Once I Looked
02:06
|
|||
|
Once I looked at a tree
I didn't know what it all could mean
But I felt good about that
I'm satisfied, even with a hint
You see?
Once, I looked at a tree
And found reason to celebrate
"Howdy, friend
Sincerely, from me.
Look how we both share a fate,
You see."

Hold My Head
02:19
|

|
Hold my head
It's too heavy for my neck
But it must remain in place
And that is for sure
I proclaim it to be yours
Hold my name
It's too heavy for my self
But it will not go away
And that is for sure
I proclaim that it is yours
Hold my time
Yes I need it but I don't mind
If you take some for yourself
But do you mind if I take some of yours?

The Friendship Inn

Where do you come from and where have you been?
You're always welcome to the Friendship Inn
What brings you here now and what makes ya yawn?
But good thing you've come while the stove was still on
Now we've got a bed waiting for ya, my friend
And the time and concern to ask, "How have ya been?"
Now stay for a while if that's what you need
You don't have to feel that your stay will impede
Sweet summer days and their sweet summer sounds
Warm winter nights from the love surrounds
Front porchin' songs that will carry us home
Just waiting right here when you feel all alone
Now where do you come from and where have you been?
If you've had some bad trips, we'll still let you in
You're only human, we know we are too
Which leads us to ask, "Buddy, how do you do?"

Crazy mouse runnin' around my house
Can't you see that I'd let you out
But the cat is ready to open strike
And that mean 'ol cat ain't too polite
Here comes your chance
Better not prance
The door is now open wide
Could you make it to the outside
I now wish you the best
To me well you ain't no pest

Beside The Gentle Waters
02:58
|

|
Beside the gentle waters
The trees they bend and sway
The dock man never bothers
To ask them what they say
The rain is gently falling
Upon his rusted frame
The birds they keep on calling
The dock man for a grain
But he don't have any to throw
For them to stay
Above the gentle waters
The moon stuck on the wall
Whoever put it up there
Had no worries at all
The dock man's feet they dangle
As he let's out a sigh
And from my careful angle
I do not think he cries
But he knows
That life's tendency to pass us all by
Is meant for us to see the worth of love
Only love
Beside the gentle waters
The dock man thinks of love

A Song To Carry

Sing a song
A song to carry you home
It knows you want
To sing it to carry you home

Behold, The Peacemakers
03:11
|
|||
|
The bullies, they don't know
It ain't nothin' but for show
Bless their hearts
And the peacemakers, they know
That there's plenty peace to go
Around these parts
The bullies, they perceive
That there's nothing more to be
Than the boss
And the peacemakers can see
That freedom could be free
And at no cost
But the bullies recoil from love
As if it were a snake
The peacemakers they know
That love ain't no mistake
The more we give
the more we make
Yes, ain't it great?
What do you say?
They bullies, they don't know
Why anyone could smile
For a while
And the peacemakers, they know
That it's okay to smile
All the while
But the bullies recoil from love,
As if it were some pest,
The peacemakers, they know,
That love is nothing less,
Than a way to fly,
Into the face of death,
The more we give,
The better that we live

We Are All
02:33
|

|
We are all made of string
We are all being sewn
Into this thing
We are all made to sew
We all sew some things
You soon will know
Take my hand
Won't you please?
We are all
To be known
We are all candlesticks
We all light the same air
That we all breathe
We all have different wicks
Yet we all give a flare
That can be seen
Hold your light
Up to me
We all have
Some to share
