Isn't Real
04:53
|
|||
|
I was walking through the woods and had the most wonderful thought
Sadness isn't real
Anger isn't real
Depression isn' real
Anxiety isn't real
Pain isn't real
Hurt isn't real
Fear isn't real
It's all made up by us
The only thing that's real is love

The All
05:11
|
|||
|
Soaring through an open sky
I watch the way the weather changes
The wind blows to the rising tide
And weaves through the rain that sustains us all
Sustains us all
Why do I even try?
Everything works just fine when I'm not involved
The laws of nature have their way
And I am just a part of it all
CHORUS:
I am the sky
You are the breeze
I am the tide transitioning
We were once the world
We were once the world
Now who we are is the all
The ground I walk on was here before me
And it will be here long after I'm gone
The fire, it burns eternally
And I am just a part of it all
CHORUS
Who we are is the all
Is the all (x3)
Now who we are is the
Who we are is the all

Magic
04:50
|
|||
|
We are traveling 67,000 miles per hour through space
Circling the sun while it spirals the Milky Way
Yet we let the little things take up so much space
And we let ourselves down more than out
We are magic (x4)
We are revolving 500,000 miles per hour through the center
Of our galaxy yet still there's people starving
And we let the little things take up so space
We forget the rarity of the whole human race
CHORUS:
We are magic
We disappear to reveal what is concealed
We are magic
We reappear to return to what is real
We are magic (x4)
Let the magic be your heart
Let the magic be your soul
Let the magic heal your mind
And the emotions that you hold
Let the magic be your shelter
Let the magic be your home
Let the magic free your need
To be anything less than whole
CHORUS
We are magic (x4)

Baghdad By The Bay
03:02
|
|||
|
Here I sit in the dark
With a bullet to my heart
The kind you can't stop unless you lose your mind
Here I stand alone
It's me against the world
I thought I was fine until I lost my mind
CHORUS:
The fires in the night
They are responsible
They light up the way to what is possible
The truth lies behind the burning flame
Of Baghdad by the Bay
Here I am just a man
One in a billion who fight for the rights
Of our women and children
We are born into a system that is using
Taxes from the middle class to maintain vacant buildings
CHORUS
Here I pledge allegiance to a flag
Full of separation with your participation
You are free at last to take a chance
In the United States of Segregation
CHORUS (x2)

Horizon Of Our Souls
04:23
|
|||
|
Read between the lines
And you will surely find
There's no secret to be discovered
The deeper your mind uncovers
The truth in you
The truth in you
Realities folding
The past that you're holding onto
Isn't you
There's an inner knowing
And the doors of perception
Are closing in on you
CHORUS:
The new moon rises
As the dusk waits for the dawn
The twilight glows just below
The horizon of our souls
Between daylight and darkness
Is the place where we feel safe
What are you waiting for?
What are you hoping for?
The truth is in you
What are you waiting for?
What are you hoping for?
The truth lives in you
CHORUS
What are you waiting for?
What are you hoping for?
The truth lives in you

Save Yourself
03:46
|
|||
|
Sometimes I fall through the cracks in the floor
Sometimes I lose when I choose the wrong door
Sometimes I don't want to be here anymore
When you've lost the feeling you lose yourself
CHORUS:
We are the saviors of the world
Don't you know you gotta save yourself first?
We are the saviors of the world
Don't you know you gotta save yourself first?
Sometimes I stop at the base of the mountain
Sometimes I'm too frightened to drink from the fountain
Sometimes what I need just isn't here anymore
When you've lost the feeling you lose yourself
CHORUS
We are the saviors (x3)
We are the saviors of the world
Sometimes you're here and sometimes you're not
Sometimes you're all that I've got
Sometimes you're the devil and sometimes you're God
When you've got the feeling don't fool yourself
CHORUS
We are the saviors of the world
We gotta save ourselves first
We are the saviors of the world
Yeah, we gotta save ourselves first

Manifest Destiny
03:13
|
|||
|
What if I made something out of nothing
What if I dreamed so big I already had it
What if I turned all of my dreams into amazing things
Could I stretch my wings and fly high in the sky
Calling all you astronauts
Space is so far and the earth is right under our feet
We are the impossible
Calling all you pioneers
What's done is done
Let's chase the new frontier
We only do the impossible here
They said we couldn't drive
So we invented the wheel
They said we couldn't fly
So we flew our planes into tall buildings
They said we should be afraid
So we built our caves
And hid ourselves from the rest of the world
I am the impossible
You are the impossible
We are the impossible
Yeah that's what we do
This is my manifest destiny
This is whatever I dream
This is my manifest destiny
It's what I dream
Everything I am is everything I have
Everything I want is everything I'm not
I am the impossible (x4)

Constellation
03:56
|

|
You are a constellation
You are your own creation
Every star plays a part
You are a radio station
You are pure vibration
Every face has a frequency
This is where the sky meets the earth
This is our time, our rebirth
This is where the sun meets the sea
You are divine devotion
You are every emotion
And every voice has a choice
CHORUS:
This is where the sky meets the earth
This is our time, our rebirth
This is where the sun meets the sea
This is our time to make history
As the day breaks into the dawn of a new you
The empathy of the earth bring you into truth
The fire, wind and water come to rescue
You are the destination
Your own revelation
Every second is a celebration
The moment you surrender to the highest you
For the highest good of all
You are a constellation
CHORUS

Cast your cares on the mother
And she will sustain you
She will never let the righteous be shaken
Holy spirit wake me up from the slumber of nullity
Holy angels take me into arms of good company
‘Cause I’m stuck in conceit
And I’m praying holy spirit come into me
And I’m filled with greed and jealousy
Of the ones I hold closest to me
CHORUS:
Cast your cares on the mother
And she will sustain you
She will never let the righteous be shaken
Cast your cares on the mother
She will never blame you
She will embrace you until you awaken
Holy spirit I can feel you every time that I believe
Holy ghost you bring closer to the heaven inside of me
And I’m healing my need to have anything else
Than what you’ve given me
And I’m reaching a state far beyond the waves
Of consciousness and gravity
CHORUS
Until you awaken (x4)
Now I am awakened (x4)
CHORUS
Until you awaken (x4)
Now I am awakened (x4)

Broken Open Heart
05:55
|
|||
|
Now that I've got my heart open what do I do
It hurts so much more now that it all breaks through
The wall that took me a lifetime to build
Came crumbling down
How do I feel fulfilled
CHORUS:
I'll bathe in the pain and wash it away
To stay in the embrace of love
I'll bathe in the pain and wash it away
To stay in the embrace of love
My mother was selfless, my father so selfish
I'm a little bit of both
I feel so helpless when I can't expell
The thoughts that put my heart on hold
So God give me strength, I pray in your name
To keep me safe and whole
'Cause I don't need to be wealthy as long as I'm healthy
As long as I feed my soul
CHORUS
La da da da, la da da da, la da la da
La da da da, la da da da, la da la da
I'm not saying I'm not happy, I'm not saying I'm ungrateful
For the wonderful life I've been given
I feel so blessed though I must confess
That sometimes I forget I'm divine
Now some drink whiskey, beer and wine
To leave their troubles behind
Me, I drink the love from the mother's milk
That's endlessly flowing inside
CHORUS (x2)

Violet Hue
03:22
|
|||
|
CHORUS:
Your violet hue seeps right through
The hole in my heart when we're apart
And the madness in me turns to violet blue green
When our colors combine I thrive
I'm a truth seeker and I'm eager
To let our love grow
Your my rose in the cold winter snow
I'm chosen yet I'm frozen
As the ice starts to flow into water
Your beauty's exposed and I'm home
CHORUS
The earth beneath me holds the water that feeds
My roots that bring me into full bloom
I swoon at the sun as the air fills my lungs
Each breath makes more room for your love
And I'm whole
CHORUS
I am the mystery I seek
You are the miracle who sets me free
From the chains that hold my soul
And prevent the real me from escaping
So I sing with you my love
My violet being
My everything

Fear Without Love
05:30
|
|||
|
Love is simple
Love is pure
Love is the answer
Love is the cure
Love is peace
Love is free
As free as the fear
That brought you here
CHORUS:
Fear without love is an angel without wings
Fear without love is a heaven that never sings
Fear without love is a castle without walls
Love without fear isn't really love at all
Fear is death
Fear is doubt
Fear is the hurt
You can't live without
Fear is expectation
Fear is separation
Fear is the hell
That you give yourself
CHORUS

I am but a muse of the music. My voice sings from my heart. My hands play guitar from my soul. My songs find their way from the divine into my mind. A miracle in every word. Poetry in every part. I am light in the dark.
