Hummingbirds 04:06
Hummingbirds flashing their wings chartreuse hearts, blue morning sky maypole dancing in the trees waltzing with the butterflies so tiny so wonderful how I wish that I could fly Hummingbirds sing silent songs floating in pink evening sky Hummingbirds now dart away without even a goodbye

Guitar Man 06:24
Listen to the notes from his guitar with a melody inspired from afar hear the song he sings so fearlessly bringing with it truth and unity feel the music moving you along deep into the story of his song can you hear all Nature's harmonies? for all living things blend so perfectly Gaxing into distant stars above while strumming like the wings of a dove a world of color all inside his head and down its path he's probably often led he feels a troubled earth's lonely plea and the anguish of humanity his beginning and his end are both the same for he is waiting on the calling of his name and he sings, [CHORUS] Rain down on me Rain down on me Rain down on me let it rain down on you Listen to the notes from his guitar with a melody inspired from afar hear the song he sings so fearlessly bringing with it truth and unity perhaps we're not part of his audience he's a troubadour of the spirits a jouney of a lifetime brings him here just to sing one message loud and clear and he sings, [CHORUS] I've lived within the verses of his song maybe I've been that guitar man all along

When a restless spirit takes me away ever soaring with the friendly winds of change my heart will always remain tied to a place familiar to my sense she waits for me through all my pretense and there I'll go, though I always know she will carry me on back to that plce it is a place called home. To a world of separate lives we are born we are innocent, fearless, and free yet somehow we are all parts of the whole we ride the waves, we chase each day of our choice keeping close to our hearts a mother's voice and when it's time she calls out to me it's then I miss that heaven;y place it is a place called home. Like the Kings and Queens of our own lands and the man in the moon ever smiling, guiding us towards our own destinies keep climbing higher until you touch the sky then you'll know how much you're loved and why be curious, don't be afraid always carry with you your special place it is a place called home there is nothing like the tender embrace of a place called home never give up your place called home.

If I'm dreamin' just for awhile don't wake me, I'm all lost in a lullaby Look! I'm flying! or am I floating? silently on my way to a place, never been before You never lose it, the way you feel it's forever, raining down on those you love. Feel like bustin' right out loud I can't seem to hold it in help me now, I'm on the verge of a smile. Somehow it seems like I never went away time has no meaning for me anymore memories zero in from everywhere I'm living on the verge of a smile. So if I'm dreamin' just for awhile don't wake me, I'm all lost in this lullaby feels so peaceful but hard to keep from bustin' right out loud could it be I'm on the verge of a smile? well look at me, I'm on the verge of a smile help me now, I'm on the verge of a smile.

With the coffin cloaked in rags never seen behind the curtain something from the past still nags and taunts you with a future uncertain. Keep it with you in your bag hunger leads one to the table nothing learned if nothing asked and nothing lost by looking at the label. Find a way to look for the day and you might leave the night behind. [CHORUS] Dark Night turn bright tap in to the source of every light tap in to the light What's wrong will right tap in to the source of every light tap in to the light Coffee keeps the morning grind smoke and ashes reach the ceiling look into the bottle find refractions of a painting peeling Don't give in to one way signs when the consequence is deadly bits and peices never jve but pieces put together cling more readily. Find the time to recite the rhyme and you might see a small design. [CHORUS] You can see the world from the sky open your eyes, fly. Mystery from distant lands knowledge held by village wise men who dreamed of fertile desert sands and the revelation sown inside them written in an ancient hand from a future age of reason when everyone will understand and of the fruits of peace we'll have a harvest every season Find a way to work towards that day and we might be alright for all time. [CHORUS]

If you knew that in your life you'd lost that feeling could you find it in yourself to let it go? There is change all around, we all move forward and there are some things we know we can't hold down. Is it just that hard to keep on saying, "I love you"? knowing well inside our hearts there lies a truth. When does it make no sense to keep on fighting? 'cuz each time we do, it takes a piece away. It's nobody's fault, can't blame each other we will go on, 'cuz love never dies and good can come, fill it with kindness follow your heart, it is the answer I know that now.

Son Rise 03:53
Even though you're only three thoughts of your life come, to me I can see you playing ball will you play some catch, with me? or will you play the steel guitar leading your own band, some day? When I tuck you in at night do you dream of magic fairy tales? Oh-h just look at you, so beautiful you're such a part of me, hard to believe Maybe you will rule the world or write a famous song? Either way I will be so proud. Will it be dragonflies, and chocolate cake? as you go and climb the perfect tree When you watch the birds, do they make you wanna fly? Just like me. Frizzle frazzle razzle dazzle, singing songs of A B C's and 1 2 3's uh huh toothless smiles and skinned knees, blue eyed little girls Second grade will be real tough on you Sleep has come so quietly, eyes already closed looking at you lovingly, I can hardly wait to see oh how will my son rise?
