Sick of the Tame (lyrics)




sick of the tame


sick of the tame,
sick of the same

when you gonna say just how you feel?

sure time may be waiting,
but you’re the one left anticipating,
you’re the one left to figure out
where is this doubt coming from?

sick of the tame,
sick of the same

when’m i gonna say just how i feel?

sure time may be waiting,
but i’m the one left anticipating,
i’m the one left to figure out
i’m the one left to figure out.

It's Just A Thought (A Father's Love) lyrics



it’s just a thought (a father’s love)
composition reissue

when i recall,
how leaves of green,
seemed old and dying,
there’s a sadness,
and a gladness,
that this perspective was reflective of changes that needed to be.
at times i’m sorry, but never of me.

when skies were grey,
my mother’d say “God is a father’s love.
While you’re waiting, still debating,
there is a star above, of so much love,
a father’s love to me.

And while you’re turning and twisting
in this world,
while you’re struggling with what you believe
there is a power whose knowing,
whose love’s evergrowing,
that’s waiting for you patiently.”

When skies are grey,
I hope and pray.
I know I’m lucky.
Angels find me,
they remind me,
there is a star above, of so much love,
a father’s love for me.

there is a star above, of so much love,
a father’s love for me.

Hold On (lyrics)




hold on
composition - reissue available Aug. 26 ‘07

i can hear time turning,
i can hear days yearning,
to hold on...
as long as you can...

and with life’s wind, burning,
knowing you’re still learning,
to hold on...
as long as you can...

beyond space,
beyond time,
beyond the shadows of your mind,
lies a soul that longs to be free.

use this space, use this time,
leave the shadows of your mind,
let your soul find the time to be free.

and feel your mind, turning new.
and feel your days yearning to hold on...
as long as you can.

Element of Soul (lyrics)




element of soul
composition - reissue available Aug. 26 ‘07

find element of soul,
can you find element of soul,
in your mind,
can’t you hear a voice that’s telling you
‘awaken!’

to the stars, we are,
nothing more than mistaken.

Either You're A Player, Or You're Played


either you're a player or you're played

living in this universe is a funny game,
either you’re a player, or you’re played"
and for those who strive to change it to another name
“gotta be a maker or be made”

so i like to find the renegades,
who think twice before they roll,
yes, i’d like to find a renegade,
cuz i think i’m bout ready to fold.

living in this universe is a funny game,
“either you’re a player, or you’re played”
and for those who strive to change it to another name
better be a maker, or be made.

so i like to find the renegades,
who think twice, think twice!,
before they roll,
i’d like to find a renegade,
cuz i think i’m bout,
think i’m bout ready to fold.

so within this universe and it’s funny games,
rather be a maker than be made.

Yes! I’d rather be a maker
than be made...
than be made.

Cycle, Cycle ii, V (lyrics)



cycle
spinning around
til someone comes turn you upside down.

here i go again,
down that road again

someone found out long before i came along
someone was singing this same song,
"how'm i gonna change the world i'm living in a cycle?"
