The Mother 03:50
Time means nothing, nothing, nothing at all Time means nothing, nothing Dadadada x 8 Da da da da da da da da da Sing to the garden sing to the sky One stop, and we fall to the ground Round and round and round and round Da da da da da da da da da Sing to the garden, sing to the sky One stop, and we fall to the ground Round and round and round and round Sweet abandon, time and space have no place here (we wave like water) calling you out to sea (never stilling to check shore) waving like waters at high tide (no final destination) calling you out to sea (lost in untime) drowning in love (what’s the meaning of nothing, I’m lost in feelings of untime) What is time, time, time Time means nothing, nothing, nothing at all Le coq chante, le jour paraît, tout s'éveille dans le village. Pour que le bon couscous soit prêt : Femmes debout et du courage ! Pilons pan-pan, pilons pan-pan, pilons gaiement.

The Sun 03:11
(Where am I?) Sunshine, sunshinin, fall into the earth (Oh no, no wait, I never had mercy) Sunshine, sunshine, I will never have mercy I broke the window again, damn, i kick it down, no mercy (Sunshine, sunshinin, fall into the earth) Oh no, no wait, I never had mercy (Sunshine, sunshine, I will never have mercy) Oh no, oh no, woah Woh oh oh woh oh Ha ha ha ha ha Woh oh oh oh oh hahahahaha Wohohooooo In the neck of the neck of the neck of the neck of the woods We lay At the foot of the foot of the foot of the foot of the river We play At the height of the height of the height of the height of the tree In the neck of the neck of the neck of the neck of the woods We dance (Where am I?) Sunshine, sunshinin, fall into the earth (Oh no, no wait, I never had mercy) Sunshine, sunshine, I will never have mercy I broke the window again, damn, i kick it down, no mercy (Sunshine, sunshinin, fall into the earth) Oh no, no wait, I never had mercy (Sunshine, sunshine, I will never have mercy) It's on the nose, and it takes like silver It's on the nose, and it takes like silver Yet it begs the questions your lethal soul can’t bare to ask Your patience talks, you’ll likely melt before you walk Sunshine, sunshine, sunshine!

The Lamb 03:08
Come all, come all to the garden Find the truth, find God inside Creeping inside of you, the sense of truth The sense of truth Come all, come all to the garden Find the truth, find God inside yourself Stranded on a planet all alone, but what’s that sound? We’ve come far along now Can’t break down Break down (In)side of you, the sense of truth, the sense of truth Creeping inside of you, the sense of truth, the sense of truth Tribes we have come far For feast and fascination We bask in all the colors In pools of conscious water And I know of many paths To the center of the garden We’ve seen a many colors They all conform to gold Count the many blessings From mother’s latest harvest I’ve seen my inner truth Under rocks we’re not opposed to Come all, come all to the garden (I have become the garden) Find the truth, find God inside (You’ll find the truth inside) Yourself

The Lovers 02:43
Ain’t it time we see the truth? (Boys, boys, boys ahh) Boys and girls they say they can’t play with us Ain’t it time we see the truth? (What do I do?) Boys and girls they say they can’t play with us (What do I do?) Sing, sing to the sky, I’m in love again I find it funny (Go find yourself, come again, learn yourself, come again) Fly, flying apart and creeping ‘round the river bed (Go find yourself, come again, learn yourself, come again) Ain't it time we see the truth? (come again, learn yourself, come again, find yourself, come again, learn yourself, come again) Boys and girls they say they cant play with us Under the wave high above Calcificate into love Follow God down the river of Truth Surrender to perspective Ahhh Boys, boys, boys, boys , boys, boys, boys, boys Ain't it time we see the truth? Boys and Girls they say they cant play with us

The Feel 02:02
The feel, the feel, the feel, the feel x4 (This this this this this this is is is is is your your your your your your your your last last last last last last last) I couldn’t feel anything Except our tides You play a little little, on my strings Always high (High high, high) (Your chance, your chance) Always high on you Just a little little little little Then the energy starts taking over me Starts taking over, starts taking over But I cant feel a thing (Can’t) feel a thing, can’t feel a thing, Can’t feel a thing, can’t feel a thing

The Child 03:11
Seven locks upon the red gates Seven gates about the red town In the town there lives a butcher and his name is Handsome John Brown I gave my heart to the Blue Ridge, The sun washed over, under clouds I saw myself in God, I knew that it was love, I felt the tender pressure of Truth Petit enfant, (il ne) faut pas avoir peur Si ç'est ton temp, (il) faut te laisser. Dis, repose-toi! (il ne) faut pas te cacher Viens avec moi, petit enfant Petit enfant, viens avec moi Petit enfant, petit enfant Petit enfant, écoute tes parents! Ils ne savent rien, mais t’en sais moins que ca Dis, repose-toi (il ne) faut pas te cacher Viens avec moi, petit enfant John Brown’s boots are polished so fine, John Brown’s spurs, they jingle and shine On his coat a crimson flower, In his hand a glass of red wine (Dream) Can you hear the river falling up the stream? The angels laughing back our discernment, no discernment Maybe we will find it, leading with our hearts Surrender to the fire and let it burn apart Petit enfant, (il ne) faut pas avoir peur Si ç'est ton temp, (il) faut te laisser. Dis, repose-toi! (il ne) faut pas te cacher Viens avec moi, petit enfant Viens avec moi, petit enfant Petit enfant, petit enfant

The Maiden 04:28
La la la, la la la La la la, La la la La la la, la la la La la la, La la la x4 Someone told me to make an impression Someone make me look in love Someone told me to make an impression Someone make me look in love Someone told me to make an impression (Someone in control of me, not me not me not me not me) Someone make me look in love (Someone else is in control, and i am not in love) Wooooah La La La, La La La La La La, La La La La la la la la la la la la la la la La La La (til end)

The Mystic 03:49
I’ll meet you in the clouds We blast off, we blast off Sunshine fights cross our faces (speak all the words and we’ll fall away) We can’t fall, we can’t fall (forward bound, forward bound) La la la la la la la la la la la la hiyeeeeeoooooo Go seek inside the mother, go laugh into the sun Reshape negative thinking Plant in your garden now Go seek inside the mother Go fortify your garden El pasto siempre, es más verde del otro lado Y en la forma típica de los humanos distraídos Atención hay extraterrestres Y como un bebe, y como un bebe Cuando tu veas algo, algo que sea un brillo Arrebata ese momento, que controla ese momento? Cuando tu veas algo, algo que sea un brillo Arrebata ese momento, que controla ese momento? Baila! I'll meet you, in the clouds We blast off, we blast off Sunshine fights cross our faces (speak all the words and we’ll fall away) We can’t fall, we can’t fall (forward bound, forward bound) Fall, we can’t fall Fall , we can’t fall

The Magician 03:50
It’s jubilee, we’ve come to sing It’s jubilee, we’ve come to sing It’s jubilee, we’ve come to sing It’s jubilee, we’ve come to sing All my anxiety making love with my peace Right on time for the vacation on the shores of my mind Swing low, sweet chariot Separate the gross from the subtle, The truth from the rubble, You’ll find yourself again, my son But why, can't you hear me love? Please have mercy, I surrender! Find a little space in heaven. It’s jubilee, we’ve come to sing It’s jubilee, we’ve come to sing It’s jubilee, we’ve come to sing It’s jubilee, we’ve come to sing
