Look at the places we can go if we don't try we won't know
It's up to us to take control, you can't deny you got to do whats right
Focus on the changes within in this moment the healing begins
Here and now it starts today believe in yourself and you'll find your way
Life starts with a spark and it burns like a flame
Life takes time playing the game
Gotta open up your heart and heal it
We live and we learn we all bleed the same
Life takes time playing the game
Gotta open up your heart and heal it
Sometimes we feel so alone the weight of the world could be a heavy load
Never leave an unturned stone live your life and let the truth be told
Finding hope in everything through the years that have passed
And the good and the bad getting better everyday
Believe in yourself and you'll find your way
This could be heaven right here under your nose
But you’re still struggling with your pride and your ego
You never acknowledged your, your own shadows
Life ain’t always just about peace and rainbows
Do you want, healing well, you gotta, do the work open your heart yeah
Take a medicated break to the start yeah
sick of fakin it making it with a broken wing
Opening your third eye can be painful and shameful
But well worth the hurt is the breakthrough it’s all you
You know me I gotchu I’ll be waiting when you make it with a high five
Being alive ain’t truly living
Put your ego aside begin your healing journey
Hey kids it’s uncle Mike
Just here to remind you to wash behind your ears and do your meditation, your shadow work your self reflection
Like my GG used to say take your time but hurry up
Got a crack in your heart let’s patch it up heal it

lights flash from the rising sun
another journey has begun
seeking the vision for what we want
won't stop until the work is done
but it wont come easy we've got to try
you've got the power inside
need more love in every direction
need more love to get satisfaction
need more love in deeper connection
need more love for a new generation
seeking shelter from a storm
in a world so confused and torn
darkness in their hearts for way too long
lets overcome the evil doing us harm
but it wont come easy we've got to try
you've got the power inside
need more love in every direction
need more love to get satisfaction
need more love in deeper connection
need more love for a new generation
The type of love mi have it cyaan done after this yah song yah over
Flow from a well weh cyaan run dry it over flow ya ova?
Mmm more love than mr lova lova
Love so strong that hate affi run fi cover
L o v e inna mi vision
Unity mi pree no division
Yuh no see more love we demand
A we a hole a vibes and sing along cho!
Affi ready fi come down and around like we said
Small communities with a own life set
Propaganda we refuse and it a statement
We watch news dem spread from nuff lenth
No susu susu susu and no wacthy wacthy man
More love, more life a dat alone we want
Kbong tell dem seh disya no laba laba chant
Ah nuh chilling music dis ah nuh just for a blunt

its true not everything always goes right life can be unfair sometimes
somedays the sun is gone only gray skies but everyday keeps getting brighter
shimmering skies and the sun is shining higher all around theres something
in the air like magic everywhere
in this life so many things to celebrate
in this life come together and appreciate
in this life we are what we create
in this life let love lead the way
keeping my head high even through the low tide
fluctuate like waves on roller coaster rides
if i strive to put the differences aside lead with my heart focus on the inside
when i'm out and beyond my comfort zone my fear lies heavy in the unknown
nowhere to run nowhere to go in the shadows is where I'll grow
yea its easier than ever today to get wrapped up and trapped up in hate
but no I won't take the bait I wanna rise above and let love lead the way
everyday that you open your eyes is a gift to wake up and live your life
i'm waving to the other side its time and we've got to recognize in this life

can you feel it
do you believe it

searching for answers with everything on my back
under the shadows I focus on the minds eye
vision for better ways and means to a better life
when will this all make sense to me patiently waiting for my moment of clarity thoughts are amplified I can hear the voice inside
telling me to push on through challenges in front of you
now I place one foot in front of the other and every step I take brings me more confidence light overcoming dark illuminate the night sky looking towards the east I see the sunrise

Everywhere I Go
04:16
|
|||
I hear your heart beating everywhere
When we're apart I can hear you there
I hear your heart beating everywhere, everywhere I go
People say that I must be in love
The way I forget what we're speaking of
The way I stand there smiling straight ahead
And walk away without hearing a word they said
I hear your heart beating everywhere
When we're apart I close my eyes and hear you there
I hear your heart beating everywhere, everywhere I go
In the middle of the football game
At the beach in the pouring rain
Standing on a hillside staring at the sun
People hurry by the unfortunate one
With the faraway eyes and a mystery smile
Moving my body in a ragamuffin style
I can't sit down when I hear it start
I hear your heart everywhere I go
People say that I must be a fool
Cause when I'm near you I cannot be cool
I don't quite make sense when I talk to you
And when you smile I forget everything I knew
I hear your heart beating everywhere
When we're apart I can close my eyes and hear you there
I hear your heart beating everywhere, everywhere I go
Standing in the market where I buy my bread
With a hunger in my belly and a rhythm in my head
Looking all around for something good to eat
Between the butter and the beans and the mops and the meat
Coffee from the mountain, honey from the bee
Nothing tastes as sweet as you taste to me
Rocking in the aisle to my inside song
People looking at me think I got a Walkman on
I hear your heart beating everywhere
I hear your heart
I hear your heart beating everywhere
I hear your heart beating everywhere I go
I hear your heart beating everywhere
I hear your heart whoa yea
I hear your heart beating everywhere
I hear your heart beating everywhere I go

Living In A Dream
04:18
|
|||
I fell asleep and when I woke up I was living in a dream / I heard a voice calling but I could barely see / could not distinguish this life from my reality / I reached out my hand to see what it would bring for me
just like the night sky stars shining bright / sun moon set rise and they passing by / I can see the shadows of the trees swaying in the wind / like the branch from this tree right down to the leaves / bark and the roots foundation underneath / cause our foundation yea we started from the sea / but what if you could fly what if you could swim / choose your own path bring it up from within / this is the calling of a lifetime now see the sign / signs turn to blurs lights and the curves / mesmerize my eyes come and brace it for the next turn / what will we find in the universe /
I fell asleep and when I woke up I was living in a dream / I heard a voice calling but I could barely see / Could not distinguish this life from my reality / I reached out my hand to see what it would bring for me
now feel the breeze blow through the window / winds carry sounds develop into echoes / traveling through the space of this temple / look what we've built with our hands carved out from lands created to be dwellings for us to lay our heads / only time will tell and show us the evidence / what if every star was a sign for someone below help them to grow / nurturing and furthering our souls so they can go / the world up above could be reflections of us / revealing and concealing all the past and paths we've took / I think I'll slow down take another look /
I fell asleep and when I woke up I was living in a dream / I heard a voice calling but I could barely see / could not distinguish this life from my reality / I reached out my hand to see what it would bring for me

Jam By The Fire
03:50
|

I wanna jam by the fire
Watch the flames burn higher
I wanna jam the night away
Come on lets jam the night away
Temperatures rise
Fire ignites
Under the moon
It provides the light
Who's willing to breathe
Open our eyes
Its time to see
We're one of a kind
It fuels our souls
And takes control
Music plays on
Like gardens grow
We plant the seed
And wait for the season
Water for life
It's all in good reason
Now we must thrive
Searching to find
The sound of drums
It soothes the mind
We chant we dance
This is our chance
Let everything go
No turning back
Lead with our hearts and set the goal
Alongside those who walk the road
A quest for love a quest for life
Look towards the light blue skies above
And the music
Could take us away
If we choose it
I wanna jam by the fire
Watch the flames burn higher
I wanna jam the night away
Come on lets jam the night away
Before the roads
Before the streets
Before building came
And concrete
Imagine a place
Creeks and streams
Breathing green like gatherings
Between the hills a breathe of life
Generations seen through mountains eyes
Free to live
Free to die
Free to soar
Like the eagle flies
Glimpse of hopes
Through telescopes
Searching for those
Who cross the globe
If the dark consumes our heart
At the end of the day a brand new start
When were gone on empty thrones
Leave behind some stepping stones
Watch these bones turn to dust
The universe is balance
And the music
Could take us away
If we choose it
I wanna jam by the fire
Watch the flames burn higher
I wanna jam the night away
Come on lets jam the night away

In This Together
03:30
|
|||
I don't want to fight anymore, can we stop this crying
We keep fighting this war, too many of us dying
We're all in this together right now, its time we ought to show it
To my brothers and sisters I call, its time to stop the fighting
Sometimes in life we feel so lost
Can't find our place where do we belong
Over the breaking point now move along
Must find the strength in ourselves carry on
I don't want to fight anymore, can we stop this crying
We keep fighting this war, too many of us dying
We're all in this together right now, its time we ought to show it
To my brothers and sisters I call, we got to stop the fighting
These days are long when we've worked so hard
It ain't easy when were torn apart
Pressure's rising then we break down
I got to pick myself up off the ground
I don't want to fight anymore, can we stop this crying
We keep fighting this war, too many of us dying
We're all in this together right now, its time we ought to show it
To my brothers and sisters I call, we got to stop the fighting

Dos Corazones
04:33
|
|||
riding on the morning train strangers that day
everything changed when you smiled my way
on a one way track since you said hello
no holding back come on lets go
iniciemos juntos el camino dos corazones se vuelven uno
te quiero me haces muy feliz
te adoro eres todo para mi
te amo no quiero estar sin ti
here's to the memories life we create
our family chances we take
live a life that's true until the end
and I'm with you forever my friend
iniciemos juntos el camino dos corazones se vuelven uno
te quiero me haces muy feliz
te adoro eres todo para mi
te amo no quiero estar sin ti
