Lyrics

Dawn of Tomorrow

Listen Brother to the music of the sun
His radiant eye lights the dawn of a new day
Speak to the sky
So he hears what you say

See my Sister how the moon shines within
Open your eyes to the light of reflection
Goddess of sight
Earth and moon introspection

Oh Beloved know forever can't be said nor spoken
The mystery lies in the new threads woven
Sing to the night
No bond will be broken

Father, Father feel the fire of our rage
Learning to die in a torrent of virtue
Uncover the lies
And the truth will not hurt you

Mother, Mother feel the love of every child
The tears and the smiles of a people wild
Mountains that die know the pain of your sorrow
And voices that cry bring the dawn of tomorrow

Home

Chorus:
Home
Where have you gone to
Home I can't say when's the last time that I found you
Home
Where have you been
Oh home, I long for you again

Lord I've been traveling
My feet, they've been working
I won't pretend to know
What's just around the bend
But I can say, as I'm on my way
Home, I long for you again

Chorus

Lord I've been dreaming
My life it's been speaking
And every time I close my eyes
There's somewhere new I've been
As I see the places I could be
Home, I long for you again

Chorus

Farm Song

Find another song
Find another song when the music stops playing
Find another song
Find another song it'll keep you praying

Digging in the ground
Remembering the life that resides in my bones
Digging in the ground
Remembering a life that I thought that I owned
We were linking life and the universe
Finding ourselves not alone

We found another song
Found another song that our spirits were playing
We found another song
Song that our habits could never be singing
We found another song
Song that the earth and the stars would be ringing

I entered a heart that was open
Was putting my ear to the ground, It said
Find another song
Find another song when the music stops playing
Find another song
Find another song it'll help you keep praying
Find another song
Find another song

The Choice

Fear has gripped my heart
I cannot move
I feel an opening and I'm afraid to let it through
Where will it take me
This is unknown
I have no one to guide me
But the prophesies have shown

Chorus:
If you follow the fear
Then the love can't get through
But follow the love
and the fear loses it's hold you

I have said yes to this life
I've made my choice
So spirit comes to guide me
And says you must use your voice
To share the love you're finding
To keep it strong
For this world keeps on turning
And you must keep moving on and on

Chorus

The pain is medicine
To guide your soul
The fear's a gateway
A guide to the unknown
The winds are shifting
That's all that's clear
So keep your heart attuned
To the guidance that we all can hear

Chorus

As Good As You Make It


A great big force of energy
Created this world we live in
Whatever name you give it
It all boils down to mean the same thing
The great force of your energy
Creates the world you live in
No need to despair my dear
For divine truth lives within

I once thought that this life was so unbearable
I cried all the time
Cause the world around me was so terrible
Till one day a friend said to me
You're the only one who can pull yourself into the light
And I cried and I cried
Till I realized he was right

Your life will only ever be
As good as you make it
You can let your fear drag you down
Hide behind your smile, but you know that you fake it
There's work to be done
Get yourself up off of the ground
There's a whole world in here
And love just waiting to be found

So I take this moment to give thanks
And remember that we're all one
We are the rocks, the trees
The stars, the moon and the sun
That your god and my god and their god are all the same
We are the fire, the water, the animals
The clouds, the rain
And this shadow beside me urges me to say it
Again and again

Your life will only ever be
As good as you make it
We are all one in a circle so strong
Nothing can break it
So live your life full and ferociously
And that is how your life will be
Live your life in joy and harmony
And that is what your world could be
If you want it to be

Because your life will only ever be
As good as you make it
We are all one in a circle so strong
Nothing can break it
So live your life in love and harmony
And that is how your life will be
Live your life in true integrity
And that is what our world will be

It starts with you
It starts with me


Mama's Message


What have we done to our world
What have we done to this once glittering green girl
When all she wanted was to love us
And for us to give her love in return
And now we've squandered it all
No love in Babylon at all

All the ancient prophesies are finally coming true
The planet is wobbling
There's 14 white buffalo, just waiting for those other 2
Waiting till those who don't know what to do
All fall down
Forget about the London Bridge
It's gonna be your city now

Going to see the wise ones
Ask them cause they hold it all
Go and see the mountain spirits
Ask them cause they've seen it all

They tell you stories of neglect and abuse
Heartbroken to have to discipline
Her ungrateful children so
Mama's gonna throw out fire
Mama's gonna throw out fire
Mama's gonna throw out fire
And make the oceans grow

She's gonna make the oceans grow and grow
Yes, she told me so
Mama told me so
She said this human race
This wasteful, sad, disgraceful face
Is gonna be real sorry real soon
Real sorry real soon
Real sorry real soon
 
It's what she said to me
This ailing but still beautiful green world
She said if you give her love
She will give it all back in return
Just don't squander it all
Put love back in Babylon
Or else it's gonna fall
Put love back in Babylon
Or else it's bound to fall
All the way down
All the way down

CornFEDS

Have you ever felt like setting fire to a cornfield?
Fire to a cornfield
Well I have
What's that you say?
That don't appeal
What if I were to say that it's a government cornfield

Experiment on population
Isn't nothing new
It isn't nothing new
You didn't know?
There's fallout in the air you breathe
Flouride for your thirsty needs
Don't forget that new vaccine
It's all about the TV screen
It doesn't matter who you are
Pregnant, young or elderly
You could be a lab rat too
Just get used to the food
Or join the army
They'll even pay you money!
All you have to do is sign a waver
Or two

Chorus:
The verdict's in
Their "science" LIES
It's poisoning the food supply
And covering their tracks
The war is on
What will you do?
Will you let them make a rat of you
Or will you fight them back

They will try to educate
"GM corn is good for you"
(Nevermind the cause of death
Amongst the rats we test)
They're only rats
They're not to be compared at all
You are more evolved than that
You run your car on ethanol
You buy your food "All Natural"
But have you wondered what that means?
Wondered what it REALLY means
It means it's made of CORN!

Chorus

Maltodextrin, lactic acid
Lecithin, ascorbic acid
Dextrose, maltose, lysine
MSG and polyols
Malt, malt syrup, malt extract
Starch (modified, unmodified)
Yeast, sucrose, treacle, xanthan gum
Fructose and sorbitol
Mono and di-glycerides, invert sugar, invert syrup
Glucose syrup, caramel color
You think we've got it all?
High fructose corn syrup, zein
Excipients and GDL
Anything with "vegetable"
and good old corn alcohol!

Chorus

Have you ever felt the need to make a strategy?
To make a better strategy
Well I have
I'm starting now
I'm speaking out
I'm letting loose the fires that annihilate my doubts
First I'll jab Monsanto's middle finger
Then I'll write a scathing letter
A left-hook to my senator about the FDA
I'll even use it's real name
An elbow to the crotch of it:
The Fraud and Death Administration
is here to make your day
Then I'll kick their shins in by
Inspiring the arsonists
Inspiring the arsonists to burn the seeds of suicide
I'll knock them their stride
Then I'll use my power move
The boycott is our power move
The boycott will turn the tide!!!!

Chorus

What's that you say?
You'd like to join the fray?
Your garden or a CSA is the place to take a stand
But if that's not enough for you
I'll offer up a word or two
If you ever feel like setting fire to a cornfield
Make sure it's not a farmer's field
It's not about the farmers
It's about the corporations
Who are buying out the government
Which subsidizes the farmers
So they're really less like farmers
They're more like indentured servants
So find yourself a government cornfield
And have a plan

Dave Jacke's Birthday Song

Life ain't what I thought it'd be
I blinked my eyes and 50 years went by
And all these young folks living my dreams
Sometimes it makes me want to cry
But they don't know this eldership
The life I've lived has taught me well
I still don't know quite where I fit
But 50 more will give me time to tell

Chorus:
What are we here to heal
The air we breathe, the soil we till
Or is it deeper still
The mind that draws the boundary lines

I see this earth
I hear her speak
I wonder how this life to live
My hands are black, my knees are weak
But still I give what I can give
Compromise of compromise
Who is looking through these eyes?
I offer up my life to this:
The seeing of all perfectness

Chorus

Overwhelmed, my plate is filled
I'd take on more but I really can't
Where is my home?
Where is my guild?
These aren't the seeds I thought I'd plant
But they will grow and leaf and fruit
And I will know them and know they're good
And I will come to understand
What I thought I understood

Chorus

Back to the Earth

Feel like I should be writing this dream
Continuous stream of consciousness
Flowing endless
My life never did seem too pure
But all that I'm left with and all that I'm sure of
Is my heart
My body left behind
Saturated with a pain that refuses to unwind
And a wire cage overhead
And birds singing
And electricity blasting through the air
You know that stuff that's all around
But you never think of
Blasting through everywhere
Everywhere I go
Every street, every square
There's a fortress of steel cables holding me in
And after a while
The caged bid can't remember how to sing
The songs of old
Can't remember the tales of the past
Can only remember the lies that unfold
As they rewrite a HIStory worth more than gold
That they stole from the mountains
And then sold
And then killed all the caretakers of the land
And then told everyone they were savages
And had to be banned
We don't even know the memory of this land we stand on
That's been plundered and shat on
For to burn
So we can rise from the ashes we came from
And break through our cage
This electric wire dungeon spiderweb that cover the world
And SING
Louder than any microphone
Cause you don't need one if you aren't singing alone
Don't need one if you can just get OFF the phone
And answer the call
It's your mother on line one
It's you mother
She's anxiously calling her son's and her daughters
To look up at the sun
To look down at the water
To realize something must be done
To escape from the slaughter you've been born into
Without a choice
Without a clue
Bred to kill for the rumors they're holding you to
Bred to die from the tumors that chew through you
Cause they've got you in prison
You're stuck just like glue
But you've still got light through the bars
Sunlight filtering through
Calling out to you to hold on to what's true
Hold on to what's green cause it's part of you
Hold on to what's green cause it's part of you
Listen to the heartbeat let it swallow you
Go down to the earth and I will follow you
Creep back out to the earth
And I will follow you
Follow you
Follow you

The Invitation

Whisper a word without speaking
See, as you silently sing me a song
As you begin walking down this good road
The surprise of intention will never grow old
If you pay for your passing with tales untold

Scatter these perfect obsessions
Spun by the mind in a web to behold
Already certain their gossamer love
Can be grown in the ground of a dead fantasy
All the while your heart's royalty beckons to thee

Now that your prayers have been answered
In moments of silence that bend there to here
Stay, and the master will surely appear
In the road or the vision bestowed on your mind
Yet you ask why this mystery's all that you find
