May these hands serve the lands
that once were trodden
May these hands sow the seeds
where healing can grow
May these hands serve the lands
that once were trodden
May we work together
to bring hope

The Earth Teaches
05:03
|
|||
|
Like the trees
I'll dance in the wind, I'll grow in the rain, I'll offer my shade
Like the mountain
I'll always stand strong, and should the earth tremble I'll grow taller with it all
Like the clouds
I'll flow through the sky, and with each passing moment I'll let it go by
Like the water
I'll always offer life, and I'll act as a reflection of the beauty in your eyes
This is what the earth teaches me

I Thank You

We’d be nothing if it wasn’t for our fathers, I thank you
We’d be nothing if it wasn’t for our mothers, I thank you
We’d be nothing if it wasn’t for our brothers, I thank you
We’d be nothing if it wasn’t for our sisters, I thank you
So I,
Let my hair down, get it all out,
listen to the sound of the whole world spinning
I tune into you
Let my hair down, get it all out,
Listen to the sound of everyone singing
I am what I am because of you
And I’ll surrender to the sound that channels through
We’d be nothing if it wasn’t for our neighbours, I thank you
We’d be nothing if it wasn’t for our teachers, I thank you
We’d be nothing if it wasn’t for our anchors, I thank you
We’d be nothing if it wasn’t for our ancestors, I thank you
So I,
Let my hair down, get it all out,
listen to the sound of the whole world spinning
I tune into you
Let my hair down, get it all out,
Listen to the sound of everyone singing
I am what I am because of you
And I’ll surrender to the sound that channels through
We’d be nothing if it wasn’t for these mountains, I thank you
We’d be nothing if it wasn’t for these oceans, I thank you
We’d be nothing if it wasn’t for these forests, I thank you
We’d be nothing if it wasn’t for this harvest, I thank you
I am humbled by the sun that warms us
I am humbled by the love surrounding us
So no matter what I think I lack,
Whatever I can offer back,
It’s yours
So I,
Let my hair down, get it all out,
listen to the sound of the whole world spinning
I tune into you
Let my hair down, get it all out,
Listen to the sound of everyone singing
I am what I am because of you
And I’ll surrender to the sound that channels through

Feel The Sun
04:00
|
|||
|
Come and feel the sun
Shining, guiding you
Healing everyone
Can you feel it too?
Stand out in its rays
Heat caressing you
Even on dark days
She is here for you
It won't last a lifetime
So remember this feeling
Now is the right time
To start believing

We all come from the Goddess
And to her we shall return
Like a drop of rain
Flowing to the ocean
I thank our mother for this life
I thank the earth for the beauty I'm surrounded by
I thank our mother for this life
I thank the earth for the bounty of our harvest
We all come from the Goddess
And to her we shall return
Like a drop of rain
Flowing to the ocean
I thank every single form of life
It's thanks to them that the rest of us can thrive
I thank every single form of life
We're all connected, that's the reason we survive
We all come from the Goddess
And to her we shall return
Like a drop of rain
Flowing to the ocean

Cardinal Calling
03:32
|
|||
|
When I hear the song of the cardinal calling
by the mountainside I know
that I’m welcome here with the cardinal calling
but this land is not my own
I give my thanks to the cardinal calling
for sharing this space so kind
And I ask for forgiveness from the cardinal calling
for acting with ignorance blind

Beaten Path
04:12
|
|||
|
When you find a new path not yet trodden through
It's too difficult to cut through, the thorns will break you
And scared of the unknown it's too hard to fight
We don't know what's in there let us hide behind
Statistics not empathy
Men making men machines
That path needs beating and beating again
Til the bruises the pain they become a way to make killers of men
'Cause we creatures of habit, repetition is ease
Keep feeding us bullshit and we'll soon believe in
Statistics not empathy
Men making men machines
Oh how much war do we need
Before we will bleed out
If we don't figure this out
We're gonna ruin it for ourselves
And it seems safer to stick to what we know to be true
But if they're clever enough they can use all that stuff to break you
With subtle hints that something's not right
Develop it slowly in long stretches of time
And we'll believe that nothing's even changed
Yeah we'll let ourselves believe nothing's even changed
And how do we get ourselves out of this trend
When that path's been beaten and beaten again?
'Cause we creatures of habit, repetition is ease
Keep feeding us bullshit and we'll soon believe in
Statistics not empathy
Men making men machines
Oh how much war do we need
Before we will bleed out
If we don't figure this out
We're gonna ruin it for ourselves

Common Sense
03:46
|

|
I've got nothing to say that will change the way that your mind works
I've got nothing to say that will change the way that this world turns
But I can hope that we will see that damage we have done
And I can hope that it won't be too late to turn and run
Oh, cause that's what we do best that's what we do best
Are we living in the twenty first century?
Cause it feels more like we're standing in a cemetery
Waiting to die by the hands of another man of our own kind.
What are we doing to ourselves?
We've got it better than anybody else so why
Do we have to divide and find reasons why we can torture our own kind?
I just hope that we will see the damage we have done
And I just hope that it won't be too late to turn and run
Oh, cause that's what we do best that's what we do best
I don't wanna see what's on the television
Cause all it's doing is filling me with reasons why
I should despise every man that's standing on the other side
And I don't like it cause it's making me angry
And if it's doing that to me, who else is it filling with hate?
In the wrong hands that could become a very bad plan
But I can hope that we will see that damage we have done
And I can hope that it won't be too late to turn and run
Oh, cause that's what we do best that's what we do best
Call me naive but the key to survival is surely to befriend your rivals
And eliminate the need to stand guard of your enemies
And my first instinct was to run away from this
But I have to stay if I want to make it
We need people by our side if we wanna survive the threat of this life
And that's because...
It works better together it's just common sense
We work better together so can we make amends

Share Peace
04:16
|
|||
|
Where I walk, let me share peace
Where I stand, I'll do so with dignity
Wherever I go, I vow to let the only seeds I sow
Be the ones that let us all be free
Where I walk, let me share love
Where I stand, I'll never stand above
Wherever I go, I vow to let the only seeds I sow
Be the ones that are good for all of us

These Hills Remember
04:14
|
|||
|
These hills remember
The actions of our elders
But will we choose to follow
The path they've left behind?
Be still, listen well
Be here, and you'll know well
Shed those fears, shed that hard skin
Release those tears, and let her in
These hills remember
The actions of our elders
But will we choose to follow
The path they've left behind?
