Into the light
When in doubt all wells dry up
and leave the dust between your brows
When the night sets in and lays
the silent blanket in your house
Open your third eye, sweet soul
Into the bright light, the road that takes you home
My god tells me there's a pagan
pouring love into his soul
Trust yourself to know that way and
leave the light on when you go
Open your third eye, sweet soul
Into the bright light, the road that takes you home
I sink through the floor
that carries my bones
The deeper I get
I fall into light
Tired eyes close when they open
tired eyes cry from the heart
You my brother are an angel
you my brother have my heart
Open your third eye, sweet soul
your home is where your heart is
Into the bright light, just go, just go
Open your third eye, sweet soul
into the bright light, you are already home
Follow me, follow
follow me, follow
Into the light
Follow me follow
Into the light
Follow me follow
Into the light

Grow your roots into the ground
When the light no longer shines
on a story tired and old
And you feel you're at the bottom
and it feels right
Grow your roots into the ground
When you've won and then you've lost
something that you held so dear
You let go and then you find
it feels right
Grow your roots into the ground
When there's danger on your mind
and there's grief inside your heart
And your feet tell you to run
but you just sit there like a stone
Grow your roots into the ground
Hey my brother that looks heavy, let it go
Hey my sister that looks heavy, let it go
Hey my brother that looks heavy, let it go
Hey my sister that looks heavy, let it go

Darkness has its glow

Darkness has its glow
Father, teach me what you know
Father, show me the ropes
I’ll burn when your fire dies
And breath you back into life
Most of what I know
Has been passed through
by hundreds of lives before
Darkness has its glow
From nowhere I strayed into this world
Into the arms of the spaceless
Onto the ground to which I shall return
Into the mind that is weightless
Where time is not
Mother, I feel the earth move
And I can feel your breath,
keeping my shoulders warm
Mother, I turned myself loose
cause it’s the only thing
a mother cannot do
Most of what I know
I’ll pass on till long after I am gone
Darkness has its glow
Into nowhere, leaving a spark, I go
Now father can I rest with you
So that my father you can rest with me
And then the women in our lives
can rest with us
And when we go into the light
Peace is what we’ll be
Peace is what will be
Peace is what will be
Peace is what will be
Peace is what will be

The next clear thing

The next clear thing
Breathe
Brother let your guard down
let your truth invade your heart
and voice out into the words
what you say yes to
Take the broken pieces
build them into something new
and watch as it unfolds
even without you
Bring your soul into the house
where emptiness convenes
I know that you are tired
please take comfort
Rest your tired bones
there's just one thing left to do
Speak your truth
and brother don't hold back
Breathe
Precious is the wounded word that silence entertains
Breathe into your fear and let it out
Just go through the motions
find the next clear thing to do
Step by step is the only way home
Breathe

Under water

Under Water
I watched your face from upside down and dived
We swam till we were far away in the open water
There I took your tiring arms in mine
Closed your legs around my waist, under water
As we drifted off into the night
Here we made are great mistake, under water
Started with a kiss that sealed are plight
Fifteen minutes passed and we were under water
