More to Learn
(w/ Charlie Mosbrook)
Ive lived black and white
The world was right or wrong
I wrapped my hands around
the source
But I could never hold on
Chorus:
There's always more to learn
(4x)
In moments of clarity I take
my turn
Sharing knowledge and wisdom
and all of my concerns
Tell you what I think based
on everything I know
But theres always more to
learn
Chorus
All our books and all our
histories
Gather like fruit as it
falls from the tree
Endlessly encountering every
mystery
From the atom to the sea
Chorus
The Patron Saint
(w/ Brent Kirby)
-
You’re always there, when I
need you
Right here, even when I
don’t
I’ve felt the weight, like
salt in the air
Heard your whisper, talking
in my prayer
It ain’t straight line, that
you put me on
You got me moving, where I
belong
I remember, I was standing
In the lights, of oak and
market street
I fell into, this moment so
clear
I realized, the sun is
shining through the rain
As I am much the same
Chorus:
It ain’t straight line, that
you put me on
You got me moving, where I
belong
Sometimes it’s not easy, to
give what we take
Whatever happens, I am awake
Faith in fate, My Patron
Saint
It ain’t straight line, that
you put me on
You got me moving, where I
belong
Sometimes it’s not easy, to
give what we take
Whatever happens, I am awake
I believe, I’m awake
faith in fate, My Patron
Saint
Echo Coming Home
(W/ Randi Driscoll)
_
Waiting for the spark to light
Running through the memories that keep me up at night
Looking for the words to write
Every time that East wind blows I close my eyes
It reminds me of you
Chorus:
From a million miles away I hear what you're saying
If the mountains don’t get in the way I hear what you're playing
If I close my eyes tonight can you hear me praying
Could you sing me to sleep in a dream is it real as it seems or is my
echo coming home
Looking for another sign
Its not in the streets so I lay in the sheet just wasting time
Looking for the words to rhyme
I cant compete with the streams or the sunshine
It reminds me of you
Chorus
Ooh…
Did you hear me calling Did
you call me home
Chorus
When You Sit Still
(w/ Emma Shepard)
_
My heart fits My home is
Wherever I lay my tracks on the road
My eyes fixed The lock picked
This door Wasn’t shut after all
Ive been in frame Up on your wall
And colors fade When you sit still
Chorus:
All your wild ideas
Bursting with such color
But if you never leave
You’ll never know whats out
there
So im busting out im busting
outta here (2x)
No need to be patient
You’ve wasted long enough
No need to keep distance
What you’ve wanted has
opened your door
Ive been in a frame up on your wall
Dust collects when you forget
Chorus
Maybe ill never know
My
heart and my soul if you feel so restless
Maybe
this is the wrong road maybe
there's something behind it
But I've got to go if
you feel so restless
Maybe ill never know if
you are not sleeping
The source of it all maybe there's something
Or anything at all you
need desperately to
But I've got to stay awake stay awake for
Chorus (Busting out 4x)
Bridge (2x)
My heart fitz but I'm used to it
Roots
(w/ Rachel Roberts)
_
Golden rivers through my soul
I've the heart of a bear
I'm trees and life
I'm everywhere
My brother mountain my
sister air
My mother Earth my father
swears
I was made for you I was
made for you
Chorus:
I breathe your breath tho
you curse me
Survive your fire tho it
hurts me
I fall for your touch so
tender
I fight for your love
surrender
I speak to you through the wind
Sweet water from a cave
Love doesn’t keep
And Love doesn’t take
My brother ocean my sister
sea
My mother Earth my father
believes
You still love me you still
love me
Chorus
Hold on hold on hold on hold
on
To the roots the roots the
roots that shine over your shadow
Cool air come down
Leave your unrest
Springs of forgiveness
Always exist
Feather forest dreaming hills
I've the mind of a moon
Let my tide be your steps
Let me fix your regret
Braids of ivy flowers in my
hair
You’ve been searching for
what is right here
I was made for you I was
saved for you
Chorus (2x)
Flower Child
(w/ Kristine Jackson)
_
I
keep on waiting while the world slips on by
You’re
hesitating waiting for a better time
But
life is short and life is cruel I gotta get it while I can
I
am always here to push you on your way again
I
know you’re always there to send me on my way again
Chorus:
Don’t
give up your flowers
(Child)
keep singing for the powers to change
I
don’t want to keep waiting as the world slips on by
You’ve
been hesitating for far too long a time
The
world is cruel and life is short I wanna get it while I can
I
am always here to remind you why you began
I
will remember why I began
Chorus
Powers

So
I’ll get up and I got to be strong 'cuz I got to be moving on

Keep
singing for the flowers to change

Some Love
(w/ Charlie Trenta)
Its bubbling over
Everything in sight
I've been looking for healing
And a rest from the fight
So I’ve opened up your arms
And crawled inside
I've been looking for a
feeling
One I cant deny
Chorus:
I'm on my way to a better
place I've got my eyes on the road
So if you don’t mind will
you let me stay help me soothe my soul
'Cuz I need some love to get me home
My souls gone under
Some cold cold spell
I've been waiting for a
moment
To tip the scale
Chorus
Take my hand take me away from my head
Lift me up to show me I can make waves of love
And healing
I'm on my way to a better
place I've got the pedal through the floor
So if you don’t mind I’ll
let you in we can run the course
'Cuz I need to know if love
can grow in a life of thorns
I'm on my way to find grace…
Peace by Piece
(w/ Courtney Cable)
-
Piece by piece I step outside
Glare of the sun lets everything hide
Burns to my bones breaks like waves to the sea
I close my eyes as it washes over me
I can see the future it’s not what it used to be
I can see the future it’s not what it used to be
Piece by piece I walk by your side
Content with the dreams clouding your eyes
Burns to my bones breaks like hearts in need
I close my eyes as it takes over me
I can see the future written in me
I can see the future written in me
I can see the future…
Piece by piece run til we collide run til we collide run til we collide
I can see the future of you and me
Anyway
(w/ Maurice Martin of Winslow)
I find myself looking past what’s in front of me
Tho my eyes are open I wish I could tell you what I see
If there is a reason I can’t find
Surely it is in between the rhyme
But the lonely days make sober
All the dreams I couldn’t hold
And I wonder if they’re much too far for me to go
Chorus:
What do you do when you finally reach the bottom
Do you fall down on your knees & break what’s already broken
Or do you rise up beyond yourself & create a new horizon
Every dream cries to happen cries to happen anyway
It always seems to different when it’s you instead of them
When it’s your own bed you’ll find you have to lay in
Tho you’re standing still in your mind there is no pause fast forward or
rewind
Chorus
Every dream cries to happen (3x)
Cries to happen anyway
Not Really Falling At All
(w/ Emma Shepard)
Head first heart out
Breathe deep speak loud
Closed fist open arms
Fill with fire and move like
water
Give wings to your fear
watch it fly away
Give wings to your fear let
it fly away
Times running be reckless
Build something just to
wreck it
Green light open wider
Fill with fire now you’re
getting brighter
Give wings to your fear watch it fly away
Give wings to your fear let it fly away
Chorus:
There is no ground that can
stop me now
There is no ground that can
slow me down
There is no ground so open your
arms and fall
Open your arms and fall
'Cuz you’re not really
falling at all
What would you do
If you know you had nothing
to fall to
When you’re in the middle it
feels a little different
Than looking from your
window
Let free your fear open up
that cage
Let free your fear it’s time
you let them run away
Chorus
La la la …
Chorus
Fall … Let free your fear …
fall
Chiropractor(w/ TM Gottl & Cameron Jones)
-
Met a man the other day,
he asked, "What's
ailing you, my friend?
You look so down-and-out,
you'd think the world was
gonna end."
"It's the problems of
the world," I said,
"the problems of the
nation:
I'm broke, my car just died,
and I got caught for tax evasion."
"Well listen
here," he told me,
"Folks who dwell around these parts always carry off their troubles
to the doctor of all
arts…"
Chorus:
The Chiropractor!…yeah
yeah…
uses the funk to make you
feel better!
So I called the doctor's number,
Made an appointment right that day.
Went and told him all my
aches and pains
To see what he had to say
"Well your vertebrae they're lookin'
fly, and your posture's ok too.
But the prognosis is pretty grim:
You ain't got the soul in
you!
I'm prescribing extra dance
time.
You see, movement is the
key.
Don't be shy, Get on
the floor!
The funk is what you
need!"
Chorus
After close evaluation
I've reached an
interpretation
that your lower subluxation,
has,
through osteo-creation,
required a little extra funk
for your spinal manipulation.
So you're out of wack, you ain't feelin fine
To kill some time you need to find a place to
chill and unwindAnd not the bar types, clear it up, fog lightsWe got the remedy that'll make you feel alrightIts been all night, and you can't moveWe give that stank to ya, the funk thanks youIts not so painful once you step into the officeShoes stickin from leftover funk on the carpetThe first step, you start to feel itThe second step, your soul starts the healinAnd repeat, its useless if you use it lessThe truth is one visit and you'll feel the best
I do confessIts proven best when the chills go up the spineRealigns you secretly building up your mindTeaching you to overcome, move the feet fasterYou heard it here first but who said it?CHIROPRACTOR!
Out at the disco
late on Saturday night,
now, when the music moves
me,
all my troubles pass me by.
But while breaking out the
hustle
I slipped a disk across the
floor…
Flat on my back. The music stopped.
Oh! I ain't dancin' anymore!
They took me to the hospital, "Doctor, help! Emergency!"
I looked in the ER and who do I
see?
Chorus
Magpie
(W/ Scott Franklin)
Chorus:
Magpie magpie a black maple
leaf that’s learned to fly
Sitting back on a summer
night pushing the moon across the sky
Magpie magpie I got dreams
but you can fly
If we can sing like the
summertime I know we’ll be alright
Magpie
I
come from places high and low You
come from places I can’t go
Where you’ve been I don’t
know Sometimes I wish I’m you
I
was born beneath the trees
You have flown the seven seas
When
the sun has set on me
You’re headed somewhere new
You sing the song I’ll tell your story
Chorus
Ive got wings in my head You know things never said
Im a story you have read You seem so far away
Id
like to turn the page & join the wind
Where tomorrow’s not today again
My tree is made of cement But we are much the
same
You sing the song I’ll tell your story
Chorus / Solo
You
have clouds and I have friends You have
days that never end
I have love that holds me
when The breeze is in
your eyes
We were both born to sing Life sure is a
mystery
Your heart may always be
free Mine’s just glad
to see you
You sing the song I’ll tell your story
You sing the song I’m in no hurry
Chorus (2x)
Trash & Treasure
(w/ Ryan Humbert)
-
All this trash &
treasure, bringing poison pleasure,
It’s an age-old scheme,
lacing your dreams,
It’s one less plan, for an
empty man,
When you’ve lost you’re
hold, running takes it’s toll.
Chorus:
Slow down, for a minute,
Slow down, until you make it
home.
Slow down, for a minute,
We all make it home, We all
make it home,
We all make it home.
You can beg & borrow,
but you can’t buy tomorrow,
When you’ve had all you can
stand, take a step again,
It’s just one more ghost,
when the night takes hold,
You can learn to see, if
you’re heart still beats.
Chorus
Tear down, build up, what
you break you can make again,
Tear down, build up
Tear down, build up, what
you made you can save again,
Tear down. build up
All this trash &
treasure, bringing pointless pleasure,
It’s an age old scheme,
lacing your dreams.
Chorus
Happiest sad song
(w/ David Ullman)
Throwing diamonds at the sky trying to outshine the moon
There's no time to reflect and never enough room (never enough room)
There's no easy fix and each time it gets worse
Getting harder and harder to write our next verse
Chorus:
You said you couldn’t find a happy song in all I've written for you
You said you wanted a happy song there were none that you knew
I guess the happiest sad song (happiest sad song’s) gonna have to do
You say sadness is surrender and sympathy is not love
But I believe in you and I am not giving up
Sometime faith is not enough you need what you can touch
Feel like you're always running and never catching up
Chorus
Like a star in the sky that dies before the dawn
Even the brightest moon is overtaken by the sun
Trying to see in the dark the light that’s breaking through
I've been so proud of my pain now I've nothing left to prove
I'm just trying to add a happy song to all I've written for you
I'm just trying to sing a happy song this is the best I can do
I guess the happiest sad song (the happiest sad song’s)
Gonna have to do
Realization Song
(w/ Diana Chittester)
In a world sick with sadness
Where do I start
I could listen to the
madness
Or I could listen to my
heart
When its easier to follow and so hard to stand alone
Chorus:
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh make a
change for the better
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh one
voice can shatter
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh the lies
that say you are not enough
Cried out for a solution
Someone to fix the broken
things
I point in all directions
But this should start with
me
When
we seek to place blame we’re just
keeping everything the same
Chorus
Not
being able to do it all Look
inside
Is
no reason to fall Look
inside yourself
Back
from standing up Look
inside yourself
In
all that needs to be done Look
inside
It
all starts with one Look
inside yourself
No
voice is too small Look
inside yourself
Ooh
(2x)
Chorus
(I say)
you are enough
You
are enough
You
are enough
Be
(W/ Colin John)
Everyday starts a new day
Another chance to love and be loved
Just as every step can lead to a new place
You’ve got the chance to make it right
Its heavy stuff to talk about love
And to try to change your ways
But it aint so hard as it seems today
Take one step and you're on your way
Chorus:
Be the change that you wanna see
Cuz only you can be what you can be
Be the change that you wanna see
Cuz it’s the dreamers who create reality
Every smile gives you a chance to shine
Every heart could use a little light
Just as every tear that is shed in pain
Can also in happiness rain
Its heavy stuff to talk about us
And to look past all the games
But it aint so hard as the grudge you keep
With a simple breath your hands can be clean
Chorus
Whoa oh oh even if you don’t believe me
Whoa oh oh what it hurt to try
Whoa oh oh if we weren’t meant to soar
Oh oh oh there wouldn’t be a blue sky
Chorus
