Bohemian Dream
02:28
|
|||
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, 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

It Just Rolls On
02:42
|
|||
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...

Save The World
03:10
|
|||
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...

Hold On (It's Alright)
03:53
|
|||
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

Before I Meet The Angels
04:11
|
|||
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
