Wide Wide World

Nice evening for a dance
Won't you lend this old friend a hand?
There's a sun that is setting
Across this old desert
And there's no place that I'd rather be..
In this wide, wide world
On the stage where it's all been done
On the planet that held everything that you love
Then just spit it back into the Sun
And in time, we'll all set sail
On a wave that will save the whole world
So that truth lives on
And our kids live the dreams
That we know we have won..
But it's kind of weird out there
In a world where there's so much
And there's still so many people living with nothing
And there's children starving and dying..
In this wide, wide world
On the stage where it's all been done
In the garden that grew everyone that you love
Then just put them back into the ground
In this wide, wide world
On the stage where it's all been done before
In this wide, wide world
On the planet we owe everything that we got
So how did we do this
When we were young and not so smart?
But we weren't so tired, busy, lonely, in-love,
bored, and overwhelmed all at the same time..
It's hard being human
When the love that's in your heart
It don't do nothing to all of those bills adding up
Every month they come higher and higher..
It's hard being human
When the boss says, "Here's your life"
And the only thing that you ever was out searching for
Is the one thing you never did find..
Some peace of mind in all this
And I still think back to the time when we
Thought that nothing's impossible
And all those things that hold us back
From who we are
We could see through it all
We could see through it all
We could see through it all
In this wide, wide world
On the stage where it's all been done
In this wide, wide world
On the planet we owe everything that we got
In this wide, wide world
On the stage where it's all been done
You will know you're home
There's a place at the table we held the whole time.
It's hard being human..

Right Where You Belong
04:15

the way you stood alone
like a star lost in the morning sky
like a wave goodbye
like a stranger in a small tribe
anyway, you stood alone
looking right up at the morning sky
with a tear in your eye
you smile, but your heart don't feel right
as you wander on your own
on a prayer to find yourself a home
well in time, you will know
you are right where you belong
anywhere on this earth
anywhere in the universe
you are right where you belong
you are right where you belong
you are right where you belong

Good Morning
04:01
|
|||
is that you that i see?
when i open my weary eyes
well, i know that it can’t be..
but i know that it’s all
the way it’s supposed to be
but i don’t think that i can take much more
all this love
going nowhere
when i could easily take it away
but i would never be so bold
i could never be so cold
cuz it all boils down to
the fact that
this day is a gift
the air is sweet with life
the trees are breathing
and even without you
it’s still a good morning
so wake up
from this darkness
so we can just up and move on
and get back to doing what we do best..
there’s a spot on the horizon
where light’s just now beginning to break
it’s almost over..
it’s almost over
all the demons in the nighttime
are just now beginning to fade
they’ve had their fun
but now it’s time for them
to understand
that this life won’t end
the air is sweet with life
the trees are breathing
and even without you
it’s still a good morning

The Ways Of Life
06:49
|

Wait a while,
don't hit the road just yet
with the way this night is pouring down..
I'll sing for you
I sing for the ways
and a way to go
I sing so that all the world
will know that you aint done wrong
I'll stay for a while
I don't know where else I would go
but I'll keep listening for her call..
I'd like you to see
all your relatives living well
I'd like to believe
that the world will remember them
I'd like for you to see
all your children together again
We'll have to wait and see
what the future has stored away..
We'll have to wait and see..
What's a girl like you
doing in a world like this?
What's a starry girl like you
doing in a world like this?
We'll have to wait and see..
The ways of life
we lost the way a long time ago
so I wander back to see where
we went wrong
The ways of life
a sacred path in a working world
I wander back to see where
we went wrong
I'm lost at sea
I lost you
I lost the way back
Where'd you go?
Then you came to lift me up
to your place in the clouds
but now I'm back on the ground..
What do I have to do?
What do I have to say girl?
To spend my life with you..
What are you tryna say girl?
What are you tryna do?
What are we tryna save here?
What do we have to lose?
What do you have to laugh about?
What are you smiling for?
What do you have to dream about?
What are you living for?
What will we tell our children
when the forests have all been burned
What will we tell our children?
What do you dream of?
What is the meaning of all of this?
What do you dream of?
Are we imagining all of this?
What do you dream of?
Why do you speak of those things
you know nothing of?
What do you dream of?
and how can you laugh at those things
that hurt so much?
What are you living for?
The ways of life
I wandered back down the only road
I wandered back to see where
we went wrong
The ways of life
A sacred path in a working world
I wander back to see where
we went wrong..
So what are you living for?
These ways of life..

Kings
07:04
|

We were kings
We were young
We were free
and running away from the world
We were kids..
We were young..
We were strong
but lost in the way that it was
We were kings
We were young
We were free
to walk in the ways of our Grandfathers
We were kings
We were young
This is all wrong
and it's time to return
We were kings
We were young
This is all wrong
and it's time to return
We were kings
We were young
We rode free,
on and on
in the land of our Grandfathers
We were kings
We were young
We are gone
but soon
we will rise up and ride again

As Cold As They Come
07:06
|

Every night I lie awake
I'm not sleeping, as you know
got a lot of sheep to count
and I lost track long ago
Don't you hear that lonely ghost?
Not sleeping is all she knows
and she's always waiting patiently
in the shadows of our home
"I will listen for your song"
"I will listen for your name"
"Anyways, I'm sorry, son.."
That's all he had to say
Then walked away from them, alone
Never saw his son again
Parked along the road that stole
all those broken years from him
and he took one last look
and he pulled the trigger quick
Silenced all those lonely thoughts
that now lie buried there with him
And they know that it's wrong
It aint the way it's supposed to be
but that don't keep the hounds at bay
when your only life is breaking..
What I'm telling you is awful,
but what I say, it is so true..
and I can't help but wonder if
there is something more I could have tried to do
Now these nights go on and on..
and all my pain don't mean a thing to you
You're heartless
You're as cold as they come
How do you look now?
I would love to picture you
I can't recall the night I was leaving
Out there sleeping in the cold
By her grave
With my head upon the stone
and my arms wide open
as above, so below
But you don't see outside your lies
You don't know these things you do
I already seen you leaving
First train out of town
and though this road is dark and lonely
if you've got love, you'll make it through
This is the part we all fear most
But don't you worry, don't you cry
If you've got love, you'll make it through
This night is long and lonely
Only Love will make it through
Don't you worry, Don't you cry
If you've got love, you'll make it through
This life is quite a journey
Only love will make it through
Only love
Only love
Only love
But you can't undo all the hurt
for the best things in this life
without first losing the feeling
of conquering that night
Only love will make it through
Only love will make it through

Through it all
Through it all
Through it all
Through it all
Through it all
Through it all
Love will prevail
Through it all
Your eyes opened wide
like the day when you were born
And all of us just cried and cried
the day that we found out
Said, "Goodbye" for the last time
as I waved from afar,
but it's all right
because everyone is waiting for you there..
Your eyes opened wide
like the way when you were young
It's all right
because everyone is waiting for you there
Said, "Goodbye" for the last time
as I waved from afar,
but it's all right
because everyone is waiting for you there..
It's all right
It's all right now
It's all right
It's all right now..

Our Family
07:02

Jamie, Where'd you run off to now?
Jamie, eldest child of mine
Jamie, the sweetest song I'll write
and I know it won't be easy
when I'm gone
and you can't just come with me..
And in a breath it will seem
like lifetimes unbounded
though nothing has changed
and the room has gone silent
I sit here alone
In the sound of my crying
Screaming your name
until the sky turns to violet
I do believe that I knew you better
and I do not see that as you do
but what do we know?
Because words mean nothing
So how would the heart know any better?
And I know you're listening
I know you hear every word that I say
I know you're listening
I know you hear every word that I say
and you know that I will always be around
(I'll be there if I'm not here, and I'll be here if I'm not there)
and I know it hurts to move on
but you've got to keep giving
because this life of ours
is a life that's worth living
it's the gift that we're given
but know in the end
that the door will unlock
and we'll begin again
and the life that you make here
is the key to the places
you know as your loved ones
and familiar faces
so take real good care of it
and live in your heart
it's your actions that speak
that's the way we were taught
I know you're listening
I know you hear every word that I say
and you know that means the world to me
as I stand facing that way
(your Grandfather stands there, facing this way)
(Hau, Tunkasida! Was'te Yedo)
To walk and to live peacefully
that's the way we were taught
And I'll always be around..
But I still sit weeping alone,
as our family is torn down
Was drawn out of nothing
and built up from the ground
We survived through the time
when darkness was all that we
knew in our hearts when
the night came to fall..
Now it's come to this point and
you're just giving up?
Well you know that your Mama
didn't raise you for nothing..
She gave you the world
and she gave the world meaning
Just know that I'm with you
(not just when you're dreaming)
I know you're waiting and waiting
and it never does come back
but I learned the song that
Will give us our love back
and you know I'll sing it
When the Spirits come listen
In divine alignment
to grant all our wishes
but those
words don't mean nothing
if not for your heart
It's your actions that speak
That's the way we were taught
and she said,
"Well, my son.. That's some fine work you've done.
and I know this well, because I taught you myself."
and he said,
"Well, my son.. That's some fine work you've done.
and I know this well, because I taught you myself."

Borrowed Time
07:34

Lay beside me
Come get a little love
Don't you know it's never-ending?
Just let me know and I'll be
right there by your side
and you'll know that it's understood..
Every night I cry myself to sleep
Longing only for
The only thing I'll ever need
Every day I push myself right past
the thought of giving up
This illusion - it won't last
Every thing in this life is borrowed
and come tomorrow you might give it away
Everything in this life is borrowed
and all that money and that gold aint worth a thing..
Break out the drum
We gotta do this for the kids
They got every right to wonder
Why the hell this is happening..
And tell me something,
in all your great philosophy
aint there something about
how we should always try
to help out those in need?
Everything in this life is borrowed
And all that money and that gold
it aint worth a thing
Everything in this life is borrowed
and all that power that you stole
is gonna be returned someday
Everything in this life is borrowed
and all that money that you hold
can't buy a thing here
Everything in this life is borrowed
and
All that sorrow that you've known
is gonna be okay, my dear..
Everything in this life is borrowed
and all that money and that gold
aint worth a thing
Everything in this life is borrowed
and all that power that you hold
it don't mean a goddamn thing
Everything in this life is borrowed
and all that money that you hold
it can't buy a thing
Everything in this life is borrowed
From a power that's
Ensouled with every name
