Yellow, I’m alive in your eyes, in your smile
Yellow, My surprise for the very first time, in your smile
Tell me all you know
I would never miss the show
If you’d stand in my shoes, you would know what to do

Lantern on a Hill
06:39
|

Dreams are worth defending
Love is never ending
Moments left to bending time
Open every doorway
It matters not what comes your way
Only to enjoy the ride
The stars are aligned
Your friends by your side
Your head in the clouds
Carry heaven on your brow
Trust in where your heart pulls
Remember there are no rules
Never let their judgments bind
When you sail with your soul
You shine
let the love rule
Like a lantern on a hill
The stars are aligned
Your friends by your side
Your head in the clouds
Carry heaven on your brow
There’s nothing left to doubt
Jump right in
Climb right out
I’ll see you on a hill
With your lantern shining still
I’ll you follow you tonight
Through the dark
To the light
I’ll follow you tonight through the dark
To the light
Dreams are worth defending
Love is never ending
Moments left to bending time
Open every doorway
It matters not what comes your way
Only to enjoy the ride
The stars are aligned
Your friends by your side
Your head in the clouds
Carry heaven on your brow
There’s nothing left to doubt
Jump right in
Climb right out
I’ll see you on a hill
With your lantern
Shining still
We’ll follow you tonight
Through the dark
To the Light

What is that sound?
Oh, I’ve been slipping down a deep dive, reclined.
Rain in the heart, let in a miracle.
You’ll see…now I’ll start.
Pieces, pieces, the child in pieces.
Mend them, mend them,
Forgive and start.
Return to the love that you come from
Return, return to what’s inside.
And you’ll get away from the bad days.
Oh come with me to life.
Tremors in life
Oh, been tripping down a deep dive inside.
Rain in the heart, I reached out for someone else to save me..but no one saved me.
Pieces, pieces, the child in pieces.
Mend them, mend them,
Forgive and start.
Return to the love that you come from
Return, return to what’s inside.
And you’ll get away from the sleeping terrified.
Oh come with me to life.
Return to the love that you come from.
Return, return to what’s inside.
And you’ll get away from the bad days,
Oh come with me to life.
Return with me to life.

West Coast
05:39

Us kids on the west coast have visions bold,
Those kids on the east coast have wills of gold,
The kids in the middle are building vast
Put us all together to make it last
Whatever it takes,
We’re living to make things right
We stand for the day when the sun shines down
Upon a new land where everyone’s standing free and living for love, peace, and harmony
You come from the forest, and from the sea
You traversed the desert to be free
You live for the beauty in your mind
And you bring life to everything you find
Whatever it takes
We’re running to make things shine
We’re building a team of kindred souls
We’re bringing a dawn, connection across the planet that everyone’s on to treat Her right
And love will guide the way
Earth cries out loud, but not in vain
It’s time, beginning today
Trust in your will and all of your grace
You come from the cities and from the plains
You can’t stand for things to stay the same
You live far beyond survival needs
You don’t feel alive without your dreams.
Whatever it takes

Earth cries out loud, but not in vain
It’s time, beginning today
Trust in your will and all of your grace
Hearts beat as one across the land
Find all the others, take a stand
You come from the cities and from the plains,
You can’t stand for things to stay the same
You live for the beauty in your mind
You bring life to everything you find
You come from the forest from the sea
You traversed the desert to be free
You live far beyond survival needs
And you don’t feel alive without your dreams

Stop the Boxes
07:41
|
|||
Beyond wishes, dreams and fantasies, you are here with me
Burst the bubbles
Dissolve the mist
You have never lived a life like this
I used to think these hopes were harmless
I used to mold you to my themes
I lived in pure fantasizing
Now I know that “here” is king
I compared you always to my version
But you are more than that
Take this time
Stop the boxes
Be the answer
Wishing “nowhere”
I am here
There’s no tomorrow
Don’t hope for tomorrow
Cause there’s nothing better than the moment here
Life is here and ever unfolding
Burning down veneers
And there’s no time and no need for fears
Even when you fit my vision
Even when you are my prince
A comparison stands between us
A peripheral emptiness
You are more than a handful
More than I could dream
We can’t help but make our stories
But it’s more than what it seems
Take this time
Stop the boxes
Be the answer
Wishing “nowhere”
I am here
There’s no tomorrow
Don’t hope for tomorrow
Cause there’s nothing better than the moment here
Remind me where I really am
And the starry glaze will turn to diamonds
And this is what we have
The lovebirds we thought we were
Explodes into oceans
To suns and moons and wind
Here and now with you my darling
You are my greatest friend
Here and now with you my darling
You are my greatest friend
Life is here and ever unfolding
Burning down veneers
And there’s no time and no need for fears
Here and now with you my darling
You are my greatest friend
Here and now with you my darling
You are my greatest friend
Take this time
Stop the Boxes
Be the answer
Wishing “nowhere”
I am here
There’s no tomorrow
Don’t hope for tomorrow
Cause there’s nothing better than the moment here
Cause there’s nothing better than the moment here

You Against the World
06:36
|
|||
Dangerous
Terrifying
You imagine you were born of innocence
See you come, they wanna run
Still they’re magnetized to the vortex of energy
Even still, childlike thrills guide you to adventures wild
Listen to your overview; there is something shattered, girl
There is something like electric fences built between you
There is something like electric fences built between you
There is something like electric fences built between you
You and the world,
It’s you against the world
Tease don’t trust,
Insist it’s lust,
Never do you find a love
Open up through the pain
For there is much in life for you, my friend
Leave behind the tortured mind
There is something shattered, girl
Leave behind the tortured mind
There is something shattered, girl
There is something like electric fences built between you
There is something like electric fences built between you
There is something like electric fences built between you
You and the world,
It’s you against the world
There is something like electric fences built between you
You and the world,
It’s you against the world

Gaia

Gaia
by David West and Containher
Watch me sitting by her lovely, silver hair
Watch her glow like anyone could fair
My purpose in the world is suddenly alive
Her purpose is
To magnify
Sitting by the world servicing the industries
She is the lovely words
And the enlightened breeze
Many worlds to see
Lifting through my eyes
She asks me why,
why I believe these lies?
She came from the nothing.
She will spark
Awakening the start
She flies by like a bird of fire
Watch me change into a silver bird
I fly across the sea ‘til I return to her
My purpose in the world is suddenly alive
Her purpose is to magnify
La de da
She will spark
Awakening the start
She flies by like a bird of fire
She will spark
Awakening the start
She flies by like a bird of fire
La de da

Day meets night
My highest hopes
When stars collide, each has a wish
Wandering dreams are little seeds to light the path of home
And when we lay these arms to rest,
We reach the life of stars in flight
We do the work
We do it all
Stars…the memory of one light
I have seen miraculous things
I’ve been to your golden webs across the horizon. Here.
When the stars take flight tonight,
Your highest hopes will soar
And build the world how your heart dreams and we’ll all live amazing things
We do the work
We do it all
Stars…the memory of one light
I have seen miraculous things
I’ve been to your confidence in building tomorrow
I have seen the makings,
The starchitects around me
Touching night and bringing stars to life
And when we lay these fears to rest
We reach the life of stars in flight
