36 Hours and Change

36 hours and change
That's a short piece of time to be true
But a touch so tender it's strange
After only just learning your name...
feels like I might've always known you.
We wove in and out of each other's lives
One small stitch in the blanket of time
And though it has passed
I keep the memory fresh
Knowing you is anchored in my mind
36 hours and change
That's a short piece of time to be true
But a touch so tender it's strange
After only just learning your name...
feels like I might've always known you.
I was passing through town, coming into port
Right before I walked through your door.
Perhaps we both knew
That this wandering voyager
Would find a bit of something more than
36 hours and change
Instrumental
And though it has passed
I keep the memory fresh
Knowing you is anchored in my mind
36 hours and change
That's a short piece of time to be true
But a touch so tender it's strange
After only just learning your name...
feels like I might've always known you.
How inconvenient you are
Gotta stop wanting more
Gotta stop wanting more
Gotta stop wanting more
Then 36 hours and change.

The Weight of the Wait
03:57
|

The weight of the wait
The weight of the world
The weight of the wait
The wait of the world
The wait of the world
Time drudges by
Stuck motionless waiting
The weight of the world
Heavy all at odds
Emotions a mess wavering
I cannot see the other side
The horizon caught behind fear and divide
Let's make a pact
Before this is through
See another's plight
Step into their shoes
The weighted waiting
Yes, hard for everyone
Recognize your priviledge
If not the world's divisions will never be undone
The weight of the wait
The weight of the world
The weight of the wait
The wait of the world
The weight of the world
Seeps into my being
Unable to process
All the suffering
All the suffering
I cannot see the other side
The horizon caught behind fear and divide
Wake your mind up
Together we'll transform
So tired of the wait,
But you are not alone
The weight of the wait
The weight of the world
The weight of the wait
The wait of the world
I want to see the other side
The horizon calls us to squash this divide
I want to see the other side
Beyond the horizon we'll come to squash this divide
Won't you come and help to squash the divide

Dusk

Darkness falling
Sun retreating away
Golden and crimson
Night being born out of day
Eyes careful watching
Don't want to miss, afraid
Moments in time
Like violet hues, they fade
There's no lasting, there's no pause
Earth she spins we're on for the ride
The fleeting of the twilight hour
Reminds us all is gone too soon
Reach out put your timepiece on the shelf
Be present in mind and one with nature's harmony
Reach out the world is bigger than yourself
Let the paint in the sky pull you out of monotony
There's no lasting, there's no pause
Earth she spins we're on for the ride
The fleeting of the twilight hour
Reminds us to live this life right now
Reach out thaw muscles stuck frozen in doubt
Take a step, then one more on your path toward integrity
There's no lasting, there's no pause
Earth she spins we're on for the ride
The fleeting of the twilight hour
Reminds us to live this life right now
Right now
Right now

Land Called Home
03:49
|

I’m a headed down the old windin road
Where the pace surely quiets and slows
I’m a goin o'er the mountain to my grandaddy’s land
I’m a goin o'er the mountain to my home
Across the rivers, through the valleys I make my way
Got the peace of the country on my mind
Where time’s made for standin still so life’s wonders can be seen
I’m a goin out to the country to my home
Take a look at any map it won’t stand out much at all
You won’t find it written in some history book
But it’s there just the same for few who know where to look
It’s there, the special place that we call home
If there’s a place in this old world where I can feel at ease
If there’s a space where I can breathe
Well it’s the mountain air that moves me, it’s the mountain air that sings
I’m a goin far from the city to my home
Take a look at any map it won’t stand out much at all
You won’t find it written in some history book
But it’s there just the same for few who know where to look
It’s there, the special place that we call home
*Instrumental break*
Take a look at any map it won’t stand out much at all
You won’t find it written in some history book
But it’s there just the same for few who know where to look
It’s there, the special place that we call home
Many days have passed since I could make it back
To where I know I belong
Where I know food is on the table, know there’s a place set just for me.
Cause I called to tell my family I’m comin home
I’m a headed down the old windin road
To see the people I care for most
I’m a goin o'er the mountain to my granddaddy’s land
I’m a goin o'er the mountain to my home
Yes, I’m a goin over the mountain to my home

She Will Shine
04:21
|
|||
How long will it go on,
This suppression
Big men with their big talk
Takin up space,
Throwin their money, fast opinions in your face
Big men don't need to listen
They know everything they could ever need to know
They'll climb high on the shoulders of those under them
Kick them down and make them stay below
But she, she got that rockin roll soul
A fire, tryin to break
Trying to break old rules now
She, she will not be told
To hide
To hold back
To be anything less than a star
Overcoming misogyny
Smashing established patriarchy
Finally starting to see leadership with diversity
Showing our daughters possibilities
Cause she, she got that rockin roll soul
A fire, tryin to break
Trying to break old rules now
She, she will not be told
To hide
To hold back
To be anything less than a star
The star you are
Come on and light that burning fire and
Shine, shine, shine
Shine, shine, shine
She will shine
To all of the women all over the world
Don't let no one dare silence you, push you in back of the crowd
You're so strong and resilient
Your voice was made to be hear
Your opinions they matter
Don't feel stifled, use your words
Seek and find your own inner power
Let your light grow so much you might inspire
Feel welcome young goddess, to be who you are
Shake off those old fears
Let go
And you will shine
Let it shine
Come on shine
She will shine
Oh shine, shine, shine, shine
Oh shine, shine
Shine, shine, shine, shine
Shine, shine, shine, shine
She will shine
Cause she, she got that rockin roll soul
A fire, tryin to break
Trying to break old rules now
She, she will not be told
To hide
To hold back
To be anything less than a star
The star you are
Come on and light that burning fire and
Shine, shine, shine
Shine, shine, shine
She will shine

Time of You and Me
02:55
|
|||
Would it be alright if I,
Spoke up just one more time
Before we cross that line
Once it's done there's no turning back
So please just hear me out and cut me some slack
This isn't how this is supposed to end
How can I turn what we had into just being your friend
It's not that I can't be strong
It's just I'm gonna need some time, and I don't know how long
Don't be surprised if I don't call
Cause I won't know what to say
And it won't make the pain go away
I might say that I am fine
And although you'll know I'm lyin' at least you won't see me cryin'
But I never thought I'd feel so numb
My tears are locked up deep inside as if I still had some pride
But by being honest with you
I gave you everything I am, time and time again
La da das
Well, I know I will move on
But it'll always hurt to know how quick you seemed to let me go
So easily
Leaving me to wonder if what we had was something just in my head
Well would it be alright if I,
Spoke up just one more time
Before we cross that line
I know you once thought of me
Now how do I make you remember the beauty that life could be
In the time of you and me

Whenever You're Around
04:37
|
|||
It's hard to just be me
Whenever you're around
I step into the bar
There you are across the room
I seem to catch your gaze
We knowing, turn away
I scan the room for my friends
Oh, there they are
Safety! They'll help disguise
Hot chills coming over me
This secret love must go unspoken
But always will remain
And everyone must plainly see what your friendship does to me
I feel the endless pull and I know every single move you make
It's hard to just be me
Whenever you're around
My mind is split in two
While so engaging
My other ear is turned
To your contagious laughter
This secret love must go unspoken
But always will remain
And everyone must plainly see what your friendship does to me
I feel the endless pull and I know every single move you make
It's hard to just be me
Whenever you're around
No matter the distance or time spent apart
One thing will never change
When you're around
Hey!
Finally it's time to say "hello"
"Oh how've you been?"
"Just fine. It's so great to see you."
"I know, it's been a while"
So few words to say, "How I miss you."
But your eyes tell me you know
And everyone must plainly see what your friendship does to me
I feel the endless pull and I know every single move you make
It's hard to just be me
It's hard to just be me
Yes, it's so hard to just be me
Whenever you're around

Little Windows
03:01
|
|||
Walk on down the block look at all the little windows
Some are open some are shut so tight
Stop and peek in each little window
You might just like what you see
Just don't push and force it open
Just don't try to pry it wide
Just don't push and force it
If it ain't ready to be
Timing is the secret
Timing is the key
You will never get through the window
If the time's not meant to be
Come on round the corner to see my own little window
It's been closed off for so long
Slowly starting to crack open
Might be ready to shed some warm light in
Just don't push and force it open
Just don't try to pry it wide
Just don't push and force it
If it ain't ready to be
Timing is the secret
Timing is the key
You will never get through the window
If the time's not meant to be
Just don't push and force it open
Just don't try to pry it wide
Just don't push and force it open
Just don't try to pry it wide
Just don't push and force it
If it ain't ready to be
Timing is the secret
Timing is the key
You will never get through the window
If the time's not meant to be

Nomad
What you running from?
Where you gone?
Don't you miss a home?
All these words that just don't touch me
Well I'm a nomad
I've been a wanderin toward
What calls to me
Outside the stepping stones of society
A life that's paved by my own two feet
All of us people
Animals living in boxes
All of us people
Waiting to step back outside
When you're a nomad
You ain't got one home
You've got the horizon
Where you lay your head at times is a mystery
A life that harkens to days of old
A gypsy spirit with nothing but the open road
All of us people
Animals living in boxes
All of us people
Waiting to step back outside
And oh what you'll find on a journey to somewhere
Through flora and fauna you've not yet seen
Faces and places too alive for any dream
The world she'll surprise you, good and bad
Lessons learned forever
You'll come out the other side, wiser each day
Full of such reverence for Earth we call home
When you're a nomad
You walk the wide world
Discovering, uncovering
Discovering
