The Avenue 04:20
The Avenue’s a river I have watched it for years as it flowed and ebbed as it reveled as it hid its aching need Beauty like a flower Fragile as a flower child grown old She’s reaching out to strangers for love because there’s no one else to hold (chorus) The way this river flows You just hold on with all your might It's dangerous and beautiful Raging rich with life The avenue’s a river With predators and safe shore The ave is a late night friend who welcomes me when no one’s home Flocks of tattooed children Land upon this shore To rest their wings by the riverbank When there’s nothing else so sure (chorus) The way this river flows You just hold on with all your might It's dangerous and beautiful And raging rich with life (bridge) We’re swimming fighting our way upstream for a reason that no one knows when at last we find our way maybe we can return to the ocean The avenue flows out around the light the dark so intermingled this river made me the way I am and carved me like a stone Some they walk so quickly by That they miss the fortune tellers when you look into their faces won’t you read between the lines The way this river flows You just hold on with all your might It's dangerous and beautiful And raging rich with life

Looking to you for home When will I ever stop looking to you for home Looking to you for home When will I ever stop looking to you VERSE 1 What’s become of navigation? Shake my fist futile frustration I am tossed on the open sea My heart is my compass Love you are my guide So what or where is my destination? CHORUS Looking to you for home Where I can let my guard down Where I'm at ease Looking to you for home Someone so familiar One thing I know VERSE 2 You are the eyes in the mountainside The being in the breath Something that’s so ancient Nearly makes me forget You are familiar as the morning Spacious and close in Knows just where the hell I’ve been (CHORUS) Looking to you for home When the day is done And my trials have come Looking to you for home It's a habit see my bones even know Where to go BRIDGE And if the weather is good or the weather is bad you are where I am You are where I have always turned VERSE 3 A thousand lives we scheme while precious moments fly And after this is past And we have shed our names even if we don’t drink deeply a taste could be enough Bow my head to the four directions Seeking my true North CHORUS Looking to you for a word That gives me just a grain That helps me maintain My hope, my love Shall we turn the page Or can we begin again?

I can’t take no more Bad news no, no, not today Nothing seems to matter And it all just turns to gray You found me when I needed you You gave me what I need A message from the other side Says spirit is free (CHORUS) Music lifted me Music lifted me Music lifted me With you I have found my home I’ve truly found my home Where I can dream boldly where I can be known Boldly laughing, singing, crying Boldly living, bolding dying And all the while An old song on my lips (CHORUS) The times they are a changing And they won't go back again Both eyes on the future Although it breaks my heart I want to hear the voices That inspired and revived her Giggling girl Now see how you have changed

The Frame 04:31
In my lifetime I was freer to roam no one could find me so far from home now there’s walls and barriers meant to keep them out meant to keep us in Be a gambler now And play to win Let’s turn the tables Let's start again Speak your truth and don’t look down don’t look down Where you hold the frame Will decide what you capture let this moment go and what will come after It’s a musical chairs and the music has stopped this is your moment (2X) Lucky fellas think they own the world I think it's time to break the news That wealth is just a notion They put in your head Just to dazzle and confuse Gardeners in the city Gardens on the roofs Coaxing life from concrete dizzy with the thought of all that freedom and the power to decide (End) close my eyes Sun upon my face Lift my head /Speak my truth fear dissipate

Would you know a good thing If you held it in your hand If I held you so completely Would you finally understand Like a wedding glass of wine Too refreshing just to sip Dance and twirl my darling Will you catch me if I slip? (CHORUS) Do you want me to come visit in the night upon a hill Am I some apparition or just a story that you tell? Do you need an anchor or a friend along your path? Do you want us to be something built to last? (CHORUS) I have seen you in the dark I have seen you in the light Neither of us perfect Mostly it's twilight We could drift like this forever keep each other company But I think I need to know right now Who you want to be (CHORUS) We’ll never know from talking Walls of words that keep us out Sometimes it’s the silence That makes me want to shout Are we killing time my baby Or are we going somewhere? Sink or swim survival Or will you take me there? (CHORUS)

Mama learned to pray today it's been so long coming I want to call you all and say the magic works and she’s coming home There a farmer’s daughter feed the cows and haul the water prove them all wrong Beautiful and headstrong Some roads bring you closer Some take you farther away Some things get broken some things get worn away Grace, sometimes you gotta dig so deep Grace, sometimes you gotta let it go Bridge: Was your dream deferred? Did we get it right? Can we offer words instead of fight? Easy chair don’t seem so easy now The queen hit the floor but she didn’t bounce back spent a long, long night contemplating her fate She was ready when the morning came Bring a blouse and a make-up case She said I don’t really need much where I’m going Grace, sometimes you gotta dig so deep deeper till you understand Mama learned to pray today It's been so long coming I want to call you all and say the magic works and she’s coming home coming home

Channeling all of this pain and disaster Into something better that maybe come after Learn a lesson or two along the way Bout a how to move yeah, from day to day Standing under a waterfall Inside my brain it’s a free for all Bones hold my structure everything’s fine the wave move through my body and my mind all at the same time oh all at the same time Cause somewhere between heaven and earth is me I learn to fight I got a duty and a right yeah Show me how to move with so much less resistance get out of my own way I can do anything today Macro cosmic universe rolling up and down and then it can reverse spiraling down let it hold you deep, down deep, deep in the earth no slack in your back, ready for attack iron shirt will defend me six directions wide My breath holds my place it's my guru and my guide Back to the mountain oh mountain Teach me how to climb That somewhere between heaven and earth is me I learn to fight I got a duty and a right yeah Show you how to move with so much less resistance get out of your own way you can do anything today My how you’ve grown My how you bow With so much tension There is sure to be release You got to move the center If you want to live

Sometimes I think how wonderful if we could live forever Other times I cannot see beyond another day Times are so uncertain and there is nowhere to hide Still I want to have some influence on how I live and die That’s when the ohm comes in That’s when the ohm comes in Grateful for these gifts and treasures so surrounding me Uncertain how to hold them all or maybe set them free Concrete on my shoulders and perfume in my hair I want to carry the load and still be sure there is a joyful place somewhere That’s when the ohm comes in That’s when the ohm comes in Stumbling down a corridor of darkness and derision Wounded now I’m wounding, afraid now I am feared Roiling up inside me now this passion and this rage That’s not how I want to move in this later age That’s when the ohm comes in That’s when the ohm comes in All good things come to an end and even bad things they must fall Don’t you get too comfortable, you can never be too sure The cycles turn the soil and the old becomes like new Then we start to understand what the ancient people knew

Bended Knee 03:42
Many days I have reread in my mind you see All the time and places that you been with me I see laughter tears of joy and reckoning I see clouds that won't part cause we tell them to And I am falling down on bended knee And I’m calling, calling out for mercy Excavations of our long lost history Only love could ever cause such misery Years have grown a comfortable barrier Trouble is you lost what you were looking for And I am falling on bended knee And I’m calling, calling out for mercy Sorry that I didn’t regret it fast enough I was still in shock at the wonder of Maybe someday there will be a monument To a love that was so one of a Kindness knows no shame And its easier to blame Than breathing through the tangles The things we didn’t know The weak and trembling places The wound that doesn’t show Many days I have reread in my mind you see All the time and places that you been with me I see laughter tears of joy and reckoning I still pray that there will come a someday And I am falling down on bended knee And I’m calling, calling out for mercy

I want to be with you but you’re somewhere else Captured by the small device you hold in your hand Baby can you hear me? Baby can you see? What have they done to you? Cyber tigers make a big splash But we all know this just won’t last The next best thing is coming, and they want you to drool I may be unaccustomed but I ain’t no fool CHORUS Searching for a line in the sand Searching for some crystal clarity Searching for our very bottom line Then we hold on to for dear life Little children make their way to the border Asking for help and I think they ought to Get a big welcome some love and attention Not years and years locked up in detention Once upon a time this land could welcome a stranger Now newcomers come but they represent danger A busload of refugees got stopped by an angry mob And the cops wouldn’t protect them cause that isn’t their job CHORUS We are watching the closing of the window What are we made of? How will we fight? Its unacceptable to keep watching the warning signs Without giving a peep, or moving a muscle So today we start all over call the game we’ll say you won But monuments don’t sparkle under a plastic sun And there’s no forgiveness for the innocents And they tell me that the struggle is real

Forever 03:07
I get so used to my heavy coat That I don’t notice when the spring has come It takes me awhile to decide that The coast is clear And we’re finally safe here The doors of my heart slide open And you go inside with ease I play it cool for a moment But that isn’t really what I mean CHORUS: Cause what I want to give you is forever I want to give you blue skies and water That’s good enough to drink Good enough forever Broken branches after the rain The power of the wind is an awesome thing Clear away the brush I love you just as much My love for you is like a mountain It goes much deeper than you see I’ll be here for a long time And you can depend me CHORUS BRIDGE: And what does it mean to swim through These complicated waters We all have a future We all have a past We do the best we can The best we can So if I’m not always there when you want me Just know I’ll be there if you need me For now I’m trying to make a place for us Where we can meet our maker and think for ourselves And if that ain’t love I don’t know what it is
