Oh you know how life can start out rough
but it doesn't make the mark of a man
It's how he pushes through when everything gets tough
and in the end he knows who he is

I met a man about a quarter century ago
who showed me the best example of this
his voice was made of thunder exciting my nerves and bone
learning how he knew how to live

Until they call you home
you don't have to know
but when they call you home
you've got to say "I'm just me"
when they call you home
you have to know
because I know
yes I know

He showed how a man can learn to make progress
As soon he can understand
Life is not always about the common sense
Timing is part of God's plan

There isn't much that you can do about it
and nothing fast enough to try to stop it
my lesson learned in life is that this is not the end
So I'll see you on the other side my friend

Until they call you home
you won't have to know
and when they call you home
you have to say "I am free"
and when they call you home
you have to know
because I know
yes I know

That you're finally free

You bleed it out and let it drip down
The body that is left
tortured by the sorrows of
a fool who's life transgressed
I can see the wounds are left open
though that isn't what you said
You carry on thinking you're healing
but you're leaving a trail of death

On golden shining days, you can see the light
But when it comes, the storm you ride you let it sweep you away
Oh I want to find a way to tear open the sky
To show you all there are no strings
You can live your life

Oh I need control
So I think I won't lose my soul
to the nothing I can't see
why are they looking at me
Oh I need control

A time will come when you realize
You're wasting precious time
Speaking out about the change that's hindered by your breath
I don't know if anyone's told you but I feel you won't accept
That the broken ones can only stay broken
if you blame somebody else

On golden shining days, you can see the light
But when it comes, the storm you ride you let it sweep you away
Oh I want to find a way to tear open the sky
To show you all there are no strings
You can live your life

Oh I need control
So I think I won't lose my soul
to the nothing I can't see
why are they looking at me
Oh I need control

Love, La La, Love, La La Love, La La Love

No I won't let it go
not until my grave
that's what they say
So Show go on and show
Show off your pride
See what that does for you

Is it ever going to go away
It starts on the inside
the one that no one asks to stay
the slide I fight but still contrive

Start at zero, rise then fall
the ground keeps rising so I'll stand tall

Compulsion built by the ego's indulgence
divulging wilt's the universe's repulsion
Subconscious whims to recognize
the prime elect to analyze

Creature's time spent on watching themselves
while truth like an old toy sits upon the shelf
Define dignity by humanity's degradation
the willingness of every nation

Nuclear unanimity, will never start from the surface or the boundaries beyond
It comes from the origin within a navel energetic pond
The mind collects, stores in the belly, transforms in the heart, then comes glandular manifestation
The armistice of enmity and the achievement of a fool's paradise through all generations

What kind of light will you freeze?
What temple will you create?
Or will it all be your temple
Will you bring the stagnation of light or keep our existence in flux?

In such little time our universe was completely reordered
We never knew what really mattered until our love found a soul
Crossing the divides, the edges and borders
To meet in the middle to make our family's consciousness whole

Finding your soulmate is a beauty of it's own
Then when you create with that love, everything gets brighter, better
A new light inside, brought out to mark how we've grown
The purity of destiny and choice finding a center

It's impossible to understand what a gift a child can be
Until you're blessed with one who's smile could melt the coldest ice
Harmony, when we see your eyes you truly set us free
You pierce the heart with innocence so precise

Remember as the years go by and you read these words
That one is felt above all but love, and that's unconditional
You are a blessing to your parents and the earth
The fact that we get to journey with you is additional

We will always praise you for your ups and light the fire of inspiration
We will always raise you from your falls and teach you the right invocations
We will always show you that we are human too and are always learning just like you
And we will always teach you that the most powerful words in the world are....I ...Love...You!!!

Happy Birthday Harmony Jade!
