Our Time Now
02:51

|
I watch them, living on the sidelines
waiting for the day, when love will also be mine
but when the days turn to weeks
and the weeks go on and on for years
it's so hard to ignore all my lonely fears
But today the sun came out
and it warmed my heart
I feel your hand in mine and at last it's a start
My time is here, I knew it'd happen somehow
still feels kinda weird, but I know that it's our time now
Long waits, heart rending, leads to better endings
Such danger lies within the status quo
people terrified of all the things they don't know
such damage has been wrought
by leaders who are bought
Our time is here, so long to the reign of money, the reign of money
Stiff minds, corruption, it's clear
the day has come and it's our time now
Long waits, heart rending, leads to better endings
Our time now, yeah, it's our time, it's our time now

Doing Nothing
02:36
|

|
I'm doing nothing, nothing at all
the days keep passing but I'm stuck at a wall
Just doing nothing, nothing at all
this life is finite, the future won't wait
but I'm, busy doing nothing, lamenting my fate
I'm doing nothing, nothing at all
the days keep passing but I'm stuck at a wall
still doing nothing, nothing at all
the options span out, it's so hard to choose
because no matter what I pick there's something that I'll lose
I'm doing nothing, nothing at all
I keep on circling but I can't make the call
still doing nothing, nothing at all
I'm growing frantic as time passes by
but still the devil that I know is friendly by my side
I'm doing nothing, nothing at all
nothing, nothing, nothing at all

I want to be free, not heavy, heavy in my heart
I want to be free ohhh yeah
cuz my love flows like a river
can't help but deliver
give me sky oh I
tried to find the best solution
felt like my love's execution
I'm feeling doubts as to my choice about you as through, it's true
it's my journey and
I want to be free, not heavy, but free in my heart I want to be free wohh, yeah
thinking something's set in stone
poised to find myself alone
I feel the route that would have life
without you as blue, it's true
it's my journey and
I want to be free, not heavy, but free in my heart
I want to be free wohh, yeah
cuz my love flows like a river
can't help but deliver
give me sky oh I want to be free yeah
I want to be free

Grandpa's Song
03:39
|

|
he is waiting for his daddy, with his back to the window too much drinking, Dad's not coming today utterly barren inside, he swears to himself that he's not going to be this way
a family that's whole, a father that's around children that know, they're loved
he is waiting at the altar, for the love of his life a radiant smile on her face, all his lifetime she will stand by his side
united in love, with sons of their own
sons that have a home
years go by, brown turns to grey
four sons with families of their own
have a blueprint that says
a family that's whole, a father that's around children that know, they're loved
he is waiting for his family, so they all can be by his side every one of them has a light there that they carry inside
a family that's whole, across all space and time and may grandpa know, he's loved

Moving On

It's what I knew most of my life was
spent with you, but for us both now,
we need to make a change so I will
I'm moving on, the time I've spent
is now long gone it does not matter
what I thought before, the time has come explore
the change comes slow
comfort with distance starts to grow
and when I think on the road
that's up ahead I see that
I'm moving on, the time I've spent
is now long gone it does not matter
what I thought before, the time has come to explore
Life has wound it's course and I I'm moving on yea
I see it now, viewing it backwards somehow
it seemed the only way to make a life worthy of
but in the end it just kept me from what I love
I'm moving on, the time I've spent
is now long gone it does not matter
what I thought before, the time has come explore

here with you the world's at peace
there is nothing that I must do or say
and I love that it can be this way, all okay knowing
here with you the world's at peace
all my fears are gone with you to allay them and I love that it can be this way all okay flowing
ahh here with you the world can be calm
A psalm in your heartbeat
here with you my heart's at ease
snuggle close my love feeling warm and held and I know that everything is well, I can tell feeling
here with you my heart's at ease
no more worries now, drinking in the silence and I'm grateful that this gift is mine, so divine feeling
ahhh here with you the world can be calm
a psalm in your heartbeat

Obama Song

the state of the union
the state of the sea
the state of the weather
it's enough to depress me
I'll be amazed if we make it through
this next stretch of time
not to discourage, but the time is now
and we are here to find
Wohh We are the ones we've been waiting for
We are the ones, we are ones
I stood in line with thousands of people, thousands and thousands of people I could feel it, it was real, it was epic there was change in the air
wohh we are the ones we've been waiting for, yeah
And it's coming..
I held breath and I closed my eyes, and when at last he won the words he spoke were wise
"There will never be a solution that will ever work, if we don't all try"
Wohh we are the ones we've been waiting for
When it all falls away, what we have is each other
when the fire of purpose spreads from one to another
Wohhh we are the ones we've been waiting for

Here

Here is where I find myself wohh
taking a glance down the road that's behind,
noticing all the things that aligned
no moment was ever wasted to get me here
water flows and dreams show,
nothing here is permanent
yet when I open my eyes I see, it is so evident,
everything is heaven sent and we find it here
where we find ourselves wohh
planets spin and a child grins
and it's nothing you can quantify
yet in the beat of a heart it's clear
life itself is whizzing by,
step aboard and take the ride, to deliver you
here where you find yourself wohh
whispering up from the cracks in the road
telling me trust is the best way to go
holding me close now at every turn
teaching me slowly to learn
all I imagine is a breath away
waiting for me to finally say
here is where I find myself wohh
