Come Away
03:19
|
|||
Like a warm blue sea, darlin, your love washes over me
Don't know where I am or where you begin
I get so lost in you
Its like a river so long without a destination
Cause there is none
Like a river so long without a destination
It goes on and on, on and on, on and on
Just like eternity
Eternity, sweet eternity
Its how long I want you with you
Come away with me, darlin, won't you come away with me
Come away with me, my love, won't you, won't you come away with me
Upon a broken ridge
I lifted my hands into the sky
I didn't have to ask anymore
I knew who I was born for
Its like a river so long without a destination
Cause there is none
Its like a river so long without a destination
It goes on and on, on and on, on and on
Just like eternity
Eternity, sweet eternity
Its how long I want you with me
Come away with me, darlin, won't you come away with me
Come away with me, darlin, won't you come away with me
Come away with me, my love, won't you
Come away, come away, this river's so long
Come away, come away, this river's so long
Come away with me, my love, won't you come away with me
Come away with me, darlin, won't you come away with me
Come away with me, my love, won't you, won't you come away with me

Victor's Illusion
04:29
|
|||
Strong is the arm of the conquerer
But weak the mind that guides them
Shiny were the medals of honor
But oceans of blood it cost them
Long are the swords of the righteous
But short the tempers the wield them
To the victors
Go the illusions
They call this the conquerer's confusion
What is gained when blood is the cost
Control is won, but true power is lost
To the victors go the illusions
(You can conquer but you cannot win)
They call this the conquerer's confusion
(You can conquer but you cannot win)
Conquerer's retribution
(You can conquer but you cannot win)
(You can conquer but you cannot win)
Conquerer's retribution
Oh oh, ah ah...
Those who spit fire and anger burn their own tongues the worst
Pointing a finger at another leave three pointing in reverse
Those who spit fire and anger burn their own tongues the worst
Pointing a finger at another leave three pointing in reverse
Oh oh, ah ah...
Immense were the war-time profits
But the price was far more grimm
Fierce was the enemy
But not at cruel as the politician
Vast were the newly won lands
But more were the tears that watered them
Frigid are the dead in the grave
But colder are those that put them in
Oh oh, ah ah...
To the victors
Go the illusions
They call this the conquerer's confusion
What is gained when blood is the cost
Control is won, but true power is lost
To the victors go the illusions
(You can conquer but you cannot win)
They call this the conquerer's confusion
(You can conquer but you cannot win)
Conquerer's retribution
Conquerer's retribution

Regina

Like castles on the sand
Where's our love's foundation?
We've both sinned, but here I am alone
Cryin in the wind
Whenever I get up and out
You wanna drag me down again
The straw that breaks the camel's back
Is the one that you're holdin
Regina, Regina
I want to be there
Whenever you call my name
I said, Regina, Regina
I was always down for you
Whenever you called my name
I'll be down for you
I'll be there for you
I'll be lovin you
Whenever you call my name
I'll be there for you
I'll be down with you
I'll be lovin you
Why don't you just call my name
Regina, Regina
I'll be always there
Whenever you call my
Who among us
Did not come to learn?
Who among us
Was not born to learn?
Ease up, finger pointers
We all get a turn
On the circle, yeah
It all comes back around
Who among us
Can throw the first stone?
Who among us
Did not come to learn?
Ease up, ease up
Finger pointer, stone throwers
Ease up, ease up
Condemnaters and beraters
Ease up, ease up
Mud slingers, tongue lashers
Who among us
Can throw the first stone?
Blame masters, criticizers
Ease up, ease up
Who among us
Did not come to learn?
Wanna be a rock
But your crushin me
With all your scoldin
Wanna lift me up
But you got me down and broken
I wanna be your love warrior
Not your forgotten trojan
Regina, Regina
I want to be there
Whenever you call my name
Regina, Regina
I want to be there
Every time you call my name
Whoa...
I'll be there for you
I'll be down for you
I'll be holdin you
Whenever you call my name
I'll be there for you
I'll be lovin you
Whenever you call my name
Regina, Regina
I want to be there
Whenever you call my name
We've come so far
But there's yet another mountain
To climb
We've come so far
But there's still another river
To cross
We've come so far
But our journey isn't over, not yet
We're not done, done, done
We've come so far, so far, so far
The road ahead
Is long I know
We've come far
Look where we are
Burden's heavy
And hard to tow
Drink this music
And feed your soul
Come, my love
Let us dance
Let the past
Sleep at last
(scatting)
Got a long way to go
But we can get there
Yes I know
If we just try
We can get by
All of those things that they said
We could never do
Yeah we've got a long way to go
But we can get there
Yes I know
If we let love and kindness keep showing the way, yeah
We've got a long way to go
But we can get there, yes I know
If we just try
We can get by
All of those things that they said
We could never do
We will make it through
We will make it through
We will make it through

Wake the Words
03:18
|
|||
(scatting)
When I stood at Standing Rock
I called to the men with badges,
"Why follow those orders
To protect the greed of others?"
You listen to the rich men's slurs
But they too need these waters
We all need these waters
We all want clean water
Ain't no other side, no
We on the same side
Ain't no other side, brother
We are one tribe
This is our chance
Let's take it
You want a change?
Let's make it
If there's a rule that needs to be broken
Then, damn, let's break it
I'm gonna wake the words up
I'm gonna fill 'em with fierce love
I won't loose the vision
This world I dream of
This will be done
Ain't no room for shoulda
This burden in my heart
Somethin they can't lay hold of
Gonna strike my drum
Make the sound of freedom
We will not shoot their guns
Nor curse the burning sun
I'll give love to my daughters
Like rocks cut by waters
Strong love for the daughters
Like rocks cut by waters
I'm a people connector
I'm a water protector
I'm not a conquering lion
But I'm a champion of Zion
I'm just a fellow human being
Living in the land of the Hawaiian
Ain't no other side, no
We on the same side
Ain't no other side, brother
We are one tribe
Ain't no other side, no
We on the same side
Ain't no other side, sister
We are one tribe
All of us...
We gonna wake these words up
We gonna fill them with fierce love
Our choice is something
We cannot let go of
We won't build those walls
We will build bridges
We will be the children's savers
Stand up, peace cravers
Come, soul rebels
And sing with angels
You gotta wake your words up
All of us...
(Fill em with fierce love)
Ain't no other side, no

Crow
04:42
|
|||
You are a dove
Flying like a crow
You know, you know
But you won't let it go
So now you've got yourself a hurricane
Runnin' through your brain
Drivin' you crazy
Makin' you insane
You're like a red-eyed wild stallion
Hell-bent to win
War with no winners
A battle with no end
And on the banks of forgiveness
You clutch to your burden
Her waters are begging
But you won't throw it in
You are a dove
Flying like a crow
You know, you know
But you won't let it go
Eyah...
Forgiveness is for the forgiver
More than the one being forgiven
Do you know, know, know
Oh do you know?
Forgiveness is for the forgiver
More than the one being forgiven
Do you know, know, know
Lordy, do you know?
Forgiveness is for the forgiver
More than the one being forgiven
Do you know, know, know
Lordy, do you know?
You are a dove
Flying like a crow
You know, you know
But you won't let it go
Up into a sky of hate
Further you go
Leaving a solution
Way down below
You are a dove
Flying like a crow
You know, you know
But you won't let it go
Now you're using your shield of hope
To dig a grave
You call it past your master
So today you are it's slave
See your pride's cry of victory
Has signaled your defeat
You've traded in your throne
For a broken seat
And on the banks of fogivness
Her waters beg you to throw it in
But your tears burn your wounds
And you just wont listen
You are a dove
Flying like a crow
You know, you know
But you won't let it go
Up into a sky of hate
Further you go
Leaving a solution
Way down below
You know, you know
But you won't let it go
You are a dove
Flying like a crow
You know, you know
But you won't let it go
You are a dove
Flying like a crow
(From the shadow, (in)to the light)...
Forgiveness is for the forgiver
More than the one being forgiven
Do you know, know, know
Oh do you know?
Forgiveness is for the forgiver
More than the one being forgiven
Do you know, know, know
Whoa, do you know?

River of Tears
03:14
|
|||
How do the serve and protectors
Become the killers and oppressors
How do the serve and protectors
Become the killers and oppressors
Shot down in the street
I heard the young man cry
His mother rushed to him
Promised that she wouldn’t lie
But his soul had already gone to fly
Whoa..
His mother begged the officer,
“Why would you kill him?”
His silence answered her
It was the color of his skin
Whoa…
I lay down by a river of tears
And I add mine
Wondering for how long
Shall they trade
Blood for wine
A young girl came
Running home when
She heard the house fall
Fall from the sky
Family and home
Were mud, brick and bone
And she had no reason why
She cried up to the planes,
“What was their crime?”
The engines roared back,
“Their religion this time”
How do the serve and protectors
Become the killers and oppressors
How do the serve and protectors
Become the killers and oppressors
I lay down by a river of tears
And I add mine
I’m wondering for how long
Shall they trade
Blood for wine
I lay down by a river of tears
And I add mine
I’m wondering for how long
Shall justice be
Silenced by crime
(How long shall justice be silenced by crime?)

When these dark clouds
Try to shut out the light
Its not time to run
We got to shine like the sun
Hey, brothers and sisters
Put down your differences
For divided we fall
United we
Arise
Arise, oh arise
Arise, arise
Arise, oh arise
Arise, arise
Arise, oh arise
Arise, arise
Blessed are the tyrants
Who show us what we're not
Blessed are these struggles
That make us love what we got
Stronger in the broken places
Deeper in the empty spaces
When the going gets tough
The tough
Arise
Arise, oh arise
Arise, arise
Arise, oh arise
Arise, arise
Arise, oh arise
Arise, arise
What seems and ending
Is a beginning
From the ashes
I watch you rise
What I see in your eyes
Is so, so, so

7. Like a huntress
Deep in the forest
There’s no moon tonight
We must feel the way
Feel the way
When the wind blows loudly
In your own ear
The wind on the mountain
Can be hard to hear
Far from illusion
The guides are beckoned
A distant calling
Will you follow the drum?
Are you listening?
Are you listening?
Are you listening?
To the wind under the owl’s wing
Are you listening?
Are you listening?
Are you listening?
To the wind under the owl’s wing
Are you listening?
To the wind under the owl’s wing
Are you listening?
To the wind under the owl’s wing
Only you can give your power away
Hinimaweh
Only you can give your power away
Hinimaweh
Only you can give your power away
Hinimaweh
Only you can give your power away
Hinimaweh
Only you can give your power away
Hinimaweh
Only you can give your power away
Hinimaweh
Beneath the smoke
There hides a fragrance
What is not clear
Shall soon be shown
Between the waves
And deep silence
I follow the callings
Feel the way
(My feelings my guidance)
A word can lie
But not its sound
Proclamations of wisdom
Revealed in the rhythm
Behold the wisdom
Revealed in the rhythm
Are you listening?
Are you listening?
Are you listening?
To the wind under the owl’s wing
Are you listening?
To the wind under the owl’s wing
Can you hear the rhythm?
To the wind under the owl’s wing
Only you can give your power away
Hinimaweh
Only you can give your power away
Hinimaweh
Only you can give your power away
Hinimaweh
Only you can give your power away
Hinimaweh
Only you can give your power away
Hinimaweh
Only you can give your power away
Hinimaweh

Yauna
04:22
|

A gift awaits you
If you wanna receive it
Open up your hands
Get out of your way
It’s trying to get to you
Will you let it through?
A blessing is cursed
When its misperceived
Like gifts at the door
You’ve accused as thieves
You’ve built your cage
And sealed it with doubt
Belief locks you in
No knowing gets you out
How long will you plead
With the gate keepers
For a gift, for a gift
That is already yours
Turn from their closed doors
And open your own
Lift up your gaze now
The way shall be shown
Open, open, open
Don’t you understand?
Yeah, oh Yauna…
Yakina, Yakina oh, Yakina…
Take off the armor
No need to fight
Just open your hands
Get down in the river
Look up stream
Something is coming
Belief that one’s blinded
By knowing is lifted
Once a distant dream
Is now to be tasted
Clutching and grasping
As torn the royal gown
When true majesty
Does not need a crown
Struggle to gain
There go the hard fisted
When an open
Its already gifted
Yeah, oh Yauna…
(Let the gift(s) come to you…allow the things to come to you…let it all in…no need to fight…no need to struggle…oh)

Fire in the Water
03:37
|

Yeah…
Fire, fire
Down in the water, water
We sat and we watched her, watched her
Fire, fire
Down in the water, water
We sit and we watch her, watch her
Chikomborero
Chikomborero
Tarisa
Coming down from the mountain top
Until the ocean, she don’t stop
And now I see the roots of all emotion
Dancing there down in the ocean
In a vision
They gave me a fire
Told me to take it ‘cross the ocean
The only way
The fire could live
Was down, down inside of me
With the light inside
I swam to a land
Where people lived and darkness and confusion
I shared the light with the people I did meet
And then they shared the same light too
Each person I touched
In turn passed on the light
And soon the dark land became bright
Oh, ah, eh
Tarisa
Fire, fire
Down in the water, water
We sit and we watch her, watch her
(These blessings do abound, blessings all around, tarisa)
Love like the fire in the water
The flame that don't go out
(It won’t go out)
I want to love like the fire in the water
It’s the kind of light that don’t go out
It’s the kind of light that won’t go out
It’s the kind of flame that don’t go out
It’s the kind of love that don’t go out
It’s the kind of light that don’t go out
It’s the kind of love that won’t go out
It’s the kind of flame that don’t go out
It’s the kind of love that don’t go out
(Thank you, water)

Possibilities
04:31
|

Some say
If it can’t be proven
Then it ain’t so
But there’s so much
That we can’t seee
What we don’t know
We don’t know
Science, authority both think
That they know all
But science is a theory
And pride goes before the fall
All we’ve got
Is what we see
From our side
Of reality
You only hear
Half the truth
When you hear one
Side of the story
If everything
That you see
Was once a thought
And then reality
Then imagination is holy
And the mind is like a deity
(Creative creators, go create x 5)
So much possibility
So much possibility
In this here infinity
So much possibility
The power of belief and faith
Is not that they’re
Based on what is true
Belief and faith
True or false
Show it’s the mind
That rules you
It’s not that you believe
But that belief
True or false
Can control you
If everything
That you see
Was once a thought
And then reality
Then imagination is holy
And the mind is like a deity
(Creative creators, go create x 6)
So much possibility
Creative creators, go create
So much possibility
Creative creators, go create
In this here infinity
Creative creators, go create
In this here infinity
Creative creators, go create
So much possibility
