FLYCHTER
Arms spread out
Palms to the ground
Barely to the clouds
But I can see you now
Smiling in the clear
Out in the open air
The hounds off the leash
Watch them running free
It’s okay to say
We don’t know the way
The waves crash and break
Or how many they’ll take
DOWN RIVER
The hawk and the hummingbird
I saw you hanging out
The tree had no leaves
And you were looking back at me!
I’m looking back again
And you’re looking back at me
We need our spirit renewed
To be free
Spirit renewed
The crow and the seagull
Fight in the sunset light
Red ants and the fog fall
In nature’s lap
Down River
I swear we were
Maybe this is a reflection
Of what’s to come
Spirits renew
Spirits renew
To be free
We’re in the city again
Spirits renew
To be free
Spirits renewed
Set me free
LOCUS OF CONTROL
It wasn’t time
You weren’t in the right mind
It wasn’t the right time
What else could I say?
It doesn’t matter
Cause you don’t remember
Maybe we can piece it together
It was good though
We talked about it
Maybe it’s just not the right time
Time to rest
It’s time to rest
It wasn’t the right time
I was out of mind
I wasn’t there
It was somebody else in my skin
DRIVEN BY FORMS
I wasn’t gonna work things out
I do what I can when I have to
I wasn’t gonna work things out
There’s just so much I have to remember
And that’s life, I understand this
it’s a two way street
Transfer me under the sun
I wasn’t gonna do what you want
And you seem to take issue with what I’m gonna do
And my solution was just to change my belief
Who deserves it more than me?
A rope to wander on
For us to hold onto
Don’t you know we all are learning
it’s a two way street
GOLDEN GROVE
HEAL YOU – by Alex B
This satellite song trial
Been blinking for a while
And no one’s coming home
I wash my shoelaces
And count my pennies too
Please
Heal you
Come on
Heal you
please
The keyboard’s quiet
And the curses roll
Back In New Orleans
How I was a fool
I thought about you
Like you were brand new
But your not you’re old
And I have been thinking
Please
Heal you
please
Heal you
Come on
Heal you
HOUR 73
In and out of sleep, for days 1,2,3
Every face I know, parade in a row
Familiar sounds; the week is out
Neighbors, the sun; I miss everyone
Entered the forest where it was darkest
To know the path was yet uncharted
But I got lonesome, broken and cold
I will heed your call, time to come home
It’s now hour seventy three
For a moment, so brief
Feel the wind against skin
The light so magnificent
It gets easier
BACK OUT
It all surrounds you
In and around you
A call comes through
From without, a rescue
Call out to me
Before you leave
Down the road
We both know
Holds nothing
New or beautiful
Come home
Come on home
It’s open and warm
On the other shore
It all surrounds you
In and around you
A call comes through
From within, a rescue
Call out to me
Before you leave
Down the road
We both know
Holds nothing
New or beautiful
Come home
Come on home
It’s open and warm
On the other shore
PLEASE BE REAL
Can move you
You believe it to
Can move you
You act so hard to be this sad
The rich keep getting really sure you’ll stay
Rich keep getting really sure you’re still around
I love to bring the open heart
Please be clear, uh huh!
Please be clear
It and I am well I thought
Run through you
Human needs – come true
Right through you
Blood-red hearts now seize their chance
Pure are lifting building toward a break
Pure uplifting pulling for us to get out
We have to land in an open field
Please be real, uh huh!
Please be real
You and I are real I know
WASTELAND
You and I know
What the world owes
It’s up to us
We were turning
Old and cold and unloving
We were turning
We’re returning
From being lost and cold
And not understood
You and I owe
Must explain it to them
We were turning old and under
We were giving everything
to make the best for everyone
Returning with compassion
That once was so strong
We are returning
You and I owe
What the world knows
It’s up to us
Earth divers returned
Dark waters drained to nightfall
Many chose themselves
They plunged into isolation
Cast themselves the garden
Exiles died from avarice
Out of death comes new life
Returning to the surface
Prepared for sacrifice
Born through all we give
FEEL FREE
Bet you can
Be with me
Feel free too
For me
If you share
This with me
Ill be ready
Swim across
The lake with me
I dream it is the way
It should be
It is what you
Must do with me
This aint no tiny victory
I want you to feel free with me
It is the timeless mystery
A light that you and I can see
This aint no tiny victory
We’ve got to live life free
COST ILLS
A struggle to breathe
The sea is too beast-like
Conscious, so conscious
beneath each line
Just don’t want an elusion
Don’t want illusions (do you?)
See the set up, and we get it
Just enough to keep us
When I stop
And go outside
Then I see
Some humanity
Pursuing the wrong thing
The wrong dream
We want our own thing
Our own dream
Object-Process-You & Me-Community
We angle to reach
From deep in the di-vide
Constant, so constant
We need free time
Aims and trades
Could coincide
Then we’d be
A community
Pursuing our own thing
Our own dreams
Beyond your own thing
Our own dreams
