Fly
Fly to me
On the wings of your mind
The wings of your mind
Open up your mind and spread your wings
Free
From your ties
The ties that bind you to your work
And bind you to the earth
And bind you to all these problems
This world is a project this world is a projection
You’re projecting
This world is a project this world is a projection
We are all projecting
Open
Open your ears
To the sounds of the universe
The verses of the universe
And every other universe
Close
Close your eyes
Only look within
Only look within
Or look outside the outside
This world is a project this world is a projection
You’re projecting
This world is a project this world is a projection
We are all projecting
Dry
Dry your tears
Everything you need is here
All you need is here
Every little thing you need is here
This world is a project this world is a projection
You’re projecting
This world is a project this world is a projection
We are all projecting - Track Name: Everything, Forever
-
Chasing Strings to what ends?
Each thought extends beyond our scope to see
Just like light speed: can’t reach or exceed
‘What there is’ is only what’s inside the frame
Can the painting see the painter?
Or recognize his name?
Watch our own palette building
Expanding day by day
Till the point when we can fill our
Own little picture frame with life
Trace back, back track
Can’t escape through the basement
Building burning down in vacuum without sound
What is there to do? What else can we do but jump?
Someday you will find your efforts were in vain and
All your money spent has only bought you pain
Every person that you laughed at now is crying
All the people that you used to say were lying
Truly had the answer really held the key
To saving all existence every conscious being
Could live here then and now or there and when and
In between the bridge of life that keeps us all from seeing
Everything forever every place at any time - Track Name: Song For The Sun
-
They named you for the sun
Could they have found a more apt description?
I thought that there’d be rain this year
But your smile pushed away the storm
The first look in your eyes was blinding
But then I found it harder to look away
The more that I’m around you
Now I find I don’t want the sun to go away
Soleil, Soleil
The day has passed and now the night must come
But I know you’ll be there tomorrow
Until then I can dream of you
And all the light that you have brought my way
Soleil, Soleil - Track Name: Time Heals All Wounds
-
I ain’t got nobody here to save me
But don’t think that I’m complaining
I’m just saying that nobodies got anyone here at all
Who can save them from their grief
Or give them any relief from all their pain
The sadness comes and goes in me
I mean to say it comes and goes in you
And ain’t it true nobody can save you from yourself
But you and you alone know
How to mend those broken bones
Inside your mind
It just takes time
Don’t go and cry on somebody else’s shoulder
They’ve got their own sorrows to bear
Maybe when you were young
But not now that you’re older
How many of them do you think would really care?
If life’s a road I’m doomed to travel it alone
Though I might hitchhike along the way
And lovers come and go
And tell me how they’d like to share their load with me
But I can’t be that man for them
I can only be their friend and tell them
That they’re on their own
I ain’t got nobody here to save me
But then again neither do you
Not your closest friend or lover can begin to comprehend
The deepest thoughts within the trenches of your mind
No one knows how to mend those bones
It just takes time. - Track Name: Eyes Of A Dreamer
-
It’s all in the eyes of the dreamer
It’s all in the eyes of the man
It’s all the things that you’ve done in life
And all the things that you’ve planned
Can the world be as sad as it seems?
Where are man’s hopes?
Where are man’s dreams?
In the eyes of the dreamer
They’re in the eyes of the man
All the songs have been sung
And all the saints have been hung
The wars and cries have all been wailed
And all the people have been jailed
The world it’s yours my friend
It’s yours to begin or to end
In the eyes of the dreamer
It’s in the eyes of the man
Take nothing from nothing brother
And it’s all just the same
For the loser is the winner
And there ain’t no gain
Just the end of the game
The moment is ever constant in the mind
Everywhere I look, the blind lead the blind
Here’s your chance to step out of time
There a in’t no reason and there ain’t no rhyme
Cause the trouble you bring is the trouble you bring
And a thing is a thing is a thing just a thing
In the eyes of the dreamer
It’s in the eyes of the man
It’s all in the eyes of the dreamer
It’s all in the eyes of the man
It’s all the things that you’ve done in life
And all of those things that you’ve got planned
Can the world be as sad as it seems?
Where are man’s hopes?
Where are man’s dreams?
They’re in the eyes of the dreamer
They’re in the eyes of the man
And you are the man - Track Name: Course Of Conversation
-
What are your friends other than
Just some people you’ve known?
There’s all this weight on history
But what the hell has it shown?
What are these words that we share?
Why do they mean so much to me?
All these anecdotes and jokes,
Stories told won’t set me free.
They want a face that looks and sounds sincere,
A mouth that talks (at times) and ears that hear.
With all the factors met and out of the way,
“How ‘bout the weather, man?” and “How was your day?”
I hear your voice it’s got that tone
Selling me ‘you’re my best friend’
I ain’t buying nothin’ no
There ain’t no time now to pretend.
I wouldn’t mind if you spoke to me
With me too in mind
But these monologues you spin
Just reveal how truly blind you are
You just want me to humor you
Ask you questions while we eat our food
But it’s the same thing it’s all been said
Good conversations have all been bled. - Track Name: We Are Who We Are
-
We’re each born into this world
With a blueprint in our minds
That tells us who we’re gonna be
From now until the end of our time
But each day brings with it change
And a brand new set of rules
And we have to redraw every page
Of the blueprints that we knew
And I don’t have to tell you
How strange it can be to look back
On the not yet shapen ball of clay
That you were back in your past
Because we are who are
And we’ll be who we’ll be
And we’ve got to learn to accept ourselves
Eventually
And we are who we are
And we’ll be who we’ll be
And we’ve got to learn to love ourselves
Eventually
The only person that you’ll know forever
Is the one inside your head
So instead of always thinkin’ thoughts of hate and fear
Why don’t you learn to be your friend
Forget the dead you’ve left behind
And forget the dreams that passed
Cause what’s done is done and what’s to come is coming
And it’s time to live at last
And we always try to fool ourselves
Into thinking things won’t change
But that’s the way of life
And we’re a part of it
And do to this I do proclaim
That we are who are
And we’ll be who we’ll be
And we’ve got to learn to accept ourselves
Eventually
And we are who we are
And we’ll be who we’ll be
And we’ve got to learn to love ourselves
Eventually - Track Name: Together (As Friends Or As Lovers)
-
We always think: “We’re more mature than that.”
“This time won’t be like the others.”
Then when it’s time for us to get back
We always seem to have a setback or two
Why do we always feel compelled to return to this state
That we’ve been in before many a time?
Are our lives really that much better when we’re together?
Is it really worth the pain we put ourselves through?
Or da da da da da da da…
In my heart I’ll always hold you as a closest friend
Who I will be always be for up until the end
And I know that this probably sounds cliché
But like so many other things what else can I say
But da da da da da da da… - Track Name: In Good Time
-
I don’t know why
Or how we got this way
Just forget the things I said
Cause today’s a brand new day
Months move by slow
Autumn winds blow through the chimes
How can a second spent without you
Feel to me like a lifetime
I’ll be with you
In good time
No tongue can tell
How we’ll fare this year through
If so much can change in hours and days
Who’s to say if I’ll know you?
But I’ll brave what comes
Though I’m sure we’ll stretch the ties
That forever stay connected to you
That are anchored in your eyes
We’ll see things through
In good time
I hope you hear this song
And that wherever you are
Know that I am always singing it for you
From the cliffs of this cold shore
And if you ever want to come
I’ll send a quarter note your way
You can ride it here and stay for a while
Or just visit for the day
In time we’ll see
Our hearts set free
And you won’t need me
In good time - Track Name: Living Projected
-
Through your eyes what you see
Is it the same as what I see to me
With these hands I can feel
Feel at least what I can perceive as real
Through my eyes what I see
Is it the way that I want it to be
Or does it seem
That someone’s shaping this world into being
Jesus created a vision of living
For all of his people to see
A looking glass eye to be worn all the time
That only works if you believe
Just as a teacher
Creates the world of the young
So do the prominent figures of history
Paint us a lie with their tongues
And it’s in this way that Mohammed and Lennon and Hitler and Marx
Transcended the paths they had chosen and made projected living an art
If nothing is real then nothing is real
It’s as real as real can be
Even if it’s just a projection
I’m still projecting a you and a me
Yes it is true we’re just subsets of something
That’s so vast we can’t comprehend
But in the minutes I spend here projected
I’d like to hold you in my hands
