The Lingering On
(Searching for the cosmic soul)
It's like I was living in a dream
It's like I was living in a dream
Oh what are these dreams? And what do they mean?
It's like I was living in a dream
...And all the people who defined you
Linger on to remind you
Of where you’ve been and are meant to be
And you can’t help but look around
At all the hearts in the lost and found
But you’ll be stronger if you repeat after me
Oh love don’t hurt me anymore
Seems like we’ve all been through this before
Oh love don’t hurt me anymore
Seems like we’ve all been through this before
Oh we’re not here to be united in our suffering
Oh don’t make me wonder what’s wrong with me
Oh we’re not here to be united in our suffering
Oh don’t make me wonder what’s wrong with me
Don’t make me wonder what’s wrong with me
Don’t make me wonder what’s wrong with me
Don’t make me wonder what’s wrong with me
Don’t make me wonder what’s wrong with me
And finding community is a necessity
To avoid chaotic tendencies
For it can be so hard to go through life alone
And though family can be a nightmare
Don’t you ever forget how you got here
And keep in mind that some of us don’t have the luxury of returning home
Oh how I was dying to live
But I got so much left to give
Oh how I was dying to live
But I got so much left to give
Oh we’re not here to be united in our suffering
Oh don’t make me wonder what’s wrong with me
Oh we’re not here to be united in our suffering
Oh don’t make me wonder what’s wrong with me
Oh don’t make me wonder what’s wrong with me
Don’t make me wonder what’s wrong with me
Oh don’t make me wonder what’s wrong with me
Don’t make me wonder
Lost my direction, but saw my reflection
Lost my direction, but saw my reflection
Lost my direction, but saw my reflection
Lost my direction, but saw my reflection

Celebrate Your Body!
04:26
|

Remembering the way she walked away
Sittin’ in a jail cell with that bright light on your face
Asking, “what time is it?” as if that's all you can say
Knowing you gotta get out of town or else dig your grave
And if you could get past the mania, would it all be better?
Oh no, there’s no hope unless you wanna be a slave
And if there’s love, you know it’s so deep inside her
That to get it out would cause too much pain
Oh but if we really loved ourselves, then we’d ask for help
If we’re unable to just walk away
And if we really loved ourselves, we wouldn’t give our heart to someone else
Who don’t care if you go or you stay
And you got to love yourself before you give out your love
And you got to love yourself before you give out your love
And you got to love yourself before you give out your love
And you got to love yourself before you give out your love
And just as I left, I have come with good intentions
With peace in my heart and in my mind
And that I’ve remained only proves me lucky
Knowing that with silence you are still choosing a side
But if we really loved ourselves, then we’d ask for help
If we’re unable to just walk away
And if we really loved ourselves, we wouldn’t give our heart to someone else
Who don’t care if you go or you stay
And you got to love yourself before you give out your love
And you got to love yourself before you give out your love
And you got to love yourself before you give out your love
And you got to love yourself before you give out your love
Celebrate your body
Celebrate your body
Celebrate your body
Celebrate your body

Another Time
05:09
|
|||
I know you thought this would be our last incarnation
But based on how things ended, I got some reservations
Oh will you find me again in this life?
Or are you waiting for another time?
Now when I was a child maybe 12 years old
I was camping in the Boy Scouts and saw a star explode
Wondering if that was our doomed fate many lightyears ago
Standing back here on Earth just trying to make it a home
Singin'
Oh will you find me again in this life?
Or are you waiting for another time?
Oh will you find me again in this life?
Or are you waiting for another time?
Meanwhile when I talk, people say they have a hard time understandin’
In fact, they used to say I had a speech impediment
But there’s nothing wrong with me
There’s nothing wrong with me
There’s nothing wrong with me
Oh I’m just new here
Yeah, I’m just new here
Oh will you find me again in this life?
Or are you waiting for another time?
Oh will you find me again in this life?
Or are you waiting for another time?
Now I’m out here underneath the moonlight
And I say that, but there’s not a moon in sight
Just an infinity of stars caressing my eyes
Flickering like candle lights
And it reminds me
And it reminds me
And it reminds me
And it reminds me
Of another time
Another time
Another time
Another time
Another time
Another time
Another time
Another time
Oh will you find me again in this life?
Or are you waiting for another time?
Oh will you find me again in this life?
Or are you waiting for another time?
Oh will you find me again in this life?
Or are you waiting for another time?
Oh will you find me again in this life?
Or are you waiting for another time?

All Is Forgiven
03:25
|

I’ll chase these visions to the edge of the earth if I have to
To the spirit I’m listenin’ and I know just now what I gotta do
I’m a long way from home
But thank G-d for the telephone, so I can say
All is forgiven
All is forgiven
All is forgiven
All is forgiven
And retrograde is over so we can return to the world if we want to
And love can’t be conquered for even the strongest army wouldn’t know what to do
Do you feel the power?
Well, I feel it to, singin’
All is forgiven
All is forgiven
All is forgiven
All is forgiven
All is forgiven
All is forgiven
All is forgiven
All is forgiven

Soft Reflection

And you got to love yourself before you give out your love
And you got to love yourself before you give out your love
And you got to love yourself before you give out your love
And you got to love yourself before you give out your love

I Was Dreaming
02:42
|
|||
I was dreaming, I was lost
I’ve been found, now I'm gone
Searching for that magical being
The uncovering of the mystery
Now that I’m home from away
And it’s where I wanna stay
I’m among the flowers in the grass
In clothes I found on the street while walking past
People always ask how I make money
Oh but they never ask how I make love
So tell me are you here just 'cause you’re lonely?
Oh I want a lover who loves me and I know I’m not the only one
So is there logic, is there reason
To be found in our affliction?
The highway enticed me before I called it home
But such is a lesson in how it goes
I met a man in a park
And we talked, it grew dark
Speaking of innocence in its primal state
Can we ever return or is it to late?
And people always ask how I make money
Oh but they never ask how I make love
So tell me are you here just 'cause you’re lonely?
Oh I want a lover who loves me and I know I’m not the only one
And flowers don’t compare themselves to other flowers
They just open on up and let themselves bloom
Yet here we are forgetting our powers
When we could be the source of the light, the illuminated few
And people always ask how I make money
Oh but they never ask how I make love
So tell me are you here just 'cause you’re lonely?
Oh I want a lover who loves me and I know I’m not the only one
People always ask how I make money
Oh but they never ask how I make love
So tell me are you here just 'cause you’re lonely?
Oh I want a lover who loves me and I know I’m not the only one

If you stop caring about what other people think,
You’ll have a much better experience in life
Oh but, if you’re gonna go around saying that everything’s so bleak,
You might need to give it a few more tries
And I don’t know about you but I think
That everything is gonna be
It’s gonna be alright
Alright
Alright
Alright
Now there’s all these people yelling at each other
Demanding that the rest of us choose a side
Oh but I ain’t nothin’ to them but another number
Just to echo that their voice is right
I didn’t do nothin’, I’m just sayin’
That everything is gonna be
It’s gonna be alright
Alright
Alright
Alright
Oh I am who I am
And you are who you are
We bend with the wind
And bow to the stars
And we look to the future
When the world will be ours
As we open the gates
By opening our hearts
I am who I am
And you are who you are
We bend with the wind
And bow to the stars
And we look to the future
When the world will be ours
As we open the gates
By opening our hearts
Baba ghanoush, Baba ghanoush, Baba ghanoush

I’m sending my thoughts to your universe wherever you are
Are you still casting spells? Still reading the stars?
Still smoking dirty cigarettes like we used to do?
Just passing the time for a moment or two
Well, I still think of you often though I don’t speak with you much
I may be out of reach but I’m not out of touch
Well, when you find yourself some money to afford you some plans
Oh maybe I’ll see you in Portland
Oh maybe I’ll see you in Portland
And though we never were lovers, we never needed to be
Our friendship now infinite and infinitely free
And I hope you’re doing well; please write when you can
And maybe I’ll see you in Portland
Oh maybe I’ll see you in Portland
Maybe I’ll see you in Portland
Maybe I’ll see you in Portland
Maybe I’ll see you in Portland
Maybe I’ll see you in Portland
And you were one of the kindest souls I ever did meet
When I invited you up to step in from the street
Well, when the backpacker blues start settling in
Oh maybe I’ll see you in Portland
Oh maybe I’ll see you in Portland
And hitching Ireland was a pilgrimage, we knew it at the time
Searching the soul of your late grandfather and for yours and for mine
And if you find yourself still searching, the grass is green where I live
And maybe I’ll see you in Portland
Oh maybe I’ll see you in Portland
Maybe I’ll see you in Portland
Maybe I’ll see you in Portland
Maybe I’ll see you in Portland
Maybe I’ll see you in Portland
And we seriously thought we’d serve Peace Corps, but couldn’t bear it alone
Still it’s so beautiful to know we’re that much of a home
And homes are tough keeping, so I’m blessed this is it
So maybe I’ll see you in Portland
Oh maybe I’ll see you in Portland
But wherever we're living, we’re living the same
At home in a heartbeat when we waltz with the rain
But I’ve gotten better at dancing and I’ve started a band
And so maybe I’ll see you in Portland
Oh maybe I’ll see you in Portland
Maybe I’ll see you in Portland
Maybe I’ll see you in Portland
Maybe I’ll see you in Portland
Maybe I’ll see you in Portland
Maybe I’ll see you in Portland
Maybe I’ll see you in Portland
Maybe I’ll see you in Portland
Maybe I’ll see you in Portland

That Cosmic Feeling
05:20
|
|||
It’s that cosmic feeling
It’s that cosmic feeling
It’s that cosmic feeling
It’s that cosmic feeling
When these serendipitous times won’t leave you alone
Basking in your holiness and rattling your bones
At the gathering of peacocks or in the letters you wrote
Or to where this song disappears after it’s final note
It’s that cosmic feeling
It’s that cosmic feeling
It’s that cosmic feeling
It’s that cosmic feeling
When nostalgia is the master of your wise old soul
And your nomadic nature leaves you high on the road
Giving yourself to the universe to carry you home
Taking one last look at this world before you go
It’s that cosmic feeling
It’s that cosmic feeling
It’s that cosmic feeling
It’s that cosmic feeling
Oh sweet brightness of being
Oh sweet, sweet brightness
Oh sweet brightness of being
Oh sweet, sweet brightness
And we’re searching for some kind of freedom
Oh sweet, sweet brightness
Yeah we’re searching for some kind of freedom
Oh sweet, sweet brightness
It’s that cosmic feeling
It’s that cosmic feeling
It’s that cosmic feeling
It’s that cosmic feeling
It’s the combination of stars
It’s the combination of stars
It’s the combination of stars
It’s that cosmic feeling, cosmic feeling, yeah, alright
And we do not exist merely as a part of each other's realities,
But rather,
As a continuation.

Life Is Only Beginning
09:04
|

I’ve been making peace with myself and who I was before
I arrived to the state that I’m in
Bidding good riddance to the scars concealed by the costumes I wore
Which reached out for more wounds to befriend
And as I linger in the present, I’m left tracing the past
The cripples in the composition incomplete
But if I’m strong enough to stand, I will stand up to say
That the old tired cycle ends with me
Love wins, love will always win
I’ll say it again and again, love will always win
Love wins, love will always win
I’ll say it again and again, love will always win
Empowered women empower women
Who improve this world, this world we live in
Empowered women empower women
Who improve this world, this world we live in
Empowered women empower women
Who improve this world, this world we live in
Empowered women empower women
Who improve this world, this world we live in
And I’m tired of this hypersexualized society
Lusting after our vulnerable and justifying its greed
We’re neither ignorant, nor stupid, nor up for sale
So why do we tolerate living in this hell?
Oh we know we all deserve better, we deserve to be free
So please just take a moment to rinse and repeat
Singin'
My body is a temple and my body is for me
My body is a temple and my body is for me
My body is a temple and my body is for me
My body is a temple and my body is for me
My body is a temple and my body is for me
My body is a temple and my body is for me
My body is a temple and my body is for me
My body is a temple and my body is for me
Love wins, love will always win
I’ll say it again and again, love will always win
Love wins, love will always win
I’ll say it again and again, love will always win
Love wins, love will always win
I’ll say it again and again, love will always win
Love wins, love will always win
I’ll say it again and again, love will always win
And life is only beginning
And life is only beginning
And life is only beginning
And life is only beginning
And life is only beginning
And life is only beginning
And life is only beginning
And life is only beginning
