Echoes of The Sea
Now every day I feel much older and my bones ache
The floor is getting harder to fall on, my bones break
And when the wind blows me off my path, I always seem to end up in the river
Flow river flow, show me what you know and take me home...
Now the more you struggle the deeper you sink with the weight that you bare
Give in to the river, this tide of light and breath fresh air
And when the wind blows you off your path you won’t mind if you end up in the river
Flow river flow, show me what you know and take me home...
I fell in love
I fell in love
I fell in love
I fell in love - yes, I did, yes, I did, yes, I did!
Now on the banks we dry our clothes in golden sun
We sit there naked, naked as the day we were born
I held my hand out to a man who lived in a shell
But I’m invisible to him as he’s invisible to himself
And the echoes of the sea won’t set him free
No, the echoes of the sea won’t set him free.

St Ives

St Ives
I’ll send you a postcard of old St Ives
There are pictures of pilchards and mackerel skies
Cats on the cobble stones save the nets from the mice
Herrings on the washing lines being hung out to dry -
But wait, there’s a change in the air
Pull down the hatches, there’s a storm beyond the pier
I’ll send you a postcard of old St Ives
There are pictures of sailors, their children and their wives
Down-long be fishing lines and up-long be mines
United by receded tides, where treasures you will find
But wait, there’s a change in the air
Fold up the deck chairs for the tide is coming in
I’ll send you a post card of old St Ives
The beaches of Porthmeor or the harbour at night
The Chapel of St Nicholas: a house of light
Cast shadows on the heavens where the seagulls cry
But wait, there’s a change in the air
There’s a graveyard above us we’re being watched by the dead

What You Know

What You Know
What you know, 7.8 billion people calling earth their home
What you don’t who and why, exactly where do we all come from
We speculate, and sometimes visionaries try their best to explain
But they hesitate when they realise the limitations of our brains
To see beyond a limitless space
What you know, that Jesus was a holy man who claimed to be the son of God
What you don’t, if does exist a spirit far superior than us
Oh my word, is it intellectual poverty that keeps us in the dark
And oh my God, does it take a spiritual leap of faith to get your soul across
To the light of the universe

Be The One

Be The One
There’s so much confusion going on
Our streams of information are breaking up
Our politicians are obviously corrupt
The expectation for us is to suck it up!
What’s the use of keeping your eyes closed?
That apathy is poisoning your bones
That privilege has got you by the throat
You’re worried that you don’t wanna rock the boat
Be The One - release them from their fear of the darkness
Be The One - and have them cultivate kindness in others
Be The One - give them strength and give them courage
Be The One - open their minds and let them…
There’s so much for us to be scared of
The system is run by people who don’t give a fuck
Our planet screams in pain she’s had enough
No one else but you gonna clean it up
Be The One - release them from there own self importance
Be The One - and have them serve the interest of others
Be The One - give them vision give them promise
Be The One - open their eyes and let them…
Be The One - release them from the chains of their destiny
Be The One - and have them alert and at the ready
Be The one - give them hope and give them love
Be The One - open their hearts and let them…

Unspoken Heroes

Unspoken Heroes
Stanislav Petrov, hey you saved the world
from a military base just outside Moscow
The sirens were shrieking but you kept your calm
The gamble paid off - it was a false alarm
Yeah, you paused to question that satellite’s detection
of a nuclear bomb fired high in your General’s direction
Had you gone by the book, then the world would have blown up, if not for you:
The Unspoken Hero
Norman Borlaug, hey you saved the world
from famine and starvation when the crops failed to yield
You revolutionised farming and the seeds that they sow
Gave tools to the poorest,let them grow their own
Yeah, you had the mind to make it right and save the fate of all mankind
and liberate the starving populations
Had your studies you flunked, then the world may have well shrunk. If not for you:
The Unspoken Hero
Henrietta Lacks, hey you saved the world
with your cancerous growth and extraordinary cells
That were made into vaccines and a handful of cures
At least not to mention, for Pollio
Yeah, a mother of five you struggled but died but what you left behind was a wonder of modern day medicine
Though you were not aware of this miracle of birth, when they laid you to rest:
The Unspoken Hero
There are heroes amongst us in our cities and towns,
like rays of sunlight they shine out from the clouds
They were born with a calling, superhuman at heart,
When faced with disaster, triumphant they are
And if it weren’t for them, the world would end, there’d be
nothing left for you or I to hold on to
And it goes to show we’re not alone when surrounded by:
The Unspoken Hero

Aphrodite

Aphrodite
Many men say that the lord God he made
A woman from the rib of a man
And there she slaved from the cradle to the grave
A servant to the ego of man - and she said, No
Aphrodite, once a warrior deity
Reconceived through the loins of a man
A protector of life, now an object of desire
A commodity that shapeth did man - and she said, No
Harvey Weinstein lived the American dream
So he did whatever he pleased
2017, he was brought to his knees
By the woman he raped and deceived - and she said, No
The president of the United States
Was a bigot and a misogynist
I’m not even sure who he was fighting for
But he was treating the woman like shit and piss - and she said, No
Many men say that to self-mutilate
Is the only way to reconcile change?
You stifle debate rather than liberate
The woman from her shackles and chains -and she said, No
Patriarchy is a human disease
It’s ostentatious, infectious and wild
What we don’t need in our society
Is the circus being run by the clowns - and she said, No

Get It Out

Get It Out
In the shadow of the night
Imaginations run wild
And you as you get nearer
They send a shiver down your spine
And like the moment before you die
You are drawn towards the light
And you as you get nearer
You feel your insides pulled out
Come and put your feet under my table
And share the burden that you hold so tight
Does the terror fill you heart with wonder
If so then won’t you please let me get it out
Within the mirror of your gaze
You watch your face mutate
And you as you get nearer
You disappear without trace
Down the rivers of your dreams
Where your sub-conscience lives
And you as you get nearer
Your fail to get a hold of it

God Be With You
Goodbye the song that greets the morning
Goodbye the promises of Spring
Goodbye the sanctuary of the oceans
Goodbye the whisper of the trees
Goodbye the apples in the orchards
Goodbye spider’s silk and thread
Goodbye the poppies and the orchids
Goodbye the robin and the wren
Goodbye the marshland and the meadows
The critters and the wondrous butterfly
Goodbye the starlings and the sparrows
Your mocking words and your lullabies
So I pray for the day: in the most natural way
Goodbye the seahorse and the cuttlefish
Goodbye salamander and toad
Goodbye the squirrel and the beaver
Goodbye your tunnels and burrows
Goodbye the worm that churns the graveyard
Goodbye the compost and decay
Goodbye the communion of rebirth
Goodbye the nutrients she craves
So I pray for the day: in the most natural way
Goodbye the orca and the narwhal
Goodbye the polar bear
Goodbye the cuckoo and the eagle
Goodbye the tortoise and the hare
Goodbye the coral and sea urchins
Goodbye the algae on the wave
Good bye the creatures of the darkness
Goodbye nature’s mysterious way
So I pray for the day: in the most natural way

Last Song
This might be the last song I ever write
Might be the last song I sing
This might be the last road that I walk
Might be my last morning
So I’m counting up my blessings
Appreciate everything that I got
This might be my last song
These might be the last words I ever write
About this old heart ache
This might be the last moment I take
My foot off the breaks
So today is gonna be my birthday
Like it’s the first day of the rest of my life
This might be my last song
This might be the last song I ever write
Might be the last song I sing
This might be the last candle I light
Might be my last evening
So I’m counting up my blessings
Appreciate everything that I got
This might be my last song
