The Spirit of Endurance
The spirit of endurance
Was in a big old tree
I went into her belly
And she rocked me gently
She rocked me gently
We looked out at the fluffy clouds
Floating under the great sun
She whispered in her way
That we are all one
The silence of the desert night
As if I'd always known
The fullness of the emptiness
Absorbs me as it's own
Under these desert skies
I know why I’m alive
I don’t ask questions why
The tin tin tarna flies
The tin tin tarna just flies
The messenger arrives
In my life long journey
I’ve sought the truth that’s there
And what I’ve found
Is simply profound
That love is everywhere
The love is everywhere
That love is everywhere
The love is everywhere

Obvious
The first time I saw you
was down at Mindle beach market
you were stage managing for some
cultural event happening there
and oh I thought you were so cool
I could have lived forever
In a grass hut you built down there
Living off love and coconut milk
Love and coconut milk
Love and coconut yeh yeh yeh
Wasn’t it obvious
I was in love with you
Well, time waits for no one
And I found myself in a classroom with you
Learning about technology
Music and the industry
Wasn’t it obvious
I was in love with you
I asked you to a BBQ
You didn’t bring your girl with you
O o that was a mistake
I was cleaning squid at my kitchen sink
I squirted you with purple ink
Oh I didn’t mean to
But wasn’t it obvious
Wasn’t it obvious
I was in love with you
You were cooking coconut milk desert
You were standing there in my favourite blue shirt
Wasn’t it obvious
I was in love with you

Living Water

Living Water (The Promised land, Bellingen)
Living water down from the mountains
Living water I see
Tall trees reaching into the blue
Children laughing diving into the cool
I’m so grateful, thankful
I’m so grateful, thankful
that I’m here, that I’m here
that I’m here, that I’m here
Living water in the Promised land
Living water I see
Reflections glitter
All around shimmer
God’s sacred garden in the never-never
* Cause all around I see things are growing
And all around life just keeps on going
And I believe we will survive we will survive
If we choose to love we will survive
We will survive
Living water sacred and divine
Living water since the beginning of time
All my dreams and fantasy’s are
Manifesting in this very hour
I’m so grateful, thankful
I’m so grateful, thankful
that I’m here, that I’m here
that I’m here, that I’m here

Arnhem Land Man

Arnhem land Man
We met in the park
Reconciliation Day
He borrowed a guitar
And sang to me
He sang me
I was entranced
I heard his call
Never have I heard
Such a spirit voice before
Arnhem land man
Arnhem land man
He was longgrassing
Carrying nothing
We made fire
Under ancient stars
Ancient stars
Years are passing
He’s non-stop drinking
Too much weeping
The sacred has been taken
The sacred has been stolen

Darwin Night

Darwin Night
Beautiful breeze blowing in from the sea
soft on my skin like a lovers kiss, lovers kiss
Beautiful breeze blowing in from the sea
On a hot Darwin Night
In September
Crescent moon hanging in the galaxy
Subtle light path on the sea
Stars sparkle and shimmer there
Sand of velvet
And scent of mermaids hair
Beautiful breeze blowing in from the sea
Soft on my skin like a lovers kiss
Beautiful breeze blowing in from the sea
On a hot Darwin Night
In September

Afro Birds
Let me tell you a story
I was lying on my bed this morning
I looked up at the sky blue sky
I saw two birds flying high
If I was a bird I’d be flying high
There they are, there they are
Two little black dots in the sky
So high, so high
little birds in the sky
High like a bird, high like a bird, high like a bird
Up in the sky.
Let me tell you a story
I was lying on my bed this morning
I looked up at the sky blue sky
I saw two birds flying high
If I was a bird I’d be flying high

Everything is Relative

Everything is Relative
Everything is relative, according to our minds
And everything is relative according to the times
Life’s a spiritual journey, between birth and death
Life’s a spiritual journey, between birth and death
The journey twists from the start
To accept myself then I can play my part
And honesty is hard to hear
When I’m surrounded by my fear
Confusion comes like it does saying
What is this thing called love
But I can’t stop believing its true
Love’s the answer for me and you.
Oh yeh yeh.
All the cycles that have past
Black as night and the morning light
Believe or not in a God
We should seek the truth from within our hearts
And love comes like it does
With kisses and hugs yeah
But the depth of joy is the depth of pain
It we’re just looking for someone to blame
Oh yeh yeh
Respect to my teachers
Who have handled my punches
For love comes when I’ve learned
That my fear is my own worst enemy
And tears fall like they do when
Fantasy fails living
Remember
Contentment is a priceless gift
Paid for with thanks giving
Oh yeh yeh

Flying High

Flying High
I gave you my hat cause you look so good it that
I gave you my coat too
People in the street they look at you
I gave you my heart
Cause I couldn’t keep it in
Wanted to say I love you but
I thought it was too soon
You came to see me on a sailing ship
You floated right into my harbour
We ran into each-others arms like
there was no other
And it’s so amazing
So familiar but interesting
I think we’re two of a kind
I’m flying,
High with the eagles
calling me
Cause I’ve seen the sea eagles there
The’re flying all around above him
Their saying the door is open
I’m flying,
High with the eagles
calling me

Know Yourself

Know Yourself
Children, children listen to my words
I am getting older and
There’s some things I have to pass on
Nature is our teacher
Our mother we must love and respect her
Water is the sacred life force
We must treasure it more than gold
Know yourself
Life can be hard
We have to go through the fires
But you must believe you will survive
We must believe the spirit will keep us alive and
Don’t look to the stars to find heaven
If you look to the earth you will find
The answer in yourself
Know yourself
Children, children hear my words
Only through love
Can truth and beauty be preserved and
Only through love
Can true meaning of life be revealed and
Only through giving
And in giving thanks
Can you be fulfilled
Know yourself

Still in Love With You

Still In Love with you
Why is it after all these years
When I saw you again my heart skipped
Out of its skin
Serendipity and all her wisdom
The perfect time Perfect place
she brought us back together
Face to face and I
Thought I was cool to see you again
But I’m right back, right back
To where we started this thing
Cause I’m still in love with you
Yes I am still, in love with you baby
I am still in love with you
And how many times can we
Make love like that
Before we’ll know that we can never
Part again
And I curl myself around you
Kiss your face all over say I love
As I run my fingers
Through your sweat drenched hair
And I dare you
Yes I dare you to love me
To be with me and love me completely
Cause I’m still in love with you
Yes I am still, in love with you baby
I am still in love with you

This Two Will Pass
04:13

This too will pass
There’s a time to be born
And there’s a time to die
A time for sweet kisses and
A time to say goodbye
A time to make love
And there’s a time to fight
Stand up, stand up for your rights, girl
In numb feeling cornered and untouchable
Denial morphs insanity
Where truth becomes an ache in me
Tinnitus heart stop this crazy, crazy beat
Crying dying
But this too will pass
This too will pass
Natures breath
Kind and warm against my naked skin
Relaxed and content beneath this shady tree
Thoughts so grand of awesome devotion
Bowing down to love
And expanding into the sky above
