Keep The Fire Burning
02:30
|
|

|
Snow’s up to my knees
And the well’s running dry
The power has gone out
Bringing tears to my eyes
The trees are falling down
And the money’s running low
There’s not much food to be found
And I don’t no where to go
I’ve gotta keep the fire burning
It’s below freezing cold
I hope to make it to the morning
So I can get back out on the road
I’m trying to drive up an Ice Wall
But my car’s sliding into the woods
It’s hard to make sense of it all
When there’s so much misunderstood
I’ve gotta keep the fire burning
It’s below freezing cold
I hope to make it to the morning
So I can get back out on the road

No Man’s Land
01:41
|
|||
|
Dust dirt
Gas gravel
Wheels groan the sky moans for the road I travel
The air is so dry
Where the hawk flies
Windshield haze the road goes on for days
Stolen car I won't get far
It happened at a roadside bar
Looking back through window dust
Out here... in No Man’s Land
Talk radio
It’s getting late
Gun beside me
It sealed my fate
Stolen car I won't get far
It happened at a roadside bar
Looking back through window dust
Out here... in No Man’s Land

The Orphan Train
01:50
|
|||
|
Cut offed from my past
I have no foundation to stand on
Since my mother was unwed
The law put me on an orphan farm
Then I ran away only to find myself
On the means streets of despair
It’s a constant struggle to survive
In a world that doesn’t care
They caught me for stealing food and told me
That they didn’t want me around
So they put me the next Orphan Train
That was heading out of town
I’m on The Orphan Train going to an unknown city
I’m feeling sad and feeling pity
I’m on The Orphan Train they’ve promised me a home
But I’ve learned in life to fear the unknown
I’m on The Orphan Train I dream of a day
Surrounded with family and friends
I’m on The Orphan Train I can only hope and pray
That this nightmare will end
I’m on The Orphan Train… The Orphan Train

Shadows
02:28
|
|||
|
The bright day expires
Gasping the sun sets it’s fire
At skies edge…
Leaning gently kissing the earth’s brow
Phantoms stretch across shoulders…
To be here now
Shadows fade
Toward night density
Dome of solitude… sheltering me
Touching finality
With gestural grace
Shadows fade into ink blackness
Air brushed silence creates the space
Shadows fade
Toward night density
Dome of solitude… sheltering me

I’m really curious to hear the excuses
To your story built on lies
You think I’m a fool but you don’t understand
I’m many moves ahead of you in the game of checkmate
The people that you run with
Are all running away from one thing or another
They’re a bunch of losers hiding from the truth undercover
The Deception of Bad Love
Only leads to destruction…and we
Always find out too late when the
Deception of Bad Love becomes our fate

Change of Heart
02:59
|
|
||
|
Running from the pain, that tries to follow us each day
Wanting it all to be better for tomorrow
When we're coming from the heart, there's no need to justify
It all must relate like pieces in a puzzle
Why add to the fear that keeps building every year?
Everyone has their crosses to bear.....with a
Change of Heart.....we'll find our way back home.....with a Change of Heart...with a
Change of Heart.....we'll never have to be alone......with a Change of Heart
With a Change of Heart

Timmy
03:03
|
|||
|
The air is thick as the sun falls
Here comes the edge of sight and it's dark walls
Something rustles in the hedge of secrets
His mind races and instinct reveals
A dark night… dropped from the ceiling
Creatures awake… after lights stealing
Darkness comes crawling as if it were calling
Timmy needs the night so he can take flight
It's an inner urge, an awakened verge,
Where creatures surge…
And skitter to hiding
Instinct, obsession...
Hunger and repression
...
A calling to the wild
Darkness comes crawling as if it were calling
Timmy needs the night so he can take flight
It's an inner urge, an awakened verge,
Where creatures surge…
And skitter to hiding

Rebirth of Mother Gaia
02:37

|

|
Our energy vibrations...
Rising to the "Cosmic Dimensional Shift"
Time is speeding up…
To become "Infinite Timelessness"
Going beyond the "3rd Dimension”
Is that where we're going to?
Jump on the...
"Highway of Higher Consciousness”
And you'll see that it's all true
Tune into the :Universal Groove" of a..
"Higher Love"
Let go of your doubts and fears...
The angels sing from above
Closer to the Center of Our Universe...
Feeling “Cosmic Unity”
The “All That There” Is shinning brightly on...
“Our Divinity”
The Earth rejoices in celebrating her “5D Reality”
As the “Rebirth of Mother Gaia”
Awaits for you and me...

The Golden Age of Enlightenment
Our Earth's heartbeat frequency has risen exponentially after the end of the Mayan calendar in 2012. This higher vibration is effecting all life on our planet. This “Great Awakening” for our planet as well as for us humans in particular is making a shift into the “5th Dimension” for our “Spiritual Ascension” to transcend into the prophecy of “The Golden Age of Enlightenment.”

Utopia’s Song
02:38
|
|||
|
Gathering my thoughts amongst the rising tide
Conflicting viewpoints create opposing sides
The powers that be could care a less about you and me
They don’t want any peace or want us to be free
And there amongst the pain
The people can barely sustain
But soon a turning point shall come
To free us from our chains
The future still looks bright as we fill our hearts
With love and light
Utopia’s Song is calling us to where we belong

Priceless or Worthless
01:58
|
|
||
|
By the loose minded seeing blindsided is an asset sometimes… priceless or worthless?
You decide what seat on the ride is your sailing tide just hope floating by… priceless or worthless?
The one time lost paying the cost of
Unlearning non acceptance
The one time perfect the unsteady
Lurching the blackness purging
The soul searching in the name of a fiend…
Is it priceless or worthless?
Your dream awaiting unknown and fading
The deeper shading of what you're creating
Will prove worthy
Guard your kingdom oh wise man
The vampire of need cannot enter uninvited

You Never Listen To Me
01:57
|
|||
|
You Never Listen To Me or any of my problems
Meanwhile I'm drifting out to sea.....because You Never Listen To Me
You Never Listen To Me and it makes me feel so sad
You have no sympathy... because You Never Listen To Me
It's hard to sleep in this lonely room I keep
You probably don't know what that feels like
Whenever I reach out all I get from you is doubt
Why can't you try to be a little more understanding?
You Never Listen To Me or any of my problems
Meanwhile I'm drifting out to sea.....because You Never Listen To Me
You Never Listen To Me and it makes me feel so sad
You have no sympathy... because You Never Listen To Me
I realize that you might not love me like you use to
Maybe it's time to say good-bye
Because I don't know what else I can do

Whatever Happened?
02:35
|

Whatever Happened to the world that we once knew?
Whatever Happened I wish I had a clue
Whatever Happened to the smile that was on your face?
Whatever Happened to the human race?
Walking around in a daydream
Looking for some peace of mind
So many arrows pointing all around me
I guess I’m looking for some sort of sign
Whatever Happened to the world that we once knew?
Whatever Happened I wish I had a clue
Whatever Happened to the smile that was on your face?
Whatever Happened to the human race?
Do the leaders ever hear what we have to say?
You know that sometimes I just want to run away
But don’t you worry for I’m staying here with you
Watching the sunset as we wait for something new
Remember how we’ve forgotten
How we were once in tune?
Why can’t we solve these problems?
Didn’t we put a man on the moon?
Whatever Happened to the kindness we had
It makes me feel so sad
Whatever Happened to the courage to overcome fear?
Whatever Happened to the reason we came here?
