Dance
i know you’re scoping
you wanna come back
you disconnected now you’re feeling regret
no broken heart here
no tears to cry
can’t waste a minute trippin over your lies
i’m gonna dance in the kitchen
dance on the roof
now that you’re gone, the sun is shining brand new
gonna dance in the backyard
dance on the bed
you walked out the door and now the party’s started
don’t need your money
don’t need your stress
don’t need you trying to convince me i'm less
i gave my love true
i love you still
i’m not to blame for all the sadness you feel
don’t take for granted
never disrespect
you hurt someone, you hurt yourself, it’s like that
your heart is cold now
locked in distress
find your own way i wish you happiness, no less
i’m gonna dance in the kitchen
dance on the roof
now that you’re gone, the sun is shining brand new
gonna dance in the backyard
dance on the bed
you walked out the door and now the party’s started

Stand
Up
they want to vaccinate your babies
give em drugs that make em crazy
and you stand by
cops are killing folks with tasers
it barely makes the papers
and you stand by
they can lock you up for thought crimes
put fear inside your mind
and you stand by
half your money goes to taxes
working day to day in shackles
and you stand by
there’s poison in the water
mad cows go to slaughter
and you stand by
out there slaving for a dollar
when it’s barely worth a dime
and you stand by
people can’t afford shelter
while the wealth is slowly transferred
and you stand by
mass corruption on the inside
tv news feeds you lies
and you stand by
politicians try to sway you
while the corporations play you
and you stand by
they’re fighting wars of conquest
killing innocents for profit
and you stand by
wake up wake up this is all wrong
don’t know what to do when you feel so small
liberate yourself and change will come
stand up stand up one by one thy will be done
the system is not working
time to change the way you’re thinking
stand up
stop hating on your brother
we’re the same love one another
stand up
stop supporting corporations
respect the earth and nature
stand up
soldier stop your killing
put your gun down and go home
stand up
feed the hungry help the homeless
everyone deserves to be blessed
stand up
teachers give the children knowledge
not the state sponsored bullshit
stand up
throw out your television
step outside of the illusion
stand up
get to know your neighbors
give a smile to a stranger
stand up
we are the change that’s needed
seek and you will find it
stand up
stand up for justice
stand up for peace
stand up for freedom
stand up

Truth
you ask me if i speak truth
what else is there when you disconnect from the lie
what remains is as raw as an open wound left to simmer in the
sun
calling for rejuvenation of life, cell repair, healing
you ask me if my heart is on fire
what else could it be when the programmed complacency is left
to die
all that is left is spirit, higher vibration, dancing to the rhythm
of all that is
it’s the life force that makes the trees stand tall and strong
for centuries, makes the flowers bloom on cue, makes a broken
hearted soul wake up in the morning to face another day with fierceness
who are you
is your truth the truth
does your heart burn with desire to be more, feel more, taste
more, see more
beating like an irrepressible drum that awakens you to the knowledge
that we are more
one truth
everything and nothing
dark and light
joy and pain
calling and answering and calling back and echoing and moving
through your space
the vibration of love
constantly shifting perspectives
reclaiming souls
opening dead dumbed down minds to the truth
not his truth or her truth or my truth or your truth
but the truth that is
one love
permeating and transcending and flowing and shifting and throbbing
effervescent omnipresence
we are everything and nothing
one with many faces many smells and flavors
all knowing and all seeing and reverberating through the universe
so familiar yet unknown
the question and the answer
the beginning and the end
alpha omega
funky free
knowledge
truth

The
Way You Flow
little boy blue don’t look so sad
don’t let her bring you down
sittin’ around here hangin’ your head
ain’t nowhere to be found
she broke your heart now you’re all alone
you need to be movin on
so with your bad boy swagger
take it all in stride
do what you do, stay true
hold your head high
go on with your bad self
you can’t be denied
don’t worry bout that girl
cause you are divine
brother you’re so righteous
i wanna let you know
i love the way you flow
you go to work every morning blue
you miss her every day
still trying to make a dream come true
but the world won’t turn your way
you’re so full of magic fire
so divine when you shine
so, with your bad boy swagger
take it all in stride
do what you do, stay true
hold your head high
go on with your bad self
you can’t be denied
don’t worry bout that girl
cause you are divine
brother you’re so righteous
and i wanna let you know
i love the way you flow

I’m
With You
you and i
we had our time
funny how life can change your mind
the better days
we never got to
trouble brewing, swirling all the time
but as we grow
we learn to see
nothing means more than honesty
and honestly i can say still
i love you
i live you
i breathe you
and wherever you are in space and time
i’m with you
my soul mate
one are we
no matter the illusive reality
mistakes we made
can’t be undone
don’t have to you’re still the only one
the more i live
the more i see
all i can give
is honesty
and honestly i can say still
i love you
i live you
i breathe you
and wherever you are in space and time
i’m with you
i’m with you always and forever
through whatever may come, won’t come undone
if you need me, call me and i’m there, i’m there, i’m
there
i’m with you

Happy Lemmings
Marching On
talk...people just talk all day
chatter like birds in the trees
headlines keepin’ their minds in the fray
don’t know what to believe
been bamboozled and deceived
nothing from nothing leaves the same
where you going now
you know there’s no way out
chasing paper trails chasing your tail
oh, yeah, they hate us cause we’re free
they hate us cause we’re free, uh uh
the love is missing
the lights are dimming
fire’s fading
and we go marching on
bombs are falling
bankers makin’ a killing
what happy lemmings we are
as we go marching on
pray...call on your father
to save us all
but your god is the wrong god
nothin from nothin leaves the same
better get a gun now
don't wanna get in line
join the mass mind
don't wanna go get saved
love is on the way
the love is missing
the lights are dimming
fire’s fading
and we go marching on
bombs are falling
bankers making a killing
what happy lemmings we are
as we go marching on

Free
Yourself
i followed you into cold dark tunnels
nothing but faith to guide my steps
i’m taking a detour, looks like summer
light is so bright it blinds my past
i’m diggin the new road yesterday’s over
gonna dream bigger i’m fierce today
you still simmer in old stale water
come out come out come go my way
freedom is bliss
love is the key to all your power
find it inside
open your heart, your mind will follow
love is alive
everything else is static matter
free yourself, your Self, free
funny how all the clocks keep ticking
even though time is standing still
hanging out at the crossroads waiting
don’t you know heaven is deep within
water runs from a secret fountain
bubbling up with joy and light
you can say you are not enlightened
but you can’t deny it feels alright
freedom is bliss
love is the key to all your power
find it inside
open your heart, your mind will follow
love is alive
everything else is static matter
free yourself, your Self, free

You’re
Not Alone
i don’t want to fight your battles, toe to toe with your
dismay
chasing down the demons bandits come to break the chains
darkness in the daylight, castles melting one by one
who are you, where did you come from
heaven is in danger bound by rules of men who kill
finding no easy ruse you choose the bitter red pill
what if we’re all crazy oh the truth is so sublime
who are you running from this time
i recognize the fear that you step through (you’re not alone)
i feel your pain, the pain is mine too (you and i are one)
a free fall is easy just close your eyes and know
you’re not alone
i knock on the door and you say go away just let me be
so many other souls to save don’t waste your time on me
the madness is subsiding, all the doors are open now
you wanna get out but you don’t know how
take the hand i offer, you and i are heaven bound
stumbling through the shadows there are diamonds to be found
counting on the good days will get you through the bad
you never miss what you never had
i recognize the fear that you step through (you’re not alone)
i feel your pain, the pain is mine too (you and i are one)
a free fall is easy just close your eyes and know
you’re not alone
when destiny awakens full of wonders to behold
she’ll answer every question and you’ll know which way
to go
but what if we’re all crazy?

I Love You Because
i love you because you are
i love you for reasons way beyond the obvious
i love your consistently predictable day to day routine
i love you because i dream
i dream that one day you’ll wake up and see i’m drowning
over here
i dream a light will shine on you so bright you turn off your
tv
and maybe we can talk or something equally extreme
oh hell, who am i fooling, still
i love you because you are
i love you cause in your space i feel so rebellious
i love it when you come home every day at the same. exact. time.
i love you because i can
funny how the mirror can be madness, we reflect the empty spaces
onto innocent bystanders we project our childhood years
only love can transform shallow bits to wondrous masterpieces
it’s magic, love is
i love you because you are
i love you just like i love making bread
it’s so simple, basic, warm, it keeps my soul fed
and it’s oh so necessary for my dreams
i dream a light will shine on you so bright you turn off that
damn tv

Rise!
rain come down on me
wash away the stain on my memory
such a heavy burden on this journey
i’m thirsty, choking on broken dreams
spent desires tearing at me, wanna lose me
and live in the song
rise
rise...from here
rise...like a phoenix from the ashes i will
paid the price you see
always searching for the way back home to me
no more crying, no more lying to myself
finally ready to be who i truly am
baby girl is stronger, emptiness no longer
i live in the song
rise
rise...from here
rise...like a phoenix from the ashes i will
too many days, too many nights wasted away
drowning the pain in smokey haze engaged in battles with myself
i’m not the same the script is changed no one to blame won’t
hurt again
it’s all so clear from here
rise
rise...from here
rise...like a phoenix from the ashes i will
been lost too long now, ready to go home now
i’m living from my soul now lead me on
out of the abyss. i never wanted this
been lost too long, too long
rise
rise...from here
rise...like a phoenix from the ashes i will

Religion
are you looking for a savior
are you looking for the promised land
would you die for your religion
is your jesus a brown man
are you guilty of original sin
has your soul been saved
you don’t have to sit in judgement
cause i don’t see it your way
religion
don’t give me your religion
cause i believe in only one truth, one light, one love
no religion
do you seek the truth
i hear you tellin’ white lies
you speak of revelation
you could be satan in disguise
how many days has it been
since your last confession
do you really know your maker
or is it just an unholy obsession
religion
don’t give me your religion
cause i believe in only one truth, one light, one love
no religion
jews and gentiles, roman catholics
methodist, baptist, jehovah’s witness
muslim, lutheran,presbyterian
protestant, buddhist and latter day saints
(repeat)
religion
don’t give me your religion
cause i believe in only one truth, one light, one love
no religion

Sweet
you are the only one
that’s ever done it for me
you impeccable speciall one
caught the dreamer in me
hear you in every key
speak to me in harmony
take me where i need to be
places i’ve never been
and the way that i
the way that i feel
the way that i feel right now
sweet
in my hour of loneliness
you manifested on in
in the darkest despair
i was reaching and you took my hand
i hear your voice and i glow
all warm and yellow and free
like a fool i lose my cool
when you get cozy with me
and the way that i
the way that i feel
the way that i feel right now
sweet
and i’m crazy about you baby
crazy, crazy, crazy with mad love for you

Square
One
i thought we had an understanding
thought it was understood
that when it came time for the revolution
we’d be one for all and all for good
well, somebody got it twisted
flipped for the dollars and bling
a little too cozy with the payment plan
trading souls for empty things
i don’t hear you, what ya saying
the same old beat you keep playing
you chit chat, this and that, what have you done
seems like we go ‘round and ‘round
we build it up and we tear it down
keep on slipping back to square one
call me a dreamer if you want to
i still hold the dream for sure
and better days we’re gonna get to
without the thieves and their politician whores
and if you look into the mirror
beyond your empty stare
maybe your soul will speak to you
wake you up from this nightmare
i don’t hear you, what ya saying
the same old beat you keep playing
you chit chat, this and that, what have you done
seems like we go ‘round and ‘round
we build it up and we tear it down
keep on slipping back to square one
all the colors of the rainbow, sinking in the same boat
monopolized and traumatized, under control
chasing idols and fakeness everywhere you go
you don’t know, you don’t want to know
i don’t hear you, what ya saying
the same old beat you keep playing
you chit chat, this and that, what have you done
seems like we go ‘round and ‘round
we build it up and we tear it down
keep on slipping back to square one

Higher
Road
you like the purple pills and potions
the grave is waiting for your entrance
fading fast in the end
you spend your days chasing dollars
spend your nights in twisted pain
counting loose change
you don’t need no stocks and bonds no credit card no bonus
points no fancy car
no million dollar house that ain’t a home
you don’t need no blackberry no flat screen no babies that
you never see
what you need is a higher road
i don’t want to seem pretentious
only speaking from my heart
i see it tearing you apart
that void you fill with useless things
will remain unchanged
until you see who you are
you don’t need no stocks and bonds no credit card no bonus
points no fancy car
no million dollar house that ain’t a home
you don’t need no blackberry no flat screen no babies that
you never see
what you need is a higher road
you don’t need no stocks and bonds no credit card no bonus
points no fancy car
no million dollar house that ain’t a home
you don’t need no blackberry no flat screen no babies that
you never see
what you need is a higher road
