JUST LIKE TREES AND BIRDS Our bodies are just like trees Our bodies ( bent over ) are just like trees ( exposed; endangered ) Our bodies ( limbs twisted ) are just like trees ( fragile; vulnerable ) Our bodies ( growth stunted ) are just like trees ( dwarfed; unhealthy ) We sway, we shake, we bend… we break All determines our growth, our shape Our spirits are just like birds Our spirits ( uplifted ) are just like birds ( soaring; gliding ) Our spirits ( instinctive ) are just like birds ( driven; natural ) Our spirits ( transient ) are just like birds ( fleeting; disappearing ) We fly, we plane, we plunge… we flee All determines our chance to be free We live, overcome, survive… succumb All determines what we become Our bodies are just like trees Our spirits are just like birds Our bodies, and spirits, are just like trees, and just like birds

I ACHE ALL OVER 04:35
lyrics

I ACHE ALL OVER I…I ache I ache all over Bent by the weight Of man’s inflicted hate I ache Crushed by the force Of those with no remorse I ache Twisted by the pain Of those struggling in vain I ache Broken by the stress Of the tormented oppressed I ache Screaming pain Exploding veins Agonizing strain Throbbing brain Hurt by the plight Of those fighting for life In distress; no peace No reprieve Drenched by the tears Of children living in fear I ache Pierced by the cries Of women, terrified I ache I…I ache I ache all over

CLEAN-UP We rub; We scrub We rub; we scrub But the filth; the dirt of mankind never goes. Clean up the waste Rinse, ‘n flush and fumigate Decontaminate, Cleanse and sponge and ventilate Sanitize, deodorize, dehumidify, and purify Sweep away, wash away the grime Scour away, disinfect the slime. Garbage, garbage….lavish waste and rubbish Carnage, carnage….cruelty and anguish Over, over, over consumption….under, undercover corruption High-browed conceit…. lowdown deceit… those who mistreat, scheme & who cheat Nastiness & wickedness; greediness & naughtiness; dirtiness & grubbiness; sloppiness & filthiness Too much garbage…we rub So much carnage….we scrub Over consumption…we rub Undercover corruption….we scrub Clean it up!....but the filth, the dirt: Never goes. So disgusting!…dirty, dirty Reeking and putrid!…dirty, dirty Such squalor! The filth, the dirt never goes We rub ‘n scrub ‘n rub ‘n scrub Never goes! The filth, the dirt never goes. Dirty, dirty!

MY INNER SELF 04:51
lyrics
buy track
MY INNER SELF Words, like birds, around me fly But I never emit my inner cry Riffs and motifs buzz like bees in a throng Yet I never sing my inner song Images and light in intense interplay Though I never expose my inner way Emotions and drama; a theatrical wealth Still I never display my inner self Love arrives but always departs Yet I never bare my inner heart Alone, and withdrawn; profound solitude Though I never disclose my inner mood Failures and hardships; I’ve paid the toll Yet I never reveal my inner soul Wisdom attained by losing my youth But I never divulge the inner truth

DARKNESS 05:08
lyrics

DARKNESS Worn thin As fragile as porcelain Worn out Frayed by the notion of doubt So helpless…..so weary So listless…….so dreary Such darkness….so uneasy Forlorn Dragging around so estranged, bruised and torn Alone Flailing about in an empty, dark zone No way might the light break through Such hazy gloom, so dense No way might the night reveal A thread of true peace and sense So helpless……so weary So listless……..so dreary Such darkness….so uneasy Falling, falling, falling Sinking, sinking, sinking Fading, fading, fading Dwindling, dwindling, dwindling Falling, falling to nowhere Sinking, sinking; unaware Fading, fading with no care Dwindling, dwindling; in despair The clouds move in No silver lining or magic rainbow The fog thickens No illumination or golden halo Just a maze before my gaze Of dark despair

BACK & FORTH Feeling good ‘n, high and energetic Then I feel low, and am so pathetic I’M UP – I’M DOWN I GO BACK & FORTH Feeling right ‘n, sure to be triumphant Then I’m found wrong, showing lack of judgment I’M RIGHT - I’M WRONG I GO BACK & FORTH Feeling strong ‘n, full of confidence Then I collapse, with such diffidence I’M STRONG - I’M WEAK I GO BACK & FORTH Feeling rapture, and so full of passion Then I’m seized by loathing and disaffection I LOVE - I HATE I GO BACK & FORTH Pendulum swing Pendulum back & forth SEESAW PENDULUM SEESAW BACK & FORTH SEESAW SWING SEESAW BACK & FORTH Seesaw back & forth PENDULUM, BACK & FORTH
