Track Name: Sweet Green
A fly is a fly if you tie it right
Bring some hope, some smoke and a boat that floats
You will spend hours learning how to let go
It's going to show you what you're looking for

On it you will disappear
It's gonna make everything so clear
Oh the sweet, sweet green
Oh the sweet, sweet green
If you float it you will know what I mean

She left me yesterday but here I don't care
The Empire is going to fall but I have no fear
Track Name: Broken Locks
The locks have fallen off the door
We don't live here anymore
The gates are deep where the mud seeps
While the water weeps
Over your broken clasp
On the crisp blades of grass
Where you found my sound of letting go
Letting go
Take a look around
I'm bound on a trip I must go alone
Go alone
Go alone

The warmth the care
The songs among the air
I'm lost at your cost
You didn't pay the ticket for your fare
Your talk teases the thought of what could be
But we both know a tongue does not represent action
My tongue just sung
My sound of letting go
Letting go
Take a look around
I'm bound on a trip I must go alone
Go alone
Go alone

At first the worst was how we couldn't stop the time
Now my thirst for something new hurts
While everyone is screaming mine
Take it
I can see between the lines
You won't find a dark place to hide
From my cries of letting go
Letting go
Take a look around
I'm bound on a trip I must go alone
Go alone
Go alone
Track Name: It's Time
People gather 'round let me tell you a story
About a time and a place where the souls grew lonely
When the rich stayed rich and the poor stayed hungry
All these people felt helpless in their hour of need
But oh baby not me
Oh baby not me
It's time
For the people to lead

The man in the mask says he is just like me
That all you have to do is vote and you shall be free
Wrapping our fears around the illusion of safety
While the people wait for what is dictated on a T.V.
But oh baby not me
Oh baby not me
It's time
For the people to lead

A new born man walked into a University
With the knowledge in the shape of a box
With a one sided key
'You better build your credit if you want what you need'
So you can work for the bank just so you can eat.
This isn't for me
This isn't for me
It's time
For the people to lead

10,000 souls are drifting through Portland
Who know how to use their own two hands
We are marching off the map of another mans land
We are taking it back through community
If we just believe
If we just believe
That it's time
For the people to lead
Track Name: Do You Really?
The wind whispered and spoke to me
"Do you really know the worth of the air you breathe?"
I woke and spoke
"I see that the air is no different from me."
So I ask my friends with these humble words
Do you really know what this life is worth?

The rain it fell
It turned, tangled and overthrew me
It cried, "I clean the air that you breathe!
I go with river to where the ocean leads!"
So I ask my friends with these humble words,
Do you really know what this life is worth?

The Earth opened and roared "You are standing on me!
I clean the water that cleans the air that you breathe!"
As the Sun gleam down and beamed upon the rivers stream.
It read "Everything started with me, can't you see?"
So I ask my friends with these humble words.
Do you really know what this life is worth?
Track Name: Metropolitan Homesick (Naturesick) Blues
Two tires to the road
Using my legs to carry my load
Turning pedals to new levels
As the traffic never settles
Car after car
Counting the price of lives it takes when we drive
Counting the price of the pollution rise
The economic cries
No one can hide
When your cars fuel runs dry
You'll see my bike fly by and climb
This is the Rise of the Revolution of the bike

The only solution is a self sustainable revolution
Nature is the law of the land
We are just humans with irrational plans
Grabbing, taking, wanting land
It's time to tend to the plants
Growing green smelling sweet
Open your mind and see
Simple is the key
Lets plant some trees
Watch them climb
This is the rise of Mother Nature's Revolution that will not subside

I know my change might seem vein
But I don't know any other way to take care of this place
I was born to breath words of the worth
Taking your fears of this new birth
We are examples of how this Earth works
Changing change to change each day
Ride with flow that never strays
See it with your eyes
This is the rise of the Evolution that will no longer hide.
Track Name: Sometimes, All the time
My love she breaks just like an angel
She Cries "All god's ships have sailed along"
While the world says it's going to leave her
'Cause Man has done her wrong

So I try and tell her
Sometimes you just have to live in this song

Yes, the world is sinking
But we're still breathing
Sometimes we just have to let go
'Cause when this town blows
Where we go, we don't know
But right here is where we belong

My friend he waits just like a savior
He knows the lines have been crossed
While the world says "Just wait another day here.
Man has done you wrong"

So I try to show him
That sometimes you just live in this song

My Dad, he's been riding a tidal wave here
Since the day his store was tossed
While the Earth says "Your kind is leaving,
the battle has been lost"

So I try and tell him
Sometimes you just have to live in this song.
Track Name: New Road
I look back
Yes it has been a good one
I have ridden with the samurai's in the melting sun
I fought a dragon in it's fiery haze
I learned you can win by walking away
I built a house with stick and stone
I lit a fire with nothing, alone
I found some friends who pave a better way
I found a town where my head can stay

Now I see there is no better day than today

The sun still rises in these dark, dark days
The river still flows paving its own way
Climbing over a mountain pass we create a new road
Seeing everything that comes, must go

So as the sun sets
I look for a new way
I say my friends please live as you may
Help them see, there is no better day than today.
