Heads Up 05:01
I saw it shimmer upon your eyes It takes a while to realize Those waves of warmth flowing into me They've got be Like a light on the horizon out at sea I hope we're ready for this ecstasy I don't say much when I feel this way I wish my eyes would communicate The journeys I’d like to take with you And break all the rules We'll burn some flags and fall off our bar stools I never thought I’d act like such a fool We've got our heads up in the clouds I never heard the rains so loud We've got this window of opportunity Don't think of how it used to be And live for what tomorrow brings I feel a storm coming in again We need the rains every now and then So let’s stay warm by the fire tonight We'll be just fine We'll blow out all the cobwebs in our minds And laugh at all the bullshit that we find

Inside 06:34
Do you ever feel lucky to be alive? See only you can provide that vibe Don’t be a victim of your circumstance When you let life provide a second chance I tried and I tried and I tried to find that high And all along it was right there inside Do you ever feel you could weather any storm? See only you can be reborn I’m not a victim of my circumstance I feel this way cuz I get up and dance Humble yourself and face your struggles with a smile Love’s not far away Never walk away

If you could do anything that you want Would you float like a feather or drop like a stone? Would flowers bloom behind your every step? Could you be happy if you were alone? When I was a child I dreamt I could swim through the air For just a moment I could feel the space below I still close my eyes with all my might And try to return to those places I know If I had the power I would make us all believe In your darkest hour You can find relief There may always be a higher path to travel But when things tend to unravel There are places you can reach For if you plant a seed of live upon this earth You will find out what it's worth When it comes to be When it comes to be If I could do anything that I feel I would open up all of our hearts Let sweet love pour in And we would all shine like the sun Flow like the rivers through valleys so low And we would all grow together as one

Raindrop 05:35
Raindrop fall down on my head I can feel it but it's hard to tell if I'm alive or dead But I don't care I can see the drop fall in your palm Picture you picture me I swear I'm not the only one Girl I know you're scared Just like me I’m lonely It's my own fault For I won't give myself up For a single part of me Part of me wants to throw it all away And walk with you right through the times Until we die… But in the end I’d tear out all my hair And make a rope for you to tie into a noose To hang me while my mind would flash in and out of déjà vu Scenes with you Swingin from the highest tree Girl you know you'd sicken me But in the end it's always me Visions of blood bled from my pen Seeping into images of your tongue Soaking up his skin It’s happening again Billions of raindrops Flooding on the ground outside Shining in between Me and everything I know you far too well for your own good I swear you don't think I do But it's true Don’t worry I won't use it against you I know you far too well for my own good I see the way you look at me And I dare not stare back For fear that you might look straight past My eyes into my mind Figuring eventually breaking down This secret sacred wall You know me far too well for my own good I swear you don't think you do But it's true Don’t hesitate to challenge me It ain't nothin' but a game to me So pick a piece to play me I am king Won’t you be my queen for now?

Float 05:26
A heart is like an ocean Seems so calm without motion Beneath the surface is a world we know little about Some set sail for a million miles Some rely on another’s smile And still others will evaporate into the sky When those waters get to rough The eye of the storm is never enough You just drift on in to unknown waters Start the engines and push it harder There’s a calm after the storm The skies will be clear and the currents are warm We’ll find a way to fly Even without wings And open up ourselves to the mystery of all things As long as we remember we can float We’ll be just fine At times it seems I am lost at sea Other times you’re a part of me Either way our dreams are our own at night Some get lost behind the years Some get caught inside their fears And still others will challenge the waters that rise

Ya da da Wake up in the morning in the sun and the grass called Jah Tis I walking through this world called Jah Wake up wake up to the love called Jah Sing a pretty little song that’s been floating ‘round the mind called Jah Happy living here ‘cause I never have to wear no shoes In this land that’s made for me called Jah Now that we know there’s nowhere to go but Jah Make love spread love to the one called Jah Happy living here Living in my Jah Thank you for my here All of us my Jah I nurture every thought like a plant in the mind called Jah I do a little seeding and a little weeding for ya It’s everything that’s thinking the thoughts of Jah Oh lord, lead me into the light that’s ya As we sing this song We sing love to ya We all sing this song This song we call Jah Happy living here Living in my Jah Thank you for my here All of us my Jah Happy living here ‘cause I never have to wear no shoes

Ganjaman 03:40
Good herb for my meditation Cool my nerves bring me that inspiration Preserve the father’s creation More herbs need to be smoking Baby you can call me the ganjaman Cuz I’m holding the world in the palm of my hand And all across the globe they know See me plant the seed And watch it grow Good herb for my meditation Cool my nerves bring me that salvation Preserve the mother’s creation No words need to be spoken

Why do we keep ourselves from crying? When it's the tears that can put out the fires The hunger of spirit and hope Are the wings that can take us higher What is the point in salvation? If all you can save is yourself Reaching for preservation And the promise of riches and wealth Everyday spirit is dying Making life so hard to live Pull all your insides out You’ll receive as much as you give Everyday spirit is born In a child's eyes there is light Burning so bright like the sun It brings shelter to the cold cold night What is this gift of elation? Can it spread like a seed in the wind? Feeding the hearts of all nations Bringing peace to our people again Why do we keep ourselves from crying? When it's the tears that can put out the fires The hunger of spirit and hope Are the wings that can take us higher

Waterbed 05:02
Rolling around in the waterbed I gently remember those things you said And those things you didn't say You wished those things all away The wind from you vibrates such telling skin Your body so easy to read I forget that it's not for simpler men Who make things too complicated I know just how you tickle The spots that feel rough and dry Are the same times that make you cry When I bring it up Every time when I bring it up We notice our binding handcuffs One on you one on me We cannot be free as we Quiet my love it's time to go Shut up I know you know Quiet my love Three days it takes for us to see Day one as calm as day three Day two not so friendly Pity me never too pretty 'Twas the longest day of my year A day that was longer than the year I prayed that I’d stay clear At least for that day I called you but you were gone You answered my prayer last night You wished on a northern star and I’m way down here I see the same star and I’m way down here Several miles south with one lower tear I ran dry so many years ago Afraid to open up my gates again Flooding the ground with my dripping chin Thoughts of our first night feel like a sin If I go on I know we'll meet again Rolling around I just can't wait to be home again Round and round Rolling around in the waterbed I can't help but forget those things you said But I cannot forget those things you didn't say

Highwire 08:43
Your beauty is absurd I watch you cling to every word I got vines from my mouth Swinging right past what you heard I take a tumble to the ground But you’re nowhere to be found Trying hard to explain This feeling that spins me around I know I don’t always Do the things that I should I’m telling you baby I would if I could Between the dark and the light Before the day sees the night When the setting sun must fall I see the balance in it all I walk the highwire Won’t you catch me if I fall I need a place to rest my head Is there room inside your bed? I promise that I won’t touch Too little too much While you rest Well you wake up nice and slow I’m already set to go Got my keys in my hand Baby I’m hitting the road
