MY MY, CROSS THE LINE
My my, cross the line, cross the line, cross the line
My my, cross the line
Leave it all behind
Ain’t no turning back to the way, to the way things were
Ain’t no turning back to the way things were
Left my house and home
Trouble was my company
You never know the price of freedom
Till you are free
My my, cross the line, cross the line
My my, cross the line, cross the line
Leave it all behind
Living in a world of sorrow
Living in a world of pain
Dreaming of a world that’s better
Than the one I got today
I made it to your door
With my heart in my hand
And when you took me in
All I had was my violin
My my, cross the line, cross the line
My my, cross the line, cross the line
Leave it all behind
Ain’t no turning back to the way, to the way things were
Ain’t no turning back to the way things were

Sea of Gold

SEA OF GOLD
This beat up Ford
Don’t drive no more
This blue dress
Tattered and torn
This bayonette and crooked sword
Wont take me where I’m headed for
I’m dreaming of a
Sea of gold for everyone
Sea of gold in the sun
Sea of gold big enough to carry us to the Big Love
There’s treasure here
In this chest of mine
So much to give
Behind these eyes
Sisters of Song
Lay your hands on me
Melt away
What I don’t need
I’m dreaming of a
Sea of gold for everyone
Sea of gold in the sun
Sea of gold big enough to carry us to the Big Love

DID YOUR MAMA
Did your mama teach you how to share?
It’s a bacchanalia
It’s a cornucopia
Champagne and caviar
What else is there?
Swimming pool and fancy yacht
Vacation in the south of France
You got anything you want
What else is there?
Did your mama teach you how to share?
Your company has rising stock
Cheaper labor in the eastern block
No complaing in the sweat shop
What else is there?
Making deals in the back room
If you don’t like it you can change the rules
Thank your friends in the Legislature
What else is there?
Did your mama teach you how to share?
Never felt like we had enough
Welfare check don’t buy much
I started working from 8 on up
What else was there?
I know when I look at you
You got feelings like I do
Can we go by the golden rule
What else is there?
Did your mama teach you how to share?

Tyrant

TYRANT INSIDE ME
tyrant in the north
tyrant in the East
tyrant in the sky
tyrant inside me
this tyrant will take you down
tyrant slings her blade
nothing's good enough
till the whole kingdom's razed
revolution of the heart ensues
on your knees you will receive the truth
a tyrant gave me life
a tyrant gave him his
yesterday i hurt you with my iron fist
i'll go march the streets
protest greed and hate
come home with my own nuclear weapons race
revolution of the heart ensues
on your knees you will receive the truth
(is she gonna make a change, make a change?)
anything is possible when you
haven't got anything left to lose
can we heal the world?
what hope for mid-east peace
if I don't disarm the tyrant inside me?

THIS IS A MOMENT OF GRACE
Here we are where we belong
We are fragile and we are strong
Eyes ablaze and hearts unbound
From the shadow, the sacred ground
And are we finally home?
Love is letting go
How many times we’ve had to die
Be broken down, and yet arise
And we’ve fought and we’ve flown
We have faltered and we’ve grown
And are we finally home?
Does love mean letting go?
But oh, what a wonderful day
This is a moment of grace
And we are finally home
Love is letting go
And oh, what a wonderful day
This is a moment of grace

God Said

God Said
The sun is beating down on brown earth and brown skin
The guards are beating down on saffron robes and shaven heads
The gods don’t seem to notice the suffering of men
We cry “Why Me…”
“Mommy, I’m thirsty,” baby crying all the night
“Baby, I’m sorry, but the well has been sucked dry.”
She knows the trucks are loaded, and that something just ain’t right.
She cries “why me, why my baby?”
And God said ‘I am everything’
God said ‘I made it all’
God said ‘I am everyone’
Shema Yisrael Hashem Ehad
She wakes up in a fog, there’s something in the air she breathes.
Her daughter isn’t like the others
Why wont she speak?
How did we let Gordon Gekko take control of the streets?
She cries “Why me?”
I wake up in the morning
Music in my pen
Birds outside my window and my lover in my bed
And everyone has been the victim and the one who’s sinned
Why me?
And God said ‘I am everything’
God said ‘I made it all’
God said ‘I am everyone’
La ilaha illa Allah
And this too, my love.
And this too
And God said ‘I am everything’
God said ‘I made it all’
God said ‘I am everyone’
La ilaha illa Allah
Shema Yisrael, Adonai eloheinu, Adonai echad

Here is the Rose

HERE IS THE ROSE
A change is gonna come, no turning back now
I feel a surge of blood as a veil falls to the ground
How long has the fragrance of our fair bloom been denied
Out from the shadows spring the givers of life
No matter what we greet the day
The time has come, can’t turn away
HERE IS THE ROSE, HERE IS THE DANCE
The infinite before us, will it take another ark?
The final straw the ancient brawl of the sword and the heart
How long we’ve been silent as one sister in three
Is torn from the inside just for being she
But everywhere our faces shining
In the streets one billion rising
HERE IS THE ROSE, HERE IS THE DANCE

I AM A MAN

I AM A MAN
I am a Man
I will be counted
The Lord who brought me here
Wants me to be free
The Lord who brought me here
Brought me to my knees
“You can kill the dreamer
You can never kill the dream”*
I am a Man
I will be counted
The Lord who brought me here
Wants me to be free
“You can kill the dreamer
You can never kill the dream”
*Rev. Billy Kyles
