LYRICS
"Awaken and Allow"
i sit here quiet fingers folded
holding something i can’t see
i must not fear what comes tomorrow
i must not dream of yesterday
i’m harboring a deep compassion
slowly it is what i keep
i watch it grow
from far
from close
Awaken the nature that is me

i have to get out of California
the days go by like smoke in the wind
oh to grow
oh to discover
the nature without the nature within

i am so still i feel the earth turning
the moon falls slowly into place
do not resist new forms are calling
they patiently await embrace
do not stop change in favor of comfort
a bud cannot resist to bloom
the more i learned the less i knew
allow the nature that is you

i have to get out of California
the days go by like smoke in the wind
oh to grow
oh to discover
the nature without the nature within

"Geist"
placed in time
just for us
golden high
don’t say much
you don’t need much

eyes can’t see all truth
feel within
know it’s you
and i will too
believe it true
i knew then
all is well
i stare into our god
i knew it you
all along

smile on my face thinking of you
smile on my face thinking of you
