"United States Global Empire"

Our united states of america
Has quickly become a global empire
Come on
See it now for what it really is
Power hungry with nothing much to give
And violent, all in the name of freedom
Freedom is not domination
I believe freedom has got to come from within
Yes it does
And without the gun
Freedom's the ability to feel love for everyone
The empire controls the media
And media controls the world
Come on
Media is the empire's mouth
Capitalist propaganda coming out
And violence, all in the name of freedom
Freedom is not competition
I believe that freedom's got to come from within
Yes it does
Not with the gun
Freedom's the ability to feel love for everyone

"Ballad For My One True Love"

Sleeping in a cherry tree
High above a monastery
Where the bells are ringing slow
To say farewell when hours go
And all the while I'm dreaming of
The ballad for my one true love
Searching for the perfect way to say
I love you
Sweetheart, this is my dream come true
And god bless the babies
That sleep in you
God bless the babies
That sleep in you
Sleeping in a motel room
Underneath a silver moon
With the windows open wide
I can hear the stars go by
And all the while I 'm dreaming of
The ballad for my one true love
Searching for the perfect way to say
I love you
Sweetheart, this is my dream come true
And god bless the babies
That sleep in you
God bless the babies
That sleep in you

"Black Panther"

Black panther defy the power
Fight the violence with nonviolence
What good is justice if the scales are bent
By a criminal government
Think of the dead in vietnam
Think of the dead in birmingham
Think of the freedom we don't understand
Asleep in bed in a stolen land
Responsibility to understand
Responsibility to take a stand
Responsibility to know your place
In the struggle of the human race

"Dr. King"

Dr. king
I think often of you
And the love that you learned
From jesus
Dr. king
I think often of you
And the love that you learned
From jesus
Alabama
Alabama
Bethlehem
Up ahead us we've a mighty task
To love the face behind hatred's mask
'cause on the day we understand our past
God almighty we'll be free at last

"Stars Shine Quietly"

Dawn breaks across our little room
You're sleeping silently and still
I love you and i always will
Good morning baby
Wake up you sleepy little thing
New leaves are blowing on the trees
Today i'll do anything you please
It's a good day baby
Outside the birds begin to sing
And soon the traffic and the heat
Will wake up our quiet city street
And start the day going
I'll wrap my arms around you tight
And fake like i can't tell you're asleep
Come on tell me all about your dreams
It's a dream day baby
Night falls across our little room
You're sleeping silently and still
I love you and i always will
Goodnight baby
I'm gonna marry you one day
Till then let's not forget to play
Over us, in some old fashioned way

"Birds Flying Away"

I left my country when i was nineteen
1925
And drifted to a town on the Cuban coast
Met a woman who became my life
And oh when i saw her
Darkness fled from me
And flew like a blackbird into the sun
On the day she married me
Dear god
Dear god
I remember climbing up those shoulders
Coming up under you like a lion
Coming down like we were dying
Dear god
But now the drumbirds come for me
Oh now the drumbirds come for me
Lord give me forgiveness
For all that i've done
Forgive me now of the weight i bear
Don't keep me on the run
Dear god
Dear god
I remember climbing up those shoulders
Coming up under you like a lion
Coming down like we were dying
Dear god

"The Mountain"

I was waken late the other night
There was a bird trapped in my heart
I tried to open up and let it out
Before it tore my chest apart
I tossed and turned
I prayed for it to stop
I scratched my face and tore my sheets
But I was way too late, my heart was gone
And in its place these bird wings beat
I was waken from a day to day dream
There was a bird trapped in my mind
I tried to open up and let it out
But there was no use in trying
And where I once had a head full of thoughts
Of happiness and daily things
There is only strange darkness now
And in the darkness this bird sings
I'm coming down the mountain
I've been coming for some time
I'm coming down the mountain
And this whole dark valley is mine
Oh ballerina where have you gone
I've been dreaming of you
Honey where have you gone
Oh ballerina where have you gone
I've been dreaming of you
Since the day you were born

"Duluth"

Nobody says the things he says
Nobody moves like he moves
Nobody makes me feel this way
I'm going to marry that boy, oh lord
I'm going to marry that boy
Oh my mother said to me
Girl you better watch yourself
'cause a railroad man is an absent man
I'm going to marry that boy, oh lord
I'm going to marry that boy
We'll live in a little town
North of duluth
Where my grandmother
Lived in her youth
When he comes home at night
He'll call to me
My sweet darling girl
Come lay with me
And oh mother nothing compares
Nothing even comes close
To the way he comes up under me
I'm going to marry that boy, oh lord
I'm going to marry that boy
Marry him in his easter clothes
Marry me in white
Beneath a canopy
Of unearthly light
And our friends and family
Will all come to say
God bless this union
God bless this day
Soon his burdens will be mine
Soon this love will set us free
All my hope lies with him now
I'm going to marry that boy, oh lord
I'm going to marry that boy
I'm going to marry that boy, oh lord
I'm going to marry that boy

"Train Leaving Gray"

Hoping that I see you on the street
It's your kind of day
Nothing has the color of your eyes
Train leaving gray
And i'll never love no one
The way i loved you
I never thought that love
Could come true
Driving round the city in your car
Down low in the seat
Coming home and getting into bed
Smiling in your sleep
I'll never love no one
The way i loved you
You've never loved no one
Have you?
Hoping that I see you on the street
It's your kind of day
Nothing has the color of your eyes
Train leaving gray

"The Light"

So glad I found you
God is around you
And all that's about you
Shines with the light
Love won't deny you
Love won't confine you
Free what's inside you
Shine with the light
