Sometimes summer rains Sometimes deserts sinks in the fool As I lay without a thought in my head Without a worry I am glad For the meager bit of mad You become in your sleep Like a dandelion tea And you weep on your knees For your answers See in your eyes Light defines you means With no end You've got it all along The spiral from within You never had to know The truth just flows You're beautiful The purity you seek Is within you It celebrates you It's the shine See in your eyes Light defines you means With no end You got it all along The spiral from within You never had to know The truth just flows You're beautiful

My shirt's unbuttoned I've got a tattoo It says everything and nothing and you are too I feel the back of my sight where I can't see I know there is light just waiting for me And a photon goes where a photon goes Everywhere else, well nobody knows I've got plenty of bad to feel for free So let’s not make math and add guilt to a heavy load The evolution of guilty man trying to be clean The better part of him is his foresight to be seen There never was a problem But the one he made in self-esteem Oh golly miss molly can we just forgive the man? I see sin in my eye, but the sin is a floater It's not the tree that’s wavy, but the heat from the fire I've got bills to pay, I've got mouths to feed If you don't like the song Well pay yourself some sympathy I could waste the day, I could blame myself I'll keep to honesty and thank you as well We made it off with the pot of gold And the leprechaun said Take the whole damn rainbow The evolution of a human isn't perfect But it's worth the flaws One foot before the other and We'll make it to the kingdom come A lovely life a middle way with moderation in everything The whole blessed mountain Had an elevator the whole time Sweet, sweet empathy Bind the blind with sight to see And give, give our heart a home It’s a vagabond lately and could use a name Sweet, sweet blessed free Kindly guide us to The Living Tree And saint, saint I’ll never meet This world is a garden and Could use a few good hands This world is a garden

She prayed to the sun It burnt her tongue as she spouted out amen She never took a man for what he didn’t have She held the baby dead in her maternal hands The tears she shed shook the earth to her bed and she sang: Baby, baby go to sleep You never have to fear a thing for me The pastor said you’re born in sin But I don't like the lies of him Close your eyes and rest in peace And I will see you on the other side If you're alone keep me inside If there's nothing after this Then there's nothing to fear, my kid Soon you'll know what the best of us have only dreamed of God take my child! She washed her hands of the gravel And took a breath of the bounty She had a life and she could cry no more The love she felt left her mouth Then in vowel and song that shook mountain And she cried up and the world took her voice and she said Mother earth don’t cry for me My seed is well and lives in me So take the breath of the bounty And love the ones that’s around us Cause we all die and we all see We shall see and she sang: Baby, baby go to sleep You never have to fear a thing for me The pastor said you’re born in sin But I don't like the lies of him Just close your eyes and rest in peace Rest in peace

He grabs his coat and hits the road He doesn't know where he will go But he takes steps to make it so He says the same twelve stories Every person that he knows Knows that he's down and out He glows, he's got a fire in his belly He's got wisdom of the century He says that no one knows but got here And though we know not what we are We still try and hold us austere All the empty implies fill me Help me I'm about out of me Poverty is wealth and wealth is poverty There's nothing here in this body shell Just mirrors and mirrors and shine

Marigolds 03:27
Patience is the stead of search You'll get nowhere without Hope can be as selfish as a fish Searching for a cloud So swim you little thing You've got fins and gills and joy Make good with what you got It's more than you'll ever know Rock your boat to shore and bind us like a torch Did you finish your report? The world won't wait no more There's something at the door For you, for me, for we A field of marigolds is a hard thing to hold A lover with a candle can burn away Some of that cold But love was never a tool A fire to burn a veil The depths of our passions will prevail So set your doubts to north And bind us like a torch Did you finish your report? The world won't wait no more There's something at the door For you, for me, for we Presence is a gift that blossoms forth

I didn't break anything It was like that when I got here All that water on the floor Flowers in your eyes All that paranoia you held under your arm Like a cradle to protect you In a holster on your side I wanted happiness, happiness Happiness you can bet it on your life I don't want anything, anything I don't claim anything I was created it's not mine I believe it's gonna be alright I believe it's gonna be just fine My sister says it all works out in the end And if it's not worked out yet it's not the end All that paranoia, paranoia Just building up and it’s boiling over All that love persecuted Love persecuted It’s building up and it’s boiling over You can't hold anymore, hold anymore You've held it all up and you can't hold anymore All that love persecuted, love persecuted It’s just building up and it’s boiling over I believe it's gonna be alright I believe it's gonna be just fine My sister says it all works out in the end And if it's not worked out yet it's not the end It's coming to you, It's coming to you No matter what anyone else does All that good you earned all that you deserve I believe it's coming to you, it’s coming to you I believe it's gonna be alright I believe it's gonna be just fine My sister says it all works out in the end And if it's not worked out yet it's not the end
