Wave 04:43
Wave on the water bending the sky wave to me darlin don't say goodbye wave of emotion changin my mind wave on the ocean tear in my eye Changing tide is low, is high I'm seeing signs I'm reading minds eb and flow its what you know to make it so you just let go Wave Sending a sound wave into your soul Resonate heat wave, audio flow Riding a shock wave into the dawn Over the short wave It won't be long Changing tide is low, is high I'm seeing signs I'm reading minds eb and flow its what you know to make it so you just let go Wave

Come Down 07:35
I am listening, I'm listening for you I want to hear you speak to me I bare my body between fire and sky and wake my spirit now to rise I am here and more than I am have I been all that I can be? Am I you? I want you to show me I want to be more than I ever dreamed I stretch my arms across the sky Can you hear me call your name? I think it's time we walk together Come to me I'm not afraid Chorus Come Down, Come Down Come Down off of the mountain when you hear the words are spoken in your name Come Down, Come Down and dance upon the earth and for the moment let the veil between us fade I am here So born of the earth and wind from heaven did complete me bring to me a handful of stardust that I can cast into my darkest night and with your touch my heart unfolds and blooms within a rose of love and down my spine the golden vine will stretch my roots into the earth Chorus I stretch my arms across the sky can you hear me call your name I think its time we walk together come to me I'm not afraid Chorus
3.
From the center of the circle I can see The world in all directions streaming out from me with the eyes of my soul I see my four reflections As the infant in the east begins to open his eyes the fire from within will ignite the sky in this moment I am my own creation Growing wild within the south let your nectar fill my mouth I will drink of all desire dance to miday sun my sire Chorus I can face the four directions knowing all without, within I can learn from these connections for the world and I are one In the west we go to sleep merry part and merry meet Oh you cannot give away what will be back for even with the setting sun a new day has begun on the other side and with what you have done you will now decide In the winter midnight north let the mystery pour fourth in the dark the light is seen where I'm going where I've been chorus

Magic 06:10
I spent my first years learning my worst fears and turning them into the monster under my bed it moved into my head no was my first word and stop was my second out was my third word and I learned to spell it If I forgive you what I've been through it is me that is free I can move easily beyond that time And if its too hard to move forward I am in my own way open my eyes and pray for a sign Magic touch my life again in a single breath shinning in your eyes and with the sun will rise and a moment of revelation Are we just physical DNA particals reacting to priciples of a scientific conclusion? Its very confusing I know there's magic and power beyond this I don't need ivy scholars to prove it Is it a weird thing when the phone rings and old friend is calling the one I was talking about the other day And if suddenly something comes over me could it be I am feeling the things you are feeling a thousand miles away Magic touch my life again in a single breath shinning in your eyes like a firefly and a moment of revelation When the blue veil of the day it fades away and makes an opening into space I can see through my swirling bubble the universe drifters we in a sparkling sea Magic touch my life again in a single breath shinning in your eyes and far across the sky and a moment of revelation

Hanged Man 05:51
I started on my journey as an infant soul searching but not knowing of the end gathered my defenses burdened down my beast never knowing hat would save me was within I stumbled through the darkness fear was pounding at my heart See how hope when looked for fades away Feeling for my weapons holding high my shield I had to let them go to find my way Chorus I drew the hanged man He's telling me I must release it all that's dear to me When you gaze in the mirror what do you see look beyond your face your eyes Can you feel your heartbeat, hear your soul? You're alive The image on the tarot card is asking me Can't you see the answers are inside of you Cut the ties that bind you all along you held the key The journey's there to make you learn to fly chorus
6.
She Wolf 06:00
I will sing of the fearless and the tribal she wolf dare to hear her calling the fear of falling a hollow walk bane or blessing it hard to mark bane or blessing it's hard, mark not silence like the moon glow on the fresh fallen snow here lays the hunger under what you know woe to the hunter who never learned to pray with this kill the shepherd will end the wolven way she is a hunter, a lover, a mother she fights her family and the life she knows, she wolf she lays where she once stood so proud and free shot down by a mortal soulless disease woe to the hunter who never learned to pray free at birth to roam the earth now she counts her days she is a hunter, a lover, a mother she fights her family and the life she knows, she wolf
7.
Sister 05:32
Sister made me go Fast asleep and begging to know where you going? what you gonna do? sister made it through Sister let me speak take your foot out and use your mouth to breath why walk when you can fly why talk when you can sing Chorus Sister how will I ever show you? You're half way whole... Sister shut me out the margaritas, the mind chatter and the random acts of doubt Are you fighting me? Are you scared to know? Chorus Bridge I am made of the past and I'm how you will last I am always and only now I am one with the world not just one with this girl I will follow and I will lead I'm your soul I'm your soul sister

It's a Lie 06:19
Your smile of innocence and virtue is so much more than meets the eye It's a lie, it's a lie, it's a lie over and over and over I've had enough of you tonight I cannot let this one slip by Chorus You can't see through the white dancing in your eyes it's not you any more its the powder in disguise I try my hardest not to hurt you I tell myself to look away It's a lie, it's a lie, it's a lie over and over and over Although my love for you won't die I cannot let this one slip by Chorus Your life you can make it good when will the mirror crack, the mask One dreams that friends will last forever I saw no different light on you years gone by you and I will you ever forget Chorus
9.
Consequence 05:49
In the back room in the office I see the men gathered round their table with ink from a whale and paper from a tree they write a letter for progress, progress so I sit in the corner taking minutes from the meeting they pay me so I have to I stare out the window and watch the trees swaying they're planning to cut you I think Chorus When will we ever learn the consequence its so hard to watch I want to go with you Sometimes I put on my backpack and head out to the wilder parts of Austin or at least I did until they put up a fense and a sign that says "private" private so I look at the surveyors instead of the scenery as they stake the heart of the landscape ad watch as the bulldozers take away mother in a place where I stood as a child Chorus In the back room in the office I see the men gathered round their table with blood from the sale of paper from a tree they write a letter for progress progess Well they bleed you and deceive you take your life force from you and spill it on you shore and watch as the sea bird is drowning in oil still trying to find her way home Chorus
10.
Teacher 06:26
Alone again the pain comes washing over me like rain in a land already flooded time again for lessons learned and strength to break the damn And how can I be tame when the wild in my soul remains Teacher come to me Teacher set me free Along the path I happen on the demons I must face and the light and the choice on and on my journey takes me through the twisted wood And how can I be still and know the boundless reaches of my will Teacher walk with me Teach me endlessly Sense the rush the feeling that comes over me when I realize I'm not alone and instantly I know that you and I in truth are one Take the journey to your inner lands and touch the light within you without your hands Teacher I am free The Teacher lives in me
11.
The Tor 09:16
And as I break through the mist I see the Tor The worlds are drifting where is my power Laughing and dancing at beltane, I knew it was you by the fire Where are we now? In the back of my mind in the mist beyond time hangs a veil to shroud the tale of lives long past and it holds me fast If history repeats itself maybe it's we who're the same If her story could be told maybe the balance of earth could return Raising a toast at the renaissance festival, 1989 the sun had gone down and the shops were all closing the patrons had all but gone home Slowly the rennies appear in their finery to run with the wolf and to dance with the moon Chorus One world away from the old world and I still feel If I had a time machine I would try And I know the reason we all choose to be here we have the keys that will save this time And as I go from the Tor I call the wind To bring us back to this place again The first time I saw you I felt it my soul did remember your eyes Look at us now I touch your hand and embrace the land And I search the sky for the wings I left behind If history repeats itself maybe it's we who're the same If her story could be told maybe the balance of earth would return Raising a toast at the kings feasting table, 1389 the sun had gone down and the torches are burning We summon the bard to perform we drink of our wine and our love and our song and return to our chambers to dance with the moon Chorus
