Be Lived
04:57
|

Be led, be taught, be shown
Be seen, be heard, be known
Be love, be love, be lived
Be held, be safe, be sound
Believe you’ll find your ground
Be love, be love, be lived
Be touched, be moved, be undone
‘Cause something has begun
Be love, be love, be lived
Be still, be here, be new
Belong to what is true
Be love, be love, be lived

Living Will
05:15
|

Living will lift me up
Living will fill my cup
Living will bring me
such sweetness and joy
Living will take me down
Living will shake the ground
And living will bring
much sorrow and pain
So no heroics please
Just let me sail away
on a warm summer breeze
Living will let me know
A truth to tell, a way to go
Yes living may show me
all I’ll ever need
to grow a living seed
Then living to my surprise
will take away the thin disguise
then send me crying
and flying off in space
to save another face
So no heroics please
Just let me sail away
on a warm summer breeze
Living will set free
(and I won’t take it personally)
when in dying I fulfill
my Living Will …
No heroics please
I am still at ease
Just let me fly away
on a warm summer breeze

Let It Be Wrong
05:35
|

Let it be wrong (come on now we can do it)
Let it be wrong, and help each other through it
If we let it be wrong then maybe something new –
something truer might come along
So let’s let it be wrong
Another night staring into empty space
The darkness a door we keep trying to open
Morning comes and the body falls away
and I ask you to stay in the longing
How did we decide what mattered then
And can we let it go again and again
And find a place we can give from
She might show us the way

He's so easy
He's such an easy man
Oh he's so easy
He's such an easy man
And I tell him everything
'Cause I know I can
He's so easy
And his lovin' is for free
Ya he's so easy
And his lovin' is for free
And he's never satisfied
Until he satisfies me
All my friends ask me
Where'd you find that easy man
Well all my friens as me
Where'd you find such an easy man
Well I say it's no secret
Any easy woman can

More Like Me
05:52
|
|||
Think how it would be if you were more like me
All that you would see if you were more like me
All the things you’d know, the places you could go
if only you were more like me
Think what you could do if you were more like me
(Well here’s a little clue) if you were more like me
you’d know right from wrong, and how to get along
if only you were more like me
I can see you’re working hard and looking at your stuff
Well just keep tryin’ sweetheart
I’ll let you know when it’s enough
(ooh more, ooh more like me)
You would have more friends if you were more like me
Be liked by other men if you were more like me
You would be more fun and more pleasing to everyone
if only you were more like me
You’d be more fulfilled if you were more like me
More creative and more skilled if you were more like me
A career that works with more benefits and perks
if only you were more like me
I see you’re really changing, and growing year to year
And yet, for some strange reason
you are boring me to tears
You’d be more direct if you were more like me
And you might get more respect if you were more like me
You’d have a thicker skin, and all you need to win
if only you were more like me
You would be more kind if you were more like me
Have more peace of mind if you were more like me
You’d be more aware and more sensitive, I swear
if only you were more like me
But wait now my darling, you’re not looking so good
Could it be you’re not hearing me? (I feel so misunderstood!)
So just think what you could do if you were more like me
Well you’d be a better you if you were more like me
Think how you could feel; more authentic and more real
You could be in touch; stop demanding quite so much
We could communicate, and the sex would be so great
You would be more wise (Eckart Tolle in disguise)
You’d be more evolved; all you’re problems would be solved!
So just get over yourself, so you can be more like me

All of That
04:08
|
|||
You are all of that
You are all the things that you may think of
and shall make of; you are all of that
You are all of that
You are all the things that you may dream of
and partake of; you are all of that
Hey, I see you! Standing at the door
Can’t go back inside; afraid of stepping through
And it’s okay, just be exactly where you are
in all the facets of you
And as the story writes you in
(‘Cause it has since the beginning)
We return, my love
to take our place among the living
And let the story write you in
(‘Cause it has since the start)
As we remember, my love
how to live by heart

You are living on the other side
The morning you went away
some said you had died
So tell me, dear one, where did you go?
And what took you to the other side?
I often wander in this place
I have a lot of questions
about the how and when
Could it be because I feel you now
I will be with you again?
We are living on another side
(and sometimes locked away
in longing to see)
So tell me, dear one, did you know
That the question is the key?

Manor Park
06:35
|
|||
I took a trip across the ocean
(Set my tethered mind in motion)
to look around the lost and found of you
And as I stood among the stones
by myself and not alone
I tried to find some ties to bind me to
And the wind blows soft in Manor Park
and whispers something we both know
as it floats among the trees
dancing with the leaves, in Manor Park
And I hear your voice in Manor Park
carried on the breath of time
And I can feel a love as real
as real as the beating of my heart
and the wind that blows in Manor Park
You who live inside of me
(and won’t let go ‘til we are all free)
and nothing’s lost and nothing needs to mend
And now I know what to do, beyond the memory of you
as you revealed the knowing field of love that has no end
