How
can I survive
with all this bad news surround me?
Still it feels so right
with all there is thats around me
& did you know that love can rise
from the barren ground?
Sometimes I just can’t speak - because words distort the truth.

Oh
I wish I were
in a warm garden.
Oh I wish I were in a . . . warm garden.
Oh I wish I were in a warm garden . . .
Feelin'
the beat of the sun on me
Feelin' the beat of the sun on me
Feelin' the beat of the sun . . . on me.

Long
has been your preparation,
a continuing quest
the distances searched to comfort your loneliness.
I’ve
found someone to join me in the dance
It’s a jubilent circumstance!
Preserve
this flowing presence,
a worthy accumulation
a thorough saturation and equivalent exchange.
So
right, in so many ways,
together we can surpass
individual initiatives to share & sing each others praise.
| are you listening? | - 2:49 | track four |
| musicians: | jana | - guitar, vocal, bass & banjo |
|
Did
you hear what I said?
Were you casually listening in?
Have you ever been bled?
Is that why you seem made of tin?
Don’t
let ‘em get you down,
people like that are around
I hope their soul can be found
| dreamin' again | - 4:46 | track five |
| musicians: | jana | - piano, vocal, strings |
| paul hardy | - bass | |

I can’t
remember what,
but I’m dreamin’ again
& I
can look at my face in the mirror.
Can you look at your face in the mirror?
I can’t
remember what but I’m dreamin’ again.
I can’t remember what but I’m dreamin’ again.
Theres
no place left to pioneer
& still you are a pioneer.
I can’t remember what but I’m dreamin’ again.
| i do, need you | - 4:37 | track six |

I’m
living out in the gray zone.
It’s a place where you’re really alone -
where people can't seem to hurt you,
but you can’t learn anything new.
I do, need you . . . I do, need you.
Waitin’
for a friend to show.
Generic hits are playin’ on the radio.
Don’t they think that the people know,
they probably do but they’re makin’ money, so . . .
Who cares is scarce . . . who cares, is scarce.
I turned
to gray cause things aren’t
always black & white.
No simple answers, sure I
know whats wrong from right.
But, if the information saturation isn’t clear . . .
my body’s here, but my mind is way out there.
Is where? Over there . . . is way out there.
Yes,
I need you to hold me tight.
Seeking hope, I dream with all my might.
Together we can shatter this chatter
& understand the fact, the fact that we all matter.

Jesse
Ed - What are you doin’ dead? (3x)
I
never knew you were -
a heroin head.
He
was only 43, when he hit that end,
I won’t pretend
to understand
what took his life
to some its just a strife.
Maybe
someday
when we meet down the road,
we’ll find whats true,
in the end down the road,
when we accompany you . . .

I feel like a remnant
of some days gone by.
I just don’t fit in yet
& I don’t know why.
I always
felt I understood,
I know the rest of the world could.
I connect
with nothing
still I feel it in my bones,
sifting through whispers
with some thougths as hard as stones.
I believe
in all mankind -
still a true heart is hard to find.
Why
can’t I be blessed
to make a difference?
There’s such a fine line bewteen this world of yours & mine.
| hear me | - 3:09 | track nine |
| musicians: | jana | - vocal, keyboard & dulcimer |
|
I can’t see you & you can’t hear me (2x)
My
spirit is lacking,
demanding, attacking,
insisting, persisting -
that I can’t, be you,
it’s
our attitude,
a former habitude
a hidden affliction,
addressing, redressing,
enduring, obscuring -
so I can’t see you & you can’t hear me.
I can’t
see you , why can’t you hear me?
what am I gonna do . . .

Ooh,
can’t you feel it -
in your heart.
We,
should never part
Mm Mm oh we, yeah!
Just the start.
Oh
. . . Aah . . .Mmm . . . Ooh,
can’t you feel it - in your heart.
