Brink of Things
When I’m feeling on the brink of things
And I’m starting to think about things
And if I’m acting a little insane
It’s simply cuz’ I was waiting to be saved
Chorus:
I start to think, why do people think
That this day ain’t anything.
My mind’s confused, my senses blown, my thoughts flown into Spring.
I look back to where I’ve been, can’t see where I’m gonna go
Doesn’t really matter, then again
What do I know?
Do, do, do, do ,do, do……
I’ve been there, once or twice
Oh, no, no, no, no
Maybe three times
When I’m feeling on the brink of things
And I’ve gotta gotta let loose of things
And I’ve lost my direction and I’m afraid
It’s simply cuz’ I was waiting to be saved
Chorus:
I start to think, why do people think
That this day ain’t anything.
My mind’s confused, my senses blown, my thoughts flown into Spring.
I look back to where I’ve been, can’t see where I’m gonna go
Doesn’t really matter, then again
What do I know?
Do, do, do, do ,do, do……
I’ve been there, once or twice
Oh, no, no, no, no
Maybe three times
Maybe three times
Maybe three times

EVOLUTIONARY
This is only the beginning, this is only the beginning.
Only the beginning gonna’ wake up, gonna’ wake up one day.
Only the beginning gonna’ wake up, gonna’ wake up on the way.

Oh and mother nature knows
we’ve got to get back to the soul
It’s Evolutionary.
Circle on, come around, follow it, come on hurry.
Circle on, come around, follow it, come on hurry.
Come along, follow it, feel it come alive with me.
Come along, follow it, feel it, come alive with me.
Oh and mother nature knows
we’ve got to get back to the soul
It’s Evolutionary.
This is only the beginning....

MAD CRAZY MAD
ride the ocean on a silver plate on the shore waits my daddy in grey
my mommas watching the evening news as she sits under an
oak tree in the middle of june and its so so strange the way
in dreams nothing ever stays the same and I follow the people
as they lead the way
madcrazy madcrazy madcrazy mad
rescue me from the world that's spinning round and round and
round the book I read said the sky is green what's up with that
said the man in the ten-gallon hat as he drives a tractor thru the
urban streets and he takes the key to the door to the forest full of trees
waiting wanting wishing wanting only me never wonder never
doubt never disbelieve
madcrazymadcrazymadcrazymad
rescue me from the dark that scares me in my sleep
we'll just call that reality only comfort that I know is that I can wake
when they are hungry and take some fear from the dreamer that's
lost in light years takes from her pocket a marvelous thing the
clock strikes six and I'm ever-wondering

Among the Spirit World

Among the Spirit world
Like a ghost, I am invisible
an apparition....
with knowing eyes and a vibrant soul.
but today I am alone.
Simply observing, traveling through dimensions
and ignoring the clock.
Within love, I am mad
wearing white, I silently tiptoe through these halls
with my fellow observers of life.
I AM ALIVE.
I create my own freedom, coinciding with my identity.
I create my own world, and it seems to me that I am alone today,
Maybe its best to be alone.
to remain silent, though I am desperate for a voice.
Constantly seeking, constantly changing, and making my reality.
BUT THERES DAYS
like today
when everything I thought was true and real,
spins and whorls out of control,
leaves a ghostly haze upon my soul,
then scatters to a hundred-billion pieces.
Among the spirit world, nothing seems tangible
though the light illuminates my being.
IN THE SHADOWS
it seems far, far away,
but the road is golden,
paved by those who have traveled that way,
those who have walked the great distance........and cried many tears.
FOR THE JOURNEY
I know..........seems long and dreadful,
but each moment filled with the wonder of life.
My passion is strong, but today
my vision is weak.
so I glide knowing that above the surface of the waves,
I will return safely to shore
eventually.

Caught a Window
In through the outside, crossing worlds to just walk by.
Waiting it out, while the deal is done, will it ever end?
Like clouds rolling in, my head trys to spin, my feet on the ground,
my breathe like the air, they cannot see me, am I really anywhere?
I think it’s time to be leaving.
None of this really happened
none of it is true
I stand here as an observer, while life works its way through.
Only minutes have past, and the ritual ends
and a doorway opens, and the waves roll in, the train leaves the station
as quickly as it came in. I think its time to be taking this opportunity.
I think it’s time to be leaving.
None of what I say matters
None of it is true
Unless you choose to give these words meaning
but you’re gonna have to find your own truth.
You’re gonna find it
You’re gonna find it
find it
find it

CHANGE HAPPENS
Change...it happens
like life.
What is happening to you, are you creating,
do you have a focus to put your passion into?
What is it?
Do you know, and just can’t say?
You are human, like everybody.
chorus:
A notion of motion,
drift effortlessly within.
I dream of an ocean,
made it out of the whirlwind.
And the air is warm, it’s the season of green.
Heartstrings are long now,
and the soul can be seen.
Change....it happens,
like life.
You have made me in your image,
now here you are within my eyes.
It’s for dreams, and hopes, and wishes,
why do I wanna get in?
I can bring something to it,
all I’ve got to do is sit and spin.
chorus:
A notion of emotion,
flowing effortlessly.
I dream of a lifetime,
where we can be everything.
And the air is warm,
it’s the season of green.
Heartstrings are long now,
and the soul can be seen.
bridge
All in all it’s said and done,
every moment is the same,
time holds no boundaries.
We can finally drift away,
whatever you suppose it to be,
it really is...truly.
And the winds of change blow freely,
I can feel you near me, I can feel you near me.
Change happens
Change happens
Change........it happens.

Tell Me What You've Heard
Today, I am not afraid to be stung, to be hurt Pain is an emotional teacher, and if it is knowledge we seek
then why are we afraid to experience everything?
For in experience we may truly know,
this is the best teacher....LIFE.
In living we will become aware,
in awareness we, as persons will find that these glass houses
in which we live, are those walls that have been built.
Break the glass? NO.......why, when there is a door?
but now the door is locked from the outside,
and the world is strolling by and we are calling,
"hey somebody let me out!"
but out there the world is the same, and in here our reality is changing,
so we give up, and we grow hungry and tired, and we starve,
and we wither away.
Once upon a time I awoke to find myself
torn and tattered.........but I could see until the ends of the earth.
and I stood and looked upon a whole new world,
a place of possibility where so much more could be done by
everyone.
and I turned to see the glass was now a mirror and there was me.
and I looked into my own eyes, and saw that which is truly me.
and I ran.... towards the image, towards the glass
shattering,
I fell to the other side
into the world
unlocked
FREE.
With the scars of my imprisonment, I stepped into life,
and now I am ready, and I am ecstatic.
