    Simple

    Tangle up your twisted tongue. It's simple.
    Mesmerize your everyday. It's simple.
    Hey hey can't you see?
    Love is all that you should need.
    Can't you see?

    Ease your troubled mind.
    Let love seek & let love find. It's simple.
    Ease your weary soul.
    Let love lead & let love flow. It's simple.

    Pry into combative times. It's simple.
    Forfeit all lush concerns. It's simple.
    Hey hey don't you care?
    Love is all that you should share.
    Don't you care?

    Cleansing out your tarnished heart.
    It's simple.
    Learning from each other can be simple.
    Hey hey don't we know?
    Love is all that we should show.
    Don't we know?

    Untitled

    Who have I left to please?
    Take what you've yet to seize.
    No more questioning
    'Cause love is what love should be.
    Unveil to me all that you want me to do.
    But why should I stop bearing allegiance to you?
    See, I don't believe in
    The sorcerers or the preachers.
    I just believe in you.
    And I don't believe in
    the scholars or the wise men.
    I just believe in you.

    What have I left to prove?
    I speak all the words you choose.
    Confine me in walls of truth
    'Cause love does what love should do.
    No more sentence.
    All of my pain has been freed.
    Why should this end when your
    mercy's all I need?
    See, I don't believe in
    The sorcerers or the preachers.
    I just believe in you.
    And I don't believe in
    The scholars or the wise men.
    I just believe in you.

    The World I Know

    Has our conscience shown?
    Has the sweet breeze blown?
    Has all the kindness gone?
    Hope still lingers on.
    I drink myself of newfound pity
    Sitting alone in New York City
    And I don't know why.

    Are we listening
    To hymns of offering?
    Have we eyes to see
    That love is gathering?
    All the words that I've been reading
    Have now started the act of bleeding
    Into one.

    So I walk up on high
    And I step to the edge
    To see my world below.
    And I laugh at myself
    As the tears roll down
    . 'Cause it's the world I know.
    It's the world I know.

    Smashing Young Man

    Beggar's description
    Of what I've been missing
    Exploit your position
    Don't think I didn't listen
    Hey I hope you're feeling
    A little better now

    Success is so tragic
    Pain is your gadget
    Your tongue's just lashing
    Just bitching by habit
    Hey I hope you're feeling
    A little purer now
    Hey I hope you're feeling
    Securer now

    Help me I plea
    I don't understand
    Your ways and means
    You smashing young man
    Help me to see
    The good you have planned
    You're wearing thin
    You smashing young man

    You preach synthetic-like
    Peace is an oversight
    It's nothing to ignite
    Your self-lit spotlight
    Hey I hope you're feeling
    A little special now
    Hey I want to tell you
    I think you're special now

    I don't recall asking for guidance
    I don't recall wanting to
    I don't recall bowing before you
    But I'm so impressed
    With the kindness in your attitude

    December

    Why drink the water
    from my hand?
    Contagious as you think I am
    Just tilt my sun towards
    your domain.
    Your cup runneth over again.

    Don't scream about
    Don't think aloud
    Turn your head now baby
    Just spit me out
    Don't worry about
    Don't speak of doubt
    Turn your head now baby
    Just spit me out

    Why follow me to higher ground?
    Lost as you swear I am.
    Don't throw away your basic needs,
    Ambiance and vanity.

    December promise you gave unto me
    December whispers of treachery
    December clouds are now covering me
    December songs no longer I sing

    Where The River Flows

    Give me a moment
    Got to get this weight up off my chest
    Don't feed me sorrow
    Pain is a poison I digest

    Find yourself another soul to hold
    You think, you thought, I know
    Off upon my journey I must go
    To where the river flows

    I'll give you answers
    To the questions you have yet to ask
    Silence is beauty
    Words they only complicate the task

    Mae no more wishes
    All of my patience has been spent
    Gods of the season
    Lead me to my next incident

    Gel

    Color me any color.
    Speak to me in tongues and share.
    Tell me how you'd love to hate me.
    Tell me how you'd love to care.
    Well I just want to shake us up.

    Let's mingle
    And make it well.
    Come together now.
    Yeah let's gel.

    Clothe me in any fashion.
    Glitter to so mundane.
    Tell me how you'd love to change me.
    Tell me I can stay the same.
    I just want to shake us up.

    Let's mingle
    And make it well.
    Come together now.
    Yeah let's gel.
    Well let's bungle
    And live to tell
    How we came together.
    Yeah how we gelled.

    She Gathers Rain

    Today she dresses
    For the change she's facing now
    And the storm that's raging
    A safe haven she has found
    She doesn't care
    What the prophets say anymore
    For the love she had
    She has no more
    So she gathers rain
    She gathers rain
    To rinse away all her guilt and pain
    She gathers rain
    She gathers rain
    To wash and cleanse and make
    her whole again

    Her imagination
    Has started stretching wide
    And her new conviction
    No longer will she hide
    She's not branded
    When prophets speak words of fire
    The same love she gives
    She requires
    So she gathers rain
    She gathers rain
    To rinse away all her guilt and pain
    She gathers rain
    She gathers rain
    To wash and cleanse and make
    her whole again

    Where The Water Falls

    She's a picture perfect child
    Of innocence.
    Searching out in childlike ways
    For knowledge.
    Now she's questioning her mother
    Yeah she's questioning her father
    Yeah she's looking for the answers
    To the problem that confronts her.

    Do you know where the sun goes
    When the water falls?
    Do you know where the rain goes
    When the water falls?

    Though I think her subjects could
    Run far and wide.
    She has centered on the topic
    Of the sky.
    Now she's questioning her mother
    Yeah she's questioning her father
    Yeah she's looking for the answers
    To the questions that confront her.

    Collection Of Goods

    Resonate tones of saving grace
    Separate from the gods of hate
    Alleviate all our doubting ways
    Congregate to more loving days

    A collection of peace where we could live
    A collection of hope for us to give
    A collection of words that mean we care
    A collection of love for us to share

    Recognize all equality
    Vocalize solidarity
    Exercise your tranquility
    Glamourize all of love's needs

    Bleed

    I think her gun's
    unloaded now.
    I guess tomorrow
    will be after all?
    Who made me judge
    and jury here?
    It seems I'm bearing
    witness to her fall.

    I don't know why
    she cries to me.
    (she keeps her pain as company)
    'Cause it's only time
    before we all must
    bleed.

    Mirrors of her
    memory
    Reflect nothing with
    each word she says.
    Her views have got
    me spinning 'round.
    I think she's burning
    alters in her head.

    Reunion

    Change will come
    Change is here
    Love fades out
    Then love appears

    Now my water's turned to wine
    And these thoughts I have
    I now claim as mine
    I'm coming home

    Change has been
    Change will be
    Time will tell
    Then time will ease

    Now my curtain has been drawn
    And my heart can go
    Where my heart does belong
    I'm going home
