Another tribe... another brother
Torn between his lover and the gun
Another god... another mother
Weeps to justify the damage done
I wonder through the lies and dirt
I wonder, will the meek inherit all the earth?
As truth collides with propaganda
Just another victim on the run
The world outside, all fluff and candour
Seeks to justify the damage done
No wonder, so much pain and hurt
I wonder, will the meek inherit all the earth?
I think there may be..a war in heaven
Paradise beneath the smoking gun
As every saint and small town saviour
Race to justify their chosen one
I wonder, as our world collides
I want to reach out there
Across the great divide
Shine It All Around
This is the land where I live
Paint it all over golden
Take a little sunshine spread it all around
This is the love that I give
These are the arms for the holding
Turn on your love light shine it all around
Shine it all around, shine it all around
These are the times of my life
Bright and strong and golden
This is the way that I choose when the deal goes down
This is the world that I love
Painted all over troubled
Take a little sunshine shine it all around
End a little sign now, spread it all around now
Hine it all around now, when the deal goes down now
Shine it all around, Shine it all around
This is the heart of the man
This is the heart of the matter
Break a little bread now spread it all around
E a little bread now, all around
Shine it all around, shine it all around
Freedom Fries
The father, son and the three wise men
Operating undercover out in Bethlehem
Will they heal the sick? Can they raise the dead?
Can they bring it on home like the good book says?
Billy the Kid told the Prince of Thieves
A little give and take to satisfy my needs
You can give me lots but I'll take some more
I got my eyes on your treasure beneath the desert floor?
Freedom fries and burns and scars
The liberator goes too far
Freedom fries and screams and yells
The promised land is promised hell
Tin Pan Valley
I come from Tin Pan Valley and I'm moving right along
I live on former glory, so long ago and gone
I'm turning down the talk shows, the humour and the couch
I'm moving up to higher ground, I've found a new way out
There's parasols and barbeques and loungers by the pool
The late night conversations filled with 20th century cool
My peers may flirt with cabaret, some fake the rebel yell
Me - I'm moving up to higher ground, I must escape this hell
Let me suspend my thirst for knowledge in your powder, sweat and sighs
A grudge of Christian women, a stain of spotless wives
A perfect destination inside a perfect world
I take the bottle to the baby, you take the hammer to the pearl
Like this
Every day's like Sunday, down here on memory lane
Salad days and no good ways drive me quite insane
A cocktail clouded troubadour attempts to speak in tongues
He's said enough, I'm through the door I'm moving right along
Like this
All The King's Horses
Swift and true straight to my heart
Love has come calling and I'm back there again
I pour myself a brand new start
Glad to be falling for the beauty within.
All the King's horses, all the King's men
I'm on the outside looking in
Over and over and over again
There's no telling where I've been
How I returned here, how much I have seen
All the King's horses, all the King's men
I'll weave a circle round the sun
Throw down my arms and give my all
I'll be your soldier of love
I'll weave a circle round the sun
Throw down my arms and give my all
I'll be your soldier of love
I am your soldier of love
The Enchanter
She moves through the mountains and down to the sea
She sings in celebration with her piper for me
She's leading the man who's beating the drum
Love is all around her on the road to the sun
Round, round, moving me round
Round, round the air
She's lost in conversation with the birds of the air
She's trading information in a world without fear
She's fixing up a potion made of laughter and love
And I will follow the enchanter on the road to the sun
Round, round, moving me round
Round, round, round
Oh that the stars will light my way
Oh as my tides dance the ebb and sway
She's studying the planets and she's searching for signs
Her eyes promise mystery and her treasure to find
She's mixing my emotions it's so easily done
In a league with the enchanter on the road to the sun
Oh that the stars will light my way
Oh as my tides dance the ebb and sway
It's so very easily done
She moves through the mountains and down to the sea
She sings in celebration with her piper for free
She's leading the man who's beating the drum
And love is all around her on the road to the sun
Takamba
Sing a song of freedom write it in the sky
Pocket full of secrets, a belly full of lies
Fiction to believe in, created then denied
Tricks and mirror
Sleight of hand
Hoola hoola
Promised land
Rhyme and reason
Smoke and fire
Hoola hoola
Truth and lies
Hail the gift of memory in this fifty-second state
Who sold me down the river and shafts me while he waits
Outside the gates of Eden, star spangled and so late
Tricks and mirror
Sleight of hand
Hoola hoola
Promised land
Rhyme and reason
Smoke and fire
Hoola hoola
Truth and lies
Dancing In Heaven
There'll be dancing in heaven
On the night before the longest day
A celebration in rhythm
At this time it was always this way
Sing out for the one light,
Reach out to the flame
So fine so fine
That we can make it this way
Sing the song of the ages
Giving voice on this beautiful night
Feed the flame in high places
From the earth to the giver of light
Sing out for the one light
Reach out to the flame
So fine so fine
That we can make it this way
Bringing peace to the valley
Carry fire through the oaks and the grove
Precious memory carry
As we move through the circles and stones
Sing out to the one light
Reach out to the flame
So fine, So fine
That we can make it this way
Somebody Knocking
Big star
She rising, she warning
Mamma it ain't long before the day
Red rooster
He crowing, he wanting
Blue moon on the wane
Ol black snake
He crawling, slip sliding
Crawling cross my floor
Old mule come
He jumping, he kick
Kicking in my stall
Casting your spell, talking all out of your head
I hear it, round midnight
I hear it, somebody knocking on my door
I hear it, round midnight
Somebody knocking on my door
Casting your spell, talking all out of your head
Let The Four Winds Blow
And I open my eyes
As the sun leaves the western sky
Precious memory dies
Once again you are here at my side
Blow wind blow
Through my heart let the four winds blow
And I'm back on the hill
Yes you've gone but you're with me still
Now I'm way down the line
Yes you're gone but you're still on my mind
Blow wind blow
Through my heart let the four winds blow
I've been walking with strangers and talking all out of my mind
While the dogs in the manger, elusive and so hard to find
Conversations with angels, I seek the dimensional key
I been wheeling and dealing whatever will bring you to me
Blow wind blow
Through my heart let the four winds blow
Blow wind blow
Through my heart let the four winds blow
I've been walking with strangers and talking all out of my mind
Now the dogs in the manger, elusive and so hard to find
Conversations with angels, I seek the dimensional key
I been wheeling and dealing whatever will bring you to me
Mighty Rearranger
Last night as I was laying down and thinking
I was wondering about the road that lies ahead
In my mind I heard the wisdom of the Master
Hey Robert those dreams are only in your head
Last night as I was dreaming about the future
Living out my time the days and years ahead
I was moving with the Mighty Rearranger
I was thinking about the wisdom that he said
Mighty Rearranger
Last night as I was walking with an angel
Sweet talking and romancing in my mind
Yes I know this life is filled with danger
She tell me daddy good love is hard to find
Last night I came upon a stranger
He smiled at me and this is what he said
If you're troubled send your mind out on vacation
Let it wonder like the wild geese in the west
Mighty Rearranger
Brother Ray

All The Money In The World
All of the money in the world
Your living in a house of glass
There's no place left you can hide
Your running from the sea and the crash
where everything beautiful died
Your living in a house of cods
your waiting for the weather to turn
i dont know how you made it this far
and i'll feel my bridges are burned
all of the money, the money in the world
wont bring you back your reason
wont bring you back your world
you waited till the last resort
to mix some of the truth with the lying
your waiting for the damage report
its there in the smoke without frying
Yeah, you want to think its house of cards, thats called word twisting. Or, poetry.
The resort, the sea, everything beautiful died, damage report...
