put your lips against my forehead
hold my face in your hands
release me from the bondage
of being a man
create a place of safety now
a place soft and warm
to your security caress me
sing your soothing song
keep me here and teach me here
tell me again the won't reach me here
take the monsters of my daymares
and chase them away
you help me to rise up
you help me to pray
in mind and in body
in spirit and soul
administer tenderly
love to the whole
keep me here and teach me here
tell me again they won't reach me here

Grown and growing

grown and growing for eight years now
I looked away for a moment and here you are
I remember you flying on the floor
you were doing some sky diving
you don't do that anymore
it seems everything must change
but I see one thing stays the same
even when you have to go
your name will stay the same
don't let it happen I hear myself say
I feel so helpless now it's moving all away
I want to make it stop I want to tie it down
nothing can be made stop that ever touched the ground
burning in slow burning flame
everything slow burning flame
consuming only the peripherals around you
you stay the same

Only one

if I've told you once I've told you twice
these words are said no effort made
they spring up inside and overflow
they spring up inside and overflow
you are the only one I'll ever need
you are the only one I'll never leave
my secrets are safe with you
if I've told you once I've told you twice
these words are said no effort required
they spring up inside and overflow
they spring up inside and overflow
you are the only one I'll ever need
you are the only one I'll never leave
I'll hide myself in you

Sky above ground below

|

|
the sky above me and the ground below
the sky above me and the ground below
I'll follow my feet wherever they go
I'll follow my feet wherever they go
I don't care what anybody says
I don't care what anybody says
I'll lose myself away in the braes
I'll lose myself away in the braes

Agreed
05:27
|
|||
|
It's been agreed
It's been agreed
but not by me
but not by me
their minds made up
to what they see
It's been agreed
but not by me
no opportunity
to make the present
different
from the past
to be other
than this
they only see
what they want to see
they only see
what they want to see

do not be slow
you must be fast
do not sit back
you will be last
open your mind
and you will find
what you need
you must not wait
on others forever
know your own mind
and you will find
who you need

a tree
twenty times

lets it's leaves go
a tree
twenty times
the size

lets it's leaves go
how can
you let
your
leaves
go?

Circles
04:13
|
|||
|
one thing I've learned
is that we must learn
the same things over
and over
no straight lines here
no straight paths
but circles
circles circles
walk the same paths
again and again
this time
a little
deeper?
