The Embrace
I'm just a fallen angel sinking in the dust, of my own disappointment and the loss of those I love
I can hear a voice calling asking me to atone for a sensitive disposition, a resistant heart alone
He was always self regrading absorbed by his fears, to deaf to hear the warning, to blind to see the tears
And looking from distance he fooled the world with charm with a smile like the taste of honey and a gaze that could make you cry.
Chorus
But love, oh love, love has it's own healing
And love, oh love, love has it's own grace
Yes love, my love, love has it's own healing
And love, my love, love has it's own grace.
At the door the voice is knocking asking me to come in, though I hoped that I was leaving once again to begin
In the end we failed each other our deep respect was lost, replaced by bitter seething not mindful of the cost
And the stains of love do linger they pool in your embrace, then they try again to enter the realm that lies beneath
Well my mind is full of sorrow for the things I didn’t do, for being unattentive not being there for you.
Again the voice beckons searching for a way, to break through his resistance to touch his soul again
Remember those who loved you, remember their faith and how you left that promise lying in the dirt
He was shocked into being as the silence made him feel and inside his heart longed for comfort and embrace
Now I can hear their calling, now I can feel their love, I'm just a fallen angel sinking in the dust.

Eden

Eden
Meet me at the place where we used to walk, down by the dunes along the shore
Nestle in the reeds, stow away, cast off to our secret place
Listen as the wind rustles overhead, carry our song across the waves
Hold me in your arms whisper my name, tell me our love will never change.
Chorus
Dream of the promise of Eden, safe from the cares of the world
Dream of distant places, we can begin again
Let’s break the bonds that hold us, pull away from our roots
Let’s find the garden of Eden, where love can be.
Watch as the ships slide over the edge, sailing hearts seeking hope
Watch as the sun fires the sea red, a burning past is left behind
(Oh Lord hear my prayer, where is Eden take me there)
Tonight we will rest high in the stars, a constellation shining bright
I'll hold you in my arms whisper your name, tell you our love will never change.
Oh Lord hear my prayer, where is Eden take me there...
Meet me at the place where we used to walk, down by the dunes along the shore
Hold me in your arms whisper my name, tell me our love will never change...

Dreams of Home
Young again on a winters night
Snow falling, feather light
Language thick and full of song
Laughter loud echos on and on.
Chorus
At heart I know where I’m from
These roots they can’t be forgotten
Our dreams replay our DNA
Remind us who we are.
Subconscious slides to the other side
Visceral, feels so alive
Reflected glimpse of where we go
When souls depart, flying home.
Flying high at the speed of light
Search the past, put wrongs to right
We’ll meet again, trespass forgot
Just old friends, we’ll laugh a lot.
Chorus
At heart I know where I’m from
These roots they can’t be forgotten
Our dreams replay our DNA
Remind us who we are.
Outro
Dreams of home...[Repeat]

No Visa
My heart is racing, my head is exploding
My soul is bursting, to see you all again
Been apart too long, missed family and friends
But now the time has come, to hold you all again.
Chorus
Tonight, tonight, I know you’ll be waiting
Tonight, tonight, I’ll see the power
Tonight, tonight, we’ll be together
Tonight, tonight we’ll be on fire.
Stopped at the line, they wouldn’t let me in
They said I was an alien from the land of Sin
I showed the man my visa, he said that don’t work here son
They’ve all been recinded by the chosen one.
Well…my post went viral as I told the world
Of this gross injustice and the politics of fear
The roar was seismic, their order shouted down
Don’t persecute the innocent...stop this clampdown.

YouSeeMe
I’m walking down the street - blink, blink, swivel, zoom
I’ve got the strangest feeling - that I’m not alone
They’ve got this new surveillance - blink, blink, swivel, zoom
It’s got all this matrix falling numbers stuff - it recognises who you are.
Chorus
And...who,who,who is you
And...who,who,who is me
We're all becoming paranoid
That you see me see you
That you see me see you.
People are going a bit loopy - trying not to be seen
They’re all adopting alias’s - we’ve even lost the queen
There’s a man wearing a lama’s head - there’s a girl sporting a beard
There’s a family of innocent dreamers - being hounded by Beauregard trumpets.
It takes me back you know, to the time -when I was a child
They filled our heads with fear, to stop us from turning wild
Like there was this great big eye in the sky, looking down on me
It would see and judge what you did and show it all to Society….
I’m walking down the street - blink, blink, swivel, zoom
I’ve got the strangest feeling - that I’m not alone
Blink, blink, swivel, zoom
You see me see you...

Magnetic
Some high, some low, you never know how life goes
Some days good - some days bad, make a little happy, make a little sad
But when I stop and think of you, my heart jumps, the sun does shine
You lift my soul, make me smile...forget my trouble for a while.
Chorus
Give me all your loving, that’s all I ever need
Give me all your loving, that’s all I ever need
Keep giving all your loving, that’s all I ever need
Give me all your loving, that’s all I ever need
Friends come, friends go, sometimes hard to keep them close
Time spent as family, fades to distant memory
But you are there when times get tough, always close, by my side
There are no secrets, are no lies...we feel as one, we harmonise.
Sunrise, sunset the world turns in orbit
Go to work, come back home...round and round and round we go
And like an atom of tiny parts, we all revolve in unison
Our friendship poetic, our bond is magnetic.

Fake
When I was young I used to think
That when we reached the 21st century
That everything would be so sweet
We’d all live in global harmony
Now I’m here stupid rules the world
You can’t believe how stupid it can be
Heading back, veering right
Become cruel, mean and greedy.
Chorus
Welcome to the world at F A K E
Hear the truth, you want to hear, you know that they’ll agree
Make-it-up, invent and lie, they don’t care just stay logged-in
They’ll keep your fears alive in the fake-dumb 21stCentury
Now we all live a lie, imagined lives of false confection
Wear a mask to hide what’s true, fabricate your own persona
Infected by the cyber curse...damned to live, lives of illusion
Do we shun reality, or choose to live in perfect delusion.
The data gods feast on high, greed corrupts...always
Faith and trust compromised, all of us betrayed
Big brother logged inside our heads, thoughts held to ransom
Zombie bots mesmerised, trapped inside the web.

Great Planet
Here's Don on the lawn, in-front of his big White House
It’s a sunny day, a funny day and Don’s got things to say to us
It’s only weather folks, sometimes it’s hot, sometimes it’s cold
We’ll need global warming when we’re freezing in winter time
I’m a stable genius and I know this climate thing’s a hoax
So, hasta la vista Paris...we’re out of here.
Here’s Mac the wonder kid, looking handsome, looking cool
Mac’s got a big handshake and he’s got things to say to Don
We know that each year our planet gets hotter than the last
And only a fool would think we’re not to blame
Give me your scientist, your brilliant thinker seeking freedom
Au revoir Don...we’ll make our planet great again.
Outro
Make Our Planet Great Again...

Sixteen-Ten
First there was darkness, then there was light
From the birth of star, a blue diamond is forged.
Goldilocks sits in the right chair
Waiting for life to take a hold there
Casting her dice, she travels through time
Miracles occur, all life begins.
All is natural selection, as new species take turns
An ape stands and walks tall and changes the rules of the game.
Goldilocks sits in the right chair
Waiting for life to take a hold there
Casting her dice, she travels through time
Miracles occur, all life begins.
Like a meteor, Gaia is struck
By a new force, that changes our world
In the blink of an eye, the change is cosmic
Evolution gives way to intelligent design
The earth is trashed, as we poison our world
Cause Mass extinction, as our climate is changed
The Anthropocene has arrived
The age of man has arrived
Can we live in balance...overcome our need
Can we live in balance...overcome our greed
