Ever wonder
Ever wonder why, the sky is so blue
Cause it’s looking down, on the things that we do
Ever wonder why the ocean is restless and deep
Cause it’s still listening, while were asleep
Ever wonder why the earth spins around
It’s to help you and me keep our feet on the ground

Loaded man with a gun
Should believe in moderation
But you live in excess
Should believe in communication
But you only express
Should believe in seeing stars
And you’re all city heights
You got half a culture behind bars
And you talk of human rights
Look at all of history
To see what you’ve become
Just another loaded man with a gun
And all of evolution see’s you standing in the sun
Another loaded man with a gun
The worst thing in our history
That ever has been done
Was back in 1940 something
When you dropped the bomb
Now you walk around the world point your finger at everyone
You think you are the savior that your the kingdom come
Don’t wanna live like America
I wanna live in a true democracy
I wanna live in a fair economy
Don’t wanna live under hypocrisy

I Had A Dream

I had a dream
Last night I had a dream
I saw Jesus coming down
There he was looking just like me and you
He’d been wandering all around
What of the good things I told you he said
These are the things you choose to do
Blood is shed
In the name of the father
And greed in the name of the son
And I’ll be damned if the holy ghost
Ain’t on the run
And here there’s those
Who have to have
And there’s those who can’t have not
And now there’s those
Who are starting to remember
All those things that have been forgot
Have you the time to repair the garden
Before the seventh day comes round he said
She lies bleeding
The land she is your mother
Look at what you have done
Come back to Eden
Cause the holy ghost
Is on the run

I believe (2)
I believe in all the little creatures
As they go flying by
I believe in the clouds
Floating up high in the big, big sky
I believe in the waves
Crashing on a wild and a restless sea
I believe in time
It don’t matter where he’s leading me
Is this the place?
Where our race is run
Well that’s all right by me
Is this the place?
Where our race is run
Then why the hell aren’t we
All free
None of it lasts forever
Turned on the TV to watch the news
Israel fighting in Palestine
Everybody got different views
Think it’s gonna get worse this time
So please forgive me, for giving up work
Not for myself but for what, our lives are worth
And for the loneliness
Women and children are dying in these wars
Things ambitious men keep fighting for
Talks of peace keep breaking down
Ideals not built on solid ground
So come on now
No need to pretend
Caring for our selves
Will leave nothing in the end
Except for loneliness
None of it lasts forever
And it’s all right
Cause none of it lasts forever
I packed my bags, I went down to the city
Trying to find something real
All I found was hurry and distraction
There weren’t nothing there
No nothing I could feel
What a pity
There’s nowhere to go
Most things forgotten
Even more that we don’t know
Except for loneliness
None of it lasts forever
And it’s alright
Cause none of it lasts forever

Around You

Around you
If we win, if we loose
If it just happens
If we choose
If we sin
If we find the light
If we are wrong
If we are right
Chorus: Kiss the earth and hug the sky
Let the water wash around you
Bless the sun
And the stars up high
Let the wind wrap her arms around you
If we live
If we die
If we fall
If we fly
If we die by fire
If we die by flood
Enough for a funeral pyre
Or to coat the earth with blood
Chorus:
If we love
If we hate
If we come together
If it comes to late
If we are smiling
If we cry
If we stay together
If this is good bye
Chorus:

Do You Believe In Love
02:54
|

Do you believe in love
Well I guess the time has come
Pack my things
And I’ll be gone
And the road keeps winding on
No matter where
No matter how long
And when tomorrow comes
I’ll be standing
In a new life, some where
And as the days turn into years
I know that time
Will wash away our tears
And I hope that we remember
All the good things that we’ve done
And I hope that we remember
In the time that’s left to come
You and me
Best of friends we will be
Cause that’s enough for me
Do you believe in love

Speck Of Dust

Speck of dust
Got her picture folded in my pocket
Safe to keep her being on my mind
Last time we met
I got a kiss and a blessing
Sometimes she’s as cold as ice
I believe she’s home again
Where else could she be?
Save falling down alone somewhere
Chorus: And I remember all the things we’ve done
I remember standing in the sun
I remember finding my resolve
Now I remember nothing
Had an olive branch too offer
Slowly touch my fingers to my mouth
Unsure now of her intentions
Should I turn my back and walk back out
She buys a ticket to anywhere
Well it can’t be bad as here
Anyone’s arms are waiting somewhere
And I remember
All the things we done
And I remember standing in the sun
And I remember finding my resolve
Now I remember nothing
Got a speck of dust in my eye

Let go of the wheel
Got a heart bent on happiness
Cause I ‘ve been let down
Got a holy man on my back
But sometimes I forget
Got a shadow smiling back at me
Perhaps I’m doing fine
So where do I go from here
Singing songs about the things I fear
And the things I love
Got a clear mind that put me here
But I don’t know where I am
Take a look at the state I’m in
And I just don’t understand
Shouldn’t have ever taken it on
Should have left it all alone
Gotta let go of the wheel
Gotta let go of the wheel
Gotta let go of the wheel
And go along for the ride
Get outta here
I saw a ghost last night
Coming through the wall (get outta here)
She stared at me
Then she wasn’t there at all (get outta here)
She raised my hopes
Way up high (get outta here)
Then she came and whispered in my ear (get outta here)
They say the time for dreaming
Is when the day is done
Just like the big
Same as the little one
Live your life in a day
It only takes the one
Live every day of your life
It’s why we got one

Natural (Rosalyn’s song)
I wish I could save the world
And make it a happy place
I wish I could write a song
And put a smile on everybody’s face
And if someone
Were to be my friend
I’d want a friend
Just like you
And if someone
Were to be a sister
I’d want a sister
Just like you
And if somebody
Were to share their heart
I’d want that heart
To be like yours
And if you need to know
That your ok
Then here I am with a song to say
It’s when times get hard
That’s when angles cry
So take this song and squeeze it
Wipe those tears out of your eyes
Oh Rosalyn you are all
Anyone can be
You keep your heart wide open
You set your spirit free
You are so natural and free

All Over The Moon
03:39

All over the moon
In the light of day
Somewhere, somewhere
In the light of day
People are walking
Somewhere
In the light of day
In the dead of night
Out there, out there
In the dead of night
People are waiting
Out there
In the dead of the night
When you look into their hands
And they’re worn from working
On the crowded streets
One day, one day
On the crowded streets
People will come together
One day
On these crowded streets
Gotta reach deep down inside
Somehow, somehow
Gotta reach deep down inside
Love is held within
Somehow
Gotta reach deep down inside
And when you look
Into your heart
You’ll see forever
And you’ll remember
All over the moon

Today
Today
All our dreams have come together
To wish
On a star already falling
To find
Ourselves in a new world
To strange
To understand
And we know that
Time is still our friend
He’ll be there till the end
And what is it
We all hope to find
When we make a stand
(In the name of love)
(On this day of love)
I believe
In the right to freedom
I believe
In the gift of kindness
I believe
In the way of life
I believe
In the way of love

Generations to come
Well I hope I understand one day
Why all the world split up this way
We don’t talk the same we don’t look the same
Upon the things that we’ve done
And do you believe in god I was asked
And I said yes, that’s were my shadow is caste
So what do we do now
That we all stand on each other’s land
Chorus: Lets make a call to arms
So that we may lay them down
Lets hold each other’s hands
And sit upon the ground
Lets look upon the truth
In the thing that we’ve found
Cause the time has come
For the generations to come
Well I hope the road were travelin on
Takes us to the place where we belong
We can’t see ahead
And we don’t even know
Where we started from
And I hope the sky stays friendly up above
For the things we have done
To the land that it loves
We can’t do no more
Cause it’s scared and sore
From the things that we’ve done

Saint Erin

Saint Erin
On a rusty iron rail
In an empty factory yard somewhere
In a trampled down back yard
In an urban army camp somewhere
Saint Erin stands
Breeze blowing in her hair
She stares in the distance there
I’ll be there one day
When I grow up I know I will
It’s where I met her
I was swinging on a branch
On a rocky outcrop
Back home somewhere
And something caught my eye
And I just had to stare back then
To where Saint Erin stands
Breeze blowing in her hair
I smile at her standing there
I’ll be there one day
When I grow up
And here I am
It’s where I met her
