Find You In It by Millagram Crawled into bed after a night of dancing Stoned and tired from consciousness enhancing smoking trees cold breeze early evening encounters Rocking out on the couch and on kitchen counters Thought I heard the snooze button 7 am Woke up two hours later just in time for my exam But in my dream that morning I’m afraid to admit I’d slipped into a dream and I found you in it I open up my heart (I find you in it) I slip into a dream (I find you in it) Keep waiting for the time we reconnect for a minute Life and Music, I want you in it X2 Yeah, yeah So come here for a minute Come here for a minute Now I don’t know boy what you got going on You might have other lovers you’ve been spending time on Maybe one of them is beautiful, maybe one’s your boys Maybe one of them is turning the dials on your toys I just want you to know that you are my muse Pure love inspiration I intend to use Cuz in this life though we’re afraid to admit it Is Love and Music I hope I find you in it

Different Shades by Millagram 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 gleeming there not near 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

Bad by Millagram What would happen if you stayed here baby What would happen if you spent the night with me, me X2 What would happen if you stayed here baby What would happen if you spent the night with me Would your wife get mad would your kids get sad What about your momma would they think you’re being bad X2 Trying to figure out the unknown Finally loving my time alone When I see you I just want to hold you But we gotta plan our time alone Feel like spending more time with you baby But I’m still loving my time alone So I can write poems for you honey Bout when we have our time alone (time alone) Bout when we have our time alone, alone What would happen if you stayed here baby What would happen if you spent the night with me, me What would happen if you stayed here baby What would happen if you spent the night with me Would your wife get mad would your kids get sad What about your momma would they think you’re being bad X2

Boogie On 03:09

Boogie On by Millagram I got rain drops in my coffee and I’m drinking it black I’m thinkin’ about my account I’m waiting for my stack Me, my dog, my cigarette are soaking in this storm I’m just grateful, so grateful to be relatively warm Supposed to be going out but I’d rather stay at home Supposed to be doin’ work but I’d rather write a poem This water dragon came to me and got me in this groove Tryin’ to figure out how to stay put and still be on the move And just boogie on, boogie on Like there’s nothin’ wrong there’s nothin’ wrong With feelin’ things, singin’ songs There’s nothin’ wrong this can’t be wrong Vainly reciting all the words I want to hear from you Imagining the things I’m thinking are the things you’re thinking too The suspense it kills me but suspense is what I like Like drivin’ with the gas light on or in traffic with my bike I might just be using you but i know that you’re using me Something that I need from you, something that you need from me We both got a harbour full of water under this bridge I don’t claim not to be vexed, let’s just call it what it is And just boogie on, boogie on Like there’s nothin’ wrong there’s nothin’ wrong With feelin’ things, singin’ songs There’s nothin’ wrong this can’t be wrong I don’t get fake tans I’m not being someone I’m not I love me for me and you for you and it seems to mean a lot I started up at college at the age of twenty four But barista, baker, farmer, lover, the things I did before I changed my employment status to super-hero girl Now just watch me, just watch me go out and change the world Even if that means just one man not beating his wife Maybe one woman, one woman will be free to live her life And just boogie on, boogie on Like there’s nothin’ wrong there’s nothin’ wrong With feelin’ things, singin’ songs There’s nothin’ wrong this can’t be wrong x2

Money Didn't Buy by Millagram 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

Think And Never Say 03:16
lyrics

Think and Never Say by Millagram These days I’m alone only once in a while But my mind just starts drifting like ink through textile When I am cuz my brain these days is a vast expanse of water And my heart is oozing out like clay through the hands of a potter Is this shaping me or raping me? sometimes the lines get blurred Like everytime you say a word that I have never heard And my heart hears the words that you will never say Cuz your heart is built that way, to think things it’ll never say And your mind is built to reason things to get them out of the way But surely there is a price to pay To think and never say I’m not begging you to stay but I’m not asking you to leave Even if the space between us is allowing us to breathe When you leave, when you leave and the day will surely come Set your eyes, set your eyes upon the setting sun And gaze at the world with the same eyes that I saw With wonderous expectation, defying earthly law And my heart will be here oozing turning sorrows into song Cuz my heart is built that way, to think things it’ll never say And my mind is built to reason things to get them out of the way But surely there is a price to pay To think and never say

Strawberry Soap by Lynda Koile I’ll pick my flowers in meadows of loving I’ll plant my seeds in my child I’ll gather up clouds into great fluffy bundles I’ll trade them in for a smile I’ll wash my face in my strawberry soap I’ll smooth my feet on the sand I’ll cool my skin in the wind and the rain and I’ll get my joy from the land I’ll thank the world for it’s lessons in living But I’ll be what I have to be I’ll say goodbye to the prison of plenty I’ll say hello to a tree I’ll wash my face in my strawberry soap I’ll smooth my feet on the sand I’ll cool my skin in the wind and the rain and I’ll get my joy from the land I’ll open my door to a friend or a stranger I’ll pour out my soul in my song I’ll spend my days with the living and dying But I’ll still know where I belong I’ll wash my face in my strawberry soap I’ll smooth my feet on the sand I’ll cool my skin in the wind and the rain and I’ll get my joy from the land

End The Violence 03:50
lyrics

End The Violence by Millagram When we first met you were so sweet and kind to me Before God and man you vowed to love and protect me Then angry words caused violent reactions
In breaking my spirit you seemed to find satisfaction Then one day I came to this conclusion The life you created for me was an illusion
You only wanted to make me a slave
And make me believe that it’s my life you saved 
This is the end of your violence Not gonna sit in silence
This is the end of your violence Not gonna sit in silence You took my dreams and you dangled them in front of me You kept me indebted to you so I’ll never be free
You took the land that our mother passed down to us And then you rape it, how could you be so careless? Manipulation was the tool you found Controlling our eyes so we look to the ground But I’m ready to take my head out of the sand For human rights and equality I’ll stand 
This is the end of your violence Not gonna sit in silence
This is the end of your violence Not gonna sit in silence I won’t be your, I won’t be your slave I won’t be your, I won’t be your slave I won’t be your, I won’t be your slave I won’t be your, I won’t be your slave 
This is the end of your violence Not gonna sit in silence
This is the end of your violence Not gonna sit in silence

Pay My Bail by Millagram Heading downtown to meet up with this guy I met at the club on Saturday night On the dance floor I tell ya he was alright The way he wine on me it was out of sight He asked to take me home right then and there But at the shackles on my feet I began to stare I said it seems to me that you are unaware So listen to me now if you really do care CH
Another man has got me locked up in jail No matter how much I weep and I wail I sit and wait for his other love to grow stale I need someone to pay my bail I need someone to pay my bail Came into my work around lunch time Stroke up a conversation that was on the dime I had to admit I had a weakness for his kind The way he looked at me yeah it made me feel fine He asked to take me home right then and there But at the shackles on my feet I began to stare I said it seems to me that you are unaware So listen to me now if you really do care CH
Another man has got me locked up in jail No matter how much I weep and I wail I sit and wait for his other love to grow stale I need someone to pay my bail I need someone to pay my bail

My Origin 03:55
lyrics

My Origin by Millagram Standing in the midst of so much ignorant thought Searching for the truth amidst the lies that we bought About who we are and where we come from Like a tree in the field reaching toward the sun Could we ever stand as tall as one of these? Could we ever move and heave as the wind weaves? Could we ever make a better home for the birds and bees? Nothing but the trees, nothing but the trees Feel the sap from the roots rising with the moon Sweet gifts from the ancestors I’ve never know My origin, my origin X2 I wanted to believe your words of prophecy I wanted someone to see the things that I couldn’t see But how am I to believe, it’s the same book that we read Exactly where I am right now is where I’m supposed to be True religion is to feed the poor It’s to offer up a helpless stranger an open door There is no answer, the answer is you Everyone is doing what they were created to do Could we ever stand as tall as one of these? Could we ever move and heave as the wind weaves? Could we ever make a better home for the birds and bees? Nothing but the trees, nothing but the trees Feel the sap from the roots rising with the moon Sweet gifts from the ancestors I’ve never know My origin, my origin X2
