Ghost Guns
03:42
|
|||
Thoughts and prayers sent won’t save anyone.
In this great divide between law and what is right.
What are you so fearful of
That you need an arsenal?
Untraceable, ghost guns
Will not improve this world.
Somber voices echoing everywhere.
Guns over people and you say you care.
What are you so fearful of
That you need an arsenal?
Untraceable, ghost guns
Will not improve this world.
Meanwhile, teachers and students
rehearse what to do when a shooter
finally comes to their school.
I won’t accept this catastrophe.
We can’t accept this catastrophe.

Join Us!

He lead by example.
King stood against
oppression without violence.
And now, we are in his debt
for teaching peaceful protest.
What would it take for you to join in?
Emma spoke out
and she stood up when
so many voices went silent.
And now, we are in her debt
for speaking against violence.
What would it take for you to join in to this protest?
What if you were tested to do the right thing?
Would you run or would you stand up and be counted?
Join in, Protest!

This America
03:34
|
|||
Disarmed and still
Tell us how a threat still exists.
Excessive force to suppress a person
Who’s crime is color of skin.
Is it so threatening? It is only skin
yet some lose life, liberty and limb.
Have we learned nothing from history?
What some are now witnessing
Has always been right here.
A simple statement
has got simple minds up in arms.
It shows the ignorance and privilege
in this America. If you are not aware
of what is going on or even care
Then you are part of the problem. But, it’s not too late.
What some are now witnessing
Has always been right here, right now.
Now it’s on All of us
to make a difference.

Weathervane
02:31
|
|||
Once like a weathervane and
Free to go with the changing winds.
An anchor now, firmly holding ground.
Watching the world keep turning.
Nothing is easy anymore.
Will it ever be? Seems plain to see.
You are growing as others are slowing.
Watching the world keep turning.
Oh heartbeat, carry me.
I still remember back when.
We kept time at bay, it seemed endless.
Now I am holding on to memories.
Watching the world keep turning.
Carry me across the open sea, and over the fields.
Carry me back home to my everything,
heartbeat carry me.

Barnacles
02:26
|
|||
Barnacles under foot
waves over, just to return.
You and I surrender to
the chaos and the peace.
We wade in. We become immersed in
each moment. Never want it to end.
Is the ebbing of
the ocean symbolic for
love’s chaos and the bliss of love?
We wade in. We become immersed in
each moment. Never want it to end.
Waves return, love retracts.
Like these moments, never to come back.
Still I recall when heartbreak like rogue waves,
cost everything to me.
And the current would sweep me away.

Ignition Song
02:12
|
|||
Was it a common enemy
that we needed to break free from apathy?
What were you saying
that we needed to hear when the curtain fell?
Let this be a catalyst
Your own ignition song.
Let this be the moment
we become one family.
No more complaining
it’s not needed to create anything.
Time for action now! you are needed
to assist one another, friend.
Let this be a catalyst
Your own ignition song.
Let this be the moment
we become one family.
I solemnly swear my allegiance
to love, peace and justice.

Harboring Hope
02:34
|
|||
The sun slipped down.
The sidewalk sunk to greet me,
as street lights appeared.
Without a sound.
Cast shadows could not erase
what was meant to be.
A time and place.
Harboring hope for better nights
and brighter days.
But the scars remain.
Sunlight could not erase
what was meant to be.
I keep this in mind,
no one gets through life
without regrets and/or mistakes.
But, I can’t forget
when I was blown to bits.
Reassembled to the best of my ability.
Reassembled, but some parts went missing.
Sometimes I still feel it.

Vegan Friends
02:43
|
|||
Now I can count you
upon one hand
But I remember when
There was no shortage
Of good vegan friends.
Breaking bread together.
Conversations just as nourishing.
Decades begin and then end,
and I remain here at a smaller table.
I have weighed the options,
why did they change?
I miss them dearly,
all my vegan friends.
Please return to me.
Maybe you have forgotten
that when we decided
to change how we live
it created a ripple effect.
Breaking bread together.
Conversations just as nourishing.
Decades begin then end,
and I remain here at a smaller table.
And I am still waiting for you to return.

I Am Spirit
02:52
|
|||
I am spirit, I am soul.
I have no religion.
I have never liked my options.
My love says all.
Open to the world,
a child of the Earth.
Uncompromising, but I
sleep with a clear heart
and a satisfied mind.
Are you satisfied?
Content with “I don’t know".
I won’t subscribe,
I have never liked my options.
I rise with the sun.
Open to the Earth,
a child of the world.
Uncompromising, but I
sleep with a clear heart
and a satisfied mind.
Always searching for the light.
How it radiates from the inside.

Night Lights
02:52
|

Tonight like most, we listen to The Smiths
while I hold you close, singing along.
Precious moments I would never trade in.
Trying to make sense, of everything.
You remind me of what’s important.
Ears still ringing the day’s refrain.
Thoughts swimming, while you sleep.
Tonight like most, we listen to The Smiths
while I hold you close, singing along.
Precious moments I would never trade in.
When difficulty starts to creep in
You remind me of what’s important.
Ears still ringing the days refrain.
Thoughts swimming while you sleep.
Tonight like most, we listen to The Smiths
while I hold you close, singing along.
Precious moments I would never trade in.
Oh love, it’s a beautiful feeling to
Sing you to sleep, sing you to sleep.
