Gather up the People

Gather up the People
World is turning on it’s head and I’m all shook up
Like I’m falling to the bottom and I try look up
But it’s spinning no matter where I turn
We’re searching for the light
And it’s all around, but it slips right through my hands
What is the answer?
All I can hold on to is my belief in you
CH: We just need to love more
We just need to give more
We just need to get back up when we’ve been knocked down
We just need to hope more
And I hope for you
I have hope for you
I believe in you
Surely there’s a reason that we’re so messed up
Is it a lesson or a challenge for us to rise up
Speak our truth now it’s time to make a stand
And know that we are not alone
And the things we share are greater than the things that keep us divided
All I can focus on is what we can become
CH
Gather up the people we are ready to rise
Gather up the lovers we are ready to love
Gather up the givers we are ready to give
Gather up the warriors we are ready to fight
Gather up the hopers who are ready to hope
Gather up your people who are ready to hope
Gather up the people who are ready to give
Gather up the people

Hypothetic Needles

Hypothetic Needles
Walking in fear of hypothetic needles
Treading so lightly our feet don’t touch the ground
Walking in fear of hypothetic needles
Needless to say
It’s all around
The trouble we found
We’re being ideologically hearded divided
All of the ideas we’ve gathered, decided
Go find a thin wedge of difference then drive it
Fighting for scraps
Conquered divided
CH
Victims of circumstance gather like sheep
Marching lock step hell bent no retreat
Strengthening similarities, simplifying strength
And there’s always a way you can love unconditionally
It’s alright to sacrifice self to find empathy
You’re no more alert or alive than the drunkest of fools
If you judge then you will be judged too
With this sliding scale that goes from us to them
You see how it happens again and again
While we distract ourselves with our delusions grand and try to take a stand
I am not your enemy
Do you think you’re in control as you line up for the fall

Hid Myself

Hid Myself
Don’t cry for me I don’t need your tears
I just wanna be let be
Don’t cry for me though I’m living my worst fears
I’m getting stronger every day
But I don’t want to be the story that they tell
I know it too well
From all of the times that I hid myself
Everybody lied for me but only a fool can fool themselves
Oh and how I tried, how I tried, how I tried
But you know truth is absolute and I could not escape it
Turn it upside down and shake it
For all of the times that I hid myself
Take off your disguise

Mountain Peak
03:11
|
|||
Well I’m gonna take my baby we’re gonna climb to the mountain peak
We’ll spin around on top of the world making love while the planet sleeps
Come along baby come along baby
We’ve got a long way to go
Gonna put on our glad rags and fill up a tucker bag
Then we’ll hit the road
Come on little Darlin come little Darlin
We can leave behind our sins
We’ll just pack up and drive and you and me will ride like bandits with the wind
Tell me are you ready tell me that you’re ready
Coz we’ve been on hold too long
But the north wind is blowing and wherever we’ll be going
Is the place that we’ll belong
Ooh sweet baby come sweet baby
We can leave behind our sins
We’ll just pack up and drive it’s damn well time that we let this adventure begin
Well I’m gonna take my baby we’re gonna climb to the mountain peak
We’ll spin around on top of the world making love while the planet sleeps
I’m gonna shake off the lazy we’re gonna set each others souls on fire
And the stars will be taking in the sparks we’re creating
And we’ll lay back and watch them fly

The Edge
04:14
|
|||
Sure enough in a cloud of dust I fell right to the floor
Might could say that today’s the day we’ve all been waiting for
I was so high I couldn’t see the edge
And if I try tell me will I ever get up again?
One by one all my dreams are crumbling everything feels so unkind
Try as I might I’m losing this fight or am I just loosing my mind
So I’ll write it on paper and tally the scars
Put it together and tear it apart
Rebuild the bridges and mend broken hearts
Start from the beginning and reach for the stars
I was so high I couldn’t see the edge
But I I try I know that I - I’ll get back up again
Will I get up (I will get up)
I will get up (I will get up )
I Will get back up again

Change is Coming
03:46
|
|||
I feel a change is coming coming over you and
I - I know it must be something
If anything it’s worth a try
I can’t see the future but I’m trying to learn from all that’s passed
Hoping to find an answer - is anybody out there?
All of the world is racing and everybody wants the lead
I know the things worth chasing and the things that I believe
I can’t make your choices but I can be strong in mine
I don’t have the answers is anybody out there?
I used to run away but now I stand my ground
I used to hide the truth but now I have found
We all have a will
We all have a will
We all have a will and I will not let you down
Why do you need to shut off when I can find a million ways
To make you feel my love but to give requires take
And I can’t make you happy
But I can show you how you are the only one I wish for when I say
Is anybody out there?
I feel a change is coming
Coming over everyone
We need to feel something
And to know that we belong
We can come together or we can be torn apart
I hope to find the answers
Is anybody out there?

Hummingbird's Wing
03:23
|
|||
This rock is forever we are the blink of a hummingbirds wing
Glaciers are somewhere in between
Melting melting cyclic or a sign
Waters rising I hope it meets the fire
Diversity disappearing at a rate we can’t deny
So lock on, tune out, buy the ticket take the ride
Light is forever
We are the blink of a hummingbirds wing
Hope is something we all need
By design or disease taking much more than we need
When it’s our turn to flee will we be sorry
Common sense is for the commoners with no sense of control
Maybe the horse has bolted but hey what would we know?
Truth is forever
We are the blink of a hummingbirds wing
Stories shape what we believe
Forever’s forever
We are the blink of a hummingbirds wing
I hope you get all that you need

I never felt the cold til I felt your words hit my gut
And now this ring of gold is the prison where I’m trapped
Love feels like so long ago but not long enough
To just let it go I won’t give up
I won’t let you down
I will be waiting til you turn around
Take a look over
Take a look over
Take a look over all the promises we made
Take a look over
Take a look over
Take a look over all the promises we made
Feels like emptiness has taken up the space where we stood
And even the pain has begun to fade
Though I’m not sure it should
Feels like the dark’s closing in and engulfing us
So it’s sink or swim if we both give up
If this ship goes down
Well I will be waiting till you turn around
Take a look over
Take a look over
Take a look over all the promises we made
Take a look over
Take a look over
Take a look over all the promises we made

Everything I Wanted
02:33
|
|||
You’re everything I wanted and more
Everything I wanted and more
And all of the times that we struggled and fought
Like the love that we found was a war
You were everything I wanted and more
I found you
I was looking for nothing but I found myself something it’s true
You and your spark that won’t burn out who’ve dreamed it would turn out
That it was you
And you were everything I wanted and more
Everything I wanted and more
You had a million good reasons to just pack up and leave
But you believed I was worth fighting for
And it was everything we wanted and more

Wilsons River Blues

When the big rains coming
River’s gonna rise
When the big rains coming
River’s gonna rise
There’s so much water coming down
Coming down
So much water coming down
When the river rises
It’s gonna take everything
When the river rises
It’s gonna take everything
There’s so much water all around
All around
So much water all around
When the levy’s breaking
We’re gonna sink or swim
When the levy’s breaking
We’re gonna sink or swim
When the levy’s breaking
It’s gonna take everything
There’s so much water coming now
Coming now
So much water coming now
When the water dries up
We’re gonna start again
When the water dries up
We’re gonna start again
I can feel the spirit going round
Going round
Feel the spirit going round
