One Soul
04:37
|
|||
Do you feel like you're running?
Gotta stop, let the feelings flood in
Space to breathe.
Space to move.
At your pace find your groove.
Cuz there are people out there
Who don't- they don't care!
And there are people in your life
Bound to cause you strife.
But don't worry about that
Because I got your back.
I got your back.
There is ONE SOUL to feel.
What do you want it to be?
There is ONE SOUL to feed.
What do you want it to be?
Exodus, Modern Day Exodus.
And we will walk on the shore,
Into the sun going down
And the sky is orange.
Exodus, Modern Day Exodus.
Today is the day to make change.
Make Change. Be Change. Love Change.
One Soul. One Soul.

Peel Away
03:38
|
|||
Can I deliver this river
Of blood through my veins
To eliminate the sediments
Of old weathered pains
I got to peel away the unnecessary
I got to peel away the unnecessary
The power and the current state of my mind
Will determine the duration of the rest of my life
It's that serious- I know you're curious and if you ask
The answer's no
With my conviction is this restriction
To conceive, receive the ebb and flow
I got to peel away the unnecessary
I got to peel away the unnecessary
And it's going to save me!
It's got to save me!
Cuz I've got too much to lose
And I've got too much to do
I've got to save myself from you
And it all depends on what I choose
Revelation to revolution
Til it stares me in the face
To assimilate and facilitate
Me a saving grace
I got to peel away the unnecessary
I got to peel away the unnecessary
And it's going to save me!
It's got to save me!
Cuz I've got too much to lose
And I've got too much to do
I've got to save myself from you
And it all depends on what I choose
It all depends on what I choose

Stirring The Coals
04:29
|
|||
In my dreams I was alone and going against the grain
In a world where a man could force ya to be his dame
And there was no light and the winds were cold
I was trapped up in a room- held back by fear
Held back by my own hold
Asleep for hours, wrapped more in snow
And in a dress that was too long for me
Draping on the floor
Running for something, untying more and more
Of what's sewn inside of me
How can I make it out the door?
It's time that I rise from these ashes
Instead of stirring the coals
It's time that I rise from these ashes
Instead of stirring the coals
Passengers riding along with me
Hiding from something I seem to be
Slowing myself with a stubbornness
Of a pit bull's jaw
And I trip up on the gown I was born in
Would I be sinning if I ripped it off
Stood there naked and raw
Exposed in the cold with this fire
Burning in me lord!
I will stay warm as long as I leave
The place where I was born!
Exposed in the cold with this fire
Burning in me lord!
I will stay warm as long as I leave
The place where I was born!
It's time that I rise from these ashes
Instead of stirring the coals
It's time that I rise from these ashes
Instead of stirring the coals

Same To You
05:19
|
|||
Come in from the cold
Wrap yourself up in light tonight
And there's so much we don't need to know
That's not what we're here for tonight
Oh, we may let the scroll unroll
Or wring out the towel
Share a thought or two
You owe me nothing
And I owe the same to you
Same to you
There's a river between us
We walk carefully not to slip in
And there's something so familiar
Yet something so distant
Oh, we may let the scroll unroll
Or ring out the towel
Share a laugh or two
You owe me nothing
And I owe the same to you
Same to you
We let the sunrise in
As I wake before I go to sleep
And the water it tastes so sweet
But I just can't get in that deep
Oh, we may let the scroll unroll
Or ring out the towel
Share a fear or two
You owe me nothing
And I owe the same to you
Same to you
Go on, now go.
Go- we know nothing.
Now I said go! Go! Go!
We know nothing!
Go! Go! Go!
And take your mystery with you

Tilt
04:48
|
|||
Spider webs sinking in
In your head you been livin'
Sweep it on out- sweep it from within
All you're projectin'
It's the feelings that arise
When I enter in your eyes
Bringing up old disdain
But you pinned it on the wrong name
Ain't my name
Now that you hear my voice on the radio play
Curse me the cause of your unhappiness
Never mention my name again
And like me- your problems will go away
It's the trust that's lackin'
The passive aggression- the petty attackin'
Don't you know we're always winning
The games we are inventin', yea.
It's the feelings that arise
When I enter in your eyes
Bringing up old disdain
But you pinned it on the wrong name
Ain't my name
Now that you hear my voice on the radio play
Shadow the shame of your own pettiness
Never mention my name again
And like me- your problems will go away
Now that you hear my voice on the radio play
Curse me the cause of your unhappiness
Never mention my name again
And like me- your problems will go away
Watch what you say now!

Get Go (Full Band)
03:37
|
|||
Saliva caught in the back of my throat
Only if I could choke down what you said to me today
I ain't got no season to reinforce your reason
On why you think my love would just waste you away
My life right now is like smoking an empty pipe
Let your the light burn your lips as you inhale
What don't exist- can my life get much more
Hopeless than this- I don't know
Maybe I should wait til tomorrow
So now whatchyou gonna do
When she don't come for you
Lord knows no kinda love
Is going to save you
I just wish that I had something
Better to do than to sit around thinking
Bout where I went wrong with you
Oh what a scene when life can be so clean
It brings you to the right spot at the right time
But only when you're not searching for it
I threw out my rope
It produced no hope
You just choked my hope
And when I pulled back
You let go of the grip you didn't have from the Get Go
I'm so glad I let go
So now whatchyou gonna do
When she don't come for you
Lord knows no kinda love
Is going to save you
I just wish that I had something
Better to do than to sit around thinking
Bout where I went wrong with you
So now whatchyou gonna do
When she don't come for you
Lord knows no kinda love
Is going to save you
I'm glad that I had nothing better to do
Than to sit around writing this little
Old song for you
Round in circles. You had me round in circles.

Rivers Parted
06:31
|
|||
here it goes again
i set myself a trap i was bound to get caught in
i see clearly now
guilt tied to my wrists tight
and its a weight that just don't feel right
what can i say?
is it a shame or just a game that we are
playing this way?
well, we're too close.
it's too close to tell.
Oh, I'm running on empty and I know
I've got to keep on pushing, pushing til I get there
The race has started- the rivers parted
They say the end is always near
And its amaizng what you can manifest
When you got yourself at best or when you really care
When you enter in a circle
That you draw for yourself
You're gonna feel those vibes
Like they're all in disguise
They smile and wave
As they pass messages
Through their eyes
But its too quick to catch
You're intuitive to their toss
And in the end well you know
Or at least you hope that it
Ain't no big loss
Oh, I'm running on empty and I know
I've got to keep on pushing, pushing til I get there
The race has started- the rivers parted
They say the end is always near
And its amaizng what you can manifest
When you got yourself at best or when you really care
I was afraid to feel loved
But i didn't want to lose ya
I was ashamed to say that i was on my way love
Cuz i didn't want to hurt ya
And i know that wasn't fair love
Wish i could change my choices back there
There's a lesson in every corner, i swear
I wanna hurry up an heal
But it just don't happen that ay
Time slows me down
And i just don't know what to say (Look out!)
So i look out the window
What do i see?
Is it you looking back at me
Maybe its just the highway- it's hard to say
Oh- it could be the ocean
Oh I'm running on empty and I know
I've got to keep on pushing, pushing til I get there
The race has started- the rivers parted
They say the end is always near
And its amazing what you can manifest
When you got yourself at best or when you really care
When you really care
When you really care
When you really care (When you care!)
When you really care

Headstrong (Full Band)
05:40
|
|||
it's one thing to be clear
and quite another to be headstrong.
there's nothing you won't do
to change direction when your path is wrong.
well take hold harness.
make the best, get the best with what your given.
it wont make no sense now but soon it will.
i have fallen then i just got up.
i kept on walkin', couldn't see how i was still so caught up.
i thought that i was fine. didn't wanna read between my lines.
where black blurs with white and day makes love tonight.
and this road it will be long if you are headstrong.
what is it that you're afraid of?
is it what you dot know about yourself
or is it that you know all about it?
too proud to put your pride back upon the shelf.
it wont make no sense now but soon it will.
i have fallen then i just got up.
i kept on walkin', couldn't see how i was still so caught up.
i thought that i was fine. didn't wanna read between my lines.
where black blurs with white and day makes love tonight.
and this road it will be long if you are headstrong.
roll with what life gives you.
there's no reason or realization when you try and fight it.
go cuz you'll pull through.
face your fears- face it all and move on despite it.
it wont make no sense now but soon it will.
it wont make no sense now but i'm hoping it will.
and this road will be long if you are headstrong
and this road it will be long if you choose
to be headstrong through all of this.
you're the only one that holds you back, you see.
reverence- responsibility.
can't be so headstrong if what you want is for your mind to breathe.

Great Spirit
04:15

Great Spirit drive me
And I call in sight for those that don’t see
Let go let go let go grip loosen loosen loosen release
And I hear it
Deep down inside of me
And I call in healing in our emotional body
And strip away stickiness expectations of happiness
Let’s resonate like instruments
If you can put it down be here with me
How to stay open when you are cold
How to stay warm when you feel closed
Transform this beautiful pain
Into compassion into compassion
Cool me like rain
Acceptance Guidance 2x
I accept and I dance 2x
I call in fire to burn limitations restrictions
May they fall and crumble
Turn to ashes to nourish our soul
To nourish my soil
To nourish our soil
Uncoil
Let go let go let go grip loosen loosen loosen release

I Will Not Hide
05:45
|
|||
To all the angels, alive and dead
Thank you for saving my life
And the lives of all of my friends
Why haven’t I crossed over yet?
I see that I still have so much to do
On this planet
With so many chances given
I take not for granted
Through each chance given
I am closer yet
I should have been gone
A long time before
But the angels would not
Let me pass through the door
I see now what they are fighting for
The lovers and the dreamers
Are needed here more
I feel it on a cellular level
I will not bury me with your shovel
You can try, you can try
But I will not hide
All of my friends that crossed over
They are my wings now
I feel them all flying free now
They are my teachers
They are my teachers
I will not cross over yet
I live my life with no regret
My medicine you will ne’er forget
Because my love is worth more than death
Oh I sing for my life!
You can try, you can try
But I will not hide
I will not hide
