we need some hope for the hopeless help for the helpless rest for the weary and a home for the homeless what we need is some Love for the people people come together it's time to take this matter with an open heart and an open mind sages through the ages said "seek and you shall find" and I'm after the cure, seeking a solution peeking through the clouds of this spiritual pollution I see there is light, I see there is Love endless guidance from up above for us to turn to heart, return to the heart where the fire burns and the changes start (chorus) we need some hope for the hopeless help for the helpless rest for the weary and a home for the homeless what we need is some Love for the people people come together it's time to make this better we be cutting trees, let the mountains burn after so many mistakes we got so much to learn we let them steal from the land and poison our waters what will we tell to our sons and daughters? about these fools in power it is hard to believe that a bunch of greedy planet-fuckers were elected to lead but it is not too late to take back the power sisters, brothers go and show them what it means to care for each other (chorus) we need some hope to the hopeless help for the helpless rest for the weary and a home for the homeless what we need is some love for the people people come together there's never been a better time to question this direction that we've been traveling on now pay attention the factions are new but the struggle's the same the option are few but the fire remains so hear me now I don't wanna wake up to find out it's just too late I don't wanna wait if I can do something today set your intentions to actions and pray carry each other to a better day ​by giving hope to the hopeless help to the help-less-messing around we need a home for the homeless now what we need is some love for the people people come together there's never been a better time never been a better time ​now there has never been a better time for coming together there has never been a better time to speak up there has never been a better time for coming together there has never been a better time to stand up there has never been a better time for coming together there has never been a better time to wake up there has never been a better time for coming together there has never been a better time to love

people of the sun come together unite holy children of the Earth do you know why we fight? there is a war going on and it's a spiritual matter the evil forces fighting angels in a physical battle and now, we're breeding hatred on the land that we ravage but TV says they're only killers or collateral damage the revolution is the revelation : only Love empowers a man to bring the healing to the nations now my patience's running out this war is not in my name this is my home, this is my people we're one and the same (chorus) war will never give you peace listen to the trees and the birds and the bees and the words of the sages oh so many pages written for the reunification of the people of the sun I said war will never give you peace listen to the trees and the birds and the bees and the words of the sages oh so many pages written for the reunification of the people of the sun now you don't have to take my word but you see history repeats and the pieces come together when you open your eyes to see the deceit and the lies, hidden storylines time has come to realise the devil comes in suits and ties I feel shame for the way that we're living I find it hard to trust a puppet saying what to believe in cause what I'm feeling is the pain the Man is causing for profit as we keep killing one another over paper and prophets now we're standing tall we say "not in my name" this is my home, this is my people we're one and the same ​(chorus) war will never give you peace listen to the trees and the birds and the bees and the words of the sages oh so many pages written for the reunification of the people of the sun I said war will never give you peace listen to the trees and the birds and the bees and the words of the sages oh so many pages written for the reunification of the people of the sun ​and I know Jah people will rise over the hatred conscious and sacred lovers all life, seekers of Truth proof that the seed of the change that we seek is inside of you I say the only solution to this spiritual pollution is the people unifying in a peaceful revolution (x3) the only solution, the only solution is Love ​(chorus) what we need is Love what we need is hope what we need is Truth what we need is you you're the people of the sun

I'm gonna call it as I see it and I'll name it what it is it's a shame and a disgrace we haven't learned to live in peace after all that we've been through as one people of the Earth many seem to have forgotten what this life is really worth they say, "forget your dreams, get a job and pay your bills stop asking all these questions, the answers on TV" can't you see that something's really wrong? and you deserve the truth, what the hell is going on? and why do we accept, this burden and these chains when freedom is your right, people time to make a change? (chorus) but I know what we need what we need is Love Love for everyone cause everybody wants to feel feel a little love, and have a little fun so why all these trouble, all this fear, and all this pain? guess we could share a little more care about our home and treat everyone the same I'm gonna say it as it comes cause it's coming from my heart we were born to play together not to slowly grow apart after centuries of fighting, deceiving and dividing we still seem to miss the point that together we'd be thriving I know all that we need Pachamama will provide food is gifted by the land, water's falling from the sky look inside and tell me what you see for I will not believe this is how it's meatn to be Mister how could it be right for someone to decide who gets to have it all who's to live and who's to die? (chorus) so if you're feeling what I feel it's time to pass it on time to make it real so let us share a little more care about our home and treat everyone the same

free at last 03:54
Beyond matter and mind no longer led by the blind I found that everything I needed was to look inside past the fast-speed pace of this Human race in the place where Love lays, embrace its grace and now, I want to feel the Sun on my face as I praise the Most High, feeling more than alive so free yourSelf from the chains of material ways and give Love and don't worry about tomorrow, think about the sorrow you feel when you forget it's just a body that you borrow time to wake up cause the dream won't last nothing ever happens in the future or past take a vow to come back to the Now where the fire is burning, life's unfolding keep on holding on, brother stay strong sister don't cry keep your head high (chorus) I say AHO! I was lost but ow I'm home I was blind but now I see I was captive now I'm free Hallelujah I said AHO! I was lost but now I'm home I was blind but now I see I was captive now I'm free I'm free at last beyond longing and grief no longer wrapped in belief I took a peak behind the veil and now I sigh in relief for I can see with my eyes closed, Light glows when you got Love everything flows so don't identify yourSelf with the voice in your head you're far beyond the limitations that are driving you mad you gotta realise the Self open up the door and let go so don't worry about tomorrow think about the sorrow you feel when you forget it's just a body that you borrow time to wake up cause the dream won't last nothing ever happens in the future or past take a vow to come back to the Now where the fire is burning life's unfolding keep on holding on, brother stay strong sister don't cry keep your head high (chorus) I say AHO! I was lost but ow I'm home I was blind but now I see I was captive now I'm free Hallelujah I said AHO! I was lost but now I'm home I was blind but now I see I was captive now I'm free I'm free at last Beyond matter and mind no longer led by the blind I found that everything I needed was to look inside past the fast-speed pace of this Human race in the place where Love lays, embrace its grace who says you need to worry away? who says you need to worry at all?

this is for sky the water and the trees this is for the peaceful fighting on their knees this is for the stone cold heart of the oppressor this is for the old soul breathing under pressure this is for the wisdom and the struggle of my tribe this is for the hopes and the bodies on the line this is for the greedy the foolish and the blind this is for the truth that is blossoming inside Come take a stand for this land while there’s still life in the soil cause I refuse to sit and watch my mother drowning in oil as the corrupted politicians hope to silence with violence we raise our voices as we rise to form a sacred alliance so they can beat us but they cannot defeat us the people of this land are the roots that grow beneath us standing taller than the mountains chanting down the sky with the colours of the rainbow Spirit on our side (chorus) We got Spirit on our side (x4) We got Spirit on our side in the change that we seek Spirit on our side in the words that we speak Spirit on our side in the love that we give Spirit on our side when we choose to forgive Spirit on our side in the pain that we feel Spirit on our side in the wounds that we heal Spirit on our side in his infinite grace Spirit on our side here in this place Spirit on our side (x4) Now we need warriors to rise Warriors unite Come and gather to pray May them open their eyes they know not what they do we must stand for them too We need wisdom compassion and Love perhaps the purpose of this struggle is to bring us together to wake us up from the illusion cause we’re in this together The time has come for us to think about the source of our power Cause only water turns a seed into a beautiful flower Now take a minute listen to your wind and reflect This planet is our only home and we will show her respect Nobody's gonna come and save us once the damage is done No wicked uniform can stop us when we stand up as One So they can beat us but they cannot defeat us the people of this land are the roots that grow beneath us standing taller than the mountains chanting down the sky with the colours of the rainbow Spirit on our side (chorus) We got Spirit on our side (x4) We got Spirit on our side in the change that we seek Spirit's on our side in the words that we speak Spirit's on our side in the love that we give Spirit's on our side when we choose to forgive Spirit's on our side in the pain that we feel Spirit's on our side in the wounds that we heal Spirit's on our side in his infinite grace Spirit's on our side here in this place Spirit on our side (x4)

Do I say the things I mean? Do I mean the things I say? Who am I to talk of peace And then turn the other way? When I know there’s people struggling Battling, all around I see them sufferingI see them For things I never felt And that in truth have never troubled me Then how is it fair For me to say that I care Then go about my day When there’s injustice everywhere? and I know the burden of the world is not for me to bear But I’m sure there’s more that I can Than simply saying a prayer Cause I want to see my sisters and my brothers unite I want to know that I was listening And did what is right Because your pain is my pain And when you smile is my gain We got different names But it’s your blood in my veins I picture living like a family Loving with integrity Sharing in prosperity TruthTruth and solidarity The more I learn the more I see Nobody’s gonna do the work for meNobody’s gonna do the work for me LOKAH SAMASTAH SUKHINU BHAVANTU So may all people everywhere Be happy and free And may my thoughts and words and deeds Be planting the seeds For the reunification of God’s beautiful creation For equality and justice For all people of all nations, I pray I pray to see the end Of what we’re here to mend I know service is my purpose But I don’t understand How can there be so much pain?? Has everyone gone insane?? My heart is open but is broken And is breaking again I’m here for change I am but I don’t always know how Sometimes it’s hard to make a difference So I’m gonna start now To be a better man, better friend Better be doing all I can To heal my people’s hurt I’’m gonna take my words and turn them Into action, actions Sparking a reaction Moving with intention Resolution and compassion It won’t be easy but it needs to be done So that our family can live as one LOKAH SAMASTAH SUKHINU BHAVANTU It’s so much more than opportunity It’s my responsibility To use the gifts I’m given For helping my community With love in my heart And a fist to the sky I’ll do my part To stand for I and I

just like the Sun that's always shining on the world from up above so the Soul is always smiling and the Heart knows only Love there is no secret to the Happiness and Joy you seek to find just make this Life the message that you wish to leave behind (chorus) and be a friend to you be a friend to me be a friend to the Earth and all you meet what you give away will come back some day may you find only friends along the way now every selfless loving action is like a candle in the night and you'll find every single moment bears the spark to shine a Light so don't be fooled by what you hear about this life and all its shades everything is I with other names (chorus) and be a friend to you be a friend to me be a friend to the Earth and all you meet what you give away will come back some day may you find only friends along the way so I say LOVE, don't you know? that everybody's family and everywhere is home no matter where you're going you can never be alone laughter is the remedy to meditate upon kindness is the medicine to liberate the Soul for everybody's family and everywhere is home (chorus)

​When your mind feels like a burden and you feel like giving in when your Heart just keeps on hurting you don't know where to begin when you're living in your yesterdays and you're acting out of fear when you worry about the future you forget you're always here there is hope you'll be fine know that everything's alright (chorus) so trust a little more, just a little more laugh a little more, give a little more Love and open up your door, just a little more just a little more ​when the world is going crazy and you need a place to hide when you want someone to talk to but no one is by your side when your boat is stranded out at sea and the shore is out of sight when your Life feels like a battle but you've got no strenght to fight there is hope you'll be fine know that everything's alright (chorus) so trust a little more, just a little more laugh a little more, give a little more Love and open up your door, just a little more just a little more be the maker of your dreams choose the best and then believe there is nothing you can't do or cannot be there's no need to be afraid let it come it's on its way just stay open and enjoy this blessed day (chorus)

rest 04:14
Take off my shoes and lay on the grass stare at the sky and let it all pass by sing with the birds a melody without words cause I'm where I need to be and for now all I do is breathe (chorus) cause I'm at peace and I'm in tune and I can lay here all afternoon cause I'm in touch and I don't need much I got this weight off my chest what is it's for the best and now I rest take off my shoes and turn off my phone soak up the sun and play with a love bug sway with the trees I'm getting lost in this breeze cause I'm where I need to be and for now all I do is breathe (chorus) cause I'm at peace and I'm in tune and I can lay here all afternoon cause I'm in touch and I don't need much I got this weight off my chest what is it's for the best and now I rest

We’re all a bit scared A little bit bruised We’re all a little bit lost And a little confused A little sad A little weird and a little bit bad A little lonely when we’re only one instead of two Do you feel it too? Do you ever wonder What is wrong with you? Slow down And look around Don’t be so hard on yourself Don’t be so hard on yourself Don’t be so hard on yourself We’re all a little bit messed up But we’re doing our best A little lazy So we keep waiting for a sign A little crazy When our plans and planets don’t align We’re all a little bit foolish We rush around in search of meaning Or excuses And we make believe that something’s wrong How long can we burn Till we remember Seasons change And pages turn? Slow down And look around Don’t be so hard on yourself Don’t be so hard on yourself Don’t be so hard on yourself We’re all a little bit messed up But we’re doing our best If you struggle to make sense of what life is about you feel you’re missing something you just can’t do without you find it hard to be alone and sit with your doubt If you think that everybody else has got it figured out If your flame is low Inspiration running dry If you too get lost in thought While you’re staring at the sky you’re ready for a change But the voice in your mind Got you wonder if you’re good enough To ever even try But you’re not late You’re not early You’re exactly where you’re meant to be So do not worry You don’t need to hurry You don’t need to hide Open up and know that you’ve been knocking from inside And this is moment This is your chapter Here is all the meaning and the lessons you’ve been after Here is all the healing You don’t need to run Welcome what you’re feeling And remember everyone is A little bit scared A little bit bruised We’re all a little bit lost And a little confused Don’t be so hard on yourself Don’t be so hard on yourself Don’t be so hard on yourself Don’t be so hard on yourself We’re all a little bit messed up But somewhere in between the lines We’re all amazing And a little bit divine Take your time I hope you remember

home to me 03:36
Feeling like a child getting cold in the storm things that people say are not enough to keep warm and I seek shelter but I'm drenched to the bone fear is creeping in and my clarity is gone and I know that I've been here before slow dancing with my past the future at my door over miles I can hear that Mama says "let go my dear" (chorus) let the ocean take your pain watch it wash out with the rain give your sorrow to the wind this is where you shall begin to remember how to love how to give it all as you listen to the trees let the breeze guide you home to me home to me and now the voices are leaving and I go back to breathing "that which is not permanent could never bring the healing I need" said the Heart, and I trust his words only in surrender can the river run its course and I know that I've been here before slow dancing with my past the future at my door over miles I can hear that Mama says "let go my dear" (chorus) let the ocean take your pain watch it wash out with the rain give your sorrow to the wind this is where you shall begin to remember how to love how to give it all as you listen to the trees let the breeze guide you home to me home to me and as the clouds dissipate I give thanks for the rain and the rainbow now I get the lesson and I carry on cause I'm on board Mama I'm on board cause I remember how to love how to give it all as I listen to the trees let the breeze guide me home to me home to me Mama home to me, to me, home to me

younger now 04:21
It took a lifetime to get young I got a lifetime to get younger, so you will find me in the sun when all around is rain and thunder so if I take good care of my Soul you'll see me ageing but I'll never get old you'll see me wander but I'll always be home and there will be no time for feeling alone (chorus) so when it's time to go, I'll go and when it's time to stop I'll know I lived a good Life and it's only Love I leave behind, only Love I got pockets full of dreams and now my head is filled with change I think my heart is growing leaves and nothing will ever be the same so if I bring what I hope to find I'll leave the worry a few steps behind so I won't hurry while I make up my mind cause everything will fall in place in good time (chorus) so when it's time to go, I'll go and when it's time to stop I'll know I lived a good Life and it's only Love I leave behind, only Love and though the load gets heavier my back gets stronger everyday and truth be told I'm happier now that I'm lost than yesterday cause I'm younger now, I'm younger now (chorus) so when it's time to go, I'll go and when it's time to stop I'll know I lived a good Life and it's only Love I leave behind, only Love

Girl you tickle all my senses You send tingles up my spine Make me wanna take my chances How I wanna cross the line It was predictable That I would fall for you You’re irresistible What was I gonna do? When every move you make Got me delirious You put a spell on me Hope it ain’t serious Cause I wanna hold you I wanna kiss you in the morning I wanna call you To let you know you got me burning I wanna raise you higher Feed your fire And love you the way lovers do You got looks that ain’t no secret More than Soul, you got that shine If I could fit you in my pocket I would keep you on my shrine It was predictable That I would fall for you You’re unforgettable What was I gonna do? When you’re not even trying And you just blow my mind Not so mysterious I feel delirious Cause I wanna hold you I wanna kiss you in the morning I wanna call you To let you know you got me burning I wanna raise you higher Feed your fire And love you the way lovers do Know come what may I’m still your brother No matter what I’m still your friend And open hearted man Daydreaming I wanna hold you I wanna kiss you in the morning I wanna call you let you know you got me burning I wanna raise you higher Feed your fire And sing till sunset And dance till dawn And share these moments before they’re gone Like lovers do

it is you 03:04
Front row as your biggest fan Ride or die by your side if you need a friend If you’re scared of the night You can hold my hand I’ll take you home You’re on my mind more than can say And your smile makes it harder to look away Butterflies every time I could stare into those eyes all day It is you it is you It is you I feel surely not the first Not the last heart that you steal But I don’t wanna hide I will let it show Cause at the end of the day I want you to know It is you it is you I’m thinking of I get so lost When I see you dance Girl the way your body moves Got me in a trance Can’t believe what I see Every curve is a world to me Come close Closer than before Leave the noise of the world outside And close the door It is you it is you It is you I feel surely not the first Not the last heart that you steal But I don’t wanna hide I will let it show Cause at the end of the day I want you to know It is you it is you I’m thinking of And it’s ok If you don’t feel the same When it comes to these things There’s no one to blame It’s not a burden there’s no hurting Only love Take your time There’s no need to rush Fingers crossed what I feel is just a little crush But for now It is you It is you It is you
16.
Oh Beloved of my Heart May we never grow apart Oh Friend in time of need You're clean water I'm the seed Yes you are you're clean water I'm the seed (Chorus) So fall in Love with yourself And I will follow And I will bring you stars And oceans and the wind And I will sing for you To lift your heart from sorrow All I need from you Is just to let me in Oh keeper of the flame Dark was my world before you came Oh healer of my Soul You mend my parts and make my whole Yes you do you mend my parts And make me whole again (Chorus) Trust and you will see You're worthy of the Love you seek Seek and you will find That you're a spark of the Divine Trust and you will see You're worthy of the Love you seek Seek and you will find That you're a spark, in my Heart (Chorus) So I will stand by you Through dark and gloomy weather And I will dance with you In the middle of your storm And if you're cold then You can have my only sweater And I will hold your hands And keep your Spirit warm Yeah I will keep you close And Love you more
17.
Another room but same old sky somewhere in London My bags are on the floor tho I’ve been here for days There is a little bed where I now lay without you And empty pages that I fill with memories And even tho we’re far apart I still remember Our glory days and all the ways you make me feel And not a day goes by that I don’t think about you And I give thanks cause what we share is still so real But how I wish that we were still in California Where I left the biggest pieces of my heart Where the ocean knows our names Where we played under the stars Where I found you Where I loved you from the start I dream of you dreaming of me somewhere in London I sing of you and when I do I miss you more I speak to God that she may guide you while you wonder That you be safe and loved until we meet again And tho it hurts to carry on I must surrender Cause we know better than to swim against the flow But not a day goes by that I don’t think about you And I give thanks cause what we share Only we know But how I wish that we were still in California Where I left the biggest pieces of my heart Where the ocean knows our names Where we got our favourite scars Where I found you Where I loved you from the start How I wish that we were still in California Driving down the golden coast just chasing dreams But if I close my eyes I’m still in California in my mind with your hand in mine Your hand in mine Your hand in mine And if I close my eyes I’m still in California in my mind
18.
There is a whole wide world to see And I’d love to see it with you Won’t you come away with me We can run and start anew Where the ocean meets the sand And Pachamama sings her song Where you’re free to dance your dance While I play along You are the sweetest sight to me But I won’t dare to say too much Though what a lucky man I’d be To know your taste and feel your touch Now I just want to give you love My heart is giving me no choice For it’s a joy to make you smile And just hear your voice Know that my door is open wide The table’s set, the fire burns So if you ever change your mind Just come inside
