Green light, woke from a dream like
One chance, capture the moment (here)
Before the rise of the oceans (fear)
No time for that, got to hold a (clear)
Picture of what you imagined
Why not? The worst that that could happen
You fall get back up in action
More stories to keep ya laughin’
I don’t know bout that planet
I know I like this one lots
Don’t wanta be At-lantis
Don’t wanta be
Shipwrecked lost
Let’s keep this sailing
Charting courses with that cosmiclight
Constellation, conversations to
Keep us all charged up just
write about it and sing about it
pray about it just think about it
We made it outta this soup
dono about you but I feel that’s proof
Something is meaningful out of the nothingness
We were like poof....
One breath, one time..
Live and direct from this recording booth
Casting my love out to you (you) like
Green light, go for your dreams
One chance, capture the moment (here)
Before the rise of the oceans (fear)
No time for that, got to hold a (clear)
Picture of what you imagined
Why not? The worst that that could happen
You fall get back up in action
More stories to keep ya laughin’
Imagine how we look to the stars
Rushing through the days in our cars
Missing out on the sunsets
The song of the flowers
Is never that far away from here
Crawled out the murk, fall to the earth
Adam and Eve, whatever Was first
Eat off the land, seeds in the dirt
Grew to expand our brains With words
Sea full of fish, trees full of birds
Made us some tech, changed how we work
Billed every hour, built up the towers
Paving the fields, we Killed all the flowers
But I don’t want to see that planet
These ways ain’t worth that much
And we can adapt
Manage ourselves better, our health better
Our wealth, spreading the trust
The way that we seek ain’t the way that it was
This is a snapshot:
Microphone stand and a laptop, singin’
Green light
Go for your dreams
One chance, capture the moment (here)
Before the rise of the oceans (fear)
No time for that, got to hold a (clear)
Picture of what you imagined
Why not? The worst that that could happen
You fall get back up in action
More stories to keep ya laughin’
Imagine how we look to the stars
Rushing through the days in our cars
Missing the sunsets
The song of the flowers
Is never that far away from here

The story’s gon’ change and glory don’t fade
Auditorium stages, I never was a jock too much
Sit in class learned to talk too much
Late nights on a walk To you (like “What’s good”)
Well the poetry sweeter with some chords on it
The road rides smooth like a board on it
When the goals grow gradually
Then respect comes natural, see how
Hard work pays, practice is free
Like some day-old-pastries
And patched up knees
In a nation of waste, land of the greed
Where we love to be famous
But hate to agree (what’s good?)
Better than we were now
There’s music in the earth, beauty in the dirt
It’s funny how it works out (works out)
To put it into words, so good that it hurts
Better than we were now
There’s music in the earth, beauty in the dirt
It’s funny how it works out (works out)
To put it into words, so good that it hurts
(What’s good?)
Tell me tell me what’s your favorite part
Is it the sweet sweet ice cream vibes
Or the heart shaped box on your night stand
Kiss in the dark
Hikes to the top of that hill by the park
We were sunset kids in a Seaside city
Where we undressed, jumped in the sound for a minute
Picked it up off the ground like a penny
29 times round but I feel like it’s 20
Laugh like it hurts but we live like it’s funny
Cook with some bokchoy
Tea with some honey
Rolled through the stop sign
Song probly stop time
Beat like a wave
We could surf on the top line
There’s music in the earth, beauty in the dirt
It’s funny how it works out
To put it into words
So good that it hurts
Better than we were now..
There’s music in the earth
Beauty in the dirt
It’s funny how it works out
To put it into words
So good that it hurts
When this all might’ fade in the blink of an instant
iPhone instincts, looking for the looong view
Sing best from a place in my chest, trust in the rest
Let’s see what the sooongs do
Living for the minute
Ride to the rhythm of
The tide comes in (sunsets)
Everybody got they eyes on it (one time)
What a chance we’re alive for this
Let’s try, uh, tell me What’s good?
It’s the vibe right now
It’s the love in the room
It’s a fine line, wow
We could really send it over the edge
What’s World War III in a world so sweet?
Seek out the real love on your people
Feel what you feel, came here for a reason
How could we stop this train?
I ain’t ever getting off this train
Better than we were now
There’s music in the earth
Beauty in the dirt
It’s funny how it works out
To put it into words
So good that it hurts
Better than we were now
There’s music in the earth
Beauty in the dirt
It’s funny how it works out
To put it into words
So good that it hurts

Bare feet in the dirt
Blessed to grow up
Running round and getting hurt
Bloody knees, climbing trees
Fall to the earth, hide and seeking
Capture flaggin on a search..
Bare feet in the dirt, yah
Bare feet in the dirt
Blessed to grow up
Rolling round and getting hurt
Bloody knees climbing trees
Fall to the earth
What are we seeking
What’s the answer to our search?
Don’t forget about the earth
Mama had a garden she was workin in the yard
And we was playing in the mud
Water soakin up the earth tones
Church goin’ folks
Later got up in that Sunday’s best
Birds flock but they first must leave they birds nest and fly
One can study wise words but then words often lie
Twist em up to obscure what’s underneath em
Use ‘em like a map but they are not the path, don’t forget it
When you pass where they point, don’t look back, you can leave em
In the dirt
Blessed to grow up
Running round and getting hurt
Bloody knees, climbing trees
Fall to the earth, hide and seeking
Capture flaggin on a search..
Bare feet in the dirt, yah
Bare feet in the dirt
Blessed to grow up
Rolling round and getting hurt
Bloody knees climbing trees
Fall to the earth
What are we seeking
What’s the answer to our search?
Don’t forget about the earth
Mama had a garden and we understood our part in it
Enmeshed into a web of life
Belonging to the heart of it
No wonder now we’re anxious
Our Culture stays at war with it
Broken-hearted people
In this old and tired story it’s
A shame we keep repeating
All these patterns self defeating
Hiding all our wounds,
It’s like laughing while you’re bleeding
Divided at the roots from our mother
Keep the truth from each other
What’s the use? Oh, my brother
When were you last...
Bare foot in the dirt
Blessed to grow up
Running round and getting hurt
Bloody knees, climbing trees
Fall to the earth, hide and seeking
Capture flaggin on a search..
Bare feet in the dirt, yah
Bare feet in the dirt
Blessed to grow up
Rolling round and getting hurt
Bloody knees climbing trees
Fall to the earth
What are we seeking
What’s the answer to our search?
Don’t forget about the earth
Reach down
Touch ground

I dreamed we woke up from a scheme
Flipped the script, changed the scenery
From gray scale concrete
To greenery
Ya I mean it takes a little work for a garden
But yo this foods delicious
Doesn’t show up wrapped in garbage...
Glowing with that good Qi
Just how it should be
Provide you nutrients, vitamins, and some good sleep
Seeds planted
With soil water and sunshine’s glow
Reaction to some kind of magical pull
It’s starts to grow, splits open, and it reach for the sky
Leaves hoping to mine some of that grooviest shine
And turn it into flowers and fruits and veggies
Powerful roots dig in the dirt
For the truth it’s every
Thyme floats by
Got the Rosemary scent on my mind
Lavender laced up, tomatoes on vines
So good to my taste buds
Zucchini’s and chives
Apples, arugula, kale
It’s such a beautiful..

It’s just a beautiful vibe
[Simon Wolf:]
See I got to sing, for what I can’t explain
I’m feeling drained and even the rain
Can’t wash away this stain
Tidal flats to concrete made
Ground raised, tracks laid to invade
Invasives shading out the natives
Un-bound ecosystem matrix
Need a spatial shift
Hear the earth sound hit
Boom Towns always get sick
Land on the line better pick it up quick
So I reap what I sow
Seeds like mind grows slow
Get layers decompose
This rose been here longer than me
Trees drop leaves when the seasons unleash
Thyme floats by
Got the Rosemary scent on my mind
Lavender laced up, tomatoes on vines
So good to my taste buds
Zucchini’s and chives
Apples, arugula, kale
It’s such a beautiful..

Rivers and streams, seashores in my dreams
Ice melts into steam, cloud bursts make it green
Globe so blue, water color hues
We barely even think ‘bout the fluid that we use in the sink
Sweat until we stink, replenish, re-thinkin’ how we spent it
If we drink too much,
Dehydrated, no rain, no luck
No planet, no fish, boat sink, so what?
We got these Britta filters, brown water in flint
Whale watchers, otters and shrimp (yah)
Remember shark week up on the Discovery channel
Singing you and me baby ain’t nothing but mammals
Eatin’ sushi comin out the blue sea
Beauty in the waves and the clams so juicy
Geoducks and sand dollars in my hand
Crabs in a bucket, if we’re lucky
Then we can keep drinking up the...
We’re made of it
The waviest
Reason why we’re here and all the aliens
Just jealous of the way we get that H2O
We’re made of it
The waviest
Keep our mind’s right
Skin radiant
Just the grateful everyday we get that H2O
What about the puffer fish
Anemones ain’t never been my enemies
Water bottle filling up, bless it with the energy
They say she got memories too
Spring coming out of the ground
Sing something out loud like
Water is life, we must protect this
Obvious right to quench thirst...
Caught-up in the net, but what’s left?
When the ocean upset
We can’t swim, can’t surf
Did we really take water sell it back to the masses?
Wrap it in plastic? Isn’t it madness?
Precipitation and coral reefs
The origin for the beach
And nothing like a wave as it crashes
Please, please, for me and you
For clean streams and seas of blue
For the orcas, salmon, First People here
Let’s keep the air sweet and keep the water clear cuz
We’re made of it
The waviest
Reason why we’re here and all the aliens
Just jealous of the way we get that H2O
We’re made of it
The waviest
Keep our mind’s right, skin radiant
Just the grateful everyday we get
That H2O
It’s the water in our tears
Same water in our beer
Water like a mirror
Proof God is always near
Water cycle through the skies
Water got us in the clear
If we listen to the water
There ain’t nothing left to fear
Water carry a message
Water falls from the heavens
Stay open to the questions
Sweat through our pores
Womb to the skies
Water recognize it pours
Clouds to the dirt
Feed the seeds and the spores
Through the peace and the war
For trees and the organisms
Whether still or a storm
It stays glorious
Stretch from Abu Dhabi
Through Japan to California
In sickness and health, crises, euphoria
The heartbeat of the planet
But we take it for granted
Tryna get the advantage, yah yah yah
Deep down in the blues
A part of me and of you
Every day we can choose to remember that...
We’re made of it
The waviest
Reason why we’re here and all the aliens
Just jealous of the way we get that H2O
We’re made of it
The waviest
Keep our mind’s right
Skin radiant
Just the grateful everyday we get that H2O

Cuz what if this fading fast
Make a shift, life a dance floor
Raise your hands up
What do you stand for?
What will you choose (Yes)
How will you use (This)
Time on the planet
We all die and eventually fall
So take the risk when it calls out...
Step into intrepid adventures
And dig deep
Build up your habits like stairs
You can reach if you dare
But we each gotta share
When the time’s right
Shine bright and your work
Might give the blind sight
It’s not about some fame or the lime light
What will you do
With your taste of the truth?
Make your move for the
Sake of the future
Cuz what if this
Fading fast
Make a shift, life a dance floor
Raise your hands up
What do you stand for?
What will you choose (Yes)
How will you use (This)
Time on the planet
We all die and eventually fall
Dig down, down
Deeper into the ground, ground
Pick up the pieces
And glue em into your SoundCloud
Cause life pass by
But we came here to heal
Carry some weight
Wake up and Share what you feel
Shine bright (shine bright)
We still need love and we still need light
This is when it counts
Moments where we choose
How it’s bouta go down
What we’re leaving to the youth
Is up to you cuz what if this
Fading fast
Make a shift, life a dance floor
Raise your hands up
What do you stand for?
What will you choose (Yes)
How will you use (This)
Time on the planet
We all die and eventually fall
We’re in this mess together
It’s so much more than the weather
Or what our science can measure
That’s on life y’all
This is initiation
It’s just an invitation
For us to rise to the call of the tides
This end of the bullshit
The fall of the lies
But it depends on us all
To be friends and unite
Combine for efforts
Somehow to Realize
That tomorrow is forever
But depends on Tonight
This is globe hotter
Like steam come off the water
Streams filled with toxins and screamin
It’s in the oxygen, breathing
The only option is speaking truth
And healing ourselves
Reach into the darkness of the deepest of Wells
To draw strength and still
Embrace our weakness as well
This is the secrets we tell
The reason we fell
This is a season of hell but this is time
It’s the moment when you notice
There’s nothing blocking your shine
Shine bright (shine bright)
Our lives just some candles in the night
Flickering
Shine bright
This life just a candle in the night
Flickering
Shine bright (shine bright)
Our lives just some candles in the night
Flickering...
Shine bright
This life just a candle in the night
Flickering...
Shine bright (shine bright)
Our lives just some candles in the night
Flickering...
Shine bright
This life just a candle in the night

How can we learn to see differently?
I write because
It might be nothing that’s left
It might be grey and decrepit
It could be nuclear waste
It could be wars out in space
Take these concrete dreams to where they lead us
Praising our idols from Justin Bieber to Yeezus (yuck)
Plastic islands washing up from the ocean
It’s all the garbage
Everything that we’ve broken and thrown away
It could be drone fights, shooting at our own like
Nothing the same when we gave away our souls
To the phones and our own vices
It’s a home crisis
We could blame it on Isis ‘steada looking in the mirror
Might be in the last years of an epoch Switch
But our culture tryna keep us on the same old ish
(Ba-da-da-da’s)
But you can find me at the viewspot
Lookin at the world little differently
If I could hear it from you God
What kinda vision would you give to us?
I ain’t lookin at the news pops
Cuz we need see the world a little differently
And determine what’s true
Love please help us to see
Some new possibilities
It could be locally owned,
Co-operative and everyone known by someone
Simple time, simply open, our home’s solar powered
Enjoying the golden hours and poems
Or maybe out in the garden getting into the zone
Permaculture and friends, slow down and relax
Less cars more trees, fresh air without the ash
Floating up in the sky
Learn to recycle our trash
Less distracted and numb
More people walkin’ their path
The path ain’t easy to find but
It’s worth takin’ a chance my friend
The vision might be simple as this:
A bunch a wall flowers working up
The courage to dance again
(Ba-da-da-da’s)
But you can find me at the viewspot
Lookin at the world little differently
If i could hear it from you God
What kinda vision would you give to us?
I ain’t lookin at the news pops
Cuz we need see the world a little differently
And determine what’s true
Love please help us to see
Some new possibilities
From the viewspot
Lookin at the world little differently
If i could hear it from you God
What kinda vision would you give to us?
