Rise Above
05:38
|
|||
|
I wore the robe of the guilty
i let this tyranny take me
to the bottom of the ocean.
no more will i suffocate you
come out come out into a free world
and I will not appose you
you and we shall become one
Become...
I rise above the clutter
and i see the sun for the very first time
I no longer shutter
I see myself for the very first time
angel in bloom
so often torn in two
angel in bloom
that's what I am
No more this fleshly crucifixion
no longer shall you be fed to the lions
you and I will have the answers
the answers

You are with me now
04:52
|
|||
|
You are with me now
You are with me now
within this sacred moment
I feel your arms around me
I give my fear and worry to you now
for you're big enough
and here with you
this is my souls home

Taking my time
04:04
|
|||
|
I'm taking my time
I'm taking my time
no longer running down the road
to better this or better that
I'm taking my time
I'm taking my time
For the grass is lovely shade of green right under my feet
and oh it feels so good, right under my feet
I'm taking my time
I'm taking my time
no longer stepping on your hands
not bowing to your high demands
I'm taking my time
and there's room right here
right next to me
come feel the earth
remember the sun
it feels so good

The Joining
04:22
|
|||
|
Your wooden fingers
and felt before
and now they feel no more
Your misery eyes
once lit your face
and how you shown before
yet you see through me llike a ghost
and you miss what you want most
do you feel at all
do you see at all
are you free at all
as we speak
Will you heal at all
will you wake up at all
please give me a sign

Elephant
06:18
|
|||
|
Stand in the light
show your teeth
jump through the fire
for the crowds
and then you'll be tied, immobilized
only for 99 percent of the time
so don't step out of line
don't you step on his toes
you'll be warned
you'll be hit
you will bleed
but it's all for the show
Forced to do tricks every night
don't you stray for we know where you sleep
no no mistakes
watch your back
or we'll add one more stripe where it hurts
elephant has no where to go
for the circus has gone on without you

Wake up

|

I don't want to hurt you anymore
I want to see the world through your eyes

The Getaway
04:20
|
|||
|
I've walked and I've danced and I will die as well
I've heard your song passing by your gates
and I think i'm lost
i've turned away
but my minds just to preoccupied with nothing
I've gone and made my getaway
but i've gone astray and this silence is telling me something
I'm washed and I'm dressed and I'll play my part
and I will spit and i will choke
but remain the same

For a friend
05:10
|
|||
|
Be and I will be with you
you are a light house in the storm
you will over come this storm
you will over come this storm
Don't fear the flame for it will make you brighter
don't fear the wall for you will climb upon it
and you will see from higher gournd
and the sun will shine upon you
Be and i will be with you
you are a beacon to the worn
you will lead them on
and you will lead them
don't fear the flame for it will make you brighter
eyes of hope will open up

The Bloody River
05:26
|
|||
|
There's holes in me
that tend to bleed running down my sleeve
it's mixing with
the heavy rain
tell me who's the winner
and here in I am swept away
here in I am swept away
here in I am swept away
in this bloody river
I am swept
I'll lift my head
I'll lift my hand
try to get your attention
for I need your touch
no fabricated touch
no voice overdub

Stitches
03:32
|
|||
|
Under the knife again
well can you
can you find it there
can you find it there dear doctor
find it there and cut it out
find it there dear doctor
find it there and later sow me up
i want to walk out of here
find it there and cut it out
i want to walk out of here
find it there and later sow me up
and maybe, maybe, maybe I will stand here clutching my side
the search has begun again
well are your gloves on and your coveralls?

The bell
05:42
|
|||
|
I want to tell you that i love you
and with what i say I don't mean to hurt you
I just can't go on like this
cause I'm dying on the inside
yes at times the sun is shining somewhere up above
but where I've been walking it has ceased to long ago
So I will turn and reach for you
and I will turn them down
that crazy crowd and I will run to you
maybe just maybe there'll be peace for me there
in your arms i'll find refuge
Then the battle that rages in me might cease to be
cause I fear I'm disappearing, I'm digging my own grave
and no bell will save me
only one option remains
oh....even if i fall from your grace

Stained shoes
04:42
|
|||
|
well do you
do you feel the
feel the tears fall
fall from heaven
fall...
well do you feel the
feel the tears fall from heaven
fall from heaven
gathering as puddles at your feet
does it stain your shoes?
does it stain your shoes?
If i stay long
no I wont
I won't bear it any longer
well do you feel the
feel the heart sigh
up in heaven
causing tear drops to gather at my feet

Lift eachother
04:52
|
|||
|
Let's choose to love love love
love our brothers and our sisters
we are the same flesh and blood
and you say
well let's give of our time
and you say how
well let's let our smiles shine
and maybe then
we will lift
we will lift
we will lift eachother to the light
Let's choose to hold hold hold
eachothers dreams with gentleness
we are together on this road
and we say come
there is room by my side
and we say come
oh be brave do not hide
and take my hand and lift me up
we will lift
we will lift
we will lift eachother to the light
|
||||
14. |
||||
|
Every time you show yourself
every time you show yourself
every time
I'll let your image float away
oh I'll let your image float away
Oh I'll let your image float away
....float away....
For you have no power over me

Zephyr
05:16
|
|||
|
Riding down the highway
the pumpkins on fire tonight
gazing at the light show
as the sun turns it in for the night
here's the west wind
time to ride the zephyr
jump on brother
it's time to ride the zephyr
Blazing for the third time
my mind's being sung a lullabye
passing those grain filled churches
inside there is no space so we pass by
|

The wind and her voices
02:56
|
|||
|
I've been drifting
drifting for days
going nowhere
driven by the waves
driven mad by the wind and her voices
The blind they come
they come for me
they want to feed on me
and they don't want my company
if only we could see
only blue
forever blue
only blue
I've been drifting
drifting for days
going nowhere
driven by the waves
driven mad by the wind and her voices

Anthony Sweet St. Catharines, Ontario
I'd like to welcome you here...to pause with me...to be here in this moment...in this special moment of being. Allow
yourself to be here. For this is the moment that you and I are truly awake, alive.
May we be an encouragement to one another, for though our paths look very different we are still all human and we need to try and bring out the Divine spark in one another...let's be in kindness.
