Something

Something
Walking your bare feet into the night time
Watching as you lay your body down
There is
something in the water
There is
something in the sky
Leave the bridge on both sides of the river
Like a glass dragon it comes alive
There is
something in the water
There is
something in the sky
All the pretty clouds in the night sky
leave ripples on my eye
All the pretty horses in my book
eclipse and fall in line
Resting my head at the edge of my madness
to see how my heart will unfold

Both Sides

Both Sides
I will burn on both sides
I will build the fire high
In my shadow I’m alive
In my center I’m alive
I will burn on both sides
My relentless strength is mine
My vulnerability is mine
I will burn on both sides
What it is, to be alive
What it is, to be alive
What it is, to be alive
What it is, to be alive
So many ways of how to call a man
So many wanys of how to judge a man
So many way ;[p ;p[s of how to be a man
So many ways to b ;[pecome a man
I tried the long way
now I try the hard way
Spill my guts break my heart open
let the sun inside
Shine a light on the backroom of my vulnerability
I keep an open mind on what a man’s supposed to be
‘Cause I’m a fucking rock
but still soft as can be
My claim is not on you
I’m only claiming me
This thing that I’ve outgrown
This pod that I’ve cracked open
I’m leaving it behind
What it is, what it is, what it is, what…

Anker

Anker
Ik heb een anker uitgegooid in het huis waar m’n hart woont
Ben m’n lichaam ingegaan, en heb het licht aangedaan
Ik heb een anker uitgegooid, in blauw helder water
Deze schoonheid is voor mij, deze stilte is voor mij
Ben vannacht vroeg op gestaan, ben in stilte vertrokken
Met mezelf op reis gegaan, blote voeten, volle maan
Ben vannacht op pad gegaan, ben gaan lopen langs het water
Deze vroegte is voor mij, deze stilte is voor mij
Met mezelf schouder aan schouder, kloppend hart als stille trom
Papa kijk ik speel soldaatje, papa kijk daar komt de zon
Ramen deuren gooi ik open, moeder vader kind aan huis
Ik ben alleen op pad gegaan maar wie ik vraag is in mij thuis

Keep The Howling Wind Inside
Brothers let us stand together, vibing high and rooting low
Brothers let us rest together, there’s nowhere we need to go
Brothers may you drink this tea and rest your body on this floor
Keep the howling wind inside, it’s scratching love into your soul
When the tones of home sing to you, hear their song inside your heart
Set it free oh let it be yeah, leave that light on in the dark

Father’s Arms
Here is a child that longs for the sun
Here is a child that’s thirsty
Here is a child to hold on your arms
to respect, to welcome and set free
This child will be safe in its father’s arms
This child will grow strong in its father’s arms
A truthful life will open from inside
Some father’s hearts are closed
Some father’s hearts are open
And this child will be blessed with one that is

Lineage

Lineage
I first saw the lineage in your bones
then in your home, and in your heart
I first saw a quiver in your eyes
then in your hands, and in your heart
Lovers come together
and some will grow apart
Onto new beginnings
you mend your broken heart
And as Leonard Cohen said
“There’ll be cracks…
…for the light to enter in”
And rummaging in darkness in the end
is a disguise for a blessing
Heroes come together
before the crooks run off
Into stormy weather
is where we go for love

Keep, close to

Skin, on my
Move, in my
Keep, your hands
Keep, your hands
On my
On my
Close to
Close to, close to, close to, close to
Oh my god, look at you
Skin, on my
Move, in my
Skin, on my
Move, in my, in my, in my, in my

Heart Warriors
Sing a song for those
who open their hearts beyond control
A song for those
who stare down into their aching soul
From down below they can dance into beauty
Heart Warriors, in their darkest hour
find a home
Sing a song for those
who’s laughter’s unleashed beyond control
A song for those
who dance right onto the winding road
It’s an open road, it leads from nowhere to nowhere
Heart Warriors, in their darkest hour
find a home
And who we are is but a memory
We’re born into these bodies every day
Our heart keeps on pulling new love in
The earth keeps throwing wonders on our way
Sing a song for those
who light up this world with tired bones
A song for those
who dance in and out of broken homes
Their heart explodes into infinite spaces
Heart Warriors, in their darkest hour
find a home

Just Like A Lover
Then wear the gold hat, if that will move her;
If you can bounce high, bounce for her too,
Till she cry “Lover, gold-hatted, high-bouncing lover,
I must have you!”
- Thomas Parke D’Invilliers
I wore the gold hat, it made her move
It sent us flying, a year or two
But then I lost it, and down we fell
And I knew right then, it’s just as well
‘Cause I bounced high, just like a lover
but it’s a tiresome thing to do
Because the love that I put out there
it’s meant for me as much you
Like a lover
Like a lover
Like a lover for me and you
Like a lover
I’m like a lover
I’m like a friend for me and you
Hello lover
Can you see me
Can I see me
Can you see you
Hello lover
Can you see me
Can I see me
Can you see you
Can I see you
Can you see me
Can I see me
Can you see you

Boy Alone

Boy alone
I was born boy alone
being good, and fearing others
I was born boy alone
but I found a band of brothers
I grew up a lonely wolf
till I found all the others
I was born boy alone
but I found a band of brothers
And now that I’m at peace
my lonely hours light up, like a flame
And now that we’re at peace
we’ll share this flame with our sons
and our fathers
And now I’ll go out into life
being me and freeing others
Yes I will, if I can
help tired brothers out of their darkness
And now that I’m at peace
my lonely hours light up, like a flame
And now that we’re at peace
we’ll share this flame with our sons
and our fathers
I was born boy alone
but I found a band of brothers

In A Little While
Be as one
with who you are
There’s not much time to change up
Be as one
with all you are
under the cloak you’ve kept up
In a little while
you will turn to dust
turn the last page on your own
In a little while
you will see the skies
trailing off like stars when they fall
I tried to find love
in many odd places
I tried to see life
through my mind’s eye
But now I dropped into the silence of
this body that holds me to life
And there’s things to do before I fall
from the last day on earth into light
In a little while
I will turn to dust
turn the last page on my own
In a little while
I will see the skies
trailing off like stars when they fall
I tried to find love
in many odd places
I tried to see life
through my mind’s eye
But now I dropped into the silence of
this body that holds me to life
And there’s things to do before I fall
from the last day on earth into light
I start cleaning out my closets, and
time’s still on my side
I start leaning into my light, and
time’s still on my side
I stop selling myself short, and
time’s still on my side
I stop chasing ever afters, and
time’s still on my side
In a little while
time’s still on my side
In a little while
time’s still on my side
In a little while
time’s still on my side
In a little while
time’s still on my side
