Lyrics
The Wind
Seasons leaves green to gold
Winter makes red fall bare
You gotta crawl to walk
You gotta feel the winter air
The wind still blows out there
Her hair turned brown to grey
His cane stays everyday
You gotta walk to crawl
You gotta feel it all
The wind still blows out there
The wind still blows out there
Change is constant
Pain is the same
Full moons are waining
Stop & stare
From Friend to lover
Lover becomes another
You gotta stay the course
You gotta hold on to.
The wind still blows out there (x 3)

A Mother's Love
or warms the cheeks on my face
When the coffee brews in the early morn,
and your presence fills the space
When the stars twinkle in the night sky,
or light the world with a smile
When a hug tugs at my heart strings,
I know I am your child
It’s a mother’s love, that gave us life
It’s a mother’s love, that held me tight
No one will love you like your mother, her love runs deep
No one will love you like your mother, her love is true
When the wind whispers to the lillies or dances in the leaves
When the birds flutter in the tree limbs,
or sing in the breeze
When the fire slips in the horizon
and winks good night to the day
When your touch soothes my spirit,
I know I am okay
It’s a mother’s love, that knows my soul
It’s a mother’s love, that makes me whole
It’s my mother’s love, that gave me life
It’s my mother’s love, still holds me tight
NO one will love you like your mother,
no one will love you like your mother,
no one will love you like your mother,
Her love runs deep
Her love is big,
Her love is deep,
Her love is true,
That love is you
WE GIVE THANKS
bless the people and the food
Some have travelled quite far to be here
Others, we miss you
We give thanks , we have so much
We give thanks for each other’s touch
We give thanks for those who are not here
We give thanks and hold them near
Please fill our thoughts with sparks of kindness
Let’s give each other our best self
And share the gifts we’ve each been given
Moving forward with vision
We give thanks we have so much
We give thanks for a gentle touch
We give thanks to those who are not here
We give thanks and hold them near
Use these hands to lift another
Use this voice to praise
Use these ears to hear Your calling
Make something matter every day
We give thanks we have so much
We give thanks for each other’s touch
We give thanks across the miles and
We give thanks for smiles
We give thanks for this time
Amen, amen, amen

The Color Red
The color red swirls inside my head, what does it mean, what does it mean?
Passion for life, anger or strife, is this for real, what’s the deal? Confusion, excitement, or fear ( of the unknown)
Years of time now give back to unwind
Father time has set the clock, it’s ours to unlock
Father time has set the clock, it’s ours to unlock-----father time
The color gold begins to unfold into my veins, into my veins
Money for hire, light to inspire, what does it mean, what does it mean? Emotion causes commotion in my soul
A rain blessing pours down on me
Father time has set the clock, it’s ours to unlock
Yea father time has set the clock, it’s ours to unlock---father time
What will I find in the future, yea what will I find in the future, what will I find in the future, who knows
In the color of night everything’s bright, what does it mean, what does it mean?
Moon shines a path making us grasp this is for real, what a deal!
The future is ours to unfold
Forging down paths unknown
That’s what I’ll find in the future, yea that’s what I’ll find in the future, that’s what I’ll find in the future- I know it)
I'm on Your Side
We’ve each got our own
There’s loneliness in the wilderness
Rivers run long
Breathe out breathe in,
Set your kite into the wind
I’m on your side
I don’t care about your bank account
No matter the size
Fake litmus test for happiness
Shrouds for the eyes
Breathe out, breathe in
Set your kite into the wind
I’m on your side...
whoa I’m on your side
I don’t care about your PhD
Or the placques you’ve got on the walls
The world is dense with intelligence
Oh,the pride before the fall
Breathe out, breathe in
Let your kite fly in the wind
I, I, yea I
I’m on your side, always, I’m on your side
Yea, always on your side, on your side
