P-E-A-C-E and H-A-R-M-O-N-Y

Have you been wondering
About the world?
Why is there no peace?
Why do we use weapons instead of words?
Why doesn't harmony give us a hint?
Well sorry to tell you, but the world is like that
All around you there are people who don't care
Have you noticed racism is in the air?
It is traveling everywhere
Now ask yourself.
WHAT WILL YOU DO!

Fear of my own fear

Is it possible to have one fear?
Can you be afraid of fear?
Am I hidding in the shadow of fear?
I can standup for myself but can't stand up to me

I'm scared of being scared
I want to find myself facing my fears
Diving head first into danger
But don't want to hesitate knowing,
fear itself might hold me back.

Grasping me tightly until I fear all that is known
Scared of dark corners, creaking noises.
All together I still fear, fear the most.

River, Tide, Run

River, Tide, Run

Escape the conflict of the moon and earth
Resist the need to try
Calm your flowing arms, and
Relax your soul; the inner monster cannot be released
River, Tide, Run

Today is struggle, tomorrow is a sorrow
I watch you give up and let go
Dig in your roots and keep still
That is not your nature though
River, Tide, Run

You must flow with the currents that carry you
Wrapping your blanket around your creatures
To provide a healthy being
You must not give up
River, Tide, Run
