None - just some "ahhhhs" and more "ahhhhs"

For Father 02:41
You taught me to be brave To embrace in joy The lessons that you gave Filled up this little boy You asked me to be kind Let it be my guide But never to be blind To see where snakes reside Oh, who'd I be If not for thee Loving this life Eternally You showed me how to play With a wink and nod And never to enslave The child that's inside You always had that shine Like the morning star I never had to wait To see the face of God Oh, who'd I be If not for thee Loving this life Eternally

Get It Right 03:38
I've heard it all before But I keep on, keep on falling Falling with the chords Til' I can't take anymore I remember as a boy Used to hold my breath forever Falling my anger was stored Til' her hand woke me once more This time i'll get it right Then we all turn eighteen Still tryin' to live our dreams Not worried of making amends Just laughing and crying with friends But we know how this story goes The further we go down this road The twists and the turns unknown Cause we face our demons alone This time i'll get it right So I revisit as a man Doing the best that I can Teaching me to be me To release and to breathe I've heard it all before Keep on, keep on falling Falling with the chords Til' I can't take anymore This time i'll get it right
4.
Cause we're Never really ready Never really ready at all But we learn to adapt to everything When all things rise and fall A child is faced with something new In times incessant yellow hues A way discovered circled through To drink in Nature's endless muse A man assumed the love he knew Could weave a mirror made for two But fear the demon sewed a new And reaped the clearing through and through So long, a seniors last adieu The milk white eyes reflect her truth Just know that black still turns to blue In a place where time can't touch you Cause we're Never really ready Never really ready at all But we learn to adapt to everything When all things rise and fall
5.
Cause we're all on the same road When we've all got the same hopes Sun and the moon and the sky and the sea that's in me The earth and the bees and the mist through the woods that's in you The blood in your veins is the same as the sap in the trees Shadows and clouds and the meaning we see destiny Cause we're all on the same road When we've all got the same hopes Skin and the sin and the fire we bring that's in me Body and mind and the things that we find that's in you Imagine your brain with the joys that you've gained gratefully Cause serpents they rise as our innocence dies endlessly Cause we're all on the same road When we've all got the same hopes
6.
This Is Mine 02:41
I've always sought for something more A selfish dance I can't ignore A tension between right and wrong Still it's my heart I will explore Don't listen to fools and the things that they have to say The doubts and the fears and the shame push it all away Rue and regret don't forget are a waste of time Cause this is mine, this is mine I never really understood To think of not and not of what could But I only know what's good for me Cause only yourself sets you free Don't listen to fools and the things that they have to say The doubts and the fears and the shame push it all away Rue and regret don't forget are a waste of time Cause this is mine, this is mine
7.
So just stay and watch the weather change So just stay and watch the weather change We don't have to speak Shared breath we drink in deep In Nature's secret keep Her fire to conceive We don't have to touch As life does as it must Cause iron always rusts And us we're dust to dust So just stay and watch the weather change So just stay and watch the weather change We don't have to taste Let wind of patience play As presence comes our way In clouds her lines are traced We don't have to see Our tired eyes still plea In storms she will sing An angel without wings So just stay and watch the weather change So just stay and watch the weather change
8.
Oh, that's not how it works Someone always gets hurt And we're back to the first Oh, that's not how it goes No one really knows How our stories grow Oh, let's all just try Good ways to say goodbye And leave it all behind
9.
These, these are the days Of peddlers play, Leeching on your lunacy These, these are the days When a tick is king, Feeding on everything These, these are the days When the foolish pray, And power makes them pay These, these are the days When truth is raped, And honesty is shamed So I choose to walk alone When my brothers lost all hope Setting fire to his home Eternal Winter, hearts grow cold Burn, burn it all away Successions mine, Engines that will revive Wash, wash it all away A full moon guides, We’ll rise, we are the tide Rise, rise above the fray Perspective gained, It will be alright Oh, these are the days When the sun will shine, Yes, just give it time So we choose to walk among Our greatest Mother, chosen one In this fire we have grown Eternal Summer, hearts of gold
