1.	Hajime	Play	Hajime Winter melts away, Everything undone - Wither and decay, Moss beneath the sun. And with the touch of rain on our skin, Misty dewdrops in our eyes, Mother Nature longs to begin Rituals of cool reprise. From the cracking wood, They emerge into the air. All is understood, Breathless in a prayer. Welcome to the dawning age. Plant your feet into the sand, And with careful thought engage Virile life across this land. Lyrics	Hajime Credits Music: Jillian Aversa Lyrics: Jillian Aversa Performance: Jillian Aversa Production: Jillian Aversa Engineering: Andrew Aversa Credits
2.	Red July	Play	Red July In the deep, The birds fast asleep, Black skies seem to weep. Moonlight, do we dare? Day, night - they don't care. But I'm still here. Don't pass me by. Yes I'm still here, My red July. Is it fate Our footfalls await? Blind fear turns too great. Moonlight, do we dare? Day, night - they don't care. But I'm still here. Don't pass me by. Yes I'm still here, My red July. Lyrics	Red July Credits Music: Andrew Aversa, Jillian Aversa Lyrics: Jillian Aversa Performance: Jillian Aversa Production: Andrew Aversa Engineering: Andrew Aversa Credits
3.	The Winds of Change	Play	The Winds of Change If in your dreams you're wide awake, You might be. If suddenly there's more at stake Than sand and sea, You wait for the day. You wait for the day... Call the rising sun. Call the winds of change. For our paths are one, Aren't they? And when the rain falls from above To hide me, It's in this feeling, in this love, That we will be One moment away. One moment away... Call the rising sun. Call the winds of change. For our paths are one, Aren't they? And if those threads you made do fall apart, You know you'll always have my heart. And when the mountain peak seems too high to climb, I will pull you every time. Lyrics	The Winds of Change Credits Music: Andrew Aversa, Jillian Aversa Lyrics: Jillian Aversa Performance: Jillian Aversa Production: Andrew Aversa Engineering: Andrew Aversa Credits
4.	The Secret Guards of Kale	Play	The Secret Guards of Kale In the hidden world of dreams, Where nothing is the way it seems, I went walking through the mists of morning. Passing by a sunken plain, I wandered into new domain, But voices whispering from the trees surrounded me. And they said: "Follow blindly Into Kalé, And you will wind up Lost inside. Secrets binding All the valley - The winds remind us: Move aside!" Breathing harder, senses reeling, I held onto that feeling, For it showed me I was not alone. And if ever I return, I hope too see them through the ferny glades And thank them for their words of warning. 'Cause they said: "Follow blindly Into Kalé, And you will wind up Lost inside. Secrets binding All the valley - The winds remind us: Move aside!" Lyrics	The Secret Guards of Kale Credits Music: Jillian Aversa Lyrics: Jillian Aversa Performance: Jillian Aversa Production: Jillian Aversa Engineering: Andrew Aversa Credits
5.	Wildland	Play		Wildland Credits Music: Jillian Aversa Performance: Jillian Aversa Production: Jillian Aversa Engineering: Andrew Aversa Credits
6.	Twilight Chaser	Play	Twilight Chaser Where sounds fade away, Where light cannot stay, In silence, they steep What rays you keep. Your needs come alive, (Into the shadows, go.) So pressed to survive, (Beneath the branches' sway,) The places you stir, (Onward, racing,) Twilight chaser. And in this fight, All is lost to the night. For in this race, you're facing what you dream. It's in the scheme, just out of sight. And if you win, All things left to begin, Then you know you gotta claim the day Before it slips away. The deep calls your name, (A voice that dances,) Oh, slave to the flame. (Why don't you answer it?) And yet, you prefer (Soul embracing,) "Twilight Chaser." Lyrics	Twilight Chaser Credits Music: Jillian Aversa, Andrew Aversa Lyrics: Jillian Aversa Performance: Jillian Aversa Production: Jillian Aversa, Andrew Aversa Engineering: Andrew Aversa Credits
7.	To the Forgotten Temple...	Play		To the Forgotten Temple... Credits Music: Jillian Aversa Performance: Jillian Aversa Production: Jillian Aversa Engineering: Andrew Aversa Credits
8.	Breathe and Dive	Play	Breathe and Dive Waiting, knowing - You're right on time. Drift in, flowing, To worlds sublime. You run so far away. In the mist of night, You breathe and dive. You reach the bright array, And you hold the light. You hold the light. (Breathe and dive...) Sinking, floating - You weigh the tide. Flickering, glowing, This heart inside. You run so far away. In the mist of night, You breathe and dive. You reach the bright array, And you hold the light. You hold the light. (Breathe and dive...) Lyrics	Breathe and Dive Credits Music: Jillian Aversa Lyrics: Jillian Aversa Performance: Jillian Aversa Production: Jillian Aversa Engineering: Andrew Aversa Credits
9.	Avalon	Play	Avalon Far away, sheltered by Fields of grain swept by the breeze, There's a place hidden from The lonely world I long to be... To wield the land, To hear the sea Upon the sands Of ivory. To feel your kiss Fade with the dawn, Beneath the mists, O, Avalon. Is it real or a dream, This breathing isle, this beating heart, Where the rains melt the sky In sheets of haze that they part? I wield the land, I hear the sea Upon the sands Of ivory. I feel your kiss Fade with the dawn, Beneath the mists, O, Avalon. This part of me, Secret and strange, How - through the years - Are you still unchanged? When I wake, don't let go, Haven of light, my only home. Wait a while, and once more Hold out your shores for me to roam. To wield the land, To hear the sea Upon the sands Of ivory. To feel your kiss Fade with the dawn, Beneath the mists, O, Avalon. Lyrics	Avalon Credits Music: Jillian Aversa Lyrics: Jillian Aversa Performance: Jillian Aversa Production: Jillian Aversa Engineering: Andrew Aversa Credits
10.	Shadows	Play	Shadows Figures moving under the rain... I see glowing streetlights, blurring the pain. Children on the corner, Staring as I drive away, Hand prints on the window - They all fade to gray. Have you ever seen a shadow? Have you ever known what they know? Have you ever seen a shadow, And left one behind? Shifting, changing, never the same, And the cold wind wonders how they became. Wishing for an answer, Hoping one day it'll change, Praying for the flesh and the blood to fill them. Have you ever seen a shadow? Have you ever known what they know? Have you ever seen a shadow, And left one behind? Lyrics	Shadows Credits Music: Andrew Aversa, Jillian Aversa Lyrics: Jillian Aversa Performance: Jillian Aversa Production: Andrew Aversa Engineering: Andrew Aversa Credits
11.	Deliverance of the Heart	Play	Deliverance of the Heart Into light, Into sound, Into time, Let love surround. Let love surround. Lyrics	Deliverance of the Heart Credits Game: Final Fantasy 7 Original Composer: Nobuo Uematsu Arrangement: Andrew Aversa, Jillian Aversa Lyrics: Jillian Aversa Performance: Jillian Aversa Production: Andrew Aversa Engineering: Andrew Aversa Credits

Blending exotic instrumentation with passionate and ethereal vocals, the earth comes alive as Origins invokes its new beginnings. The album, carried by Jillian's powerful voice, is a response to the lack of lyric-centric works in contemporary New Age/World music - unified by themes of mystery, plight, and catharsis. With the magic of musical storytelling, Jillian takes you on a voyage through the awakening, and invites you to celebrate in its mysteries.

2.	I Wonder As I Wander	Play	I Wonder As I Wander I wonder as I wander out under the sky How jesus, the savior, did come for to die For poor on'ry people, like you and like I. I wonder as I wander out under the sky. When Mary birthed Jesus, t'was in a cow's stall With wisemen and farmers and shepherds and all, But high in God's heaven a star's light did fall, And the promise of ages, it then did recall. If Jesus had wanted for any wee thing - A star in the sky or a bird on the wing, Or all of God's angels in heaven to sing - He surely could have it, 'cause he was the king! I wonder as I wander out under the sky How Jesus, the savior, did come for to die For poor on'ry people like you and like I. I wonder as I wander out under the sky.

3.	What Child Is This?	Play	What Child Is This? What Child is this who, laid to rest On Mary's lap is sleeping? Whom angels greet with anthems sweet, While shepherds watch are keeping? Why lies He in such mean estate, Where ox and ass are feeding? Good Christians, fear, for sinners here The silent Word is pleading. This, this is Christ the king, Whom shepherds guard and angels sing; Haste, haste, to bring Him laud, The babe, the son of Mary. So bring Him incense, gold and myrrh, Come peasant, king to own Him; The king of kings salvation brings, Let loving hearts enthrone Him. This, this is Christ the King, Whom shepherds guard and angels sing; Haste, haste, to bring Him laud, The babe, the Son of Mary. Raise, raise a song on high. The virgin sings her lullaby; Joy, joy for Christ is born, The babe, the son of Mary. Lyrics	What Child Is This? Credits Music: Traditional - arr.

4.	God Rest Ye Merry, Gentle...	Play	God Rest Ye Merry, Gentle... God rest ye merry, gentlemen; Let nothing you dismay. Remember, Christ, our saviour Was born on Christmas day To save us all from Satan's power When we have gone astray. O tidings of comfort and joy, Comfort and joy. O tidings of comfort and joy. From God our Heavenly Father A blessed angel came, And unto certain shepherds Brought tidings of the same: How that in Bethlehem was born The son of God by name. O tidings of comfort and joy, Comfort and joy. O tidings of comfort and joy. "Fear not then," said the angel, "Let nothing you affright, This day is born a saviour Of a pure virgin bright, To free all those who trust in Him From Satan's power and might." O tidings of comfort and joy, Comfort and joy. O tidings of comfort and joy. Now to the Lord sing praises, All you within this place, And with true love and brotherhood Each other now embrace; This holy tide of Christmas All other doth deface. O tidings of comfort and joy, Comfort and joy. O tidings of comfort and joy. Lyrics	God Rest Ye Merry, Gentle... Credits Music: Traditional - arr.

5.	Walking In the Air	Play	Walking In the Air We're walking in the air. We're floating in the moonlit sky. The people far below are sleeping as we fly. We're holding very tight. I'm riding in the midnight blue. I'm finding I can fly so high above with you. Children gaze, open mouthed, Taken by surprise. Nobody down below believes their eyes. Far across the world, The villages go by like dreams - The rivers and the hills, The forests and the streams. We're surfing in the air. We're swimming in the frozen sky. We're drifting over icy mountains floating by. Suddenly, swooping low, on an ocean deep, 'Rousing of a mighty monster from its sleep. We're walking in the air. We're dancing in the midnight sky, And everyone who sees us greets us as we fly. Lyrics	Walking In the Air Credits Music: Howard Blake - arr.

6.	Silent Night	Play	Silent Night Silent night, holy night, All is calm, all is bright. Round yon Virgin Mother and Child, Holy Infant so tender and mild. Sleep in heavenly peace. Sleep in heavenly peace. Silent night, holy night! Shepherds quake at the sight. Glories stream from heaven afar. Heavenly hosts sing Alleluia! Christ, the Saviour is born. Christ, the Saviour is born. Silent night, holy night, Son of God, love's pure light. Radiant beams from Thy holy face, With the dawn of redeeming grace. Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth. Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth. Lyrics	Silent Night Credits Music: Traditional - arr. Jillian Aversa, Andrew Aversa Performance: Jillian Aversa Production: Jillian Aversa, Andrew Aversa Engineering: Jillian Aversa, Andrew Aversa Credits

The holiday season is filled with a special kind of magic: trees glisten with freshly fallen snow, families are reunited for the traditions of gift-giving and mealtime stories, and age-old carols imbue the air. But how often do we have the chance to steep our thoughts in solitude?

Through Sand and Snow brings the listener on a nighttime journey through the aura of mystery and awe that Christmas so quietly inspires in our hearts. A vast nature surrounds us in these colder months, longing to be explored... Sometimes, it is only after we have that our own homes feel even warmer.
