Sweet Thing 04:28
lyrics
Oh Mother Nature sweet thing You know how to do it right Oh Mother Nature sweet thing You sure look good tonight [Repeat] Sing it to the mountains Sing it to the river We got to get ourselves out there into the country And get some fresh air Come on let’s sing it to the treetops Sing it to the beaver We got to give respect Show her that we adore her Hey Mama, you so mighty fine We’d better grow up before we're outta time It’s a new age, we see the signs Feel us Mama, on your side Hey Mama, in you we trust Thank you, for guiding us Through the cycles of life and loss Ashes to ashes, dust to dust Oh Mother Nature sweet thing You know how to do it right Oh Mother Nature sweet thing You sure look good tonight [Repeat] Sing it to the landfill Sing it to the dam We got to get ourselves out there on the front lines And take a stand Come on let's sing it to the clear cuts Sing it to the salmon farms We got to let ourselves feel it You see, ‘cause we’re doing harm Hey Mama, you so mighty fine We’d better grow up before we're outta time It’s a new age, we see the signs Can you feel us Mama, we’re on your side Hey Mama, in you we trust Thank you, for guiding us Through the cycles of life and loss Ashes to ashes, dust to dust Oh Mother Nature sweet thing You know how to do it right Oh Mother Nature sweet thing You sure look good tonight Oh Mother Nature sweet thing You know how to do it right Oh Mother Nature sweet thing You sure look good You sure look good Honey you sure look good tonight

Don't Give Me Faces 04:03
lyrics
Don’t give me faces Don’t show me a mask you think I want to see Don’t give me faces Don’t show me the person you’re pretending to be I won’t give you faces Won’t show you a mask I think you want to see I won’t give you faces Won’t show you the person I’m pretending to be Now I know you’re blue I’ve been feelin’ it too It’s the kind that touches everything But this is your music, feel the beat Let’s go dance in the street C’mon play that guitar, and sing Pain ain’t the same thing as suffering *My body is not an apology but a blessing My disability’s not my identity I’m the real deal I show how I feel I’ll tell you what’s real Come on show how you feel Tell me what’s real Let’s see what the truth reveals *This line was inspired by the poem “The Body Is Not An Apology” by Sonya Renee Taylor, and the movement that grew out of it.

Go With Your Guidance 06:08
lyrics
Go with your guidance Listen to your guidance Hey yeah Go with your guidance Listen to your guidance I can hear you say What’s it gonna pay to breathe and pray Yippie-i-ay, just breathe and pray I can hear you say What’s it gonna pay to breathe and pray Yippie-i-ay, just breathe and pray Don’t be a coward now You gotta get beyond the doubt In the end you’ll remember how you did your thing Don’t be a coward now You gotta get beyond the doubt In the end you’ll remember how you did your thing You didn’t know that you knew it But you knew it, yeah You didn’t know how to do it But you did it, yeah You kept movin’ underground in the tunnel Lookin’ out for the light at the end Kept searchin’ for the sound of your people When you needed a friend

Soul Calendar 04:07
lyrics
I'm gonna write you down in my soul calendar With a touch of serendipity you could change my world I want the Universe to use me, synchronistically Open up my possibilities, unfold my destiny Why don't you kill me? Kill me with your kindness I'll knock you dead with sweet forgiveness So fill me up with a promise: Stick together, let's keep it honest Will we see the end of the violence? We will not be silent Still we light a candle in the darkness, there's no way to hide us If peace & love are the bread & butter Well then trust is the cherry pie It's time we learn how to hold one another 'Cause baby, it's OK to cry Little chicks are ready to fly the nest There's a new world being born *Each death is the middle of a long life Where the eagle flies above the storm *From the Celtic proverb, “Death is the middle of a long life,” as quoted by Michael Meade

Grief and Praise 03:54
lyrics
*Grief and praise, grief and praise Oh the world it turns around Grief and praise, grief and praise I was lost, now I am found [Repeat] Can you feel it in your bones, yeah, in your bones Crackin’ you open like a stone, yeah, like a stone I wanna feel it in my bones, yeah, in my bones Crackin’ me open like a stone, yeah, like a stone There’s no wrong way to cry We all have our day to die It’s written in history that death is a mystery With love, I know that we can get by... oh Grief and praise, grief and praise Oh the world it turns around Grief and praise, grief and praise I was lost, now I am found [Repeat] Can you feel it in your bones, yeah, in your bones Crackin’ you open like a stone, yeah, like a stone I wanna feel it in my bones, yeah, in my bones Crackin’ me open like a stone, yeah, like a stone They hold us and make it all right With their rose-colored honey light It’s written in history that death is a mystery With love, I know that we can get by... oh Grief and praise, grief and praise Oh the world it turns around Grief and praise, grief and praise I was lost, now I am found [Repeat] *The phrase “Grief and praise” is inspired by the writings of Martin Prechtel and is used with his permission.
