Matthew
05:01

It's a good thing God loves all the sinners and saints
Brother you were a little of both
Good thing we are God's Children
It gives us a little hope
You had a guardian angel all these years working double-time
you tempted fate on a backwoods road now I'm the one left alive
with all these memories and things that I should have done
As you walk this Great Divide
the space between death and life
the wilderness of the Spirit
another for your to explore
Just listen listen to this Man
Trust in the love of God
Listen listen to this Man
Know that you'll be carried home!
open to the loving light of our Creator
your soul has always been whole
Continue to fish and dream dream fish the lakes and pristine clear waters
wish for trout unlimited in your own backyard
I know that you wanted this Earth to be restored
Like me you sought the respect of our father
you were sharp-tongued, and loud, with a raw sense of humor
a lover of mother nature and my mother's firstborn son
A solid man, a wild-natured son-of-a-gun
I had questions that I wanted to ask and a trip that never happened
I've got questions that will never be answered except in my own heart
late at night as the shadows grow
after mourning will the cool night ever come?
Matthew your life was not in vain there was never any race or competition
you came and went on your own terms
and in our eyes you have become
Brother, Husband, Father, Uncle, Son

Freedom
04:02
|

I love freedom watching lovers unknown
I wait softly with my daughter at home
Urban gypsy dark apparition
Olive skinned Pagan lady with Catholic sin
Jesus loving Indian
If I break down I know that I'll be reborn
Love rules free men loving women 'til morn
I fled from a gentle man for pleasures unknown
I bagged up my sentiments and headed for home
I've loved I've lived I've given my very best
If you never forgive me I still consider my life to be blessed
I flew on a gentle wind towards treasures unknown
withdrew to the islands and weathered the storm

Yeah you here everybody singing the same thing we got these
Universal Themes of Universal Love
They come from above and below you hear about the flow
so lean into it
like a river it goes on forever no need to fight
When you get stuck you chug along like a tugboat
use all your steam to go upstream
We got these Universal Themes
Yeah you hear everybody singing the same thing we got these
Universal Themes of Universal Love
We're One as Above so Below
you ebb and flow so get into it
Like a river you go on forever no need to fight
When you give up you float along like the Love Boat
for energy is within thee
We got these Universal Themes
We got these Universal schemes
We got these Universal things
We got these Universal dreams
Yeah you hear everybody singing the same thing we got these
Universal Themes of Universal Love
Do you like the way the wind blows
and quest to know? Yeah, we INtuIT
Like a lover undercover you got a need for flight
When you give in you make 'em grin like a love note
For you are me and we are we
We got these Universal Themes!

Me and the Earth
06:07
|
|||
Me and the Earth are very close
walking on her wherever I go
Me and the Earth are very close
she shows up as sand in my clothes
Me and the Earth are very close
Dust on my windows
Me and the Earth are very close
Relaxing my woes
She bathes me she saves me
She loves me she clothes me
She feeds me she needs me
She gave me life
I'm dark like her and cut in places
Bound in chains my spirit faces
Wires to hold in the energy
Divert it to false needs
Concrete chain where drives the intellect of humanity
Time to take a dirt road back to the places where
children play and the trees make peaches and we
eat with pleasure we don't measure yeah
the days and hours they go on forever!
Between the Earth and the Universe I am Loved

Scatter the Seeds
04:00
|
|||
In the loneliest of places down in the dust of the ground
In cages of desolation you were waiting to be found
Through tears I saw clearly through the cracks of walls you crept
In silence where the water trickles there the promises are kept
Another day awakened by the night
a handful of dirt and air to breathe
Raise your voice for the roots that run deep
Open your hands and scatter the seeds
Tracing along the broken lines we find the pieces all adrift
Broken earth a seizure of seas a sphere of wounds brings forth the gift
Trust the voice of the deep beneath in the fruit that falls a seed is planted
Your voice is yet in it's infancy for the growing mind these words are chanted!
Sea grass and wildflower, herb and tree
a second, a minute, an hour, a year
ticking all around the spiral seer 'neath the foundations of our fear
Putting down our blocks of burden collapsing pieces are all asunder
putting our hands to work again, the rising voice it speaks like thunder

Reconnecting
04:19
|
|||
I know I knew it all before I know I lknow it now
I've walked this road many times before yet I've forgotten it somehow
I find it then I lose it then I get it back again
Sometimes I feel I've lost it then the light comes shining in
I've been stressed and undone
Can't recall the way home nor the way I've come
lie in regret while my spirit awaits the rebirth the reconnecting
Stressed and undone I can't find my way home by the way I've come
Lying awake while I anticipate the rebirth the reconnecting
I've barely begun to uncover the depths of myself
I let this malaise this disease of my heart destroy my mental health
now it's time to explore the world beyond my door
the keys fall into my open hands as I grasp for something more
Things are gonna get better my life is gonna shine brighter
I will find my way out of this rut I can feel myself become lighter!
