Lyrics:

The Journey of Medicine-King

Verse 1
In the realm of fleeting days,
Where conflict’s shadows loom,
Walks Medicine-King, Bodhisattva bright,
Amidst the world’s deep gloom.

Verse 2
Star-King-Flower raised a plea,
To Buddha’s wisdom pure,
“Why forsake the heavens’ bliss,
For hardships to endure?”

Chorus
Through trials deep and sorrows wide,
With love, we find our way,
In Medicine-King’s footsteps true,
We’ll see a brighter day.

Verse 3
Buddha spoke with gentle grace,
A tale of past revealed,
Of Medicine-King’s boundless heart,
With truths and love concealed.

Verse 4
In a life once lived, he cast aside,
Attachments strong and deep,
Even his body, free he gave,
In sacrifice complete.

Chorus
Through trials deep and sorrows wide,
With love, we find our way,
In Medicine-King’s footsteps true,
We’ll see a brighter day.

Verse 5
Through myriad trials and countless pains,
He walked with purpose true,
A beacon for all sentient souls,
To guide and to renew.

Verse 6
For in the depths of suffering,
The light of wisdom grows,
And through our own determined hearts,
The path to freedom shows.

Chorus
Through trials deep and sorrows wide,
With love, we find our way,
In Medicine-King’s footsteps true,
We’ll see a brighter day.

Verse 7
No matter what the trials be,
Or hardships that we face,
With certainty of our own light,
We move with endless grace.

Verse 8
Bodhisattvas teach us this,
Through stories old and wise,
That in our hearts, the truth is clear,
Enlightenment shall rise.

Chorus
Through trials deep and sorrows wide,
With love, we find our way,
In Medicine-King’s footsteps true,
We’ll see a brighter day.

Verse 9
So, let us walk with steady step,
In Medicine-King’s way,
With love and help from those around,
We’ll find a brighter day.

Chorus
Through trials deep and sorrows wide,
With love, we find our way,
In Medicine-King’s footsteps true,
We’ll see a brighter day.

The Journey Of Medicine-King

Down By The River

Undying Love

Within this quiet glen,
where folks from way back when
are gathered here to spend
the years until time ends,
under bright moonlit skies
and whipper wills soft cries,
each night two lovers rise
and dance a sad reprise.
Hope sparkles in her eyes
while their two spirits fly,
he sings her lullabies
of love that never dies.
Sarah Bella Springer
let our kisses linger
gently squeeze my fingers
as I hold you close,
Let's dance away the evening
till morning bids our leaving,
then I'll whisper that I love you most.
She was but seventeen
in eighteen-eighty-three
when true love came to be
and filled her heart with glee,
but spinal fever came,
to quench the passions flames
then fate revoked his claim
to share with her his name.
And in the following year
he also disappeared,
Another wagoneer
lost in the vast frontier,
Until they found his bones
and brought his body home,
no longer left alone
from the one love he'd known.
They laid him very near
his Sarah Bella dear,
and if you wander near their
graves at night you'll hear...
Sara Bella Springer
let your kisses linger,
gently squeeze my fingers
as I hold you close, 
we'll dance away the evenings till
heaven bids our leaving, 
then I'll whisper that I love you most..
......whisper that I love you most

One More Sunrise is a powerful reminder of the gift that each new day brings. It tells the story of perseverance—the strength to rise after every fall, to find hope even when the night feels endless.

This song is about choosing to move forward, no matter how heavy life feels. Each verse speaks to the struggles we face, while the chorus lifts us up, reminding us that every sunrise is a second chance to rewrite our story.

It’s not just about surviving—it’s about finding the courage to stand tall and embrace the light, even when shadows linger. This is a song for those who refuse to give up and for anyone who needs a little push to start again.

Great song suggestion homie

Fresh Tacos (Rock Ballad)

"Out of Reach" delves into the complexities of the human journey, acknowledging the inevitable struggles and suffering we encounter. It's not a naive optimism, but rather a realistic portrayal of the challenges inherent in growth. The song suggests that often, the very things we seek – whether it's understanding, peace, or connection – seem elusive, "out of reach." This creates a tension that drives the narrative and resonates deeply with anyone who has faced obstacles.

However, the core message isn't one of despair. Instead, it posits that this sense of being "out of reach" is a catalyst for transformation. It's in the moments of feeling lost that we are compelled to search, to question, and ultimately, to discover a deeper strength within ourselves. The "light within" is not a given, but something found through the process of seeking. The song emphasizes that this journey is not always linear or easy; it involves moments of darkness and uncertainty. Yet, it is precisely through navigating these difficult times that we cultivate resilience and uncover our inner resources.

[Lyrics]
Verse 1
I see you sinking, struggling, drowning in the deep
Caught in suffering's ocean, can't get no sleep
I offered you a lifeline, you pushed it away
"Not now, not this, maybe some other day"
So I gotta disappear, that's my strategic move
Sometimes absence is the only thing that proves
The value of what's always been right in your face
Creating that void so you finally embrace

Hook
When I'm gone, that's when you notice me (Notice me)
When I'm gone, that's when you finally see (Finally see)
When I'm gone, that's when you start to reach (Start to reach)
The help was always there, just out of reach

Verse 2
Your house is burning but you're playing with the flame
Poison in your system, you don't know who to blame
I'm like that wise physician with the remedy in hand
Stepping back so you finally understand
It ain't about my ego or getting your respect
It's about waking you up to what you neglect
Sometimes the teacher's gotta exit the stage
For the student to turn to the unread page

Hook
When I'm gone, that's when you notice me (Notice me)
When I'm gone, that's when you finally see (Finally see)
When I'm gone, that's when you start to reach (Start to reach)
The help was always there, just out of reach

Bridge
I never really left though (No)
I'm eternally present (Yes)
The guiding spirit flowing
Through your veins like a current
You think I disappeared (Nah)
But I've been here all along (Right here)
When you stopped taking things for granted
That's when my signal got strong

Verse 3
You gotta lose me to find me, that's the paradox
When I'm out of sight, that's when your mind unlocks
The hidden wisdom in plain view
The path was always there, waiting on you
I'm in the silence between your thoughts
In the space where attachment gets caught
I'm in the breath that you finally notice
When suffering gets real and you lose your focus

Hook
When I'm gone, that's when you notice me (Notice me)
When I'm gone, that's when you finally see (Finally see)
When I'm gone, that's when you start to reach (Start to reach)
The help was always there, just out of reach

Outro x2
So thank me for leaving, thank me for the space
'Cause now you're seeking, looking for my face
And in that seeking, you'll find what was true:
The strength you're looking for—that strength is you
