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

Treason

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

See The World

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

One Road

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

Oh My Lord

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
