Your Side 05:41
Your Side Know that I will stand by your side, through all the pain and suffering. Know that I will stand by your side, through all those things you’re taught to hide. You don’t have to stand up and face it alone, so stand up we’ll face it. You don’t have to stand up and face it alone, so stand up we’ll face it. It’s pitiful people won’t show their best when it’s critical, how often people fail when it’s pivotal, sometimes I don’t want to even live at all. I need to take a breath. Take a second, do a mental check in, accountable for everything I let in. Sometimes it can get upsetting, but, I’m not letting up. I will keep my third eye on the prize, I will laugh a little more than I cry. Path is steep, so one step at a time. Community is in need so I will Stand by your side, through all the pain and suffering. Know that I will stand by your side, through all those things you’re taught to hide. Know that I will stand by your side, through all the pain and suffering. Know that I will stand by your side, through all the things you’re taught to hide. You don’t have to stand up and face it alone, so stand up we’ll face it. You don’t have to stand up and face it alone, so stand up we’ll face it. Evil corporations holding back all the patents, people are scraping as their profit keep stacking. There’s no more patience, other countries are lacking. System will break and it’s their codes that we’re cracking. So I give my all with every single thing I am. Rise and fall, I’m the lion and the lamb. Seen enough to know that I haven’t seen it all. So I tune into all the love that I have, send it down as I walk upon the land. Ego telling me I’m just a grain of sand, but, the world feels like it’s in the palm of my hands. This life is not a curse, ask for help when it really hurts. Ignorance makes it worse, take my hand and know I will stand by your side, through all the pain and suffering. Know that I will stand by your side, through all those things you’re taught to hide. Know that I will stand by your side, through all the pain and suffering. Know that I will stand by your side, through all those things you’re taught to hide. You don’t have to stand up and face it alone, so stand up we’ll face it. You don’t have to stand up and face it alone, so stand up we’ll face it. Whenever you call me I’ll be there. Whenever you need me I’ll be there. Whenever you call me I’ll be there. Whenever you need me I’ll be there. Whenever you call me I’ll be there. Whenever you need me I’ll be there. Whenever you call me I’ll be there. Whenever you need me I’ll be there.

Breath 04:00
Breath Take a deep breath right where you stand, take a look around. Look around. Take a deep breath right where you stand, take a look around. Hold up, I’ve been lying to myself, compromising my health, denying feelings I felt. Complaining ‘bout ways that I’ve been holding out, didn’t lay ‘em down, had doubts about the cards that I’ve been dealt. Got to help myself, I breath When I’m feeling hopeless, I need to focus, I breath, Fell like I’m in hell, I take a deep inhale, I breath, When I’m feeling hopeless, I need to focus, I breath, Feel like I’m in hell, I take a deep inhale Take a deep breath right where you stand, take a look around. Take a deep breath right where you stand, take a look around. Take a deep breath right where you stand, take a look around. Look around. Ooooohhhhhhhhhh…. Great Spirit, hear this I’m calling you now. Great Spirit, hear this I’m calling you now. Great Spirit, hear this I’m calling you, calling you. I’m calling you, calling you. Reverence for this beauty of life breathing through me. Reverence for this beauty of life breathing through me. Reverence for the beauty I see, life is always breathing through me. Reverence for the beauty I see, life is always breathing through me. Breath through me.

Remember 02:51
Remember Guide me to the stars, they don’t seem so far, Whoa oh oh oh oh oh That’s where we remember what we are, Who we are. Remember who you are, remember who you are, Who you are, Remember who we are, remember who we are, Remember who you are, remember who you are. Oh oh oh ohhh ohhh ohhh oh oh Oh oh oh ohhh ohhh ohhh oh oh Remember who you are Remember who you are

Shedding Skin Shedding skin, letting go, Shedding skin, shedding my skin, shedding my skin, Letting go of all that no longer serves me anymore. Burn it up inside the fire, Purify it in the water, Breath deep into your center, Feet grounded upon the Earth. Remember everyone that hurt you, Recognize that they were hurting too. ‘Cause when you did a little deeper, You will find that they’re a part of you. Layers of me get peeled away, I am reborn with every word I say, I hold no grudge, I’m full of forgiveness, I stay on task, this love is my business. But there are times we all need assistance, and there are times when we just need persistence. More often than not success is just one step further than all of our resistance. Everybody can ask for help, sometimes you got to just do it yourself, Got to make sense of this mess, So I call upon the elements. Burn it up inside the fire, Purify it in the water, Breath deep into your center, Feet grounded upon the Earth. Remember everyone that hurt you, Recognize that they were hurting too. ‘Cause when you did a little deeper, You will find that they’re a part of you. Shedding my skin, shedding my skin, Oh oohhhhhhhh Let it all go, let it all go, Oh oohhhhhhhh Shedding my skin, shedding my skin.

Move As One 04:49
Move As one Together we move as one, One people, Together we move as one, One tribe, Together we move as one , One people, one tribe, One people, we unite, One people, whoa, Move in towards the light, Move in towards the light inside. I don’t know how to stop it, toxins pour from almost every faucet, And it’s constant, I feel overwhelmed and helpless. Why uphold a system that’s selfish? We poison the land with demands of consumption, We keep the manufacturing plants in production, With useless textiles. Why do some of us act like ruthless reptiles? So, what if all of the people who stood on the fences broke out of their trances and took a stand with their feet firmly planted, We’re no longer taking this planet for granted. Seems we need a system cleanse, I won’t pretend it doesn’t seem lofty, We’re getting closer to the edge, if we do nothing it’s sure to be costly. I do believe that there’s plenty to feed all the people, Scarcity is an illusion. I do believe that there’s plenty to feed all the people, Scarcity is an illusion. I do believe that there’s plenty to feed all the people, Scarcity is an illusion. I do believe that there’s plenty, plenty, plenty… Together we move as one, One people, Together we move as one, One tribe, Together we move as one , One people, one tribe, One people, we unite, One people, whoa, Move in towards the light, Move in towards the light inside. Are these war mongers justified to mislead, Since people have become so easy to deceive? Obsession with things, artificial coloring, A doctor a day keeps the apples away. We got farmers spraying poisons donning hazmat suits, Don’t believe me, I’ll direct you to some documented proof. There is chronic sonic warfare while the future pleads, Will you hopelessly cower or bravely take the lead? Lattice skies choke us. Chems mess with your focus. Plastic bottles, silicone chest, I’m told I’m not to bare my breasts. A slow, drawn out and painful death, and Who is left to clean the mess? This is hard to conceive, but the question is not if, It’s just how deep. Will a toxic wasteland be all that we leave? Is this the legacy of our great humanity? At least they let us believe that we were actually free While we got sold on a lie just to satisfy their greed. Together we move as one, One people, Together we move as one, One tribe, Together we move as one , One people, one tribe, One people, we unite, One people, whoa, Move in towards the light, Move in towards the light inside.

Spirit Guide I will not follow you, na na na na na, to thine own self be true. I will not follow you, to thine own self be true, I will not follow you, to thine own self be true, I will not follow you, to thine own self be true, I will not follow you, to thine own self be true, Na na na na na Living the life I want to live, Creating every moment, Choosing a life full of blessings, Living the life I want to live. I will not follow you to your shallows, I will not follow you to your depths. My heart it beckons me to surrender, My heart it beckons me to my own path. I will not follow you to your shallows, I will not follow you to your depths. My heart it beckons me to surrender, I will just follow, Spirit will guide me there, Spirit will guide me there. To my new self from my old ways With a true breath, plus two steps, to get you to where I can see you best. The whole page of the story. Loosen the tight grip for more light, no eclipse, And highlight our sequence, from the deepest depths I’ll rescue, And let you live as best you can, Just know I’ll be where you stand, Rooted like an oak tree and I’ll extend my limbs. It’s just a message to send around yourself and back again, around a strike your light to bend, in a time with no end. Each present moment passes, I can tap into how I’m feeling, Watch my shadow dance around me like a sundial standing still. Let your spirit roam, so you can go into the wilderness and be one with yourself, and then rebuild like a pyramid. And if I follow guidance from you, just know I’ll be right beside you.
