GYPSY
Another journey, a new terrain
Unpack my suitcase and start again
I’m going round and round I never stay
A restless spirit calling me away
Well you can change the name on the street
And you can change the colour of the leaves
And you can change the people you meet
But its always the same face I see staring out of the mirror at me
A new horizon, different dream
The next adventure, a brand new scene
Only the music follows me around
Without these wings of freedom
I’d surely hit the ground
Well you can say my head's in the clouds
And you can say I should settle down
And you can say I’m way too proud
But it’s always the same gypsy I see staring out of the mirror at me
The sun is shining after the rain
There’s joy in my heart above the pain
If you don’t ever try there’ll be no gain
So I just keep on rolling over and over again
Yeah you can hide the pains that you bear
And you can hide the love that you shared
And you can hide the dreams that you dared
And you can hide the child that you were
But you can’t hide the truth..that’s lying there
Because it’s always the same gypsy I see staring out of the mirror at me

ORIGINAL LOVE
All this could disappear
The stars could shed their tears
Hope lies in fear…
I know this illusion we all hold on to
Devastation, deprivation for the many, possession for the few
This whole world spinning round but we never seem to change
Out of step, out of time from the natural way
Tell me tell me tell me
Can hope spring from this?
If everybody’s talking at once, how are we going to listen?
If we turn and walk away when our sister is in pain
what goes around could be coming back our way
The cries of this changing world
If we all point the finger who’re we going to blame
who’s going to save us at the end of the day
Just can’t stop, can’t stop the fighting
Over nothing, nothing at all
Who said we could change the world
If it means we’re killing our brothers for
When are we ever when are we ever going to change?
Will hope spring from this?
Some day our eyes will open, look inside
let go the hurt, and the hate and the pride
See all the beauty that was always there
we are the stuff that stars are made of
The dreams we share could change the world if we
Listen to our hearts….remember
We all know the solution to turn things around
Just believe in the power of your thoughts and what you’re giving out
Indoctrination…..such a long, long history
But if we came from Original Love then we might agree
That’s the only way , the only way, the only way through
Let hope spring from this…….

POPOYO
Here we are in Popoyo
Spread our lives on a carpet on the sand
Travellers sharing stories
Under stars that brought us to this land
Hay Olas en Popoyo
El cancion del viento esta llamando por dentro
Hay olas en Popoyo
La voz de la sirena nos invita’l azul
There are waves in Popoyo
Surf awaits the morning tide
As we dream on this beach tonight
Rhythm of the ocean prepare us for the ride
Hay Olas en Popoyo
El cancion del viento esta llamando por dentro
Hay olas en Popoyo
El baile de los delfines los artistas del mar
Sunrise in Popoyo
Say a prayer to Iemanja
Rolling in on a perfect offshore wind
Golden swell from afar
Hay Olas en Popoyo
El cancion del viento esta llamando por dentro
Hay olas en Santa Teresa
La playa de mi Corazon donde volar los surfistas
Hay olas en Playa Bonita, Costa Rica,
Madeiras, Los tumbas y Puerto Escondido
Hay olas en todo el mundo
Agara la ola de la vida para surfiar a su destino

SONGLINES
A long time ago every journey had a rhythm
Crossing the ice, the desert and the ocean
Casting our dreams on the waves that we sailed upon
Nomadic wanderings across the empty spaces
Weaving our tracks from the dust of many races
Follow the course of the river that winds along
Cries of our ancestors calling through the ages
Voices that come from the dawn of our creation
Move across time on the songlines we travelled on
Footprints are echoing across a distant wasteland
All that is left of some civilization
Just like the stars we could wander on for ever more

Too Much

I got so much music that I can’t find a song
I got so many clothes I don’t know what to put on
I have all this jewelry but I can’t find the gold
And I can’t take the strain of all the stuff that I’m holding,,
We got so much food and then we throw it away
On the other side of the world they’re living day to day
We got our toys and our gadgets and our fancy new wheels
But I just want someone to talk to without staring at a screen
He’s got so much money but its never enough
Stuck on this escalator.. always moving on up
Look at the people down who ain’t getting so much
But when you’re winning that’s when you’re really losing touch
Dime que paso con ii vida
Yo quiero liberar mi Corazon
Yo quiero romper la cadena
Yo quiero volar hasta el sol
Yo no quiero mas essa verguenza
Solo quiero respirar una vez mas
Libera-me!
We got so much information, don’t know what to believe
Here in this tower of Babel I can hardly breath
Yes , I can smoke whatever I want but what I want is some air
Theres some place I got to get to cos I left my spirit there
I got so many friends I can’t remember their names
I keep up with the latest but its always the same
Just like the emperor’s new clothes it’s so hard to admit
There’s something missing but I just can’t put my finger on it
We’re not so different you and I even though we’re apart
We got 2 legs and our heads in the sky
But we still have a heart
And we’re just trying to figure out how to turn the light on
That’s why Im trying, I’m trying to sing to you this song

Gaia

|
I run with the wind through fields golden with light
And I’m flying with birds that are spiralling round
on invisible lines in the sky
I sail with the moon her voyage across the night
Over silvery seas, constellations of stars that are
guiding my journey back home
To Gaia, Maia, jewel of the galaxy
We are dreamers, creators of our own reality
Chorus
But if it ain’t broke, there’s no need to fix this paradise
It’s already beautiful, why create a world of shame, shame, shame
Somebody once said, ‘Don’t throw your love away,’
Waiting for the judgement day
‘cos this world’s in need of love today
I’m holding the keys to heaven in my hands
But I’m fearing the voices of gloom on the air
that are filling my world with despair
Skyscrapers crushing flowers in my soul
‘cos they just can’t let go this illusion of
power and glory and riches that’s draggin us down..
‘Till sunlight, starlight blasting through these shades of grey
So many colours, miracles, blowing the cobwebs away
