    I am a child, I'll last a while.
    You can't conceive
    of the pleasure in my smile.
    You hold my hand,
    rough up my hair,
    It's lots of fun
    to have you there.

    God gave to you,
    now, you give to me,
    I'd like to know
    what you learned.
    The sky is blue
    and so is the sea.
    What is the color,
    when black is burned?
    What is the color?

    You are a man, you understand.
    You pick me up
    and you lay me down again.
    You make the rules,
    you say what's fair,
    It's lots of fun
    to have you there.

    God gave to you,
    now, you give to me,
    I'd like to know
    what you learned.
    The sky is blue
    and so is the sea.
    What is the color,
    when black is burned?
    What is the color?

    Lonely Girl - Todd Snider

    There you sit all by yourself
    Trying to quit like everybody else
    Cigarette smoke in your eyes
    I see a few regrets in there too
    Hey there lonely girl
    Have I got a lonely boy for you

    Like a sunny day somewhere else
    The music plays but it don't help
    Through the haze you roll your eyes
    Every day I wonder what you see
    Hey there lonely girl
    I think you're the only girl for me

    You're the only girl in this whole wide world
    Only throw your pearls at me

    Here I sit all by myself
    Trying to quit something else
    Cigarette smoke in my eyes
    I've got a bunch of regrets too
    Hey there lonely girl
    Have I got a lonely boy for you

    Like A Feather ~ Nikka Costa
    http://youtube.com/watch?v=6cIQn9avW2M

    I'm coming out of my wishing well
    Where only echoes lonely hear m prayers
    I'm coming around to bend cause my resistance been to persistent
    I've come to far to force it so I'll watch it slide and land
    I could come on strong and willful but
    I'd rather watch it fall to the palm of my hand


    And when I set it free like a feather it will be
    And when I rise to see it done like whatever it will be it will be

    I'm taking a breather baby
    From sitting on pins waiting for my sky to fall
    I'm taking up giving in
    So here's the wheel, I'm putting my feet up
    Take another look at me baby
    Today I'm taking on catastrophe
    I'd rather take it easy
    Then try to force what's on its way to me


    And when I set it free like a feather it will be
    And when I rise to see it done like whatever it will be it will be

    We're only afraid if we pull back the blinds too far
    The lights behind that we free will blind other stars
    But the truth doesn't blind it helps to see far
    so get ready to be
    Who you are
    If you want to tell people the truth, make them laugh, otherwise they'll kill you.

    Man is least himself when he talks in his own person. Give him a mask, and he will tell you the truth.

    Stay Human (All The Freaky People) Michael Franti And Spearhead see it live here@ Spearhead Live.
    Artist: Michael Franti And Spearhead
    Album: Stay Human
    Year: 2001


    Get Stay Human (All The Freaky People)

    Starvation is the creation of the devil, a rebel
    I'm bringin' food to the people like a widow
    bringin' flowers to a grave in the middle
    of the city isolation is a riddle
    to be surrounded by a million other people
    but to feel alone like a tree in a desert
    dried up like the skin of a lizard
    but full of colour like the spots of a leopard
    drum and bass pull me in like a shepherd
    scratch my itch like a needle on a record
    full of life like a man gone to Mecca
    sky high like an eagle up soaring
    I speak low but I'm like a lion roaring
    baritone like a Robeson recordin'
    I'm givin' thanks for bein' human every morning

    (chorus)
    Because the streets are alive with the sound of Boom Bap
    can I hear it once again
    Boom Bap tell your neighbour tell afriend
    every box gotta right to be bomin'
    because the streets are alive with the sound of Boom Bap
    can I hear it once again
    Boom Bap tell your neighbour tell a friend
    Every flower got a right to be boomin'
    [Stay Human (All The Freaky People)

    Be resistant
    the negativity we keep it at a distance
    call for backup and I'll give you some assistance
    like a lifesaver deep in the ocean
    stay afloat here upon the funky motion
    rock and roll upon the waves of the season
    hold your breath and your underwater breathin'

    To be rhymin' without a real reason
    is to claim but not to practice a religon
    if television is the drug of the nation
    satellite is immaculate reception
    beaming in they can look and they can listen
    so you see don't believe in the system
    to legalize you or give you your freedom
    you want rights ask em', they'll read em'
    but every flower got a right to be bloomin'
    stay human
    (chorus)

    All the freaky people make the beauty of the world

    You see Y2K ya know is a moment
    in time we find that we can open
    up a heart that's locked or been broken
    by the pain of words not spoken
    or shot by guns a still smokin'
    Cartwrights out on the Ponderosa
    or drive by bang in Testarossa
    we need to heed the words of Dalai Lama
    or at least the words of yo mama
    take a mental trip to the Bahamas
    steam your body in a stereo sauna, sauna, comma
    (chorus)

    Peace
    Earle

    Across the Universe - The Beatles

    http://youtube.com/watch?v=bbirjVeI_Pk

    Words are flying out like
    endless rain into a paper cup
    They slither while they pass
    They slip away across the universe
    Pools of sorrow waves of joy
    are drifting thorough my open mind
    Possessing and caressing me

    Jai guru deva om
    Nothing's gonna change my world
    Nothing's gonna change my world
    Nothing's gonna change my world
    Nothing's gonna change my world

    Images of broken light which
    dance before me like a million eyes
    That call me on and on across the universe
    Thoughts meander like a
    restless wind inside a letter box
    they tumble blindly as
    they make their way across the universe

    Jai guru deva om
    Nothing's gonna change my world
    Nothing's gonna change my world
    Nothing's gonna change my world
    Nothing's gonna change my world

    Sounds of laughter shades of life
    are ringing through my open ears
    exciting and inviting me
    Limitless undying love which
    shines around me like a million suns
    It calls me on and on across the universe

    Jai guru deva om
    Nothing's gonna change my world
    Nothing's gonna change my world
    Nothing's gonna change my world
    Nothing's gonna change my world

    Here Comes the Sun

    http://youtube.com/watch?v=RuUhZxkr194

    Here comes the sun, here comes the sun,
    and I say it's all right

    Little darling, it's been a long cold lonely winter
    Little darling, it feels like years since it's been here
    Here comes the sun, here comes the sun
    and I say it's all right

    Little darling, the smiles returning to the faces
    Little darling, it seems like years since it's been here
    Here comes the sun, here comes the sun
    and I say it's all right

    Sun, sun, sun, here it comes...
    Sun, sun, sun, here it comes...
    Sun, sun, sun, here it comes...
    Sun, sun, sun, here it comes...
    Sun, sun, sun, here it comes...

    Little darling, I feel that ice is slowly melting
    Little darling, it seems like years since it's been clear
    Here comes the sun, here comes the sun,
    and I say it's all right
    It's all right
    Tomorrow Nevers Knows

    Turn off your mind, relax
    and float down stream
    It is not dying
    It is not dying

    Lay down all thought
    Surrender to the void
    It is shining
    It is shining

    That you may see
    The meaning of within
    It is being
    It is being

    That love is all
    And love is everyone
    It is knowing
    It is knowing

    That ignorance and hate
    May mourn the dead
    It is believing
    It is believing

    But listen to the
    color of your dreams
    It is not living
    It is not living

    Or play the game
    existence to the end
    Of the beginning
    Of the beginning
    Of the beginning
    Of the beginning
    Of the beginning
    Of the beginning

    For Al, because I'm so speechless and numb that I can't find even remotely close to the right words. And because the damn thing has been going round and round in my head all day. So I give it up the board.


    I think I've already lost you
    I think you're already gone
    I think I'm finally scared now
    You think I'm weak - but I think you're wrong
    I think you're already leaving
    Feels like your hands are on the door
    I thought this place was an empire
    Now I'm relaxed and I can't be sure

    And I think you're so mean - I think we should try
    I think I could need - this in my life
    And I think I'm scared that I think too much
    I know it's wrong it's a problem I'm kneeling

    If you're gone - maybe it's time to come home
    There's an awful lot of breathing room
    But I can hardly move
    And if you're gone - baby you need to come home
    There's a little bit of something me
    In everything in you

    Well I'll bet you're hard to get over
    Well I'll bet my room just won't shine
    Well I bet my hands I can stay here
    Hell I bet you need - more than you mind

    And I think you're so mean - I think we should try
    I think I could need - this in my life
    And I think I'm scared - that I know too much
    I can't relate and that's a problem I'm feeling

    If you're gone - maybe it's time to come home
    There's an awful lot of breathing room
    But I can hardly move
    If you're gone - baby you need to come home, come home
    There's a little bit of something me
    In everything....yeah

    I think you're so mean - I think we should try
    I think I could need - this in my life
    And I think I'm scared - do I talk too much
    I can't relate that's a problem I'm feeling

    If you're gone - maybe it's time to come home
    There's an awful lot of breathing room
    But I can hardly move
    If you're gone - baby you need to come home, come home
    There's a little bit of something me
    In everything....yeah yeah
    Everything yeah yeah
    Everything yeah yeah
    In you

    CD = No Quarter: Jimmy Page & Robert Plant Unledded.
    This is one beautifully bad-ass deep tune.
    Played on repeat sometimes for hours or days @ a time.


    So throw it down, Cleveland rain
    The queen of love has flown again
    Seek her daughter
    Who must lie beside the thief
    Whose golden tongue she will believe
    Defies the order, ohhh

    Ohh, that is why
    Ohh, that is why

    Shall we dance never stop
    Take my hand and stop the clock
    From turning over
    And spirit weave spirit bend
    In the move that has no end
    We must follow

    Ohhhhhhh
    Ohh, ohh

    Show me your eyes
    Oh, light of the sun
    Touch me with fire
    My mind is undone
    All life inspire
    My freedom has come
    I drift through desire
    My wonderful one

    When you do what you do
    I can never, never, never
    Let you go
    When you feel the way you feel
    You can never, no, never
    Let it show

    Show me your eyes
    Oh, light of the sun
    Touch me with fire
    My mind is undone
    All life inspire
    My freedom has come
    I drift through desire
    My wonderful one

    Oh, hoh-hoh, ah ah-ah,
    Mmm oh oh-oh, oh ohhh ohhh hohhh

    So throw it down, Cleveland rain
    The queen of love has flown again
    Seek her daughter
    Who must lie beneath the thief
    Whose golden tongue she will believe
    Defies the order, oh yeah yeah yeah

    That is why
    That is why
    That is why
    Oh yeah, that is why

    hypnotized

    so that's how you found me
    rain falling around me
    lookin down at a worm
    with a long way to go
    and the traffic was hissing by
    and i was homesick
    and i was high


    i was surrounded by a language
    in which i could say only hello
    and thank you very much
    and you spoke so i could understand
    and i drew a treasure map on your hand

    and you were no picnic
    you were no prize
    but you had just enough pathos
    to keep me hypnotized
    hypnotized

    the map led to an island
    in a sea of store-bought dreams
    where soulless singers sang
    over beats built by machines

    and lovely girls were hovering
    above my head like gulls
    with their long slender necks
    and their delicate skulls

    and i was no picnic
    i was no prize
    but i had just enough sweetness
    to keep you hypnotized
    hypnotized

    so that's how you found me
    rain falling around me
    lookin down at a worm
    with a long way to go

    Delusional
    I believe I can cure it all for you, dear
    Coax or trick or drive or
    drag the demons from you
    Make it right for you sleeping beauty
    Truly thought
    I can magically heal you

    You're far beyond a visible sign of your awakening
    Failing miserably to rescue

    Sleeping Beauty

    Drunk on ego
    Truly thought I could make it right
    If I kissed you one more time to
    Help you face the nightmare
    But you're far too poisoned for me
    Such a fool to think that I can wake you from your slumber
    That I could actually heal you..

    Sleeping Beauty
    Poisoned and hopeless
    You're far beyond a visible sign of your awakening
    Failing miserably to find a way to comfort you

    Far beyond a visible sign of your awakening
    And hiding from some poisoned memory

    Poisoned and hopeless
    Sleeping Beauty
    standin above the crowd
    he had a voice that was strong and loud and
    i swallowed his facade cos i'm so
    eager to identify with
    someone above the crowd
    someone who seemed to feel the same
    someone prepared to lead the way

    GOO GOO DOLLS LYRICS

    Better Days


    And you ask me what I want this year
    And I try to make this kind and clear
    Just a chance that maybe we'll find better days
    Cuz I don't need boxes wrapped in strings
    And desire and love and empty things
    Just a chance that maybe we'll find better days

    So take these words
    And sing out loud
    Cuz everyone is forgiven now
    Cuz tonight's the night the world begins again

    And it's someplace simple where we could live
    And something only you can give
    And thats faith and trust and peace while we're alive
    And the one poor child that saved this world
    And there's 10 million more who probably could
    If we all just stopped and said a prayer for them

    So take these words
    And sing out loud
    Cuz everyone is forgiven now
    Cuz tonight's the night the world begins again

    I wish everyone was loved tonight
    And somehow stop this endless fight
    Just a chance that maybe we'll find better days

    So take these words
    And sing out loud
    Cuz everyone is forgiven now
    Cuz tonight's the night the world begins again
    Cuz tonight's the night the world begins again
    And you ask me what I want this year
    And I try to make this kind and clear
    Just a chance that maybe we'll find better days
    Cuz I don't need boxes wrapped in strings
    And desire and love and empty things
    Just a chance that maybe we'll find better days

    Ben Harper......"Morning Yearning"....so beautiful LIVE

    "Morning Yearning"

    A finger' s touch upon my lips
    It' s a morning yearning
    Pull the courtains shut, try to keep it dark
    But the sun is burning

    The world awakens on the run
    And will soon be yearning
    With hopes of beter days to come
    It' s a morning yearning

    Another day, another chance to get it right
    Must i still be learning
    Baby crying kept us up all night
    With her morning yearning

    Like a summer rose, i' m a victim of the fall
    But i' m soon returning
    Your love' s the warmest place the sun ever shines
    My morning yearning

    Also......Michael Franti & SPEARHEAD with the song and word that is SO needed today "TOLERANCE"

    Michael Franti And Spearhead - Tolerance
    Artist: Michael Franti And Spearhead
    Album: YELL FIRE
    Title: Tolerance



    A child is born, and a mamma's torn
    About the life that it's bound to live
    A sun and moon and a modest home
    Is all they asking the Lord to give
    But politics and big events they never seem to notice the little guy
    So make a plan or simply hold a hand but don't ever be a passer by

    Tolerance or violence and the whole world go to war
    Is one enough or is one too many
    Before we say, "No More"
    Could you ever love a pot of gold?
    Could you ever love another lonely soul?
    Could you ever find a love that was oceans wide?
    Could you ever find love in another stranger's eyes?

    Oh, give a little,
    Tolerance, tolerance
    We need you more and more
    So lend a hand or simply hold a friend
    That’s in need of a life support
    Draw a picture, share a whisper
    Anyway that you can rise above
    And when the end is near who is goanna volunteer
    To be the last one to die for love

    Tolerance or violence and the whole world go to war
    Is one enough or is one too many
    Before we say, "No More"
    no more, no more, no more, no more

    Peace
    *We CAN bomb the World to pieces, but we CAN'T bomb it into PEACE*...Michael Franti

    *MUSIC IS the expression of EMOTION.....and that POLITICS IS merely the DECOY of PERCEPTION*
    .....song_Music & Politics....Michael Franti

    *The scientists of today think deeply instead of clearly. One must be sane to think clearly, but one can think deeply and be quite INSANE*....Nikola Tesla(a man who shaped our world of electricity with his futuristic inventions)

    Tool - Right In Two Lyrics

    Angels on the sideline,
    Puzzled and amused
    Why did Father give these humans free will?
    Now they're all confused

    Don't these talking monkeys know that
    Eden has enough to go around?
    Plenty in this holy garden, silly monkeys
    Where there's one you're bound to divide it,
    Right in two

    Angels on the sideline,
    Baffled and confused
    Father blessed them all with reason
    And this is what they choose
    Monkey killing monkey killing monkey
    Over pieces of the ground

    Silly monkeys give them thumbs,
    They forge a blade, and where there's one
    They're bound to divide it,
    Right in two
    Right in two

    Monkey killing monkey killing monkey
    Over pieces of the ground
    Silly monkeys give them thumbs
    They make a club and beat their brother down
    How they survive so misguided is a mystery
    Repugnant is a creature who would squander
    The ability to live tonight in heaven
    Conscious of his fleeting time here

    Cut it right all, right in two

    Fight over cloud, over earth, over sky
    Fight over life, over blood, over air and light
    Fight over love, over sun, over another
    Fight for each other, for the ones who are rising

    Angels on the sideline again
    Been so long with patience and reason
    Angels on the sideline again
    Wondering when this tug of war will end

    Cut it right all, right in two
    Right in two

    Right in two
