Track Name: The Place To Be
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

Track Name: Ready for you
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
Track Name: I'm Always
::::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

Track Name: 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

Track Name: Grace
::::Grace::::

hold a light out for me family
and tell me what you see
when the
candle goes and the darkness grows
then what will we be?

now you may feel
like you can't take it no more
"baby i wanna explode!"
but i'ma go out like a
brightening star
not like no c4
and you may feel like they been breaking you
more
"then you could ever be broke!"
but your bigger than you so there's no
way too break who you really are
so shine on!
and shine into the spaces in
your space
cuz there's what they can't take, look what they took
now i'm
finding my grace
and i'm finally my gracex4

what are you waiting for
and
why r you holding back?
what are you flaming for?
and where to you colden
at?
what you came here for,
is it more than that,
which you are doing
now?
get up get back!

i'm finally my grace!

i'll pick it up right
here,
don't care who might care,
gotta make it right here,
pick it up it's
light here,
i lied i want the whole world to nod
see the heads bob like a see
of see saws
vibin like a xylophone
in the house and right at home
always
write them lighter songs
better turn you lighters on
i'm a bell boy, in the
ups and downs
always on my way up, just making my rounds in the
groove...

::::Music that Plays You::::
Track Name: Far and Wide
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)
Track Name: Choices of Freedom
::::Choices of freedom::::

choices of freedom
come my way
every moment, of every
day
choices of freedom
come my way
and i'm gonna meet them
with love
today

i got these fools inside my head
i let them lead me but they're
mislead
i want freedom they don't want me to shed
i want truth and they want
comfurt instead
they've been working so hard it makes it hard to live
i'm
beginning to think that they want me dead
good thing those choices of
freedom
come my way
every moment of everyday
choices of freedom
come my
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
sometimes it
feels like everything keeps holding me back
like it don't want me to
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
come my
way
every moment, of every day
choices of freedom
come my way
and i'm gonna
treat them
with love today

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.
