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

A Place Called Home
05:22
|
|||
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.

On The Verge of a Smile
02:34
|
|||
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.

Tap In To The Light
04:49
|
|||
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]

I Know That Now
02:59
|
|||
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?

I'm still happy to be me.
