LYRICS
In the silent running
Of the water flowing
All together knowing
Where we’re going

Going down to the river
Down to the sea
Going down to deliver
Down to “the see”

In the silent running
In the midst of floating
All together knowing
Where we’re going
Chorus

In the silent running
All over the waterfall
Already knowing
Where we’re going
Chorus

LYRICS
Do you know what I mean
When I sing “floating down stream”?
Behave with the energy wave
… to the sea
Try to keep your head above water
Don’t ever go down for the third time
It really does matter
Living the nursery rhyme
Floating down stream
My body a boat in the dream
Embody “about” in the dream

LYRICS
Mother Nature says
It’s only a phase
The nuclear age
The good ole days
Have parted ways
Mother Nature says
It’s only a phase
Only a stage
Postmodern rage
Comin’ clean on the war machine
Funded by our ghetto scenes
The American dream going up in steam
From growing a heart that’s mean
Redeem!

The more I dream
The redeem scene
Obscene come clean
I mean the dream
No longer mean
Loving is keen
Heart is the queen
Mercy is seen
The redeem scene

LYRICS
If you feel your life isn’t that great
Be glad it’s not that way every day
I can surely wait for the mundane date
So if you might… if you may….
Bring on your beauty
The likes of which I thought I’d never see
Bring on your beauty
So I know what I am free

If you feel livin’ life is too late
Realize it’s never too late to participate
The rest of your life starts today
So if you might… if you may….
Bring on your beauty
The likes of which I thought I’d never see
Bring on your beauty
So I know what I am free

Wait! Please don’t go
Please stick around for the show
Wait! I need to know
One more question before you go:
Will you be joining the chorus of the universe?
Sweet harmonies throughout the verse

Ahhhhhhhhhh

Wait! Please don’t go
Oh, I really need to know
Wait! Please don’t go
For you have not a single foe
One more question before you go:
Will you be joining the chorus of the universe?
Sweet harmonies throughout the verse

Ahhhhhhhhhh

There’s a man over there
Can’t help but stare
Most people aren’t aware

Time to call the cows in
Time to call them home
Time the birds start singin’
Time all are welcome

The man had problems
To pain will he succumb
Ah man, is society that dumb
How come?

LYRICS
In the Fall, before the leaves fall
Hard to believe it’s the color of dying
All in all, could be a good call
Relieves and re-lives in the Spring
Funny thing… once you gain understanding
The color of the foliage and old age
Takes on a whole new meaning

Orange, red, golden brown
Flying in the wind… falling down
Aren’t you dancing with delight
In the Autumn twilight

Starlight, star bright… first star I see tonight
Or are you a planet
Venus, Mercury or Mars?
Thought jars… light traveled so far

Orange, red, golden brown
Flying in the wind… falling down
Aren’t you dancing with delight
In the Autumn twilight

LYRICS
Do you ever start thinking a little too much
Imagine a creature behind the hutch
Are you ever overtaken by your head
Imagine a “bad guy” is under your bed

Fear of the unknown
Is your cover blown

Do you ever over-think the situation
Letting rational go on vacation
Do your emotions get the best of you
So you feel there is nothing you can do

Come to realize
Your paralyzed

Quit!
Snap out of it!
Focus
On all of us

Purveyors of love
When you get right down to it
A) human conduit
Be) a conduit
See) a conduit

It’s as easy as A, Be, See

When I is you
We let it pass through
With the least resistance, too
You want to keep a few?
Let it pass through
Might as well let
The more you give
Be the more you get

LYRICS
The shapes in the sky
Take on my mind’s eye
A four dimension
… surreal ideal

Ripples on the surface
Like lines on a face
Time — the illusion
As old as you feel

Fate unseal
Life’s appeal

From Cron we steal
The moments we feel
Awake all living
Human’s start giving

Repealin’ the Reaper
Diggin’ in deeper
Pushin’ the head through
For the Earthly view

From unborn… being born
… onto life’s sojourn

Near the eye of the eddy
Where upstream is down
Gettin’ a little heady
In a spiritual realm

Near the eye of the eddy
Jewel of the Queen’s crown
Way more than ready
With Her at the helm

Spinning round n’ round
Twirling round n’ round
Spiraling round n’ round

Against the river’s flow
The settlers have settled on a settlement

Chorus
By settlement I mean they’re mean
From the genocide we must hide
Hide in Her spirit’s hide

Chorus

They’ll cut us down you know
Bullet versus bow
What are they thinkin’ over the color of skin?

Since we wouldn’t behave
As their slave
Over our land… their rag… their flag

Would you stop and pray

If you listen real easy
Then maybe
It won’t be so hard
For the chord to be heard

On the wind rides a whisper
The music kissed Her
Before you’re aware
She was already there

On the tide rides a soundwave
The music does save
Before you’re aware
She was already there
