Grace
04:34
|
|||
How can you go and avert your eyes?
Confronted by your holy life
It's not too often that the lines fade away
It's not too often that the grace can stay
How can you stand this lonely dance?
I find myself in tears again
Like I was a puppet on strings for a band
But I was the maker and I was the hand
I went to sink deep in the night
Where time pools out from cracks of light
And I arose protected
Not broken nor reflected
My mind a rose in bloom
My spirit filled the room
I saw my body in the waters of home
From my chest to my belly and down to my toes
And I didn't feel one thing wrong with me
Such a long time since I let myself feel free
I went to sink deep in the night
Where time pools out from cracks of light
And I arose protected
Not broken nor reflected
My mind a rose in bloom
My spirit filled the room
A prayer is knowing that I'm not alone
A feeling received deep in my bones
When a moving picture speaks my life
And words lose meaning but their shape is right
My heart wants nothin more than to know
That it's all around me and I can go
Where the lines fade away so I can see
Where the grace can stay and I can be.

Motion/Being
08:36
|

I listen to the earth beneath my toes
I listen to it spin and turn and grow
By the water and wind she spoke to me, she spoke to me--
"Our souls come and go, they're birds, they're free"
But I'm a forgetful man
I thought I left them open but I closed my hands
and it's bringing me down, it's bringing me down
A fire at night, the sparks like stars.
In the moment we feel our beating hearts
it's falling away, and I believe this is a prayer
watching the flames rise in the air
But I'm a fearful soul
I stand by the fire even when it's gone cold
and it's holding me still, it's holding me still
It's bringing me down, it's bringing me down
~~~~~~~~~~~
A mighty storm
A might song, a spirit born
A gentle touch
You made me feel so much
The rising moon on the darkest night
I listen to your song
I listen to the words go on
I listen to the parts you're still working on
There's more to sing, there's more to sing, there's more to sing.
A note rang out
A mountain in the clouds
A voice rose up in colors and sounds
It said "Being is a song"
It said "Being is time"
"In every stone, in every tree, in every smile you'll find
there's more to sing, there's more to sing, there's more to sing."
We flew away
The endless sky so blue flew away too
There's nothing holding
There's nothing holding anything
There's nowhere that our hearts won't sing
There's nothing that the sound wont reach out
and touch and hold and ring

I Want To Move Slowly
04:23
|
|

I want to move slowly
I want to be in my body
I want to move slowly
I want to breathe deeply
I want to feel my body
I want to breathe deeply
And it makes me sad
And it makes feel alright
It makes me wonder
And it makes me feel peaceful
And my heart beats inside
Telling me fear no more
Fear is what holds us still, remember
I want to know completely
The shape of myself and the movement of my song
I want to be completely
I want to feel your body
Slow motion melting into mine
I want to feel your body
And it makes me glad
And it makes feel alright
It makes me wonder
And it makes me feel peaceful
And my heart beats inside
Telling me fear no more
Fear is what holds us still, remember
My heart beats inside
My heart beats inside
My heart beats inside
Telling me I'm alive, I'm alive
I want to go out dancing
I want to live a full life
And I want to go out dancing
I want to be easy
Smell of the air when the rain goes away
Sound of the leaves happy to receive the breeze

Your Elegant Spirit
01:40
|
|||
The fields have all turned into mud
The rain and the wind have battered them in
And the flowers have wilted and started to fold
Your elegant spirit's grown cold
But the sunshine still reaches the ground
The brambles that grow will soon decompose
And it's true, the seeds and the soil will renew
Your elegant spirit will bloom

you're hungry
better work to get that money
cuz your health is never free
might hurt the economy
you're stressed out
better pay to get that checked out
and don't blame it on your job
be grateful for what you got
don't ask too many questions
just vote in the elections
i don't wanna feel down
i don't wanna feel down
i don't wanna feel down
you're tired
starbucks'll get you wired
and at the end of the day
tv makes it ok
you're lonely
well at least you're not the only
better take it online
there's people on there all the time
don't ask too many questions
just vote in the elections
i don't wanna feel down
i don't wanna feel down
i don't wanna feel down

When I wake up I go into the kitchen to make a cup
of coffee, comfort, caffeine, splash of cream.
Mmmmmm.
My dog she stays in bed. She's not antsy like me.
She's curled in the warmth she's made.
A cinnamon roll on those dark and cold winter days.
I might read a book or write some lines
or strum the guitar two or three times.
Then before it gets too late I go back to my room
to sit on the floor and try... and try...
to meditate
And when I do my dog gets up
comes over to give me a hug.
She nuzzles her head against my chest
then she ambles back to her bed.

Leopard's Eyes
02:48
|
|

way out, i've been walking
in the fields, walking
eyes wide open
i've been high, i've been low
still don't know where i'm meant to be
but out here it's clear to see
we've forgotten
from our view we close what's open
from the sky to the ocean
we hold still motion
feel i'm on the outside looking in
and those leopard's eyes keep staring back at me
from deep someplace we used to be
at least that's what i want to believe
i'm a human after all
way out, i've been walking
in the fields, walking
arms wide open
i've been high, i've been low
still don't know where i'm meant to be
but even if it's lost to me i'll guard it

Rosemary
02:56
|
|

Like an autumn breeze through the cottonwood trees
you swayed me
Now I swing joyfully
A quivering of leaves
A playful harmony
The simple way you hold and share what's beautiful
The galaxies of sound
The tulips in the ground
The moonlight's gravity
The smell of rosemary
This life asks of us so very much
But you and I seem to grow together
like squash and beans
A steady cast of shade
from the love you and I have made
The gentle space you bring
The tender way you sing
The galaxies of sound
The tulips in the ground
The moonlight's gravity
The smell of rosemary
And I woke up today and I was holding everything
I had you on my mind

Sweet as a grape from the vine
An old friend of mine I'm seeing
Sweet as love can be sweet
Sweet as the sounds of the sea
I walked up into something good
I walked up into something good
Down old roads, down new roads too
I move slowly to slow down my time
Everywhere I go I find
My life where I didn't know I would
And I walk up into something good
I walk up into something good
You might hate me for saying I feel this way
You might hate me anyway
It's too late to know where I'm going
It's too early to know where I been
I lost my way and I'm lost where I am
But if I go where I can then I should
And I'll walk up into something good
I'll walk up into something good
You might hate me for saying I feel this way
You might hate me anyway
You might hate me for saying I feel this way
You might hate me anyway

I Was A Golden Horse
02:18

|

I was a golden horse
running of course
in a dance or a dream
I been the setting sun
but not this one
I set just once
A wave on the ocean's play
I waved for a day
then I stretched on the shore
I was the love of a queen
caught in between
her secrets and dreams
And I was assured
this time I'd be heard
by the gods in the skies,
the moons in the night
I was told this time I'd grow old
a mountain of stone
with rocks for my bones
and I knew why
I'd cry and cry
from springs in my side
'til the rivers ran dry
and I was turned into sand
and that was the end

I Know This World
05:25
|
|||
There was a time when I didn't know anything
I'd walk this world without a song to sing
There was a time when I didn't know anything at all
There was a girl she showed me the world
She said look at that stream how it dances blue and green
and the pebbles underneath the water all catch the golden light
There was a time when I couldn't hear a sound
I'd walk this world with my ears to the ground
There was a man he told me to listen
He said tell me what you hear way out there on the air
and I heard birds and I heard planes and I heard the sound of people laughing
There was a time when I couldn't speak a word
I'd walk this world and I'd go unheard
There was a time when I couldn't speak a word at all
There was a friend she told me to sit down
She said tell me your story, your love and your fears
and I said well, it can be a little hard sometimes, I don't know why
And she said how does it feel having one foot on the shore?
How does it feel knowing there's always something more?
What's out there night, what's always burning bright
What's with your when your gone and what's always moving on
Where lovers always go and time is always slow
What's with you when you're alone and what's running through your bones
and you've gotta learn it while you go and you still might not ever know
How does it feel? How does it feel? How does it feel?
And I woke up and I turned my head to the sky
and I saw he birds and I heard them flying by
and I started to dance and I started to sing a little song
and it went something like this
I know this world, I know I know
I know this world, I know I know
I know this world, I know I know I know
I know this world, I know I know
I know this world, I know I know
I know this world, and I know I know I know
I know this heart, I know I know
I know this heart, and I know I know
I know this heart, I know I know I know
I see this world, I see I see
I hear this world, I hear I hear
I sing this world, I sing I sing I sing
I know this heart, I know I know
I sing this heart, I sing I sing
I dance this heart, I dance I dance I dance
I know this world, I know I know
I know this world, I know I know
I know this world, and I know I know I know

Where do we go?

Smell them once
Smell them twice
