Introspection and Reflection:
Many lyrics delve into introspection, pondering life's purpose, choices, and the impact of one's actions.
Themes of memory, legacy, and the search for meaning are explored.
Freedom and Resilience:
Imagery of flight, open landscapes, and breaking free from constraints symbolizes personal freedom, resilience, and the pursuit of one's destiny.
These themes collectively create a tapestry of philosophical, emotional, and spiritual insights, often grounded in vivid natural imagery and personal reflection.
The lyrics convey several messages about change, emphasizing its inevitability, challenges, and transformative potential. Key messages include:
Embracing Change:
Change is portrayed as a natural and unavoidable part of life, symbolized by tides, waves, and the passage of time. Lyrics like "you have to make your way for the changes" and "things don't happen unless you're in the groove" encourage proactive adaptation to life's shifts.
Resilience and Growth:
Change is often linked to personal growth and resilience. Lyrics such as "failure to adapt when the times have changed don't say much for my survival" highlight the importance of evolving to thrive in new circumstances.
Letting Go:
The lyrics stress the need to release what weighs you down, as seen in "shed your skin starting today, free yourself from what weighs you down." This reflects the idea that embracing change requires letting go of the past.
Uncertainty and Opportunity:
Change is depicted as unpredictable yet full of possibilities. Lines like "wish upon a star or flip a coin, chances are you'll have to bust a move" suggest that while outcomes may be uncertain, taking action is necessary to create opportunities.
Nature as a Metaphor for Change:
Natural imagery, such as waves washing away or the ebb and flow of tides, symbolizes the cyclical and transformative nature of change. This reinforces the idea that change is both inevitable and renewing.
Spiritual and Philosophical Reflections:
Change is tied to spiritual growth and self-discovery, as seen in lyrics like "let go and let God, he can show you the way." This suggests that faith and introspection can help navigate life's transitions.
Acceptance and Adaptation:
The lyrics encourage acceptance of change and adapting to new realities, as expressed in "rolling rocks in the water don't stay locked in place, and after time they look polished." This metaphor highlights the beauty and refinement that can emerge from enduring life's challenges.
Overall, the lyrics convey that change, while often difficult, is essential for growth, renewal, and discovering one's path in lif

the swarm
oh lord, i want to be a prophet. do as you will do. be what you want.
take a stand. last night i was sitting around feeling down
and i decided to wander. reached deep down inside and started to cry
every minute i cried a little harder i cried a little longer
i turned myself inside out and i began to fly
crazy, crazy nut jobs all around me change and change
from the start it's evolution that plays the part and they burned down rome
just a foolish blunder build it and then plunder
what sets us apart from the caveman the steps that we take
and more thunder i can't imagine what the lord says more than i should of
had of even i give, i give them a place. and they act like children,
every race i don't know the answer to the question
even if i did, it wouldn't matter. someone would find a reason to explode.
even nature's is a privilege, why would you? search to twist the wonder
a gift from god and they plunder even the meaning's bastardized
don't they know it holds the spirit that are the handprints of god yet alive
we share in a common destiny we thank the creator and learn from its guide
how can you hear
in the minds eye when you surround yourself with lies
walking with the spirit takes time a great mountain will rise
the pain will subside and you will learn to live and live to learn
without the noise last night i was sitting around feeling down
and i decided to wonder
2. oh canada whatever your name
like romancing a stone oh, canada land where my fathers died can you hear them? can you hear their? metis cry
oh canada, whatever be thy name no matter i use your present name
for your nation pride and i'm not worthy to speak of your ancient times
for your labor pains were shared by the usa
and the children born of your people
spread your seed in the heart of america oh, canada
please forgive me, i am a child of both sides,
but my true allegiance is to my native father.
over land or by sea i will come too much, too much
my lady, i just can't get enough
like romancing a stone oh, canada land where my fathers died
can you hear them? can you hear their?
metis cry oh canada whatever be thy name no matter i use your present name
for your nation pride and i'm not worthy to speak of ancient times
for your labor pains were shared by the usa and the children born
of your people spread your seed in the heart of america.
oh, canada, please forgive me. i am a child of both sides.
but my true allegiance is to my native father.
dirty cans and broken bottles fish line and plastic blowing
in the wind she picks up all the garbage and lines up some pretty shells
she's truly one of god's children. i wonder if she's aware a simple soul in her forties, but you couldn't tell by her clothes. even her face kinda glows but she's pasty she must stay at home I'm kinda sad i didn't tell her she's special if the world would be like her there would be no wars feast or famine or pollution
she respects and shares all she knows i know that heaven will have a special place and maybe one day she'll hear this song as i watch her go,
she puts her hand out to a seagull as to say hello, hello then she pulls away with her mother at the wheel she was an elderly woman with a cloak of her own and i thought to myself, even though i was ten how lucky,
how lucky for this mother to have a rose dirty cans and broken bottles, fish line and plastic blowing in the wind, she picks up all the garbage and lines up some pretty shells, she's truly one of gods children wonders if she's a aware a simple soul in her forties you couldn't tell by her clothes even her face kinda glows but she's pasty she mostly stays at home kinda sad i didn't
tell her she is special to the world
it reminds him of yesterday just like me, he writes it down
puts it in a song to help him remember the big picture at the sea ,
i went home with a song so excited i looked through some old pictures, you see
and i found some of you and me i compared the horizon and the sea
what i saw was my granddaughter and me the place was the same,
just different names it was truly the big picture. and you and me
i can smell the smell of the ocean. brings
back pictures when i was young. hours and hours of playing in the sun.
wishing and hoping
for the future pictures, of pictures of me my brother and sister by the sea,
now i see the big picture how the time go by i sit by the bay
and the skimmer goes by
and i gaze into the water picture the big picture can you see? it's all about
the children by the sea and there's a man over there sitting in a chair he's watching the children play it reminds him of yesterday just like me
he writes it down, puts in a song
to help him remember the big picture at the sea
i went home with a song so excited
i looked through some old pictures you see and i found some of you and me i compared the horizons and the sea what i saw was my granddaughter and me the place was the same,
just different names it was truly the big picture and you and me.
think i'll go fishing fly a kite or just stay here and write
if i think too deep i'll wonder why people can't live
while their alive i'm not talking about conception i'm not talking about how to drive i'm talking about the river ride
something romantic about a paddle wheel boat something majestic
about a sail sailing the sea but when i see some fool making a way all i see
is the me in me if the ride a river and just say no to reality
you'll always be blind if they ride
the river and see the real possibility you'll question your mind
and sometimes say why
i don't understand the death and destruction, but i rode the river and questioned
my time and i find myself to realize some things in life make perfect sense and sometimes my friend there's a prize
at the bottom of the cracker jack box like the seahorse on the bottom of the sea think i'll go fishing or fly a kite or just stay here and write
if i think too deep i wonder why people can't live while they're alive
i'm not talking about conception i'm not talking about how to drive
i'm talking about the river ride
took a walk to wonder turned around to walk back to write it down
there in the midst of the evening after the sun sets the stars rise
it's hard to fathom it's hard to realize how god put them there
numbers in the skies black holes, and pulsars even megastars ten times ten
to a million the sight is there someone out there something of surprise
chances are endless possibilities that they're wise
beautiful angels with sparkles in their eyes is there wonder out there
is there wonder in the night you best believe me
there is nothing left to changes the proof is in the sky so after the sunset
look at the numbers the possibilities are endless like the number
of star in the skies there is wonder before this moment there is wonder
before my eyes there is wonder in the evening skies
took a walk to wonder turned around to walk back to write it down
there in the mist of the evening sky after the sun sets
the stars rise it's hard to fathom
it's hard to realize how god put them there the numbers in the skies
black holes and pulsars even megastars ten times ten
to a million the size, is there something out there,
something up to try? the chances are endless,
the possibilities that they're wise.
beautiful angels with twinkles in their eyes
is there wonder out there? is there wonder in the night?
you best believe me there is nothing left to chances
the proof is in the sky so after the sunset
look at the numbers, the possibilities are endless
like the number of stars in the sky
7. you sold your devil to the soul
chasing women, driving crazy. you sold your devil to your soul
now you're down and out.
half crazy, hitchhiking to albacurky with nowhere to go.
and you ask me for my help but you're out of luck you've got work to do you haven't suffered enough you've sold your devil to your soul
you finally found a game cause your pockets are empty and you can't afford your habit of snow of snow so you break your back digging
ditches on a wage prevailing job so so you get a big paycheck
you can blow you count your money after the weekend ...
you just don't know you sold your devil to your soul now your broke again now your broke again open your pockets and dig your grave witch after your bing on skid row tell me about it that's how i lived a long
time ago when i, when i had enough jesus said i'll buy your devil and clean your soul so carry on young man, your man till you've had enough but i can see your laughing at me. you're not ready to cut lose your devil.
so devil whiskey drinking, smoking cigarettes.
8. the swarm
the soul finds refuge in the foothills
and the eyes of forgiveness blaze your trail they set their table
and consume with greedy open your arms and feed the needy
there's always food for the thoughtful mind so the question to answer
how do they know to follow? is the leader of the swarm
a target to throw the evil from the trail? the only problem
the mass that follows only follow for a time and a new leader
takes his turn everyone in nature gets to lead and follow for a time.
every soul's got a feeding frenzy, not the kind that swarms with envy. you gotta place yourself in solitude. while the swam plays king of whatever
the soul finds refuge in the foothills and the eyes of forgiveness blaze your trail they set their table and consume with greedy open your arms
and feed the needy theirs always food for the thoughtful mind so the question
to answer how do they know to follow is the leader of the swarm a target
to throw evil from the trail

lordy, lordy lordy, lordy, lordy you, truth and justice follow you
kings of kings only the father before you and your spirit lives in every man
that accepts your plan and honors you for what you did
lordy, lordy, lordy, lordy, lordy, lordy, lordy,
it was an irony for those that drove nails through your hands
imagine their faces when they found out

as they brutalized your body and you said
father forgive them for they know not what they do.
lordy, lordy, lordy, king of man.
lordy, lordy, lordy, lordy,

if i say that i love you would you believe
knowing the distance is hard to conceive we are worlds apart
like fall and spring one in my
hands one in my hearts its more than words or wishes
or a meal on a dish and how can i pray cause i don't know if it's right or wrong
that i can't say if it stays this way
i'll be torn into but happiness does not lie no other way
cause a broken heart is the
price i pay for the world i'll choose for the world i choose
to come this way, for a man that has love in his hands, and a special place.for another part is so hard what can i do, what can
i say do you feel this way as i go, as i sit by the bay
wonder if it happened to be with
a bird i see a fish in the sea whether right or wrong
how would they know cause for them it
wouldn't be natural and that i'd say is the end of the day
if i say i love you would you believe knowing the distance
is hard to conceive we are worlds apart like fall
and spring one in my hand one in my heart
it's more than words or wishes
i could sit here all day and waste away listening for you.
sometimes i just don't know what to do so i simply say
speak to me in your own way
won't you speak to me and let me know
i will follow, will follow, if you tell me so
i will listen to everything i hear i'll listen to the wind
i'll listen to the waves i'll listen to the rain
i'll listen to the birds and beas and i listen to the voice
in me tell me, tell me so speak to me with all you know
i could sit here all day long listen to whatever i see
for they tell you don't you know every picture tells a story
i see pictures in the sky i see pictures in my mind's eye
i see pictures of you and me in the reflection
in the sea there was a time there was a place there was a picture
and no sign that says there's a power greater than you and me
reaching out to see tell me father, tell me son
tell me brother, are we all one?
12. oh canada whatever be thy name
no matter i use your present name for your nation pride
and i'm not worthy to speak of your ancient time
for your labor pains were shared by the usa and the children
born of your people spread your seed in the heart of america oh, canada
please forgive me, i am a child of both sides, but my true allegiance
is to my native father over land
or by sea i will come too much, too much my lady, i just can't get enough
like romancing a stone oh, canada land where my fathers died
can you hear them? can you hear their?
metis cry oh canada whatever be thy name no matter
i use your present name
for your nation pride and i'm not worthy to speak of ancient times
for your labor pains were shared by the usa and the children born
of your people spread your seed in the heart of america.
oh, canada, please forgive me. i am a child of both sides.
but my true allegiance is to my native father.
13. running hands
with the sound of a gun. running my hands through my hair
in the shower running my hands in the shower
three in the morning. i can stay here for hours
. no where to go i don't drink anymore
i don't drink anymore i can feel the war hold on i can feel the war
hold on let me go, yesterday's gone
twenty years, dry as a bone i don't walk without a home
all i want to do is rome
and smell the fruit of the flower ho ho ho by the hour
i sing this song in the shower
and i close my eyes and dance with the wind make love to the water
now i got myself dressed
faced with this now i beat the pavement for a shot of coffee
glad i don't smoke take a toke
life is fun with no monkeys on my back but it's me that i free
looking looking for a moment
from a past haunted with the sound, with the sound of a gun
running my
running my hands through my hair in the shower its three in the morning.
i can stay here for hours woa woa.
nowhere to go i don't drink anymore woa woa hold on I can feel along another lowwoho whyhohow let me go,
yesterday's gone twenty years, dry as a bone i don't walk without a home
all i want to do is rome and smell the fruit of the flower woa ho ho by the hour i sing this song in the shower
and i close my eyes
i say with a mighty roar i say with a mighty roar
i say with a mighty roar
i say with a fist in my hand i say with a fist in my hand
gotta break down these walls im in looking gotta be a better plan
gotta be a better plan it's just not enough it's just not enough
this is this is no way to live i cant be the only one i cant be the only one
that's sees were leaking like a sieve. everything's at stake you need
everything's at stake no matter what you do, it feels like a mistake.
so i say, say it now, here and now, i'm making my final stand
it's all or nothing i'm not i'm not dealing with no man out of sight and out of mind
i'm not in the feeding frenzy i'm taking the path of least resistance.
i'm taking the path of least resistance. but if that means walking strait
or tearing down walls i'll do whatever it takes to set the stage
if you see the diamonds in my eyes or if or if i find the golden clam
it not for my sake its for the sake of man in terms of the size of the prize
please understand its not the giant he's not a giant its for the pebble and slingshot
in my hand i say with a mighty roar i say with a mighty roar
i say a fist in hand
gotta break down these walls i'm in gotta be a better plan.
it's just not enough this is no way to live i can't be only one
that sees a vision like i see
dirty cans and broken bottles fish line and plastic blowing in the wind
she picks up all the garbage and lines up some pretty shells
she's truly one of god's children
i wonder if she's aware a simple soul in her forties
but you couldn't tell by her clothes her face kinda glows
but she's pasty she must stay at home
i'm kinda sad i didn't tell her she's special if the world would be like her
there would be no wars feast or famine or, pollution,
she respects and shares all she knows.
i know that heaven will have a special place. maybe one day
she'll hear this song.
as i watch her go she puts her hand out to a seagull as to say hello, hello
then she pulls away with her mother at the wheel she was an elder woman
with a glow of her own and i thought to myself even though i was ten
how lucky, how lucky for this mother to have a rose
dirty cans and broken bottles fish line and plastic, blowin' in the wind
she picks up all the garbage and lines up some pretty shells she's truly one of god's children wonder if she's aware
a simple soul in her forties couldn't tell by her clothes
even her face kinda glows
but she's pasty she mostly stays at home kinda sad
i didn't tell her she's special to the world
16. i was gone
i was gone stone cold sober harking back to a time
thought i was the prophet of hope
i was searching the sky from inside a gazebo saw a skylight had a swing inside
swung up to heaven by the ropes that bind written on the sides
welcome father gaze and you will see
a field of dreams touches heaven the hopes and dreams
for the future and to keep them alive a lighthouse in the harbor
past a bowie you will find
the harbor seal what is sealed the secrets of heaven
yesterday is only but a time
reality turned upside down and the feeling arise
so you fell off your horse for a time
you can still ride look to the horizon even if you see a mirage
that will get you by to the oasis how i love the sky
if only if i'm gone stone cold sober i will rise
and i know with hope inside i will rise does that make me a prophet of hope
and as i leave i see a feather this must be a sign
something to follow i was gone stone cold sober harkin' back to a time
thought i was the prophet of hope i was searching'
one thing in life you'll never forget one thing in life you'll never forget
one thing in life you'll never regret all that i can ask for
is that one thing? if all the words i know made perfect sense
if i could write the perfect song every word would stand tall
every word would fall in place
the meaning would be grace and the time would be now
for this moment in all of time
if i could capture that rhyme one thing is life you'll never forget
are the words i love you there's nothing to compare
the meaning stands tall for all of time and place
it will always stay the same if i could write the perfect song
every word would stand tall every word would fall in place
the meaning would be grace and the time would be now
for this moment in all of time
if i could capture that rhyme one thing is life you'll never forget
are the words i love you there's nothing to compare
the meaning stands tall for all of time and place
it will always stay the same even though theirs many ways of saying
i love you just simply love you it's something that lasts
all lifelong even if you take it back
the fact remains the same if you meant it when you said it
it rings true, just the same
i love you i love you what then comes before
i'm sorry listen to me my child my darling,
and many more i love you i love youi I simply love you.

1. lone drifter
lone, lone drifter nomad of the desert and the stars
fading away fading away without the love i need to heal me
if only a star i could follow to save my heart that would be a star
sometimes stars and signs don't always point to matters of the heart
and again, old, drifters
the love we steal is in the wind and so it sounds the tumbleweed the sidewinder the lone singer next to a cactus when i see the turquoise in the pebbles
in the sand, i see the turquoise in her eyes. and over there sitting on a rock with her hair down to there braided silk like the mane of a thundering mare.
Oh how i like pining and i dare dream.
of her lying nest to me when i die it will say that old lonely drifter
loved romancing a mirage lone lone drifter nomad of the desert
and the stars fading away fading away
without the love i need to heal me if only a star i could follow
to save my heart that would be a start that would be a start
but sometimes stars and signs don't always point to matters
of the heart then again for drifters the love we seek is in the wind and so the signs a tumbleweed a sidewinder lone singer next to a cactus when i see the turquoise in the pebble in the sand
i've seen the turquoise in her eyes and over there, sitting on a rock with her hair down to there crazy silk, silk shining like the mane of a thunderous mare
the wind is howling tonight
the skies are gray winter's not that far away i'll be waiting
for my friends only the bold and strong survive sometimes illusively
if you ever saw the harrier hawk you will know why
they say the lion is the king of the forest well the eagle is
the king of the sky and old men put out to pasture have their own
freedom now the meadows are my forum and my friends fly
in the sky and my mentor is the wind whistling by
you can't take a picture it's a state of mind it's part of
your soul part of your mind's eye there are many
abode on the meadows in midwinter you'll find one of
its own i once saw a mongolian throat singer
on top of desolate mountain i could hear in his voice he
captured it on state in every flying star in every
cloud and the starfish in the sea for old men put out
to pasture there is a sense, the meaning of life
it's in bold and subtle seen in bold and subtle seen the wind is
howling tonight the skies are gray winter's not that
far away i'll be waiting for my friend, only the bold and
strong survive. music
please don't hate me my friend for something someone did way back when
i understand your anger i can assure you there's a fire
and it burns through out the chain in every war and every family
in a white man with native blood i'm a child of the depression
i'm a poor man even though you say i'm privileged
but i'm a free man like you to many laws and regulations
to much corruption and war to many home grown and disillusioned
to many people get caught up in the game if you find yourself disillusioned
you can find a higher power if you walk in the dark seek in shelter
then walk in a park to please the eye
its been said so many times it's been said to be happy you must feed your desires but in the end it's a thing
called love and life and sacrifice every strong man lifts some weight. it's not how much it get you, it's
not how you take. it's how much you lift your brother for jesus sake.
4. salem witch
saw a scarecrow at the door on his way out
he don't wanna live here anymore leaves are turning people disappearing
only the wind comes around anymore there's a witch in salem
i can feel her at my door she's got a hold on all my neighbors
whispers and innuendos galore you can't trust your shadow
she put a spell on this town now she's trying to put a spell on me
everything is upside down and their speaking in tongues
they think i don't know what they say but it don't matter anyway they're just irrational lies made to fool me before the scarecrow
left town he told me she'll put a fear in you and you’ll believe
in her lies when you fall for her she'll steal yours soul
you must save this town and burn her to the ground
like a gin bottle once she spreads this evil it will break out
in a plague and were all and all will be gone
saw a scarecrow saw a scarecrow at the door on his way out
he don't wanna live here anymore leaves are turning people disappearing
only the wind comes around anymore there's a witch in salem
i can feel her at my door she's got a hold on all my neighbors
whispers and innuendos galore you can't trust your shadow
she put a spell on this town now she's trying to put a spell on me
everything is upside down and their speaking in tongues everything is upside down and their speaking in tongues
she put a spell on this town now she's trying to put a spell on me
everything is upside down and their speaking in tongues
5. standing here above the fray
standing here above the fray i see clearly now to take a bow
for the love of you is what i must do and even now i can't wait
to follow my heart beyond the horizon with you
i can't turn back the sands of time has sealed my fate you cannot unsee the golden gate like children of love playing so is the end of time beyond the walls so you drank your wine and ate the plate and you dance
the night till you fell then you spent your time getting right and it took you to another time and place and like the pearly gates you climb and now you cant
escape but that's not what you want it's here that you stay i walked beyond the horizon and fell for you but you think i talk of a person but i talk of a place you cannot unsee the golden gate like children of love playing so is the end of time beyond the walls so you drank so you drank your wine and ate the plate
and you dance the night till you fell then you spent your time getting right and it took you to another time and place and like and like the pearly gates
you climb and now you can't escape but that's but that's not
what you want it's here that you stay i walked
beyond the horizon and fell for you but you think
i talk of a person but i talk of a place
far off in the
distance i see a light, it sparkles and shines and is
illuminating the night. she shows of to lovers in
the man on the moon. in the morning on the horizon.
there comes a beam glistening in the new day majestic
to save the least even the shadow it casts are awesome
and in the middle of the day, when it's raining
there's a rainbow multicolored across the sky, like a flag
calling but there is no sight so pleasing than when
the sun sets in the evening as if to bless the day
and its wonders oh, if to say till we meet again
tonight we know that life gives life and warms the
earth and connects us to the universe we say it's
deep in me and shining we call god the light for a
reason far off in the distance i see a light it
sparkles and shines and illuminates the night she
shows up to lovers in the night in the man on the
moon and in the morning on our horizon there comes
a beam glistening a new day majestic to say the least
even the shadows it cast are awesome and in the middle
of the day when it's raining there's a rainbow
multicolored across the sky like a flag calling but
there is no sight so pleasing and when the sun sets
in the evening that's it, to bless the day and it's
wonderful to say till we meet again tonight till we
meet again tonight
7. they were words not often said
they were words not often said and they are words not often spread
but the image of them brings back a time of romance
in my head why don't you stay with me? why don't you lay with me?
we will make love till the morning light
words i wish upon the wild are not often said was was he too drunk?
was he too shy? was he too mixed up in the head
and there was the fourth of july we kissed for the first time
we were just kids and i held you hand
at the rocky picture show i remember it so and at the time
we danced all night and in the moonlight we made love
on the sand dune but the best of all was the night i held you tight
and i said to you why don't you lay with me?
why don't you stay the night? we will make love till the morning light
we will make love till the morning light they were words not often said
and they are words not often spread but the image of them
bring back a time of romance in my head why don't you stay with me
why don't you lay with me? we will make love till the morning light
words i wish to ponder why are not often said
was he too drunk? was he too shy? was he too mixed up in the head?

11. what they say about this country
what they say about this country what they say
is all in their head generations have walked here
generations have been fed they worked the land
they gathered the fruit they hunted the banes
and they worked till they bled and they raised a family
and shed bread what they say about this country
is all in their head i took a hayride when i
was a kid played king of the mountain and cut my head
i stood with my family in the midst of the dead
i know of the ones that came across the mountain
i know of the founders and i know of the ones who married the ones
that were here they bonded in trade with fears
and tears i know of the ones over land
i know of the wars over man what they say about this
country is all in their head if they don't consider
the multitude that are dead with all that we know and all
that has happened i hope in the future we get it right
that's what i say about this country that's what's in my
head what they say about this country what they
say is all in their head generations have walked here
generations have been fed. they worked the land,
they gathered the fruit, they hunted the bands,
and they worked till they bled. they raised a family and
they broke the bread. what they say about this country
is all in their head. it took a hayride when i was
a kid i played king of the mountains and i cut my head
and i stood with my family in the midst of the dead
what they say about this country what they say is
all in their head.
a struggle to life take me up to the mountain open my eyes
from dust to dust lead me to take flight
throw my ashes over a cliff in this life
and if i be lucky, i thinks i will rise
went to the edge of humanity and been given a gift
like pandoro's box i look inside. it was the gift of insight
to see a bird in flight a hairier hawk
over the meadows, from dust to dust in every possible scene
but the one out of sight is still in flight
if you look beyond the mountain and you're look beyond the sky
the way you get there ashes blown by the wind
there is on the wings of a phinex way up in the sky
from dust to dust in ever possible scene
every man is an out low sometimes in this life
the roads are many and many lights
sometimes you miss the stop signs and get lost to the fire
a struggle to the heart a struggle to life
take me up to the mountains open my eyes from dust to dust
lead me to take flite throw my ashes over the cliff
and if i be lucky i things i will rise i went to the edge
of humanity and given a gift

raging waters
and the story's not over till it's time as i sit
by the water i wonder the endless meadows and streams one can find it occurred to me as if a dream it's a shelter for the water in its time
for for flows flows for she for she for she flows along her
twist and turns and wines as we go down our river this too in time and i see a bird
a bird over in the sky she reminds me of a lover and how weand how we did fly and how we did fly under cover under cover and shelter in my mind. now take this water and drink my fill. and spray upon me the droplets refresh my soul with moments of special time and let the light shine through the droplets and warm me like a lover for the rest of my life and a wish, i wish for another like the blow of a kiss. it spreads, it shines. and the story's not over till it's time as i sit by the water i wonder the endless meadows and streams one can find it occurred to me as if in a dream it's a shelter for the water in its time for she flows along her twists and turns and winds. as we go down our river, this two in time. and i see a bird, hover in the sky she reminds me of a lover and how we did fly
where the land meets the sea that's where i will be where we grow to our feet to be warriors to concur the land with a staff in our hand and rise from the tide to be fishers of men
in the days of the prophets and stories were told in the days of men and warriors and them that were bold of men and warriors some walked back to sea to escape tyranny and one even walked on water
we are called to the world stand up as men and some like me go back to the sea it is them that fly in the sky by the water that attracts me there all the warriors to be sometime justified
and me i would rather fly if only in my eyes where the land meets the sea that's where i will be where we crawled to our feet to be warrior's to concur the land with a staff in our hand and rise from the tide to be fishers of men
in the days of the prophets the stories were told in the days of men and warrior's and them that were bold some walked back to sea to escape tyreny and one even walked on water
we are called to be bold to stand up as men and some like me go back to the sea it is them that fly in the sky by the water that attracts me there all the warriors to be sometime justified
and me i would rather fly if only in my eyes where the land meets the sea that's where i will be where we crawled to our feet to be warriors where we crawled to our feet to be warriors
if i say that i love you would you believe knowing
the distance is hard to conceive we our worlds apart like fall and spring one in my
hand one in my heart its more than words or wishes or a meal or a dish and how can i pray cause i don't know if it's right or wrong and i can say if it stays this way i'll be torn in two but happiness does not lie no other way cause a broken heart is the price i pay for the world i choose for the world i choose to come this way, for a man that has love in his hands, and a special place. for another part in in this old heart what can i do, what can
i say do you feel this way as i go, as i sit by the bay wonder if it happened to be with a bird i' see a fish in the sea whether right or wrong how would they know cause for them it
would be natural and that i'd say is the end of the day if i say i love you would
you believe knowing the distance is hard to conceive we are worlds apart like fall
and spring one in my hand one in my heart it's more than words or wishes
halfway from here to there in the distance lies the answer
to our existence in a burning bush i see a voice talks to me
i am who i am if you ask me who i am there's a mountain i see where it's said to be a man with commands given to thee
and what's written on them is laws to obey in our time of existence and you say to me you know the way than answer
me this by whose authority a burning bush or a old holy man coming down a mountain and i say why not the sea for the answer to me lies in the tide
the ebb and flow of the the creatures from there the the mountain rise and men do fish and the rising tide brings life to the bay and from all I can tell from the water from the water comes the stream that has feed the mountain man and the burning bush the burning bush
i am
who i am if you ask me who i am there's a mountain man i see where it's said to be
a man with commands, give it to thee and what's written on them is laws to obey in our time
of existence and you say to me you know the way then me this by whose authority a burning bush or a old holy man coming down a mountain and i say why not the sea for the answer to me lies in the tide
the ebb and flow of the the creatures
even when the evil that lies waiting in the
crow align luck lives upon a chain where black and white reside
controversy is inside. the controversy inside. the controversy inside.
the black and white that resides what is left to live to keep the chain alive the link of the chain where the demons hide for to pull the weeds the plant will die so let them live till harvest time so a shiver is felt to the spine and the battle
rages where eagles fly the nest is ground zero for the would be thief and hope is a thing for a maiden flight, for in the end some will
survive and you' will see the osprey dive and you’ll wonder how it is in talons he holds the precious price the food that give the eagle eyes ten times our sight and why they know
exactly where the bodies lye evil that lies waiting in the
crow the luck lives upon a chain where black and white reside
controversy is inside.where controversy inside. the controversy inside.
the black and white that resides what is left to live to keep the chain alive the link of the chain where the demons hide

and i gaze upon the water in search of maiden thought from here i will ponder till spirit touch is me and friend to it just like the sea i've got
i hear it call out to me, even in my sleep. like a lover, i yearn to meet. as this story goes, i know it's true. here i belong, part of the land, part of the land.
the sea and for i will go what's beyond the sea as it rises up to the sky if i find myself lucky someday i'll be the mountains from the sea where i cry out
of me like the eagle way up high for he knows it carries to the sky and the spirit way up high for eternity it will reign long after
i leave here in a gust of wind and eyes upon the water searching, made and taught from here i will ponder till spirit touches me i am friend to it, just like the sea
i adapt to the free flow in me i hear it call out to me even in my sleep like a lover i yearn to meet and the story goes i know it's true here i belong
part of the land, part of the sea. and for i will go what's beyond the sea as it rises up to the sky. and if i find myself lucky, someday i will be
the mountains from the sea where i cry out over me. a devil way up high, he knows he's still to die. and the spirit of the devil is still to die.
way up high for eternity it will rain long after i leave here in a gust of wind

raging water, raging water in my soul
i've been searching, i've been searching the horizon
for what i don't know but a ghost follows me and i can't
shake him so like a train wreck i'm about to lay him low
in the essence of the wind that keeps the water rising i can
tell the direction its been in and the raging water brings the bear to its
shore where the salmon reach as high as they can go? for the reasons why are in
the soul within raging waters will tell you the direction of the wind,
and the belly of the beast is the spirit of death. and even though the dead
does not live, the ghost carries the story of survival. so the answer to the
question is sown to the wind and the raging water the seed of survival
and when it time for revival the chances you take you must learn from the path that the ghost leaves behind you raging water, raging water in my soul
i've been searching, i've been searching the horizon for what i don't know
but a ghost follows me and i can't shake him so
like a train wreck i'm about to lay him low its
in the essence of the wind that keeps the water rising and there i can
tell the direction its been in and the raging water brings the bear to its
shore will the salmon reach as high as they can go?

10. street of lovers
trying to keep up with the clouds rolling down the
street where people meet to be lovers living on the edge of town
different kind of lover got his head down and covered on a hat a smell of leather and a little of the weather chasing clouds on his own
spends more time under cover friend of mind or all alone people he sees, he already knows one way or another
lost in insanity man of lamancha or me playing hide and seek with reality's what will
be his destiny king to himself yet pulper warning for you if you ever touch
the sky it can be too much to handle and you'll fall off your horse chasing empty
dreams and you'll be without a lover trying to keep up with the clouds rolling down
the streets where people meet to be lovers on the edge of town, a different kind
of lover got his head down and covered on the hat a smell of leather and
a little of the weather chasing clouds on his own spend more time und cover friend of mine or all
alone. people he sees, he already knows one way or another
lost in insanity man of lamancha or me playing hide and seek with regality what will
be his destiny king to himself yet pulper warning for you if you ever touch
the sky it can be too much to handle and you'll fall off your horse chasing empty
dreams and you'll find yourself without a lover trying to keep up with the clouds rolling down the

11. the latest rage
it's cold as hell out there if you could see
what i can see the earth is shaking under me banana republics
and ice not tea is taking over all around me one in one ends
up as three that's what's left of you and me
this is scattered to the breeze now you tell me it's the latest rage
more like rage in a cage and
they stand upon a stage a flow of lies i heard them say the native son warned of their ways the sun has risen like a blaze so it sets a ball of fire
the finial burn our finial hour thought my words have
all run out pieces scattered through out the breeze now you tell me is that the latest rage
more like rage in a cage they stand upon a stage a flow of lies i heard them say the red man warned of their ways the sun has risen like a blaze and so it sets a ball of fire
the finals burn our finial hour thought my words have
all run out but last call is here through out the land whiskey blends have all run
dry political correctness has made us die it's cold as hell out there if you could see
what i can see the earth is shaking under me banana republics
and ice not tea is taking over all around me one in one ends
up as three
12. turquoise blue
drifting away again thinking of you this world wasn't meant for people
like me an you drifting away again sky so blue miss my best friend guess it's time for a new
there's a bird out there drifting too he's a comrade with eyes turquois blue looks
so mystical he's hard to see diving all the time there in the sea now it occurred to me everyone's
drifting' in the sea like the cormorant and me and when he takes a dive he looks like me
sometimes you have to take a dive you see if you go through life with empty hands it has to be with the losing of empty-handed
for you never took that dive funny how nature goes pieces like lessons here
and through drifting away, thinking of you this world wasn't meant for people
like me and you drifting away again sky is so blue miss my best friend this
is time a new there's a bird out there drifting too he's a the tent to he's a comrade with eyes turquoise blue
13. ugly duckling
why can't they see their beautiful in flight will they end up like me realize when i lost my luster and gave up the night ugly, ducklings will fill in time
and like a flower will spread its wings if they only knew what time would bring like the church bell for it will ring and so the wave will rise and shine
and when it falls against the beach it speeds out and reach till it disappears in the sands of time building dunes or washing away and so why can't they see
it happened to be one will rise, one will fall but all the waves shine some brighter than others and the best you can ask for when you spread your soul
and i would kill thee and still the world of dunes an islands and does not wash away with the tide why can't they see their beautiful in flight will they end up like me i realized when i lost my luster and gave up the night ugly, ducklings will fill in time
and like a flower will spread its wings if they only knew what time will bring like a church bell for it will ring and so the wave will rise and shine
and when it falls against the beach it spreads out and reach till it disappears in the sands of time building dunes or washing away
ya have to make your way for the changes if you make a scene or stay too long something else is surely to come along your guess is good
as mine
that's why I say wish upon a star or four leaf clover or flip a coin chances are you'll have to bust a move things don't happen unless you're in the groove keep talking, you're still, keep telling yourself it's not over,
and you'll see what i mean i am telling myself i have to tell myself cause i'm sitting here wondering why wondering why wondering why don't make a scene, it's over
wish upon a star? wish upon a star? or four Leif clover no matter who you are no matter who you are you have to walk away standing on your own tide's coming up real fast in fact it's right up my feet
if i don't make a move, soon, it'll be too deep next thing you know, i'll be washed away what i'm trying to say, you're only lucky for so long you have to make your way for the changes if you make a scene
or stay too long, it shouldn't come along it shouldn't come along good as my guess, it's really just my wish upon a star oh, poorly proven, that's why i say wish upon a star or four leaf clover or flip a coin chances are you'll have to bust a move things don't happen unless you're in the groove keep talking, you're still, keep telling yourself it's not over,
and you'll see what i mean i am telling myself i have to tell myself cause i'm sitting here wondering why wondering why wondering why
