The Place To Be
03:55

The place to be
now you might second guess your 1st guess
you might miss your intuition
building complex after complex it just gets to hard to listen
you might go into the ocean
you might go into the woods
you might seek to understand
you might seek to be understood
you might wish you had the answers
you might think that there are none
you might wish that you could take back all the things that have been done
you might laugh, you might cry, you might
learn not to feel
you might learn to think your happiness couldn't be real
and you might be blocking blocking blocking the medicine you are
but no no matter where you're walking you are never too far
and there's no might about it
you are mighty soon we'll see
cuz no matter where you are well,
that's the place to be
the place to be x2
cuz no matter where you are see
you're the place to be
come and fall up through the ceiling and then dive into the skies
and reach for your farthest closeness
ride the wind as it arrive
spread your wings on top of healing
let the feeling of alive
come and fill your every moment
and go as deep as you go high
say i'm alive
i can feel the life that's living me and don't need to try
say i'm alive
i am the life that's living me
and i can't even die
and there's no might about it i am mighty soon we'll see
cuz no matter where i am well, that's the place to be
the place to be x2
cuz no matter where you are see
you're the place to be
and you might be the perfect present for wherever you are now
you might give them what they need even while you wonder how
you might carry deep inside you all the love that's ever lived
and you might give us you and you us and then you'd get all you can give
and you might open up and see this world as magical again
you might find love and then in love you might make yourself a friend
and there's no might about it we are mighty soon we'll see
cuz no matter where we are well, that's the place to be
the place to be x2
cuz no matter where you are see
you're the place to be

Ready for you
05:01
|

I’m getting ready
ready for you
so that I’m ready
when you’re ready too
I spent most of my life
to scared to really care (playing it cool)
running from here
on my way there (same ole fool)
I spent most of my life
missing you
but now I see that what I’ve been praying for
is always coming true
I’m getting ready
ready for you
so that I’m ready
when you’re ready too
ever since the jump off
the bang and the boom
we’ve been on our way
to me and you
and now we’re here in the dark
missing the moon
the flame in your eyes
dances to the tune
I’m getting ready
ready for you
so that I’m ready
when you’re ready too
it took my father when I was too young to understand
now when I close my eyes
he holds my hand
it’s coming back for me someday
and when it comes I’ll wave and say
I loved you hard
I know you knew
because we mostly kept it true
we changed each other I’m a part of you
I’ll catch you in a rhyme
in another lifetime
I’ll send you a sign
I’m getting ready
ready for you
so that I’m ready
when you’re ready too

::::I'm Always::::
I’m always tryna save you for later
not like a savior, just want to savor
flavors and favorites
but life’s no picnic when we blanket it
I’m always tryna make it mine
till I run on out of time
I was to scared to let it shine
always tryna make it mine
(space w guitar beg/end)
I’m a collector, flower to flower for nectar
tryna protect the good that I get
I wanna be one of your favorites
wanna be free don’t wanna pay for it
I’m always tryna make it mine
till I run on out of time
I was to scared to let it shine
always tryna make it mine
I’m reaching out to take my time
need some queit for my mind
I live these back up plans of mine
I think it’s time I’m out of line
I wanna fly away and go
to those places that we know
when we’re not to scared to
live out loud I want the truth
I’m always tryna make it mine
till I run on out of time
I was to scared to let it shine
always tryna make it mine
and it’s all mine, and it’s all me
and it’s all I am
and it’s all we
and it’s always calling
and I’m always too busy
but it’s all I am and it’s all we
and it’s always so we all must be
I’m always tryna make it mine
till I run on out of time
I’m not too scared to let it shine
I’m gone run on out of time
I’m always tryna make it mine
till I run on out of time
I’m not too scared to let it shine
just always tryna make it mine

With our Wool

::::With Our Wool::::
with our wool, turned to clothes
wandering sheep, looking for home
shivering cold, pull over our eyes and off the rack
I’m gonna grow my wool back
Shepard guide me,
R u this star I’m looking at
R u inside me
silent and black
I feel your pull, turned and grown
squandering’s cheap, everything I own
I am given in whole, with great surprise I am given back
I’m gonna grow my soul back
and let it guide me
R u this star I’m looking at
R u inside me
starry and black
with our wool, turned to clothes
wandering sheep, looking for home
shivering cold, pull over our eyes and off the rack
I’m gonna grow my wool back
and I’ma let u guide me,
I know who I’m looking at
you’re inside me
vibrant and black
humming
rest now child
and wake now darling
be your best now child
it’s safe and I know you’ve been starving
my neck sings me nectar salve
my heart cries me tears
to wash my eyes of what they’ve seen
and keep me seeing clear
rest now child
and wake now darling
be your best now child
it’s safe and I know you’ve been starving

Far and Wide
05:03
|
|||
I just can’t rest or settle down
settle for less or get around
these walls that want my safety
all these incases incase me
I don’t want boxes anymore
no more weight cause I’m ready to soar
and I’m so sore and I’m so stretched
just yearning to feel more of your blessings
and I’ve been searching, searching, searching
far and wide
for something, something, something
that’s already inside
(x2)
flail or sail
win or fail
I just can’t seem to keep out of this cell
been locked in knots and long forgotten
frozen parts of me from back when I felt rotten
then I compost and throw in a seed
and soon the flower’s blooming
and your picking fruits with me
pay the safe way or I garden for free
became a gardener realized the garden was me
and I’ve been searching, searching, searching
far and wide
for something, something, something
that’s already inside
(x2)
I say I’m home sick
and I’ve been discouraged
been knocking at your door to hear a distant scurry
we’ve got different maps
but the same destination
my destiny’s a sky dance
in the elevation
I’ve been a caged bird
singing caged bird songs
just to find out the door was open all along
unclip my wings
tag my stunted flight
but I never left the sky and I don’t think I might
cause
I’ve been searching, searching, searching
far and wide
for something, something, something
that’s already inside
(x2)

::::Choices of freedom::::
choices of freedom
come my way
every moment, of every
day

way
and i'm gonna leave them with love today
i followed fear for so
long
without knowing
i thought that i was being strong
and got scared of
growing
but i've been chosen to make these choices
i listen closely to hear
what's true
i've been chosen to make these choices
i give them voices and
sing em to you
all these choices, choices, choices yeah
i got choices,
choices, choices yeah
somebody said it's wi-i-i-eyes to ask your why's why's
why
somebody said it's wi-i-i-eyes to let your lie's lies lie

change
and i ain't havin' that
sometimes it feels like everything
keeps
pullin me forward, haven't i showed ya with them
choices of freedom

Music introduces us to our emotions, our minds, ourselves, others
and our world. It travels us back in time, reminds us of something we want to
remember, resuscitates what we need to hold onto, releases us into harmony, and
helps us prepare the future. Whether or not we call it this, most of us have a
spiritual relationship with music.
