It’s almost not real
The joy that I feel
The things that she can heal
Young and strong
Gliding along
Chirping her own song
Hey all you people
Yes, I love you
Now
All you people
Please love each other
Somehow
She’s Caring so hard
She’s just
Just happy we’re happy
She trusts
She trusts in the trusting
She’s just
Gliding along
But not carefree
It’s almost not real
The joy that I feel
The things that she can heal
Knows the secrets of the Ages
Somehow knows the Hidden wisdom
Knows a path to goodness
She smiles
When people know and are kind
She hurts
When she sees it go so wrong
Young and strong
Gliding along
Chirping her love song

<West..Dust..
West..We must..>
Bring the blue plate
Place it straight
For the farmer man
Neat as you can
Set out his food
The man isn’t crude
He’s just hungry too
Maybe passing through
His dream
Once here
Is gone
Gone west
Long gone west
Maybe where the sun is warm
Maybe where they leave you alone
No no no
He didn’t go
No no no
He didn’t go
Couldn’t leave for what he didn’t know
Man stayed in the desert snow
Let it blow
Her dream wasn’t here
That much was clear
Toughened by ice
Wasn’t a price
Could keep her down
Had to get out of town
Girl could see
She knew what had to be
Girl could see
The only way for her to breathe
Find the place where she could be
The girl born to lead
Yeah She had to leave
To find the place
Where <she> could be
The light she knew was <there> inside
The fight she knew was there ...inside
Was there inside
So much to hide
Was there inside
Too much to hide
New day
New day for you
No blue plate for you
Shiny cars, movie stars
It's a new day for you
It’s a new life for you
Young and bold
Couldn’t be told
What freedom should mean
To a girl with a dream
Knocked you down
To make you come around
Never turned down your light
Not without a fight]
Girl with a dream
Knew what freedom should mean
But they knocked you down to make you
Come around
Don’t go without a fight
Without a fight
Not without a fight

Waves coming down
Can’t stay on the ground
They’ll pull me under
Or I wonder
Never ends, coming for you
Fears roll in, must plow through
A smile for your thoughts
Makes me wonder
Together over we go
Walls of worry just don’t know
Stand and go under
Or I wonder..
Let it go, pulled somehow
The rush makes me laugh right out loud
On top, I can breathe
Or I wonder
Together over we go
Walls of worry just don’t know
Stand and go under
No way, not me man
Waves coming down
Can’t stay on the ground
They’ll pull me under
Not me man
Never ends, coming for you
Fears roll in, must plow through
A smile for your thoughts
Up and over

Taking it in
Not letting it roll
Making a stand
But what do I know
It's all so hard
To just sort it out
What we see
And what its about
What is it worth
So far from the lines
What are sounds worth
When it’s not you who dies
Shaking a head
Getting all worked up
Sending some cash
But not all that much
What is it worth
From the tame side
Just save those words
When it’s not you who dies

Teacher Michael … is it all true?
The words you said will help me through
Warm kind face - crucibles and lines
Beauty and meaning - throughout the times
How do we lead? We just can’t know
What those who follow have all been through
Warm and calm, solid and true
Seeing so much, but not straight through
All full of promise, all glowing bright
Their hope must live or we’ve lost the fight
Teacher Michael helped us through
Teacher Michael - remembering you

Bees Gonna Buzz

Well the bees come around
When I come into town
Yeah the bees come around
Make my head look down
Those pretty bees come around
When I walk through town
No I can’t look around
Don’t wanna be found
Well the bees come around
When I come back to town
Well those bees buzz around
Make a pretty little sound
Pretty bees buzz around
Make my head turn round
Bees buzzing round
With that happy little sound
They flyin here and there
Don’t seem to have a care
They don’t have a care
But they giving me a scare
Bees gonna buzz
If I chase those bees around
They’ll run me to the ground
Bees gonna buzz
Bees gonna buzz

Town with Your Name (Bev's Song)
Gold shining down on the Valley
Hills glowing bright for what's coming
Crossed the empty parts to get this
Leaving hurt behind like she did
Forty years before
Coming to belong
Dream pulling you along
Smiling kind, getting strong
Hoping to belong
Pulled by hope, pushed by pain
To the place that's got your name
Wanting love
Not some hurtful game
Coming to belong
Need pulling you along
Finding love, so strong
There all along
Beautiful girl
Fighting through
Never given what he had
No private school
Tending all them
You need caring too
Beautiful girl
Made her own world
Little girl of your own
To give the stars, Moon and Sun
A man who knows you're the one
Love has grown
Always there, teaching and caring
But sometimes the world wasn't listening
So many gifts you've been sending
Beautiful girl
Made her own world
Beautiful girl
