Breathing It In
04:25
|
|||
|
I feel the morning sun shine down on me
I feel the softest touch from the breeze, kiss my skin
And the good times
I?m breathing them in
'cos my life's about to begin.
I've spent far too much time feeling low
I've spent too many days on my own
And the good times
I'm breathing them in
And the good times
I'm breathing them in
And the good times
I'm breathing them in
'cos my life's about to begin.
Now it's time to wipe the tears from your eye
Now it's time to wave the sadness goodbye
The world clearer now
The grass is greener somehow
And the birds I hear them sing, hear them sing
And the good times
I'm breathing them in
And the good times
I'm breathing them in
And the good times
I'm breathing them in
And the good times
I'm breathing them in
Nothing finer, nothing sweeter, nothing here to come between us
The time feels right to feel so alive . . .

Sea of Enrichment
04:36
|
|||
|
You can lead us to the path of enlight'ment
But it won't make us think, won't make us think
Set sail on the sea to enrichment
But we're likely to sink, likely to sink
And you can't make up your mind
You know you want to, you know you want to
And you can't utter a lie
You're going to have to tell it this time.
I didn't wanna ask “Why?”, 'cause 'why' is never-ending
Searchin' for an answer,
(but) Failin' to recall
The times and trails that led me to this door
Out there...
Have to say I've never been this far
Forever lookin' out
Is a mirror of within
Feel as tho' I'm racing 'gainst myself
Falling...
Sleep on it and put it off 'til dawn
Why choose to speak when the truth is spoken for?
Then give me your word, give me your word
One way to trust with no illusions
Is look to ourselves, look to ourselves
And you must make up your mind
You know you have to, you know you have to
And you can't utter a lie
You're going to have to tell it this time.
I didn't wanna ask “Why?”, 'cause 'why' is never-ending
Why is never-ending, Why is never-ending, Why is never-ending...

Still Lights Up The Rain
07:02
|
|||
|
Watching for the Stars in the City skies
Amber reflections banish them from our eyes
As we sit here smiling in the Garden of Eden
Overgrown by the years of neglect
By unnamed others, a legacy of the past imperfect
But a saving grace transforms the face
Of the luminescent thief of the stars
As I raise my eyes to Heaven
To take in the air and breathe in the sight
Forgiveness shows the brightness
In a very different light
'cause it still lights up the Rain

Some Say
06:13
|
|||
|
Some say we were born to sing
That's there's so much more, to the human voice
Than all this talk
Some say we were born in the seas
Some say it explains the patterns painted
By the remnants of our fur
On our newly naked skin, our nearly naked skin...
Some say we were born to Dance
That we've taken on a fate, a fallen state
Where we dance and sing no more
(an') Some say we've got a Long Way to Go...
Some say we'll need an army to get there
Some say that's been our problem all along
Some say what we need is a leader
Some say all we need is a song
Some say we need a new perspective
Some say that we flatter ourselves
To think we've come so far
Some say we will awaken
And rediscover who we are
Some say we'll all go on together
See how little we all still know
If we believe, some day, we'll get there
Then we'll see, we've got a Long Way to Go

Faster Than Light
06:44
|
|||
|
I must be waking up again
I must be waking up again
I must be waking up again
I've been the lonely man
Buried hammers in the sand
If you lose links down to the soil
Leads to pain and paranoia
Can love be faster than light?
Can love be faster than light?
With no fear things are as they seem
Hear now! Love is not a dream!
Hear now! Love is not a dream!
There's no need to be afraid
Can love be faster than light?
Can love be faster than light?
Laughing Bird rides the wind in you
Laughing Bird rides the wind in you
A flash of Light... in the corner of your eye
Riding, the crest of a wave!
Give it some, you altered me, I still may be delivered!
I'll save a love and breathe us whole
Our mind free, humming rivers
Once a lover, thread the needle, far too small to fall
Going with the form who sees us
Being meaning all!
Can love be faster than light?
Can love be faster than light?
Mend the raiment fair to please us
Prepare you for the fight
We impartial from the start
We see the natural right!
Can love be faster than light?
Can love be faster than light?
A ray of Hope, A flicker of the eye!

In Your Own Time
08:25
|
|||
|
I went down to the place I used to live
And it had far more space than I recall
The woman who lived there now had a Grand Piano
It's funny how things can change inside your mind
And that's all that remains, of the reason why
Seven years passed by...
I'd been living there far too long to say
When I left I'd no more games to play
Well, and I sing 'Hallelujah'!
No reason born, the fading light to grey
No true life will deliver, No War of the Mind
No War, look behind.
I went down to the place that's said to be
An urban life that's right for you and me
Amazing what with Modern Technology
We're running round so fast the eye can hardly see
But we can hardly sustain that
If we take take take then the Earth can only change, yeah
There's reasons why there's so many eyes to see
And if we turn from power to local honesty
Who's under illusions?
With all this moral relativity...
No will can be an island, No War stay the hand
No War un-grind the sand
You've seen it reap and sow
Now's the time, ain't that what everyone should know?
In your... In your own time
In your... In your own time, In your own time

Rumi
04:38
|
|||
|
Imagine the time when the part that you are
is going back to the source where it came from.
Listen- if you can bare it.
In the body of the world, they say, there is a soul.
But we have our ways
that will never be told...
Listen-
A union with a friend means not to be who you were,
But to be silence instead,
quietness, a place, landscape, a view..
where the language is seen from the inside.
There are hundreds of ways
to go down and kiss the earth.
In the body of the world,
beyond our ideas of right and wrong,
there is a field. I'll meet you there.
When the soul lies down on the grass,
the world is too grand to describe...

Mothership
08:04
|
|||
|
Come to the Mothership, I said
Come to the Mothership, I said
I'll meet you at the ledge
Come to the Mothership
Come to the Mothership
And I say "You're right, you're right, you're right, you're right, you're right, you're right, you're right, you're right, you're wrong."
Sometimes Life amazes me. People enveloping words.
They remember tides, suggestions
Until the next time they fly...
And I said "Choose your Time"
Can Time really find us, reaching out for the same Dream?
Can Time really find us, reaching out for the same Dream?
And I said "Come to the Mothership!", I said
"Come to the Mothership!"
Come to the Mothership!
Come to the Mothership
Come to the Mothership
Come to the Mothership

Privately Minded
06:23
|
|||
|
They walk on their own, talk to themselves
Rarely share a secret, and never drop their guard
They're Privately Minded
They think alike, but not as One
Reserved in opinion, unconventionally numb
They're Privately Minded
It must be confessed
No thought of fault or blame
But this unspoken law is driving me insane
Aren't some people strange?!
And if they say the same of me
I shouldn't be too surprised to find... I'm Privately Minded
I quietly close the windows, shut all the doors
Reflect on their reflections, tread careful on the floor
We all need to imagine, a wall that works both ways
With psychic insulation, for people out of... phase
It must be confessed
No thought of fault or blame
But this unspoken law is driving me insane
Aren't some people strange?!
And if they say the same of us
We shouldn't be too surprised to find... we're Privately Minded.

Saturn Ruin
06:44
|
|||
|
Nothing colder than the Real
Throw Surprises to the Winds
Neptune's water, curling streams
Wheels of Karma, Saturn's rings
To the foremost of Firm Lands
Hyperdimensional boundaries
Super-reflectional soundwaves
And the iceberg tip of the rest
The Tides of Time and the Rhythms of Space
The Dance of Multi-polar Worlds
And its pulse within you
Bang the Drum, ‘cause Space forms Squares!

Running through the distance
Reelin' round
Reason through insistence
Meanin' sound
I done right... And that's reason enough for me
I deny that the whole philosophy is real
Ragin' onwards upwards round
Only waitin' for the sound
Runnin' in next to no time
Runnin' in next to no time
Keep in mind you can't regret it
If in time, hope to transcend it
She's a Woman , her power's gone
She's a Woman , yeah, he's strung her along
She's a Woman , yeah, she knows he's wrong
She's a Woman, helpless in the face
Of the warm, hard stone
Seeds sowing assistance
For the ride
Female thought-resistance
Great Divide
Ragin' onwards upwards round
Only waitin' for the sound, of...

Clouds Begin Their Reign
04:15
|
|||
|
The sun hands over its kingdom
and the clouds begin their reign.
All hail the precipitation and soak up
The saturated domain.
Everyone's drowning in sorrow
Everyone's clutching at straws
Everyone's fishing for answers
But no one seems to swim for the shore.
The future lies in the lighthouse
Our sovereign lives in flame.
It’s all we can do to hold a candle to you
… and trust the skies will open again.
Nothing dampens our energy
when the current is all negativity.
Nothing dampens our energy, not even the rain.
Hear a rumble in the distance
see a spark seal its own fate.
Smell the fear of a 1,000 thunderstorms
feel the flood force open the gates.
Nothing dampens our energy
when the current is all negativity.
Nothing dampens our energy, not even the rain

Far Away From Home
04:34
|
|||
|
It's good to be back! It's good to be back
From forsaking all rights for a tune
It's strange how they stacked
All those tensions that lacked
Any reason, they came from the heart
Saved by the urge to listen
Un-muffled my ears to retrospect
Oh, and hear the sound of the voice
You hear the sound of the voice
You hear the sound of the voice...
Feel the hope returning
Far away from Home
See the truth-fires burning
To short-cut made too soon
Knee-deep in trivia
Sights often passing by
Hooked on security clutching a trodden path
I said, "I want you, I need you!"
I saw you through shut eyes and died
Open-line for all the time, but now... I'm home
It's good to re-find
Solitary mind
That's more open to cross-legged muse
It's clear to me now
There's no 'what-if's, or 'how?'s
I'm not expecting, nor am I doubting resolve
Saved by this shock to the system
That broke bonded clouds, freed clarity
Oh, and hear the sound of the voice
You hear the sound of the voice
You hear the sound of the voice...
See the wheels are turning
Far away from Home
Visitations yearning
Far away from Home
Too soon to settle down
Restless, untied
A taste of a paradise, an inverted flow
I told you, you told me
You can't drink from the cup so fast
Until the time when all thoughts rhyme, and all that is home
And all that, and all that
And all that… is Home
