Angel 03:40
a quiet dream a light seen a present being and i'm floating heaven's song she sang along as i began to sing a rustling in my hair she was there my angel messenger from the other side came to take me for a ride but frightened was i i chose to hide and opened my eyes awoke from my dream yet again a light seen she remained hovering then wished away another dream another day

What more can we do? Try not to be blue Keep our heads up high Pray for something new What else can we do? Graciously await for better days Pray for spirit's presence In everything that they send In hopes that they will help mend All that has broken This is just a test That will soon come to rest And all that is present Will benefit For God is watching us He would not turn away And we all must believe In something Pray my people stay Do not turn away There is hope I know For better days Do not wait One more day Become who you are Find your purpose Stand behind your truth You know what to do God is watching you You're an angel I believe in you And all that you do This is all a part of the earth's myth Once there was a dream And it is still standing And you must believe in something You will find There is light You will see There'll be be peace Pray my people stay Do not turn away There is hope I know for better days What more can we do? Try not to be blue There is hope I know for better days

Ocean 05:46
The sun's ray's spead Out over the mountain And time melts deep Into the ocean I'm at the beach Didn't come to preach Just came to play The day away At the ocean I'm gonna stay all day And throw my cares away At the ocean She will cleanse me She will wash my blues away I'm gonna stay all day And throw my cares to the ocean Walking in the sand The feelings grand To feel the earth Beneath my feet Is oh so sweet I'm gonna stay all day And throw my cares away to the ocean She will cleanse me She will wash my blues away I'm gonna stay all day And throw my cares away to the ocean The sun's rays spread Out over the mountain And time melts deep Into the ocean

Stop to listen to the sounds around you Stop to hear what's in front of your eyes Lies, so many lies Tell me Who's really telling the truth anymore? Why are so many unhappy? Why are so many untrue? Why are so many so lonely, so dirty so sad and so blue? Why is it so hard to just get by? Why don't we have enough time to look up at the sky? Mystical universe above ignored Mystery replaced with mysery Cross the T, the Christ, the rest the rised Mystical universe above our guest I guessed But you don't see me, you don't hear me You don't understand me Mystical universe above out guest I guessed But you don't see me, you don't hear me You don't understand me

Regenerated 02:43
Regenerated Transportation Stolen Nations Save their faces From extinction Been replaced with Brand named faceless Advertisements For money greed And things like these Who wouldn't seem to Buy their schemes Yet everyone is cashing in And we have so little left To buy and sell Before our organism will fall ill And cease to exist But this is not our fate And the messengers They make haste And reveal to us this Here we sit on such a sacred gift We must honor her And make these changes We could discover her And rearrange this No more alienation Community is coming I can feel this is happening You can hear this in MUSIC!

Deliver Me 04:21
I'm tired of waiting for my dreams to come true I'm lacking motivation It's so hard sometimes to hold this vision I feel so disconnected from spirit I rarely feel her presence It's as if the whole world is blind I'm tired of wondering why We have so little time There's grey clouds in the sky I'm falling behind Where is the sunshine? Now don't get me wrong I like the rain But it's been so many days That i've felt this way There's little now that moves me My spirit's growing weary I'm losing faith I used to be convinced of many things I used to think that I could do anything But the people of this world can be so cruel They can make you feel so small I need a teacher, I need a spirit guide To open up my eyes, teach me to be wise Show me the way to better days Tell me it will be okay Oh lord, I ask you to send me an angel Lord, God, I pray for your guidance Deliver me It's so easy to be weak To claim the victim To find comfort in suffering But I ain't gonna take the easy way I still have faith That there is a heaven That our angel's are near Tho I may not feel her presence I know they're there Oh lord, I ask you to send me an angel Lord, God, I pray for your guidance Deliver me

Wishing Well 03:05
Discovering the light within As bright as starlight Night falls She calls to mother moon Too soon To tell her wealth A wishing well She's wishing well A wishing well You must trust her being Discovering the light within As bright as starlight This night transcends all strife To mend any ill Any sickness Weaknesses meld to strength Away to being You're listening to the sea You see clearly Like water flowing Going away Awake To the universe within

Water Words 03:10
Heaven said Clear your head Been clogged up With have's and have not Lift her up Can't comprehend What's seldom said Like hesitation's a new trend No meditating Been hanging with hypocrites Talking shit Let her go To freedom's flow and Ascend to heaven's tend Mending in a gentler state Like the lighter side of being I can relate Wisdom comes in waves Wakes us from these days of ignorance and materialism Consequence is not worth seeking Consumed by wants and needs Among many other things Telling it like it is yes It's all heaven's gifts Grant us understanding Help us see the light Like dragonflies Metamorphosize Eyes wide open Hoping to transcend Hate and alienation We are one nation Under God right? Ain't got time to be fightin' and sinnin' Just writing with inner meaning Hoping for the best in all that is Bless!

I question, asking myself "Who am I to talk and not to walk the walk?" I want to get my hands dirty In helping to build a new world A better way to live today Couldn't say that It is okay to go on like this is bullshit.. "I am that I am, the hand of God in action. I am whatever we imagine to bleed we all bleed the same sky blue, walking the walk and knowing that I do. Charging Violet Flame into the earth aligning each rhyme with the higher purpose of the universe within, I am that I am" Couldn't we join together now to build this world better for you and for me and everyone as if we truly were blood brothers and sisters? Couldn't we try something new cuz this ain't workin', like I am not moved, like you're all too cool for your own good and this ain't godly. He wanted you and me to work together to build this world better. I am not buying it this time, I want to build it with my own hands. Isn't that part of his plan? Shouldn't you offer your services too? Who are you to talk and not to walk the walk?

Every morning they said to me, "It's the story that's gonna set me free" I couldn't stop now I can still freestyle flowing opening up my crown Gifting and receiving this I'm purely perceiving this Wish I didn't have other obligations Gonna free up my schedule To keep myself available For spirit's intent is coming through I know what I have to do It's time Now is the time It's now or never It's nothing sly or clever Just common sense is what I can make of this Experience has changed my life I'm gonna make it right Don't stop now No I can't and how Gonna live my life right Concentrate my energies toward the one Draw my strength from the sun Sum of one in everything I can feel this when I sing Scheduling time to find the inner eye Wisen up and drink from this cup O spirit God O father of the mother earth Take me with you to your highest order And allow me to return to sing Jah praises! High in I I in I Keep writing its flowing going never ending Open i am flowing Bowing to you Your humble servant You deserve this dedication I'll serve this nation Under one God right? Ain't got time to fight This stress is not necessary Just bless everything Blessings! Keeping it real I know the deal Just Breathing Laughing Dancing Singing Hugging Healing Crying Trying Humbled Silent Quiet I's is Just this Moment Present Heaven sent Grateful Open This time is golden I'm holding on to this experience is real I can feel this is right on track Gonna give back all that i have to make an impact That's positive Gonna lead by example Learn from this ample time that i set aside Dedicated to this morning ritual Of words that i been holding onto for too long Gonna come out in song, after song, after song That i gotta share gonna let it go like air Flow like water Cease he day sun's shining No excuses like this is divine timing Gonna speak my truth and reap these fruits and leave the flower's fragrances For these are the gifts from heaven sent They sang to me sprit's set me They spoke to me They told me this And now i have the faith to see it Speak this truth And share these tunes For the muse's choose's music's gift Sit Reflect yeah, this is it BLESS!

So Still 08:05
Do you feel that mornin’ chill? Summer’s gone so still so still I couldn’t want for more Wanting nothing more Than the present moment Heaven’s sent Inspiration, like Mexico So many years ago I can’t remember a time Inspired by the night Couldn’t want for more In time traveled Across the world And back I could have Though not yet Perhaps in time I’ll choose more wisely Yet, inspirations coming Like the seasons bring Changes of colors and many things Unseen Unspoken Un said In side My head Have you read the papers lately? They say That dooms upon us Carry on then Carry on Like men in suits They’ll reap your fruit And leave you bear With none to spare Not a drop of water In Niger, For instance For the thirsty Hunger Only for the locusts There they’ll bear no fruit Starving Children are dying! Does any body care? Is any body listenin’? To the crying? Babies are dying! Does anybody dare? To spare A dime? their time? I’ve tried To mind The many Needing Any endless suffering What more can I give? To this to life To end this strife What more can we do? What more can I do? What more can you too?

I M U R 02:08
On my mind always you are In my dreams again you are Let me be You can't tho far away you are And tomorrow I return And nothing's changed I know for sure Again this game we play I M U R In love tho far away you stay You fear this closeness Feeling's you'll miss Should I go away and stay for good this time But still I sing for you my dear I fear this will never change Forever my heart will ache This sorrow will remain I curse myself to feel this way Much stonger I should be Than to give you my power And I pray you'll set me free So many more important thoughts My head should occupy But you are still and frozen in my heart I cannot lie Forgive me now and tell me Do you love me now or no? Cuz i've much more important things to do Please let me go
