a way to the light​
all these days go by, flowers grow. they push through the snow. persistence is why beauty lasts. it holds on despite the past.
cuz nothing on this earth, has had an easy ride. but all of it survives from love inside.
I've been down and out before. and it's sure to come once more, but for... reasons that we can't explain, we need the fire and the rain, it's a strange way. but learning from our past mistakes, it integrates and inspirates our growth, so love can endure.
all these days go by, it seems so fast. our only certainty is nothing lasts. but while were on this earth we'll always know, that love has let us grow. I always believe it, even on the darkest days, somewhere you can see the sunshine's rays. cuz everybody out there is searching for the light, but all along it's found on the inside.
I've been round and back again. everytime I've been taught a lesson, and in... the outer glow of every soul remains the chance to lose control I know, so please hold on. cuz in every type and every kind of trouble that infects your mind you'll find... a way to the light.
A WAY TO THE LIGHT
listen
in all our hearts
​
i think i better step outside, people are gathered out in the streets.
there's something going on tonight, I feel a movement inside of me.
we're living in insanity, and boy the levy, it's gonna break.
for the love of all humanity we're moving on, now wide awake.
​
in all our hearts inside
is the same rhythm of life
the beat defeats the hatred in the streets
the time is now to throw your weapons down
when minds unwind, there is love for all mankind
​
i think it's time we take a dive into souls, into the deep.
nobody's getting out alive, so all possessions we can't really keep.
so how do we find our way through the dark?
​
made by the sun - connected as one - now slaves to a gun - but our day will come - when hatred is done - Mumbai to brooklyn - the fight will be won - by the power of love
IN ALL OUR HEARTS

highway song
​
driving the highway
in the rain
i put the top down
anyway
some people i've known
now lay beneath stone
and I hear them
calling out today
the good old days
ain't good until they're old
and had the time
to disappear
and longing for them
to return is useless
cuz there's only
now and here
​
but if i could
i'd grab my pack
and climb the highest hills
to get back to those
younger days
that made the mundane
turn to thrills
when music
made my mind explode
and my body got the chills
and all our lives ahead
for dreams fulfilled
now i know that
no one gets to stay
but we lose the good ones
too early
the county turns grey
the flood's taking place
but i feel like
I drowned already
HIGHWAY SONG

the only constant
​
captured by contentment, you say you'll never leave
but now your feet are dragging, i think i do believe
now is the time for moving on, the world waits for no one
you know it's now or never, the pressure's at the top
the world is ever-changing, the people rising up
now go grab your great weapons of choice
a guitar and a voice
​
the only constant in this life is change
you won't learn too much by staying on this page
so turn it over
​
the spirit of adventure, the lust to wander far
be a mover and a shaker, it's time to raise the bar
oh the amazing ride we're on, on this rock near the sun
there is but one purpose for every single creature
to make itself a copy, and be that copy's teacher
show all the children how it's done, with respect, grace, and fun
​
​
THE ONLY CONSTANT
listen
gone are...
​
gone is the stream we depended on
flown have birds from the drought
bare is the land we farmed on
dry minus the tears we let out
​
it's greed that makes us bleed
for nothing we need
and hate closes the gate
to let peace proceed
​
the ocean's alive
with the highest of waves
the great mountain range
is plagued and shrouded in flames
​
​
​
gone are the wise men we depended on
drowned are our homes from the flood
dead are the fish we thrived on
plagued by the waste of toxic mud
​
the state came in too late
to salvage our fate
the earth is priceless in worth
begin our rebirth
​
the world will survive
through the flood and the drought
the earth don't need us
but the earth we can't live without
​
listen
GONE ARE...
part of the system
​
we've had our eye on you awhile, boy
we know just what you've been up to
those posts and protests they concern us
now here swallow our version of truth
​
you're just a part of the system
oh boy they got a hold on you
you're just a part of the system, boy
how do i know cuz i am too
​
and every small town police force
got a riot tank waitin' for you
to haul you off to private prison
and make a profit too
​
​
your science just does us no good, girl
our shareholders say it's just not true
but we have got solutions for this problem
take this cash, deny facts, or you're doomed
​
you're just a part of the system
oh girl they got a hold on you
you're just a part of the system, girl
how do i know cuz i am too
​
and every pundit on your tv screen
they got a false flag wavin' for you
and we're braincuffed to the machine
programmed to consume
PART OF THE SYSTEM

losing my position
​
well america has spoken, as to what we really need
and it seems apparently it's more fear, hate, and greed
well the system isn't workin', and that we know for sure
but boy ain't got no clue the fury we'll endure
now we take it to the streets
the revolution is in heat
now if we all stay at home, our home's gone beneath our feet
now we stand up to the machine
stand up before the market crash
on the outside looking in, it's just the great white backlash
the parties are in embers, a foolish man the fuel
but the only way we're told is by elephant or mule
and now we yell it from the roof; it's a lie and we got proof
and men who hide their face say we can't handle the truth
now we stand for equality, we stand for minorities
we stand for loving the planet and each other as priority
revolution brewin' in the air
listen
LOSING MY POSITION

a living breathing world
​
better run for your life, for you are in danger. better run to the hills, become a high mountain ranger. cuz even your best friend can become a stranger. leave it all behind, and don't look back in anger. babylon is not reality. babylon, it breed insanity.
​
there's a world beyond your computer
there's a world beyond your front door
a living breathing world
​
with vibrations everywhere, the world is a speaker. poverty is the plague, cuz the greedy are eager. an exodus back to the land makes the system weaker. how long we stay on this earth depends on how we treat her. babylon create calamity. babylon oppress humanity.
​
there's a world beyond your country
there are worlds beyond our galaxy
yes living breathing worlds
A LIVING BREATHING WORLD

troddin' the wrong trail
​
they worship a god that they cannot see, and destroy the only one that they can
to build a temple they cut down the old fig trees they can pray for god to bring food to them
funny yeah i know, cuz we've been on down this same road over and over again
it's time to accept that this whole planet is stronger than gods of man
because we're troddin' on the wrong trail, we stay on this one and we all fail
we're troddin' on the wrong trail, a brand new paradigm must prevail
yes i know it's hard to let go of what you perceive , turns out the truth just is not what you believe
now one man put all his faith in the bible, one man put all his faith in koran
both don't got no trust for each other, and both of them don't understand
with evidence we benefit, and accept that someday we might be wrong
your whole outlook based on one book, and it's been mistook for far too long
listen
TRODDIN' THE WRONG TRAIL
oh be joyful
​
when you spend your days with reasons and ways
how you were betrayed by this earth
do not fail to see the reality
all that we can be has boundless worth
money takes you for a nice joyride
then just leaves you by a lonely curbside
the only thing in your control
is to embrace the beauty in your soul
there are some that never see an ocean
there are some who live behind a wall
when you think there's just too many problems
i say oh be joyful for it all
​
​
​
the storm is upon us all, why not revel in the rain - the flowers need to grow, find resilience to the pain - well the road ahead is long, brothers, sisters please adhere - and things don't change when strife's in range and you run away with fear
​
​
well it seems insane to go against the grain
yet if you refrain you'll have regret
one day you will find if you observe your mind
you're not left behind, no not yet
wondrous mountains are not easy to climb
but we are masters of this moment in time
the only thing you have to do
is know your dreams and follow them through
there are days when living seems useless
there are days when you will drop the ball
the fruit of life rests high up in the tree
but oh be joyful it still falls
​
OH BE JOYFUL
listen
sunset

a new day will dawn soon
a new day will dawn soon
a new day will come at last

forgive the past
a new day will dawn soon
