As we try to scale down the walls
of our western ideals
look through the holes in our thoughts
and wonder how it feels
to know your neighbours
to know they're (their) family
to be a part of a greater
community
community

I see a difference
between you and i
i blame my culture
you are filled with pride
im sad for history
you have stories to tell
and im jealous of the smile
that holds you so well
that holds you so well

ive lost my culture lost my pride
ive lost a fire inside
its not good to be alone
its not so good to run and hide
i want to be a thread in the web
of hummanity
i just want to be a part of a greater
community

Island Man



Got to the point of giving up on you
coz i never seemed to ever get through
but in a moment of peace i think i understand
why it is you want to live as an island and
sometimes all you need is self preservation coz
the water around you gets so full of confusion
so hold on in the shelter you find and
take refuge in the warmth of your mind
why ya ya you
accomodate the resolution
to release the weight that you're compensating
it resinates with the revolution
this is you're own personal ad for evolution
sharman a nah nah nah nah
everyone's got to do
got to do what they've got to do
everyone's going through
got to go through what you're going through

  Back House n Home

in this house alone
what makes a house a home
it's love in the furniture
care taken with every painting on the wall
and there's a mess on the table where
you were sitting before
its makes this house a home
makes this house a home

make this house a home
so while you're splashing in the bath
and i'm stirring up the kitchen and then
you read them a story and i'm
pretending not to listen
but it draws me in
it draws me in

make this house a home
you make this house a home

in this house alone
what makes this house a home
it's your footsteps on the stairs
it's the struggle for the blanket every morn
it's your voices in my ears
but it's your hearts that keep me warm

  Desert In The Moonlight

drove through the desert in the moonlight
hot day cold night
i've never seen so much sky
and it's a sight for sore eyes

the desert in the moonlight
a hot day cold night
no I've never seen so much sky
and it gets me thinking why
i can not still my mind

and it takes such a glorious contrast
to see the way i've cross-wired my life path

the desert on a cold night
surrounded by starlight
if you make a fire burn it bright
it's such a sight for sore eyes

the desert on a cold night
surrounded by starlight
if you make a fire burn it bright
it'll get you thinking why
do we lead such complicated lives

and it takes such a glorious contrast
to see the way I've cross-wire my life path

  Back Come Clean

I've been swimming upstream
against the flow of what i should know
resistance is almost addictive
I've been told
now I've been told
it's taking me under
now i see, i see
i wait for the thunder
to wash over me
to come clean

when something is wrong i hate myself
for not being strong in the face of it
when i let it out i want to raise the roof
i want to let it out

I'm swimming downstream downstream
go with the flow that's what i'm told
resistance is just a bad habit
i should know yes i should know

iit's been taking me under
now i se, i see
i wait for the thunder
to wash over me
to come clean

  Back On The Limit

sitting on the limit
i have to hold myself back
I wanna get there before the sun goes down
so we have to make tracks

and i'm always in a hurry
I'm alwasy behind the time

i rush in to make a fire
collect the paper and wood
i'm even in a hurry to get to the roach
which is never good

so why all this hurry
why do i worry about time
i worry about time

i even hurry to light a candle
and to watch it go down
coz i want that feeling in my rear view mirror
of a disappearing town

so why all this hurry
why do i worry about time
i worry about time

i'm tired of all this hurry
i want to tkae it nice and slow
i dont know where i'm going
do i always need to know
i should just take it nice and
not always on the go
i should just take it nice and

  Back Good Seed

what point is there
to eat the food on your table
if it's poisoned year
it takes good soil to grow
good food
it tkaes good thoughts to make
good moods
it takes good government policy
to help a farmer plant
good seed

good seed, good seed yeah

it tkaes less stress on economy
it takes less power to the
companies
it takes a lot less apathy
to stop us poisoning this body
when there's chlorine in our water
there's acid in our rain
and the carbon from our engines
is goign down our drains
into the sea,
when all we need, all we need is
good seed, good seed yeah

it all stems from good seed
grow into a family, now
spread out to community, yeah
become a worldwide entity

good seed, good seed yeah

make a correction to perfection
make it grow faster than it can
to increase your worldly profits
but forget the cost to man
you throw money at your
problems
you throw curses intot he
marketplac
and take away a fee, for

good seed, good seed

it takes a look at hypocricy
when we talk of eqaulity
it takes worldwide unity
if we're gonna set the third
world free
it takes a bit of humility now
to see when we are not right
it takes each person in their
own way
to connect with respect for life

oh life oh life oh life oh life
life oh life oh life oh life
(from Desiree's 'Life')
all stems from

good seed, good seed

it all stems from good seed
grow into a family
spread out to community
become a worldwide entity

  Back All You Need

while i sleep
while i dream

scene after scene after scene

it's a pretty crap dream
when i'm on fire
i go up in a cloud
it's only rain
it's gonne come down
i'm gonna come down

  Back Old Recipe

the stairs were cold
my clothes were wet
my heart hung low
heavy with regret

when i get home
i'll wash my clothes
i hope to change
hope is all i hold

i stumbled in
i threw down my clothes
i thought i'd changed but no
i'm just the same shit getting old

and i wanna change
i want to know myself
i want to follow my heart
nothing else

we pass it down the line
it's an old recipe on how to be unkind
stir it up, protect yourself
like there's no one else

and when you run away
and you think you've changed
but when you turn
the shadows still remain

and it makes me cringe
to see myself
with all my plans
slipping off the shelf

watch them fall to the ground
what goes up must come down
it's bitter sweet to see the way
you can knock me off my feet

  Back Together And Alone

i left you side
a long time ago
you have to me something
to dream about
and now it is time
i have to go
and i hope you have something
to dream about
the future unfolds
as stories are told
there's nothing like dreams to take
you down that road
to receive your hand
into the unknown
open the doors and together
we'll roam
togther anda lone
into the unknown
we're on our journey home
i've suffered my pride
too many times
and now it is faith that i look to find
in the warmth of your hand
the energy flows
and i want to know all that you
understand

  Back Alone

to cut these ties
and be alone
in the moonlight
feel the tide pass me by
and be not afraid to die
or to stay alive

like a spider in a web
where everythying is felt
and every whisper
of the wind
shakes the webs i spin
against my will
i need to learn to be still
to be still

to cut these ties
and be alone
with the moonlight
feel the tides pass me by
and be not afraid to die
or to stay alive
