It came without warning
A love like I ain't never felt before
She's like my destiny callin'
And she's lyin' there all naked on the floor
And suddenly, out of the blue she's singin'...
Ooo baby let my lovin' ease your pain
Bring your burnin' skin to my river once again
I'll give you life
Ooo baby let my lovin' ease your pain tonight
She came without warnin'
Like an angel come from heaven in the night (heaven in the night)
Her kiss makes me tremble
So she pulls me close and she holds me oh so tight
Then suddenly out of the blue she starts singin'...
Ooo baby let my lovin' ease your pain
Bring your burnin' skin to my river once again
I'll give you life
Ooo baby let my lovin' ease your pain
I'll give you life (oooooh)
I'll give you life, yeah baby (oooooh)
I'll give you life (wooohooohooohooohooo)
Ooo baby let my lovin' ease your pain
Bring your burnin' skin to my river once again
I'll give you life
Ooo baby let my lovin' ease your pain, yeah yeah
Bring your burnin' skin to my river, oh to my river
la dah dah dah
oh to my river
la dah dah dah dah
oh to my river
la dah dah dah dah
oh to my river

My ammunition won't load into my gun
My inhibitions, they fall like the weight from a stone
You lead my heart away like a homeless, dusted fool
Somehow this dimestore ring still shines like a diamond to you
Oh, how it deepens
Oh, how it deepens
Your mystery
Keeps on turnin' me on
Your mystery
Thought I knew the rules
Thought I held it in my hands
Thought I was bulletproof 'til the blood pooled up in the sand
Are you a satellite? A shooting star or a dove?
Did we put you way up there or did God send you down from above?
Above
Oh, how it deepens
Oh, how it deepens
Your mystery
Keeps on turnin' me on
Your mystery
Burns me up like the sun
Your mystery
Mine eyes have seen the glory of a love that does transcend
Mine eyes have seen the worst inside of man
And the fear is like a fallen bridge
A broken promise
And the proof is in the bloodshot eyes of the one who failed to see
Your mystery
Keeps on turnin' me on
Your mystery
Burns me up like the sun
Your mystery
Keeps on turnin' me on
Your mystery
Burns me up like the sun
Your mystery
(Heaven is one so why believe when you can see it for yourself)

Come on get ready
This is the spring of our love
Come on get ready
Fees like it's ordained from above
We have the power to do what we came to do
This is the hour
The sun is shining on you
The future is now
The past is gone forever
We can come together
The light is our way
The future is now
The past is gone forever
We belong together
Get ready
Come on get ready
The beach is washing away
Come on get ready
The high tide of our love is here to stay
We will have the power (the power) to do the good and the true
This is the hour (the hour)
The whole world is waiting for you
The future is now
The past is gone forever
We can come together
The light is our way
The future is now
The past is gone forever
We belong together
Get ready
Get ready
Get ready
*Guitar Solo (Acoustic)*
The future is now

We can come together
The light is our way
The future is now
The past is gone forever
We can come together
The light is our way
The future is now
The past is gone forever
We belong together
Get ready
Get ready
Get ready
Get ready

This love has taken a turn
My maps are no good now I'm lost in these woods, I say
Black Mountain show me your face
Bring on the oblivion of your sweet embrace, I say
This love has taken a turn
Where we go now, I can't wait to learn
Show a little love to me
Show a little love to me
Darlin' I'll show you "free"
I'll show you free tonight
Show a little love to me
Show a little love to me
Darlin' I'll show you "free"
You are my diamond of grace
Angelic little devil of the most secret space, I say
There ain't no one quite like you girl
You save your nectar for the wise while you smile at the world, I say
You make me laugh at myself
You take me straight to heaven by goin' straight through hell
Show a little love to me
Show a little love to me
Darlin' I'll show you "free"
I'll show you free tonight
Show a little love to me
Show a little love to me
Darlin' I'll show you "free"
I'll show you free tonight
Show a little love to me
Show a little love to me
Darlin' I'll show you "free", "free", yeah
If you wanna walk with me
Then leave that false innocence behind
If you wanna know me tonight
Then drag me to the river and hold me tight
If you wanna love like a god
You got to bleed like a god
You got to fight like a god
Let go of who you are
Cling to me now
Cling to me now
Here we go
Here we go
Show a little love to me
Show a little love to me
Darlin' I'll show you "free"
I'll show you free tonight
Show a little love to me
Show a little love to me
Darlin' I'll show you "free"
I'll show you free tonight
Show a little love to me
Show a little love to me
Darlin' I'll show you "free"
Yeah, Yeah
I'll show you "free"
(background vocals)
Show a little love to me
Show a little love
Show a little love to me

Weighin' on your mind like a ball and chain
Like a destiny to run from
Division in your soul (in your soul)
Keepin' you from whole
I can't bear to see you cryin'
The weight that lays on your shoulders
Could be the wings that carry you home
Sometimes you've got to die to be born again
Sometimes you've got to fight
Sometimes you've got to learn
Sometimes you've got to burn the old brush out, so the new can grow
The weight that lays on your shoulders
Could be the wings that carry you home
Yeah, come on
Could be the wings
Could be the wings (carry you home)
Could be the wings (oh)
Could be the wings (carry you home)
Like two long lost friends
Like two long lost friends
Like two long lost friends
The weight that lays on your shoulders
Could be the wings that carry you home (carry you home)
Come on, come on
Could be the wings
Could be the wings (lord above)
Could be the wings (oh yeah)
Could be the wings (carry you home)
Could be the wings
Could be the wings (carry you home)
Could be the wings
Could be the wings (carry you home)

Diamonds and pearls don't move this girl
She can be icy cold to the crawl
One of her lungs breathes in another world
While the other sticks around to blow you off
Even when the four winds blow she kind of passes by like she don't feel it
No mama she don't feel it
One of these days I'm gonna dive into her waves and bring back the meaning of it all
Sofia, I need ya
Like a junkie needs a vein
And I wanna feel ya, Sofia
Fallin' down on me like rain
They say in ancient times, man, that woman ruled the world
That the goddess was the one who laid it down
Well I gots a woman as alive as the day
Gonna breathe a whisper and knock you right down to the ground
So go ahead man and say what you came to say
The black widow's a spider
The black widow's a spider
Then go and prepare for your dyin' day
Won't take one minute 'til you're curled up dead beside her
Sofia, I need ya
Like a junkie needs a vein
And I wanna feel ya, Sofia
Fallin' down on me like rain
oh oh oh oh oh (on me like rain)
*Guitar Solo*
Sofia, I need ya
Like a junkie needs a vein
And I wanna feel ya, Sofia
Fallin' down on me like rain
Sofia, I need ya
Like a freeloader needs his train
And I wanna feel ya, Sofia
Fallin down on me like rain
Sofia, rain down on me
And I ain't never, I'll never be the same baby
I wanna feel ya, Sofia
Fallin down on me like rain

Love Shines (A Song For My Daughters About God) |
|
On a crystal clear blue mornin'
There is a peace that only you can know
It is truth and love and it is always there
Even if you fall down
Even if you fall down, love shines
Oh, it shines
Like an eternal sun it shines
Oh, love shines
Like an eternal sun it shines
Think of gentle Jesus
Think of the Buddha underneath his tree
They taught the world about love and how we all can be
How we can all be free
Open our hearts and see love shine
Oh, it shines
Like an eternal sun it shines
Oh, love shines
Like an eternal sun it shines
Oh, it shines
Like an eternal sun, love shines
It shines like a revolution in your mind
Like a revolution in your mind
Like a revolution in your mind
On a crystal clear blue mornin'
There is a peace that only you can know
It is truth and love and it is always there
Even if you fall down
Even if you fall down, love shines
Oh, it shines
Like an eternal sun it shines
Oh, love shines
Like an eternal sun it shines
Oh, it shines, baby
Like an eternal sun, love shines, yeah
It shines, shines, shines
Shines, shines, love it
Shines, shines, shines
Shines, shines, love it
Shines, shines, shines
Shines, shines, love shines
(Like a revolution, In Your mind)

Where Do We Go From Here? |

I wanted a mountain
You gave me a sea
I wanted a hurricane
You gave me a breeze
I wanted to run
Made me stand there and breathe
I wanted to dream
You made me asleep
I wanted to touch the bottom but it was too deep
I wanted a revolution
You said I was already free
Oh, yeah
Where do we go from here, now the day is gone?
How do we face our fears with nothin' in our hearts, baby?
Where do we go from here, now the night has come?
I wanted to touch your mind and your heart
I wanted to find a new place to start
I wanted to kiss your every part
Oh, yeah
So baby don't leave me now
It's time to fly
Like you're shot full of holes but you're still alive
Like you're too close to death to ever really die
Oh die, yeah
Where do we go from here, now the day is gone? (now the day is gone)
How do we face our fears with nothin' in our hearts, baby?
Where do we go from here, now the night has come? (now the night has come)
How do we face our fears with nothin' in our hearts? Nothin'!
Why won't you listen to me?
I never meant you no harm
I only wanted to be free
All I want is to be free
Where do we go from here, now the day is gone? (now the day is gone)
How do we face our fears with nothin' in our hearts, baby?
Where do we go from here, now the night has come? (now the night has come)
How do we face our fears
Oh, yeah
Where do we go
Where do we go
Where do we go
Where do we go
Where do we go
Where do we go

I'm a soldier on the field
Fightin' for you
Fightin' for me
You can see it on our faces
Like the bullets leave tracers
You can feel it for real
You can't imagine the pain of my babies so far away
So far from my home
When they comin' home?
When they leavin' that place?
See their lover's face again
Kid will see his daddy's face again
When they comin' home?
Lord, shed some grace
See their lover's face again
Kid will see his daddy's face again
I'm a soldier on the field
Waitin' to die, prayin' to live
To survive one more day
But my hope begins to fray
It's my flesh against the steel
You'll never know what I've known
You'll never see what I've seen
I hope we make it home
When they comin' home?
When they leavin' that place?
See their lover's face again
Kid will see his daddy's face again
When they comin' home?
Lord, shed some grace
Put your peace in the valley tonight
Bring the soldier home alright
When they comin' home?
When they leavin' that place?
See their lover's face again
Kid will see his daddy's face again
"So far from home", she cries
"Politics aside, what I'd give to have him here tonight"
When they comin' home?
When they leavin' that place?
See their lover's face again
Kid will see his daddy's face again
When they comin' home?
Lord, shed some grace
Put your peace in the valley tonight
Bring the soldier home alright
When they comin' home?
Children playin' in the sun, home
See their lover's face again
Kid will see his daddy's face again
When they comin' home?
Mama braidin' your sweet hair, home
Put your peace in the valley tonight
Bring the soldier home alright
When they coming' home?
Children playin' in the sun, home
See their lover's face again
Kid will see his daddy's face again
When they comin' home?
Mama braidin' your sweet hair, home
When they coming' home?

All I need is right here on my sleeve
You get what you get with me girl
You get the grace and the sting
Count to three and I'll be on my knees
Tryin' to set you free girl
Tryin' hard to make you see
That my love is here to stay
My love is here to stay
Open your heart, you can find your own way
I found they're all the same
But my love is here to stay
All I need is witherin' on that tree
The fruit of all knowledge darlin'
The one you were supposed to give to me
Now I sit here like a buddha in this chair
Watchin' your spectacle unfold
I'm sorry, I don't mean to stare
But baby now
My love is here to stay
My love is here to stay
Open your heart, you can find your own way
I found they're all the same
My love is here to stay
Yeah!
Like the sun that shines behind the mind
Like the one before all space and time
Like the sun that shines behind the
Like the sun that shines behind the mind
Oh, it shines
Oh, how it shines
All I need is right here on my sleeve
You get what you get with me girl

So many people die everyday
Who lived everynight without hope
Spendin' their time just standin' in line
Tuggin' on society's coats
So many people live everyday
Like they ain't never gonna get old
Doin' their time like carps in the slime
Submarines with no periscopes
Oooo you are not alone
Oooo you are not alone
So many people keepin' the pace
Just the other side of grace
Fakin their smiles, just the rank and the file
Wild cheetahs put in a cage, oh baby now
So many people can't see the signs
Even know their eyes are just fine
Hittin' the stage a day late for the show
Astronomers with no telescopes
Oooo you are not alone
Oooo you are not alone, no child
Oooo you are not alone, no child
Oooo you are not alone
Oooo, oooo
Oooh, oooo
Nothin' in the world could keep me from lyin' next to you
Nothin' in the world could keep me from flyin' next to you
So many people die every day
Who lived every night without hope
Spending their time just standing in line
Tugging on societys coats
Oooo you are not alone
Oooo you are not alone, no child
Oooo you are not alone, no child
Oooo you are not alone
You are not alone, yeah
Not alone
Not alone
Not alone
Not alone
Not alone
Not alone
