36 Hours and Change 02:53
lyrics
buy track
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
lyrics

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 04:18
lyrics

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
lyrics

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
lyrics

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
lyrics

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 07:47

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
