1. From Here
VERSE
I can see those ocean eyes from here
Oh they touch me now and they drown my fears
And I, I can feel your warm embrace form here
Though you are far out there
I’m half a world away but I see you
I can still feel you from here
I’m half a world away but my night dream
Echoes through your day dreaming from here
We look at different sky, walk on different earth
Different ways of life, across these ocean tides
We look at different sky, walk on different earth
Different ways of life, across these oceans tides
And I, how I miss your miss your smile
I would fly ten thousand miles for you
How I wish to trace your smile
In the end I’d run those miles to you
MUSIC INTERLUDE
VERSE
Threading dreams from where I lie, silken vales shade my eyes
Silver dreams under my, night sky your light sky
Threading dreams from where I lie, as light dawns on your ocean eyes
Fills the space between your sun rise, my moon rise
I lay here, I pray her
I wait here ‘til I’ll run run run run back to you
I pray here, try not to cry here
Hope you will wait for me to come come come back home to you
Come come back home to you
Back to you oh hey hey, back to you oh hey hey
I will run run run run back to you
3. Have Hope
VERSE
My mother’s best friend she caught the disease, it carved out her insides
I went down to that big city, and I sang at her bedside, and a few weeks later she died
CHORUS
Hope hope, hope hope, hope hope, have hope
VERSE
My father’s sister she caught the disease, it’s eating her mind
We were blinded by distance we could not see, she tried to take her own life
CHORUS x2
Hope hope, hope hope, hope hope, have hope
VERSE
My family out there they’ve caught the disease, its spreading through war cries
It tears down their homes puts bullets in their souls with ease, oh my Lord its terrifying, so we’ll sing
CHORUS x4
Hope hope, hope hope, hope hope, have hope
5. Surrender
VERSE
When you’re falling down
Flying out
Out of bounds
All you need is rest
When you’re falling down
And the dancing fire fly lands on your skin
You are blessed
You are blessed
Face succumb to the frost
Starlight fight the distance
Brings forth the fogginess
Brings to life existence
CHORUS
[Ooohing] x4
Don’t let skeletons be your words
Don’t let talking be all that’s heard
Listen close release them ropes
Sister River let me swim
I bend I flex I’m falling down
I ebb I flow am freezing now
Feel the consequences of time
I breathe it in so I can breathe it out
[Aaahing] x4
VERSE
Breathe the deep
Meet what’s true
Let surrender wrap me up
Let there be trust
BRIDGE
With rain comes my inspiration
Guides me to deep pools drowns me in emotion
Drowns me in emotion
It breathes at its height in the night
The light brings with it a whole new sight
Brings with it a whole new sight
Reflections gleam minds do dream
Foresight climbs with a greater might
Climbs with a greater might
The rain in me moves with the thunder
Seeks a pilgrimage deep deep under
Deep deep under
Where down and up feel much the same
All living without a frame
Here there is no shame
Just truth in its rawest proof
Where only rain can soothe my mighty flames
Where only rain can soothe my mighty flames
CHORUS x8
[Aaahing]
CODA
I bend I flex I’m falling down
I ebb I flow am freezing now
Feel the consequences of time
I breathe it in so I can breathe it out
When you’re falling down
Flying out
Out of bounds
All you need is rest
2. Motionless
VERSE
I wanted to be saved from the safety
Given white, blank pages for drawing on
Now I’m confused for where I’m going
Cut into pieces I am torn torn torn
Between the Sun and the Moon
So tell me how am I supposed to choose?
You’ve come and gone with the mist
Like the swarming heat amongst sky scrapers
And like the sea leaves land all I see is a waving hand
As I stand motionless
CHORUS
Good bye for now or shall it be forever
This time we’ve spent together
Its beaming with light and colours so bright
But all that’s left is one lost letter
VERSE
I want you to tell me what your travelling eyes have seen?
Blood from the nights when we did not sleep
And tell me have you dreamed the dream that did or
Did you sleep motionless?
CHORUS
Good bye for now or shall it be forever
This time we’ve spent together
Its beaming with light and colours so bright
But all that’s left is one lost letter
4. Tracks
VERSE
He travels by day sleeps through the night
Under star filled haze he’s learned many rights
Shepherd boy tell me the story
Of the path before you hardly worn
Of the girl left behind you heart broken and torn
Feel your feel don’t stop moving on
Your eyes are wondering
Hearts meet and greet but don’t stop walking
Tell me of that hill too hard to climb
Of that river where you drink and spend your time
Tell me that song the old furs mourn
Most of all tell me what keeps you moving moving on
Your tracks are hardly hardly worn they are your tracks
CHORUS
With silence by his side he walks
With fear by his side he walks
With hope by his side he walks
With love by his side he walks
Body following behind he walks
Teacher whisper in his ear he keeps on walking on
POST-CHORUS
One step at a time, spirit is his guide
One step at a time
VERSE
To his dear father do you weep
Each night you pray before you sleep
Extra plate bare at the table
Chilled bed cold in the stable
You know his feet are scared but strong
You know his nights are short but days long
He is on his track
He is on his track
Boy on the street
You admire those cut feet
You cast dreams and tales through your mind
Around you are people tired and blind
But not the shepherd boy
Beneath he grime he shines
He is on his track
He is on his track
CHORUS
With silence by his side he walks
With fear by his side he walks
With hope by his side he walks
With love by his side he walks
Body following behind he walks
Teacher whisper in his ear he keeps on walking on
POST-CHORUS
One step at a time, spirit is his guide
One step at a time
BRIDGE
Ohhhing
CHORUS
With silence by his side he walks
With fear by his side he walks
With hope by his side he walks
With love by his side he walks
Body following behind he walks
Teacher whisper in his ear he keeps on walking on
POST-CHORUS
One step at a time, spirit is his guide
One step at a time
6. Give It Simple
VERSE
Give life to me simple now mmmh
Give it to me heart felt now come on people
Give it to me so full
I want it spirit filled
When you’re walking talking laughing
Whatever give it your loving
Good full belly laughter now
Not one of those giggly little things
Let them hear from the corners of their minds
Give me mountains to climb
Give me spirit of the wonderer
In all its shapes and forms to me it calls
CHORUS x2
In play and work let the world be my education
VERSE
Give me no dress to wear nuh-uh
I’ve got my own skin I’m comfortable in
Give me no shoes for walking in
Just my bare feet on the wonders of the earth gets me further
I need no tin whistle to blow in
Just my own voice with the wind
Give me no paper writing
I want stories from the people come on people
CHORUS x2
In play and work let the world be my education
BRIDGE
Oh-oh-oh let me go where the wind blows
What happened with connection to the soul oh?
I don’t know but people don’t let it go
Scrap the analysing calculating fussing with creating surface judgments
Just let it be or take it in your stride
Notice you’re learning from it
[Eyoh-oh-oh] x8
Mixed messages fill the mind
Crowded with judgement we are blind
Walk from the heart unite the tribe
Time alone time within building with fellow kin
Sisters and brothers dance free
In the river of humanity
These depths ‘re our home
For a short time alone
Not forever so don’t break the ice no
We are creators not destroyers
Come on employ this
Love for all that is
For the earth each other each spirit that lives
Oh spirit oh spirit I’m calling to you now
Feel the rhythm
Love the rhythm
Protect the rhythm
The rhythm of Mother Earth
CHORUS
In play and work let the world be my edu- education
Let the world be my edu- education
