Water 01:11
Tell me I’ve got water Tell me I’ve got bread Tell me I’ve got shelter and a place to lay my head Never been so far out, on my own Never felt so high, never been so alone Some days I feel like a mother-less child Some days I feel so much joy I could cry Some days I feel like a mother-less child Some days I feel so much joy I could cry Released December 14, 2018 Copyright Eli Lev & Eli Lev Music, LLC

Treason 05:50
Verse 1: Well I’ve been thinking That this is treason What I’ve been doing with my life My contributions To the system Have been minimal at best There’s another power That I’m after It’s coming straight from my chest Chorus 1: That’s why I take my soul down to the river And hold my head up to the sky x 2 Verse 2: Well I’ve been thinking That this is treason What I’ve been doing with my life The holy empire and their shiny weapons Have no power here The chutes and ladders The fame and dollars Have all been scattered in to the air Chorus 2: That’s why I take my soul down to the river, And hold my head up to the sky x2 Verse 3: I’ve been thinking That this is treason What I’ve been doing with my life There’s another power, That I’m after It’s taken me all this time to realize Chorus 3: Why I take my soul down to the river, And hold my head up to the sky x2 Bridge: Well I take my soul down to the riverside, And I hold my head up to the sky When they come asking, they ask me why, I just hold me head up to the sky Cause I’ve been down that road before, And it goes round and around So take my money, take my car Take my status and take my wage Take my future and take my name Final Chorus: I’m gonna keep my heart and gonna take my soul down to the river I take my soul down to the river, and I hold my head up to the skyyyy Released December 14, 2018 Copyright Eli Lev & Eli Lev Music, LLC

Verse 1: Well I’m on a train Goin to Chicago Are your big brown eyes Starin out a window Looking out on this big blue sky? x 2 Verse 2: Well I’m on that plane That you see up there Well I got you a ticket And all that goes with it Refrain 1: So come on let’s fly Oh I’d love to see the world with you Verse 3: Cause I’ve turned toward the east And I’ve come back west But it just aint the same, in sunshine or rain Refrain 2: I’d love to see the world with you, Well I’d love to see the world with you Bridge 1 On a highway road, all is sacred, you know As you move in the hollows of my mind Only the stars know where we’ll go Why don’t you come with me, this time Verse 4: I’ve been walkin’ these streets In cities and towns But the truth be told, It’s a lonely road, Refrain 3: I’d love to see the world with you, Oh I’d love to see the world with you Bridge 2 Well let it be known I’ve survived on my own With the only thing carryin’ me, the wind Yet wherever I roam With my makeshift home There’s a place for you To be, and breath with me Verse 5: Well I’m leavin today I hope you’ll say Refrain 4: I’d love to the world, I’d love to see the world, I’d love to see the world with you too Oh I’d love to see the world with you too. x 2 Oh I’d love to see the world, with you Released December 14, 2018 Copyright Eli Lev & Eli Lev Music, LLC

One Road 03:20
Verse 1: I’m feeling pretty good this time, I can see the leaves are smiling red into gold The wind starts moving in, it’s like I’m living in the stories of old Well I can hear the poets, Calling out in the forest They’re wishing me well Those bards of bygone times, are guiding me on Chorus 1: One road, I’m travelling on with two friends, I’m going round in three worlds, Have I been here before and when? Verse: I’m bringing my sharpened mind But leaving my bag behind It’s all in my heart The beat grows in my chest Melodies on my breath I’m ready to start I can hear the poets, Writing words about us What a story they tell Those bards of bygone times are guiding me on Chorus 2: One road, We’re traveling on with two friends We’re going round in three worlds Have we been here before and when? Bridge: Give me strange lands, with songs I never heard sung before Give me warm hands, to hold me when I’m feeling unsure One road, with two friends, three worlds, and four winds {Instrumental} Chorus 3: One Road, We’re travelling on with our friends We’re going round in three worlds Have we, have we been here before and when? I know we’re always on, One Road with our friends in three worlds with four winds Released December 14, 2018 Copyright Eli Lev & Eli Lev Music, LLC

Oh My Lord 03:53
Verse 1: Oh my lord, it’s been quiet on this mountain I ain’t seen the ocean for days on end My heart has been hardened by these rocks they’ve been guardin’ me and only the sea can cleanse me again Bridge 1: I have wandered through the valleys, been loved by the sky, abandoned by the deserts, on those cold starry nights, Refrain 1: All to find you waiting in the blue sunrise All to find you waiting in the blue, sunrise Verse 2: Oh my lord, please protect me on my journey may you watch over me in days of high and low let me sleep in safety and wake with all my wits about me find you in sunrise and thank you before I go, before I go Bridge 2: I have wandered through the valleys, been loved by the sky, Abandoned by the deserts, on those cold starry nights, Refrain 2: All to find you waiting in the blue sunrise All to find you waiting in the blue, sunrise Middle 8 Sunrise x 6 Bridge 3: M journey’s never over, as long as I’m alive You’ll see me through the darkness, and out to the other side All to find you waiting in the blue sunrise All to find you waiting just before the sunrise Outro: Sunrise, Oh my lord x 12 Released December 14, 2018 Copyright Eli Lev & Eli Lev Music, LLC
