In What Spirit?
In what spirit do you Drink me in?
In what spirit do you care?
In what spirit do you toss the dice?
When no body seems to be there?
We’re living in a day dream
We’re living in a day dream
Living in a day dream
Living in a day dream
In what spirit do you take the plunge
In what spirit do you love
In what spirit do you call my name
Is it spirit from above
We’re living in a day dream
We’re living in a day dream
Living in a day dream
Living in a day dream
So let it all hang out
Show em what you’re about x2
Cause we’re living in a day dream
We’re livin in a daydream
Scatting....
In what spirit do you take a puff?
In what spirit do you say enough?
In what spirit do you Think it twice
In what spirit do you pay the price
So you can wake up with a smile on
your face
You know its gonna work out
You know it’s gonna work out
In what spirit do you
In what spirit do you
In what spirit do you ?

Sick
If I had just one wish
You would not be sick
If I had one thing to say
I don't understand your pain
Live for it all
Love til’ you crawl
Persons next to you has their truth
It's not the same for me and you.
This could be their last day
You won't understand til’ it comes your way
Live for it all
Love til’ you crawl
The sick ones have no company
They are on bended knee
healthy ones are scared of it all (are scared to fail)
They'll even judge you as you fall (as youre on the rail
Live for it all
Love til’ you crawl
Give it one more day
Give it one more day
Don't tell a person it's all in your head
It will drive them straight back to bed
Recouping injury it's an insult
Remember sickness is not their fault
Live for it all
Love til’ you crawl
Live for it all
Love til' you crawl
Give it one more day
Give it one more day
Give it one more day
Give it one more day

Fat-Hearted Woman
I'm a fat-hearted woman
Won't do you no harm
I'm a fat-hearted woman
Won't do you no harm
When I hear that whistle blowin'
Know it's time to move along
You stay up past mid-night
Get up before six
drink away your dollars
and you won't budge an inch
you wonder why our chemistry
has gone down the drain?
Well it takes too much to get past
Your hard headed pain
I'm a fat-hearted woman
Won't do you no harm
When I hear that whistle blowin'
Know it's time to move along
I'm a fat-hearted woman
Won't do you no harm
I'm a fat-hearted woman
Won't do you no harm
When I hear that whistle blowin'
Know it's time to move along
It's a keystone in your corpse
Your discrimination fails you
Your passive aggressive ways
are the things that impale you
Your a zombie in the daytime and
a menace at night
Used to think you had the answers
now I know I wasn't right
I'm a fat-hearted woman
Won't do you no harm
When I hear that whistle blowin'
Know it's time to move along
I'm a fat-hearted woman
Won't do you no harm
I'm a fat-hearted woman
Won't do you no harm
When I hear that whistle blowin'
Know it's time to move along
Your roots are in your feet
Your a circulating tree
You branch out for connection
But you fear all my affection
You say fear is the answer
I say that you're wrong
Being free is the only way
That I wrote this song
I'm a fat-hearted woman
won't do you no harm
When I hear that whistle blowin'
Know it's time to move along
Chorus
You say I stick out
Like a sore thumb
Cause my heart beats
Like an old drum
Well one and one is two
and two and two is four
I'm getting ready baby
to even out the score
I'm a fat-hearted woman
Won't do you no harm
When I hear that whistle blowin'
Know it's time to move along
Chorus

I Love You
Thinkin' about what I'd say to you
If you were right in front of me
Would you let me set the scene?
Could I look at you lovingly?
I love you
When I see you
Before we met I knew
I was meant to be with you
I was meant to be with you
Oooooo ...
I feel stronger in your presence
Love the way you stop to care
In my memory your face
No rush no perfect
Just a beautiful grace
I love you
When I see you
Before we met I knew
I was meant to be with you
I was meant to be with you
Oooooo ...
It might not mean a thing to you
But it means something to me
After your gone
I'll still be here
Thinkin' about how to make it clear
Thinking about how to make it clear
Ooooo...
I love you
When I see you
Before we met I knew
I was meant to be with you
I was meant to be with you
Oooooo ...
Nothing lasts forever still
It always fades away
But can we clean the slate?
No rush no perfect just a beautiful grace
I love you
When I see you
Before we met I knew
I was meant to be with you
I was meant to be with you
Oooooo ...
No push no hate
Just a beautiful grace
No rush no perfect
just a beautiful grace

Made to Wander
If I lose the ability
to walk, speak, or breathe
Know I was meant
I was meant to leave
If I lose the ability
to tell you that I care
Know there is love
Everywhere
I was made to wander
I was made to roam
I'll always call where my heart is
Music is my home
Instrumental
If I lose the ability
To dance, sing and pray
Know I wasn't meant
I wasn't meant to stay
I was made to wander
I was made to roam
I'll always call where my heart is
Music is my home
x 4
*Originally I wrote the last line as "Rochester my home"*

She is Not Helpless
She is not helpless
With her song so loud
She vibrates the sky
Colors out the lines
Far past what she thought
She is not helpless
though she feels she is
She must sing
To understand her song
She must listen
to find what
she's wanted for so long
Let us find a way to stay
to stay
Let us find a way to stay
to stay
She is not helpless
With her dance so strong
Removing all doubt
Shedding all this light
Reminding the dark
She is not helpless
Though she feels she is
She must dance
to understand her dance
She must move
to find what she's
wanted for so long
Let us find a way to stay
to stay
Let us find a way to stay
to stay
She feels the world is crumbling around her
But she still knows what she can do
Look into her eyes
Her soul wants to speak to you
She dance she sings
she dance she sings
she dance she sings
she dance she sings
She is not helpless
with her touch so soft
She loves with her heart
Melting all her fear
Fear told her she could not
She is not helpless
Though she feels she is
She must touch to understand her touch
she just feel
to heal what she's wanted for so long
Let us find a way
to stay to stay
Let us find a way
to stay to stay
She is not helpless x3

Cloudy Haze
I was standing in a cloudy haze
Ready for everyone to peace
And the only thing that would satisfy me
Is making the blind man see
Not scared to run
but scared to breathe
It's got me feeling all sorts of crazy
how to be is a mystery
somethings got me feeling so lonely
Seven tears
I cried for you
Six of those tears
I cried for me too
At five and a half tears I lost my fear
At four tears yeah it all became clear
Now I cry for the world inside
Now I cry for the world inside
Now I cry for the world inside of you and me
Now I cry for the world inside that wants to be free
I must confess my misaddress
It washes around inside of me
And the only thing that would satisfy me
Is making my insides believe
oh is making my insides believe!
Seven tears
I cried for you
Six of those tears
I cried for me too
At five and a half tears I lost my fear
At four tears yeah it all became clear
Three more tears I lost control
at two tears I renewed my soul
Now I cry for the world inside
Now I cry for the world inside
Now I cry for the world inside of you and me
Now i cry for the world inside that wants to be free
One more tear to go to go
One more tear I know I know
