Mumma
If I could see things just like my mumma
Like telling the truth because you want to
Blessings and knowledge for my Karma
If I could see things just like my mumma
You give me inspiration
When my whole world is crumbling
You’ve known the hard times and the good
From high, I feel your love transcend
All of the rules that confine the modern man
There’s no confusion, or illusion,
That you get something for nothing yeah
If I could see things just like my mumma
Like telling the truth because you want to
Blessings and knowledge for my Karma
If I could see things just like my mumma
Things just like my Mumma
Mumma taught me son
Be an honest man
Make a living where you can
For you have my love and support
Go wherever you feel the call
But most of all
Trust your instincts more
Than what others say
Cos in the end
You’ve only got yourself
Which knows the way
If I could see things just like my mumma
Like telling the truth because you wanna
The blessings and knowledge for my Karma
For my Karma
If I could see things just like my mumma
You fill me up
You order the best
You know your self worth
To god you confess
All your wrongdoings and mess
Standing solid
Holding that weight within your chest
If I could see things just like my mumma
Like telling the truth because you wanna
The blessings and knowledge for my Karma
For my Karma
If I could see things just like my mumma

The Darkness
Jesse Witney
The rain it falls
at any given moment
the rain it falls
it can drench you
to the core
Love lost
In the deepest
Ocean of your heart
There ain't no potion
For the emotion
That breaks your
pillars fast
You cannot run from the darkness
Only wait it out for the dawn
So hold me like a baby
Hold me in your arms
This spell it is abrasive
Coat me with your love
You cannot run from the darkness
Only wait it out for the dawn
Only wait it out for the dawn
You cannot run from the darkness
Only wait it out for the dawn
Only wait it out for the dawn
Despair not or be lonely
Your friends and family’s
love you keep
This time it is worth knowing
I know you feel the pressure deep
You wonder where we're going
But ain't that just humanity
To rip and claw at wanting more
Not understanding nature's law
Patience now it won't be long
The sun is on the rise
It's on the rise
The sun is on the rise
it's on the rise

Teresa, Teresinha
Lyrics written by Jesse Witney & Teresa Bertoni
Um dia eu acordei cedo
Pensando em minha vida
Senti que eu preciso
De um tempo
Que me guia
Souor pingando mesmo
Entre meus olhos pretos
Essa cidade é uma loucura
E eu não sou o filho dela
(One day I work up early,
thinking about my life,
I felt I needed some time
To guide me,
Sweat dripping between
My black eyes,
This city is a crazy thing,
And I’m not her son)
Teresa Teresinha
Vamos á floresta
Fazendo o caminho
Aprender contigo
(Teresa little Teresa
let’s go to the forest
make a walk
I learn with you)
Lalayalalaya
La vida tiene que ser linda
El cielo es bajo y el sol arriba
No me perguntas que yo ago
Todavia estoy feliz
En el camino por Santiago
Vas sentir se relajado
Porque la vida es un regalo
Y bien major quando disfrutar-lo
(Life has got to be beautiful
The sky is low and
The sun above
Don’t ask me what I do
I’m still happy,
On the walk to Santiago
You will feel yourself relaxed
Because life is a present
And much better when
You appreciate it)
Teresa Teresinha
Vamos á floresta
Fazendo o caminho
Vou aprender contigo

There'll be days

There’ll be days
There’ll be days
That you feel like crying
There’ll be days
That you feel so cold
In all of the ways
That we’re always striving
Can you take
Take a little time
Time out for your soul
We’re gonna take a stroll
Down to the seaside
We will take the road
Along the cobbleheaded way
We’re gonna take our time
Cos our time is so golden
And so we roll
With the highest hopes
Of the decisions
That we made
So let’s go wild
To somewhere sacred
And there we can unwind
From all the things that lock the time
And we’re gonna free ourselves
From our very own minds
No more dismay
All of our worries
Washed away
There’ll be days
That you want to stop trying
And there’ll be days
That everything is rubbing up gold
In all of the ways
That we’re always striving, striving
Can you take
Take a little time
Time out for your soul

Mama Maya

Mama Maya
All the way down
To the sea
Let the water
Be your remedy
From the canopy I look down
To the sea
It’s calling me
Saying come and take me home
Like an illusion of the desert
Like a mirage
Temptation manifest herself
So you gotta know your path
Give it up give it up to Mama Maya
Give it up give it up to Mama Maya
Give it up give it up to Mama Maya
Give it up give it up to Mama Maya
Waterfalls wash over
Purify electrify me
Got no doubt no worry
Like rivers running endlessly
I’ve been feeling freedom
Now it’s here it’s calling me
It’s more important to listen
Ride the flow
Feel free to take your time
And now that I’m open
To her wisdom
Hey hey,
She helps me choose what’s right
Give it up give it up to Mama Maya
Give it up give it up to Mama Maya
Give it up give it up to Mama Maya
Give it up give it up to Mama Maya
Mother nature
Just respect her
Our behavior
To the pain
We’ve become
So very numb

Ao Seu Redor Lyrics
Amanhecer
O di te chama
Cê não que ver
A lembrança
Vai permanecer
Leva um pouco
De mim contigo
As vezes é bom
Se revelar
A luz pra você
Talvez pareça parada
Mas está sempre contigo
Lá na tua estrada
Oi amor
Você não está só
O sol brilhante
Ilumina ao seu redor
Oi amor
Você não está só
O sol brilhante
Ilumina ao seu redor
Pássaro do mundo
Não quer ficar
Em caixa
Igual teu coração
Que quer voar
Entrada comprada
O som da rua
É lembrança
Tua vida passada
Daqui pra frente
Não desiste
Vai sempre ser
Amada
Oi amor
Você não está só
O sol brilhante
Ilumina ao seu redor
Oi amor
Você não está só
O sol brilhante
Ilumina ao seu redor

The Captain

The Captain
Close your eyes
look inside
fight the fear
don’t hide
you made a choice
to be the best
that you can be
Have faith
in your way
rocky times
you’re gonna face
but there ain’t nothing
your mind
cannot achieve
You hear the see calling
honour your gift
it’s time to cast
your sails out
into the wind
Cos I am the captain
you are the captain
hear the sea roar man
but don’t get distracted
I am the captain
you are the captain
A time to reap
a time to sow
a time to stop
a time to go
a time to let
all of the growing happen slow
Spirituality, god almighty
or whatever you may consider
that to be
I pray for peace
but if there’s war
you must understand
what you’re fighting for
not be deluded by the greed
or the insane
Cos I am the captain
you are the captain
hear the sea roar man
but don’t get distracted
I am the captain
you are the captain
If you feel your ship’s in danger
grab onto the rail
the storm erupts a mighty wave
that crashes on the bow
The sails are beating
mastery it calls
to your avail
Find the courage
to keep an even keel
and sail another day
another day
Cos I am the captain
you are the captain
hear the sea roar man
but don’t get distracted
I am the captain
you are the captain

The System

The System
This train is bound for crash
We’re all aware of that
A blind eye turns to black
And we all go to Heaven
A temple rings the bell
Ceremony Sunday’s tell
Uniforms they fit you well
What’s it take to break the spell?
Needing a new System
Not a profit or religion
Unified mass commitment
To avoid crash course collision
I don’t wanna burn more fuel
Don’t wanna fire more gas
I don’t need more of this
Let alone more of that
What I want is energy
Clean renewable chemistry
I don’t wanna buy more things
That I really don’t need
When all I need is love
Unconditionally
What I want is energy
Clean renewables
Needing a new System
A non-capitalistic rhythm
Democracy’s lost it’s wisdom
And what we need is long term vision
I don’t wanna burn more fuel
Don’t wanna fire more gas
I don’t need more of this
Let alone more of that
What I want is energy
Clean renewable chemistry
I don’t wanna buy more things
That I really don’t need
When all I need is love
Unconditionally
What I want is energy
Clean renewables
Needing a new System
What I’m needing is a new System
Are you needing a new System?
To avoid crash course collision

Apple of my Eye
Lyrics by Jesse Witney
Where did you go?
I wish to know
Like the fishes of the ocean
Going with the flow
Going with the flow
Lady of the sea
Are you going to drift away?
To a place that ain’t got me
Is that how it’s gonna be?
So long lady
I’m not gonna lie
Baby you’re the apple of my eye
You be like some kind of
Bird in the breeze
Soaring endlessly
Don’t know why
It’s so hard
So hard to see the light
Day or night
What is really right?
Is it to tie you up in chains,
Or let you break away?
You know that lately I’ve been thinking
I don’t know if I wanna lose you
Just like the stars up in the sky
I want you always there by my side
So long lady
I’m not gonna lie
Baby you’re the apple of my eye
Tell me why we got to say goodbye

You're The Only One
04:13
|

You’re the only one
Sometimes you’ll feel blue
Sometimes you’ll feel low
Sometimes there is nothing
You can do
Until you
Let it
Go
I’ve been
Growing so much
That I can no longer hide
All of the marks
On my skin
From growing
From growing
Into the man
I’m knowing
Let’s take a chance on me
Did you see
I was a cannonball coming
Rolling down the hill
To the sounds of thunder
Plummeting
Smashing through the roof
Ending right next to
The place where I was
When I was slumbering
Out on the verandah
To the sounds of
Some kind of nature
You’re the only one for me
You’re the only one for me
You’re the only one
So I’m taking it slow
Building my bones
Consulting the omens
On which direction to go
Building this castle
From the inside out
Not worried about the future
Because I’m here right now
Which is why
I be placing
One brick after the other
To show the universe
That I be a steady lover
Building this home
As a beautiful gift
Not only for myself
But for all of my friends
You’re the only one for me
You’re the only one for me
You’re the only one
But I got your back
Yeah I got your back
Got your back
Baby I got ya
Got ya
I got your back
Yeah I got your back
Got your back
Cos you got mine
Got mine
All these moments drifting by
All these days are mixing
Into the sweetest time
Of undeniable wealth
And life gets by
And I’ll go cruising with you
Just my baby blue and me
Oh can’t you see
That it’s not your hairstyle
Though it’s good
It’s not the way you look
Though damn you’re beautiful
Oh baby it’s the way that
You make me feel
I can’t deny it’s real
Cannot deny it
In any way
You’re the only one for me
You’re the only one for me
You’re the only one

Trees
01:50
|

Trees
Trees are the most
Majestic things
Their branches
Reaching skyward
Filtering the breeze
My god I love trees
They feed the bees
They make me weak
In the knees
When I smell
Bloodwood flowers
It is heaven
In a scent
Transports me somewhere else
Before I remember
Who I am
Or where I went
For I’ve always been
Fond of trees
The way they
Fill the horizon
And feed countless wildlife
One’s that qwuark
And Squawk
Pitter patter
And glide
Sharing their dinner
With the ground
When they poo
Making more trees
That I love
And I hope
You do too
I cannot imagine
A world
Without you
You are me
Eternally
No, I could never
Be without you
And I hope
Nor you me
When I come back
Next Life
I wanna be a tree

O Milagre

O Milagre
Imagina vida sem o sol nascendo
Nadando escuridão
Procurando seu lar
Nada além dum coração batendo
Esperando o milagre chegar
Esperando o milagre chegar
O que faz um diferente do outro?
Dizem que todos nós nascemos iguais
Mas eu vejo incontáveis seres sofrendo
Esperando o milagre chegar
Esperando o milagre chegar
O que você chama milagre?
Uma mão para tirar-lo
Da confusão
Será que deus é algo
Em que você acredita
Talvez ele aguarda
Tua oração
O milagre chegar
O matadouro continuará matando
E o gado, nunca vê o seu vilão
Tudo vai bem se tem cerveja gelada
Enquanto esperamos o milagre chegar
Esperando o milagre chegar
