Just come softly to me in the shelter of my heart
I watch you from the window working this vicious road
You shudder when the wind blows girl you're looking beat and cold
Don't know you situation but you look so alone to me
In my imagination this is what the message reads
Reaching out calling out for your love babe just come softly to me
Reaching out calling out for your love for your love babe in the shelter of my heart
Trust my intuition you're the one I've got to know
I give without condition wouldn't try to save your soul
Money or reputation doesn't mean a thing to me
Special communication it's the only thing we need
Reaching out, calling out just come softly to me
Calling out, hear me now in the shelter of my heart
Reaching out calling out for your love babe (in the shelter of my heart)
(Reaching out, here me now calling out do you read me)
Reaching out calling out for your love for you love babe just come softly to me
(Reaching out, here me now)
Here there is no hurt to feel here is safe for lips unsealed in the shelter of my heart
Reaching out calling out for your love babe just come softly to me
Reaching out calling out for your love for your love babe in the shelter of my heart

If I had a child, I would shelter it from harm
If I had a child, I would hold it in my arms
If I had a child, I would love it as my own
If I had a home
If I had a mom, I would shelter her from harm
If I had my mother, she would never lose her grace
If I had a mother, she would shelter me from harm
Oh, if I had a mom
If I had a love, I would shelter it from a broken heart
If I had a heart, I'd surrender it to my love
If I had my father, he would smile
If I had my dad, he'd be so kind
If I had a dad, he would tell me I was good

How the mind can wander
How the heart can stray
Suddenly You're on the edge of darkness
How it makes me ponder
How I'm led away
Down a path that leaves me worn and tarnished
Battling with the will within
I have known all along that I should lean on You
'Cause I'm never strong enough
To fight it on my own
Shelter me, the ways of the world are at my feet
Shelter me from the desires that deceive
You are the fortress I need
Shelter me
Well, how the mind can alter
How the heart can change
When You set Your sights on holiness
And though at times You falter
It's the only way
You can find a place of peace to rest
Safe from danger surrounding me
Safe from looming defeat
When temptation is at my door
Lord, I need a harbor be my soul's retreat
Shelter me, the ways of the world are at my feet
Shelter me from the desires that deceive
You are the fortress I need
Shelter me, yeah
You will never leave me stranded, fending for myself
When the enemy advances, You are there to help
Standing in the gap for me, whenever I grow weak
You are my deliverer, the refuge that I seek
I should lean on You
'Cause I'm never strong enough to fight it on my own
Shelter me, the ways of the world are at my feet
Shelter me from the desires that deceive
You are the fortress I need
Shelter me
Shelter me
Shelter me

You've been trying to believe in what you do
Always looking for a reason to go through
This incompatibility has
Got you focused on another dream, and yeah
Giving meaning to the purpose just don't kick
All this running round in circles makes you sick
There's allot of technicalities and
There's allot of things you just don't see, and yeah
Cause I want to know -
Will you ever find the way:?
Follow your heart, follow your senses
Walking a one way road - longing shelter
It might be hard, it might be easy
Walking a one way road - longing shelter from the storm
Times are changing but song remains the same
Kind of dated, kind of retro, kind of lame
Do you really even understand why
Nothing's going quite the way you planned, and yeah
Are you ready to indulge into the truth -
Of the consequences captured by your youth?
Take a good look at the way you're going
Are you moving without even knowing? Yeah!
Cause I want to know -
Will you ever find the way:?
Follow your heart, follow your senses
Walking a one way road - longing shelter
It might be hard, it might be easy
Walking a one way road - longing shelter from the storm
A one way road - longing shelter from the storm
A one way road - longing shelter from the storm
From the storm:.
Cause I want to know -
Will you ever find the way:?
Follow your heart, follow your senses
Walking a one way road - longing shelter
It might be hard, it might be easy
Walking a one way road - longing shelter from the storm
A one way road - longing shelter from the storm
A one way road - longing shelter from the storm

To all who are looking down
Holding on to hearts still wounding
For those who've yet to find it
The place is near where love is moving
Cast off the robes you're wearing
Set aside the names that you've been given
May this place of rest in the fold of your journey
Bind you to hope
You will never walk alone
In the shelter of each other
We will live
We will live (Never walk alone)
In the shelter of each other
We will live
We will live (Your arms are all around us)
If our hearts are turned to stone
There is hope we know the rocks will cry out
And the tears aren't ours alone
Let them fall into the hands that hold us
Come away from where you're hiding
Set aside the lies that you've been living
May this place of rest in the fold of your journey
Bind you to hope
We will never walk alone
In the shelter of each other
We will live
We will live (In the shelter)
In the shelter of each other
We will live
We will live (You will never walk alone)
In the shelter of each other
We will live
We will live (In Your arms are all around us)
In the shelter of each other
We will live
We will live (In Your arms are all around us)
If there is any peace
If there is any war
We must all believe
Our lives are not our own
We all belong
God has given us each other
And we will never walk alone
In the shelter of each other
We will live
We will live (We will never walk alone)
In the shelter of each other
We will live
We will live (In the shelter)
In the shelter of each other
We will live
We will live (Your arms are all around us)
In the shelter of each other
We will live
We will live (In Your arms are all around us)
In the shelter of each other
We will live
We will live (In Your arms are all around us)
In the shelter of each other
We will live
We will live (In Your arms are all around us)
In the shelter of each other
We will live
We will live

They're crowded into the smallest spaces
While outside, all of nature cries
It's known to be cruel and unfair
But there is no place to hide
Oh, I've seen a part of people that I never really wanted to share
Oh, I've seen a part of people that I never knew was there
Shelter, give them shelter from the coming storm
Shelter, give them shelter from the coming storm
I can't sleep - haunted by their faces
The sadness in their eyes
It hurts so much to see them helpless
It makes me want to cry
But still there is so much left unanswered
For so many innocent lives
They closed the door and are letting nobody in
And only the strong will survive
Shelter, give them shelter from the coming storm
Give them shelter, give them shelter from the coming storm
I've seen the anger and I've seen all the dreams
And I've watched their existence torn apart at the seams
And though I may seem helpless
I will do all that I can do
I've seen a part of people that I never really wanted to share
Oh, I've seen a part of people that I never knew was there
Shelter, give them shelter from the coming storm
Give them shelter, give them shelter from the coming storm
Shelter, give them shelter from the coming storm

You never change
You stay the same
You are my hope of glory
I will never have to be afraid
Through the course of time and all my life
You've been my place of shelter
Here beneath You love I will remain
I will sing that
CHORUS:
You are my refuge
In You alone I place my trust
Here in the shadow of Your wing
You are my refuge
The maker of the stars above
Still You make Your home inside of me
You shelter me
You are Lord of all
My mind recalls
The times that You've been faithful
Now I know Your love is here to stay
Through the course of time and all my life
You've been my place of shelter
Here beneath Your love I will remain
I will sing that

As a youth I knew it, and yes I did bend
I wanted acceptance and friends
Confidence broken from repeated peer pressure
I'd give in again and again
And yes, I wanted love but I loved what's inside
And I remeber the day when I drew that line
Between following my heart and someone else
And gaining some friends but losing myself
I refuse to bend just to impress a few
I refuse to be the one you want me to
I refuse to live the life you do, so small
Sometimes it's best not to fit in this world at all
And still as I grow, I smell defeat
As twisted shepherds herd up their sheep
Insteda of challenging we lay fast asleep
When sewing apathy, disaster's what reaps
Afraid, alone and out of place, but I refuse
I won't get lured into their race, I refuse
How could a man go on and live with himself
Giving up discrimination
Our minds have been molded from all we've imbibed
We still think we make our choices in life
Media barrage assults our minds
Personality pruned while we're still in our prime

In the public eye theyÅ e fabricated you.
Chose your selling points to sell.
Became an object they can hate or pursue.
But no one asked just how you felt.
But donÅ  you think I feel?
DonÅ  you think IÅ  real?
Are you so dull that you donÅ  have a clue?
And I donÅ  think itÅ  right, this invasion in my life.
No, one day youÅ l feel what IÅ  going through.
In the public eye youÅ e always on stage.
TheyÅ e magnified your every move.
Free to roam around in your golden cage.
But you better watch just what you do.
And youÅ e bound by their chains,
youÅ e not allowed to change.
In the public eye.
And youÅ e living a life you must defend in the public eye.
In this world you exchange the right to know whoÅ  your real friend
and why itÅ  a loserÅ  game that I canÅ  win,
I can only try.

Born selfish and ignorant
Abd my school gave me knowledge
But never any wisdom
And in addition the television programmed my brain
Through it's constant repetition
Misdirected infected with mundane roles and goals and heroes
And althought life really has purpose
I wasted my youth in a social circus
Told what is best for me
But I've seen their destiny
Our leaders ignominy
Reconfirm my concern to rearrange and change my life
I'll vow
I'll vow right here
And now no more time wasting just edification purification
We can direct our future
This life, this life has no meaning
Unless we grow
I know there's no use for all this screaming
Unless we grow
Born foolish dull and shelf absorbed
But my life's dedicated to reformation and education
In a nation that thinks great pleasure is a Disney vacation
I never fit in to their system
I couldn't understand people
Wasting their time with so called love
And ddrugs and occupations
While outside the window is a crumbling nation
So I searched for sincerity and lost popularity
Well what do they want from me?
If I lost friends they never were my friends at all!
To find the real me through introspection
And austerity is my life's mission my ambition
I've got a vision to change my destiny
Things don't change - we must change

Earth can be a lonely place
Blank stares on the people's face
I contemplate their pointless chase
That traps me and my friends
Is this the place where I belong?
Where did we go wrong?
Will it last real long?
Are you too singing this song?
Sometimes I feel it
Sometimes I feel all so alone
And yes yes I must confess
I feel so far from home
Mantra take me home I trust you
Mantra take me home
Take me to the place where I belong
Life's a puzzle the thoughtful solve
But most choose not to get involved
Because of this we don't envolve
Just look around my friend
And life's meaning can be hard to grasp
All that's certain is it won't last
We're all spirits looking for transcendence
Oh mantra grant me tha independence

So weÅ e flying down the freeway,
but we donÅ  know where weÅ e headed.
DonÅ  ask for directions, no one knows.
Flying to our destination when weÅ e there, will we regret it?
DonÅ  ask all these questions, letÅ  just go.
Something you just canÅ  explain.
Get it all but weÅ e insane.
I see loss disguised as gain.
Yes I want the reason why weŠe running ††ound this earth in fear of a connection with ourselves.
My greatest fear in life is all IÅ e worked for has no worth.
And not to recognize whatÅ  my real wealth.
Still our wheels are going round.
My feet never touch the ground.
Am I lost or am I found?
Yes I know I reach things.
That will perish in my hands.
Nothing hereÅ  forever that I know.
But life is moving quickly ad I cannot comprehend.
Yes I stumble but hope that I grow.

I see a trail, a grudging light.
ItÅ  burning bright, it takes me home again.
And I canÅ  understand the plan.
I try to fight but I cannot contend.
A magnetic force, itÅ  a true north.
What is its source, it is a friend?
But more than once I have begun to feel that I will easily transcend.
Look away. No hope is lost I never fear.
That IÅ l be desperate, left out on my own.
I feel it yeah, but soon realized the whole time I never was alone.
Busy city, crowded clubs,
or touring in a van away from home.
If we can listen we will hear.
A voice that will teach and help us grow.
I donÅ  know what youÅ e been through but my guess too is life is always rough.
It leaves us bruised and bloodied,
it makes us hard.
It makes our skin real tough.
When my world crumbles on me as it does each week.
It is not the ed. I look inside, I listen too.
...uz IÅ  sure thereÅ  an ally within.

We were friends since school
The punks were never cool
But we didn't care anyway
And even in the scene
When it was cool to be mean
We walked the other way
Rebels from birth this world had no worth
But then you went astray one day
And I don't think it's right
That you gave up the fight
And walked away; you ran away
We could of made that change,
We could of set this world,
This world on fire
What happened to your desire
How did you think that I would feel?
Didn't you think I was for real?
I know it's been so long since then
But It's time I sent this letter to my friend
We had dreams and schemes
That they laughed about
But we didn't care anyway
I feel hurt and confused
When I think of you
Where do you stand my friend is it too late?
We stayed up all night and talked about life
We seemed so sober those days
We stood side by side
And I don't know why you threw it away
What can you say?
Well I'm gonna make that change
I'm gonna set this world
This world on fire
Whou cares about your pretty desires

I have dream but it seems I try to get ahead,
you try to get in between.
You deride but my cry inside.
YouÅ e got o do what you love.
Or youÅ e not satisfied.
Killer of my dreams.
You know exactly what I mean.
Killer of my dreams,
I wonÅ  let you get inside of me.
Get off my back, I know you lack.
I know inside youÅ e rotting.
And thatÅ  why you attack.
Rise above, give some love.
The more we give, the more we get.
The less we need back.

Here I am, a different man. filled with distractions.
Became the world that moves right outside my door.
Make a plan if I can or live with the hand.
That was dealt after a fair reaction.
YouÅ e no idea just whatÅ  in store.
If thereÅ  only today, tomorrowÅ  a throw away.
YouÅ e got something to say, never just throw away.
Walk along, donÅ  be alone, a rolling stone.
ItÅ  not, not just today.
Wasting time, I lost my mind.
Each day is passing.
Each moment just makes up the total in the end.
You sew, you reap, you laugh, you weep.
HopeÅ  it forever lasting.
Hope itÅ  not futile in the end.

I was concerned and I knew I stood firm
So much that I learned, you were green
Needed self esteem but I was too firm
Then ego crept right up on me
And misdirected me
From the real wealth I wanted to possess
Now I'm walking 2 steps back
A little less attack
Please let me confess
All I know is I know so little
And that I know I know so well
But I think if I could walk that middle
I'd wipe the slate
And try to start all over again
Infatuation, renunciation, just intoxication
Austerity without humility, one source of ruination
And yes, there grew sincerity but what I didn't see
Was something growing right by it's side
Standing with a righteous twist
Getting people pissed
I was riddled with pride
Maybe I was wrong
Maybe I came on too strong
And I know how I treated you
But I couldn't see, so forgive me
For thinking I was better than you
I need a mirror to see what you can see
We better get mirrors or we'll never know our real identity
And it hurts so much to look right at yourself
Yeah, it hurts the most, please let me confess

EgoÅ  been my hurdle, I ca see.
I put the microscope on me.
And focus I, I would never win.
Thought pride was good, it makes us small.
Like tiny mice against the wall.
I was never wrong song after song.
And it hurts to say I mightÅ e done things differently.
And it hurts because you know I canÅ  change history.
I never heard, I never cared.
Threw all advice into the air.
Ad walked right on by, not telling lies.
Oblivious, I plowed on through as the mud pulled off my shoes.
It was deep, the hill was steep.
I was bold, I thought I knew.
Sitting high without a clue but empires fall that once stood tall.
I keep my feet down on the ground.
I use my ears, I shut my mouth.
Head out of the clouds,
I donÅ  talk so loud.

Left many friends behind
I think thay went and thought I lost my mind
But for years I felt confined
With all the small thinking of our time
And I'm convinced nobody would ever have a clue
Of all thet I've been through
Dropped it all, let it fall and I ran to you
The smartest thing I'd ever do
Hated to love, I was concerned
About living life and getting burned
A repeat performance going on in my life
Hated to love but still I'd yearn
And I've returned to relearn
How to live a life worth living
And I wanted to confide
Not to hide but my friends and family
Just couldn't hear my side
So I walked right on by
And tried to live a life
Where I'd finally be satisfied
Most won't agree with me, that's ok by me
'Cuz I don't agree with most of the population
And popularity don't mean so much to me
I can't invest in their success, it needs interpretation
Seasons change, night turns to day
Why must it all just slip away ?
Dreams all fade, create yesterday
But I know this can stay

In my world where I'm the king I can't tolerate anything
And because of this I'm suffering all along
In my universe I can't be wrong
All those opposed just move along
Cross my path and you'll be gone
C'mon
Empathy, empathy will I emphatize?
Emphatize can I look through your eyes
I'll find different paradigms
And different minds never two of kind
And it'll bring me back down to size again
I live in a world where I'm the center of it
And everyone else seem so small
That was the beginning of my downfall
I never seen through your lens friend
And I'm gonna break if I don't brend
Is it too late to make amends?
No!

Sages recommend
Increase our meditation
Decrease bodily demands
Pilgrams in the streets
Bare feet, they stop and drop and roll
Right in the sacred sand and I know
Some can't understand the power of the holy land
Unless they live it first hand
But I chose it instead of this world you see
And all of it's insanity
But now I sit inside
Confind and I pray I'll return soon
On the eleventh day of the moon
Cows graze in the shade
Made from temples greeting sunrise
As ladies sing their morning prayers
Bathing in the waves
On Yamuna's shore, I smile more
And I breathe deep 'cause I have no cares
And I know
Nirupadhi-Karunena Sri-Saci-Nandena
Tvayi Kapati-Satho 'pi Tvat-Priyenarpito 'smi
Iti Khalv Mama Yogyayogatam Tamagrihnan
Nija-Nikata-Nivasam Dehi Govardhana Tvam
Let me go

I have nerve,
you donÅ  deserve to take what I dish out or stick with me.
IÅ  not too bright I just lose my sight of what I strive for and want to be.
So I want you to know that IÅ  willing to go.
So I want you to know although I know to run,
will never be the answer.
ThereÅ  nothing to say,
I just want to bury my head I shame.
No card I can play,
I fold my hand in this game.
Now itÅ  clear your worst fear.
YouÅ e in a web and desperate to be free.
Well beyond cruel,
IÅ  not that jewel you thought you had discovered when you found me.

I've always wanted more
I couldn't settle for second best in life
And end up like the rest
I know out of thousands
Only one will come forward
A narrow gate that I'm gonna go for
I'll try but I may not succeed
But if I know I took that chance
Well that's all I need
I'll let the world disagree
But I'm gonna take that chance
The hour glass drops sand
As we waste our time
We stay on standby
As time destroys all in it's way
Wasting days
Be we've got to move
Success and failurein this world
All the same mere games that won't remain
So what's getting ahead unless we transcend?
For that I'm gonna try and try again

The galaxy, no boundaries
My tiny eyes can never see
Human paradigm, that's asinine
With a broad mind I'm sure we'll find different realities
Infinitely small, we think we can understand it
Go out and stand tall, call their bull
There's more beyond this planet Earth
Mystics knew the subtle view
And modern man, well he's got no clue
And on my back I stare through the cold night air
As the moon and stars witness our egocentrycity
God and godesses revealed
The old world knew it to be real
We've lost connection with the sky
And if they know, they conceal
Autonomy fanasty's their deal
In a generation too busy to ask why

I have been born in the age of thoughtlessness
And I too commit the crime of living in this world
Considering all to be mine
The earth the air the sun the trees
Like a body all work in perfect harmony
Will we fit into the system or create the disease?
Our greatest wealth it has been lost
I'd like to get it back at any cost
We dare live in this world without appreciation
Appreciate it's getting late
We've sealed our fate with all the damage that has been done
So much destruction so a few can have some fun
I contemplate and I dedicate
To getting myself out of this pathetic state
Of living without giving in a world
Where we've forsed to become so numb
And despite all say I get carried away
I took for granted it's easier not to think than to appreciate
And my cultures disease has got the best of me
And now I pray that it's not too late

No decoration on, no cake
Nobody remembered this important date
Guitar, pen, brain start to contemplate
They're the only 3 here
For this joyous celebration
Because I'm self-absorbed, I get upset
Mad at the world, how could they forget ?
I was alone at birth, I'll be alone at death
Hope I won't be alone at my final destination
Never really thought it would've happened to me
But that night I say by the telephone
Never really thought it would've happened to me
I spent my birthday all alone
Birth's a costume with a genetic script
We play some role that we'd like to fit
And never admit that we're full of it
And live life in some sort of dazed hallucination
I'll never lament because life is brief
Our bodies are changing like the autumn leaf
It's said that time is the greatest thief
And beats and cheats this entire population
But it's alright, home tonight, just suits me fine
I don't mind spending time with my mind all alone

My own mind, can't go on noddin', something's wrong,
I must stand up, if there's a problem excavate it before infection
and we're out of luck, no, I don't mind making enemies,
they become who they wanna be, I won't be scared to disagree,
my heart and mind direct me,
room to breathe and to see anomalies in front of me,
opinions come like some disease, it's my life for me to live
Room to breathe and to see we're different people totally
and I'm not scared to disagree but it's my life for me to live
I don't boast many good qualities, my faults are many,
it's easy to see, I smile inside cause I walked my own path
despite the insults heaped upon me, no, I don't mind making enemies,
they become who they wanna be, I won't be scared to disagree,
my heart and mind direct me,
room to breathe and to see anomalies in front of me,
opinions come like some disease, it's my life for me to live
Room to breathe and to see we're different people totally
and I'm not scared to disagree but it's my life for me to live
We march in line
Step in time, room to breathe, use your mind
Or you're left behind, room to breathe
And I know that they will find peace of mind if I go on,
won't be tired, please, so you ask but me, my own mind,
can't go on noddin', something's wrong, I must stand up,
if there's a problem excavate it before infection and we're out of luck,
no, I don't mind making enemies, they become who they wanna be,
I won't be scared to disagree, my heart and mind direct me,
room to breathe and to see anomalies in front of me,
opinions come like some disease, it's my life for me to live
Room to breath and to see we're different people totally

Zoom the lens right in, dissect your best friend.
You know that you were born for me and I was born for you.
Your soul is old.
Mine is so cold and I know what I right but sometimes itÅ  so hard to do.
How many chances I get?
How many crimes you forget?
How many times before you just walk away?
Salty knife in my heart, nothing tears us apart.
How many time before you just walk away?
What can I say?
You feel betrayed.
How may time before you just walk?
You were born to give,
and I pray IÅ l live up to what I want to become and what you need from me.
Layers of mistakes, give the heart a break again.
All you ask me for is some security.

IÅ e got to concentrate on priorities.
CanÅ  negate what means the most to me.
WhatÅ  our fate?
WhatÅ  our destiny?
Start with each momentÅ  activity.
I try, I try, I try, I try
But whatÅ  important slips right by.
When 20 summers pass and theyÅ l go fast.
Will I look back and be satisfied within my heart
And at peace within my mind?
When 20 summers fly, fly on by
Will I like what I am and who I am or will I even give a damn?
We focus time on what matters least and our reward, a catastrophe.
Looking back, what feels good to me?
Oh, the value of integrity.

We gave into our passions but were never satisfied
And all the public pressure made us only live a lie
Gave into scripting persons who never wished our best
How much will we give in till we become what we detest ?
So I've gotta say: time's ticking away
I say let's take success in our hands
Let's start taking command
All our short term pleasure is our driving force in life
Which leads us to more suffering, tragedy and vice
Everyone's a victim, only few are safe
So we must take control before we become total slaves
Let's start taking command of life
We're living this life like we watch tv, just see
I can't let this world react upon me, not me
Grab a hold of opportunity at any cost

Born ignorant of our higher needs.
Lost and trying to proceed.
No direction, just helplessly.
Trying to break free attracted to all that fades.
The temporary world betrays.
And sucks us in, we stand amazed.
And lose our sense as if weÅ e crazed.
We are spirits blinded by this world that shines
and steals our common sense away.
We are spirits blinded but I want to see the light of day.
Looking for a different high.
More tied up than before we tried.
And if we knew we always lied.
Hurts too much to let it by.
We are spirits but we forget.
And love becomes full of regrets.
To embrace this worldÅ  our biggest threat when in reality we havenÅ  met.

A show in Buffalo and you would never know the effect it had right on me.
And everything was fine, so many kids in line.
I was feeling good within myself.
Then six guys ad a gun and I saw people run.
Baseball bats were swinging and little kids went down as they beat them to the ground.
And I stood stunned just singing??Ÿake me today?br> Closed my eyes and prayed.
As the Song of Brahma was running through my mind.
It never seems that this worldÅ  a dream and K.C. looked at me and said,
?•ife and death, itŠ just a matter of time.?br> Ran to the van but we were blocked in.
We were helpless and prayed for connection.
So we all gathered ††ound chanting transcendental sound for shelter and protection.
But my number was up next and they beat me with a stick.
My own blood made me blind.
They beat me from behind but running through my mind The Holy NameÅ  reflection.
Kneeling on the floor and bleeding more and more.
But now the dramaÅ  ending.
WeÅ e all players on a stage filled with joy and rage.
But he curtainÅ  soon descending.
...uz in this world thereÅ  death and danger at every step.
So whatÅ  our meditation?
I had a precious gift.
I knew my mind was fixed,
a chance to view perfection.

I feel the pressure pinching
I feel it strangulate
Although I'm on a path
I get enticed to deviate
Sometimes life is peircing
Just want to intoxicate
And run away from all the pain
And no longer participate, enough
Contemplation, meditation, restoration
No more frustration
We work until we break, I say break away
How much more can I take ?
Rejuvenate
I know this world can get me back up against the wall
Sometimes I feel as if there's gonna be a brawl
Sometimes I throw my hands up
Sometimes I sit and cry
And wonder if there's one that cares
If I live or die, enough
We give ourselves
But we major in many minor things
There's no one else
To change the way we're living
We must be the one

So proud of this modern society, with all of our brains what did we gain with our technology? Better wars, cars and VCR's is what they're building for me; but this world's not getting satisfied it's building more greed. And TV that's for me, our advance communication. Wasting my time, mind and imagination. Station to station - mind devastation. Polluting our youth across the nation. And this is what they're calling civilization. Our leaders push us forward to annihilation. Nation against nation, this is our creation; intoxicate, inebriate to keep from contemplation. Doctors work on cures for diseases we created; from cancer causing chemicals we dumped and then ate. The birds and bees and trees are becoming outdated, 'cause modern man's advanced mind is too sophisticated. So proud of modern sexual liberation with broken families and unwanted population. Expect three out of four divorces in any given situation; while the kids are left out for their street education. And so called freedom is obtained by good looks or a gun; and money changes laws no matter what they've done. And the greatest goal in life is to have some fun; at anybody's cost to be number one. Well I'm sick of these lies and some denial; if we care out there lets make our arrival. Our twentieth century advancement will go on for a while; how much more will we destroy in the name of survival?

Not a hermit, not depressed,
don't mind bein' here comfortless,
sometimes I know it's best,
just sit here with my mind
Life is now and zooming by,
the moment is the highest high,
no waitin', hatin', live it, give a try
In the van on tour again seems like a moving picture show,
we must let go, excited senses overwhelmed I float on air with nothing below,
we must let go so take the car tonight, I'll be beyond alright,
missed the party and the hype, it's more than alright, just sittin' with myself
(Yeah yeah oh) [x2]
The value, I sit here with myself
To be alone but not lonely, to be the one that comforts me,
my attachments spell catastrophe I've seen and I have spoken,
I have heard, now it's time to live that word,
it's so plain to see what is absurd, just see
In the van on tour again seems like a moving picture show,
we must let go, excited senses overwhelmed I float on air with nothing below,
we must let go so take the car tonight, I'll be beyond alright,
missed the party and the hype, it's more than alright, just sittin' with myself
(Yeah yeah oh) [x2]
Without me in the clouds
Will you know when I'm broke?
I'm comin' down
If I can let go
There's a value, I sit here with myself
Why not, there's time sittin' with myself,

Inventory, desires and dreams
My dreams, my story, my fire, my theme
My theme gettin' focused on what I really call my own self,
fine tunin' me and no one else, no one else
The purpose, the passion, the reason to go on,
the explanation why our drive can be so strong
The purpose, the passion, the why I sing this song
gives me the strength that kept me goin' for so long
Necessity, a chance to touch my soul
My soul, what's good for me, firmin' up these goals
These goals and if I fall short I'll know I was reachin' high, high, high,
if I fall short I'll die knowin' that I tried, I tried
The purpose, the passion, the reason to go on,
the explanation why our drive can be so strong
The purpose, the passion, the why I sing this song
gives me the strength that kept me goin' for so long
If it's always feel that, face it
Just accept it that I had to try
Yes, I know that I won't make it
But the passion is what's keepin' me alive
The purpose, the passion, the reason to go on,
the explanation why our drive can be so strong
The purpose, the passion, the why I sing this song
