Today is magical, and so was yesterday.

Today is Winter Solstice, the longest night of the year, and the shortest day. Many people think today would mark a huge change and transition to a world that is filled with higher consciousness, more loving vibrations and new possibilities. I see the great possibility inherent in each sunrise but this one has been predicted as a turning point by the Mayans and other folks who are tapped into some potential changes.

The way I see it, if people as a whole, as a species, do  not begin to really shift their views and awareness toward ways that are sustainable, we will not have a world that can be inhabited by humans, and that could happen quite fast. We need the earth, she does not need us.

lyrics

"before i fall"

Take me away
from these monstrosities

If you can see me
Please please please
take my hand
before I fall deeper into what
they have planned

the weather doesn't start in the sky
here in California
ballot boxes are supposed to get us by
but just like the election
we could all use some protection
just look at the people
and what they are trying to say

take us away
from those monstrosities

the weather doesn't start in the sky


-------------------

"belongings"

I belong to nobody but me
you belong to nobody but you

we can meet in the middle
for communication
a little conversation
but you reveal my identity
don't shine that light on me

so take off your mask now
i will do the same
there has been nothing but lies
since you came
despite that i know
nobody is to blame

if you were in my shoes
maybe you would see
there is nothing but shadow
dwelling where i used to be
so i ask for your mercy
---------------------------

"twirl"

twirl and unfurl the curl from your stare
it's like I knew you but you weren't there
I like that I saw you when others took distance
I cannot forget the odd hue of that dissonance
you were so real
I thought I knew what I wanted to feel

(chorus) so no matter what you thought you were lookin at
I can prove, baby, I can prove I am better then that

nothing can change the way lightning struck when we first locked gazes
or how i instantly understood all your previous phases

chorus-

nothing can change our dedication to each other now
we are as close as time and space will allow
------------------------------

"open up"

if you would open up
a little more
you would find
we could go so far

if you open up a little more
you would not regret
getting your feet wet

i can show you places you never seen
i can take you places out of this dream

if you hear me out, you will see
a little trust goes a long way

i just wanted to say
i'm here for you, despite the pain
i'm here for you, through sun and rain

if you open up a little more
life will shift, spirits will lift

I can see you through it
I can take you deeper
I can love you better

if you open up a little more
we would go so far

sacred soil

lookin up i always wonder why
there is so much distraction before we reach the sky

and if i could shake off this mortal coil
i might just stay grounded in the sacred soil

if given the choice i would forfeit my own voice
so humanity could heal from the suffering they feel

i know it seems kinda strange that this is how i call for change
but what else can i do but give all that has helped me to live?


"someday"

someday i will tell you
how i got through it
for now all you need to know
is I can do it

you think I am still scared of myself
I say put those labels back on the shelf
where they belong
too tainted for this song

let those secrets out
holding you hostage
out into the breeze
to be cleansed by water
purified by fire

someday I will tell you how I do it
for now all you need to know is I am
gettin through it
for now all you need to know about me
is I can do it
