Doing m' Thing
03:34
|
|||
|
Its Sunday morning
And I’m alone on the beach
Watching the beauty of sunrise
Wind through my hair
Caressing my face
Feeling the sand beneath my feet
Later that day
I’m walking through the park
Listening to the song on the breeze
Love is the thought
Peace in my heart
I know why
Chorus: Cause I’m doing my thing
The candles are lit
Incense stick burning
Nurturing the spirit within
Warm waters running
Sea salts are falling
Badu badu do we do be
Music is soft
Jazz to be precise
Strawberries lay in a dish
You may expect to hear someone at the door
But no tonight
Chorus: Cause I’m doing my thing

Music
03:24
|
|||
|
Music is the song I’m singing
Music is the way I’m giving
Music gives my life the meaning
Music makes my world go round
Music is the healer for me
Music is the love that I need
Music is a friend I turn to
Music understands me
Chorus: Yeah
Music is the space I pray in
Music is God blessing me
Music is the place I go to
When the world is stressing me
Music is the sea I swim in
Music waves wash over me
Music is the point I dream of
When I close my eyes to sleep
Chorus: Yeah
Music takes me to a world
Where I am happy, I am free
Music is the One I turn to
Music lives inside of me

Please Comeback
04:38
|
|||
|
I’m tired of being lonely
Even when you’re near
I’m tired of always fighting - so tired
The years have passed by
And yet we’re still together tonight
Arguing, bickering
Where did all the love we share go
Please come back
Please come back
Love our love
Please come back
I’m tired of always hiding
Even from myself
I’m tired of all the lies we’ve told us - so tired
The years have passed by
Yet we’re still alone tonight
Words of pain, tears of hate
When did all the love we share die
|

Love
03:38
|
|||
|
You’re eyes are closed
You’re next to me
Our fingers touching
Don’t fall a sleep
I want to see you nude in the moonlight
The shore is empty, this time its right
Cause you are the one for me
Baby can you see
We were meant to be
This is destiny
Our lips are tender
Our bodies close
Our hearts reaching
Who could give the most, thoughts are dancing slow
Our thighs now meet, our souls are singing, harmony sweet
Yes you are the one for me
We were meant to be
Love is in so deep
This is destiny
Love is so sweet.

Here are your thoughts
Here is your soul
Here is the time
Here is the goal
Here is your gift
Here is your light
There is the moon and
This is the night
So what’s your desire dear?
Write it down here
Make sure its clear
This is a prayer - Yeah
Now don’t you be afraid - No no no
The power lies within the body
Hold that picture in your mind
Now close your eyes
And realize
You’ll be alright
Its starting
Chorus
So let go
And soar… spread your wings and fly away
Let go
And realize
You’ll be alright
No need to fight
Its starting
Here is your dream
Here is your life
Here is the truth and
Here is the lie
Here is your high
Here is your low
There is a way… but
Before you go
What’s your desire dear?
Write it down here
Hold it so near
Make this is your prayer - Yeah
Now don’t you be afraid- No no no
Dreams only live within your body
Hold that picture in your mind
Now close your eyes
And realize
You’ll be alright
Its starting

VERSE 1
Inner falls
Search my soul
My silent soul
Inner lights
Need the sound of father sun before I find my way
In a spring rain
I was born
CHORUS
In this body
Nature's body
I've found my soul
It's angels' party… in my body
We'll dance with timeless soul
In spring rain
VERSE 2
On my hands
Water's falling in the forest inside of me
I'm already too far
And the sky sends its light for me
To clear my eyes

|
This world shun your light
Was too bright for its eyes
Left you to grope around
In darkness
Over the years
You fought for your right
To give to receive love
Now you leave us return to the light
Body lies in the grave
No more life - no more pain.

My Brother

My brother
I’m writing this
To tell you I love you
You showed me what true friendship means
This life is rough
But knowing you has made me better
You shared your strength
And I want you to know
Brother
You help me to grow
I thank you
Where ever you go
Always be/stay true
Sitting here
Thinking of
Tough times I came through
You were there, helped me make it through
This life gets rough
But knowing you has made me stronger
You shared your faith

Ancestors light our way
May your demons cease to scream and bring you fear
May they inspire you to grow
Chorus

Ancestors grant us peace
May you always climb the mountain of your dreams
May happiness surround you
Chorus
Peace be unto you
Blessings in all you do

Ones of Old
02:45
|
|||
|
The glow of 7 white candles
A circle of sea salt
Ancient words to open earth’s doors
1 drum beat dancing outside
You’ve fallen in a trance
Oh life’s burning with desire
Oh I’m speaking with the Ones of Old
Oh I’m filled with new meanings
High above this world I go
I’m seeing with new eyes now
An alter in the woods
A life misunderstood
4 symbols start with air
Water cleanse me, earth remake
Fire give me life
|

Hold On
03:55
|
|||
|
I laid in my bed last night
Starring up to the sky
The walls seem to be closing in around me
Tears welled up in the corner of my eye
Seems like these problems will never end
I need an answer - tell me when will this end
I know others looking in on me
Think that I have so much
they see all the things that I am doing
They don’t see me leaning on this crutch
Hope springs eternal as long as life lasts
But I need an answer - tell me when will this end
Hold on
|

Free
04:34
|
|||
|
Cut the strings untie the things
That keep you down, bound, facing ground
Lost now found
Undo the knot that keeps you caught
Wrought in despair, change is here
So calm your fears
No more disillusions
No more pain regrets
No more running scared when things don’t turn out right
No more sad heartbreaks
No more broke heartaches
No more wondering what will happen to me in the end
Free I want to be free
I want to soar, I want to fly
High in the sky no more to cry
Or watch love go by
One step at a time is how I’ll climb
Won’t stop until I reach the top
|

What would you do if you saw 2 children arguing?
What would you do if one of them was your own?
Now what would you do if they broke out into a fight?
How long would it take for you to call for…
Peace
Would if matter which child was right or which was wrong?
Would it matter which child struck the first blow?
Would it matter which religion each child belonged to?
No it wouldn’t matter at all; you’d just want some…
Peace
Well if this is what we want for our children
Why don’t we want if for ourselves?
War is never the answer, so lift your voice and call for…
Peace

The Beggar's Cup
05:14
|
|||
|
I am begging at this corner
I am lying here in rags
But I don't need no money
I want something that will last
I am sitting in the sunshine
But all I feel is rain
I wish I knew the answers
So I could end this pain
Winter is coming
But I have no where to go
I hope I don't die this time around
I hope I find my way back home
Cause they say that I cannot live out here in the streets
They say this is no place for me to be
They say this box is not a home
They say that man cannot live alone
That's why my hands they are trembling
Cause I'm tired and I'm scared
Tonight my cup is empty
It hasn't been filled in years
Chorus
So put a little bit a love in my cup now
Put a little bit of love today
Put a little bit a of love in my cup
Put a little bit of love today

I am a warrior preparing for war
I am a warrior I step through this door
The enemy is ignorance, the enemy is hate
I am a warrior, I’m fighting for love.

Lost/Found
07:02
|
|||
|
I once was lost but now I’m found
Was blind but now I see
I had been bound, my head facing down
And I stayed there out of my fear
I shut out the light, lost all my sight
Believe the lies and your soul dies
Felt like a jail, set up to fail
Glued to a box, couldn’t hear life knocks
Place I had been, knew I couldn’t win
Believe the lies and your soul dies
|

U
04:55
|
|||
|
CHORUS
U are my sun U are my moon
My universe revolves around U
U are my light my day and night
Clouds part when U enter the room
U are the wind U are the rain
Wash me make me whole again
U are my life U are my life
VERSE 1
This morning as I gaze at Ur sleeping face
There’s so much that I want to say
I want to tell U now how much U mean to me
I want to tell U now U mean the world to me
VERSE 2
I’d be lost and lonely without U
I’d be like a ship afloat without a sail
I’d do anything to spare U pain
I’d give up everything to live this way

Someday
05:25

|
Someday we’ll get together
Someday we’ll be all right
Someday we’ll stop this hatred
That’s keeping us apart
Someday we’ll know what love is
Someday we’ll lend a hand
Someday we’ll know who God is
Someday we’ll understand
Someday I’ll look into your heart
Someday you’ll look in mine
Just think of the happiness
You and I could find
Someday we’ll hug our sisters
Someday erase the scars
Someday we’ll see our brothers
Someday remove the bars
Someday we know our children
Love them for who they are

Faithful
05:24
|
|||
|
You told me you're broken
Told me you’re through
So much has happened don't know what to do
You've cried your last cry said your good-byes
Don't need him around just pulls you down
Have to put it all behind you leave if love's not true
He's not the one for you
He lies cheats never loves you
Shows you no respect always leaves you sitting here
Crying in a wreck
But I will be faithful
Can you find it in your heart to make a brand new start
Know that I'm here for you know that I care
Look into my eyes
What do you see
What do you feel
Do you feel how I am aching sitting here watching you cry
Can you see my heart breaking hearing you say you want to die
Can you feel the pain consuming me hearing you still love him
Can you know the anguish of my soul
Knowing that I could never say
That I will be faithful
I wish you could hear me… I'm saying I love you
I wish you could feel… I'm holding you tight
You're forever in my heart… I could never hurt you
I wish you could believe
That I will be faithful.

Another Day
02:12
|
|||
|
I see you standing there
Brown as Earth
Light is drawn to u
And I… I am drawn to sound
The sound of bare feet against cool wooden floors
The sound of your voice against my earlobes
What dominates your dreams?
What controls desire?
What ignites the fire?
What takes you higher?
What brings ecstasy to your fantasy.
Intensity to your sensuality.
What combines urgency, necessity, and exhibits complexity in my humanity.
Is it song?
Is it poem?
Is it candle light, the feeling of being light
Skin pressed tight, soft nibble, gentle bite
Bodies that fight and unite.
But u pass right by
A rose, a scent, a sigh
Mother Earth breathes,
Adjective and superlative cease to be definitive
Too sweet for words, too sweet to express
Too deep to formulate, too raw to communicate
Feelings and emotions suffocate, as I stare intently
Gaze directly in hateful anonymity at the brilliance
That is vanishing before my eyes
Step by step. Emptiness consumes.
Longing reverberates thru the hollow of me.
I am as I was b4.

Wade in the Water
04:31
|
|||
|
Every step along your way
Will lead your closer to me
And every sound my mouth creates
Will lure you closer to me
Chorus
Wade in the water
It's really not deep
Gaze out on the ocean if only for a peak
And when you get to that side
Where you feel you have to hide
Think of cool waters- the way you made me smile
Think of soft winds- the way you felt inside
In the dark where I wait for the dawn
I will say your cognomen
And when you do perceive
I'll be hear calming your fears
Wade in the water.

Me & U
03:45
|
|||
|
There you are... loving
There you are... trusting
I do believe in this love we share
I have no fear now that you are here
In my life
Here I am... near you
I only live... for you
And baby I want this way I feel to never end
You're my friend until the end
End of time
So here we are... together
I am yours... forever
And up until now I never knew what love could do
It brought me you
So here we are... caring sharing loving
And until now I never knew what love could do
Me & U
We'll make it through anything.

Come Back
05:10
|
|||
|
I wonder
Are u asleep tonight
Asleep while the moon gives light
And my heart don't feel so right
You're not by my side
I thought of you
As the sun went away
And I can't wait 'til my night will turn again to day
I need you in my life
All the fights we had
Don't seem to be so big right now
And all the pain we shared
Is nothing like the pain I bear
So close your eyes and may you have sweet dreams
And if there's time please think of me
I'll be waiting here
'Til the morning comes
Now I know I've done you wrong
I never should have left your side
But sometimes as we look away the treasure in our palms slips away
So now as I say goodnight
On my knees in this candlelight
I'm begging you
Please come back to me.

The Sad Song
04:02
|
|||
|
VERSE 1
Tear filled brown eyes
A look to memorize
Dark full lips
The ones you never kissed
A feeling deep inside
As dark as suicide
You run your fingers through my hair
And then you disappear-Oh
VERSE 2
Your things' still in my drawer
Your pictures line the corridor
I wish I could have known
Tonight I'd be alone
You put your hands around my heart
And then you pull apart
Blood is everywhere
But you don't even care-Oh.
|
||||
25. |
More Love
04:41
|
|||
|
VERSE 1
Have you ever paused to look into her eyes
Have you taken the time to find out why she cries
Would you stay for a while, while he tried to remove his disguise
And showed you the fear that he found buried deep inside
VERSE 2
Everyone out there yes they too deserve respect
It's not just ones with whom you can connect
Sometimes what appears to be different in truth is the same
Truth and love together should be the aim
BRIDGE
Cause there's pain and the air
And sweet smiles hide deep despair
And you could dry a tear if you cared
CHORUS
More love
We need more love
|

My soul has been longing
For some belonging
Searching never found
Ever spinning round
My heart has been waiting
Anticipating
Joy truly ever flowing
Peace beyond my knowing
I’ve been waiting for you
Been up been down been all around
I yearn the warmth of your sound
I’ve been waiting for you
I hoped and prayed then cried for days
But now you’re here in me
Motion always comes to rest
Flying birds soon come to nest
Immersed in beauty void of sight
Midnight sun illuminate my night
It’s quiet here inside me
Harmony reigns over me
I come to rest within myself
Here I do belong
I’ve been waiting for you
I rest in peace my agony released
I’m sleeping in your arms
I’ve been waiting for you
Melody passes through me and I’m born again
Now I don’t care what you think about me
I only know there’s peace within my soul
Now you may choose whatever Thing that pleases you
But it won’t take my love.

A Song For Mother
03:51
|
|||
|
You gave me life
You held me close
A Heart of pure gold
My first breath
My first step
You watched me grow
You called my name
Goodness and light
You gave me hope
This is my song for you
The hours
The lessons
The words and the books
The questions
The answers
The knowledge- the truth
Right and wrong
You made me strong
The power in you
And this is my song for you
The prayers you prayed
The nights you stayed
Down On your knees
The tears you cried, the pain you hide
The joy that you bring
The love you give
The life you live
The truth in your goals
You’re a rose enriching my soul
I honor you
I cherish you
I lift you up
I pray for you only the best
And in the heavens above
That You will hear for eternity
This message of love
This is my song for you
