care for each other

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

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
|

what we need is love
03:43
|
|

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?

spirit on our side

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

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

I’ve been around the world
i’ve seen a lot of girls
i may even have kissed a few
but after I met you
my life began anew
cause no one is as good as you
been to a lot of places
seen a lot faces
pretty ladies everywhere
but I don’t even care
nobody can compare
cause no one is as good as you
I’m gonna love you every day
cause you’re my woman and i’m here to stay
I’m gonna love you all the way, it’s true
cause no one is as good as you
I’m talking ‘bout
the crinkles on your nose
your pretty little toes
the crazy stuff your tongue can do
your eyes and how they shine
I can’t believe you’re mine
no one is as good as you
don’t get me
started on your lips
the way you shake your hips
with that body you can start a fire
the way you call me baby
your voice it drives me crazy
no one is as good as you
I’m gonna love you every day
cause you’re my woman and i’m here to stay
I’m gonna love you all the way
I will cause
nobody is as good as you
and I know, yes I know
that we were always meant to be
and I know, I’ll show you
that you can always count on me
you can count on me
the way you hold my hand
I know you understand me
lover you’re the very best
your precious loving heart
I’ve loved you from the start
and I’ve never felt so very blessed
I’m gonna love you every day
cause you’re my woman
and you i’m here to stay

cause no one loves me like you do

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

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

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

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
