Leave the Light On
I had a revelation
I wanna share it with you
In our hearts we have this light
Here is the invitation
The choice is up to you
To dull it down or burn it bright
I'm gonna leave the light on for you
Life is a celebration
Love is all around
Turn on your light and you will see
If there's a hesitation
I will wait for you
And I will hold you in my heart
I'm gonna leave the light on for you
May the light of the sun
Warm you and keep you safe
And may it remind you of where you're from
And bring light to the path you go on
May it support you in your quest
And fill your heart with light and love
And may it remind you of who you are
And show you the way back home
I'll leave the light on

Saving This Chance For You
I'm saving this chance for you
So we can heal and be whole again
I'm doing all I can do
To extend this invitation
You can do wonderful things
I'm saving this chance for
You can do anything
I'm saving this chance for you
I'm hoping that you can see
this love of ours in its natural state
that can do almost anything
if you are pure with what you create
Cause you can do wonderful things
I'm saving this chance for
You can do anything
I'm saving this chance for you
I'm saving this chance for you
So don't ignore or hesitate
Faith moves with eyes alive and on fire
With no doubt as it creates
For you can do wonderful things
I'm saving this chance for
You can do anything
I'm saving this chance for you,

Heaven Is A State Of

Heaven is a State of
Slow down there is much to be learned
Cause the busy in mind finds his energy burned
With the struggle and strife of the worry and doubt
And the hope to escape and find a way out
But the only way out is through
And the only one here is you
Heaven is a state of
Mind is a state of
Beauty is a state of
Love is a state of you
Slow down there is much to be gained
From the simple inquiry as to why sorrow remained
And the reasoning why that fails in its grasp
Of the ultimate truth causing reasons collapse
Cause the only way out is through
And the only one here is you
Cause Heaven is a state of
Mind is a state of
Beauty is a state of
Love is a state of you

Verse
Black is black
Unless you see the light
Focused through
The darkness of the night
Colors hide until released
By bright
Reflections
Of 100 percent light
Chorus
I'm seeking the good light
I'm crawling out I'm crawling out
Out of the darkness
I'm crawling out I'm crawling out
I'm looking for beauty
I'm crawling out I'm crawling out
I'm seeking the good light
I'm crawling out I'm crawling out
Verse
The Sun can't play
Hide and seek outright
It always shines
And never sees the night
Beauty hides until released
By bright
Reflections of 100% light
Chorus
I'm seeking the good light
I'm crawling out I'm crawling out
Out of the darkness
I'm crawling out I'm crawling out
I'm looking for beauty
I'm crawling out I'm crawling out
I'm seeking the good light
I'm crawling out I'm crawling out
Bridge
Habits held on through the years
Can't stop me now can't stop me now
I'm going where the beauty grows
And claiming all the good that's there for me
Chorus

Minds Reflection
Hey - Come on
I see you now
Come on - oo oo
So what do you think we should talk about today?
Some say I talk too much
Some say I think too much
They say it is part of my affliction
Whether hand in my pockets and my eyes on the ground
or hanging off the ceiling while I'm spinning around
They say it is part of my addiction
But they don't see me at all
They only their minds reflection
I know when I see your face
my heart starts jumping all over the place
you are becoming my obsession
The beauty in you is the beauty I see
Is a reflection of the beauty in me
Ooh then I love in that direction
But what I want you to know
I can only see what I can see
But do I see you at all
Or only just my minds reflection
The beauty in you is the beauty in me
So I see all the beauty that I can see
Do you believe you are beautiful?
The value in you is the value in me
So I see all the value that I can see
Do you believe you are worthy
But what I want you to know
You can choose how you see
Or do you see me at all
Or only just your minds reflection
Some say I talk too much
Some say I think too much
Too much is only their perception
I know when I see your face
my heart starts bouncing all over the place
and I prefer this obsession

Conversations In The Mirror
When you gonna settle down, when you gonna come around
to see the good things of what life brings in the world around you
When you gonna realize, it's how you use your eyes
Determines what you see and how you be in the world around you
Don't take to long in the petty old ways
They never worked before, left you wanting more, made you tired to the core
But It struck me, unstuck me, and plucked me from the cultural way to be
Trapped in jail saying I was free - that's no way to live at all
While trying to fly you fall, die before you get it all
What does all of this this mean if only conversations in the mirror
One day maybe I should listen myself conversations in the mirror
With the voice up the critics drops and stings like a riders crops,
and never stops, until only thing you see around you
Is all you wish you had, or what makes you sad, makes you mad
To either fight or run away, duck and cover for another while day feeling blue
And all this comes to view in the conversations in the mirror
Maybe one day I should listen to myself conversations in the mirror
I know this all was said before - oh

Follow The Flame Of Your Heat
Verse
I followed the highways
From ocean to ocean
Crossing the deserts
And forests and plains
Chorus
I felt such a love from the people I saw
I knew in my heart it was an honor to meet them
I will be true to the Red White and Blue
And follow the flame of your heart
Verse
I took the back alleys
And untravelled highways
I Went down your byways
Through cities and towns
Chorus
I felt such a love for the people I saw
I knew in my heart it was an honor to meet them
I will be true to the Red White and Blue
And follow the flame of your heart
Chorus
I felt such a love from the people I saw
I knew in my heart it was an honor to meet them
I will be true to the Red White and Blue
And follow the flame of your heart

Sing Your Song

Two stray dogs and a cockatoo
fought over what is was they had to do
When a cloudburst broke and rained on their parade
A task force was formed to investigate,
but the bird flew away and time was late
So they gave up sorry for the pups
Everyone there was bit let down
king queen pauper or circus clown
Who wore the shame - always someone else to blame
For each was given a choice you know
To bring it up or let it go
To give a hand or knock it down
So Jack being nimble jack being quick
Jack being tired of the same old schtick
Stood on his box shouting for a change
And do you give a dam for that old sot
Do you bring him clothes, blankets and a cot
Do listen close or do you just walk on by
Though it did not make any sense, it had eloquence and confidence
So people believed though they knew not what it meant
And monuments were raised in vain, and memes poured out the astral plain
To re-tweet and share around the world
You gotta try a little harder
See a little farther
Love a little deeper
Sing your song
You gotta live a little louder
Act a little kinder
Be a little braver
Sing your song
A painting found on a cavern wall
From a time long ago before the ancient fall
It said these words pretending wisdom from the wise
And maybe the true meaning comes from what the reader thinks it means
And how he chooses to let it change his life
You gotta try a little harder
See a little farther
Love a little deeper
Sing your song
You gotta live a little louder
Act a little kinder
Be a little braver
Sing your song
