I AM lyrics
"Mission Responsible"
Be a part of an institution
lead the way in a revolution
wear a wig and a permanent smile
be a part of a celebration
make the plans or the cancellation
quick decisions
lets change our minds
well there's people out there
but it's people we are
were just faces from different places
drinking juice from mason jars
I'm on a mission responsible
say your good-byes
be a father of no relation
or be a symbol for procreation
strike a match and there's sure to be fire
be a part of your situation
blame yourself for your frustration
dig a hole till you lose your desire
well there's people out there
but it's people we are
were just names playing different games
drinking coke and eating candy bars
I'm on a mission responsible
say your good-byes well I'm finding anything's possible
closing your eyes
closing your eyes
closing your eyes
be a part of your own decision
see your future with tunnel vision
take a chance if you want to survive
you do want to survive, don't you?
be the talk of a conversation
your a superstar out of isolation
get the keys its your turn to drive
well there's people out there
and it's people we are
we're just voices with different choices
smoking dope and rocking out on guitars
I'm on a mission responsible say your good-byes
well I'm finding anything's possible
closing your eyes
well I'll put it all to rest now
this @#%$ is off my chest
and every time I turn around
I don't see trees falling down
and there's something that we should buy
I think I'd rather have the oxygen
well I'm sure you would agree
although you seem to fight with me
but there's a situation here
that doesn't seem to want to disappear
and the nothing no it won't go away
and we we we we we must must must do something
now people
not tomorrow, yesterday
if something ain't right here
than its never to late
to make a change
understand that if there's work to be done
than it starts with number one
that's you
so smile
but please don't believe the only lie
that even the government cheats and @#%$
its poison
it kills your mind and your soul
and we have lost control
now you see that we can't go along
cuz I can see it in the eyes of world leaders
and there all wrong
and every single word that they write
and that's what I'm going to fight to survive and its my only desire to elevate the spirit and cultivate the higher
rhythms and rhymes for living is blind
and in and alternate reality its trapped up in your mind
Freedom
im on a mission responsible
say your good-byes I'm on a mission responsible
say your good-byes
“Sooner or Later”
Pull the hair back from your eyes,
Let the people see your pretty face
Try not to say anything weird-
Save your questions without answers,
Till your old enough to know
that things aint as they appeared
Before you go out in the sun
Cover your skin and don't get burned
Beware the cancer, it might kill you when you're old
Be first in line, raise your hand
remember everything you hear
and playing in the rain is worth catching cold
Sooner or later- we'll be looking' back on everything
and well laugh about it like we knew what all was happening and
someday you might listen to what people have to say
Now you learn the hard way...
We only want what's best for you
that's why we tell you what to do
and Never mind if nothing makes sense
cuz It all works out in the end
you're Just like us without a friend
But you can build a privacy fence (yeah)
Sooner or later- we'll be looking' back on everything
and well laugh about it like we knew what all was happening and someday you might listen to what people have to say
Now you learn the hard way...
Something's you have to learn
them all on your own
you cant rely on anybody else
or the point of view of a source unknown
If it feels good, & sounds nice, then its your choice
don't doubt yourself don't even think twice
Pull the hair back from your eyes,
let the people see your pretty face
you know they like it when you smile(find a reason to smile)Try not to focus on yourself share that love with someone else
don't let the bitters bring you down (down)
don't let anything bring you down
Sooner or later- we'll be looking' back on everything
and well laugh about it like we knew what all was happening and
someday you might listen to what people have to say
Now you learn the hard way
“No One Above”
I'm wanna let you in
with some poetry we begin
get loose while the record spins
I could be your new best friend
and then even more we could click
no games, no lies, no tricks
no problems we can't fix
for love or just for kicks
I like the way you touch me in places
I heat up my heart races
deeper I'm falling in love
I go crazy
cause you want me
no question
I whisper a secret confession
miss you
there's no one above
no one above
what ever it takes
I bend the rule book 'till it breaks
I'll be a true love
no mistakes
I'll get with you
as long as it makes sense
with patience
I know
my way your wind will blow
two heart beats and one glow
ready, set, go
I like the way you touch me in places
I heat up
my heart races
deeper I'm falling in love
I go crazy
cause you want me
no question
I whisper a secret confession
miss you
there's no one above
no one above no one above
come on
take a chance
feel free to let your spirit dance
spark, flame, fire, and romance
its a brand new circumstance
to enhance who you are
no bruise, no cuts, no scars
it's painless
no broken heart
trust me baby
I like the way you touch me in places
I heat up
my heart races
deeper I'm falling in love
I go crazy
cause you want me
no question
I whisper a secret confession
miss you
there no one above
I like the way you want me
no question
whisper a secret confession
"its you"
there's no one above
I like the way you touch me in places
I heat up
my heart races
deeper I'm falling in love
falling in love
“The Sun Song”
one more beginning
for as long as it lasts
a new day for the living
all forgiving of the past
heavy footsteps
to the dark unknown
this is a mystery
no security of hope
here comes the sun
over my head
show me a path and I'll be lead
walking alone
I‘m not afraid
I have my wings to fly away
there’s none a fever
burning holes in your skin
a million questions
so let the journey begin
walk with reason
and you'll understand
sources infinite
so choose your demand
here comes the sun
over my head
show me a path and I'll be lead
walking alone
I‘m not afraid
I have my wings to fly away
fly away I have my wings to fly away
I have my wings to fly away
I have my wings to fly away
send in the messengers
let the story be told
set free philosophy
with the medicine, grow
one in a body
of a sacred plan
part of a vision
believe
and you can
believe
and you can
here comes the sun
over my head
show me a path and I'll be lead
walking alone
I‘m not afraid
I have my wings to fly away
I have my wings to fly away
I have my wings to fly away
“Bad Habits”
I get all my bad habits, watching you
its true
well I wish that things were so different
change it myself
its what I'll do
but I can't figure it out, yet
just how to make it perfect for you
but I'm closer than I was
yesterday
yeah I'm closer than I was yesterday
they say that life is for learning
well teach me to live
while I'm here
messages twisted and turning
what should I give
make it clear
cause I can't figure it out, yeah
I cant figure it out, yet
just how to make it perfect for you
but I'm closer than I was yesterday
yeah I'm closer than I was yesterday
don't you know there's no difference
I'm not the same
I'm only here to be with you
and now I'm closing the distance
dropping the claim
trading the past for something new
something new
why would you work with out living
spending your soul
what's it worth?
well I hope you make it to heaven
waiting for life
here on earth
cause I can't figure it out, yet
I cant figure it out, yet
no I cant figure it out yet
just how to make it perfect for you
but I'm closer than I was
closer than I was
yeah I'm closer than I was
yesterday
yeah I'm closer than I was
yesterday
“This Is What I Mean By That”
well get behind my eyes for another view
painted skies, beautiful blue
don't be surprised if you discover it all
snap into a different frame of mind
it’s a game, a seek and find
run the maze with lots of lines and no walls
and this is what I mean by that
this is what I mean by that
this is what I mean by that
now you understand
throw on the shoes that you wanna wear
you can choose your favorite pair
try not to care about the perfect fit
life’s about the thing that you wanna know
plant the seed and leave room to grow
listen, cause you never know what you might hear
and this is what I mean by that
this is what I mean by that
this is what I mean by that
now you understand now you understand
its not a game that I can play by myself
only you can look in me
and see the faces of someone else
you see the faces of someone else
you see the faces of someone else
well get behind my eyes for another view
painted skies, beautiful blue
don't be surprised if I'm a lot like you
well call the place for love inside of you
the empty space that it flow through
within your face, will show your feelings true
and this is what I mean by that
this is what I mean by that
this is what I mean by that
now you understand
now you understand

“Taxi Ride”
it’s a taxi ride kinda night in the city
Mr. driver man, can you get me there?
well, it’s a taxi ride kinda night in the city
and if you make it quick, ill pay you double fare
standing on the up side of avenue B
waiting for the next ride across the city
me and a 10 dollar bill make a solid plan
I got to get inside in the pouring rain
I like to be above ground on a beautiful day
with the whistle and wail, ill be waving my hand
it’s a taxi ride kinda night in the city
Mr. driver man, can you get me there?
where the vibe is right and the people are pretty
and if you make it quick, ill pay you double fare
hmm.....let me think, yes
quite a walk
15 streets
and 5 avenue blocks
well, if I said I'd be there
I don't want to be late
skip the “Hi”s, “How are you?”
and the “Where you from?”
cause tonight Jim in a hurry
and I got somewhere to be
I cant make them wait
no, its not like me
it’s a taxi ride kinda night in the city
Mr. driver man, can you get me there?
well, it’s a taxi ride kinda night in the city
and if you make it quick, ill pay you double fare
ill pay you double ill pay you double
ill pay you double fare
“Kiss and Tell”
I find myself
looking for
some company
beautiful multiply by two
one is only half as much
as it could be, baby
with you
would you be my “hey, how do you feel?”
would you be my angel with sex appeal?
would you be my sweet taste of caramel?
my kiss and tell
animals are making sense
they're seasonal relationships
lets begin
ill be your friend
your bend and ear
cloudy or clear
ill still be here
would you be my
“hey, how do you feel?”
would you be my angel with sex appeal?
would you be my sweet taste of caramel?
my kiss and tell
no reason to be shy
no pleasures to deny
no promises to keep
aint but one thing worth losing sleep, baby
you know what that is
yeah you know what that is
all I want is someone to believe in me
just be free with me would you be my
“hey, how do you feel?”
would you be my angel with sex appeal?
would you be my sweet taste of caramel?
my kiss and tell
“Miracle”
so how long had you gone
before you realized your maps were wrong?
you're turning up in places
where you don't belong
and the walls have something to hide
well I could be way over there in a minute
if I had enough strength
to bear and still grin it
if the measure of the match was fair
then you'd win it, but you're bound to lose
it doesn't take a miracle
for a natural disaster
to live in the world that you're after
but change is gonna happen to you
well it hardly seems worth the time
you spend complaining
if you're bitching at a world full of people
and explaining yourself
and how their life could be so much better
if yours aint so good
but I could leave it all up
to the president’s relying
on the people to believe false evidence
you can fight your way into a permanent residence
in the big house with free food, but no trees
it doesn't take a miracle
for a natural disaster
to live in the world that you're after
but change is gonna happen to you
it doesn't take a miracle for a natural disaster
to live in the world that you're after
but change is gonna happen to you
well I can put my voice out across the great loud speaker
and attempt to give strength to the folks feeling weaker
yeah you can call yourself a genuine truth seeker
but watch out, cause it might be found
well its kinda hard cause things aint what they seem
but it sure feels good to row gently down the stream
and it all makes sense, life is but a dream
so go merrily, go merrily
it doesn't take a miracle
for a natural disaster to live in the world that you're after
but change is gonna happen to you
it doesn't take a miracle for a natural disaster
to live in the world that you're after
but change is gonna happen to you
change is gonna happen to you
change is gonna happen to you
“Kings in Castles”
people said it would go so fast
before you know it, you'll be here
living life, innocent just don't last
it gets harder every year
see yourself in a place beyond today
yeah, the future can be scary
but just be wise to the games you play
don't let your spirit get buried
by then,
we'll be making history
we'll be writing fairy tales
we'll be stars in movies
by then, well be raising families
living off of memories
we'll be kings in castles
by then, we'll be kings in castles
having fun was the only rule
(its all about the fun)
yeah, there was nothing in the way
being left out or being uncool
(you wont catch me)
was the hardest game to play
people said very soon your games would end
if you grow up like you should
cause in this life you have to fend for yourself
like no one else would
by then, we'll be making history
we'll be writing fairy tales
we'll be stars in movies
by then, well be raising families
living off of memories
we'll be kings in castles
by then, we'll be kings in castles
we'll be the heroes“O Say can you see?”
those bright shining stars
can you see those bright shining stars?
we'll be making history
we'll be writing fairy tales
we'll be stars in movies
by then, well be raising families
living off of memories
we'll be kings in castles by then,
we'll be kings in castles
“Waiting”
there’s anger far behind the things
that surface on your mind
and bring your spirits down be
cause of all that comes before the rise and fall
its easier to hold your ground
your steady ground
discovering that over time
all the “could've been”s
they blow your mind
speak to you
and the voice you hear
wont stay with you
beneath the things you say and do
so let it outlet it out
they're waiting for something
to change into something worth waiting for
there’s anger far behind the things that surface on your mind and bring your spirits down
because of all that comes before the rise and fall
just hold your ground
let it out
they're waiting for something
to change into something worth waiting for
somewhere off in the distance
near the side of your resistance
lies, a peaceful existence
it waits
what a difference it makes
without boundaries no limits
no maximum reach
no guidelines to follow
a promise, to each his own
individual
a self destination
a wide open journey
on a path to creation
your life
is happening now
waiting for something
to change into
something worth waiting for
let it out waiting
for something
to change into
something worth waiting for
and they're waiting,
they're waiting

UnReleased Songs
Watercolor World
Shine down on my forehead,
Enlighten me to the bone.
Well, erase the lies that my hands have written
This time I find myself alone
Well, awake me from my restless sleep
Cause the fruit I picked is already gone
To the shadowland, where the father’s (weep?)
Help me taste the flavors still unknown.
Yeah, and it’s still alright alright, to be wrong
In this watercolor world
In this watercolor world that we’re living in
Will you hide from the mirror?
When the images are self-designed
Can’t you hear the voices changing through the past
While they're painted in your twisted foolish mind.
Well, now you were right in the beginning, but can’t you hear the voices screaming on the wall?
Well, the choirs and the church bells ringing; singing you are the fairest of them all.
CHORUS
Guitar solo
And it’s still alright alright, alright alright to be wrong
In this watercolor world we have built
Well the time has passed and it’s been so long.
I am free from my greed and my guilt.
CHORUS
Now, you cut your feet on that jagged fence.
Now let your father’s talk and tell you where to fall.
See it’s when I crack, crack, crack, crack, that shell of your innocence
Then you won’t be standing so tall.
CHORUS
EMERGE
There's a version of you
That you have yet to be
And it lives on it's own
And it hides underneath.
And it waits for the moment to surface
Through your skin, and your eyes, and your tongue.
And it hates that you don't understand it yet.
You're too young
You're too young
You're too young.
You're too young
You're too young
You're too young.
CHORUS:
Emmmeeerrrgge
Emmmeeerrrgge
Emmmeeerrrgge
Emmmeeerrrgge
When your lost in the haze
There's an easy way out.
Don't get caught in the maze
Of your fear and your doubts.
The strength that you want belongs to you.
But you can't be afraid to be wrong.
So if you act as your own authority
You'll be strong
You'll be strong
You'll be strong.
You'll be strong
You'll be strong
You'll be strong.
CHORUS
And the season will come
And all things will grow.
Sleeping away,
Winds will change their blow
Open eyes to see that life has become as brilliant again.
The strength in the sound of the crying breath,
You begin
You begin
You begin.
You begin
You begin
You begin.
CHORUS
PROMISES BREAK
Forgiving is difficult to forget isnt it possible?
Living with a diary of regret
Never let it take control
Its not falling short
You're human, dont worry
CHORUS:
Its not the first
It won't be the last
Honest mistake
It's not a perfect universe
That was the past, promises break
It's not so bad it could be worse.
Uh huh (repeats)
Expectations set me up, disappoint
to commit is challenging
maybe gives me more room
to create in this state of balancing
its not all your fault
you're human, dont worry
Myself
Underneath the words we use
There’s a living form of ex-press ion
And even as we talk we lose
Something that was once pure emotion
And I will give you more
I know it’s what we came here for
CHORUS:
And if I could be myself in front of you
And if I could lose my fear of me
Well I would be more than just this shell of what I am that you can see.
Well I wonder what you think of me.
If I let you through my protection
Well I hold the map and the key
And show you only glimpses of your own reflection
But I will give you more
I know it’s what this love is for
CHORUS
Well I know I can hide myself for so long
And I won't you look you in the face
if there’s really something wrong with me
if I'm afraid I won't show it
Give myself another reason to look away
And then you know there isn't one thing to keep from you
That it’s OK as long what you say is true
There is nothing that together we won't make it through
Just to be myself is hard enough for me to do
Hard enough for me to do.
And I will give you more
I know it’s what this love is for
CHORUS
Multicolored Glasses
If I told you that you can see the world any way you want to...
If I told you that every single thing is beautiful
If I told you that happily ever after was somewhere inside of you,
would you just believe?
You're gonna see the world through multicolored glasses.
You're gonna see the world through dandelion frames
Just a little girl, born to be an angel
try to make you change, world. you don't have to change
Fly anyway, Fly anyway.
Take a look around you, the sun's gonna bring you everything you need
Take a look around you. This is the place where fantasies and wildest dreams come true.
If you just believe,
If you just believe.
repeat chorus
Try to make you think everything is so difficult, but it ain't.
Gonna tell you that your happiness is just mythical, but it ain't
Gonna tell you that you need to be somebody that you never wanted to be.
Then, they'll try to make you pay for things that you can have for free.
Repeat Chorus
Suggestion Box
Lately, when we talk, it's been a struggle.
Why should I defend the way that I have come to view life?
Well, I don't need it all explained
And you can't know what's happening
If you're too busy worrying about everybody else.
chorus
Well, I don't wanna know
cause I believe in everything,
and I'm so tired of listening to everybody else.
Yeah, well, can't you let it go?
You don't control anything.
So, what's the point of arguing,
if nothing's ever right?
Yeah, well, I don't wanna know
Why concern yourself with information
that provides an explanation for your problems
if they still don't go away?
Yeah, well, you might be prepared for this.
But you're too scared that you might miss
out on all your fun to find there's other ways to live.
Repeat Chorus
Did you really think that you could change a thing?
Well, you found a place for all that's happening.
Then, you hear the words and they'll make sense to you.
Then you keep the ones that make your story true.
Well, I don't want to be the one
who occupies your attention
while you run and hide from what it is that troubles you.
Yeah, well, thank you for everything.
Thanks the most for not bothering me anymore.
You can argue with yourself.
Repeat Chorus
I don't need to know.
I don't care if I never know.
I don't need to know.
Lately, when we talk it's been a struggle.
MOTHER’S GARDEN

Colors original, everything beautiful

PAVE THE WORLD
Well there’s finally a reason
for the killing of the season
and the chopping down of trees
and all of this
look beyond your animals, your oxygen, the vegetables
and there’s a greater problem that exists
you see the aliens are coming (what)
the aliens are coming (who)
the aliens are coming
pave the world
you say that you're alone here
to satisfy your own fear
but there might be someone else
that’s watching us
well, we cannot take the chance
and leave our resources in hands
of people just like you and me that we cannot trust
the aliens are coming (who)
the aliens are coming (what)
the aliens are coming
pave the world
yeah, that’s real funny, but you guys still don't understand it
see we got water; we got trees
and we got flowers and those cute bumble bees
but can't you see
these are things
that the aliens like?
we must destroy them all before the Martians come to call
we'll be churning chocolate ice cream on a bike.
People do your part
and out of the kindness of your heart
find a blooming tree and chop it down
paint the whole world black
because when the aliens attack
not a single resource must be found
repeat chorus
