If I Was a River

I’ve got a bucket in my hands but the river’s run dry
I’ve got a bucket in my hands but the river’s run dry
I’ve walked the miles I’ve travelled this land
I’ve walked many miles oh to get where I am
I’ve walked many miles oh to get where I am
And if I was a river would I ever run dry
Or would I drink the rain and the mountain snow
Fall in love with every sky, oh fall in love with every sky
Trying to listen to the trees but the wind won’t blow
Trying to listen to the trees but the wind won’t blow
Oh I’ve lain to rest beneath the oak and pine
Beneath the branches like fingers intertwined
Beneath the branches like fingers intertwined
And If I was a tall tree would I ever blow wild
Or would I dig my roots in this solid ground
And just settle for a while, oh settle for a while
If I wait long enough will the mountains move
If I wait long enough will the mountains move
I’ve got a lot to give oh and little to lose
And I’ve travelled this far just for something to prove
Oh I’ve travelled this far just for something to prove
And if I was a mountain would I tumble and fall
Or would I hold the earth like it once held me
When I was nothing at all, when we were nothing at all

Oh my love I will tell you one thing that is true
I would leave this old world to cross each ocean next to you
I would leave leave leave, I would leave this old world
Just to cross each ocean next to you
Oh my love I will tell you one thing that is true
I would stay up all night to watch each sunrise next to you
I would stay stay stay, I would stay up all night
Just to watch each sunrise next to you
Oh my love I will tell you one thing that is true
I would run away today to walk each forest next to you
I would run run run, I would run away today
just to walk each forest next to you
Oh my love I will tell you one thing that is true
I would sleep under the sky to dance each starry night with you
I would sleep sleep sleep, I would sleep under the sky
Just to dance away each starry night with you
Oh my love I will tell you one thing that is true
I would give all I have to wake each morning next to you
I would give give give, I would give all I have
Just to wake each morning next to you
Oh my love I will tell you one thing that is true
I would leave this old world to cross each ocean next to you
I would leave leave leave, I would leave this old world
Just to cross each ocean next to you

Ocean Song
03:14
|
|||
|
I watch the waves crash
they line the horizon
singing of all they've seen
rise and fall
life that we've wasted
love that we've tasted
prayers that we've sent up
to the stars above
I am chasing the songs of the ocean
and I am waiting to make sense of its call
Let my feet turn rugged from running bare
across the soil that holds us all
This air we breathe in
is the same as the treetops
same as the raven that rides
on the breeze
I breathe the salty air
it rolls o'er the grasses
carrying tales of skies
we'll never see
For we are all children
near the wild of the ocean
stretching for miles
across borders and time
And all we've broken
we know how to mend it
for each word we've spoken
it travels on the tides
I am chasing the songs of the ocean
and I am waiting to make sense of its call
Let my feet turn rugged from running bare
across the soil that holds us all
Our hearts are rooted
when we let them blow freely
our minds they open
when our bodies dance
So let us follow
the song of the ocean
lift up our voices and
lift up our hands
We are chasing the songs of the ocean
and we are waiting to make sense of its call
Let our feet turn rugged from running bare
across the soil that holds us all

Joshua Tree
04:08
|

|
Some say spirits travel across the air you breathe
Where the cactus grows and the skies are free
In this land where every rock seems to know your history
I am the earth and the earth is me
In the land of the mystics
I have solved my mystery
Just the rocks, and me
And the Joshua trees
If you open all your walls and close your working eyes
You will find the answers are as endless as the skies
You can seek the truth for years and never find it, or it can hit you like the wind
In this land where I am nothing I am more than I’ve ever been
In our words we find our anger
In the silence we find peace
Just the rocks, and me
And the Joshua trees
We are all just spirits flowing, the wind it led me to the desert sand
Maybe we’re only happy when we finally find somewhere to land
I’ve never been more alone
And I’ve never been less lonely
Just the rocks, and me
And the Joshua trees
