NOT IN THE FIRE
all those who believe rise up rise up
all those who feel the grief rise up rise up
all those who believe rise up rise up
all those who feel the grief rise up rise up
not in the fire not in the flame
not in the strong wind or hurricane
somewhere in the stillness a voice in the wilderness
not in the fire not in the flame
in halls of power or hurricanes
(C) Verra Cruz 2008

Freedom

FREEDOM
freedom freedom smells like greed i'm tired please
believe no hatred in my being but i'm wired for release
freedom like a dream softly sings to me
of falling behind the beat of dancing to appease
i lift my hands to the sky these burning questions why
the whole world full up on lies
the whole world aflame for freedom
in the blinking of an eye comes the turning of the tide like the
rising of the dawn the thief comes along
the world plays its game the thief knows your name

FRIEND TO YOU
you are the fire bright like the dawn
you give me strength pick me up when i fall
if it seems good let it come take it all and wash over me
wash over me and i'll be a friend to you
i'll lay you down with a soul pure of heart
resting ourselves beneath the spirit of love
we'll shine a light for the broken and lost
you'll be the only one you'll be the only one
and i'll be a friend to you if you'll be wholly true
i'll be yours alone
i see your eyes i see your smile
theres life in you
and i'll be a friend to you
i'm holding tight cause the world has died
there's life in you my heart is full i'm in love with
you there's life in you

INNOCENCE
come down throw your love around
here i'm found as we walk through shadow lands
stretch out your hands girl take these broken wings in a
world so full of pain you're giving everything
feels like innocence just like innocence rest your eyes
from punching holes into the night till the sky is
so full of holes the heavens shining bright beauty
kindness and love beauty kindness and love is all
that your taking i see kindness and love beauty
kindness and love is all that your making come down
we'll burn this world to the ground in a world so
full of shame thank heavens you're around

She Don't Want Him
03:39
|

SHE DON'T WANT HIM
she walks alone beneath the stars that call out her name
and thinks there must be more to love
than holding on for broken dreams
she forms the words inside her mind
says she'll be cruel to be kind
draws her pen just like a sword
she don't want him she don't need him
she wants something different than him
he walks alone at night
down darkened streets where ragged people go
he'd dreamed of love that stayed
not dependent upon the conscious flow
the words race round and round his brain
wonders if he'll love again
crunches a photo in his palm
he cries like a fool in a song
cause he can't find the will to carry on
the tears stream down his face like wine
he can't handle what's inside
swallows down the bitter cup
she's the fire that burns his soul

How Long For This World

HOW LONG FOR THIS WORLD
she calls in the road
wonders where the goodness goes
she's timeless like a rose
she glides she flows
she's a secret to be found
screaming out she makes no sound
and you may not listen to her now
but sooner or later she'll cut you down
how long for this world?
from a tiny seed she grows
shinier than silver and gold
so desperate to be known
she aches she groans
she's the whisper of the brave
song of songs and the love you made
and the voice that shakes the ground
screaming out she make no sound
how long for this world?
let the seeker find

GRACE
help me out i'm sinking it's a cold cold night
it's a bitter cup that i'm drinking down to the very last
help me find the door hold me when i'm feeling low
it's a long road when you're already crawling
all that she gives is her kindness to my loneliness
all that she takes is the bitterness of my regrets
her name is grace
help me out i'm blinking it's a black and grey world
like a drowning man i'm longing just
to get a breath of her
she helps me find the dawn
she holds me when i feel alone
she's a precious seed and
she's growing over me

One

ONE
cut my hair today took off my clothes
jumped into the river so cold it made me shiver
did you ever love a woman so much it makes you weep
did you ever see the morning sun wake you from your sleep
and all of these feelings all of these longings
they bind us together they bind us together as one
if you cut yourself today i think you will bleed
tell me what colour tell me what creed
did you ever feel a small hand wrap around your finger
been touched by madness and the questions that linger
and all of these feelings all of these longings
they bind us together they bind us together as one
heaven arrives as the stars shine
see the full moon on every side
we are alive this is our time
you can see it look into my eyes
we are one
