dive in
I dived in as it was
I learned to swim
It pulled me bank to bank
Under the surface
I learned to breathe
When things don’t always seem right for me
You wanted a change that i
Could not oblige
And your demands, they fell like sand beneath my feet
I stood a fluid stance and felt the heat
Nearly fade away from further downstream
And she beckons on
Come on to river’s end
To the place where rivers end
They may not be finished there
But we have to see further yet
I give in as it comes
There’s a joy in also letting go
Beneath the surface
Is wading
And the shallow end’s no start for me
I wanted a change so i
Made the time
And my plans they rise like cities neath my feet
I build and move it on every scene
Slowly fades away from further downstream
Isn’t it lovely
I flow, I flow

across the bridge
you are all the moments come alive
i voice it over
but the sadness has a grip on you and i
have only broken
pieces of my heart to throw in time
across this ocean
watch for jagged rain and take the line
i'm always hoping
hold on tight, follow the sound down
hold on tight, follow the sound across the bridge
you have lead the beauty into life
this heart unfrozen
it was melting and you fell right through the ice
arms wide open
pieces of my heart they made a line
across this ocean
watching every step expect to find
the one you've chosen
everything's alright when we align
we always told em
but the grief was more than either you or i
could ever show them
pieces of the past they seem to lie
across this ocean
catch your wave and history provides
the you come open

the good sleep
i have real reason to cry, she said
looked at what i did not ever want
and why
the past was a bitter memory
and now is unideal
but learned to dream in future bliss
and it changed the way i feel, she said
i won't wake up to the world
you made less
i won't wake up, don't wake me yet
i want more
they call me irresponsible
to focus on where i'm going
you cannot stay just where we are
we all expand, we all reach far
look to all our nature for this knowing
no secret, it's in the open
this world is in how you focus
they say you're hopeless
she says, i'm choosing
and since my world is up to me,
i get to disagree

Other people
There’s a lot of other people in this world
Awareness tends to evade the people of this world
Fairness is about the way you choose to shape your world
And care is shown by the way you choose to share your world
it’s alright to show them
it’s alright for them to know you
it’s alright to show them
it’s alright for them to know you
There’s people who’ll tell you problems of this world
Impaired to ever really solve the problems of this world
The glares, they come when you decide you are not of this world
Declare, where’s the meeting place for people of my world?
it’s alright let’s show them
it’s alright for them to know us
It’s alright let’s show them
it’s alright for them to know us

The story
You speak, I’ll listen closely
Your mind is lovely
I will be
Reaching my knowing higher
We dance
You’ll lead and I am complete with
The form, your story
As in escaping fire
Many have told it wrong
Given or taken on the fall
Many have told it wrong
Given or taken on the story
I sit, watch your lips
They reveal the myth
Of how we began
It is the sum of all
And in time she moves
Away, he hides clues
So now all her light
Depends on where she finds it
The fight cannot exist
When our minds give
The light all within and need no permission
The fight can no where exist
When our minds persist
The light is with and knows no conditional love
Many have told it wrong
Given or taken on the fall
Many have told it wrong
Given or taken on the story
Ooooooh
You speak, I’ll listen closely
Your mind is lovely
I will be
Reaching my knowing higher
We dance
You’ll lead and I am complete with
The form, your story
As in escaping fire

to sing
the morning wakes with me
and i'm alive to see
another vision
that guides the way
gather nervously at first
come to one quickly of course
the world around ascended
as our voices met
so can we move our lives
to the side
before our schedules allow
break out
most united see
the laughter magic brings
spirits lifted
as our rise was planned
the stance i ask forever
that we be belong and meant for
from one to one together
new on this adventure
and sing….

how you'll love it be

how you'll love it be
i wanna see the whole picture
i want my rhythm to be kind
in the comfort of
my soul's upliftment
every thought is high
anticipation is useless
until i find a place within
there is a calm
my spirit's knowing
this true love exists
all the beauty around
you'll see,
how you'll love it be
the best way to imagine it,
is how you'll love it be,
watch it all come around.
i swam in uncertains
now i know our future's hold
no use in getting hung on temporary,
old complaints we've known
i wanna take these steps wisely
let our guards be of the past
it's a new day
and i'm calling happy
come, let's make this last

silence entirely

silence entirely
there are words
that go unsaid
where would we be
without them, then?
i've a place
where i, within,
travel further than space
permits
i know more, more than words speak
i am silence, all; entirely
there are thoughts in my head
guiding gently to hidden depths
in the hall of all despair
i know my soul, she meets me there

The season's a reflection
Oh the snow comes down around my feet
There is a quiet here
Always, all the silence is golden
No other world can take it
No others built to face it
Able, framed well and traceless
The season's a reflection
Oh the bloom of jasmine in the air
There is a waking here
Always, all the colors are glowing
No other land could holds its mite
No others built to witness why
It’s opening, known for saving
The season's a reflection
Oh the waves that crash upon the shores
There is a knowing here
Always, all the waters are calling
None who ask could hear its whys
No one can swim its great divide
It’s keeping all my secrets
Fall spirals down around the ancients
Help me accept the better ages ahead
Fall spirals down around my changing
Help me accept the better ages ahead
In the season, a reflection
Reflection, reflection, reflection…

miss you

miss you
it's a bit eerie,
the air
that you left behind
when you decided
to fly away
i can understand
wanting to move on
but i can't get this feeling
away from me
there's another way
i've come to deal with
the space
that you suddenly
left me holding
there's another way
i've come to deal with the space
that you left me holding here
it's a bit eerie
while i miss you
i still feel like you're here
but on those crazy nights
when i come home
and find myself all alone
i remember that
i held you so near, so near
but there's another way
i've been dealing with the space
you left me holding onto
since you left
there's another way
i've been coping with the space
that you left me holding so tight
as long as i miss you,
i cannot find you.
