Chorus: Some might say, that we can become one day, humanity’s drum let’s play, The Rhythm of US Verse 1: Oh lady (liberty), I want to see you rise. Become more, for all those who don’t belong, for all those who have come and gone. Unrequited love to our home, can we say how many of us rest with stone? Feel around, in a world that’s filled with life and breath we rise up to the sound, the sound of music, because we’re human and we have love. Chorus: Some might say that we can become one day, humanity’s drum lets play, The Rhythm of US Verse 2: Oh no, there’s gotta be someone, who wants more, 'I need more, I got more, I want yours’. Then someone plants a seed, just in time, with grassroots our movement starts to rise. Spoken Word: Like the sun in the desert Like yeast in a bowl Like an ember in a fire Like the Andes of Peru Like the Redwoods down in Humboldt Like the great tides of the sea Rise up Rise free Chorus: Some might say that we can become one day, humanity’s drum let’s play, The Rhythm of US
2.	Don't Fall In 03:17	lyrics	buy track
Verse 1: Don't fall in to the way that this world wants you to go. Don't pretend to look a certain kind of way when you know that you're beautiful. Just look at ourselves, I'm ashamed of the way that we've came to be. It's gonna be a long way down if we don't love unconditionally. Chorus: We gotta stop, turn around, come down, from this place. We are lost, can you see? Are we here? Can you breathe? (baby) Verse 2: It's so strange how our lives can be oh so difficult, we all run from our lives from the pain thats in the soul. Just look at ourselves I'm ashamed of the way that we've came to be. It's gonna be a long way down if we don't love unconditionally. Chorus: We gotta stop, turn around, come down, from this place. We are lost. Can you see? Are we here? Can you breathe? We gotta stop, turn around, come down from this place, (we need to, we need to, we need to stop and come down).

5.	Signs 04:24	lyrics	buy track
Verse 1: This was a sign of a new kind, a media version of a lifetime. I was your servant cuz you need me, all I ever wanted was to be free. I tried my best to walk a straight line, something inside me kept me wanting more. Felt I was dying on the inside, now I'm much better than I was before. Verse 2: It's hard to believe in intuition, take focus in heart make a decision. I'll tell you a story how i got free, I'll tell you a story that you wont believe. First you've gotta get yourself down, you're up in a branch i see you hanging there. Humanity don't be such a let down, make me believe that we can really care. Chorus: I see hope in you and me. We (yeah) we, we can make it; you and me (yeah). Post Bridge: I see hope in you and me I see hope in you and me You and me.
6.	Keep It In My Pocket 04:15	lyrics	buy track
Pre Verse: (ooh) Keep it in my pocket Verse 1: Sometimes life can get ya down, it's so hard when you can't find no friends around (baby). Oh your wise words got me through this whole day, the only problem is I can't fit em all inside my brain (just way, way, way, way, way, way too many). Chorus: I keep it in my pocket I keep it in my pocket (Every sing day I) I keep it in my pocket I keep it in my pocket Oh the pain! Said it hurts right to the ground. I need some relief, I need it right now! My friend, he opened up his hand and he said, "do what you will with this herb but use it and you'll understand... why". Chorus: I keep it in my pocket I keep it in my pocket (Every sing day I) I keep it in my pocket I keep it in my pocket
7.	On Top Of The Hill 04:18	lyrics	buy track
Verse 1: I went there today, on top of the hill to find you, but I lost my way. And now I'm afraid that you would never want to be with me just because I never seem to be close to home. Chorus: You. I'll never be, ever be over you. I'll never be over you. Verse 2: I went there to say that I am afraid of closure and I know that it's wrong. And now I'm afraid that you would never want to be with me just because I never seem to be close to your home. Chorus: You, I'll never be, ever be over you. I'll never be over you.
8.	Waves 03:34	lyrics	buy track
Verse 1: I've got a long long long ways to go. Man I surely hope the lord can save my soul. I have been baptized in a sea of emptiness and the waves are crashing in. Verse 2: When I started all the undone expectations in my mind is when I found that I've been wasting all my energy and time; chasing things that clearly don't belong at all inside my life... Man, it's hard to cry when you've been baptized in a sea of emptiness and the waves are crashing in. Oh lord they're crashing in, they're crashing in, oh they're crashing in. Bridge: Greed, money, society, a sea of emptiness. Hunger, homelessness, technology used as fancy gifts, a sea of emptiness... And the waves are crashing, they're crashing down, crashing down. Verse 3: Who am I to question the status quo, I say I want change but when a man asks me for some I say no. I hope we understand that our days in the sun are like an hour glass with sand, it might break. Don't you wait to start walking cuz you've got many miles to go. Man, I hope the lord can save my soul cuz I've been baptized in a sea of emptiness and the waves are crashing in.
9.	I don't Wanna Sing 04:46	lyrics	buy track
Chorus 1: Baby I don't wanna sing if I can't ever be your man. Baby you mean everything, is there a way that I can make you understand? Baby don't go, we'll take it slow, anything you wanna know. Baby, I'm into you. Baby tell me what to do. Baby tell me, what to do. I don't wanna sing. Chorus 2: Baby I don't wanna sing if I can't ever be your man. Baby you mean everything, is there a way that I can make you understand? Oh, don't go we'll take it slow, anything you wanna know. Baby, I'm into you. Can you tell me what to do? Baby tell me what to do, I just wanna know. Bridge: Days come and go the world spins around. A love like yours I've not found. I wanted to believe that everything would be the same (after you left me baby). But since my baby's gone I can't sing. Sing, I don't wanna sing, I don't wanna sing baby. Chorus 3: Baby I don't wanna sing if I can't ever be your man. Baby you mean everything, is there a way that I can make you understand?
