High Time

 

it’s high time

it’s been high time

we did all those things

we said we would

we thought we might

we knew were right

and it’s high time

we did them

all

 

it’s been high time

tide’s been high

for years now

and the waves 

have been eating

at your shores

and i’m not so sure

you knew

how close you were

how near you were

to being more

than you were

to being more than you knew

to being more than you were to being more than you thought 

than you thought you could be

and its high 

time we knew who we could be

if we just let go

of who we think we should be

and its time

we knew who we are

if we just let go 

of who we think we could be

 

and its high time

its been high time

we did all those things

we said we would

we thought we might

we knew were right

and it’s high 

time

we knew who we could be

if we just let go

of who we think we should be

and its time

we knew who we are if we just let go

of who we think we could be

 

 

Jack

Jack walked down to the local store

to buy 

to buy himself

to buy himself a new wife

 

with his head held high

and is britches pulled right up

he walked tall

he walked tall

he walked proud

proud of the bulging

wallet

he held

he held

on his left side

 

proud of the hard won cash

he’d procured

he’d procured through dubious means

 

through dubious means

through dubious means

through mean means

 

what kind of wife

did Jack wanna buy

was she pretty was she young was her shoe size five

was she quiet was she demure

was she the spitting image

of mamma Jack

and well may you ask

what happened to the old one

who stood at the cross roads

the one who beckoned from the open door

whose grey eyes shone of eternity

the one

who could not be told

who could not be told

she was there from the beginning

she was there from the beginning

she was there when the stars were born 

she was there from the beginning

she knew too much

she was too much

she saw to much

she was too much

she felt to much

she was too much

she asked too many questions

she knew too many answers

she was there from the beginning

she was there from the beginning

she was there when the stars were born she was there when the stars were born she was there when the stars were born

 

Setting Sail

setting sail across the sea

on my own 

just me

pray for me, pray for me oh pray for me

 

all my patience just disappeared

I wanted you

to be

here with me

but I set sail

on my own

pray for me, pray for me oh pray for me

 

although I knew

you wanted

to be

with the sea

and with me

I set sail

on my own

i got tired of waiting

tired of waiting to see

if you could be free

with the sea

and with me

 

de de de de

 

setting sail across the sea

on my own just me

i wouldn’t have it any other way

so don’t even bother to pray

cause i am free

with the sea

i just wanna

be

free

with the sea

and the trees 

and the bees

so just 

please

do as you 

please

just

BE

 All 

 

all the things I knew I didn’t know

all the things I knew I couldn’t know

all is everything

and everyone combined

all is everything and everyone

everyone combined

 

its time we talked about religion

its time we talked about politics

is it ok

that you’re telling people

if you don’t think like us your gonna burn

not just once not just twice

for eternity

is it ok

that you’re telling people

if you don’t think like us you’re gonna burn

if you don’t think like us you’re going down

if you don’t think like us then your not one of us

and if your not one of us your

not safe

anywhere

 

is it ok?

i don’t think so

 

all I know is it couldn’t be you and it couldn’t be me alone

all I know is it couldn’t be us and it couldn’t be them alone

 

all is everything and everyone combined

all is everything and everyone combined

 

all is everything

and you can’t know everything

so all is incomprehensible 

and beyond borders

and beyond petty arguments

and beyond

what is written

 in any book

summer time is a good time to love

summer time is a good time to heal

winter time is a good time to love

winter time is a good time to heal

 

times will change

now is just as good a time

to open your eyes

 

somewhere in this world

somewhere in your self

somewhere

you will find the strength

 to heal

to love

to forgive

 

times will change

now is just as good a time

to open your eyes

 

and i can see you growing

i can see you

lifting the veils to your insight

your wings they grow by day

the chains fall away

and i can see you growing

and i can see you

growing away from your old self

growing the wings

to fly away

 

times will change

now is just as good a time

to open your eyes

 

 

Freedom

Some kind of freedom leads to another kind of bondage
Some kind of freedom leads to another deception

we’re all so modern these days
We’re all so free
free to do as we may chose on any given day
free to chose to love .. or be restrained

hmmmmm…

some kind of freedom leads to another kind of bondage
some kind of freedom leads to another deception

freedom… some kind of freedom
freedom…… is spoken of a lot these days
governments who say their fighting for freedom
whose freedom?

free to put a a fast food chain on anybody’s corner
free to devastate the earths resources on sacred lands
free to make as much money as you please
in the most immoral ways you can dream up

some kind of freedom leads to another kind of bondage
some kind of freedom leads to another deception

Hmmmmm

free to tell people in the local newspaper that the air they breath is perfectly safe and that the money they make has nothing to do with the fact that your neighbours are dying of a rare form of cancer that’s linked to the toxins your pumping out of your factorys.
