-In dreams she spoke-
I see the light in your eyes
In dreams you float across the skies
and I know it will be ok
the path you choose
is yours
I’m glad to say you walked with me today
tomorrow maybe the stars
the garden that you grow
with translucent wings you soar
for evermore
no weight of sorrow will hold you here
last night your smile made all that clear
love is more than space and time
it has no walls of body and mind
I feel it through me like a gust off shore
your soul is free
as it was before
Thank you for the dreamland stroll
and the wisdom that a life can hold
as morn gives night awaited rest
i feel a peace beneath my chest
heart is full of love for thee
what is next they say will be
until that time from dreams i see
a sign from you
a sign for me
a sign for all if choose to see
this life cannot a beggar be
to offer love in light and shade
is all we can give

-Sooke Hiway-
when the rain is done
and the wind is gone
when the storm has left
moved to hongkong
when the road is clear of all those trees
all you feel is the summer breeze
on the sooke hiway
on the sooke hiway
yeah yeah yeah
when you rally car through
those twists and turns
like a stockdriver first
whose losin his turn
on your way up the coast
on two or four wheels
its a rush at least
stop at shakies for a meal
on the sooke hiway
on the sooke hiway
yeah yeah
on that sooke hiway
you can get what you want
you can find yourself wasted
wanting just a little more
ive seen flowers bloom
and i what them die
askin that question
how many times will the road make people ask why
on the sooke hiway
on the sooke hiway
yeah yeah
wise men come from the north
neive ones from the south
all come here for the same reason
try to just figur it out
figure it out
figure it out
on that sooke hiway yeah yeah
on that sooke hiway
you can get what you want
you can take it on down that way    repeat once
last stop port renfrew
fairy lake
maybe sneak on up to shawnigan

-Neverland-
there was a time long ago
when the world didnt know
the lilkes of you
your crusades through
this sacred land
and you hold the future in hand
dolin out your pay at will
and you got you got the magic pill
she remembers her elders
they help her cope
help her cope
ahah
and she thinks what it was like
before the car
before the war
before the greed was ever a need
and she wants
and she needs
and she begs
and she bleeds
and she knows oh she knows
its gonna come
and she thinks what it was like
before the car before the war
before the greed was ever a need
before you take my soul
before you take everything I have
and leave me all alone here in  neverland

-Oldman War song-
Take me take me away
To the trenches where my grandfather
Lost his mind
Show me show me
What it meant
What it meant
Watchin the  tv
History channel today
No news is good news
No news is good news
So they say
Seein the bomber
Watchin the victims tell their tale
Do you know why
You’re here today
Could you even try to see things their way
He has to wake up with that mushroom cloud everyday
And live the samelife we complain about
Take me
Show me
Hold me
Know me
Close your eyes and let the world see your mind
Your mind
A bomb nightmares followed by
Bard wire abrasions
Mine for the enemy
Mind on going home
Stories seem so far away till you here it from your own
Let them take you away
To the trenches
To the death camps
To the edge and back again
just take some time in this meaningless rush for more
And contemplate if it where your feet rotten from the war
In the trenches so far from home and your mind in overload
It wasn’t all just I-pods and allowances
Videos and pretty people
Better offspring and a glasshouse dream
Take me away cause this is what I mean

ill sit right here with you and bid my time

i walk all this way
and theres a gate
i feel the light

i feel the light down in  my soul
its a revival
its a revival

its a revival
