Ungrateful sun
Shining on us all when we’re trying to sleep
Ungrateful Moon
Stirring lovers their souls to keep
Ungrateful love
Uninvited giving us reason to live
Ungrateful child
And the everlasting love you give
Thankful cow. Chewing greens
Thankful sow. Her sucklings to wean
Ungrateful Sky
Deep blue always blowing my mind
Ungrateful Stars
Plotting my way so I may find
Ungrateful sun
Shine on my enemy
Shine on my lover
Shine on my back door
Some day
Shine on my enemy Shine on my lover Shine

If this living don’t kill me
I’ll Never die
Smash to the ground
Until I learn to fly
Let me tell you how / as I climb the highest bough
I can see so far now/ I am unbound
The sky is forever
She kisses the ground
birds hang silent In the air
watching the beasts of the ground as we wiggle our tails wallow in the mud / wallow in the mud
and wail
If this living don’t kill me
I’ll Never die
Smash to the ground
Until I learn to fly
The sky is forever
She Kisses the ground

Joy
Scratch the ground
Lay the seed
Stomach wants
The Mind Needs
Hands in the soil
Head in the clouds
Sweat and toil
Cry out loud
Joy. Joy .Joy
Raise your voice
Sing your song
You cannot sing it wrong
Sing : Joy. Joy. Sing Joy Joy

Free

Free My Mouth of the word ‘enemy’
Free My eyes to see the love in front of me
Set me free
Free My hands Lord, so I may give
Free My Heart, So I may live
Teach Me to Forgive
Free my ears to the song of the Bumblebee
Free My feet to meet the world under me
Set me free
Seasons Change
Things turn strange
Confusion and rage
May Blind us to the beauty that surrounds us
Free my body when It’s my time to go
Feed the worms and the beetles down below
Where the clover grows
Free my soul into the darkest night
Set it free into the night
To the light

All Right
Lying in the Rye
She Rose all over me
Lion in the Rye
She Rose all over me
Your Love Comes rolling from
Heaven to the Sea
Rollin’ and Tumblin’
In a Fishbowl of desire
Melting away in the
Heart of your fire
O Come desire
Today is destiny
Burning higher
Today is yet to be
I see your Tail
In the Night
I see your Tail
Burning across the sky
Shine on us all
Let us all know It’s all all right
Shine on us all
Let us all know It’s all all right

Flora Rosa, Flora Rosa may I sit by your fire?
I Smell your bread rising I just need your smile
Sitting in your kitchen window to the South
In your light I listen to your gumdrop mouth
Colored our days, Burned at night
Earth and Fire in tongues of rhyme
Nora Rosa, Nora may I sit by your fire?
I Smell your bread rising I just need your smile
Late in the wine, the Archer lets loose the string
Arrows divine, I can still feel them sting
Nora Rosa, Nora may I sit by your fire?
I Smell your bread rising I just need your smile
Mountain towers halfway to the sun
Flowers sing the pollinator song
Memory canyon echoes your name
Like a child abandoned crying in vain
Nora Rosa, Nora may I sit by your fire?
I Smell your bread rising I just need your smile

Just Like Me
03:33

Just a pimp Just like you
Just a chimp Throwing poo
Just a rat Just like me
Eating cats Spreading fleas
Just a viper Just a vole
I’m going to follow you
Down your hole and
Swallow you whole
Just a germ On a pachyderm
Just a dervish Whirling away
Just a thought Just stardust
Just dirt Thrown away
Just a beetle Just a roach
I will be here at home
From coast to coast
When man is toast
//////
I don’t know / you don’t know;
They don’t know / we don’t know
We hope, live under faith
We walk on and hope we don’t break
Give us a sign / show us a why
Give us a break / teach us to fly
We’re your creation you know what we can take
Living in faith / don’t let us break
Living in faith
Everybody eats some, everybody eats somebody,
Every body eats - some body some time
Just breath it in
I don’t know / you don’t know;
They don’t know / we don’t know
We hope / we offer faith
Keep walking / Don’t let us break (Show us a why)
Living on faith /Don’t let us break
Keep Walking / Don’t let us break

Last Midnight
Last midnight I heard a howlin’
I was a’fright
For the devil was callin’,
Callin’ me to her side
I held my head; I heard a drummin’
To wake the dead.
And my lover
Oh, my, how she cried
If you don’t love me
Why don’t you marry the devil?
Maybe the devil can take your evil ways
Maybe the devil can take your evil ways
Surely the devil is gonna love your ways.

Forever and a Day
03:23
|

How long will you love me
You asked me one fine day
As I lay In your afterglow
The answer to this question I know
As long as children run and play
As long as there are words left to say
As long as there are flowers in May
I'll love you forever and a day Forever and a day
[Music]
Well I guess forever came today.
With sorrow. Comes tomorrow
You asked
How long have I missed you
You asked
How long shall I kiss you
You asked
How long will you be mine
I pray forever and a day

If I had my way I would tear this wall down today
Between wrong and right, left and right, Night and day
If I had my way I would tear this wall down today
Living and the dying, laughing and crying
And the laws of gravity
I’m gonna fly away, sky and the ground and the water
Will be all over me
The living and dying laughing and the sighing
Will Fly with me
We’ll raze the stones and build bridges
Temples to love
And when we are finished
Laying down in our love
Lift the veil between us
Reveal Love love love
If I had my way I would tear this wall down today
Emancipate from the embrace of this duality
And reveal the one nature and multitude of love
Tear down the prison walls of the mind and find
What we’ve always been denied
If I had my way I would tear this wall down today
Pull down these bricks of fear and draw you near today….
If I had my way if I had my way
I would tear down this wall of misunderstanding
And hold you to me
