DEAR MISTER
Dear Mr. Congressman,
I’m writing you today
With so many questions,
I hope that you can say
That you’re working hard,
And feeling really tired
After actually doing something
Today
Because I, I can’t take it
Anymore of your breaking down
No, I, I won’t take it
So put away your pride
And get working
Dear Mr. Senator,
I’m trying to understand
Why fear and hate
Are the tools of your command
Maybe this year,
You’ll make less of a mess
And actually callous your Hands
Because I...
And Mr. Governor,
You’re only human, but you act
Like you answer to no one
Well look now,
We’re asking questions!
If I were Neil Young,
I’d ignore ya!
By singing, la, la da da...
Dear Mr. President,
During your campaign
I thought you could
Start the sun and stop the rain
Please work hard,
And please stand strong
And I’ll do the singing for change
Oh I’ll sing, la, la da da
Because I...

Seasons
I feel as blue as winter
But I know the seasons change
This will all blow over
Once the sky brings on the rain
I feel like a spring flower
Pushing on past the cold
Stretching into the fire
And claiming my home
Old world to new world
Beginning’s hard
But I know I’ll find my way
Once I get my start
Old girl to new girl, I travel on
Moving through the fray, unharmed
I feel like a tree in summer
Blooming fuller with each dawn
And I will reach higher
It’s my role to carry on
Old world to new world,
Beginning’s hard
But I have found my way
Still knowing my heart
Old girl to new girl, I travel on
Moving through the fray, I’m going far
I feel as strong as autumn
Sharing all my colors with the wind
Singing loudly my own anthem
It’s always been within
Old world to new world,
Beginning’s hard
But I am on my way
and proud of each scar
Old girl to new girl, I travel on
Moving through the fray, I’m going far...

I Will Be Here

I Will Be Here
Slumber my child
Close your sweet eyes
Sleep so soft
And if you should cry
I will be here
I will be here
Peace my child
Hope in each day
Love in your world
For you I pray
And I will be here
Yes, I will be here
When the sun shines down
When the moon's aglow
When the rain comes
Falling at your door
You’ll know that
I will be here
Yes, I will be here
I will be here, always here
I will be here
Slumber my child
Close your sweet eyes

Slow Down

Slow Down
I came to battle my senses
Live free and drop defenses
And remember that we are one and
Peace is here for everyone
No need to be so guarded
Slow down
Slow down
Let my heels rest on the ground
Slow down
Slow down
Share the love around
So here I sit and wonder
Can we lose our money and our anger
And all the while we are connected
even more than I suspected
Worry and fear no longer
Slow down…
I have always been a dreamer
A fierce hoper and believer
Through it all the thread that binds us
Winds its way in and around us
With hope and all things are clearer
Slow down…

Your Song
If you need a song
If the day’s too long
If you need a song, this one’s for you
If you need a friend
All you can see is an end
If you need a friend, I’m here for you
Maybe a song can save a life
I’ll be the fool to believe
That maybe a melody a moment
Can make you dare to dream
Until then for you I sing
If you need a hand
All alone, you can’t stand
If you need a hand, I’ll reach for you
Oh...
If you need hope
Sadness is all that you’ve known
If you need hope, these words are for you
Maybe a song...
Oh...
Maybe a song...
If you need a song
If the day is just too long
If you need a song, this one’s for you
