There's more than meets the mind at times
And all the mountains we have climbed
Were plateaus that could never find
Highs above this blazing sky
Where wind will capture air
And motion us to care
A child on the brave frontier
He plays the game we call beware
Confined by an unconscious scare
Our willingness will never dare
To open up our vital eyes
To open minds, a great surprise
And if our willingness won't dare
then how are we supposed to care
For all the seas which man won't row
For all the seeds which man won't sow
For the colored life I'll never know
For our angry enemies,
Who are our angry enemies,
We call our foes!?

We're all going through "IT"
Diggin' our heals in, through all of the shit
One hand tied to desire
The other tied to the Earth
said, "I ain't leavin' this place,
Noooooooooooooooooo
Without a handful of dirt!"
'Cause we're all sunflowers
That bare a thousand seeds
To be reborn a thousand more times
As the sunflowers that we need
And we all grow up so fast
We all grow up so fast
We all grow up so fast
We all grow old so fast...
Better make it count!
Better listen up ^^^
It's better not to shout
We might be missing out!?
'Cause we're already home!
We're already home!
We're already home!
We're already home!
But, We're all trying to figure Life out
Though this mind keeps changing
As it screams and shouts
And some of us learned to hide out loud
See I gotta make you believe
I know what "It's" all about
But the truth is, I fear
I shake, but I feel
There's something going on
Beyond, this turning wheel
Well, Some of us just want to get out
Can't handle the feeling
Just can't handle the doubt
But, I met a man who healed himself
Of this strange obsession
To conquer death
And he's not afraid anymore
She's not afraid anymore
He's not afraid anymore
No, She's not afraid!!!

We danced beneath our broken chandelier
The wind was blowing on the land
Your hair was winter, I was green
In the summer of your smile
It felt like May
Our wildflowers perched upon the ledge
While sparrows spoke like diamonds in the hedge
"We crow like captains of the sky!"
I heard one sing aloud, so I replied,
"We All have the wings to fly!
Spirits true as baby's eyes
An incandescent light inside
So, have no fear, Know
You Never Die!
You Never Die!
You Never Die!
You Never Die!"
Everything Is Alive!

Trail Of Tears
10:18

I've been walking down this road of tears
A trail that has been worn, for many years
A sorrow that is known
By a people who've been torn
From their sacred homes
To build up castles to the sky
Can you tell me what makes a life?
Can you tell me what makes a life?
Can you tell me what makes a life?
Can you tell me what makes a life form!?
Can you tell me what makes a life?
What makes a modern man more civilized?
Is there a warmth within his bones?
One unlike any other this hollow world has known?
And what of this shell?
The one we color justified or condemn to hell
What is it in the hue of man
That makes him worthy of his fair share of land?
What makes him worthy of his fair share of land?
What makes her worthy of her fair share of land?
What makes her worthy of her fair share of land?
To carry on in her traditions
Even when she's lost, and missing, her family
Is there a space to grieve in these crowded streets
Eye to eye? Yes, I Believe!
Eye to eye, Yes, I Believe!
Eye to eye, Yes, I Believe!
Eye to eye, Yes, I Believe that -
This next generation's here to pick up the slack
Of what it is in this culture that's holding us back
What is it in this Culture that's holding us back!?
What is it in this Culture that's holding us back!?
What is it in this Culture that's holding us back!?
What is it in this Culture that's holding us back
Against the wall!?
Against the Wall!
Against the Wall!
Against The Wall!!!
And, What is that in my brother's eyes?
A pain that has been crystalized
By time spent in the reaping fields
At a cost much higher than our yield;
At a cost much higher than our yield!
And, To my sisters with my brother's face - Know
There's no shape a soul can't take - And
In my heart you have a place - There's
Nothing wrong with anything My God Creates
There's nothing wrong with anything my God creates!
There's nothing wrong with anything my God Creates!
There's nothing wrong with anything, you can feel.
Some tell me there's an end in sight
Some ask me if I can see the light
Of a new day being born
Where every scarred mind is mourned
A gift of Grace sent from above
To Release the Pride
And fill us All with Love
To Release the Pride
And fill us All with Love
Release the Pride and fill us All with Love
Release the Pride and fill us All with Love
My friends, We've been honest since the beginning
With Love, My friends,
We've been honest since the beginning
With Love, My friends,
We've been honest since the beginning
