Coffin For Our Love
You walk in grinning your grin and quickly it's quite clear
I still can't see your face without starting to tear
It's been years and now you're here steppin' to my pace
Wanna tell me all about you're latest saving grace
I invite you in where love has been the potion of our past
You start tellin' me you don't think your latest love will last
Now I understand where you were all those years ago
Telling somebody else all the things you could have let me know
I don't need a coffin for our love baby
I don't want a piper's revelry
I just want you to let go my heart baby
I just want you to let go of me
Let go of me
Just let me be...
I need to let go, need to move freely, get out of the past
Just because a love is strong, doesn't mean it's gonna last
Even harder babe, digging up graves, so please just let me go
I know you know what I'm talkin' about.
I know you know I know.
No I don't want a coffin for our love baby
We don't get a twenty-one gun salute
I just want you to let go my heart baby
Cause I want to let go of you
Let go of you...

Turn It Around
Tweet talk talk talkin'
Puttin' promise before a solution
Nobody's listenin' but we're still drawing lot of conclusions
Charmers on the TV screen love to tell us 'bout how we've gone sour
Everyone tuning in as the scandal changes by the hour
Yet they keep the power
Yet they keep the power
Yet they keep the power
Now we've got some work to do...
All the people awake with the knowledge
Of injustices, systemic racism to the electoral college
We've got to dig down deep and expose the source of these problems
Won't do no one any good if we don't heal up from the bottom.
Let's make it our problem.
Let's make it our problem.
Let's make it our problem.
All this in-fighting?
While Nations, circle, circle around
War Games as a means of distraction
If the people who live next door aren't safe
because of race, or where their love can be found
Then nobody's reaching that higher ground
We've got to turn it around
We've got to turn it around
We've got to turn it around
We've got to turn it around
All this in-fighting?
While Nations, circle, circle around
War Games as a means of distraction
If the people who live next door aren't safe
because of race, or where their love can be found
Nobody's reaching that higher ground
We've got to turn it around
Turn it around
Turn it around
Turn it around
Turn it around

Talkin' To
Brother, aren't we the fortunate ones...
Mother, you never did have to run...
Father, I know you'd put your life on the line, if the lives to be bettered were yours and mine.
When you toe their line, then you toe to hate
And hate ain't ever made anybody great.
I know you better, than "they and them"
So listen up, I need to tell you somethin'
I wanna talk to you.
I wanna talk to you.
Ooooo you need some talkin' to.
The people who are shouting into your ears
Have everything to gain if they can sell you their brand of fear.
And they'll paint that fear with colors you can see,
So you know who to hate or judge more easily.
Oh they can make that hate shine...
Say it comes straight from the divine...
Then they feel so righteous,
'Cause they think they're right.
But you and I both know
You and i both know
That's not how you get to the light...
So I wanna talk to you.
I wanna talk to you.
You need some talkin' to
You need some talkin' to
You need some talkin' to
Sit down, get comfy, we're gonna be here awhile
But I've got some wonderful news, wonderful news
Only hate has to lose.
If that's what we choose
'Cause there's enough for everybody
Enough for every body
If that's what we choose.

The Veil

The Veil
Nothing is as it seems
We're coming apart at the seams
Men with scornful hearts
Are prying the curtain apart
And now we can see the machine
They thought would keep them unseen
So we take up light in our arms and shine it on all of it's parts
We still hold
We still hold
All this hope and it will grow
Blow the veil and it crumbles apart
And now we see where we are
And we see where we could be
Together we'll take this journey
No longer hold fists at our sides
United we'll raise them up high
And we'll see where the feminine hides
Together we'll take back our skies
'Cause we still hold
We still hold
All this hope and it will grow
We still hold
We still hold, all this hope and it will grow
So we'll take up light in our arms, and shine it on all of their harm
We'll take up love as our arms, and call them out all day long
So we'll take up light in our arms, and shine it on all of their harm
We'll take up love as our arms, and call them out all day long

Slow Fade
I reach across the table
You take my hand
I'll try to catch ya boy as best as I am able
And yes, I understand
There are ghosts, ghosts on the path
Sometimes they'll catch you when you are quite unaware
The cracks they made on your heart, still under repair
And though the work has gone on lo these many years
It shakes you up, shakes you up, and the cracks can reappear
Oh I know... Yes I know...
Love doesn't go...
Oh... I know, love doesn't just...go away.
Oh I know.... Yes I know...
So walk with me toward the sun
Grab your ghosts bring them along
We'll look at this in light of day, and we will understand this way
The Earth is just a promenade and out of star stuff we are made
So, love, will always be...
A slow fade
A slow...fade.
A slow, a slow, a slow
Fade...
Oh I know... I know...
So walk with me toward the sun
Grab your ghosts bring them along
We'll look at this in light of day, and we will understand this way
The Earth is just a promenade and out of star stuff we are made
So, love, will always be
Love has always been
Love will always be...a slow fade

Space
Planets and suns and moons and meteors
Satellites and rockets with robot features
Black holes, comets, the Milkyway Galaxy
That's where Earth lives because of gravity
Space
We like space
We Like Space
The sun is enormous so Mercury looks tiny
Venus and Earth are about the same sizey
Mars seems small, 'cause Jupiter is HUGE
Then comes Saturn, Uranus, Neptune
Space
We like space
In space no one wants to slow you down
Fast is the only way to get around
Space
We like space
Some of the planets have more than one moon
Some have rings that's a whole 'nother tune
Some folks are sayin', "What about Pluto?"
It's a dwarf planet, we learned somethin' new
Space
We like space
In space no one wants to slow you down
Fast is the only way to get around
In space there's so much space to be found,
you don't have to walk you just float around
In space there's so much in front of you
Infinity means there's no end to view
Space
We like space
Interlude
Countdown!
BLAST OFF!!!!!!!!
(rocket to space madness)
