I met a man from the seven seas In the land of the brave and the home of the free He got Greek ways and nefarious means He say, "Give and forgive, and you get what you need" Hey dreadlocks and dirty jeans Yeah man, my hearts broke and its on my sleeve Let's sail it away to the panama breeze Where the Kuna dance on a white sand beach …all night I see people's confused and religion's the cause All them Buddha and Allah and Jesus and Jah I saw the truth on a bathroom wall Passed a spliff up to a prophet in the very next stall Ask me no questions and I'll tell you no lies Be a broken watch wearing Father Time If you pray to God, keep the Devil in mind If you look upon the world with the eyes of a child You can see…   Just what all this means. Theres a crushed Coke can in a fire that died Like a good old boy, drinking whiskey and rye Theres a one dollar bill at the end of the line Where you lost a good friend over fucked up minds Don't ask me no questions and I'll tell you no lies I'm a broken watch wearing Father Time I pray to God with the devil in mind Sometimes on the sea in the night I scream out loud

The Way I Go 03:11
As we travel round and round unbeknownced of where we're bound Each man's heart is whispering Ask him if he's listening If it's a windy trip to Heaven I guess I'll be alright Darkest part of night arrive Just before the dawn And it's alright to love me If you know that I must go Sail the sea where few men roam To see what's in my soul Sailed in all her glory Fast with all my faith I don't know where I belong  But the way I go is this Haul upon her fury Pass the way of grace Windy trip is all I know And Save me if I may Hold on when She rises Call down the men aloft Bosun play your whistle strong Don't make those widows walk Hear the spars a groanin'  Sheets are hard as stone The men inside the fo'c's'le Are all dreaming of their homes

Late at night I feel lonely God only knows about you I feel alright in the daytime Smile as the sun pass over my line From time to time you drift through my mind For a moment and it feels alright But late at night I feel lonely God only knows about you You said I could go and I could do what I need You'd be my rock while I could sway like a tree The thing about trees is that the roots run deep You were more like a stone rollin' away from me So late at night I feel lonely God only knows about you I travel in the night while my body's asleep To the banks of the river where our bridge used to be Now the river runs dry and though I know what it means My half a green heart finds it hard to believe And late at night I feel lonely God only knows about you

It's mine to walk a lonely road, a dark and windy sea There beneath the moonless sky the memories bring me peace I've Been beyond the reach I swear the places I have seen More magical and mystical than most men even dream The Oceans of the ancient world are calling out to me I was round before the earth and long before the sea As I stand at night between the Ocean and the sky My mind is free to wander and I spread my wings and fly Blow them down Boys Blow them Down And back to dust to see the origin of species Where life was but a struggle, a fermenting of the yeast Consciousness has not withheld a single sound belief Lessons lost in History have sown the seeds we reap Time goes on the worse it gets, it's just a bigger feast And flesh becomes a sacrilege with every evil deed Fellowships and followers of something in between Blood and bones gon' fill the land for men of broken dreams Blow them down boys Blow them down Twenty days from Africa, the islands are a chain The peoples lives who live on them resemble much the same Centuries of white mans' ships have fallen there like rain Still a song of Freedom's sung that someday things will change From far and wide, I cannot find a place where I can hide I see the way these people live is worse than how they die Toiling for evil men who beckon their desires If I were God, I'd drown them all or set them all on fire Blow them down boys Blow them down!

She's Gone 03:07
I was lying in a daydream 'round the middle of the night Thinking of the woman and I felt her by my side Sent a message in a bottle, didn't seal it very well It must've sunk along the way but she don't talk  So I can't tell She's Gone Forget about the distance  I don't care about the lies She keeps the memories in a box Sometimes she opens them and cries She was seriously seasick She was talkin' about God I guess that all I really know is She was here, and now She's Gone Swollen Eyes and Broken Lives Remember where you've been Theres somethin' bigger than us all I hope it comes your way again If theres a reason for these rhymes I wish She'd tell me what it is It don't seem fair that she moved on And left me back here wonderin' Why She's gone She's gone... I Spend these nights in city lights I cannot see the stars But I reflect upon the sights I took To find out where we are Together at the time You know the Heavens never lie And when I die, I'll wake up wonderin' How did our love go blind? While She's gone She's Gone...

Jihad 05:27
Forged in a fire far away from your home  Sent here to live in a bag of skin and bone  I want to know if I can affect your soul  When the sound of my song reaches your ears  Wind a blow  That's a soft wind licking at your Kundalini fire  Send your Spirit on a travel through space and time  Take a look back down from your place on high See the world and the way people live their lives  Wake little child let me show you what it means To live a lifetime on this earth is not as hopeless as it seems Take a memory from the distance when you felt the mystery You freeze the world and you rewind and know that everyone you see Has got a place inside the circle, it's the cycle that we feed I wonder if you could be you, imagine if you could be me Maybe we'd treat each other better, maybe find a way to leave I wanna go back to the One, I hope you wanna come with me At any given moment where two people coincide  You can see the light of love breaking through the cloudy sky  Looking for the place where God resides  And you're a wisp of cosmic smoke dancing in the night  You better rise up for the reckoning  The end of all this livin' comin' sooner than you think  You been far from home for far too long  But when confronted with a journey  man must heed the call  We don't have to fuck, we don't have to fight I feel a personal Jihad risin' up inside We Born and we Live and then we Love and we Die Food for the roots of the west coast pines Your with your momma on the stoop she say she think it's gonna rain And theres a rumble in the sky she takes your hand if you're afraid Feel her squeeze and you return it, it's a secret game you play Theres nothin' greater than this Love, I hope these memories never fade

Black Wind 04:34
See them in the color of the black wind rising Tell them all the things they can't do now Somewhere in the dark, there's children crying Weak in the slumber of a dreamless night See them on the hillside, oh they're fightin' Lock them in the basement with the parasites Woman in the window got a candle burnin' House a little dark but the moon gonna rise Again Strange the way We all want to pray Strange the way We all bow down and pray Take the cup and drink my blood Take the bread and break it up So that you may know my love My body will be given up Underneath the Bodhi tree Eat the rice and let it breathe Follow me into a sleepless dream Greater things you gonna never see again Strange the way We all want to pray Strange the way We all bow down and pray God, we've been calling but theres no way to reach you You left us alone here with a choir to preach to My brethren and me have got a lesson to teach you You kicked us off of Grace and it's a hell of a long way down It's a hell of a long way down

State of devastation all over the world State of devastation all over the world State of devastation all over the world 'Morrow let the humans come Tomorrow let the humans come It's a long road to travel if you don't know how If you get too high, it's gonna be a long way down Love the feel of silence, but I hate the way it sounds Listen to the room speaking to you As I state the devastation all over the world State your devastation all over the world State the devastation all over the world 'Morrow let the humans come Tomorrow let the humans come State of devastation all over the world State the devastation all over the world State your devastation all over the world 'Morrow let the humans come Tomorrow let the humans come
