Modern Light Lyrics

70 x 7

Moving thru the moment the best that I can          
Filled up with words as tho I understand

Every city has puddles in the streets
Everyone has screamed when they could sing (yeah)  

Chorus:
I don’t want to disappoint you                    
I don’t want to let you down
Whatever I don’t live up to
Ill make amends and try again
And try again 70 x 7

Moving thru emotions whatever surfaces
Learning what’s mine to feel and transform it

Every community is broken by screens
All the harm from trauma not healing (oh)

Chorus

Bridge   

Chorus
Ill try again and try again and try again and try again
Ill make amends and try again and try again
Ill make amends & try again & try again & try again 70 x 7

Moving thru the moment the best that I can got an
Open heart in an imperfect man

 

Basics

When I was younger  I was taught how to read                                         
Told to be kind to strangers and not give into greed                              
Sharing was caring and facts were real and worth hearing     

When the internet came into being
They said don’t believe all you read
Since they seem to have forgotten a few important talkings they gave us
(heres a reminder)

Chorus:
Fuck nazis and fascists                                        
And white christian nationalists                               
Fuck billionaires and rapists
And homophobic legislatures
Lets get back to basics                                         
People over profits
Love everybody                                                           
And fuck fascists and nazis                                          

Jesus said love your neighbor
You said follow Him cuz He’s the Savior
Kindness is always a choice and the size of your heart
Equals the size of your life

I took these lessons in as they all made sense
Tho I guess I didn’t realize that the people who lived these ideals
Died by the hands of those whose words are always meaningless

Chorus

You say how can I criticize                                                
And still see thru loving eyes                                            
Well who is a person is and how they behave is different     
After all that I say                                                                                             
I allow that people can change their ways  (So let’s sing together)   

Chorus (2x)

 

Cryptid

I been looking so long for ya                                 
I been living in a daze
I been sleeping outside all night
Waiting on the moon to light my way

Chorus:
We’re walking shoulder to shoulder           
My heart is making ground
Truth’s in the eye of the beholder
Reality is more profound profound              
I get around (4x)

In the foggy dusky wilds
My breath catches on every sound
I know there’s nothing closer
One day I’ll see all that surrounds

Chorus

No matter how hard to handle                                        
In all time and space                                                             
Wearing out boots and rambles
Until we’re face to face to face to face to face to face to face to face to face

(I get around)

Chorus
We’re walking shoulder to shoulder
Footprints in the ground
My heart is growing golder
Reality is more profound profound

I get around (4x) …

 

Geodes 

We can crack wide open                               
Still show the world how we shine                  
We can from dark to glowing
Even in chaotic times                                    

Chorus:
We can dance with the whole world baby         
We got a song we got a light                             
Woah – we’re one world tonight

We can crack wide open
Let out the love we have inside
I got this deep knowing
We don’t need to let our best parts hide

Chorus / Woah – we’re one world tonight (2x)

I can see it in a different way                                       
No need to make the world feel your pain                    
We can get up and out of the way                               
Give the heart a chance to show us how to play          

We can make it a whole different day
No need to give our power away
We can live into the peace we say
Give the heart a chance to lean into the play

(Ooo)

Chorus
Woah – one world tonight
One world tonight (4x)

 

Growing Elder

Chorus:
Im not growing older                                               
I grow younger
I go deeper
Growing elder                                                              

Bodies change belly’s change                            
So much more I can now hold                            
Learning to dance with my fire                            
My hands are becoming much more than my own
Fathers wrinkle mothers laugh this grey reminds life isn’t
White and black

Older is a myth          Growing whole                                         
I get more                    Then I ever thought Id know             
Skin and bones            Soul and song
Breath’s never born    Melody’s never gone                        

Chorus                                                             Growing elder

Bodies change dreams change
So much more I can now show
Learning to dance in my fire
My voice is becoming more than my own
The words I use are flowing thru Im tuning to
The ancestral choir

Pre Chorus

Chorus

Im not growing older                                                                                     
My soul is a chord   im just learning to play – dig deeper        
Sing together                                                                                                      
This heart knows no age   nothing but play – dig deeper
Dig deeper  dig deeper                                                                     

Chorus

 

Lala Land

Somedays I am living modern light      light                                      
Somedays I am living modern light      light
Somedays I am giving all that’s bright            bright

Every nights a living dream            Everydays another thing
We got all these feelings designed to let show

Everydays a clean slate                   Live Love and consecrate
You my dear hold the key to any dream that peace has ever known

Chorus:
We got to give our heart a place                     tell me why not you
We got to give our heart a place                     nowhere better than you

Somedays I am living modern light      light
Somedays I am giving all that’s bright            bright

Every nights a living dream            Everydays another thing
We got all these feelings designed to let show

Everydays a clean slate                   Live Love and consecrate
You my dear hold the key to any dream that peace has ever known

We got to give our heart a place                     tell me why not you
We got to give our heart a place                     nowhere better than you

// You can sit in all the golden light
But how will you show up tonight
Will you bring water to the firefight
You can sit behind the door
But your heart and hands need to pour
All the water that you can into the war  ://

Chorus       //        We got to give our heart a place

Somedays I am living modern light light       (2x)                light light



Hands in the Cold

You many never know the feelings as they break           into your heart               
You may think you’ll never find the strength to say       help me hold this     
                     know youre not on your own
The wise    know many hands build home                                                                

Chorus:
Oh oh ah   Our hearts can hold
Oh oh ah   More than we know
Oh oh ah   Our hearts can hold
Oh oh ah   hands in the cold

You can break into a million pieces here     on your kitchen table
There’s never too many cracks to mend      with time and music
I                       know the river’s running
The wise    are right here with you rowing

Oh oh ah   Our hearts can hold
Oh oh ah   More than we know
Oh oh ah   Our hearts can hold
Oh oh ah   hands in the cold

Bridge (Ahhhhs)                                                                                                

Oh oh ah   Our hearts can hold                                                 
Oh oh ah   More than we know                                                              
Oh oh ah   Our hearts can hold
Oh oh ah   hands in the cold

Oh oh ah hands in the cold (4x)

 

 

At Last … Another’s Heartbeat   (by Macellus Williams & Ganavya)

Chorus:
There is so much beauty and comfort                               
In being in love and just being                                     

The silhouettes of their bond visible still
At the last glow of the sun
They experience each other and the life
Of the night as it begins to stir
Standing there in silence holding hands
No rush to go back inside

No rush to go back inside

Chorus

How strange it is to become aware of another’s heartbeat
But forget one’s own
finally love
finally love finally 

Love

Chorus

 

Wonder Full

You tell yourself so many stories                   
That keep you from looking around                
You tell yourself you gotta keep running         
But for what you want you’ve gotta slow down

Chorus:
Sit in the wonder …                                     

You tell yourself you’re on your own
You have to make your own way
Well there’s no such thing as alone
All of life breathes and plays

Sit in the wonder …

Nothings gonna change if you don’t change                 
Time to rearrange how your brain frames                    
Nothing makes you strain like staying the same           
In a world of never ending play                                    

Nothings gonna change if you don’t change   
Time to rearrange how your brain frames
Nothing makes you strain like staying the same
In a world of never ending play                      

Sit in the wonder …

Oh oh oh
Hey ay ay ay!

 

 

 

Mercy Street     (Peter Gabriel)

Looking down on empty streets                     All she can see                              
Are the dreams all made solid            Are the dreams made real        

All of the buildings                                  All of the cars
Were once just a dream            In somebody's head

She pictures the broken glass Pictures the steam
She pictures a soul                                 With no leak at the seam

Let's take the boat out   Wait until darkness                                             
Let's take the boat out   Wait until darkness comes

Nowhere in the corridors                      Of pale green and gray
Nowhere in the suburbs            In the cold light of day

There in the midst of it               So alive and alone
Words support like bone                                                                                              

Chorus:
Dreaming of Mercy Street                                                      
Where you're inside out                                                          
Dreaming of mercy                                                                    
In your daddy's arms again                                                   

Dreaming of Mercy Street
I swear they moved that sign
Dreaming of mercy
In your daddy's arms                                                                

Pulling out the papers                            From the drawers that slide smooth
Tugging at the darkness                         Word upon word

Confessing all the secret things                    In the warm velvet box
To the priest, he's the doctor               He can handle the shocks

Dreaming of the tenderness    The tremble in the hips
Of kissing Mary's lips

Chorus

Mercy, mercy                                                       
Looking for Mercy Street                                
Looking for mercy                                              

Anne, with her father      Is out in the boat
Riding the water   Riding the waves on the sea

    

Snacks for the Apocalypse

Dropping bombs cuz the rich want more                                         
We’ve given the insane the weapons of war
Im so tired of crying                                                                                       
This isn’t the world I believe in
The sound of my stomach healing                                                       
Staying warm at night is a constant challenge
The rain washes out our bridge                                                              
There’s a man outside selling snacks for the apocalypse

Taking away our humanity
Cuz the richest men say nothing should be free
Im so tired of trying
Everyone I know is just barely surviving
The crows are picking thru the trash
Life can change in a flash
Fires don’t skip conservatives
And theres buy one get one snacks for the apocalypse

Yeah                                                                                                                                    

They’re raising crosses against the meek and the poor
And everyone else better learn how they want you to whore
Im gonna get up again
No one can keep down me & my friends
Another forest is raised to the ground
The fear in her eyes is so goddamned loud
When the crops wont grow will our tastes get rich
Look there goes a snack for the apocalypse

Yeah                                                                                                                                    

Dr King warned us of this                                                    
Will we take bullets over a kiss 
In oil we trust drowning with bruised fists               
It’s the final call on snacks for the apocalypse

Yeah
