Father Time

I see where you are taking me father time
This road can only lead to one place
And it's time I take a look at all that's given to me
To make sure that I'm not sleeping awake.
And a mind that's apathetic's a legitimate fear
'cause we're here but we'll soon disappear
It's so easy to revert to a sedated state
And forget the promise of a new day
If you want to receive it
You've got to look if you're to see
Don't catch me sleeping
No sleeping on the gift of today
'cause the time I have remaining is ticking away
So much beauty is in the present
So don't let it escape
Every moment's once in a lifetime
So we shouldn't wait
If you want to receive it
You've got to look in order to see
I see where you are taking me father time
I see where you are taking me father time
I see where you are taking me father time
I see where you are taking me

Word of the Soul

Do you believe in all the things that you do?
Do you believe that you still have it in you?
'Cause you tell yourself becomes a belief
I know it's gonna happen if I keep pushing through
I know that I can do it if I feel that is true
If I can find the patience now to see it through
Then all I've got to do is decide
You know if something's right from the feeling you get
If you ignore it then you'll never forget
The way it feels when you're not where you belong
You see the truth but you keep going along
So each and every day I ponder the truth
That all the answers are inside of you
They are encrypted in everything that we say and we do
They are decoded with an honest view
Without the fear of what the truth might mean
And contradictions that will alter the scene
Without the fear of what the truth might change
And all the things that it might rearrange
Then we can see what's really there
If you've ever run from the truth then you know what I mean
A willful ignorance directed to the things that we've seen
We turn a blind eye to the very core of ourselves
We take the word of the soul and put it up on the shelf
For another day
Or another life
That we could have
If we believed we could
When you doubt yourself
It's fear of change
'Cause deep down you know
That it's within your range
If you've ever run from the truth then you know what I mean
A willful ignorance directed to the things that we've seen
We turn a blind eye to the very core of ourselves
We take the word of the soul and put it up on the shelf
I'm running out of time
As I make up my mind.
Years have gone behind
As I'm trying to find
What is my place in the world?
Where do I belong?
Watching this unfurl as my life goes on
I've got to believe that there's a reason
That there is something that has always made sense
At every age and in the present tense
Creative expression is where I find my home
It must be guarded from the fear of unknown
Insulated from the currents of life
Separated from societal strife
Everyone's got their home
If you've ever run from the truth then you know what I mean
A willful ignorance directed to the things that we've seen
We turn a blind eye to the very core of ourselves
We take the word of the soul and put it up on the shelf

True Care

Bonded by the heart of love revealed
It's a bare core that will burn forever more
And this light will continue to glow
Unconditional wherever we go
It's a heart that doesn't need to be fanned
And now I understand
Bonded in a way I've not yet known
We have wandered beyond a home outgrown
To a place without seasonal change
Solid ground feels a little bit strange
It's a feeling that is ever the same
True care is all that remains
Bonded by the heart of love revealed
It's a bare core that will burn forever more
And this light will continue to glow
Unconditional wherever we go
It's a heart that doesn't need to be fanned
And now I understand
Bonded by the heart of love revealed
It's a bare core that will burn forever more
And this light will continue to glow
Unconditional wherever we go
It's a heart that doesn't need to be fanned
And now I understand
Bonded in a way I've not yet known
We have wandered beyond a home outgrown
To a place without seasonal change
Solid ground feels a little bit strange
It's a feeling that is ever the same
True care is all that remains
