Cages

We trap ourselves inside these cages everyday
I wonder what they’re really made of anyway
Everything is just vibration so they say
The mind creates just what the mind wants to create
So through this song and through this dance I will destroy
I’ll break the bonds with every holler every shake
And step outside of what was never there at all
Free this emotion up and out through my cell walls
If I am going to commit my life to this
I will not be attached to it
No I will let my soul choose it, my soul choose it
If I am going to commit my life to this
I will not be entrapped by it
No I will let my soul choose it, my soul choose it
What does the truth really consist of anyway
Elusive concept lacking form or constant shape
Is it held inside my mind or is it viewed?
Is it sitting very still or does it move?
Or is it just like water flowing through
Through my fingers through the land through me and you
I scoop it up and hold it briefly in my hands
Drink from the springs and maybe come to understand
If I am going to commit my life to this
I will not be attached to it
No I will let my soul choose it, my soul choose it
If I am going to commit my life to this
I will not be entrapped by it
No I will let my soul choose it, my soul choose it

Murmurations

A single star high in the sky
the other stars they seem so shy
Maybe they need to take their time
Don’t drown them in your artificial lights
Slowly so slowly so slowly
Slowly so slowly so slowly
We learn to wait, adjust our eyes
And one by one they come to shine
Seems they were here all the time
Seems they were here all the time
Murmurations in the sky
The fading light the gloaming time
On the horizon I see change
On the horizon I see change
Into the forest falls the night
The scent of flowers oh so bright
Revealed by the fading evening light
And one by one the creatures start to fly
Slowly so slowly so slowly
Slowly so slowly so slowly
Slowly the forest comes to life
The wild things were here all the time
Oh the wild things were here all the time
Murmurations in the sky
The fading light the gloaming time
On the horizon I see change
On the horizon I see change
The wild things were here all the time
Oh the wild things were here all the time

Tame Me
04:36

Oh the river keeps flowing
and my roots they are growing
but I’m giving up on knowing, anything
Oh the clouds keep reforming
and the sands keep on shifting
And my truth keeps on changing all the time
It’s like surfing on a wave
Who knows when it’s gonna break
and you’ll tumble in the wake
of waking up
CHORUS
I think that you could tame me tame me
You make me wanna tame my mind
Let’s get a little wilder wilder
The wilderness is deep inside
I think that you could tame me tame me
You make me wanna lose my pride
So show me how to love you love you
This kind of love is hard to find
Oh the tides they keep turning
all my life I’ve been yearning
And so slowly I’m learning
to be free
Time to stop second guessing
Stop controlling and planning
Cos this life won’t be put inside a box
Can’t get trapped in the moment
Cos it’s never here for long
If you blink, it has gone
already gone
CHORUS
All the plants they are pushing
through the cracks in the paving
This lifeforce is mis-behaving
Won’t be tamed
All this love we are seeking
We forget about giving
So obsessed with the feeling
Holding on
So give up on deciding
Cos it’s how, not what you do
Maybe there’s more than one right answer we can choose
CHORUS
Outro:
Oh life is just a fleeting whisper
We’re here for the shortest time
Wish I could live more fully, fully
The moments as they pass me by
We’re here for the shortest time
We’re here for the shortest time
We’re here for the shortest time
We’re here for the shortest time

Keep on Loving

When the fear keeps coming
We must keep on loving
We must keep on loving
When the world feels dark
We must not lose heart
We must not lose heart
When they try to divide us
We must come together
We must come together
See ourselves in them
Understand each other
Understand each other
We must find the strength from deep within
Now the time has come to reel it in
We must find the strength from deep within
Now the time has come to reel it in
Keep on loving
Don't lose heart
Come together
Understand each other
