Heart Song 04:02
There's this fellow that comes around here. He pesters me 'bout spending my time with sound. He says "no one's ears are listening anymore. They can't hear you 'bove the cries of their kind." Now this guy I've known for years. He's often company when I'm lonely. But I'm tired of wasting time. This lover she tells me "You're free to do as you please, but you've bought into the illusion of suffering. There's one thing you must do, and you have to follow through. Follow your heart till you die." Till you die. Now this doubting Thom I know he is a thief. While my back is turned he's pilfering memories that I seek. Robbing me of heart and soul. Can you tell me oh can you tell me, tell me how does one avoid? All the distractions that are part of their ploy. The enchanted slumber of demise. All of the strength you need is in you. Don't confuse your path with what they tell you "You should do." The one action to make and there isn't a debate. Following your heart is fate. When I recall why I started in the first place. Creation wasn't a means to amplify my name. Song brought me home from the haunted fantasies of this world. Thom doesn't come 'round anymore. Whether you hear this or not it's for me to enjoy. Planting seeds makes my heart grow. Go and be a light in the world. And don't be discouraged by bitterness Expressing spirit mends the mind. We'll tame this beast in time.

Only Time 03:43
I would guess you know that I've wondered 'bout the other side. What if we both agreed to cultivate our lives. How would it be to be yours? Could it feel as free as we do now? Sharing our own worlds, together to smile. Don't get me wrong I'll be there for you when Times get rough, baby I'll know. Tell me what is on your heart, I will hear you out. Time will show you who I am. I'm sure you've noticed that I'm falling further. Opening up my heart and the blessings flow. Do you think you'll understand when I question what it is I am? Will it be worth it when I need to be alone? Despite while I'm gone I'll still be with you. I will strive to stay present. Tell me what it is you dream, I would help you achieve it. Time will show you what I am. All of these concerns I bare before you are merely to address your heart. For all of the highs that you have seen, there will be valleys. Will you go there with me? Either way I will support you Finding your way in this world. Tell me what it is you need, I promise to do the same. Time will reveal what we are. Time will tell where we belong. Only time can show us what we are. Only time.

One Day Soon 03:16
I hear it's dark in the winter but can you stretch your patience for the sun to last? Your nose upon the canvas it's difficult to see the beauty in the shades of grey each day. One day soon the moon will rise for you and grant your heart what it has longed to pass if asked. Live what you choose to be the best for you It's hard to know when it'll be your last chance. I see it's hard to keep to struggle Breaching the soil is never for the timid of week. Labors for the sun often go unnoticed but we must carry through. One day soon the moon will ask you are there obstacles that I can move? Keep the pursuit refining your truth Rewards are only sweet if there was something to loos. Stay grounded in your attitude. Don't let opportunities startle you. Find your peace in solitude. Don't allow your doubts to rob you. Each passing moon is a blessing to use Find her light to guide you. She is there to walk you through. One day soon.

I've been given a heart of gold. The moon gave me a heart of gold. The moon gave me this heart of gold. For once in my life I think I've seen the eyes, that lead me to believe That we can do anything that we dream. No one said it'd be easy, but it'd surely please me to share A road with you. Space to be truly interwound. And compounded in trust. Time will augment us. I look forward to being your company, constantly. Blessed by your consent. Nurturing the gifts given by those that preserve love. A second set of roots. Your hands help pull loose. Sunstones in the dirt. Treasures of this Earth. You and I combined will see things that we could not achieve alone. Partnerships pays their worth in rebirth. Who would pass this chance to lift us into the next verse of search. How can we hallow nature? Giving grace to our neighbors. Enriching our world. This boy and girl tuning into harmony. Living. Listening. By merging our beings sprits are crafting a new journey. We'll follow this road planting as we go, sharing the bounties of discovery. As we intertwine our lives our hearts synchronize. This life we desire can be realized. The moon has given the shape shifter the beauty of this Devine bird. Oh I want to be so good for you. Let me nurture and provide for you. Dancing life's mandalas has riddled me with keys and strings. Yet your healing hands find beauty some way. Oh I am so grateful for you. Let me be the earth you rest into. I've been given a heart of gold. I've been given a heart of gold. The moon gave me this heart of gold.

I come to early morning in my lover’s bed Her smile was hard to leave, but it was time to head out, to the desert. To see what could be found With plenty to gleam I was thirsty to look around. Driving to the middle of nowhere to meet family. The brothers of sound and the sisters were waiting. This was a time we’d all been anticipating. The towers of red stones stood as the gates men welcoming. It wouldn’t be long till we start celebrating. The uniqueness of our kind. Expansion of the mind. Gathering together to share the wealth that we find. On that parched lake bed we were refined. I hear people say that blooming where planted is the way, But roaming the earth shows me new ways to behave. Friendly faces from new places breaks the norm. Each of them have their own arts to perform. Learning new words and different points of perspective. The arts and healing held our attention. Sharing the space and focusing on connection Encourages a deeper sense of reflection. The sun smiles down on the people learning. A tribe focused on realizing beauty. Striving to describe the happenings in our lives. Community enables us to truly thrive. I slipped into a dream with snakes eyes grinning from the sky. With no light from the city the stars come alive. Jupiter and moons were in plain sight While the beat of the people danced throughout the night. Springs of compassion were liberating me From doubts and judgement and responsibility. I centered on kindness and expressing clearly. The smell of sage in the air as strong as stranger’s generosity. The uniqueness of our kind. Expansion of the mind. Gathering together to share the wealth that we find. On that parched lake bed we were refined. Taking the lessons home. Applying them where I go. Sharing experience on the road. Be warm to one another and share what you. Be warm to one another and share the growth.
