To Sing

My whole life I’ve been quiet
My whole life, I’ve been waiting to sing
Scared to try lest I break something
Trapped in my silence I missed a pivotal part
Each day I stay silent I break my own heart
Demons inside make us forget who we are
Scared of failure– We’re just dust, made from stars
There once was a girl who loved music
It brought peace to each of her cells
Now she’s learning to speak its language
Because she has stories to tell
My whole life I’ve been quiet
My whole life, I’ve been waiting to sing

Caturday

I don’t want to read any serious books
Please don’t give me those serious looks
It’s Saturday and I want to play
We can be serious some other day
God says the Sabbath should be kept holy
It means eat some Swiss cheese, or perhaps a cannoli
Just don’t run around, chasing “likes” across town
Or searching for more jewels for your precious crown
It’s called a day of rest, cats do it best
Take a nap in the sun / Put your paws in the sun
And then you go have some fun / And don’t get up till your done
You say,”What about chores? They won’t go away
They’ll just pile up if we don’t start today”
I say, “Chores are a bore, you can do so much more
If you ask yourself, what are you choring for?”
I hate to debate, can you relate?
The energy it takes makes me so irate
Why don’t we pack up our egos and perk up our ears
Cause it’s only when we listen that we can hear
Chorus
We burn energy and gas to get somewhere else
So we don’t have to be alone with ourselves
What is we just stayed home, what would we observe
Looking out the window at this beautiful world?
It’s getting kinda serious now, I need to go
All this deep thinking’s interrupting my flow
If you want to continue this conversation
Send my cat a friend request when he’s off of vacation

Nothing I've Done

Nothing I've done have I done alone
My love's the only thing I own
Brought to this place by grace on loan
We are what we bring home
We are what we bring home

The Questions
01:34
|

|
I love my life
I love my wife
Where will they go
If we choose this road?
Who will you be
If we let you be
Will you be the life
Or the death of me?
What is your name?
How will we choose?
What will we gain?
What will we lose?
We have a cat
We have a couch
When will we sit
Gotta feed another mouth?
We love to love
To watch things grow
How will we feel
If we say no?
So many questions
So many whys
Just wanna see the world
Through some sparking eyes.
I love my life
I love my wife
Where will they go
If we choose this road?

Your House
01:47

Oh little infinite one
We’re glad you’re safely here
And we can sing our songs to you
To welcome your new ears
We hope to give you music
As a field guide to your soul
So you will have a treasure map
To find the broken whole
If you build a house here
It will last your whole life through
Ask the turtle or the garden snail
How it feels when home is you
The place you can take refuge
When it’s stormy and it’s cold
Inside it’s warm with memories
Of all the love we hold
Oh little infinite one
We’re glad you’re safely here
And we can sing our songs to you
To welcome your new ears

Soeur Song
01:13

Sister you are far away
But I feel you in my heart each day
Tu me manques et je te pleure
But there’s one thing I know for sure
J’aime ma soeur
Drinking coffee, drinking tea
I wish that you were here with me
Cafe au lait et chocolat
J’aimerais manger avec toi
Mais la chose plus importante
Est que tu es heureuse et contente
(acapella)
Loin, prochain, ca ne fait rien
I love you, je n’ai pas besoin de plus
T’es ma soeur, j’aime ma soeur.
When tout le monde makes me feel down
I know just what can turn it round
I pick up the phone et je t’appelle
And soon I know that all is well
J’ai une soeur, t’es ma soeur
J’aime ma soeur

Welcome In

Welcome ancestors, welcome in
This is the joy that you bring
Welcome children, welcome in
You are the reason we sing
One day soon, it will be in unison
What an incredible ring
What an incredible ring
There are places that we seldom go
Nobody knows what to bring
These are the very places where we need to go
You don’t need to bring anything
It’s where the ancestors welcome us in
Show us the love we can bring
It’s where the children first first begin
It’s why they know everything
One day soon, we’ll be in unison
What a song we will sing
What a song we will sing
Welcome ancestors, welcome in
This is the joy that you bring
Welcome children, welcome in
You are the reason we sing
This is the reason we sing
