STAR SEEDS
I’m addicted to love and lust
soothe my dreams with magic and dust
and all that sparkles in the sky
It took me awhile, to love my sweet child
but now that I do, she’s my indigo blue
And I say deep in your soul
you’re perfectly whole
as beautiful as a tree
And I hear him playing my songs
telling us all along
you and I are just, just star seeds
And we were born pure
we were born pretty flowers
we were born to fly to the sun
and find our magic hour
Yes I knew how to run
and I knew how to hide
shoot myself in the arm
hurt so bad I wish I could die
And now I just want to win
this war with the blues
cause I’ve been there before
and this time, please don’t let me lose
Cause I’ll plant trees in the woods
past the rocks and the streams
climb desert mountains
follow moon dreams
Just let me thank her
for all that’s she’s done
I think she’d be proud of me
look how far that I’ve come
Don’t know how she saw me
pull me up from the crowd
Don’t know she heard me
I guess I was crying, crying out loud
I’ll grow trees in the sand
and pretty flowers wherever I am
to show you how I love you
the best that I can
show you how I love you
best that I can

BRAVE BIRD LYRICS by Martha Reich
IF YOU ONLY KNEW
Do you see her standing over there
With her raven hair flowing everywhere
She is strong and she is brave
So pretty and never afraid
Oh I wish I could be, more like
more like she
Do you see her swaying in the breeze
She is dancing so gracefully
She is sweet and she is free
Like nectar from a honey bee
Oh I wish I could be, more like
more like she
Look inside her heart
That’s where her beauty starts
Radiates light into the dark
And where she walks there is a spark
Oh where she walks there is a spark
Oh how the world sees you
My dear friend so true
If you only knew
How I love you
If you only, if you only knew
Do you see her soaring in the sky
Cause I didn’t notice as she went on by
I didn't see her unfurl her wings
She keeps them with her sacred things
Oh I wish I could be more like,
oh more like she
Cause that’s who you truly are
For us all a shining star
My dear friend so true
If you only, if you only knew
If you only, if you only knew
FADE AWAY
I got nothing left to talk about
And I got nothing left to say
No matter how hard I try
The words they slip away
I got nothing left to do
But I can’t keep still
Not sure what’s false or true
And I probably never will
But I just want to be so beautiful
I just want to be on your mind sometimes
I just want to be so precious to you
Like a flower opening on the vine
But I get lost in the clouds
Voices in the air
Everyone talking so damn loud
That I fly and I disappear
But I just want to be so beautiful
I just want to be on your mind sometimes
I just want to be so precious to you
Like a weeping willow along the Rhine
And when I fade away hey, I want to be
A sweet mystery
When I fade away hey, I want to be like the sea
Turning green and blue and grey
When I fade away
And I can’t recall where I am
Or remember your name
I love you all just the same
I’m just waiting here for the rain
I just want to be so beautiful
I just want to be on your mind sometime
I just want to be so precious to you
Like a pink and white valentine
When I fade away
I want to be a sweet mystery
When I fade away hey, I want to be like the tree
Turning green and red and grey
When I fade away
When I fade away
When I fade away
SO BRAVE
I held my breath like a Christmas tree
Before it’s cut down on that sacred eve
All I wanted was to never be found
So I would never make one single sound
I held my breath like a lullaby
Perched in a branch just a little too high
All I wanted was to sing
I was too afraid of so many things
The birds they’ll take it all away
Every hurt that you’ve ever sustained
Now you’re riding that tidal wave just trying to be so brave
Held my breath like a flickering flame
Underneath the thunderstorms and the rain
All I wanted was to kiss the sky
But I was too afraid that I might die
The birds they’ll take it all away
Everything that made you so afraid
And now you’re riding that tidal wave
Just trying to be so brave
But every breath that I never take and every time I made a little mistake
Oh I was dying just trying to be
I held my breath like a butterfly’s wings
Sewn together by a little string
All I wanted was to fly away
I was too afraid so I stayed
The birds they fly every day
No matter what anyone says
And I’m going to be just like those birds
Just you wait and see
THE RIVER
I thought I was crazy
I realized I was alive
My mind’s like a spiraling shell on the changing tide
and I’m just waiting here for the moon to rise
I was born as a raindrop in a storming October sky
and down below me the land was eternally dry
and I’m just waiting for the right time to fall down
I am the river that flows by your door
when you're praying for something
and you get so much more
oh I am, I am your flood
I am the tear that falls from your eyes
when you're feeling the pain and you don’t know why
oh I am, I am crying
I am the water that runs through your veins
I am that feeling when your cold and insane
I am the winter that lives in your bones
oh I am the longing you knew me when I wasn’t so old
I am the rainbow that hides in the clouds
when the thunder comes out and the sun is loud
Oh I am, I am your hope
I am the wine that flows through your blood
I am the longing we all know of
I am the wind that blows through the trees
Oh I am the river,
Please don’t forget me
I'D RATHER BE SURPRISED
Don’t ask me no more questions
Cause I don’t know anything anymore
Don’t know what color the sky is
Been looking too long at the floor
Don’t know what day it is
that’s ok I don’t mind
I’d rather be surprised
Most of the time
I’d rather be surprised
Though it knocks me off my feet
I’d rather be surprised like a newborn baby
I’d rather be surprised though it always makes me cry
Like how the sun looks when it goes down and rises in your eyes
Don’t ask me no more favors
Cause I’m all out of good deeds
I got holes in my pockets
From crawling on my knees
Looking for that perfect love
That lives inside of me
I found yours just in time to set each other free
I’d rather be surprised
though it knocks me off my feet
I’d rather be surprised like a newborn baby
I’d rather be surprised though it always makes me cry
Like an old man laying in his bed the day he says goodbye
I’d rather be like a newborn baby
I’d rather be like a newborn baby
I’d rather be surprised
Over The Rainbow Lyrics by E.Y. Harburg
Somewhere over the rainbow way up high
There is a land that I heard of once in a lullaby
Somewhere over the rainbow skies are blue
And the dreams that you dare to dream really do come true
Someday I’ll wish upon a star
and wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where troubles melt like lemon drops
away above the chimney tops, that’s where you’ll find me
Somewhere over the rainbow skies are blue
And the dreams that you dare to dream really do come true
If happy little bluebirds fly
Over the rainbow, why oh why can’t I?
