You can only live somewhere.
You can only take so much when you go.
You can only be yourself.
You can only reap the seeds that you sew.
You can only see so far down the road.
You can only find the path to your heart.
You can only shine big love if you real.
You can only go so fast or you gone.
Whatcha gonna do with that one boy?
Whatcha gonna do with that one?
Whatcha gonna do with that one boy?
Whatcha gonna do with that one?
Whatch gonna do? Whatcha gonna do?
Whatcha gonna do? Whatcha gonna do?
You think you in big trouble boy.
Now you know, now you know.
You think you in big trouble boy.
Now you know, now you know.
You can only come alive.
You can only do your best day by day.
You can only work so hard.
You can only sing to Jah on the way.
You can only change the world man by man.
You can only stop the war with good will.
You can only lay your dreams at her feet.
You can only leave behind better place.
Whatcha gonna do with that one boy?
Whatcha gonna do with that one?
Whatcha gonna do with that one boy?
Whatcha gonna do with that one?

In Love's Reflection
04:11
|

|
know that singing is my salvation
‘Cause when I sing I never feel alone
I hold a secret conversation
With every single soul I have ever known
I’m never really alone When I paint upon the canvass
I’m never really alone
When I sculpt upon the stone
I’m never really alone
When I’m born into a lifetime once again
Never really alone
When I finally make it home
I’m never really alone
I’m never really alone
I’m never really alone
And when I look deeply into your eyes
Who is it that I truly see?
And when I look truly into your eyes
I deeply see both you and me
Sounds like a strange thing to say
But we really are each other In a primary way
In love’s reflection
It is all in love’s reflection
In love’s reflection
it is all in love’s reflection
We know that breathing is meditation
And when we breathe we never breath alone
We make a wonderful vibration
Ringing with the cosmic overtone
We’re never really alone
When we climb upon the mountain
We’re never really alone
When we sail upon the sea
We’re never really alone
When we wander into the valley far below
Never really alone
When we finally make it home
We’re never really alone
We’re never really alone
Never really alone
In love’s reflection
It is all in love’s reflection
In love’s reflection
It is all in love’s reflection

American War

When you hear this song I hope you hang out for a little while.
When you hear this tune try to turn your frown to a smile.
When you wake up in the morning with a love sublime and your life feels so happy and free
Now that winter's gone, spring is coming on to summertime..
Well as your were dreaming politicians were scheming to wage an American war.
Yes as you were sleeping the cartel was seeking to sell an American war.
It's time to wake up and finally break up the business of war.
Listen to reason. Fight the treason of making war.
American war, American war, why must there be yet another American war?
In the nineteen sixties our government made war on Vietnam.
But Presidents failed.
Peace prevailed over the bomb.
Since September eleventh, two thousand and one it started all over again.
Remember the darkest night is always followed by the bright colors of dawn.
I knew a brother who died in another American government war.
Now I know a sister, I know a mother whose kids can't come home anymore.
It's time to wake up and finally break up the business of war.
Listen to reason.
Fight the treason of making war.
American war, American war,
I want a world where there won't be American war.
So when you hear this song please listen with your heart.
Don't let these evil times tear you family apart.
Take your mighty voices out into the street and let your spirit soar.
'Cause it's time to defeat the wicked gods of war.
American war, American war, why must there be yet another American war?
American war, American war I want a world where there won't be American war!

Sagebrush Congregation

See the bands of snow geese flying south now
Hear the rustle of the red and yellow leaves
Summer is almost gone
Winter is coming on
It's time to be bringing in the sheaves
Silver moonlight kisses the arroyo
And the coyotes are howling like a choir
Stars are shining bright
That north wind is cold tonight
It's time to go gathering round the fire
We are the voice of the sagebrush congregation
The long forgotten natives of the west
More innocent tribesmen and wild country rascals out here
Looking for peace and the rest
We're the ancients of tomorrow
We're the future of today
Mere young bloods from Tombstone
Please don't waste our way of life away
First rain on the dry road what a fragrance
It reminds me sure of when I was a boy
Playing in the trees scuffing up my knees
It's time to prepare the feast of joy
See the bands of snow geese flying south now
Hear the rustle of the red and yellow leaves
Summer is almost gone
Winter is coming on
It's time to be bringing in the sheaves
We are the voice of the sagebrush congregation
The long forgotten nation of the west
More innocent tribesmen and wild country rascals out here
Looking for peace and the rest
We're the ancients of tomorrow
We're the future of today
Mere young bloods from Tombstone
Please don't waste our way of life

Rock Me 'til I'm Real
03:29

There's a homeless woman that I know
She know how to make your spirit glow
She'll tell you 'bout the impulse in all of your ways
How long it take to travel on them vibration waves
Lucille, she rock me 'til I'm real, whoa
Lucille, she teach me how to feel Lucille she take the time to heal
My Lucille
Speak to me 'bout serenity and how it's kind of like a great big redwood tree
Standing in the sky through eternity in silent tranquil harmony
Lucille, she rock me 'til I'm real, whoa
Lucille, she teach me how to feel Lucille she take the time to heal
My Lucille
Can you perceive oh people now where we are going
When it's dog it dog eat dog downtown in The Tenderloin
Can you see people now or must you be shown
That it's dog eat dog downtown in the Combat Zone
I'll tell you 'bout Lucille, she rock me 'til I'm real, whoa
Lucille she teach me how to feel Lucille she take the time to heal
My Lucille
Won't you feel me

Hallelujah Amen
04:08

Just like a thread woven into my dreams
You weave such a beautiful fabric of space
I'm wrapped in the grace of your loveliness
When I'm with you I travel so far
I go to a mystical garden of play
We dance trough the day filled with ecstasy
In the cool of the night
In the warm morning light
On the strand, on the strand
Oh a love like this is a beautiful thing baby
Hallelujah amen!
Oh baby a love like this makes my whole body sing
Hallelujah amen!
Out on the beach with the wind in your hair
You shape a magnificent ballet of chance
A timeless romance with eternity
Moving together and moving apart
Learning about love and the ways of the heart
We stand at the start of a miracle
In the cool of the night In the warm morning light
On the strand, on the strand
Oh a love like this is a beautiful thing baby
Hallelujah amen !
Oh baby a love like this makes my whole body sing
Hallelujah amen!

To th Other Shore
04:35
|

|
River running from the rock
Sculptor of the uncarved block
Ripple of receding change
Supple evanescent strange
Herald of the voice unheard
Sound of the unspoken word
Flowing limpid from the stone
Harvesting the seed unsown.
Hello my newfound timeless friend
For whom the earth and heavens bend
Beyond the sense of joy and sorrow
This and that and today and tomorrow.
To the other shore sail your boats
Experience the space between the notes
In every nothing something say
And without looking find the way.
Hello my newfound timeless friend
Wandering in stillness once again
To the other shore sail your boats
Experience the space between the notes
In every nothing something say
And without looking find the way.

Linda of the Lights darling, Linda of the Lights
Sharer of my nights honey, Linda of the Lights
Soul lover listening heart, clothe me in your rainbow.
No other can tear us apart.
Hold me in your sun glow.
Lift me on soft wings to far celestial heights.
For I am the desperate message tossed, no longer drifting in the bottle.
And I am the reckless driver lost, no longer nailed to the throttle.
You saved me Linda of the Lights.
Never betrayed me Linda of the Lights.
Always forgave me Linda of the Lights.
I had a dream on the last day of winter that I would be waking up dead.
So in the morning they hauled me to rehab and started to look in my head.
There I met an angel who guided me safely through feelings of torment and dread.
Now every spring she commands me to sing as she smiles from the foot of our bed.
Linda of the Lights with the star upon your face
Linda of the Lights illuminating grace.
How very well you read me from the feeling book of space.
I am rescued by your smile reborn in your embrace.
And I know that without your love I'd be lost without a trace.
For you are the song that sings in my heart longer and longer
And you are the star that shines on my life stronger and stronger.
You saved me Linda of the Lights.
Never betrayed me Linda of the Lights.
Always forgave me Linda of the Lights.
Because you’re true-blue Linda of the Lights.
I'll always be with you.
And I love you Linda of the Lights!

West Coast Highway

As I recall it was in the month of May.
I hauled my load on the West Coast Highway Aotearoa.
The snow fell and covered everything all around.
I was glad, glad, I had gone. I was glad, glad, I had gone.
Was early August when I first come to your town.
As usual to find a place to settle down.
It should be August by the time I’m gone again
From this forest that dares grow here without flowers
From this forest that dares grow here without flowers.
Just today in a place five miles from town
A place where factory shadows cover all the ground.
I found a stream and I stooped down to wash my face
But the water there it run green and blue and yellow.
Yes the water there it run green and blue and yellow.
And as I sat there a while a small boy came down to play carrying boats and balls and toys.
He played so merrily that I could not find the strength I would need to forbid.
So I called out to him as I now call out to you
Have you ever seen a stream where you can count the hairs on your big toe four or five feet down?
And to drink it well you’d think it was cherry wine.
Yes to drink it well you’d swear it was sweet cherry wine!
As I recall it was in the month of May I hauled my load on the West Coast Highway Aotearoa.
The snow fell and covered everything all around
I was glad, glad, I had gone. I was glad, glad, I had gone

Wayfarin' Stranger

Wayfarin' stranger in The Way, flowing in the Tao
Wayfarin' stranger, flying here and there
No nowhere, nowhere to be found
I took tarot to Sumatra, played sarod in Oaxaca
Sailed the sea to Pondicherry ended up quite simply
Like Bougainvillea in Bangalore many colored Bougainvillea in Bangalore
Or Bhendi Bazaar in Bombay Namaste!
Bhendi Bazaar in Bombay phir melenge!
It ain't so far if your floating in the way way way way away-farin' stranger
Flying here and there no nowhere, nowhere to be found
En los jardines celestiales
La architectura del sonido es impaplbable para siempre
La musica en mi ciudad es apacible y tranquila
La architectura del sonido es impalpable para siempre
In the garden above the clouds find the flowing fleece
In the garden above the clouds find the flowing fleece
In the garden of the heart feel eternal peace
In the garden of the heart feel eternal peace
Be like flutes in the mountains singing over valleys in the night and day
Water flows from the fountains bringing life to everything along the way
Along the way
Wayfarin' stranger
Wayfarin' stranger
Wayfarin' stranger
Stranger
When are we going?
