Gaze Hazy No need to stay awake This War is Crazy Create my own Space. Even if it's only in my head, I do Believe Even if it's only in our heads, We do believe That were stronger than... We are stronger than the US Military My Darling We've got it in our hands You are glowing Emit your stance. Even if it's only in my head, I do Believe Even if its only in our heads, maybe we do believe That we're stronger than all the militaries That we've got more clout than the monetary and maybe if we believe in our own sovereignty we could relax and live so peacefully Entrenched daydream Step Lightly on this earth Careen freely Stop my search Even if it's only in my head, we do believe Even if it's only in my head, I know I'm not crazy Even if it's only in my head, baby we do believe Even if it's only in my head, I feel free

Adam Smith 06:44
There's a clown in the rainforest and he's got a chainsaw in his pocket. He says "Boy I gotta do what I gotta do to run up that profit." But I said "How can you exploit the world when we're all of the same grace." He says "Boy, you'll soon learn that getting the most for yourself is your only worth." This man degrades. He knows nothing of the broad waves that connect all those living. All he'll take to the grave is a longing for some peace he never made. Smiling but caught somewhere 'tween ego and insecurity. He's heralded for what some call ingenuity. But I says "How can we rebuild the world when idolize his being?" He says "Boy you'll soon learn that getting the most for yourself first is your and the earth's only worth." We can't let him lead For he's lost the means to connect with other Living, Living things He can find it in the laughter of a child He can find it in the refuge of the wild He can find it on the wings of an albatross He can find it if he's not afraid of loss

Once upon a time the vines they climbed so high, they defined us all in their confines. And it was a crime to cut them, For those who primed them pepper-sprayed all of us into their sins. It hasn't rained for days. The cracked dirt swelters in a haze. And we the people are in a craze cause we're waiting to be saved by some holy sage. Who's going to quench our thirst? I look to the sky for birth. Could the search define our worth? I look to the sky and my eyes burn. It's only getting worse. We ran through the forests maze. Through the vines that have grown crooked from our grandfather's ways. When we find nothing my wills beat down by the suns rays. As we break down and pray we see the forest ignite ablaze. So we ran from the flames takin all that we might want to remain. We're helpless to nature's instincts. We can only gaze and watch that world burn away. We escape the flames. New time will make out hearts firm to peel. We learn that we define what is real. It's not their confines we should live by, but whatever it is that we feel! and inside you sense so much more open your heart and explore the vast horizons of you. In the ashes we'll that what's important - the nutrients - still remains. When we work together we'll be the change that's been waiting. A belief in the new place will guide us straight. When we work together we'll be the change, We'll be the change the drought was signaling. We escape the flames. The tao will flow to a new phase We escape the flames Place our hearts firm to peel. Learn that inside our minds we define what is real. It's not their confines we should live by, but whatever it is that we feel.

To Day 05:05
A breath, A sigh unleashed at dawn The fresh pink soaks a new days calm As the breaking sun hovers in my dew soaked leaves I perceive that serenity exists It's just been waiting for so long. To receive my to be released by my tender bliss. I need the sun to feel my peace Radiance allows me to be I need to branch out to feel the breeze For I am only a union becoming Because I inhale today, I must love the chase that's coming. Because I exhale today, I must love myself and the embrace Cause it's not right if we can't meet half-way.
