See the children lying in bed
Without a clue what enters their heads you see
Sex, drugs, and rock & roll
Watch the world take it's toll
Try to prevent it, try to repent
But what you've left is like wet cement
Pray to God, wish for glory
Whatever you do it's the same old story

Forests burning, animals slaughtered
Parent's losing their sons and daughters
Leaves you cold with a passion to kill
Feel the Earth, watch it suffering still
Segregation, corruptive nation
Feel the pressure of temptation
Watch the world take it's toll
Try to find a place in your soul

I see you
I feel you
I hear you
We're eye level

And it's coming down to just one thing
Every day I see it in your eyes the joy you bring
Wonder what it is that's on your mind
Everybody's got to fight through life and this is why

I see you smiling and it comforts me
I see you smiling and you shelter me
I see you smiling and you carry me
I see you smiling you're alive and free

Take a look around at what you see
The sky is blue, the grass is green, and the birds still sing
Wonder what it is that's on your mind
Everybody's got to fight through life and this is why

Shadows of the past are lurking
Chained to the wall I find
Horror in the skies above me
Broken glass in the sands of time
Wicked are the ways of many
Carnivores that feed on lies
Folded are the arms I cling to
Tinted are my lonely eyes

Merciless the sky above me
I cannot touch I cannot climb
Gliding are the crows and vultures
Broken wings the doves lie dying
Motionless I stare in silence
Clinging to a fading sun
Destiny appears before me
Laughing at the desparate one

I've walked on the beach
With my feet in the sand
I've felt all the water
On my face, in my hands
I've walked on the streets
Concrete on my feet
I've seen all the people
With their faces in their hands

We breathe in the day
Making our way
Drifting away
Home 

I breathe in the air
I breathe in the air
The air is so cold
It's black and it's bold
The monster takes hold beside me
I stand up and fight
Bathe in the light and
I'm drifting away

In your world
Coming down
I can't live but I'm alive
Dreaming slow
Walk in sound
I can't live but I'm alive
Singing softly
Taking time
I can't live but I'm alive
Single moment
Sunshine
I can't live but I'm alive

Talk of touch
Mouth is dry
Reach alone
Untied
Walk of woman
Silken sky
Setting on
Mystified
Singing softly
Taking time
Single moment
Sunshine
Setting on
Morning high
Widened arms
Naked eyes

I believe in the way that it's gonna be tomorrow
No time for hatred and no time for pain or sorrow
Everybody's gonna come together with joy to bring
Nothing left to do and we can laugh and dance and sing
It's all out there all of the time
It's all out there all of the time
It's waiting
It's waiting
It's waiting
It's waiting

As we look into the sky
We can all spin around and fly
And as we're spinning through the night
We see the stars all shine their light
And everything is crystal clear
We cannot live our lives in fear
And everyone can lend a hand
And we can learn to love this land

If we look inside we'll see
We can all live in harmony
The rainbow is not hard to find
The colors blend and all unite
And the best thing that I can do
Is open up my hand to you
And then one day we'll understand
And we can learn to love this land

Here I sit alone at night
Dancing in the candlelight
Fighting back a wall of stone I'm dreaming of you
Miles away a lonely girl
Makes her way in a cruel world
Birds will always sing and then they fly away
Winter months grow long and cold
Different lives slowly unfold
Love torn apart my spirit left behind

Then you come back
You come back to me and
A flash of every memory
Appears before my eyes and
 I fall to your knees

Tick away moments in time
Fighting back the tears inside
Lost in a desert searching for a home
I start to realize
My power is to rise
Above the pain I feel I won't look back
You're shining on your own
I've found a passage home
A gift we both have shared can lead anywhere
The world will never end
You will return again
Things that are meant to be survive the time

I can see inside you
I can read between the lies you sell
So close to finding a better way
Blinded by darkness and decay
I can re-define you
Take away the power that you claim
I've had enough of empty promises
Done cleaning up the mess

We've seen a lot of hate
I can't associate
It blows my mind away
What is there left today
Another part of me
I gave so willingly
The time has come to believe
A better destiny
The shock is in my head
Alive and feeling dead
You take away my bread
Turn all my green to red
The rivers and the woods
Gone for the common good
Protect your neighborhood
I think we've misunderstood life

I close my eyes to you
I can find a better life than this
I see the colors that eluded me
Return into a new reality
I'm coming back now
Back to a brighter light of day
I've had enough of empty promises
Done cleaning up the mess

Nature is God and God is Nature
Who believes that this is true
Flowers die below our feet as
We reach up to the skies of blue
Devils take away tomorrow
Captures creatures breeding grounds
Peace to smoke and herbs to follow
Flames engulf the land we found

The willow cries the night to sleep
See them wither as they weep
Blades of grass that grab the light
Night and day begin to fight
Creeping winds will start to blow
Rising high and falling low
Carve her up you try to break her but
Nature is God and God is Nature

You always make me uptight
You keep me up every night
And all I do or say
It's never good enough that way
The more I think about it
There's no excuse for it
Your life is filled with anger
I try to live life in peace

I know things that you don't know
It's more than you can take
So you'd better go now

You like to keep it this way
Because you know everything
And when we talk about it
You always scream and shout it
When they lay me to rest
I'll know that I have been blessed
Because I've seen all your spies
You've Opened Up My Eyes

I paint a picture of a perfect world
A sight I know could come to life in time
I fantasize about this in my head
I hear you talking all the things you said

Alone inside I'm happy in my room
Check my guitar to see if it's in tune
I break it out and then I pack it up
Still realizing that it's not enough

It's all a lie
And I see your disguise
Burning so bright
I'm left barely alive

It's all a lie
Tearing me in two
How do I control
What I feel for you

Pain burning inside me
Another life that couldn't be
Look around eyes filled with lead
Am I insane or am I dead
Heaven above always changes face
Another place, another race
Come along let's take a ride
Run away there's nowhere to hide

Our time will be returned
Lies taught, lesson learned
Power laughs as it tries to break you
Don't let your mind escape you
One world we have a choice
One world and an angry voice
One life we all must give

One life we crave to live

Everything is coming clear
I see the things that often used to disappear
I know exactly what to do
My mind goes round and round keeps coming back to you now

I stare into the wishing well
I throw my coin inside and wonder what the future tells
The dreams they all are coming true
The beauty in the world resembles everything in you now

It's like a mountain waterfall
It's like the waves of the ocean dancing back and forth
It's like a flower blooming
A ray of light shimmering through the trees upon you now

I know where to run
I know where to hide
Yes I know where I'm going now
This feeling grows inside

It's like a mountain waterfall
It's like the waves of the ocean dancing back and forth
It's like a flower blooming
A ray of light shimmering through the trees upon you now

I can't explain this new sensation
I'm feeling weak in the knees
So tired of the aggrevation
Trying so hard to please

Waiting for the break of day but the rain keeps washing it away
Searching for a distant sound still the winds keep blowing life around
Thought I could escape this maze but the clouds just left me in a daze
Gaze into an endless sky I've got time to think and birds will fly
In the summertime
In the sunshine

So many lives have passed before me
Finding ways to open doors
Feel the sun it's burning slowly
Shine upon the distant shores

I want to fly
Want to fly right to you
I see right through you and
I wonder why
Yea I won't deny
That I never knew you
Or what to do and
I wonder why

You see what we've been going through
Another day that's taken away and
I want to cry

You see how it's been killing me
The ecstacy that's filling me and
I want to cry

See the Shining Sun
Think about the Light
Listen to the Water
Flowing in the Night
Can you hear my Voice
Blowing in the Breeze
When I think of You
It brings me to my Knees

And I want tyou to know
I want you to know
Love I want you to know

Sugar sugar how can you
Be so Sweet
My darling don't you Know it
Every time we Meet
Hey baby you're Forever
In my Heart
Close your Eyes
And we'll never be Apart

And I want you to know
I want you to know
Love I want you to know
I want you to know
