Strange Girl
She’s no mantle figurine
With a halo and a harp
She’s for real so it’s a real good thing
She shoots with rubber darts
She’s trying to free the tangled kite
From the branches in her brain
If she could she would
Purify the acid rain
She’s evolving
And problem solving
Her spirit revolving
Like a wind whirl
She’s such a strange girl
In such good ways
A strange girl
She's so strange
In such good ways
She doesn’t care about sparkling jewels
Got a twinkle in her eye
She keeps taking me to school
Where the rules change all the time
She’s disinclined to blindly trust
Medieval papal scribes
Dangerously curious, adventurous
The queen of her own tribe
She’s evolving
And problem solving
Her spirit revolving
Like a wind whirl
She’s such a strange girl…

I'm Learning To Fly

I’m Learning to Fly
I’m gonna separate
The green glass from the clear
And try to be more responsible
So glad to be here
Forty thousand Indonesians
Fathers, mothers, children died
When Krakatoa blew sky high
I’m living to love in a dying world
I’m learning to fly
I’m living to love in a dying world
I’m learning to fly
Time will evaporate
The tears of yesteryear
As they tumble to the sea
And rise to the stratosphere
Make that phone call, write that letter
Live today to make amends
Yes, I know I’ve hurt you, dear friend
I’m living to love in a dying world
I’m learning to fly…
Everybody suffers
Is it enough to cry
When ashes fall on the innocent?
Spirit of God, love within
Free my soul to ride the wind
Spirit of God, light within
Free my soul to ride the wind
(But how is mercy reconciled
With the pain of a wounded child?)
I’m living to love in a dying world
I’m learning to fly…

Cross That River

Cross that River
The water is rising
The current is hypnotizing
You’re not the only one
We all feel trepidation
Cross that river
One rock at a time
You can cross that river
You can cross that river
Never mind the rapid tide
You can cross that river
The time has come for sure
This is your great adventure
The eagle is soaring high
Fix your mind on the other side
Cross that river
One rock at a time
You can cross that river
You can cross that river
Never mind the rapid tide
You can cross that river
But you’re not gonna make it if you don’t take a chance
And there’s somebody on the shore holding out a branch
You’ve gotta believe it
When the light comes down receive it
Take my hand, pray for help
And be true to your own self
Cross that river
One rock at a time
You can cross that river
You can cross that river
Never mind the rapid tide
You can cross that river
But you’re never gonna make it if you don’t take a chance
And there’s somebody on the shore holding out a branch
When you make that leap of faith beware
Of the slippery moss
You’ll be amazed before you’re halfway there
Come on, move steady across
Cross that river
One rock at a time
You can cross that river
You can cross that river
Never mind the rapid tide
You can cross that river
But you’re not gonna make it if you don’t take a chance
And there’s somebody on the shore holding out a branch
When you make that leap of faith beware
Of the slippery moss
You’ll be amazed before you’re halfway there
Come on, move steady across
You’ve already been baptized by fire
You’ve been born again
Take to the water, take to the sky
Like a flying amphibian
Cross that river…

Laughter Of Heaven

Laughter of Heaven
Embrace the mystery
Unlearn, unknow
Pray for serenity
You’re not in control
Go higher go deeper
Surrender, let go
The laughter of heaven
Echoes in your soul
The crow, the fox, the flower
God knows each one
How dare the wolf devour
Beloved sons
Walk in humility
We all fall down
Love is divinity
Right here, right now
Go higher go deeper
Surrender, let go
The laughter of heaven
Echoes in your soul…
Body, heart and mind
Transformation in a new world of time
Inspiration, water, fire and wind
Revelation from without and within
Revelation, inspiration, transformation
Go higher go deeper
Surrender, let go…

O How

O How
Lungs gasping for air
I have heard before
On the day
You were born
As young as you are
So much hurt you’ve known
Invisible scars
On your soul
O how, O how, O how
O how, O how, O how
The heart aches that loves a child
The heart breaks that loves a child
Those times you feel sad
Like a lonely cloud
Breathe deep and be glad
You are so loved now
O how, O how, O how
O how, O how, O how
The heart aches that loves a child
The heart breaks that loves a child…

The Forest

The Forest
More is hidden than revealed
Sometimes the path to understanding is concealed
It hurts to be alive, your pain is real
Go on laugh until you cry, it’s good to feel
The sun will shine,
The sun will shine on you
The sun will shine
The sun will shine on you
I believe the sun will shine on you and me, my friend
I have learned to trust the turning of the seasons
Even now the sun is breaking though the clouds again
But I still don’t know the causes or the reasons
Take it one step at a time
We cannot see beyond the woods but that’s all right
I hear voices in shadows of the night
Keep on following the river to the light
The sun will shine
The sun will shine on you
The sun will shine
The sun will shine on you
I believe the sun will shine on you and me, my friend
I have learned to trust the turning of the seasons
Even now the sun is breaking though the clouds again
But I still don’t know the causes or the reasons
And I still can’t see the forest for the trees
Don’t be afraid, don’t hide in the dark
Climb the mountain, hear the meadowlark
Wait for the sun
I believe the sun will shine on you and me, my friend…

Takin' The Universe In

Takin’ the Universe In
I wanna hear the ocean with your ears
Taste the salt of my own tears on your face
I wanna dream the dreams in your head
When we wake up and we’re not dead
It’s a good day
Ah, it’s a fine day
I’m takin’ the universe in, I’m takin’ it all in
Discoverin’ a parallel world of experiences
I’m takin’ the universe in through your senses
I wanna feel the raindrops on your skin
Smell the lavender drifting into your nose
I wanna run with your feet across the lawn
Turn your sprinkler on
Baby, come closer
I wanna get closer
I’m takin’ the universe in, I’m takin’ it all in
Discoverin’ a parallel world of experiences
I’m takin’ the universe in through your senses
I want to ride the train that keeps rumbling your floor
I want to feel the draft that seeps under your door
I want to be there for your hereafter and your here before
To kiss the honey on your tongue
See the glorious morning sun through your eyes
I wanna share the hope in your heart
Dance with the skeletons in the dark of your mind
Baby, I love your mind
I’m takin’ the universe in…

Melodious
You are so melodious
That’s what I called to tell you
We are so harmonious
Playin’ together well
You are so melodious
That’s a good thing about you
We are so harmonious
Makin’ some music now
Sometimes you bend the strings
Out of tune but I
Like that tension
Reflecting reality
You are so miraculous
Hummingbird wings for fingers
We are so illustrious
How come we never win?
You are so industrious
Never too old for college
We are so ridiculous
Rowing above the falls
Wild nights I was a fool
Lucky how you loved
Me too much to
Throw me into the pool
Dark days, regretful words
Threaten joy but the beat
Of a true friend’s heart is
The loudest sound ever heard
You are so melodious
A beautiful song inside you
We are so harmonious
We’re gonna be all right

A World Away

A World Away
All bright things have shadow sides
Gilded kingdoms are illusion
To be forgiven is to know divine love
Proud religion is delusion
I’m a world away from enlightened
More than a stone’s throw from the truth
I’m a sad, far cry from a man who never lies
But I’ll hold the lantern high for you
I’ll hold the lantern high for you
I have stumbled down dark streets
Too drunk to know the danger
Too blind to tell a demon from an angel
Or a lover from a stranger
I’m a world away from enlightened
More than a stone’s throw from the truth
I’m a sad, far cry from a man who never lies
But I’ll hold the lantern high for you
I’ll hold the lantern high for you
Scratching at the ocean floor
No hope to fix your eyes on
Then suddenly you’re breathing under water
Behold the luminous horizon
I’m a world away…

After All
Are we mere specks of dust
Floating through the Milky Way?
Are we here to learn to love?
I think that’s true either way
Come winter, come spring
Come summer, come fall
Come winter, come spring
Come summer, come fall
You’re floating with me after all
I’m floating with you after all
We’re on a cosmic ride
Let’s hope to greet the dawn
For sure this glorious night
Will be long gone forever soon
The owl is on the spy
The cat is on the prowl
I say we step outside
and howl at the moon
We’re on a cosmic ride
So good to be together
Have a joyous flight
Should by death our spirits part
The lynx is keen of sight
The bat is on the wing
I say we step outside
And sing to the stars
Are we mere specks of dust
Floating through the Milky Way?
Are we here to learn to love?
I think that’s true anyway
Come winter, come spring
Come summer, come fall
Come winter, come spring
Come summer, come fall
I’m floating with you after all
You’re floating with me after all
