in all sunsets over the closing flowers are many different dreams about to begin in a shut of an eye life becomes what i feel and i never think of tomorrow until it arrives i'm dreaming of my own bohemian dream the crash of the waves against a distant shore is a calling that echoes past the conscious mind the poetry i've read showed me the way to and the music i heard made me believe that i could be living my own bohemian dream too many people believe in only what they see i'm on a quest for an answer to all the unknown the universe holds so many questions and i'm looking for it to guide me while i'm on earth as i take the first steps toward my bohemian dream sleeping under the stars carries a charm listening to the birds in the trees so free having no fixed abode is truly free although you can't ignore callings of the heart i'd love to find love and share my bohemian dream

sunshine dreamer, sunshine dreamer give me some of the sun sunshine dreamer, sunshine dreamer give me some of your love i heard about you living on the hill keeping the sun on your windowsill sunshine dreamer, sunshine dreamer break the clouds for me sunshine dreamer, sunshine dreamer shine your light on me i heard the town clock strike now is the hour put the sun is the sky sunshine dreamer, sunshine dreamer give me some of the sun sunshine dreamer, sunshine dreamer give me some of your love now the suns in the sky way on high the world can now dance along to your dreams sunshine dreamer, sunshine dreamer sunshine dreamer, sunshine dreamer sunshine dreamer

the days are rolling on time keeps ticking on all seems never-ending and we pay no attention to the end the river will endlessly flow the stars will always shine tomorrow will always be even if we never see the reason we are it just rolls on it just rolls on and on it just rolls on it just rolls on and on and when we are gone the earth we stood upon will keep going round the sun life will carry on the universe rolls along are we reborn? do we live endlessly on? no matter what is so life will always flow in and out of us it just rolls on it just rolls on and on it just rolls on it just rolls on and on

Take It Slow 02:30
the world is moving to quick for me why's everyone in a hurry let all come naturally take it slow i heard a song on the radio from a band that i follow the message was simple and it said "slow down word" rain will fall and sun will shine on this little planet so fine stop every now and then and take it in take it slow you're only young and your path isn't set take it easy, think of your steps don't get pushed into the daily grind take it slow people seem in a hurry to grow get a loan, work to the bone but i don't even think of growing old i take it slow i don't mind working for my pay but there's more to life than money i'm out to enjoy everyday i can take it slow so if your life is getting you down maybe your head is on upside-down take a walk to sort it out take it slow we can't stop the years going by but we choose how we live our lives the plan is quite simple to follow take it slow take it slow

And I Sang 03:23
as i woke from my bed tired and sleepy i saw a whole new day starring back at me so i just had to head outside enjoying another day and feel alive i got to the beach on the edge of the land the sun was shinning as i touched the sand i was happy in this place that i wanna be i just love being by the big blue sea and i sang to the sun and i sang to the sea i sang to the world this happy melody and i sang to the moon and i sang to the stars i sang to the world and the whole universe i love to feel the wind in my hair the feeling of freedom in the air it's nice to leave all my troubles behind kick back watch the day pass me by for everyday night will come calling and life will change without heed or warning but everyday i have here on earth i'll try to make sure has its worth and i sang to the sun and i sang to the sea i sang to the world this happy melody and i sang to the moon and i sang to the stars i sang to the world and the whole universe and i sang to the sun and i sang to the sea i sang to the world this happy melody and i sang to the moon and i sang to the stars...

let all the ocean and all the land be at mother natures command let all the animals be free from oppression and slavery let all know equality let the air be pollution free lets teach equal rights preach love and shine the light save the world for the future now save the world, the journey stars now one day you're gone but the earth remains spinning in the milky way woman and man hand in hand with all the animals of the land the sea a twinkling blue and the flowers all in bloom play your part in the fight to keep the earth shinning bright sow a seed and plant a tree become a love revolutionary save the world for the future now save the world, the journey stars now one day you're gone but the earth remains spinning in the milky way don't give up and don't back down stop the earth being a battle ground respect for each other is all we need give some love and show belief save the world for the future now save the world, the journey stars now one day you're gone but the earth remains spinning in the milky way save the world for the future now save the world, the journey stars now one day you're gone but the earth remains spinning in the milky way

i was born in '85 and raised in a market town from a young i was shown the path i had to walk but i never really felt that i beheld the truth so now i'm looking for something greater than it all although it wasn't until 22 i started to have my doubts just to what this game of life was really all about sure i knew love had it's say but so much didn't make sense so now i'm looking for something greater than it all maybe it was the poetry and the songs i heard that made me want to escape, free myself from the heard everyone seems stuck in a place, living a dull routine so now i'm looking for something greater than it all as soon as my mind was opened my dreams grew and grew i heard tales of mystic lands, of ramblers and the truth of how this world is run by men with money and suits so now i'm looking for something greater than it all why would anyone want to serve the corporate machine i have got all i need in my bohemian dream i see no comfort freedom that's wrapped in a lie so now i'm looking for something greater than it all and i see the sun set into the ocean wide i carry on my rambling under starry skies and when the new day dawns i'll play a song of my quest of how i'm looking for something greater than it all

in the circles of sun, moon and world was a paradise unlike none on earth you wouldn't believe it could come crashing down and it's deepest footsteps would be drowned listen to the waves for it's whisper the tales of old buried beneath the waves a world close to our own but oh so different from a time when we had no past behind under the sun-kissed waves lies paradise in a watery grave nothing really known about its place but its mystery echoes through time sparkling fire was the gold of desire and for the people there was nothing higher then truth and belief of a higher ground than the paradise they did found what really happened to this land? did the earth take it with a swipe of the hand? did they know to much or to little? will we ever find the answer to the riddle? under the sun-kissed waves lies paradise in a watery grave nothing really known about its place but its mystery echoes through time it can't all be a fairytale this story of a seeming paradise placed between two pillars of power it's written this place was a desire but i guess i'll never see or know what really happened all that time ago and the people that were there their legend will live on through the years under the sun-kissed waves lies paradise in a watery grave nothing really known about its place but its mystery echoes through time under the sun-kissed waves lies paradise in a watery grave nothing really known about its place but its mystery echoes through time under the sun-kissed waves lies paradise...

the world can get you feeling low with all the demands it throws but hold on it will be ok the sun comes after the rain maybe you can't change the world alone but little steps grow and grow if somethings wrong make it right shine, shine your light relax a while take it slow hold your head high as you go there's no need to worry take your time all will turn out alright hold on through the storms embrace the sun when it dawns and give your thanks to life never give up the fight when you are feeling low take a walk down the road memories dance on the breeze they'll guide you where you need to be relax a while take it slow hold your head high as you go there's no need to worry take your time all will turn out alright relax a while take it slow hold your head high as you go there's no need to worry take your time all will turn out alright

through the seasons of life i've been walking guided by the stars moving to unseen forces in our universe i've dreamt a million dreams in hours of unconscious streams i know not where the wind will blow but i gotta carry on down the road before i meet the angels dance with me until the sun falls before i meet the angels be my angel here on earth i've made it my mission to do what i can to spread kindness throughout the land but there are times i'm weary and worn as i sit and watch the dawn when i'm by the sea i hear it roar the birds in the sky i hear call i get a feeling of isolation can i hold on the dream? before i meet the angels dance with me until the sun falls before i meet the angels be my angel here on earth out to sea i feel like heading hiding from the world and it's demands but i know i gotta keep fighting fighting for freedom and love before i meet the angels dance with me until the sun falls before i meet the angels be my angel here on earth before i meet the angels dance with me until the sun falls before i meet the angels...

Come With Me 01:06
come with me across the sea across the land hand in hand i don't want to be looking at the sun if you're looking at the moon i don't want to be in winter time if you're in summers bloom come with me across the sea across the land hand in hand
