Bare Feet

Well I’m walking
Walking in my bare feet
So I don’t hurt myself
I’m treading oh so carefully
Yeah
Keep my knees low and I keep my eyes peeled
And we’re treating each step on the ground with a kiss
Well I’m running
As fast as I make my body go
In horizon
Gets closer as I go
Yeah
Keep my knees low and I keep my eyes peeled
And we’re treating each step on the ground with a kiss

Ocean and Me
04:07
|

Take me to the top of the peak
As I start to fall let me feel it's energy
Let me stroke the wave as I pass by
Let them come crashing down behind my gallant strides
And watch me as I ride
As I soar and glide
Oh I ride this wave and fly
Oh I ride this wave and fly
Let me stand like a lion, let me feel like a king
Even if it's only for some seconds I will cherish them
Let the whole of body feel complete release
Power through the winds I'll give it everything
And watch me as I ride
As I soar and glide
Oh I ride this wave and fly
Oh I ride this wave and fly
Let me stand like a lion, let me feel like a king
Even if it's only for some seconds I will cherish them
Let the whole of body feel complete release
Power through the winds I'll give it everything
Paddle through the force
Paddle through the crowds
Push on through the resistance
Let loose
Let your hair down
This is no place for stiffness

Stars
04:03
|

Look up at the scattered seeds of light
Ever glowing painted in the night
They are reflections of the sun
Bringing illumination
Telling me the stories
Of the ancients far and wide
They float leaving their traces
Across suspended spaces
They keep telling me the stories
Generations in degradation
Across durations
Of history
Fall into the sounds
And go into vibrations
See you’re tuned like a tune
Of a tuning fork
Change your frequency and
It will steer you forth now
Stars across the sky
I feel alive
Stars across the sky
I feel alive
Turn off all the lights and let everybody see
Magic that's everywhere universally
For creation stories burnt in light
Look in the stars at the dark of night
Millions of suns and billions of worlds
Across galaxies spread in spinning swirls
Rotated pulled and bound around
in organised constellations
in organised constellations
Stars across the sky
I feel alive
Stars across the sky
I feel alive
And through angels eyes
I see the sky
Stars across the sky
I feel alive

Don't Need Sleep
03:17

I don’t need no sleep, I’m gunna fight it
I don’t need no sleep, I’m gunna fight it
I am kinda tired, but at the night I run wild
I don’t need no sleep, I’m gunna fight it
I’ll be sitting here, while you are sleeping
I’ll be sitting here, while you are sleeping
Don’t give me no wine, and I’ll be fine
I’ll be sitting here, while you are sleeping
I’ll be standing tall, while you’re all curled in a ball
I’ll be standing tall, while you’re all curled in a ball
And when the morning comes, I cannot function and
You’ll be standing tall, while I'm all curled in a ball

Third Eye

I’m in between 2 trees I sit where they meet
Delicate beauty all around for me to greet
I’ll thank my seat and I will
sing to you with all I know
Of what I know
how I feel and when I grow
I will not give to you a little thing
I’ll give to you ev-everything
Now bring it back to basics strip me down
At last my feet can feel the ground
Face covered in dust knotted hair
With people like this I do not care
I say
Thank you for the memories
Thank you for the energy
Thank you for the fire that you fueled
Burning in my heart
I'm in between 234 isles
Opposite scenes of 5 miles
And it seems to be a whole new world
Shimmering like glowing white pearls
And it speeds you up and slows you down
Spirals round here show me how
The ins and outs and all around
And it speaks to me through with these sounds
I say
Thank you for the memories
Thank you the energy
Thank you for the fire that you fueled
Burning in my heart
Thank you the fire that you fueled
Burning in our heart

Monkey Corner

Look to you from the highest height
Unbind my fear and embrace the light
See through mind for what your eyes can't see
Feel through heart that your mind can't be
And if I open up my mind eye
I can see through the twilight
Beings of frequency
Recognise the light in the inbetween
The feelings of the fire
Give light of the sun
Crumbled ashes into dust
But we are all one

Instincts

Plant your roots and spread your seed
Fill the world with love not greed
What a strange reflection across your face and in your eyes
What a strange thought that you can deliver with surprise
There be monkeys in the corner
Keep a chimney burning for ya
Fill me with your musical spirit
Let me hear it from the soul
Turn into a song that can touch my heart
Make me feel like I belong
Play to me with your music
Play your music oh so loud
Play to me with your music
I can't hear any sounds
Except the sounds of love
That we feel forever
There be monkeys in the corner
Keep a chimney burning for ya
We all have our place now
Round this table we’re sat
The fire sets a blaze
in flumes of ash
I'll just sit here singing my songs
So that you can all keep carrying on
Don’t lose spirit, hold for a hope
Give in to your body, let it flow
Turn it into a song touch my heart
Make me feel like I belong
Play me your music play me your sounds
Let me know where we can be bound
To the sounds of love
That we feel forever
To be true
There be monkeys in the corner
One and all
Keep a chimney burning for ya
To be true
Play me your music play me your sounds
Let me know where we can be bound
To the sounds of love
That we feel forever
There be monkeys in this corner
Keep a chimney burning for ya
Mountain birds sing their song
Singing in celebration
And in their voice I hear a passion
And it will paralyse me where I stand
There be monkeys in the corner
Keep a chimney burning for ya

Wave them around and around

As I end this song with an om

Like the dove learned to fly away
Like the moon shining all it's way down to the Earth
Oh what is it worth?
I'm awaiting your guidance
I'm ready for your lead
Please can you tell me who what where and when to be
Don't think with emotion
Leave the logic out this time
Ride your instincts I will follow you
Through these
Summer sweet melody
We all sing in harmony
Stomp our feet to the sound of the beat
I can''t ignore that
Like a tree struggling for light
Spreading out his leaves
And never giving up the fight
Until he finds what he's been looking for
Like the morning light illuminates the sky
Allowing us once again to use our sight
Open up your eyes and see
Don't think with emotion
Leave the logic out this time
Ride your instincts I will follow you
Through these
Summer sweet melody
We all sing in harmony
Stomp our feet to the sound of the beat
I can't ignore that
Don't think with emotion
Leave the logic out this time
Ride your instincts I will follow you
Through these
Summer sweet melody
We all sing in harmony
Stomp our feet to the sound of the beat
I can't ignore that
