kind of love ain’t gonna go under
I’ve found
And when you love one another
Only good rain comes down
And if you’re feeling
Like you’ve stopped learning
If the wood in your fire ain’t burning
You better sparkle a match
Start turning your wheel
You better turn in so it’s right
Start living
Stop taking and start giving
This is the one thing missing
I feel
The love of one another is the only thing real
Well don’t let your blessings turn into stone
That kind of living will leave you all alone

Listen to Good Rain.

Green Mountain State

I call on the letters in leaves
I call on the ones we don’t see
My soul is born on the wheel, yeah
No end, nowhere to begin

Listen to Green Mountain State.

Jagadeesha

They speak of a country
Ever so lovely
Inside a sound
Oh, friend, come closer
I will unfold her
Bliss all around

Come, my son!
Come, my daughter!
Come in love, come in honor!
Oh, Jagadeesha, eternal teacher
Bliss all around!

Listen to Jagadeesha.
