[777 The Great Work]

Out of the ruins
Out from the wreckage
Can't make the same mistake this time
We are the children
The last generation
We are the ones they left behind
And i wonder when we are ever gonna change it
Living under the fear till nothing else remains

We don't need another hero
We don't need to know the way home
All we want is life beyond the thunderdome

Looking for something we can rely on
There's got to be something better out there
Love and compassion, their day is coming
All else are castles built in the air
And i wonder when we are ever gonna change it
Living under the fear till nothing else remains
All the children say

We don't need another hero
We don't need to know the way home
All we want is life beyond the thunderdome

What do we do with our lives
We leave only a mark
Will our story shine like a life
Or end in the dark
Give it all or nothing

[hueyii]

So familiar and overwhelmingly warm
This one, this form I hold now.
Embracing you, this reality here,
This one, this form I hold now, so
Wide eyed and hopeful.
Wide eyed and hopefully wild.

We barely remember what came before this precious moment,
Choosing to be here right now. Hold on, stay inside...
This body holding me, reminding me that I am not alone in
This body makes me feel eternal. All this pain is an illusion.

Linkin Park- A Place For My Head

I watch how the
Moon sits in the sky / in the dark night
Shining with the light from the sun
The sun doesn't give / light to the moon assuming
The moon’s going to owe it one
It makes me think of how you act to me / You do
Favors and then rapidly / You just
Turn around and start asking me / about
Things that you want back from me
I’m sick of the tension / sick of the hunger
Sick of you acting like I owe you this
Find another place / to feed your greed -
While I find a place to rest
I want to be in another place
I hate when you say you don’t understand
(You’ll see it's not meant to be)
I want to be in the energy, not with the enemy
A place for my head
Maybe someday I’ll be just like you / and
Step on people like you do and / Run
Away the people I thought I knew
I remember back then who you were
You used to be calm / used to be strong
Used to be generous / but you should’ve known / That you’d
Wear out your welcome / now you see
How quiet it is / all alone / I’m so
Sick of the tension / sick of the hunger
Sick of you acting like I owe you this
Find another place / to feed your greed -
While / I find a place to rest / I’m so
Sick of the tension / sick of the hunger
Sick of you acting like I owe you this
Find another place / to feed your greed -
While / I find a place to rest
You try to take the best of me
Go away

[Elephant Man]

Another Brick in the Wall Part 2 (Waters)

We don't need no education
We dont need no thought control
No dark sarcasm in the classroom
Teachers leave them kids alone
Hey! Teachers! Leave them kids alone!
All in all it's just another brick in the wall.
All in all you're just another brick in the wall.

Alanis Morissette - Still

I am the harm which you inflict.
I am your brilliance and frustration.
I'm the nuclear bombs if they're to hit.
I am your immaturity and your indignance.
I am your misfits and your praised.
I am your doubt and your conviction.
I am your charity and your rape.
I am your grasping and expectation.

I see you averting your glances.
I see you cheering on the war.
I see you ignoring your children,
And I love you still.
And I love you still.

I am your joy and your regret.
I am your fury and your elation.
I am your yearning and your sweat.
I am your faithless and your religion.

I see you altering history.
I see you abusing the land.
I see you, your selective amnesia,
And I love you still.
And I love you still.

Haaaaaaaaahh
I see you averting your glances.
I see you cheering on the war.
I see you ignoring your children,
And I love you still.
And I love you still.
I see you altering history.
I see you abusing the land.
I see you, your selective amnesia,
I love you still.
And I love you still.

I am your tragedy and your fortune.
I am your crisis and delight.
I am your profits and your prophets.
I am your art, I am your vice.
I am your death and your decisions.
I am your passion and your plight.
I am your sickness and convalescence.
I am your weapons and your light.

I see you holding your grudges.
I see you gunning them down.
I see you silencing your sisters,
And I love you still.
And I love you still.
I see you lie to your country.
I see you forcing them out.
I see you blaming each other,
And I love you still.
And I love you still.

Haaaaaaaahh
I see you holding your grudges.
I see you gunning them down.
I see you silencing your sisters,
I love you still.
I love you still.
I see you lie to your country.
I see you forcing them out.
I see you blaming each other.
I love you still.
I love you still.
I see you.

Tool - Schism

Schism

I know the pieces fit cuz I watched them fall away
Mildewed and smoldering, fundamental differing,
Pure intention juxtaposed will set two lovers souls in motion
Disintegrating as it goes testing our communication
The light that fueled our fire then has burned a hole between us so
We cannot see to reach an end crippling our communication.

I know the pieces fit cuz I watched them tumble down
No fault, none to blame it doesnt mean I dont desire to
Point the finger, blame the other, watch the temple topple over.
To bring the pieces back together, rediscover communication.

The poetry that comes from the squaring off between,
And the circling is worth it.
Finding beauty in the dissonance.

There was a time that the pieces fit, but I watched them fall away.
Mildewed and smoldering, strangled by our coveting
Ive done the the math enough to know the dangers of a second guessing
Doomed to crumble unless we grow, and strengthen our communication

Cold silence has a tendency to atrophy any sense of compassion

Between supposed lovers
Between supposed lovers.

And I know the pieces fit.

Black then white are all i see in my infancy.
red and yellow then came to be, reaching out to me.
lets me see.
as below, so above and beyond, I imagine
drawn beyond the lines of reason.
Push the envelope. Watch it bend.

Over thinking, over analyzing separates the body from the mind.
Withering my intuition, missing opportunities and I must
Feed my will to feel my moment drawing way outside the lines.

Black then white are all i see in my infancy.
red and yellow then came to be, reaching out to me.
lets me see there is so much more and
beckons me to look thru to these infinite possibilities.
as below, so above and beyond, I imagine
drawn outside the lines of reason.
Push the envelope. Watch it bend.

over thinking, over analyzing separates the body from the mind.
Withering my intuition leaving opportunities behind.
Feed my will to feel this moment urging me to cross the line.
Reaching out to embrace the random.
Reaching out to embrace whatever may come.

I embrace my desire to
I embrace my desire to
feel the rhythm, to feel connected enough to step aside and weep like a widow
to feel inspired to fathom the power, to witness the beauty,
to bathe in the fountain,
to swing on the spiral
to swing on the spiral
to swing on the spiral of our divinity and still be a human.

With my feet upon the ground I move myeslf between the sounds and open wide to suck it in.
I feel it move across my skin.
I'm reaching up and reaching out. I'm reaching for the random or what ever will bewilder me.
what ever will bewilder me.
And following our will and wind we may just go where no one's been.
We'll ride the spiral to the end and may just go where no one's been.
Spiral out. Keep going.
Spiral out. Keep going.
Spiral out. Keep going.
Spiral out. Keep going.
Spiral out. Keep going.

[Anchor]

I danced in the morning when the world was begun
And I danced in the moon and the stars and the sun
I came down from heaven and I danced on the earth
At Bethlehem I had my birth

Dance dance wherever you may be
I am the Lord of the dance said He
And I'll lead you all wherever you may be
And I'll lead you all in the dance said He

I danced for the scribe and the Pharisee
But they would not dance and they wouldn't follow me
I danced for the fishermen for James and John
They came with me and the dance went on

Dance dance wherever you may be
I am the Lord of the dance said He
And I'll lead you all wherever you may be
And I'll lead you all in the dance said He

I danced on the Sabbath and I cured the lame
The holy people said it was a shame
They whipped and they stripped and they hung me high
They left me there on a cross to die

I danced on a Friday when the sky turned black
It's hard to dance with the devil on your back
They buried my body and they thought I'd gone
But I am the Dance and I still go on

Dance dance wherever you may be
I am the Lord of the dance said He
And I'll lead you all wherever you may be
And I'll lead you all in the dance said He

They cut me down but I leapt up high
I am the life that will never never die
I'll live in you if you live in me
I am the Lord of the dance said He

Dance dance wherever you may be
I am the Lord of the dance said He
And I'll lead you all wherever you may be
And I'll lead you all in the dance said He

and now for a song that always spoke very deeply into my soul

Us, and them
And after all we're only ordinary men
Me, and you
God only knows it's not what we would choose to do
"Forward!" he cried, from the rear
And the front rank died
And the general sat, and the lines on the map
Moved from side to side
Black, and blue
And who knows which is which and who is who
Up and Down
And in the end it's only round and round and round
"Haven't you heard it's a battle of words"
The poster bearer cried
"Listen, son," said the man with the gun,
"There's room for you inside"
Down and out
It can't be helped but there's a lot of it about
With, without
And who'll deny it's what the fighting's all about
Out of the way, it's a busy day
I've got things on my mind
For want of the price of tea and a slice
The old man died

[Anchor]

You can run on for a long time
Run on for a long time
Run on for a long time
Sooner or later God'll cut you down
Sooner or later God'll cut you down

Go tell that long tongue liar
Go and tell that midnight rider
Tell the rambler, the gambler, the back biter
Tell 'em that God's gonna cut 'em down
Tell 'em that God's gonna cut 'em down

Well my goodness gracious let me tell you the news
My head's been wet with the midnight dew
I've been down on bended knee talkin' to the man from Galilee
He spoke to me in the voice so sweet
I thought I heard the shuffle of the angel's feet
He called my name and my heart stood still
When he said, "John go do My will!"

Go tell that long tongue liar
Go and tell that midnight rider
Tell the rambler, the gambler, the back biter
Tell 'em that God's gonna cut 'em down
Tell 'em that God's gonna cut 'em down

You can run on for a long time
Run on for a long time
Run on for a long time
Sooner or later God'll cut you down
Sooner or later God'll cut you down

Well you may throw your rock and hide your hand
Workin' in the dark against your fellow man
But as sure as God made black and white
What's down in the dark will be brought to the light

You can run on for a long time
Run on for a long time
Run on for a long time
Sooner or later God'll cut you down
Sooner or later God'll cut you down

Go tell that long tongue liar
Go and tell that midnight rider
Tell the rambler, the gambler, the back biter
Tell 'em that God's gonna cut you down
Tell 'em that God's gonna cut you down
Tell 'em that God's gonna cut you down

I dont know if Johnny Cash wrote this, but he sure sings it well

[Humble Janitor]

Here's my own:

Instinct

As the sky darkens
And the animals scurry
Raindrops begin to fall
People begin to scream

A torrent rushes over
Not a soul has a chance
By pure instinct, they run
Far, far away far, far away

Run for the hills
Run for the woods
Run for cover
Your life depends on it

Gather up your loved ones
It's a whole new world
A whole new paradigm
And we never had a chance

Never had a chance in the old paradigm
Headed towards destruction and the worst possible
But a new hope was dawning
Even as people were running

Bound by love
And a desire to survive
They waded through the debris
And like a phoenix, everyone rose again

As the world came crashing down
And the systems fell into the sea
The power evaporated
And the elite met their destruction

It's a whole new world
If you're still sleeping, this is not a dream
Time to open your eyes, Welcome to reality
Will you be prepared

Because the sky's going to darken
And the rain's going to fall
The day's going to end
And a new one will begin

We can build a new reality
We can break out of this prison
We can re-make the world
We can make it rise out of chaos, filled with love

Eternity's Song

what words doth let my soul my heart to fly
amid the clatter of naysayers doom
amid the clatter of those forgotten
the path of eternity looms

a single step from forever to roam
seeing from the heart and mind
I never forgot the hearts sublime
longing set to the song of rhyme

yet another doom clouds
horizons bleak and bare
for people who travel in song
sweet tendrils of beating care

never shall the tree forget
the song of a travelers sweet caress
melody ringing in eternity's halls
each note rhyming to bless

and so forever more I sing
my melody's beating heart
for within their notes shall ring
love and beauty rhymed in song

-Day

[Northern Boy]

You and I long to live like wind upon the water
If we close our eyes well maybe realize
Theres more to life than what we have known
And I cant believe Ive spent so long
Living lies I knew were wrong inside
Ive just begun to see the light

Long ago there was a dream, had to make a choice or two
Leaving all I loved behind for what nobody knew
Stepped out on the stage
A life under lights and judging eyes
Now the applause has died and I can dream again...

Is there anybody listening?
Is there anyone that sees whats going on?
Read between the lines, criticize the words theyre selling
Think for yourself and feel the walls
Become sand beneath your feet

Fell the breeze?
Times so near you ucan almost taste the freedom
Theres a warm wind from the south
Hoist the sail and well be gone
By morning, this will all seem like a dream
And if I dont return to sing the song, maybe just as well
Ive seen the news and theres not much I can do...alone

Is there anybody listening? g
Is there anyone who smiles without0 a mask?
Whats behind the words-images
They know will please us?
Ill take whats real
Bring up the lights

Is therew anybody listeing?
Is there anyone that sees whats going one?
Read between the lines
Criticize the words theyre selling
Think for yourself and feel the walls
Become sand beneath your feet.

Little Wing is dedicated to Jimi`s mother Lucille, who died when he was young.


LYRICS:

Well she's walking through the clouds
With a circus mind that's running round
Butterflies and zebras
And moonbeams and fairy tales
That's all she ever thinks about
Riding with the wind.

When I'm sad, she comes to me
With a thousand smiles, she gives to me free
It's alright she says it's alright
Take anything you want from me,
anything.

Fly on little wing,
Yeah yeah, yeah, little wing

"Un peu plus loin" by Jean-Pierre Ferland as interpreted by Celine Dion, Ginette Reno and Jean-Pierre Ferland in Quebec in 2008.


Here are the lyrics translated...

UN PEU PLUS LOIN                                   A LITTLE FURTHER

Music and lyrics: Jean-Pierre Ferland, 1969

Un peu plus haut, un peu plus loin                 A little higher, a little further
Je veux aller un peu plus loin                     I want to go a little further
Je veux voir comment c'est là-haut                 I want to see what it's like, up there
Garde mon bras, tiens ma main                      Take my arm and hold my hand

Un peu plus haut, un peu plus loin                 A little higher, a little further
Je veux aller encore plus loin                     I want to go further still
Laisse mon bras mais tiens ma main                 Let go of my arm but keep hold of my hand
Je n'irai pas plus loin qu'il faut                 I won't go any further than is necessary

Encore un pas, encore un saut                      Just another step, another leap
Une tempête et un ruisseau                         A storm, a stream
Prends garde, prends garde, j'ai laissé ta main    Look out! Look out: I let go of your hand
Attends-moi là-bas je reviens                      Wait for me there; I'll come back

Encore un pas, un petit pas                        Another step, a small step
Encore un saut et je suis là                       Another leap and I'm there
Là-haut si je ne tombe pas                         Up there, if I do not fall
Non, j'y suis, je ne tombe pas                     No! I'm here! I will not fall

C'est beau, c'est beau                             It's beautiful! It's beautiful!
Si tu voyais le monde au fond, là-bas              If you could see the world way down there
C'est beau, c'est beau                             It's beautiful! It's beautiful!
La mer plus petite que soi                         The sea is smaller than the self
Mais tu ne me vois pas                             But you do not see me

Un peu plus loin, un peu plus seul                 A little further, a little more alone
Je ne veux pas être loin tout seul                 I don't want to be far away, all alone
Viens voir ici comme on est bien                   Come and see how wonderful it is here
Quand on est haut, comme on est bien               When you're high up, oh! how wonderful it is

Un peu plus haut, un peu plus loin                 A bit higher, a bit further
Je ne peux plus te tenir la main                   I can't hold your hand anymore
Dis-moi comment j'ai pu monter                     Tell me how I was able to climb up here
Comment descendre sans tomber                      How to get back down without falling

Un peu plus loin, un peu plus fort                 A little further, a little stronger
Encore un saut, essaye encore                      Another leap! Try again!
Je voudrais te tendre les bras                     I want to reach my arms out to you
Je suis trop haut, tu es trop bas                  I am too high, you are too low

Encore un pas, un petit pas                        Another step, a little step
Tu es trop loin, je t'aime                         You're too far away! I love you!
Adieu, adieu, je reviendrai                        Farewell! Farewell! I will come back
Si je redescends sans tomber                       If I get back down without falling

C'est beau, c'est beau                             It's beautiful! It's beautiful!
Si tu voyais le monde au fond là-bas               If you could just see the world way down there
C'est beau, c'est beau                             It's beautiful! It's beautiful!
La mer plus petite que soi                         The sea is smaller than the self
Mais tu ne la vois pas                             But you can't see it

Un peu plus haut, un peu plus loin                 A little higher, a little further
Je vais aller encore plus loin                     I want to go further still
Peut-être bien qu'un peu plus haut                 Maybe a bit higher up
Je trouverai d'autres chemins                      I will find another path

FLY LIKE AN EAGLE


Time keeps on slippin', slippin', slippin'
Into the future
Time keeps on slippin', slippin', slippin'
Into the future

I want to fly like an eagle
To the sea
Fly like an eagle
Let my spirit carry me
I want to fly like an eagle
Till I'm free
Oh, Lord, through the revolution

Feed the babies
Who don't have enough to eat
Shoe the children
With no shoes on their feet
House the people
Livin' in the street
Oh, oh, there's a solution

I want to fly like an eagle
To the sea
Fly like an eagle
Let my spirit carry me
I want to fly like an eagle
Till I'm free
Fly through the revolution

Time keeps on slippin', slippin', slippin'
Into the future
Time keeps on slippin', slippin', slippin'
Into the future
Time keeps on slippin', slippin', slippin'
Into the future
Time keeps on slippin', slippin', slippin'
Into the future

I want to fly like an eagle
To the sea
Fly like an eagle
Let my spirit carry me
I want to fly like an eagle
Till I'm free
Fly through the revolution

Time keeps on slippin', slippin', slippin'
Into the future
Time keeps on slippin', slippin', slippin'
Into the future
