HIGHER PURPOSE When you're feeling down So down that you can't Even come around To get up from your bed When you're feeling low So low that you can't Even say hello TO your best friend Give yourself a purpose So high And you won't even dies See, life is the purpose That I Choose to realise I've been there time and time again But through my will I got myself out Have a listen, please understand That you too can start to come about Don't let the emotion take over Or else you'll be closer to game over You have the power to choose better for yourself So why would you in sadness dwell?

May Be 04:05
MAY BE Our Self Dishonesties Manifest this world's atrocities And... No body SEEms to care Always "some-one" elses blame "Oh this world is so unfair" "It's not my Response-Ability!" Sinkin' ina polarity-game All lost in the dream of "dignity" Personal-Secrets are these world's "conspiracies". And there is always someone to save us, right? Call it god, buddha, Jesus, alah, Jah! Rastafar I "Forgive I and I" We say… As if we can't forgive ourselves in everyway. Now I ask you If this is what you see? You may, so, do And so you May-Be Comunism, socialism, monarchy, democracy, A deep leap for those faithfully asleep "Here's our vote, in you we trust" Aren't we a bunch of sheep For the pastor knows lust From the masses who rust This smells like hipocrisy Deceptive "reality" The american dream Is Earth's nightmare Exploitation of the poor Is the rich man stock share Lies and lure All entertained in ego care All sleeping under a "mind selfish dream" To whom belongs this air? All Loving All powerful Could you be that god? Or illusion fooled? I said All loving As all standing I tell you that such life you are Why be behind mind bars?

GOING WITH THE FLOW And when I wake up I go with the flow And when I move I go with the flow And when I speak I go with the flow And when I dance I go with the flow There's something inside me Coming out to play I've always had it in me But I couldn't find a way See, I'm starting to see And I won't do it halfway I will be busy buzzing like a bee And I won't go astray Like the fresh air from a mountain top I keep moving I don't stop What once was no longer bounds Just a moment in me sounds I flow to the low and I grow I'm the river, I'm the see I'm the rain that soon will be Once again back to the sea

LOOK INTO MY EYE A poetical note does not compute with futile attempts of consciousness, it serves no such purposes. It is so much broader in its scope, Way beyond everything you have come to call "dope" For unlike a thought it does not prohibit, limit or morally bound, Anyone or anything against or for something -- it is sound A man as a thought is oh so easily confused; He thinks the sea is blue because the sky is blue too - when in truth is just how the light moves through Naive in his thoughts he throws them all against the reality of real beings, as ice cubes against the sun. The son of man will never shine unless darkness surrounds him. A poetical note is as such to translate what a mind cannot grasp, for how you see through thoughts does not recognize the life in the blade of grass. The poetical note speaks to more than mind. This that is the poet’s charm; is speaking not to the mind, but through the mind. With a profound communion, like the breath of life and death interacting – He speaks and he sees not within interpretation, but self-realization. Look into my eye And see the sound of silence Look up to the sky Beyond the light there's darkness Look into your eye Is there a trace of fear? Find out the Lie So that you may live Here It's what I've done It's what I do Let's Stand as One And Equals too The words of the poet pour from him with a meaning and purpose that is missed by most Those that hear and practice the inner sight will embark on a journey that transcend the questions Who am I ? Why am I here? Is there a God? What is the meaning of Life? For everything has already been revealed... And as we walk through the valley of the shadow of the dead Be still and know that Life is All Bring down all walls This is the poet's call
5.
RUNNING AWAY FROM YOUR LIFE I want to know Why you're running from your life Did you know We are here to play - and so Let me tell you now We ain't supposed to be fighting So why do we allow This inner confusion We can make this a better place We can stop this crazy rat race We can forgive and together we can live We can forgive and together we can live I understand it's hard to face the day But don't give up on yourself - don't give up Have no fear and know that you're here

Deception 03:48
DECEPTION Deception In all of us Deception A world of fuss From bankers To news anchors Broadcasting A broad cast Of roads leading To a "life" That doesn't last Its a strife The lie is rife Inside your mates And strangers There's hate And anger Suppressed Until it blows Not anymore as love dressed A demon grows Now you feel the lows Of the Now put this all together What do you think we will see? Survival control deceit As fears, as laws A big mess all together Until from all dishonesty we are free All are fit With flaws
7.
SUNNY SUMMER DAY Its a sunny day Its a summer day Its a sunny Sunday summer day Dawn sun rays enter through my window I open my eye I see the sky is clear I take a deep breath I jump out of bed I go to the kitchen to get my body fed I wish there was a beach in London I'd be catching some waves under the sun I put on my shorts, I get down to reason I'll jump on a plane and fly down to Lisbon

Mr Prophet 04:27
MR PROPHET The prophecy of profit made by the prophets of the survival of the fit-test Was never meant to be challenged by equal-net principle movement of the Desteni of man But as we see and will continue to see there is no hope left And no right that will right the wrongs of today's capitol That has been left to infiltrate and intoxicate the hearts and minds of all Only a BIG answer will provide a big solution for this immense problem we face This endless rat race escalating at an immense pace Surely leading to a no good situation for the majority Do you see what I see? It's the polluted sea, the dying bee, and the falling ancient trees of the forests of the world Are we the man who sold the world, Kurt? I know seeing this hurts... But drugs are no solution Just a momentarily escape that will leave more in confusion And leave you lifeless like a forestless ape You get me? Hey Mr Prophet (profit) What are you profiting about this time? I see no sign of you ever doing something for Life Why this pursuit of economic growth? Why this profit paranoia? Why all this irrational thinking that has only created problems and solved none? What kind of fun can a man have when his brotherman is bound by the not haves? Profit and poverty are two sides of the same coin - I tell you! To end one is to extinguish the other And all that we will be left with will be true love for one another Giving as we would like to receive No more reasons to each other deceive
9.
I COME TO YOU I come to you and you come to me, now We do it slowly - I will let you know how Open up and let me in Take a breath Feel my skin Hold my hand Hold me tight Feel alright Because you are my wife Move with me and feel my heat Let it be Be a hit Hold my hand Hold me tight Feel alright Because you are my wife
10.
Choice 04:05
CHOICE Choice is delusion Choice is the delusion We have no choice We have no choice Choice The final choice The choice that will end all separation All divided nations It's the final choice No ratio To Live it practically To Stop all choice Choice is Polarity Stop self formed through choice Be eye less, to SEE Be self less, to be Be HERE and ACT Then you will SEE We are eternal But we've been infernal We fucked up big time And only us to stop us see? In the breath we created this self In the breath we set ourselves free From our delusion Choice is delusion
11.
DEDICATION TO LIFE It's dedication to life That will lead me to see What is the lie And the truth inside of me Going up, going down In a cycle of desperation Fake a smile, a real frown It's an endless agitation In the city of the red bus It's been a day and a night and another day And still one more day Is on my way Before I may in my bed lay And now I go back to myself Breaking free from the spell My depression is no more For I have closed that door
12.
I FORGIVE MYSELF Sometimes I go down Down the wrong way Then I seem to not find The way back to play SO I stop take a step back and look At which lifeless road I took And I forgive myself I forgive myself For giving up on myself For giving up on myself Sometimes I feel low So low I can't feel no more I forget how to smile I forget how to flow But in that I don't stay for long Cause I know my remedy is strong I know I can always trust on this gift Of giving myself back to myself I won't waste my life Cause

Soundless 03:46
SOUNDLESS Sound is what EYE Found Words that forever Bound A Fear that SUDDENLY HOUND A Sound EVER VIBRATING setting in Motion all Hating Then I Remain forever Soundless As EYE wish for Love and look for help from above Words turn in my MIND Soundless to all Ears Words as Thoughts Only I can Hear Secrets of my fears Turning into Secrets of my Lusts and Musts So I Remain forever Soundless Then EYE hear Some-one Speak And EYE Become all Weak And My Words Sound Empty As I pretend Love Aplenty But Inside my Mind EYE am a Person of Another Kind Hiding Even from Myself Even before the age of Twelve So I've Remain forever Soundless Who will I Be when the TRUTH is Known And in a Breath my Cover is Blown My Whole Life was fake and spend in fears’ Sake Even calling this Life a Game Will never hide the Shame Will EYE ever be able to Forgive Myself Will EYE ever be able to forgive myself TILL Then I Remain forever Soundless
14.
Our Equality 04:15
OUR EQUALITY Life is an unsung song that is yet to be sung, And be known – for knowledge cannot ever know the now, it is always before the now, keeping worries in the here, now and after, and because of this disaster the disease of tomorrow becomes the hereafter. We will never get to be alive We will never get to dance tonight We will never get to be mighty If we don't see Our Equality There may be no care within knowledge and fear, and seldom does it relate to what is directly here. So indirect - but yet, there is togetherness. When together but not the same, there may never be expression for it will be suppression, movement in compulsion, breathing in thinking, and if it is yourself that your fear losing – Then caring truly is a problem. Life cannot be sung, for it is profaned, ignored and not truly cared for.  But if intimate in your introspection you become, self-honest with and as all things as one – Life will finally be sung.
15.
What is Love 04:07
WHAT IS LOVE I'll stand as you tonight I'll stand as you today We'll stand together as I It couldn't be any other way What is love But I as you Hands with no glove Open as truth What is love But us as Life None below nor above Oneness dive What is love But not standing lies This is be-love This is I a-live What is love But one as all Free as a dove None to fall And illusions Will be no more Fear is CON-fusion And such is war
16.
Mr Greedy 04:03
MR GREEDY There are some people in this world that are greedy Making this word a tragedy Most of the money in the hands of but a few Millions have nothing, not even to chew How can you justify such a thing? Mr greedy you must Give it away To all you're equal in this earthly stay Pass it all around TO all you're equal, you see? SO drop that phony crown There are some people in this world that are loaded Leaving most unloaded And in this system where money is more than life Most will be found in strife How can you justify such a thing?
17.
LOOK PAST THE FEELING You got to look past the feeling You got to look past the pain It's in your hands to start healing So don't be waiting in vain Who you are is your decision Look inside you and you'll see you're still here Things are moving on so don't be stuck in fear You're the one that you're looking for You're the one you miss so open up the door Life is not a game, you can't go back in time And load up the moment when everything was fine Now you got to make the changes that will bring the best So that your life may be fully expressed
18.
LIFE AND DEATH Everything I gather Doesn't mean anything It takes a moment For me to "go" And all that is left Are ashes that the wind will blow   I won't stop and I won't rest Until I become the best I can be in this life So that at death I stand as I face all of me
19.
Equal Money 03:26
EQUAL MONEY In this world Where money is god Dictating everyone's existences Some are gods But most are slaves Of these money made Circumstances Money It's the root of war It's the root of crime It's the root of many of your Worries in this lifetime Money It's in everyone's minds As thoughts that us all binds To the fear of not having enough Will it be tough? Will it be rough? Without money in today-s society Soon you'll face your mortality That's why I say Equal money for all Equal money for all Equal money for all A guaranteed life for all - Some people say and feel everyday Money Without you I won't eat Without you I'll be in the rain And it will be hard to sleep Under such pain Money Why is there so much of you In the hands of so few While over a billion knows famine These few their billions examine This ain't no political ideology This is the stand for Equality That's why I say
