Learning & Growing

Right here, right now in kinship
Loving, laughing in bliss
Reflections reflecting
In a wide array of emotion
We see this and see that
Still it goes on flowing
It goes on flowing
We're learning and growing
It goes on flowing
We're learning and growing
Come on, join me
So that you may see
What a wild, wild reality
Of this culture that we bend
Come on, join me
Let's transcend
It goes on flowing
We're learning and growing
It goes on flowing
We're learning and growing
It goes on flowing
We're learning and growing
It goes on flowing
We're learning and growing
So what's all this got to do with me?
I don't really care
As long as we're happy
I do just what I can
To help where I can
To bring about the evolution
Of humanity
It goes on flowing
We're learning and growing
It goes on flowing
We're learning and growing
We're learning and growing
We're learning and growing
We're learning and growing

Mysterious World
02:54
|
|||
|
When I'm weak, low and feeling down
And it's easy to wear a frown
I step back and look around
And I see that I'm a small part of this mysterious world
Doing my best
Mysterious world
Sometimes I need rest
Mysterious world
Holding your hand
Mysterious world
Nothing could plan
I can see why it's got you down
There's no plan for what comes around
When you least think it will emerge
Join the dance now
There's time to merge
In this mysterious world
Shining your light
Mysterious world
Extinguish your fright
Mysterious world
Touching my heart
Mysterious world
Someday I'll part
I keep learning and changing
I keep yearning and dreaming
And I know that life is changing
And I know that we'll all keep rearranging
In this mysterious world
Sharing our hearts
Mysterious world
Playing our part
Mysterious world
Wishing you well
Mysterious world
Be free from hell
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Mysterious world
Doing my best
Mysterious world
Sometimes I need rest
Mysterious world
Holding your hand
Mysterious world
Nothing could plan
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Mysterious...

Step Out
03:42
|

|
Here's a song about nothing
Yet something might come of it
Simply this, nothing to pitch
Just authenticity
I could easily cancel out
Instead I will simply step out
We've done this and we've done that
Without regard for anything
Days will come and we'll find out
We're everything and nothing
I could easily cancel out
Instead I will simply step out
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
I could easily cancel out
Instead I will simply step out
Times I think we're on the brink of something quite spectacular
Other times I'm not so sure
Yet I keep on creating
I could easily cancel out
Instead I will simply step out
Take my words or don't take them
I respect your wishes
All I'd like to share with you
Are all my heartfelt wishes
I could easily cancel out
Instead I will simply step out
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-lal-la-la-la-la

Power Games
04:12
|

|
Power games, power games
What a shame
Win the same, lose the same
Not my kind of game
Build a rush, soon it's crushed
Why do they play?
Power games, power games
What a shame
Why do people play power games?
Life will give you power all the same
That's if you mean well and do no harm
Do the best you can, that's all I ask
Those who feel they are no good
Your heart is alive
Connected to the multiverse
Tied to that musical jive
The power comes from within
Your kindness is your friend
And with it blooms the greatest good
Life goes on as it should
There's no need to play power games
Life will give you power all the same
That's if you mean well and do no harm
Do the best you can
That's all I ask
Power games, power games
What a shame
Win the same, lose the same
Not my kind of game
Build a rush, soon it's crushed
Why do they play?
Power games, power games
What a shame

Crumbling Rock
03:44
|
|||
|
I knew a young man, much younger than I
He said I'm the best, no one need try
To match where I'm at, I stand at the top
Little did he know, he was on a crumbling rock
I said young man, please take my hand
Journey with me through, this Goddess born land
Drink with me the wind that nourishes life
Dance with me the dance that frees thee from strife
I cannot, I won't, I've no time for that
I'm chasing the world
My wallet grows fat
I'm an invincible man, I cannot be stopped
Little did he know, he was on a crumbling rock
Time went by quick and as well this young man
A fire burning hot, now an ember he stands
Words he recalls from a young woman of the land
The crumbling rock is now a pebble in his hand
I said young man, please take my hand
Journey with me through, this Goddess born land
Drink with me the wind that nourishes life
Dance with me the dance that frees thee from strife
I knew a young man, much younger than I
He said I'm the best, no one need try
To match where I'm at, I stand at the top
Little did he know, he was on a crumbling rock

Rainbows Come & They Go
03:56
|
|||
|
I look at this life and I see it's changing
All around I see, clearly rearranging
Some for good and some, not so good too
Yet I sense that it, will all pull through
Odd how life works
All the twists and turns
To get to where
We gradually learn
To roll with it
And not fight every turn
Guess she laughs at us
And secretly yearns
That we recognize
What we already know
That in the clouds
Rainbows come and they go
Grieve me lightly for I have already died
A thousand times and a thousand times cried
Joyfully to be reborn over again
All those parts of me gladly outworn and shed
Thought it puzzles me
All these layers I peel
For underneath who I am seems unreal
Like a butterfly, fully formed and ideal
These hidden jewels, in time shall reveal
What I've always know, again and again
As the wise ones show
Rainbows come and they go
I know in time
It will all be complete
This paradigm will fall to our feet
We will rise from ashes of defeat
To build ourselves into something so sweet
But you know it will take a lot of work
To actualize a harmonious Earth
That's the name that we have given Her
She is ancient and our Mother
Without Her, we wouldn't exist
As we know life, it would all be amiss
So let's take some time to fully know
In this paradigm
Rainbows come and they go

Given The Cue

Time will tell you why
Time will tell you when
Time will tell you how
Time will make it zen
Time will flow
Time will go by you
Given the cue
Things will come and go
Things will be so so
Have you wonder why
Ponder deep and cry
Time will laugh
Time will pass by you
Given the cue
Time is all made up
Times a measurement
Time is circular
Times an illusionist
Time will mend
Time will bend by you
Given the cue
Times a funny thing
Helps you live and sing
Helps you find a way
Won't quite ever stay
Time dreams wild
Times just a little child
That's you
Given the cue

Sweet Ray

In the shadow we stand
Of a storm brewin
I can smell the rain on its way
Thunder does whip and crack
Winds are blowin swift
I can feel the change in my bones
La-la-la-la-la
La-dee-dee-da
La-la-la-la-la
When it all seems right
Trickster shines a light
Showing more to this life
Unknown
With a helping hand
And some strength to stand
Maybe you'll see what most cannot see
La-la-la-la-la
La-dee-da-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la
When the storm gets here
Please remember, Sweet One
That I always love you
Let your roots dig deep
Let it all flow free
With all your might
Don't let go
La-la-la-la-la
La-dee-da-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la
For though it seems you'll never wake from this dream
There is a rainbow of light shining through
When the storm blows past, fear will never ever last
Look up and see the sun, Sweet Ray
La-la-la-la-la
La-dee-da-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la
