Milky Way Dreams
There’s a place I go to find my way
Spent some time there just the other day
All relations to the past are gone
All tomorrows falling from the throne I put them on
No investments…no more scheming mind
Left my troubles rotting on the vine
Open road just begging for a ride.
Looking back now one last time
Passing through like yesterday’s wine
Wondering if I’ve ever seen the light of day
Blinded by the Bright Lights on the way……Yeah yeh
Now I got the wind at my back
Got the sunshine in my face
Seeing better now where I‘m going
Look to me like a better place
Saw a star through the smoke and screens
Out there in the Milky Way Dreams
In a flash another answer came
This is it…nothing left to explain
(Chorus)
I can promise those days are over
Once a fool …now a knower
And a whole lot of life left to lead
Holdin on to what was always
History’s just a passing phase
No more walls left for us to peel
It’s all been a dream but You and I are Real…that’s Real
(B-section)
Another broken promise passing by
Didn’t care how hard you tried
Take a hold of shifting sand
Disappears right through your hand
Satisfied and unsatisfied
On the wheel it’s all the same
Going to make you cry
Time to say good-by
Up and Down and Away.
Borderline …we just crossed over
High on a moon-lite beam
Feel your arms around my shoulders
Safe inside the Golden Stream
Letting go an even keel
Punch a hole through the 7 seals
Nothing wrong with being extreme
Don’t you want to hear yourself scream?
(Chorus)
I can promise those days are over
Once a fool but now a Knower
And a whole lot of life left to lead
Holdin on to what was Always
History’s just a passing phase
No more walls left for us to peel
It’s all been a dream but you and I are Real…that’s Real

Delta Jiggle Jungle Empowerment
Tonight you’ll know
Just how easy it can be
No more sides to disagree
No more ups and no more downs
No more waiting to be found
Wonderin when your time will come
No more places left for you to run to
2)
Lay your mind at ease
Come and go as you please
Listen for the in-between
Say good-bye the old regime
Wait awhile till it feels right
Inching closer day and night
Make your leap…and fall into the stream
Sink or swim now don’t you worry
There’s no slow and there’s no hurry
There’s no up and there’s no down
There’s no inside and there’s no outside
There’s no here and there’s no there
There’s no time to get prepared
What’s come before you can disavow
What you will to do…better be right now
(Pre-chorus)
All right now
Ain’t no way to pull out
Flesh and Blood
All entire
I’m on Fire
(Chorus)
All rise up
Carnalize up
Hit the ground like big freight train
This is break in
With a tail spin
Open wide for my spray
(All night and day)
(B-sec meditation)
Time got ya in a strangle-hold
Fellin like you bought and sold
Some people just along for the ride
Some people don’t even try
Did you wish it would just all go away
Now you can show the world a better face
Here’s a message from above
Feel the piston of our love
(Chorus)
All rise up
Carnalize up
Shake this ground like big freight train
This is break in
With a tail spin
Open wide for my spray
Om Aim Hring Kling
Om Aim Hring Kling
Chawman daye viche nama
Om Aim Hring Kling
Om Aim Hring Kling
Chawman daye viche nama
(Ending meditation)
If I had then thousand tongues
And then thousand years
I could never say how good it is
But it’s so damned fun to try I I I

Vanish In The Love

Vanish In The Love
Take a stand right where I am
I’ve been trying way to hard
Every time I long for You
You walk away in disregard
I ain’t cryin no more nights
I ain’t dying no more days
Done crawlin on my knees
Hide e Ho I’m on my Way
I be rolling down that highway strong
Turn around you’ll see I’ve gone
A brand new song
B) Story closes, cease to be
All the outcomes just a tease
Pickin up what I laid down
Lo and behold Myself I found!!!
2)
Close my eyes and I can see
Everything I used to be
Turn my gaze inside to look
The real deal’s got no hooks
Cried tears that never end
Called out for help to send
From the echo I un-hooked
All this time it was Me mistook
I be rolling down that Highway strong
Turn around you’ll see I’ve gone
A brand new song.
B)
Found my way through the Night
I am dancing in the naked Light
Final act of chasing more
My boat has landed on the shore
Everything got in the way
Now we going to blow away
(Exorcism)
I’m talking to all you demons now:::
Lust you just can’t get a hold of
Anger that brings nothing but sorrow to yourself and everyone around You…
Greed that hollows out a human into nothing
False un-earned pride …that turns you into a pillar of salt…trying to Cover all your lies…
And attachment so strong that it makes one think that “stuff’ is more important than People…
Now I want you to head straight on into the Lovin arms of the Creator
Where you will be die, dissolve, and be re-born as something a little less Stupid.
And meantime, for the rest of us
We will mount burning…like a cone of fire
Across our own soul’s unmapped immensities
Where we will meet
Face to face
The incomprehensible…
(Chorus)
Hee Yeh Yeh Ha Eloheim Elat O Shilo
Hee Yeh Yeh Ha Eloheim Elat O Shilo
Alaha Allah Eloheim Elat O Shilo
May all your sorrows vanish in the Love
3)
No more cavin in to shame
No more fear of burnin flames
Take on back what they took
The real deal’s got no hooks
Oh my sweet human parts
Come to earth to play my part
Here’s our ticket out of Hell
Stand up tall we never fell….
I be rolling down that Highway strong
Turn around you’ll see I’ve gone
A brand new song
(Chorus)
Hee Yeh Yeh Ha Eloheim Elat O Shilo
Hee Yeh Yeh Ha Eloheim Elat O Shilo
Alaha Allah Eloheim Elat O Shilo
May all your sorrows vanish in the Love

Love Is Here To Stay
07:29
|

Love Is Here To Stay
If you were to go away
No one d find my Hideaway
Endless coil of Soulless dreams
Nothing ever as it seems
Babel Tower
Plastic flowers
Broken promises and sweet illusions
Trap the fly in its delusions… tight
It’s not right
No light
A bad night
No sight
2)
I’d pretend I was so strong
Show the world that nothings wrong
Who am I foolin…life would be gruelin
Endless are the needs of night
Iron shells
Private hells
Visions of a joyless mind
Drive this world into the dust of time
Such a crime
To give up trying
It’s feeding time
Here’s a dime
3)
Out here where I’ve never been
You make me say and you make me feel
Everything that I was afraid
Afraid to know was real
Like a feather in the wind
Gone to far to comprehend
Nameless rapture
Silent Sound
Something’s callin
I am fallin…where there is no ground
No up or down
No all around
No inside found
No outside bound
When the words all fall away
Are ya going to run or are you going to stay
Out here where the wild wind blows
Love is fierce…there are no holds
(Chorus)
Don’t play me
Come Sleigh me
Don’t leave us in Maybe
Heaven’s a moment away
Take hold me
We’re home free
Always better than it can be
This time love is here to stay
Hey Now…love is here to stay
4)
Can you swear you really tried
Or did you hold it all up inside
Sleepless nights and endless plans
Hold tomorrow in your trembling hands
You want to run away
You want to try and stay
In between you feel life slippin away
Doorway
Wrong way
Gonna pay
Better pray
5)
Now its time to take a stand
Bind the wound by your command
Walk the trail to matter’s verge
Dive into the pounding surge
Come now with me
Heaven agrees
Fall into the pool of Nam
Listen to the never ending Song
On and On
Foregone
So Strong
Sing along
When the words all fall away
Are ya going to run or are you going to stay
Out here where the wild wind blows
Love is fierce…there are no holds
(Chorus)
Don’t play me
Come Sleigh me
Don’t leave us in Maybe
Heaven’s a moment away
Take hold me
We’re home free
Always better than it can be
This time love is here to stay
Hey Now…love is here to stay

My Eyes Have Seen
07:21
|
|||
My Eyes Have Seen a Better Way
Rhythm cutting through the artificial fog
TV newspapers lying like a Dog
Press that noxious Hum into your Mind
Make you feel like what the hell’s the use in trying
What you see surely ain’t what you get
Stripped down truth keep you chompin at the bit
Reduced to a number in a buyers sellers hail
Pool ball on the table Just bumpin off the rails
2)
Hidden dictators they got it all figured
While hired reptiles spit out the facts and the figures
Implacable to the poor
To the rich they’re just whores
Bom Bombastic basturd laws
Firmly behind all the Ra Ra Ra
Designed to confuse when the chips are all down
Cuz it’s all smoke and mirrors in the Devil’s Playground.
3)
When did cruelty and torture become
The badge of courage…the rule of thumb
Guess the leadership done become a dealership
For the Demons of Greed
Cuz only the spineless feed on those who Bleed
I know your shakin inside
Cuz you try so hard to hide
You know only that house can stand that be built by the Lord
Not your lying…your scheming…and your visionless dreaming
Hear me Now
Your lying…your scheming…and your visionless dreaming
And its time for you to get out the way Now
Cuz we comin on board
(Chorus)
Gather up to the roof of this jail
Take a better look at what will prevail
Say good-by to those who make you a slave
How ya gonna dance with your feet in the grave
Walkin like the Man upon the waves
A Little mercy…you’ll be amazed
Cuz everyone will see the right from the wrong way
Little faith going to bring back the good days
My eyes have seen a better way
My eyes have seen a better Way… yeah yeah
4)
TV newspapers owned by the Blind man
Spread their lies all across this land
Divide and Conquer is the name of the game
They say you’re my enemy
I say you’re my brother
And the man of god is nothing but a fraud
When he tells you to kill for some principalitized corporation’s
cheap thrills
Yeah your castles in the air look real good up there on the marquee
But your mouth is shut when it comes to the admission fee
Well we not as dumb as you look
We can read it all just like a book
So you can make it ramble
Or you can make it scramble
But truth is like a compass needle pointing to the North
Just what is it you think you can hide
When we looking from the Source
But ya know…what goes around comes around
Is the only rule on this playground
And it only takes the Faith of a mustard seed
To bring it down
(Chorus)
Gather up to the roof of this jail
Take a better look at what will prevail
Say good-by to those who want to make you a slave
How ya gonna dance with your feet in the grave
Walkin like the Man upon the waves
A Little mercy…you’ll be amazed
Cuz everyone will see the right from the wrong way
Little faith going to bring back the good days
My eyes have seen a better way
My eyes have seen a better Way yeah yeah
(B-section Meditation)
Everywhere I go I here people say
Heaven is not that far away
Soul of man and woman is greater than their fate
We could bring to Earth those Pearly gates
And through that doorway I saw unfurl
Nothing less than a brand new world
All the aches now seem worthwhile
Through the Long and Lonely trial
No more dark pretense of hate
Soft the rictus on Love’s face
Swallowed in wisdom’s mesh
Gone the gain & gone the debt
Set out in this nascent land
Open heart and open hand
On your brow we place the crown
Hear and Now the Song is found.
(Chorus)
Gather up to the roof of this jail
Take a better look at what will prevail
Say good-by to those who want to make you a slave
How ya gonna dance with your feet in the grave
Walkin like the Man upon the waves
A Little mercy…you’ll be amazed
Cuz everyone will see the right from the wrong way
Little faith going to bring back the good day
My eyes have seen a better way
My eyes have seen a better Way yeah yeah
Right now Today

I Made It Home
03:30
|

I Made It Home
Well I’ve traveled the back roads most of my life
A whole lot of party almost no strife
If I had to do it over…might do it again
But what happens when you’ve done it all
And it’s still a dead in?
2)
Well I chased down those good times
Like on life it did depends
Runnin like an outlaw till I reached the end
It never made me happy though I tried and tried
But through Harley’s and Jesus…I found my ride
Well I’ve seen a lot a cross roads
Which way will I go?
Is it right or is wrong hell if I know
But one day he talked to me inside my head
“I’ll give you a new life”
That’s what he said
(Chorus)
Hey yeah yeh ho… Life is just a ride
Hey yeah yeh ho… you crash or you glide
Hey yeah yeh ho… all my life long
Through Harleys and Jesus…I’m staying strong
(Instrumental)
3)
Well I’m looking down the road now
I like what I see
Everything I need is comin to me
No more apprehension…just rollin along
All day and all night I’m singin my song
Still runnin like an outlaw
Still dancing like a fool
Sometimes I fall down
From drinkin too much fuel
Well it don’t seem to matter
I’m just hittin my stride
Through Harleys and Jesus
I found my ride
(Chorus)
Hey yeah yeh ho… Life is just a ride
Hey yeah yeh ho… you crash or you glide
Hey yeah yeh ho… It’s better than OM
Through Harleys and Jesus
I made it Home

Salvation
04:36
|

Salvation
Don’t want a Heaven after I’m gone
I need a place to keep my family warm
Don’t want a vision of saints all in white
I want the blind to see the sweet morning light
Don’t want a future where God sets things right
I need a neighborhood to walk safe at night
Don’t want a banquet in heaven above
Till no one is hungry in this world that I love
(Chorus)
Salvation’s not just a personal thing
Everyone’s got to hear that Word sing
Ain’t going to get there by push and shove
The Good Lord says it’s about Love…sweet Love
2)
Don’t want a path that rises above
Someone else that fell from love
Don’t want to jump and shout with joy
When another man’s country is being destroyed
Don’t want a doorway closed to some
Too many people left un-done
Don’t want a race where I have to out run
And leave my brother out from the fun…
(Chorus)
Salvations not just a personal thing
Everyone’s got to hear that word sing
Ain’t going to get there by push and shove
The Good Lord says it’s about Love…sweet Love
3)
Don’t want a kingdom don’t want a crown
Till all nations lay their angry weapons down
No Armageddon no thousand years
No more tomorrows…Only Now Only Here
(Chorus)
Salvations not just a personal thing
Everyone’s got to hear that word sing
Ain’t going to get there by push and shove
The Good Lord says it’s about Love…sweet Love

Out On The Road
06:34
|
|||
Out On The Road
Out on the road in the early morning
Exercising my free will choice
Which way will I turn my longing
Everyday is a brand new voice
Easy rise and a easy fallin
The road is rolling at a gentle pace
Sky above and the earth below me
Everything I need is in its place.
2)
Saw a man in a big Mercedes
Drivin by at a frantic pace
Looked like a puppet on the strings of time
Shadow of the world upon his face
Had a pretty girl sitting there beside him
Collagen lips and silicone tits
Hadn’t a clue where she was going
Driving next to someone who though he did
(Chorus)
Eieh Yeih Yeh
Well I thank the Lord this road is so wide
Eieh Yeih Yeh
Just a Country Boy out here for a ride
3)
Headin down to Natchez on a Sunday morning
Looking for a map and a bottle of beer
Motor was a hummin and the pipes were roaring
Sounds like music to my ears
Stopped into a store where he called me a sinner
Guess I was looking to laid back
38 special, bottle of whisky, Bible on the shelf behind his back
I bought me some longnecks
Wrote him a bad check
Walked out the door and gave him a wave
Never argue with a fool on a Sunday morning
Out on the road I’m already saved.
(B-Section Meditation)
Unknown the Shadows in my mind
Somehow they get left behind
All that has been renews
I Am before the choices I choose
I can see the Great Design
Hear the voices between the lines
Anthems from the Silent Sound
Unveils rapture all around
Fall away the hidden cords
Time’s temptation I ignore
All my thinking decodes
Feel myself back on the road
Smiling for no reasons Known
Like a child chasing his shadow
We’re headin straight on Now
We’re headin straight on Now
For the Mother-Lode
4) Out on the road no one can own me
Dancin to a music I can’t define
Clamor of the experts fall around me
Nothing in this world I call my guide
Never let another man tell you who you are
Freedom is something you find inside
Out on the road I got everything I need
Got my name, got my friends
And I’m always right
(Chorus)
Eieh Yeih Yeh
Well I thank the Lord this road is so wide
Eieh Yeih Yeh
Just a Country Boy out here for a ride
(Repeat verse 1)
Out on the road in the early morning
Exercising my free will choice
Which way will I turn my longing
Everyday is a brand new voice
Easy rise and a easy fallin
The road is rolling at a gentle pace
Sky above and the earth below me
Everything I need is in its place.

Message From Elvis
07:44
|

A Message from Elvis
There’s a pounding in my head as I sit here alone
A creature of habit… I wait by the phone
This message I’ve been waiting on is takin too long
I could slip into the great unknown
Somebody told me life’s an unexpected chance
It roles and it tumbles while we make our stand
But you can join any time be a part of the dance
Don’t wait till the end of the song
Heartaches and troubles been callin your name
But like the leaves in the autumn they all fall away
And someday that sunshine well it won’t go away
But sometime someday’s got to come
(Chorus)
Round round round we go
Joy and sorrow nobody knows
We all take our chances
But a fool even knows
Nothing can happen till you let your dice role
2)
Lost in self pity…I just couldn’t resist
When the phone rang inside my own head from out of the mist
I said,” whose this callin me”
I wasn’t ready for the twist
The voice said, “Better shut up boy and listen
This is Elvis”
(Elvis)
A hanged man can’t cut himself down
But by and by natures going to have its way
So what’s the need of all this sadness?
Everything’s going to be OK
Human urning can sometimes run amok
But what creature in time hasn’t once felt itself stuck
Toss and turn…cool and burn
But then a moment’s depth can spread out like a stone dropped in a calm pool
And a luminous nest of your own self-innocence you can find in a moment
If you wish
And torn from the clutches of chance and self oblivion
A swift and fiery flood of life will lift you up to the windless summit
Remember that pounding in your head
It’s because you weren’t a listening
But here everything is as soft as a mother’s heart beat
Wandering waves fill every tendril that has ever grasped the rope of doubt or fear
And dissolves what no longer need to be felt…seen…thought…or feared
Yea in Graceland everybody knows
The Kingdom is always Now…Always Here…
Heartaches and troubles been callin your name
But like the leaves in the autumn they all fall away
And someday that sunshine well it won’t go away
But sometime someday’s got to come
(Chorus)
Round round round we go
Joy and sorrow nobody knows
We all take our chances
But a fool even knows
Nothing can happen till you let your dice role
Round round round we go
Joy and sorrow nobody knows
We all take our chances
But I’ll tell you what I know
Nothing can happen till you let it all go

Kalachakra Tantra Mantra

Kalachakra Tantra Mantra
Om ah hum ho ham ka sham ma la VA re ya pay
Om prem vish VA mata hum hum pay
Each passing step I don’t regret
Take it all in stride
Don’t ask myself if I’m right or wrong
Hesitation override
Now some will say that’s a perilous way
We command you to live by the norm
But they be dreaming they is sinners…just cuz they was born
Now I lose no sleep ‘bout what I’ll reap
Freedom has no doubts
But it seems to me if you put junk in
That’s what you’ll get back out.
The whole damn game is just a shame
Surely don’t need to be
Get off your knees…Dance and Sing
That’s the admission fee…fait accompli
(Chorus)
Om ah hum ho ham ka sham ma la VA re ya pay
Om prem vish VA mata hum hum pay
(Meditation)
Now here’s a little twiddle on the dial
I think this one will make you smile
They hide the TRUTH behind sweet veneer
To many people sellin water by the river
Even my mama asked what will happen when I die
She was real sincere…tears in her eyes
Mama don’t ya worry I ain’t going below
You can be proud I’m walkin the road
I can see St. Peter standin at the gate
But ain’t no man the judge of my fate
I got a little closer and heard him say
Now what you think you’ve done to deserve your way in here
On this fine day
I stepped back and checked him out…then got up in his face
And said with no doubt
“Peter…after the last 10 years in America…you just get the hell out of my way”
(Chorus)
Om ah hum ho ham ka sham ma la VA re ya pay
Om prem vish VA mata hum hum pay
Return on home…a friendly face
Wide and endless calm
Roam in the wilderness of life
Compliance to your own pace
Sweet surprise no comprise
With the demon song
Reflex reason has no face
There is nothing to despise.
Wake up from somnific charm
Let the idols go
Breath the free and easy power
And do no one no harm
Let us embrace the human race
Churn it from above
Be a river to the people
Our mandate is to love.
(Chorus)
Om ah hum ho ham ka sham ma la VA re ya pay
Om prem vish VA mata hum hum pay

Down In Mississippi

Down In Mississippi
Sweet sixteen, cute as can be
Waitin for a Saturday night
She loves her mama and her daddy too
But thinks they hold the reigns too tight
There’s something about a Mississippi moon
Drive a poor boy insane
Got to take it all down to the high school hop
Flying on high octane
From across the floor their eyes did meet
Enuf to set the blood on fire
But the Sunday school preacher chaperones tonight
Waiting for the kids to conspire
Up on the stage a brand new band
No one ever seen before
Some real cool cats, and some old field hands
They looked like a last resort
Well the music start playin
The girls start swaying
The boys start shakin their bums
Preacher mans face turned white as a Ghost
He said… Lord where did this come from?
2)
Down where the cotton fields meet the river
Willow trees weep so low
Peanut farmer sucking on a bottle of white lightning
Laying down his heavy load
Juke joints jumpin in the middle of a hay field
Hound dog lying in the Sun
Red-hot gumbo and a backwoods jug
Whole lot a shakin going on
Hot rod Lincoln and redneck thinking
Going to race ya down the road
Hot dam all right going to town tonight
Soon as I get the lawn all mowed
Got a hickory fiddle, an over turned tub
Something called a electric guitar
Scratches like a cat, chase the blues away
Preacher says we gone too far
Tear your shirt when the music gets hot
Hips start jumpin like a toad
Ground starts rolling and ya head starts rockin
Think we going to call this rock and roll
Chorus 1
Ya work so hard your head starts drumming
Suns so hot your hands start strumming
Got to be a way of overcoming
Down at the crossroads something started jumpin
Ya take your good days
Ya take your bad days
Ya take your right ways
Ya take your wrong ways
Throw in some fighten, and throw in some lovin
Sunday school teachin and the golden rule
Stand for your rights and spit in the eye
The girl next-door and apple pie
Put it in a pot, boils over the sides
That’s what we eat every day of our lives
Down in Mississippi we can party all night long
All Night long…All night long…All day…All night
Down in Mississippi we can party all night long….
3)
Yea out in the fields it all started cookin
Couldn’t keep a lid on the “pot”
Servin wang dang doodle and boom boom boom
And great big balls of fire
We got mojo workin and rollin stones
That can’t be satisfied
Got Muddy Waters and Albert King
Born under a bad old sign
Got Willie Dixon and John Lee Hooker
And Jerry Lee in overdrive
Got Smokestack Lightnin
And hey Bo Didley…tell me “Who Do Ya Love”
Got Howlin Wolves and Hound Dog men
And Chambers Brothers tell ya bout time
Got Five Blind Boys and Staple Singers
They going to kick you above
Sam Cooke twistin the night away
Mary Wilson so supreme
Jimmy Buffet take ya down to margarita Ville
And keeps on rollin like an oiled machine
Chorus 2
We got Robert Johnson’s beat
A poor man stands on his own two feet
We got Muddy Waters smile
We got BB King for style
Jimmy Reed and John Lee Hooker
Willie Dixon and Iceman Butler
Howlin Wolf and hey Bo Diddley
Jerry Lee Lewis and yeah Ike Turner
Chambers Brothers and Albert King
Mary Wilson and Sam Cooke
5 Blind Boys and Staple Singers
3 Doors Down and Blind Mellon
And we got Elvis P the King
Yeah down in Mississippi we can party all night long
All night long……………….
(sub chorus)
Yea Jimmy Rodgers and Conway Twitty
Tammy Wynette and Jimmy Buffet
Ray Price and Bobbi Gentry
They aint rock and roll
But down in Mississippi
Hot damn…we love our country
All Night Long…we can party all night long

Bright Blue Rose

The Bright Blue Rose
Come now here this song’s been waiting
Off to find the Bright Blue Rose
Broken hearts the world’s been making
Will not take you where you long to go
Gaze beneath the broken promise
Yesterday no need to hold
Reach down where your heart is beating
There I’ll meet you at that river
Refrain
Some will rise and some will stay free
Some will fall and some will go
Some will stay lost inside their daydreams
Some will find the open road
Come with a light on
Cast your shadows
Come with a reason
For heaven’s ways
I’m with a mind for journeys yonder
Cast your ropes…we start now here today
Refrain 2
Man the oars for the way out through the harbor
Set a course past unconstant shores
Set the sheets a hard for the outward flowing
Sailing on the promise of an open door
I am a sailor on the open ocean
Fill me lungs with the lively breeze
Out into the Mindless Vast I’m going
There I’ll find a Bright Blue Rose for me…

Candle light and soft the whispers
Cover me from the storm
And turn my mind from glamour once it craved
Words of Power lift like incense
On the wind I caste a prayer
And breathe a new diviner air
Open doors for me… I hardly know your name
Oh but mid this world I still have heard you sing
Come to me invade my breast
And flow the honey of your word
They say your joy is giving more
Than I deserve.
(2nd Movement)
Bless the man that stands till the end…when the Light will shine
His children shall be plentiful and free
Bless the women who cried through the night unseen you bleed
Now the World will be what you decree
We were waiting like a tree
Holy purpose within its seed
Worlds awaiting… never known
Now its time to be shown
Call my name
Tear down all my resistance
Lead me by Your assistance
Sing my heart song
Night and Day
Lead me far from the “isms”
Hold me inside your rhythm
Oh my heart show me
Oh my Love Know me
Never let me fall away
B)
Call my name
Tear down all my resistance
Lead me by your assistance
Sing my heart song
Night and Day
Lead me far from the “isms”
Hold me inside your rhythm
Oh my heart show me
Oh my Love Know me
Always let me sing Your Name…Your Name
(3rd Movement)
On Your way…On Your way
The treasure is given Today
Rapture so Strange and Sublime
Translating Infinite Mind
The Spirit it turns you to Gold
And opens the door to your soul
Density reaches its goal
The rhythms of wisdom we hear
Dissolving all worldly fears
The God and the Goddess are joined
Ecstasy down through your loins
Breath in the mystical joy
Breath in the mystical joy
Breath in the mystical
Rising all around us
Oh I will love you forever
Never ending is your Peace
Many lifetimes I was clever
Now I surrender in your ease
I’m on my knees
B)
Restlessness now it can be
Eyes that were sightless now See
Heaven descending is free
Its purpose is tranquil and sweet
Your flesh becomes like a stream
Flowing you out to the sea
Color a visible tone
Telling you now that you’re home
Innocence holy re-found
Innocence holy re-found
Forever may your joy resound
Forever may your joy resound
Forever may your joy
Rising all around us
Oh I will love you forever
Never ending is your Peace
Many lifetimes I was clever
Now I surrender in your ease
I’m on my knees.

The Sin of Our Time
I took my old friend Billy
To see the Queen Mary
He could see it from his hospital down in the wharf
He said it was a troop ship in WWII
And he and his two brothers had fought in that war.
Now Billy’s been cryin for near fifty years
And with a broken spirit he tries to carry on
On the isle of Iwo Jimo they were hit by a mortar
Billy lost his legs
And his brothers were gone.
We walked up the gangplank…looked over the side
Today’s the anniversary his brother’s had died
He was looking for healin
But I saw his mind fall apart
As we looked out on a parking lot filled with Japanese cars
(Chorus)
Out on the highway…into the skies
Into our thinking late in the night
He said, “War is big business…we always make more
Someone gets rich…and the World gets poorer.”
2)
Now Billy’s son went to Vietnam…he wished he wouldn’t go
But governments don’t want their young people thinking on their own
Take a blanket of loneliness and a Mind yet unformed
Turn a boy into a soldier and business goes on
He came home without a scratch and medals on his chest
But his heart was broken he said he was mis-led
But nobody listened…we already knew
Billy’s son sent a bullet
Through his own head
(Chorus)
Out on the highway…into the skies
Into our thinking late in the night
What the blind man don’t tell you…don’t want you to know
More took their own lives than died in the war
3)
They called it Desert Storm…like a Disneyland ride
It flashed across our TV’s the ratings were high
And arms dealer’s showcase…carefully contrived
Right down to the newscast
It looked so civilized
But out in the desert down in their bunkers
The enemy wanted surrender we had bombed them all night
Their officers wouldn’t let them…they held them at gunpoint
They were young and scared
Just wanting to survive
Now it takes a lot of lies…for a man to kill his brother
Make believe he’s not human…he’s on the “other side”
The top brass had no answers…they sent down the orders
Start up your bulldozers
And they buried them alive
(Chorus)
Out on the highway…into the skies
We all hear the screams late in the night
He said, “War is big business…we always make more
Someone gets rich and the world gets poorer.”
(Ending Chorus)
Oh sweet sweet surrender
Come into out hearts we’ve lost out way
Stop this World with your Heavenly Grace
It’s time for you to keep the Promise you made
Send it out on the highways…into the skies
Into out thinking late in the night
In the unfeigned Kingdom…there’s no “other side”
Separation is the Sin of Our Time
