Father Time 05:51
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

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 05:20
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
