BE DIVINE 04:37
Heaven save me from myself That little voice that comes from hell What is hell? It’s my design A disconnection from the divine Sometimes I don’t see my worth Living breathing here on this earth Why must I be burned? By myself overturned I’ve turned No more No more I’m closing up that door I’m living in an endless possibility No more No more I want my soul to soar My mind is not what matters My heart and soul are my lord So I search out every day Walk about in a divine way And humble is as humble does Lord knows I never judge I look for the beauty and the truth I look to the light I see in you A negative mind can bring me down If I’m not careful I may drown I’ve drown No more No more I’m closing up that door I’m living in an endless possibility No more No more I want my soul to soar My mind is not what matters My heart and soul are my lord And you know oh We can be strong yeah All along Together we can be strong Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah I said it’s worth believing This life I will believe in I know what it’s worth to be living And that we can be forgiven Set this world on fire A burning hearts desire Set this world alight Set this world a… Does anyone have a light?

BLUE-GREEN 04:38
“BLUE-GREEN” Call me sad Call me blue Call me anything you wanted to Say it again you know its true Often times I’m pretty blue Why do we love? Love is blue Blue is green and green is you You are the earth you know its true That I lived to love you So how can I just walk away? Just fall away, Disintegrate How can you ask me to just fade away? Like the sun in my day was sold to the shade How can our love just fade away? Just fall away, Disintegrate How can our love just fade away? So you called me sad, you called me blue You called me everything in the book that you knew You said it again, but you’ve lost your tune Cause you said it in love, in love with you Call me blue you know you’re green Green as the envy between your teeth You know I loved you true And would have been always there for you So how can I just fade away? Just walk away, Disintegrate How can you ask me to just fade away? Like the sun in your day was sold to the shade How can our love just fall away? Just fade away, Disintegrate How can our love just fade away? You know it’s so hard When you’re surfing in your own backyard The neighbors they love your barking dogs Killin’ time kickin’ sipping off our love It’s so hard I’ll be ok I’ll be ok I’ll learn to live a life alone I’ll be all right I know it’s right Even when It feels so wrong I’ll be alright I know this night Belongs to me and me alone I’ll be ok what else can I say I loved you to much and now your gone I’ll be all right I’ll look inside Look to the night and find We all need a home I won’t be happy when you’re gone We all need a home It goes on, I found a home in your eyes But they looked on, unhappy with what they got Thought you were being strong, now you’re unhappy with someone else, it goes on You must be happy with yourself To go on and be happy with someone else Or It goes on, the beat goes on

DREAM AWAY 04:30

“READY FOR LOVE” Hey baby I’m tired It’s been a long cold lonely summer Hey lady if your listening I’ve got to tell you something you’ll wanna here I’ve been crying for years Over tears I’ve shed in the past I’ve been lying for years To myself and to my friends Yeah I’m over that now Now It’s snowing its cold out I’ve been lost on this lonely back road I’ve been solo for so long I think there’s someone else that should know There are things that I’ve said I can’t take back so I’m black with sorrow I just want you to know I know we’ll grow Together forever yeah of this I am sure I’m ready, I’m ready for love yeah It’s been 7 days and 3 years since I’ve saved No pennies to my name yet my face just the same Seems I’ve found another way To live each day before it’s gone away I let my mind run away Now I’m free from astray I’m ready, I’m ready for love yeah 7 years and 7 days and 7 ways to Say what your sayin’ 7 lives or maybe its 9 oh you’ll never know Till it’s your time it’s our time

SAY TO ME 04:53
“SAY TO ME” Say to me you’re a lover Let me know you’re uncovered Breath with me to be sober Life’s too lonely to be over Oh say it kind to me, Oh say it kind and be Over, Over it How do you, even know my name? We never, even played that game And how can you be so untrue? To all you stand for red white and blue You know you’re subject to Lies and oppression Living a lesson The truths what we make it Let's prey they don’t break it It’s so hard when you don’t know your name Your face is changed almost every day Wrung up and down like a worthless rag Back in from New York and they lost my bag Don’t spread your soul as thin as ice So cold it’s cracked your thin disguise Pinch your skin realize you’re alive The mind can take you on such a ride Don’t give in to, lies and oppression, living a lesson To stand on the sidelines, No watch to keep the time Can’t make any comments, when you’re not doing Nothin’ Give into the normal And you will be sub-terminal We’re all alike; We want to live the good life We’re all alike; We love to put up a fight There’s no need to fight, We can all live the good life Give in to this life, A cornucopia of love

SAIDJA 03:39
“SAIDJA” Saidja gonna find what you wanting to be Saidja gonna find what your wanting in me Saidja gonna find what you want to be Saidja gone find a little loving So take a look inside now and see what you see It may not be the prettiest thing on the tree But you could get to liking it if you just relax Maybe kick back and kiss some ass Don’t say what you hatin’, Say what you lovin’ Cause that’s what you makin’, Make what you're sayin Count towards something, be open to lovin There’ll be No more runnin’, from what you are saying, right now Of all of the impossible things that could be I never once thought that you could get under me And burn to the ground the place, which I stand What the hell, I dealt you the hand So why would you come back? I guess just to see What there is left inside left inside me And to your surprise and to my sustain Amongst the ashes I remain the same I say what I’m lovin’, Don’t say what I’m hatin’ Cause that’s what I’m makin’, Make what your sayin’ Count towards something, Be open to lovin’ there’ll be No more runnin’, From what your sayin’, right now Be open to loving, right now I can get to say these things because I am free I may not be the prettiest thing on the tree I had to learn to love myself to get where I am So I could withstand the master plan You see its become clear now, Clearer to me That all of what we do now, we do to we And how can we absolve ourselves from all of our Shame? Give up our world, the world of blame Just say what you're lovin’, Don’t say what you're hatin’ Cause that’s what you're makin’, Make what your sayin’ Count towards something, Be open to lovin’ there’ll be No more runnin’, From what you are sayin’ Right now

MONSTER 03:00
"MONSTER" Last time I saw your face you were on a poster It didn’t look like you it looked like a monster Changing your ideals to fit inside a genre Now I now what you are you’re just an imposter And she said! Last time I licked your face you were in a coma You shouldn’t subject your body to the drama Living in your house of luxury In the penthouse of your misery I think I love you, wanna give you good love too Reach out and touch me want you above me I think I love you, wanna give you good love too Reach out and touch me touch me with your mind You call me up on the phone And tell me that you’re all alone Come on over for a drink Let me think, baby let me think Why you gotta treat me so mean Meanest little thing I ever did see Your misery I think I love you, wanna give you good love too Reach out and touch me want you above me I think I love you, wanna give you good love too Reach out and touch me, touch me with your mind I know what you be wantin’ from me In the day time about a quarter to 3 And I wait so patiently Come on and get it, what you be wanting from I love you Give you good love too ah hah Reach out and touch me, oh yeah Want you above me, oh
12.
“STILL STANDING" You left me standing in the rain My heart is filled with all your pain There are no stars up in the sky not tonight You got me feeling like I’ll fly away away Never had to say the word goodbye Never had to bless your tears goodbye The fog rolls in like dusty souls Whispering words that I’ve been told before Comet crashes through the sky why can’t I? Moonbeams shattering in my eyes Never had to say the word goodbye Never had to bless your tears goodbye Never had to say the word goodbye I tried to live amongst your friends You put me through the light and dark of a man But I’ve learned and I know now that We are all as one we come from the sun Roaming round the world never looking back Flying though the signs left by ancient time We are all as one we come from the sun

about

This album was a labor of love and a monumental breaking of barriers in my life. Special thanks to all my spiritual teachers, friends, family and lovers who helped me get this far. I look forward to much much more.

Special thanks to Tej Kaur Khalsa who without her help I'd probably still be sitting on this record.

And a special thanks to my best friend donna freeman for all your support this past decade! I couldn't have done this without you! For real!

*** I planned this album as a record. The songs are specifically ordered the way I'd like them to be listened to at least the first time you hear them. ***

Please enjoy and thank you so much for your support!
