Lost Girl 05:30
LYRICS Tracing fingers on the glass  Let it come and watch it pass There is solace in the wild  When everything's on fire     Sky of blue and silver hue  Swimming in the arc of view  From the bottom of the world  I am not a lost girl   I wish I could breathe under water I wish I could breathe I wish I could breathe under water I wish I could Then I’d know that I’m alive   Linger in the summer moon Water falling carves a tune At the dimming of the day Sins are washed away    I wish I could breathe under water I wish I could breathe I wish I could breathe under water I wish I could Then I’d know that I’m alive Then I’d know that I’m alive Know for sure that I’m alive   If the earth can hold the water Surely then I am its daughter If there’s beauty in a pearl I am not a lost girl   I wish I could breathe under water I wish I could breathe I wish I could breathe under water I wish I could Then I’d know that I’m alive Then I’d know that I’m alive Know for sure that I’m alive Alive

Joy 04:59
LYRICS Do you ever wonder what it’d be like to fly Shed your limits and your limbs and take to the sky Ever wonder what it’s like to let go of time Let the light of love burn in your heart so bright Come on, leave your troubles behind Let me take you there Let go, now is the time Like weeds growing up through cracks in the sidewalk Our better sentiments get lost in the crosstalk Walk in time and sing out loud, everything will turn around Horizons rise like steam up from the underground Come on, leave your troubles behind Let me take you there Let go, now is the time I can get you there Believe and the sun will shine Over the hill and down where the river flows There’s a song in the wind and a flower that ever grows So much joy, more than we’ve ever known Joy In the midst of a life that seems so wild When you want to pull the blinds and stay inside Look to what you know is right Everything will be just fine Kiss your fear goodbye and let your mind take flight Come on, leave your troubles behind I can get you there Let go, now is the time Let me take you there Believe and the sun will shine Over the hill and down where the river flows There’s a song in the wind and a flower that ever grows So much joy, more than we’ve ever known Joy Joy joy, let the river flow!

LYRICS I wanna put all my dreams in you And make you have the same dreams too And when we find each other in them We can hold hands The beginning of love is a vibration Rattling your bones Spinning in your blood And turning into relation Am I recreating you by filling in what isn't true a blank slate in an empty room Hey lover wheeeeere Where lover heeeeeey Hey lover wheeeeeeere Have you been all my life You are the prince I’ve been waiting to kiss me awake It’s perfect this tide we’ll just ride with the light ‘cause when it shines just so, I can see your shadow Let me trace in the places I want to be And elevate it to a fantasy so treacherous and steep I can feel you breathing, coursing and beating I'll cry out til the music rings and rest in inconsistencies I gotta have you all to me Hey lover wheeeeere Where lover heeeeeey Hey lover wheeeeeeere Have you been all my life I wanna put all my dreams in you And make you have the same dreams too

Jealousy 03:23
LYRICS Jealousy starts a rumor And it’s Greed that tells a lie Time has got your number Doesn’t wait for your reply Bitterness is a mouthful But a scream can tell you why Who will you account for When they look you in the eye Sympathy lives without you Tyranny lives within Fear’s always about to But floating means jumping in
5.
Dust Bowl 03:34
LYRICS We parted from the hills and landed solid on the plain The sky was blue as wide as eye could see And the prairie grasses blew in the wind and in the rain We knew the land was calling out our name In the Spring of ’31, we would harvest in the sun A job well done was its own prize By the Fall of ’32, there was nothing we could do They came like moving mountains in disguise And the land was rearranged before our eyes Dust to breathe and dust to eat; Dust to drink in when we sleep Can hardly tell the darkness from the day Like 2 midnights in a jug, the dusters barreled down on us The only thing that we could do was wait And hope our prayers would make it through to heaven’s gate. With God we begged and bartered; What didn’t work we tried it harder Tomorrow might be better than today In the stillness laid between, we fixed our eyes and dreamed And said “I’m sorry I cannot bring down the rain. Maybe next year we’ll be on our feet again Dust to breathe and dust to eat; Dust to drink in when we sleep Can hardly tell the darkness from the day Like 2 midnights in a jug, the dusters barreled down on us The only thing that we could do was wait And hope our prayers would make it through to heaven’s gate.

Charleston 04:06
LYRICS Let us bring healing where we can Where you are broken, I will hold you up Let us be offering our hand Join our voices and we’ll overcome It is for the good not to be silent We are all reflections of ourselves We cannot sit by and abide violence Against anybody else Let us be thinking of you now As we’re drawing close who we hold dear Let us be thankful for the time For in a moment it could disappear It is for the good not to be silent We are all reflections of ourselves We cannot sit by and abide violence Against anybody else Where did we go wrong? Where do we go wrong?

LYRICS Ailleurs mais la-dedans Je n’ai pas peur, mais j’en veux Le ciel et la mer Ne sont rien que l’envers Si vous voulez, vous nous tenez Ça ira Ça ira Ça ira Si vous voulez vous nous tenez Quand les autres nous amèneraient Ça ira Ça ira Ça ira

Honest Man 03:25
LYRICS Meet me out at end of day Ask the stars to light your way As we become Run we shall across the moor Fast as horses and twice as sure Until we’re gone Make for me a thistle ring And I’ll give to you an ancient riddle Make of me an honest man Bring to me a shattered bow And I’ll make for you a painted arrow Make of me an honest man Meet me out at break of day Tell the sun to light your way Until we’re one
10.
LYRICS Oh I get to know you just so I can leave you Ain’t that the way it’s always been? Can’t help but control you know I’ll never please you Then we start around again Oh I get to know you just so I can leave you But I can’t even tell you when Can’t help but let go you know I’ll never keep you Yeah we’re holding on ‘til then And I could never change it though you would arrange it Just the way I want you to Oh it would be a shame and I would be to blame And that’s why I’m leaving you.
