THE DISTANCE TO HERE

THE DOLPHIN'S CRY

The way you're bathed in light

Reminds me of that night

God laid me down into your rose garden of trust

And I was swept away

With nothin' left to say

Some helpless fool

Yeah I was lost in a swoon of peace

You're all I need to find

So when the time is right

Come to me sweetly, come to me

Come to me

Love will lead us, alright

Love will lead us, she will lead us

Can you hear the dolphin's cry?

See the road rise up to meet us

It's in the air we breathe tonight

Love will lead us, she will lead us

Oh yeah, we meet again

It's like we never left

Time in between was just a dream

Did we leave this place?

This crazy fog surrounds me

You wrap your legs around me

All I can do to try and breathe

Let me breathe so that I

So we can go together!

Love will lead us, alright

Love will lead us, she will lead us

Can you hear the dolphin's cry?

See the road rise up to meet us

It's in the air we breathe tonight

Love will lead us, she will lead us

Life is like a shooting star

It don't matter who you are

If you only run for cover, it's just a waste of time

We are lost 'til we are found

This pheonix rises up from the ground

And all these wars are over

Over

Over

Singin' la da da, da da da

Over

Come to me

Come to me

Yeah la da da da, da da da

Come to me

THE DISTANCE

Let him come into the city

Let him find his lucky penny

Let him put it in his pocket

And shake it all around

I've been to pretty buildings, all in search of you

I have lit all the candles, sat in all the pews

The desert had been done before,

But I didn't even care

I got sand in both my shoes and scorpions in my hair

I saw that...

Oh the distance is not do-able

In these bodies of clay my brother

Oh the distance, it makes me uncomfortable

Guess it's natural to feel this way

Oh, let's hold out for somethin' sweeter

Spread your wings and fly

My car became the church and I

The worshipper of silence there

In a moment peace came over me

And the one who was beatin' my heart appeared and...

Oh the distance is not do-able

In these bodies of clay my brother

Oh the distance, it makes me uncomfortable

Guess it's natural to feel this way

Oh, are we locked into these bodies?

Let's hold out for somethin' sweeter

Spread your wings and fly

Oh, are we locked into these bodies?

Are we anything at all?

Let's hold out for somehtin' sweeter

Spread your wings and fly

This distance is dreamin'

We're already there tonight

SPARKLE

I'm gatherin' up

My friends today

And those who

Recognize the face

As the vision that changed my mind

From hate to faith

Was as simple as grapes to

Wine and sweet as

I'm gatherin' up my friends today

All those hookers and soldiers and swine

And woulkd be saints

All alone in their rooms that sparkle in their eye

Play a song that they'll come outside

To see if

Love will overcome

If this love will make us men

Love will draw us in

To wipe our tears away

The day that I was so sweetly sung

By the wind and the thunder moved by "someone"

The feelin' of being lived was so strong

The giver became the gift, all one

The day that I was so sweetly sung

The wind seemed to whisper softly, "oh son,"

Don't wait for the seas to part or messiahs to come

Don't sit around and waste this chance, to see it!"

Love will overcome

If this love will make us men

Love will draw us in

To take our fear away

LOVE

LOVE

LOVE

LOVE

LOVE, hey, yeah

Love, this day now, this day that I was so

Sweetly sung, I know, I know that

Love will overcome

Love will overcome

If this love will make us men

Love will draw us in

To take our fear away, wipe our tears away

Love

And all my friends are here

In the city I sing my song

In the face of the hooker, the soldier,

The swine

I found it, I found it, I found love!!!!

Love will, love will, love will,

Overcome

Over come

RUN TO THE WATER

Oh desert speak to my heart

Oh woman of the earth

Maker of children who weep for love

Maker of this birth

'Til your deepest secrets are known to me

I will not be moved

I will not be moved

"Don't try to find the answer

When there ain't no question here

Brother let your heart be wounded

And give no mercy to your fear"

Andam and eve live down the street form me

Babylon is every town

It's as crazy as it's ever been

Love's a stranger all around

In a moment we lost our minds here

And lay our spirit down

Today we lived a thousand years

All we have is now

Run to the water

And find me there

Burnt to the core but not broken

We'll cut through the madness

Of these streets below the moon

These streets below the moon

And I will never leave you

'Til we can say, "This world was just a dream

We were sleepin' now we are awake"

'Til we can say

In a moment we lost our minds here

And dreamt the world was round

A million mile fall from grace

Thank God we missed the ground

Run to the water

And find me there

Burnt to the core but not broken

We'll cut through the madness

With a nuclear fire of love in our hearts

Yeah, I can see it now Lord

Our beyond all the breakin' of waves

And the tribulation

It's a place and the home of ascended souls

Who swam out there in love!

Run to the water

And find me there

Burnt to the core but not broken

We'll cut through the madness

Of these streets below the moon

With a nuclear fire of love in our hearts

Rest easy baby, rest easy

And recognize it all as light and rainbows

Smashed to smithereens and be happy

Run to the water (and find me there)

Run to the water

SUN

Let the world be the world

Let the dream unfurl

Let it run its own game

Let it dance with itself

I didn't put it here

Gonna let it ride

Gotta master, crazy on the other side

Wakin' me up

I ain't got no brains

I can't trust my eyes

What good's a beautiful day

If you can't see the light?

I can't find my fate

Well then I must be blind

With the force and fire of love

That's takein over my mind

Wakin' me up

Obligin' me to the sun

Obligin' me to the sun

Sun sun merciful one

Sun sun

Sun sun won't you lay down your light on us

Sun sun

Let the world be the world

Let the girl be the girl

Let her beauty move ya

Let her dance be your guide

Let your hunger grow

But don't eat the fruit "too low"

Keep climbin' for the kisses on the other side

Wakin' me up obligin' me to the sun

Obligin' me to the sun

Sun sun merciful one

Sun sun

Sun sun won't you lay down your light on us

Sun sun

All we need is to come into the sun

We've been out in the dark for so long

All I need, all we need, all I need, all we need! Yeah!

VOODOO LADY

Light up a cigarette she said

And calm the phuck down

You got a serious side to you

That could give the whole world a frown

Now nothin' really matters to me you see

Check out these holes in my gown

Let your eyes lose their focus a little

Let your guard come down

I was thirsty for everything

But water wasn't my style

Guess we might have to teach me somethin'

Guess we might have to show me how

Now put out that cigarette she said

Somethin' ain't right in here

It's tieed to the both of us, I ain't sure now, it isn't clear

We could have been born helpless children

Beggin for our next meal

I could be a voodoo lady, just a classy hooker

Playin' the field

Classy hooker!!!

Hey! I've made up my mind, yeah

I came to see your sign

Dissapear this mornin' but come back tonight

Light up a cigarette she said

And calm the phuck down

Relax and let your ears hear this beautiful song

That's hidin' underneath the sound

Underneath the sound!!!

I made up my mind

I came to see you fly

Disappear this mornin' but come back tonight

Voodoo lady

Voodoo lady

Voodoo lady

Voodoo lady

I was thirsty for everyhing but blood, wasn't my style!

Voodoo lady

Did I dream you up or are you for real?

Are you for real?

Are you for real?

WHERE FISHES GO

Yeah I found God

And He was absolutely nothin' like me

He showed me up like some dime-store hooker

Who was plain to see

I couldn't take it anymore so I went back to the sea

Cuz' that's where fishes go

When fishes get the sense t flee

Where you goin' now?

What's your plan?

Yeah I found God

And He was absolutely just like me

He opened my mouth, looked down my throat

Told me I was thirsty

He said, I been, I been, I been

Been in this water all my life

Never took the time to breathe, breathe,

BREATHE!

Whatcha doin' in this darkness baby?

When you know that love will set you free

Will you stay in the sea forever?

Drownin' there for all eternity

Whatcha doin' in this darkness baby?

Livin' down where the sun don't shine

Come on out into the light of love

Don't spend another day

Livin' in the sea

Livin' in the sea, yeah

I couldn't take it anymore

So I went back to the sea

Cuz' that's where fishes go

When fishes get the sense to flee

Breahte, BREATHE!

Whatcha doin' in this darkness baby?

When you know that love will set you free

Will you stay in the sea forever?

Drownin' there for all eternity

Whatcha doin' in this darkness baby?

Livin' down where the sun don't shine

Come on out into the light of love, child

Don't spend another, no no

Whatcha doin' in this darkness baby?

Come on out into the light of love

Come on out into the light of love child

Don't spend another day

Livin' in the sea, livin' in the sea

FACE AND GHOST (THE CHILDREN'S SONG)

You got it bad

You got it good

You saw the sun

Like you knew that you would

We gotta make this better

Gotta make this right

Ain't no peace in the valley baby

'Til the darkness turns to light

Can you hear the children's song?

Can you take me to that place?

High above the lamentation up on the desert

Plane

Do you hear that children's song?

Can you take me there?

Lost in the maya

Overboard in the sea

There was void and then that water broke

Then something called "me"

How a trip to the desert to look at the sky

Like never-ending mirrors

Playing tricks on my eyes

Can you hear that children's song?

Can you thake me to that place?

High above the lamentation up on the desert

Plane

Do you hear that children's song?

Can you take me there?

The face and ghost my guide

I must move on

It's the face of one ravaged by love

It's both dead and alive

You got it bad love

No you got it good

You saw the sun

Like you knew that you would

In spite of my confusion

Up above all my pain

I goatta death-grip on this vision

Here we go again

The face and ghost my guide

I must move on

It's the face of one ravaged by love

It's both dead and alive

Sha la la la la la la

Sha la la la la la la

Sha la la la la la la

Can you hear them singin'?

Can you hear them singin'?

Can you hear that children's song?

Can you take me to that place?

Do you hear that pilgrim's song?

Can you take me there?

FEEL THE QUIET RIVER RAGE

Always fighting the storm

Afraid to suffer the wound

All praise to that conscious one

Who always sufferes the wound, child

Suffers the wound, child

Hey!

Suffers the wound!

Never turns from love

Give it up

Always try to explain

Afraid to lay naked in the sun

He's crazy, she dances in the light

The crowd jeers, they won't put up a fight

Hey!

Suffers the wound!

Never turns from love

Give it up

Until my heart is free to roam

She won't never leave me alone

Saved by the river now

Saved

Always fighting the storm

Buildin' shelter to house our lack of love

We're only here for a while

Tear it down and suffer the wound

Hey!

Suffers the wound!

Never turns from love

Give it up

Until my heart is free to roam

She won't never leave me alone

Saved by the river now, saved

(never turns from love, never turns to hate)

Until my heart is free to roam

She won't never leave me

Saved

(Never turns from love, never turns to hate)

Always suffers the wound, never turns from love

Never turns to hate

Saved by the river now

Always suffers the wound, never turns from love

Never turns to hate

An invisible Mississippi, Ganges or a Nile

I can feel the quiet river rage

Forcin' my lips into a smile

Don't believe that the world is empty

Just too noisy to hear the sound

I can feel the quiet river rage

And I'm fallin' down

Saved by the river now

Saved

MELTDOWN

Like Himallan cold winter

These jaws of kali yuga

Yeah it's a crazy kind of cold

A lifeless slumber in a stranglehold

Yeah Tibet, she can't even touch this

I'd rather freeze in her forests

We're in a spiritual winter

And I long for the one who is

Fire!

Amongst the dreamers

You are in my heart

Like the sun on the icecaps

My only friend in the prison

The long lost meaning to the story, story

The divine and ancient wisdom

How could it be that you've graced my night?

Like a pardon from the governor

Like a transplant from the donor

Like a gift from the one who is

Fire!

Amongst the dreamers

You are in my heart

Fire!

Amongst the dreamers

You are in my heart

In a place where everything dies

It's you I follow

See by the fire

Of my darlin', yeah!

Fire!

Amongst the dreamers

You are, you are

In my heart

Like a pardon from the governor

Like a transplant from the donor

Like a kiss, like a kiss,

From my darlin'

Yeah!

THEY STOOD UP FOR LOVE

Naked lovers feel the blood beneath their veins

Electric nerves communicate

With tiny explosions through our brains

Who is this energy that never left or came?

Give rise to passion the only glory

Of this human story

I give my heart and soul to the one

We spend all of our lives goin' out of our minds

Looking back to our birth, forward to our demise

Even scientists say, everything is just light

Not created, destroyed but eternally bright

Masters in everytime lord in everyplace

Those who stood up for love down in spite of the hate

In spite of the hate

Who put the flower in the barrel of that gun?

Who lit the candle that started the fire,

Burnt down the fortress, the throne?

Who could house all the refugees in a single shack

Or a lowly bungalow?

Who lives in a different dimension, free from the

Struggles we know?

I give my heart and soul to the one

We spend all of our lives goin' out of our minds

Looking back to our birth, forward to our demise

Even scientists say, everything is just light

Not created, destroyed but eternally bright

Masters in everytime lord in everyplace

Those who stood up for love down in spite of the hate

We spend all of our lives goin' out of our minds

They live in the light

We made it to the mood

But we can't make it home

Waitin' n a rescue that never comes

Made it to the mood

But we can't make it home

Maybe home is where the heart is given up

We spend all of our lives goin' out of our minds

Lookin' back to our birth, forward to our demise

We spend all of our lives goin' out of our minds

They live, they

They stood up for love

Stood up for love

Stood up for love

They stood up for love

Stood up for love

Stood up for love

We spend all of our lives goin' out of our minds

Masters in everytime

We spend all of our lives goin' out of our minds

Stood up for love
