Up until today I had all these notions about being a man They fell down Out of my smile Out of my pride Out of my mind And I was left with only my hands What if this world were run by a woman? What if we really had respect for a woman’s word? Where would that leave us? Where would that leave me? I played big notes with my mind A moved my hands like lightning Good, I thought It’s not all bad And there’s definitely a weight loss You could say I’m a new man

A New Man
You know, I could get high And take a ride Fly But I feel That I have to push forward Into this on-facing wind That is my life Gaining ground Millimeter by millimeter I feel that my body is set up for this And that the pull to keep my blood clean My lungs fresh Just works for me And it was my mother too Her blood That she kept unpolluted as best she could That mixed with my fathers' A line of users and drinkers too That gave us a chance, a fighting one To make it up out of the black And up into the blue

Kite
I went home from the jam The cacophony of voice and sound Filling the space and world Slowly fading Feeling lonely Wandering like a mystic A lonely king Looking for truth Where was it in this myriad world Of myriad people? I felt funny Truth was here The water of life Inside I want to sit beside it And not think about what I don’t have But what I do Control was rattling its chains of pain This I knew very well I wanted to be on the island in my mind Where I could watch the clouds and trees Hang out on the beach And feel full of music It was always a place I could come to And recharge

Recharge
Is it all in my mind? Is that your hand On the end of that line? Making me reach up high? Making me not want to disappear for good? Way down below Where no-one will ever know? I think it is And I want to kiss you again To tell you where I am I want you I might as well be nothing without that desire Nothing like the air Or the passing days Is it all in my mind? Is that your hand On the end of that line?

Is that your hand on the end of that line?
Kisses like smoke rings You’re floating up and up Hanging Forgetting your feet…

Kisses like Smoke Rings
A sense of wonder A lucid dream How to work this thing? Oh yeah, Now you get the hang of it I could jump thru the stars I could be on a planet With a moon in blue A sense of wonder to get me thru It’s as if I live in my own world When this one is so crazy And so we all gathered in the night Where the music was playing right And we all stopped like children Before words could enter the tips of our heads And listened in wonder Standing like waves around a lamp Waves that had carried their lives Thru a city Thru time To be caught unaware For just a second A kind of secret being intimated A sense of wonder Ever watchful Before the sea carried on thru the night

A Sense of Wonder
A have a soft spot on my soul It’s in grey monochrome And when I’m sweating in my bed It opens like a wound And I feel like a child again I remember going to sleep And being angry at hearing those stories of injustice I would make my blood boil I wonder what kind of shell I was making Let the cool wind blow thru the windows With their healing scent of eucalypt The healing is long, the wounds are deep But one day The world will be restored to health And so will you

The Healing
I saw children playing in their front yard I thought they were so innocent In this world, this mind, people believe that one man can be more alive than another There are people on the street There are billionaire idiots There is war, there are all kinds of crimes against humans committed by other humans Getting here, I sold my soul But I kept my heart And it still wants to save this world The potential for its beauty The potential for peace The potential for humanity A world Where there is no war Where men and women are equal Where equality for all is possible I’ll be dead in 50 years But this dream won’t be It’s a recurring dream It’s in our stories Our songs and our hearts And it will go on forever Blessed be the peaceful

Blessed be the peaceful
We use to say, don’t be O.A. Over active Jealousy, self-hatred, repression, aggression Illusion, politics and war Take me back inside my truth Fly me straight Fly me true Move and remove too I know that your there Truth that comfy chair But to have it heard... What would that be worth?

What is it worth?
(Dear God) Let me live these days As If I were sand And the air were water Moving into it Feeling every part Every grain
