Great Floating World
Love’s second guessing
All that she’s after
Lost in the shuffle
Breaks into laughter
Caught in the heartbreak
Soft on the ever after
Silent
Water
Darkness
Haunts her
Stillness
Becomes her
Love found some answers
Back of the drawer
Lost in the shuffle
Long time before
Left from the days
Gatsby had all but Daisy
Silent
Water
Darkness
Haunts her
Stillness
Becomes her
Silent
Water
Darkness
Haunts her
Stillness becomes her
Stillness becomes her love
Silent
Water
Darkness
Haunts her
Stillness becomes her
Great Floating World
Wrought with disaster
Finds herself missing
All the she’s after
Lost in the shuffle
Gone is the ever after
Silent
Water
Darkness
Haunts her
Stillness
Becomes her
Stillness becomes her Great Floating World
Stillness becomes her Great Floating World
Great Floating World
Stillness becomes her Great Floating World
Stillness becomes her Great Floating World

Time To Find It
Stretching out in front of me
A row of heroes
For as far as I can see
Father, son, brother, husband, lover
You didn’t have to send them
Damn you
But did they need to go?
Gone to save the day
I dunno…
You’re so brave
Shouldn’t we find a better way?
Time to find it
Can’t think of any better day
Time to find it
Before we throw it all away
Shouldn’t we find a better way?
Shouldn’t we find a better way?
Shouldn’t we find a better way?
Time we found it before we throw it all away
Time to find it can’t think of any better day
Time we found it before we throw it all away
Shouldn’t we find a better way?
Shouldn’t we find a better way? - Track Name: Water

WATER
Human blood is 83% water
1 cup of coffee requires 140 liters of water to produce
Ice cubes float because they’re 9% lighter than water
1 cup of coffee
Requires 140 liters of water to produce
Earth’s fresh water animals are disappearing at 5x the rate of land animals
Looks like it’s gonna rain ~
Water regulates the earth’s temperature
Most of the earth is covered in water ~ between 70 & 75%
Water can also be found in the ground and in the air
1 cup of coffee
The water that exists today existed on earth millions of years ago
1 cup of coffee
The amount of water on earth has remained the same for 2 billion years
Roughly 2 billion people on earth lack a safe supply of water – a full quarter of the world’s population
Can I get you a drink of water?
The majority will walk a minimum of three hours every day to collect safe water
1 cup of coffee
Water can also be found in the ground and in the air
Human beings can live a month without food, but only a week without water
But only a week
But only a week without water
Water can also be found in the ground and in the air
1 cup of coffee
Could you turn the water off please? - Track Name: What do you think?

What do you think?
What do you think it’s gonna take
To make this place civil?
What do you think it’s gonna take
To make this place sustainable?
What do you think it’s gonna take
To make this place beautiful?
What do you think it’s gonna take
To make this place unbelievable?
What do you think it’s gonna take
To make this place safe?
What do you think it’s gonna take
To make this place awake?
What do you think it’s gonna take
To make this place green?
What do you think it’s gonna take
To make this place clean?
What do you think it’s gonna take
To make this place safe?
What do you think it’s gonna take
To make this place awake?

The Twisting & Turning
The wide-eyed child surrendering
To moment’s pleasure ~ unweathered
Behold the wisest rendering
Of earthly beauty and whimsy
Yesterday
I questioned the reasons for the day
I picked out the best and pushed the rest away
The harder I tried to get away
The stronger the reasons were for me to stay
The twisting and turning right back in my face is the learning
I trust it’s all meant to be
Fool’s paradise, not for me
~
Behold the wisest rendering
Of earthly beauty and whimsy
Just today
I question the reasons for the day
I pick out the best and push the rest away
the harder I try to get away
The stronger the reasons are for me to stay
The twisting and turning
The gracing and yearning of loving
Is never far from me
Fool’s paradise, not for me
I’m trusting it’s all meant to be
The twisting and turning
The gracing and yearning of hope
The twisting and turning
The gracing and yearning for peace
The twisting and turning
The gracing and yearning of love
The twisting and turning
The gracing and yearning of life - Track Name: Into The Sublime

Into The Sublime
Where do you wanna take it today?
Into the sublime
To a world filled with grace and the promise of better times
Right up to your door
Burning sacred flame fueled by the power
And I’ll whistle for you
As I journey through time
Through the other world, through the night
Great Goddess of Fire
Sing your songs, let your poetry touch me
Flame of knowledge come down, caress me
Here in this space
I’m pondering the mysteries of grace
Lost in this wonder, humanity gets pushed away
I reach for the fire
It fuels my desire for you
And even when it’s quiet
I can’t escape the melody in my head
It flows through the ether
And penetrates my every breath
Reach for the fire
Fuels my desire
And when it’s all said and done?
The sublime
To a world filled with grace and the promise of better times
Right up to your door
Burning sacred flame fueled by the power
And I’ll whistle for you
As I journey through time
Through the other world, through the night
Great Goddess of Fire
Sing your songs, let your poetry touch me
Flame of knowledge come down, caress me
For even when it’s dark
I’ll shine the way for you
And even though we’re tired
I’ll toe the line for you
And even though it’s silent
The melody still comes through
And even though we’re scared
We’re bright like diamonds
Innocent I am
To the point of disbelief
Let sublimity surround me and to dream of world peace
I will dream of you and I will dream for you
Bright like diamonds
Bright like diamonds
Into the sublime
To a world filled with grace and the promise of better times
I will dream for you
Bright like diamonds
I wish you a safe journey - Track Name: The Spirit of The Times

The Spirit of The Times
Stretching to the corners of the world – Solidarity Parade
Along comes a time when we can’t see it any other way
Like the days we wake up forgiving
The time is always right to do what is right
Like the life, just freed from its tether
We’re given – The Spirit of the Times
The Spirit of the Times, We’re given
The Spirit of the Times
The spirit of the place where we all arrive at together
The time is always right to do what is right
Like the love that flows through the ether
We’re given – The Spirit of the Times
A thing of beauty, Solidarity, Community, Civility, Spontaneity, Velocity – We fly
We’re given, we’re given
Like the days we wake up forgiving
The time is always right to do what is right
Like the love that flows through the ether
We’re given
The Spirit of this place where we all arrive at together
The time is always right to do what is right
Like the life, just freed from its tether
We’re given, The Spirit of the Times
The Spirit of the Times, We’re given, The Spirit of the Times
Stretching to the corners of the world – Solidarity Parade
Along comes a time where we can’t see it any other way
We’re given, The Spirit of the Times
We’re given, The Spirit of the Times
The most amazing crystal clear moon tonight
The night’s gift we’re given - Track Name: The Playing Field

The Playing Field
For the future
Life on this side it can only move ahead
And time moves so quickly I fear it not enough
I’ve used all my trials it’s time I took some steps
For the future
Let the elephant protect you
Bring you good fortune
And what do we bring to the patient elephant?
Save the forest, the seas and what’s between you and me
For the future
Level the playing field
And march toward the future
Let’s think of the future
Let’s think of the future
Let’s think of the future
The future
For the future
Level the playing field
As we march toward the future
Let’s level the playing field
And march toward the future
Let’s take care of Planet Earth
Let’s think of the future
Let’s think of the future
Let’s think of the future
The future - Track Name: Planeta Terra

Planeta Terra
Planeta Terra – Planeta Terra
Planet Earth – Planet Earth
I see waterways clean
& the rain forests safe
I see the whole human race
Drugged by earth’s embrace
And I think to myself
Such a Wonderful World
I see an end to war
And a wash of love
I see its glorious rays spread through
bright nights above
And I think to myself
Such a Wonderful World
The colours on the palette
Grow richer by the day
Barriers between us
Like fog, just lift away
Can you see it?
I see hope on the faces of those long overdue
Sense a feeling of promise for me and for you
Can we get there?
I know we can
You know we can
We’ll fly much higher if everyone goes
And I think to myself
Such a Wonderful World
And I think to myself
Such a wonderful
Such a wonderful world
I see hope on the faces of those long overdue
Sense a feeling of promise for me and for you
Can we get there?
I know we can
You know we can
We’ll fly much higher if everyone goes
Such a Wonderful World
Such a Wonderful World
Planeta Terra – Planeta Terra
Planet Earth – Planet Earth
