ILLUMINATE
Softly beckoning
The rising sun breaks free
over glistening leaves
Green lanterns in the trees
These were never easy times
With another’s piece of mind
I always told you
Told you I’d be true
Starlight at midnight illuminates me
Like an old friend back again
I walk along with you
Through forest floors of dew
Sunbeams find us
Through the misty dusk
There were always special things
But they were never meant to be
What I wanted
It wasn’t what you had
Starlight at midnight illuminates me
Like an old friend back again
THE MESSAGE
Contemplating the mystery
Of you and me
Underneath elder trees
Old bones worn
The connection’s torn
Silent listening
Patterns in feathers and
Stories they’re telling in
lines of leaves
And they say sweetly
Come back home
Water sounds like wind
Blooming through the trees
Essences of it’s memory
For you and me.
Rain rushes down
Cleansing, raising
Fire burns
Message turns into a dove
That sings sweetly
Come back home
You were born with wings
Come back home
Some are asking.
Some are taking.
RETURN TO DREAMS
Stargazing with strangers
wings whisper through the pines
blinking beats surround us as the night meets the sky.
Lost in the vast open beams of light
Remembering the lost things I return to the night
Return to dreams
Return to dreams
our hands together
return to dreams (x2)
Shadows and shimmers
a sky full of song
you and I together so far and so long
lost in the colors of black and gray
I can see things changing, but I won't run away
chorus
Clouds pass by softly as light passes through
I am not afraid when I'm with you
I lay back in wonder a petal falls and breaks
I can see through the changes, but not when awake.
chorus
THE CREEK
When your dreaming, the creek’s still flowing
When your scheming the creek’s still flowing
When your running, the creek’s still flowing
When your hoping, the creek’s still flowing
When your laughing, the creek’s still flowing
When your broken, the creek’s still flowing
away, away, away, wash away your mind.
When your crying, the creek’s still flowing
When your lying, the creek’s still flowing
When your dying, the creek’s still flowing
away, away, away, wash away your mind.
I try to see it
It’s getting cloudy
Oh, go on feel it.
Can’t find my way.
But I believe it
has always been there
waiting for me to see.
When your falling the creek’s still flowing
When your rising, the creek’s still flowing
When your leaving, the creek’s still flowing
away, away, away, wash away your mind.
away, away, away, wash away your mind.
LITTLE LEE
I walked a mile I didn't care
bout the road that took me there
far away x3
It wasn't easy that's for sure.
But I walked on right through that door
on my way x3
Come to me my Little Lee x 3
They say that crying helps the soul
but really I can't say for sure
wash away x 3
I made it through now here I am
learning how to walk again
Just for me x3
come to me my little lee x 3
all the things I didn't do
for myself
I wasn't true
walk away x3
but here I am, I'm doing fine
having lost the fear of time
Here I am, Here I am, So I am
come to me my little lee x 3
REMEMBER THE STARS
Remember the stars
Remember who you are
Oh it isn’t far Away
It’s calling your name
Go deep to the light reflecting
off the water you’re neglecting
To the stillness I return
To the silence of the earth
Dance gently to the root
past the layers of the wounds
Stand firmly at the stillness,
this is how you heal it
awareness I am
awareness I am
a feather starts to show
when the bravery unfolds
We are all connected.
We are all Starkin.
We are all connected.
We are all Starkin.
Ripple out ripple in
Show the stars
We are kin
Light the spark
Reflecting
Show the stars
Hearkening
awareness I am
awareness I am
a feather starts to show
when the bravery unfolds
Remember the stars
Remember who you are
No it isn’t far Away
Oh it’s calling out your name
