Far away


                                        ( Where dreams are born )

The lovely maid

Stopped by the stream to rest awhile

In the shade of a big elm tree

True Freedom

A song by

THE 4 GIRLS

;;;

long branches cross the sky

Hidden dreams .....

The day gently moves along


We can follow if we want


//


We can follow if we want


The frieght train the early dawn

The wide eyed girl the gentle joy

The simple gaze from the pure hearted boy

Tomorrow's world depends on you


)(


Sing for free

Send your poems on the wind

Awaken every single one

With visions of the fertile earth

In its place that's called YOUR HEART


::

Over there a child born

Over there an old man dies

You cry or don't cry as you choose

The river runs to the sea

No
Matter what you do or think

//

Good good people

Good good world


Simple is the silence



It is the home of god


.

.



. We gather together




//




We come to pure nature

We need a reminder

Of just what is real

And the truth of it all


/:::/

We are such fragile beings

Because

It teaches us to be gentle


And to be strong


•
<^>
•


We are not naive


We know the fabric of AMERICA  has been destroyed

We know of the wars to come

We know our dreams are but fantacies

••

And so we are here

We come to the sea

We come to the heart of creation


We come to
Be together


We come to
Make decisions

We come to create


A NEW WORLD

We watch the night skies for signs and omens

We see and feel

The brutal lonliness of our

Love

Sham

So be it

( What else can little children do ? )

With no reality anywhere

Be together

Sheer lonliness

Ugly necessity

We flounder insignificantly

And then we die

But the futile sense of waste remains

Amid the lovelessness of our lies

••

In the middle of the battlefield

Amid the dying and the laughing

)(((


Will we love again ?

The pain is great

So hard to take


••


We are the saints

We deny it but it is so

Jesus died upon the cross

I go limping down the road

Little boy

At the breakfast table


//              //


She said :

" maybe I'll go out and get laid tonight

I don't really care anymore "

••

Fighting for food stamps

( isn't it our right ? )

||

Most people fighting hard

NOT TO THINK !

About anything that's real

)(

Screams !

The god himself is covered with death

)(

The boy and girl

In so much pain


.

Rebel


:::

the last of the dead images !!!!

We shall not ptretend anymore

)(

The streets are not fit to carry our dreams

To the beauty of the hills

)(

We are simple beings


•


We shall rebel

;;;

We are not petty little white boys waiting for

Our fix

•


We too are men

••

We shall gather all the lovers together


The rest do not exist anymore

••

Out of the bars and into heart of man

We are

Simple warriors with shining eyes

"


We are not just petty white boys

Looking for our next fix

••


We too are real

... Indian song ( boy of the high plains

And low hills )

//

I want to walk all my days by your side

•         •

I am

A simple loving girl

I would make

A humble gentle wife


||


We are above all else

SOUL Warriors

•


We are earth spirit

And sky

""""


Everyone knows

Of the days soon to come

//

OUR SONG  !!
.........

we are goin to the mountains

And we think you too should come



.

So shut up your

I LOVE YOU
crap

And be real !

)(

Jesus !

You are making everybody sick !

::

><

::

Life !


Nurturing kindness


True feelings concerning

ACTUAL SURVIVAL

OF HUMANITY

;:;:

Yeah babe

I know you are suffering

//

But that ain't no reason to

Spread it all around !

I know you are there !!

So

Cut out the

I LOVE YOU
crap

And become someone

I can be with in peace !
