These angry seeds
These angry seeds
These angry seeds could hurt our garden
We pull the weeds we are the guardians
Of the truth, it’s all up to you
The traps are set make sure you don’t fall in
Real facts don’t change- is your mind calling
For the truth, or just what settles you
Lies like thorns prick, bleed, and salt the soil
Reckless words burn down our house with fire
Better together link arms and raise your voice
Speak for justice, freedom, and for choice
These angry seeds they want you to love them
Give us water give us all of your sunshine
Til’ we’re tall, and control the garden wall
They want to be the only flower
To make decisions and abuse their power
But these vines, will come down
Pull them out of the ground
Lies like thorns prick, bleed, and salt the soil
Reckless words burn down our house with fire
Better together link arms and raise your voice
Speak for justice, freedom, and for choice

Beauty Rests in Time

We are old
Older than we know
We have wisdom
It’s sewn into our bones
We are fruit
Born of the same seed
Nerves like roots
Lungs like trees
Golden sunshine
Bright blue sky
You are my home
My cosmic tie
To the soul of
This earth of mine
The ever-changing rock
Beauty rests in time
Beauty rests in time
Beauty rests in time

Tame Like a Storm (Live)
04:03
|

Fly like a bird and sting like the words
That your old lover oh they threw at you first
You are better dear
You will always be better than them
Leave the wounds that you got in the war
They can be gone forgotten, but still sore
You are lonesome in your heart
But you don’t have to stay alone
‘Cause I will build you a better home
Wind like water through the rocks
And sway like you’ve never been lost
You’ll never stay lost for very long
‘Cause I will build you a better home
I’m tame like a storm
Lost like a bird in the hurricanes above
South Florida’s coast
And I, wanna be free
I’m high above it all I’m far up in the trees
You can try to catch up with my but
You’ll need a strong breeze to take you there
High above those clouds
And I don’t know if I’ll
Ever come down
Don’t tell me that you love me if you treat me like dirt
These small words won’t define my worth

Rise

|

I am cold and I am tired
I am weak I am looking for
Something I can chew on
Something that I can believe in
I am sick and I am weary
I sometimes lose faith in the
Process of healing
But I meditate and breathe
And I trust my cup of tea
I am just a vessel a traveling soul
Led by consciousness my body is a ship
And we are headed for a storm
But we will rise above the waves
We will rise above the waves
Rise, Rise, Rise

Daily

I have something that sustains me
Like the sun’s rise
I need it daily
So just let me be
All alone not often lonely
I’ve been wrong before
But this time I’m sure
This time I’m right I’m sure
Take me outside take me in
When the light starts to dim, I’ll be fine
I’ll bottle the moonshine
And I’ll bathe in the wind
I’ll feel clean again
I’ll feel clean again
I’ll feel clean again

Breathe
04:04
|
|

|
When it all comes down to one bad call
And it feels too hard- don’t take it personal
When you climb to the
Top of a mountain
And rain starts to fall
If you look around
You’ll see that the ground
Has provided a space
For you to be safe
And you have what you need
Trust your hands trust your feet
And then take the time to be
Grateful and breathe
When you climb to the
Top of a mountain
Just enjoy the fog
When storms roll around
You may see dark clouds
But there will be space
Where everything is
Blue and green
Blue and green
Be grateful and breathe
Be grateful and breathe

Safe in my Heart
04:46

|

You never wanted to stay
Right here with me
But now here you are
Safe in my arms
Do you still want to leave?
It’s okay with me
But you’ll make me cry
When you are gone
Don’t you want to stay
And share this bed with me
It gets really cold at night
We could run away
Share this ride with me
Dust in the wind when we leave
Don’t promise you’ll stay
If you don’t know
That it’s me you want
I’d rather just know
Don’t you want to stay
And share this bed with me
It gets really cold at night
We could run away
Share this ride with me
Dust in the wind when we leave
You’re safe in my arms
You’re safe in my heart
You’re safe in my heart
You’re safe in my heart
You’re safe in my heart

Sweet Talkers

They’re a bunch of sweet talkers
‘til three in the morning
Talk will turn sour
and I’ll try to leave
They’re a bunch of sweet talkers
Until it all turns sour
They think that I’m special
I’m just gonna break your heart
I’ll break your heart
Like ooh
Cause you’re not really special
And I’m not sentimental
Woah I’m just gonna go again
Let’s go again
Like aah
I don’t wanna rest
With such a charming fucking mess
On the bed,
On the bed by my side
Cause you’re not really special
And I’m not sentimental
Woah I’m just gonna break your heart
I’ll break your heart

The Dawn II

Wake before the sun
We are the stars
Your smile is bright like the dawn
It’s pushing me on
It’s pushing me on
It’s pushing me on
Run like cats through the night
You’re here safe by my side
We are free
Just you and me
Just you and me
Hold me tight all around, all around
Strong like roots from the ground, from the ground
Hold me tight all around, all around
Strong like roots from the ground, from the ground

Spread Your Wings
04:32
|
|
||
|
We are going somewhere
Headed for greatness in bounty to share
Where the summers are always green and
No damn blocks the river
The water runs free
We are on a journey of self
Bound by the change of the wind
We’re moving on, we’re moving on
Don’t forget to write home
My wings are wide but my roots are strong
I promise I won’t let you down
As long as we stay grounded
And steady in soul
I told you once
I told you twice
I told you a thousand times
I know you
I know you too
I’ve seen you
Gold and blue
But I’m always
Looking out for you
Mocking bird, they call you mean
But they don’t know
Much about anything
She told me
"Chickadee spread your wings
Go where you want your
Beginning to be"

Keep our rivers clean
Don’t mess with my mountain streams
Keep our pine trees tall
Don’t let those wild forests fall
You may have the power
But you’ll never have the mountain
You may have the power
But you’ll never know the magic
Keep our rivers clean
Don’t mess with my mountain streams
Keep our pine trees tall
Don’t let those wild forests fall
It’s in you and it’s in me
That’s the secret of the seed
It’s in our hearts in and in our hands
That’s the secret of the land
Surrender to gravity
Surrender to longevity
Surrender to the mother earth
She put you here she was here first
Surrender to gravity
Surrender to longevity
Surrender to the mother earth
She put you here she was here first
Surrender to gravity
Surrender to longevity
Surrender to the mother earth
She put you here she was here first
