The Great Divide
Don’t ya get got
The great divide is an illusion
‘Til the world stops
Don’t be misguided by confusion

I’m talkin’ bout the politics of dignity
And living out the promise of humanity
It’s hard for me to preach without the sanity
Of the eagle-eye view
Where there’s no difference between me and you.
The great divide is an illusion.
(Don’t ya get got)
The great divide is an illusion.
(Don’t ya get got)

I see Dreamers preach
This land’s their land too
And Two Spirits teach
Make old wisdom new
And I sing to myself
They belong in this world

I see Judy Heumann
Oh, she fights for me
While thousands of houseless
Make homes in the street
And I sing to myself
They belong in this world

I tell you in the politics of dignity
We’re mapping out the promise of humanity
We can’t forget the view of basic sanity
Where in the eagle-eye view
There’s no differences.

I see every color
Watch their dollars die
We turn to the children
To be the ones to save our kind
And I sing to myself
We belong in this world
We belong in this world

Don’t ya get got
Don’t ya get got
Don’t ya get got
Don’t ya get got

Blue Rock
Blue rock, blue rock twisting
Trying to make trouble, trying to make freedom.
Blue rock, blue rock shifting
Stirring up trouble, stirring up freedom.

We are living in a world today
Where we take our own peace of mind
And give it away.
Take my hand at the highest price,
And with just enough stardust
I’ll paint my own paradise.

Blue rock, blue rock twisting
Trying to make trouble, trying to make freedom.
Blue rock, blue rock shifting
Stirring up trouble, stirring up freedom.

All around me I see soul folk on the floor
Selling flesh and blood til it ain’t no joke no more.
Sweatshop economics in the name of evolution
And green back flavored apathy done bought out the revolution.

Blue rock, blue rock twisting
Trying to make trouble, trying to make freedom.
Blue rock, blue rock shifting
Stirring up trouble, stirring up freedom.

My Lord what a morning
When the blue rock shakes the mighty to the Earth
My Lord what a morning
When the mountain lays down pleading for rebirth

My Lord what a morning
When the tide crawls back to rest upon the shore
My Lord what a morning
When the martyred sons and daughters cry no more.

Blue rock, blue rock twisting
Trying to make trouble, trying to make freedom.
Blue rock, blue rock shifting
Stirring up trouble, stirring up freedom.

Everyday
Everyday in my house
is like a thousand songs
Every heartbeat is a chance
to right a thousand wrongs

Every lifetime tells another possibility
Every wrinkle in time shows a future memory
Every lifeline holds a new reality
Every star shines on another version of me

Will I be a pot head?
Would I be better off dead?
Would I use a gun or a knife?
Will I be a hot head?
Would you hear a word I said?
Will I be a man to raise a hand to my wife?

Will I be blind?
Will I be kind?
Will I find I can move mountains with my mind?
Will i know myself a child of god and love
Will that be enough?

See every heartbeat is just another possibility
every sunrise saves me from obscurity
Everyday.

Everyday in my house
is like a thousand songs
And every heartbeat is a chance
to find where i belong

every place i wait in the belly of futility
but every song becomes my own private litany

will i have a nice ride?
would i make a beautiful bride?
will i earn more than minimum wage?
would i let myself decide
when it’s time to eat my pride?
will i be reincarnated a sage?

will i just be ordinary?
or would that be too scary?
will i let the church choose who i wed?
will i bleed? will i burn?
will i notice my turn? and will i take it?
Everyday

Copper John
In the city of unseen prophets
Just over the hill
There’s an army of vagabond watchmen
At the citadel

In secret they walk among us
Hidden in plain view
But if they happen see something in us
They might reveal a thing or two

She told me I was trying to live easy
But I was living a lie
He told me I was lost in a forest
Where all the trees were dying

And the yellow-eyed peaceful warrior
They call Copper John
Made an offering patient armor
To help me carry on

In the city of unseen prophets
No one’s ever alone
On the wind is a whispered wisdom
That rattles in your bones

If you’re waiting for sunrise
And you meet at the dawn
Take your fill of the loving and
Pass it on

You know life is a suicide mission
With a question of why
Do it quick, do it slow, do it dirty
or don’t even try

He’s determined to figure out something
Touch the point of the fall
So He asks all the mystic masters
Why come back at all

He said you’re gonna need a peaceful lady
While you wait out the end
You got too much poison in your body
But she can build you again

You’re a sea creature in stale waters
With the power in your blood
To make the angels sing about heaven
Here on earth as above

But let me tell you something honey
We all need to know
You can sing all you want of a brighter tomorrow
But now is all you’ve got so

If you’re waiting for sunrise
And you meet at the dawn
Take your fill of the loving and
Pass it on

Human Right Now
What’s it like to be a human in your world right now?
Do you feel like you’re performing somehow?
Are you wise beyond your years?
Are you troubled by the queers?
Is your cadence sometimes holier than thou?
What’s it like to be a human right now?

What’s it like to be a human in your core?
Is your bank account more bankrupt than before?
Do you feel like this is it
But not satisfied one bit
Are you happy with your life, but still yearning for more?
What’s it like to be a human in your core?

When did it get so hard to show what’s underneath?
The existential threats, the existence of belief?
Why do we look to our distractions for relief?
And what exactly is it we don’t want to see?
In what it’s like to be you, what it’s like to be me?

What’s it like to be human for your neighbor?
If she were lost and confused would you try to save her?
Would your boundaries permit?
If you dove in, could you commit?
Or in the undertow of fear would you forsake her?
What’s it like to be human for your neighbor?

Why, when we struggle with the troubles of this world,
We try to shout it down without extracting the pearl?
And why, when we’re scared, must we sacrifice our power?
No matter what, we only get so many hours
To be human together while the world is ours

What’s it like to be a human in your world right now?
Do you feel you’re adulting in the haze of a cloud?
Are you tired of the fight?
Are you sure that you’re alright with
What it’s like to be a human right now?
What’s it like to be a human right now?

Nobody’s Fault But Mine
Words and music by Willie Johnson, DuBose Heyward, and George Gershwin

Tumble
a bird in the hand ain’t spit to me
you give me one i must need three
enchanted by insanity
my dirty glass is empty

can’t find the dime i used to keep
and now i find i’m losing sleep
but in the morning all i need
is four bucks for my coffee

lost my religion years ago
to a song i used to know
but i don’t need a god to tell me
that the mountain must give way
to the river in its day
even roughest rock can shine

so i tumble, tumble, tumble
yes indeed i tumble, tumble, tumble

i’m lost among the muck of men
so i’m changing up my meds again
i’m nothing if i lose my pain
all the colors look the same

i’ve buried all the evidence
i’m sure i paid my penitence
so now it’s simple common sense
to pass along the blame

lost my religion years ago
to a song i used to know
but i still want god to show me
that the mountain can give way
to the river in its day
even roughest rock can shine

so i tumble, tumble, tumble

Broken Wings
put your head in the mouth of your failure
and let’s see how you survive
put your head in the mouth of your fear and doubt
and let’s watch you try to stay alive
i’ll put my face in the mirror
i’ll reflect what I see
cause so much of what you are
is what i want to be
put your head in the mouth of my witness, of my love
and let’s see if we can finally watch our sunrise

i have walked on this journey for a long time now
but i can still taste the burden of this exile
so if i break, if i shatter, if i leak out on the ground
you just drink from the waters of the wild
if you make me a promise
and you walk at my pace sometimes
we won’t beg any pardon
for who we’re gonna be
i put my head in the mouth of this kindness, of this rest
so we can see if we will finally watch our sunrise

We can sing
With broken wings
We will sing
With our broken wings

You Are the Only One
Words and music by Toshi Reagon

Driftin’
Words and music by Liz Hogan

Well I may seem
strange to you now
or maybe just
a little too lonely

time has brought me here
to the place where I aim to just
lay down and die

and I may never
seemed to fit in
i just spend my time drift in
yeah i may never seem to fit in
I just spend my time
drift in

you may say why give in
there are lights, there are dreams,
there are lives to lived

and i’ve lived them all over again and again
but i still find myself driftin
if i live them all over again and again
i’ll still find myself drift in’
driftin away
driftin away

and i may never see you again
just picture me
i’ll be drift in
and i may never see you again
but you can bet your life
i’ll be drift in
driftin away
driftin away

Woodstock
Words and music by Joni Mitchell

Interlock
Child don’t get it twisted, we belong to each other
Said now child don’t get it twisted, we belong to each other
Said we belong to each, we belong to each other
We belong to each other, we belong to each other

Ain’t got no time for words like us and them
We gonna love each other in the end
‘Cause we belong to each other, we belong to each other
You’ve got your people with you I’ve got mine
We’re gonna love each other in due time
‘Cause we belong to each other, we belong to each other

All Is Forgiven
All is forgiven when the music starts
Been tryin’ to tell ya honey
All is forgiven when the drum beats hard
Count off and earn your money

You spend your whole life
Takin’ everything
Personally
But then you find out
On the other side
Everything is better
Than you ever could believe

All is forgiven
All is forgiven baby
All is forgiven
Yeah, don’t worry, just forget about it

Sometimes you gotta fly too close to the sun
It’s in the mission statement
Sometimes the burn is just half of the fun
If you feel me can I get an amen

You can’t just sit there
In the corner
Thinkin’ how it all went wrong
You’ve got the full house
And all the aces
Sitting in your hand
They’ve been right there all along

All is forgiven
All is forgiven baby
All is forgiven
Yeah, don’t worry, just forget about it

Not Dead Yet
nobody cared when i was perfect
nobody noticed when i got it just right
and now there’s cracks in the window
i kinda like the way it fractures the light

i look around and i see angels
i love em so hard it almost hurts
i take that back, that’s not the problem
it’s competition when the love should come first

every night, every day we go on this way
and we’re not dead yet no we’re not dead yet
All we do, all we say, just dissolve and decay
‘cause we’re not dead yet, i guess we’re not dead yet

ohhhhh…..

I was always scared of being normal
hold on, i feared mediocrity more
to me it meant there was a danger
of somehow losing what we’re doing this for

i wanted something more from this life
i think i thought i had to save the world
i never feared grandiosity
i guess you could say i was just that girl

but now i live in a cathedral
it’s humble but it’s an incredible life
might’ve been me that needed saving
I’m still too broken to put up a fight

every night, every day we go on this way
and we’re not dead yet no we’re not dead yet
All we do, all we say, just dissolve and decay
‘cause we’re not dead yet, i guess we’re not dead yet

there’s something glistening in the water
it’s too mysterious to tell me its name
i’m older now so i can listen
i hope somebody else is doing the same

every night, every day we go on this way
and we’re not dead yet no we’re not dead yet
All we do, all we say, just dissolve and decay
‘cause we’re not dead yet, i guess we’re not dead yet

ohhhhh…..

Ciel Éternel
Words and music by Craig Alistair Bloomfield and Lilli Lewis

Tu es l’enfant de l’espoir et de la douleur de ta mère
Promise par le regard résolu de ta grand-mère,
Du matin jusqu’au soir, nous nous baignons dans ta prière,
La plus brillante des nouvelles flammes dans un ciel éternel.

You are the child of your mother’s hope and pain
Promised by your grandmother’s determined gaze
From morning until night, we bathe in your prayer
The brightest of new flames in an eternal sky

Dès le jour de ta naissance dans un conte tant secret
Tu es venu au monde comme un cadeau discret,
Un chemin tout à toi, un destin universel,
Comme une étoile singulière dans un ciel éternel.

From the day of your birth in a tale so secret
You came into the world like a quiet gift
A path all your own, a universal destiny
Like a singular star in an eternal sky

Ton parcours sera frayé par la peine et la beauté,
Ta douce semence ne sera pas toute plantée,
Et les larmes que, parfois, tu devras verser
Ne sont que les tempêtes normales sous un ciel éternel.

Your journey will be shaped by sorrow and beauty
Your gentle seed won’t all be sown
And the tears you sometimes must shed
Are only the natural storms beneath an eternal sky

Un jour tu connaîtras toutes ces choses par cœur,
Aucune orbite de la lune ne peut te priver de ce bonheur,
Mais le courage te donnera la force de voler,
Comme le moineau si haut dans un ciel éternel.

One day you will know these things by heart
No orbit of the moon can steal this joy from you
But courage will give you the strength to fly
Like the sparrow soaring high in an eternal sky

Beauty Beyond Reason
I want to write a song that she will hear,
She who holds beauty beyond reason.
She, whose eyes like butterflies
Reach to meet the morning sunlight
as it warms their wings
and they rest upon the rainbows
as they wish for simple things

I want to play a song for her to sing
she who holds beauty beyond reason.
she, whose eyes like butterflies
tell her everything she’ll ever need to know,
taking flight beyond the moonlight to behold
beauty beyond reason.

She who knows the reason we must fight for our lives,
She who knows the season comes
to take out the knife from her wounded soul,
for she holds beauty beyond reason

Turn It Around
My spirit says, when I’m moving around
With no place to lay my head,
Just go back to the beginning.

My spirit says, when my heart becomes blind
And cannot see its way into tomorrow
You must go back to the before.

But what about the before?
What about the beginning?
Were they not once a treacherous terrain?
And what about today?
What about ever after?
Tell me what makes the rough places plain?
I’d ask it of me but I’m already lost.
I’d just let it be but release at what cost?

So for a time I’ll turn it around.

My TV says, in a couple of days
My country will be at war,
it’s a matter of survival.
My leader says I’m a victim of chance
In a crossfire between good and “other”
The answer must be in defense.
(or did he say revenge?)

But what about the rage?
What about all the people we could
lose to fury and fear?
And what about the greed?
What about all the dollars
Spent to make me believe all I hear?
I ask it of me ‘cause I’d like to begin
To release my defense, find freedom within.

So for a time, I’ll turn it around.

Our Short Walk Through This Life
We need love on our short walk through this life
Please be kind on your short walk through this life
Offer gentleness and grace on your short walk through this life
Because anyone could be in pain on their short walk through this life

But there’s a fire we all carry
And it lifts us when we break
We must offer up our fire
On on our short walk through this life

It’s an offering of love on our short walk through this life
We need love on our short walk through this life

Her Song
oh.....

she lives her years in the underneath where all is warm and tender
underneath the scary things
where all is pure surrender

she don’t need no bible
to tell her to be kind
there’s nothing in the holy book
to bring her peace of mind
she don’t no need no righteous
to tell her when she’s wrong
for some the earth and heaven’s just
a melody and a song

oh.....

she spends her days in an undergrowth
a verdant paradise
spinning wonder for tender hearts
with little feet and starry eyes

she don’t need possessions
to hold what comes for free
but i still need her gentle way
to reach in and heal me
she don’t need too much
to feel whole or grow strong
for some the earth and heaven’s just
a melody and a song....

ohhh.....

Together
whatever i’ve done
i’ve done it all wrong
whatever i’ve made
well it doesn’t last long
so it’s a good thing
we’re making this song together

well i think you’re funny
clever and kind
and honey when you sass me
i don’t pay you no mind
and you know i’m no saint
let’s let love be blind together

they try to be good
i put up a fight
i’m cursing the lord
while they try to make nice
but it’s a good thing
we’re making this life together

when you hold my hand
i don’t have to be hard
and life’s so sweet
in our little backyard
and who would’ve thunk
we’d have made it this far together

i’m a lopsided fool
when you’re not in the room
honey you’re the handle
on this old dirty broom
without you i wither
but with you we’re blooming together

they try to be good
i put up a fight
i’m cursing the lord
while they try to make nice
but it’s a good thing
we’re making this life together

i’m a silly old goat
when you’re not around
a bumbling wannabe
a bitter old clown
i might be a hot mess
but we better our best together

whatever i’ve done
i’ve done it all wrong
whatever i’ve made
well it doesn’t last long
so it’s a good thing
we’re making this song together

it’s a good thing
we’re making this song together
it’s a good thing
we’re making this song together

Why We Build the Wall
Words and music by Anaïs Mitchell

Wrecking Ball
I don’t want to fight for freedom
Freedom is a right from birth
I don’t need to fight for money
See, a dollar don’t define my worth

I just want peace for my body
Peace of mind
Peace for my soul
Peace for humankind

I don’t wanna to fight for justice
It’s better from an open hand
I don’t wanna to fight for my power
Some people sit to take a stand

And I want peace for the seers
Peace for the blind
Peace for the seekers
Peace for humankind

But we go at
Everything with a wrecking ball
Let’s all go down, tear the walls down, tear ‘em on down

I don’t want to fight for water
‘Cause abundance flows right from the sky
And why they make you fight for shelter
When the ground is soft and trees grow high

I don’t need to fight for knowledge
When wisdom seeds have long been sown
I’m not afraid to walk this journey
See I come into this world alone

But what I want is peace for my brother
Peace for his mind
Peace for my sister
Peace for humankind

Let the Circle Be Unbroken
Words and music by A. P. Carter and Lilli Lewis

Let the circle be unbroken
by and by, yes, by and by
There’s a better home awaiting
in the sky, Lord in the sky

There are strangers at the table
Waiting for a place to stand
Let us welcome them as neighbors
Every open heart and hand

If a weary soul should find you
Give them rest, Lord, give them rest
Walk beside them on their journey
‘Til their troubled hearts are blessed

Let the circle be unbroken
by and by, yes, by and by
There’s a better home awaiting
in the sky, Lord in the sky

Little children at the table
You are precious and adored
Break the bread and pass it onward
‘Til the circle is restored

Let the circle be unbroken
by and by, yes, by and by
There’s a better home awaiting
in the sky, Lord in the sky

Broken Wings

Blue rock, blue rock twisting
Trying to make trouble, trying to make freedom.
Blue rock, blue rock shifting
Stirring up trouble, stirring up freedom.

We are living in a world today
Where we take our own peace of mind
And give it away.
Take my hand at the highest price,
And with just enough stardust
I’ll paint my own paradise.

When the tide crawls back to rest upon the shore
My Lord what a morning
When the martyred sons and daughters cry no more.

Blue rock, blue rock twisting
Trying to make trouble, trying to make freedom.
Blue rock, blue rock shifting
Stirring up trouble, stirring up freedom.

The Way I Am
Words and music by Martin Sexton

there’s a quiet space inside you that is tender
and its solitude will sink you like a stone
everybody likes to tell you it gets better
‘cause they all have tender spaces of their own
and they’d rather do anything but remember
when they knew that space was eating them alive
so they sometimes have to empty out their corners
but that somehow leaves you no place left to hide

so you think maybe with your life
you can buy back your illusions
maybe in your time
you will turn towards what’s to come
and maybe in a dream
you will stumble upon something
that is more than what it seems
more than what it seems

so sleep baby, sweet baby
sleep baby, slumber

i once heard a song that rocked me like a cradle
but its whispers make me shiver in my bones
they remind me of a place i’ll never get to
to a time before i knew i had no home
and i never thought the day would finally find me
when i’d lay before my feet my soldier’s shield
when i’d say before the buzzards all around me
take my flesh, for i have nothing left to wield

so you think maybe with my life
i could buy back my illusions
and maybe in my time
i could turn towards what’s to come
and maybe in a dream
we would stumble upon something
that is more than what it seems
more than what it seems

so sleep baby, sweet baby
sleep baby, slumber

Our Short Walk Through This Life

We need love on our short walk through this life
Please be kind on your short walk through this life
Offer gentleness and grace on your short walk through this life
Because anyone could be in pain on their short walk through this life

But there’s a fire we all carry
And it lifts us when we break
We must offer up our fire
On our short walk through this life

It’s an offering of love on our short walk through this life
We need love on our short walk through this life

a verdant paradise
spinning wonder for tender hearts
with little feet and starry eyes

she don’t need possessions
to hold what comes for free
but i still need her gentle way
to reach in and heal me
she don’t need too much
to feel whole or grow strong
for some the earth and heaven’s just
a melody and a song....

ohhh.....

Together

whatever i’ve done
i’ve done it all wrong
whatever i’ve made
well it doesn’t last long
so it’s a good thing
we’re making this song together

well i think you’re funny
clever and kind
and honey when you sass me
i don’t pay you no mind
and you know i’m no saint
let’s let love be blind together

they try to be good
i put up a fight
i’m cursing the lord
while they try to make nice
but it’s a good thing
we’re making this life together

when you hold my hand
i don’t have to be hard
and life’s so sweet
in our little backyard
and who would’ve thunk
we’d have made it this far together

i’m a lopsided fool
when you’re not in the room
honey you’re the handle
on this old dirty broom
without you i wither
but with you we’re blooming together

they try to be good
i put up a fight
i’m cursing the lord
while they try to make nice
but it’s a good thing
we’re making this life together

i’m a silly old goat
when you’re not around
a bumbling wannabe
a bitter old clown
i might be a hot mess
but we better our best together

whatever i’ve done
i’ve done it all wrong
whatever i’ve made
well it doesn’t last long
so it’s a good thing
we’re making this song together

it’s a good thing
we’re making this song together
it’s a good thing
we’re making this song together

A Change Is Gonna Come
Words and music by Sam Cooke

Sinnerman
Traditional

Firefly
Words and music by Liz Hogan

Life brings me back
Back to nowhere
Life takes me where
Where there’s a place

So when we find life again
Do this for me my friend
When we find life again
Do this for for me

Teach me to love
Teach me to sing
Teach me to dance with these golden strings
And teach me to burn like
The firefly
Teach me to light the dark
Quiet sky

She breaks the heart
A heart of no kind
She asks of me
A kind true heart

So when we find life again
Do this for me my friend
When we find life again
Do this for me

Teach me to walk
Teach me to run
Teach me to thank the golden sun
And teach me to burn like
The firefly
Teach me to light the dark
Quiet sky

Not Dead Yet

nobody cared when i was perfect
nobody noticed when i got it just right
and now there’s cracks in the window
i kinda like the way it fractures the light

i look around and i see angels
i love em so hard it almost hurts
i take that back, that’s not the problem
it’s competition when the love should come first

every night, every day we go on this way
and we’re not dead yet no we’re not dead yet
All we do, all we say, just dissolve and decay
‘cause we’re not dead yet, i guess we’re not dead yet

ohhhhh…..

I was always scared of being normal
hold on, i feared mediocrity more
to me it meant there was a danger
of somehow losing what we’re doing this for

i wanted something more from this life
i think i thought i had to save the world
i never feared grandiosity
i guess you could say i was just that girl

but now i live in a cathedral
it’s humble but it’s an incredible life
might’ve been me that needed saving
I’m still too broken to put up a fight

every night, every day we go on this way
and we’re not dead yet no we’re not dead yet
All we do, all we say, just dissolve and decay
‘cause we’re not dead yet, i guess we’re not dead yet

there’s something glistening in the water
it’s too mysterious to tell me its name
i’m older now so i can listen
i hope somebody else is doing the same

every night, every day we go on this way
and we’re not dead yet no we’re not dead yet
All we do, all we say, just dissolve and decay
‘cause we’re not dead yet, i guess we’re not dead yet

ohhhhh…..
