Point your toes girl and bend your knees
You will fly across the seas
Only you can hold you down
Just turn that frown upside down
You are who you are
Nobody but yourself (X2)
Point your toes boy and lift your hands
And take on what the earth demands
Don’t sit back and watch it fade
Just take pride in what God made
You are who you are
Nobody but yourself (X2)
I’m nobody who are you?
Are you nobody too? (X2)
You are who you are
Nobody but yourself (X2)

Breathe out
Breathe in
Speak out
Begin
Why do we settle for being only human?
Let this experience bring us back to the garden
Time to start breathing deeper
Time to start thinking clearer
Let your burdens get lighter
Let your beauty shine brighter
Change the TV station
Strike up a loving conversation
Maybe you can change the nation
Create a positive situtation
Breathe out
Breathe in
Speak out
Begin
Why do we settle for being only human?
Let this experience bring us back to the garden
Breathe out
Breathe in
Speak out
Begin

It’s been two moons since we began this journey
It’ll be two more before the seasons change
Who knows where this tide will take us
Let’s hold fast before things rearrange
Full Moon shed your light down brighter
Move us from season to season
New moon turn our hearts gently inward
Heal us, give some rhyme to our reason
Some rhyme to our reason
It takes two moons to plant a seedling
It’ll take two more to see it fully bloom
Who knows what this garden will grow us
Let’s beathe out and trust growth will come soon
Full Moon shed your light down brighter
Move us from season to season
New moon turn our hearts gently inward
Heal us, give some rhyme to our reason
Some rhyme to our reason

Feeling faded, avoiding my daily routine
Not yet jaded, some truth remains to be seen
I’ve managed to avoid the storm outside
I’ve managed to avoid taking your side
Cuz up till now everything felt right
It’s about that time, let this love take flight
My actions and his grace (don’t seem to line up)
Take a look at this faded face (don’t seem to line up)
Why everything hasn’t unwound (don’t seem to line up)
To that recognizable sound
Quietly intense I speak my mind through grey eyes
Tell-a-tale scents fill the room I don’t realize
I’ve managed to avoid the storm inside
I’ve managed to avoid taking your side
Cuz up till now everything felt right
It’s about that time let, let this love take flight
My actions and his grace (don’t seem to line up)
Take a look at this faded face (don’t seem to line up)
Why everything hasn’t unwound (don’t seem to line up)
To that recognizable sound

I wanna zip down your skin
To reveal your wounded heart
I’ll reach in with my hands
And put back the pieces that have fallen apart
Allow your healing power
To flow right on through my fingertips and
When it’s good and healed
I’ll hold it in and zip it up again
It’s undeniable, I am born into a flawed existence
There’s a part of you and me that’s always putting up resistance
Why does it take a conscience thought to show kindness to a stranger?
With all the safe things that I’ve bought I still feel like I’m in danger
I wanna zip down your skin
To reveal your wounded heart
I’ll reach in with my hands
And put back the pieces that have fallen apart
Allow your healing power
To flow right on through my fingertips and
When it’s good and healed
I’ll hold it in and zip it up again
The pendulum swings to the left or to the right
If it were standing still would it ever catch my sight?
When I look past the shallow waters and I swim down to the deep
I realize my true desire is to set your people free
(guitar solo: Mike Ritchie)
I wanna zip down your skin
To reveal your wounded heart
I’ll reach in with my hands
And put back the pieces that have fallen apart
Allow God’s healing power
To flow right on through my fingertips and
When it’s good and healed
I’ll hold it in and zip it up again

Black and White

Sleep is scattered throughout my brain matter
Dreams filled with laughter
Life fulfills it after I wake
Without complication embracing this sensation
My heart fills with compassion for people passing my way
Cuz things are not just black and white the world is filled with colorful things
And as I look through ever-widening sight I see all the beauty that this life brings
Yeah I see all the beauty that this life brings
My feet walk I let my heart talk
Not concerned with the clock
Try not to lock me out
Harmonious eyes we feel like spies into eachothers lives
I’m not sure why we don’t
Cuz things are not just black and white the world is filled with colorful things
And as I look through ever-widening sight I see all the beauty that this life brings
Cuz the more I open to the truth the less the lies can drag me down
No don’t forget that voice inside of you telling you to plant your seeds in the ground
Yeah its’ telling you to plant your seeds in the ground
(freestyle by Phil MacKenzie)
Cuz things are not just black and white the world is filled with colorful things
And as I look through ever-widening sight I see all the beauty that this life brings
Cuz the more I open to the truth the less the lies can drag me down
No don’t forget that voice inside of you telling you to plant your seeds in the ground
Yeah its’ telling you to plant your seeds in the ground

The Clearing
Joyce Saunders, c. 2006
You saw your shadow in the grass
Up in the clearing where the wind blows past
You danced around for nobody's eyes but yours
And on the ground, you laid your burdens down
Hung around with a cowboy, but only for awhile
You had a hard luck summer, he had an easy style
You paid the fare, on the fast track to nowhere
You didn't care, you left yourself behind
Chorus
Where did you go? Where did you go?
The one that we… came to know
Where are you hiding, child?
Who took you out of the wild?
You were so safe You were so safe
Under those… wings you made
And then you traded them
For the arms of a man
I understand why you spend time alone
Under the branches of those trees that you know
Sheltered from all the storms in your mind
I know the kind; I've felt that wind before
Chorus, then repeat:
Where did you go? Where did you go?
The one that we… came to know
Where are you hiding, son?
Always the lonely one
You were so safe You were so safe
Under those… wings of grace
And then you fell down…into my heartbeat sound
You see your shadow in the grass
Up in the clearing where the wind blows fast
You dance around….for nobody's eyes but yours
And on the ground, you lay your burdens down

You’re falling in love baby
You’re falling in love baby, how could this happen, how?
You’re falling in love baby
You’re falling in love baby, don’t ask the questions how
You got this look in your face like it’s something you can’t change
There are no words to erase, in my head I arrange
In my head I arrange
You’re falling in love baby
You’re falling in love baby, how could this happen, how?
You’re falling in love baby
You’re falling in love baby, don’t ask the questions how
You start to sweep the floor and then it all hits ya
You are asking for more than he can give you
You are asking for more than he can give you
You’re falling in love baby
You’re falling in love baby, how could this happen, how?
You’re falling in love baby
You’re falling in love baby, don’t ask the questions how
Love is beauty and eyes are wild fires
Truth brings the rain, grace brings the sunshine again
Truth brings the rain, grace brings the sunshine again
You’re falling in love baby
You’re falling in love baby, how could this happen, how?
You’re falling in love baby
You’re falling in love baby, don’t ask the questions how

I long to swim in the deep blue again
With no clothes to hold me back
Let my body go with the eb and flow
Salt water washing over my back
Deep blue I’ll come back to you
Deep blue your waves they call me to
Dive in deep and plant my roots on the oceans floor
I’ll keep scouring the sea until I find the door
Push back those stones of hurt and of pain
And I’ll wait for the hour deep blue when we’ll be one again
Oh I’ll wait for the hour deep blue when we’ll be one again
Floating on the ocean life is easy and fine
Here on the surface where the water is warm
But I’ll swim down where the sun don’t shine
And I’ll use this strength to find who I am
Deep blue I’ll come back to you
Deep blue your waves they call me to
Dive in deep and plant my roots on the oceans floor
I’ll keep scouring the sea until I find the door
Push back those stones of hurt and of pain
And I’ll wait for the hour deep blue when we’ll be one again
Oh I’ll wait for the hour deep blue when we’ll be one again

Take me down to rivers edge
Lead me through the swiftest tide
Take my hand as we go in deep
See me through to the other side
Isreal (X4)
Bring me strength in the under toe
Bring me hope in the cold cold waters
Bring me peace when I’m tredding tired
Bring me safe to other side
Isreal (X4)
Come and meet me
Where the rivers wide
Take me down to rivers edge
Lead me through the swiftest tide
Take my hand as we go in deep
See me through to the other side
Isreal (X4)
Come and meet me
Where the rivers wide

Free Yourself (live)

This worlds has it’s way of shouting deep and clear
That you’re just not enough, you question why you’re here
You look into the mirror, deep into your eyes
You’re visions never clear, you can’t see past the lies
If you wanna free yourself, you got to love yourself
If you wanna free yourself, you got to forgive yourself
If you wanna free yourself, you got to love yourself
If you wanna free yourself, you got to give, give yourself
So many times in my life I’ve been drawn to the flame
It sits me down and tells me the reason for my name
“Patience” and “Grace” is who I’m meant to be
This sacred path I’m guided down is mapped out carefully
If I wanna free myself, I got to love myself
If I wanna free myself, I got to forgive myself
If I wanna free myself, I got to love myself
If I wanna free myself, I got to give, give myself
It’s so easy to love your mother
It’s so easy to forgive your brother
It’s so easy to love eachother
It’s not easy to forgive, forgive yourself
If you wanna free yourself, you got to love yourself
If you wanna free yourself, you got to forgive yourself
If you wanna free yourself, you got to love yourself
If you wanna free yourself, you got to give, give yourself

You and me we got some food
Let’s share it all let’s not be rude
There’s enough to go around
We harvested it from the ground
Love is patient Love is kind
The love you seek is the love you’ll find
We gotta learn to love eachother
Cuz we’re all different shades of the same color
The sunny sky that makes the flowers grow
Is the same dark sky that brings the snow
We’re all looking at the same stars
They’re gleaming there not near not far
Love is patient Love is kind
The love you seek is the love you’ll find
We gotta learn to love eachother
Cuz we’re all different shades of the same color
whistle solo
Love is patient Love is kind
The love you seek is the love you’ll find
We gotta learn to love eachother
Cuz we’re all different shades of the same color
Yeah we’re all different shades of the same color

Use my skin as a wall to paint your dreams
Then stand back and see what this all means
For now a cloud will guide us through the light of day
Soon the flame will come to tell us why we’ve come this way
Go build a house that will stand on a big stretch of land
With many rooms and many windows to let the sun shine in
Build a fire in your heart, keep the flames burning bright
Then invite me in to the warmth inside and I’ll keep you satisfied
The road was long and wide, it kept you high
Now life is still and low, you’re feeling dry
Enlightened paths have crossed, for every life there’s one lost
Soon the flame will come to tell us why we’ve come this way
Go build a house that will stand on a big stretch of land
With many rooms and many windows to let the sun shine in
Build a fire in your heart, keep the flames burning bright
Then invite me in to the warmth inside and I’ll keep you satisfied
Oh I’ll keep you satisfied ooo

Money Didn't Buy (live)
04:47

This morning I awoke and realized that I was broke
Started feeling like a bloke, but then my mind awoke
It said
Money didn’t buy me love cookies
Money didn’t buy this bed I’m in
Money didn’t buy the rain that falls and waters up my garden
Money didn’t buy this warm sweater It didn’t buy the years that wore it in oh
Money didn’t buy this peace I feel and this love that flows from deep within
This love that flows from deep within
I opened up my cupboard and just as I remembered
There was grains and beans and honey I’m sure will last me till September
Maybe I’ll go down to the market, start busking for my food
I’ll keep on taking it day by day by day and living with gratitude
Money didn’t buy me love cookies
Money didn’t buy this bed I’m in
Money didn’t buy the rain that falls and waters up my garden
Money didn’t buy this warm sweater It didn’t buy the years that wore it in oh
Money didn’t buy this peace I feel and this love that flows from deep within
This love that flows from deep within
Man cannot live on bread alone but on every word that comes from the most high
Woman cannot love on bread alone but on every word that comes from the most high
If you can’t live with gratitude, Money can’t get you out of this mess you’re in
If you can’t live with gratitude my brethren, my sistren
Money can’t get you out of this mess you’re in cuz
Money can’t buy you more time
Money can’t buy this life you’re in
Money can’t buy your family and the words you wish you said to them
Money can’t buy your freedom
Money can’t buy community
Money can’t buy this peace you’ll feel and this love that flows from deep within
