- Track Name: Belong to the Land Again
-
I came to this country as a child in 1918
worked the farm with my father and family
I planted new life in the spring,
fished the rivers in the summer,
I kiss my first girl in the cool autumn air.
When you’re young you believe the good things will never change,
but when my father came home with a moving truck
it was the end of an age.
Because the dust blew in
when the bank took our home
and tractors came, ripped the soul from the soil.
But the world will roll
and the sun will burn
and we all will belong to the land again.
I found my bride in 1939
she was serving ice cream at the worlds fair.
I was a restless navy rat,
but when my hands brushed back her hair,
I knew my ship had come in.
We married and moved to a small apartment in Brooklyn,
and I prayed to hold onto those moments when the war cries began,
Bombs burst in the air
and the bullets barked back the shadows
and all my brothers became crosses in a field.
But the world will roll
and the sun will burn
and we all will belong to the land again.
In the belly of a whale
I saw my wife holding a child
And I knew, hell couldn’t keep me from home
and in the chaos of the cannons
I felt the power of love
And I was delivered
Delivered for her.
Together we moved back to the country
worked the farm, made our family
Our roots grew deep and we blossomed in the land,
we closed our eyes to the monsters of the night.
and soon my body will return to breath and dust
but all I’ll leave behind is the love I have grown
But the mountains will fall
to build the monuments of man
and we will beg heaven to let us in.
but the world will roll
and the sun will burn
and we all will belong to the land again. - Track Name: Live for Love
-
I saw her when I came home for the funeral.
Together we watched the sunset
While my fathers grave was filled.
I said “I’ve tried to change the world
But I’m just as much to blame
Take me home I’m done fighting in vain.
I just want to”
Live for love
Live for love
While I still can
I wanna live for love
I just buried my father today
After three long years of cancer
He spent his whole life listening to the wind
But he never heard the answer.
The wars keep raging on
Nobody thinks it’s wrong
We’ll keep raping mother nature
Till the whole planet is gone.
So darling take me home tonight
Wrap your body around mine
Heal me in the morning light
Make me wanna just
Live for love
Live for love
While I still can
I wanna live for love
When the morning comes
You know I’ll be moving on
It seems no matter where I am
I can never stay for long
And I may never find
What it is I’m looking for
But we can make
All I’ll ever need tonight
Live for love
Live for love
While I still can
I wanna live for love - Track Name: Say You're Mine and Be Free
-
Pretty girl, hold my flowers
Put on your dress and dance with me
Let go, the music will move you
Close your eyes and soon you will see.
You don’t have to spend the night
You don’t have to say you love me
You don’t have to wear my ring
You don’t have to have my baby
Say you’re mine and be free
Say you’re mine and be free
Say you’re mine, Say you’re mine
Say you’re mine and be free
Heartbreak, you won’t find it here
You’ll live a life without care
By my side, you’ll see the whole world
With rock n’ roll in the air
Release your burdens
Forgive your sins
Open up your heart
And let me in
Say you’re mine and be free
Say you’re mine and be free
Say you’re mine, Say you’re mine
Say you’re mine and be free
Take my hand
Take my hand don’t think about it
Say you’re mine and be free
Say you’re mine and be free
Say you’re mine, Say you’re mine
Say you’re mine and be free - Track Name: Running From the Sun

Before the cities burned
Before machines turned to rust.
Before I buried my family
in this land of bones and dust.
Before it was too late
Great men chose to hide or run.
Left us to stand alone
Said “you might as well be running from the sun.”
I was slow to anger
Fast to fear
I watched the waters rise
I saw the wild disappear.
My sins of silence
Will sing forevermore
And keep my lost soul
Eternally running from the sun
The factories roared
The money poured in
And we pretended like we didn’t know
Till the rain was lost
The air was choked
And the crops refused to grow.
And all over the world
War cut us down to size
There’s nothing left to fight for
But I can not close my eyes
Cause if you choose to dream
Instead of see what the mornings become
You might as well be running from the sun.
Oh no, oh no
Here comes the sun
I’m waking up - Track Name: Firefly
-
The eternal radio
Is playing chaos and creation
You can’t change the station
You and I used to dance and sing
To whatever tomorrow would bring
But now while everyone’s plans
Are crashing together like cars
You wanna be in-between
But all I’ve seen
Is fire files chasing stars
All fighting to have
What they already are
Can’t you hear my simple love song
Or is the light we used to hold
Gone?
Looks like your winning
But you’re racing on a carousel
And I missed the starting bell
When the ride is over
What do you hope to find
When you cross the finish line?
If all of your fears are fueling
Fortune and fame with out love
What does any of it mean?
Cause all I’ve seen
Is fire files chasing stars
All fighting to have
What they already are
Can you hear my simple love song
Or is the light we used to hold
Gone?
