Lyrics:-

I’ve always been somewhat of a determined dreamer
…Naively positive, an idealistic leaner
I see a way that things could be; a different schema
I lay it all out on the line, a future, cleaner
With greater awareness, where people care less
About material gain…they’d rather fairness
Amongst all beings under this sky so blue
We co-create a new world, this time we follow through
To make a lasting change, cos more & more awake
Yes day by day awareness grows in seeing whats at stake
Identifying imbalances, causing all the problems
Correcting and challenging the status quo’s wrongness
See once many years ago I felt all alone
But now see tipping points galore that threaten the throne
Because there’s only so much crap that people swallow
Before they see the promises as lies that ring hollow

Determined dreamer, determined dreamer
I know you’ve got it in your head the grass is greener
Determined dreamer, determined dreamer
You live inside us all and in your heart you’re eager

So where to from here now that a spade’s a spade
And we all see there’s important choices to be made
Consult a moral compass and accept no less
Than freedom for all and redefining of progress
Cos one human being doesn’t have the answers
That blind following has rendered us as cancers
Malleable, deprived and with lowered standards
It’s crazy when existence aint the way we planned it
So what we do now is of great importance…
The path is long and theres no hope for shortness…
The answers are here, but old ways hold them back
But I’m quite aware that we can right the wrong track
What do we want…no more bullshit confusing me!
What do we need…no criminal acts with impunity!
What do we want…bodies boosted with immunity!
What do we need…a local living community!

Determined dreamer, determined dreamer
I know you’ve got it in your head the grass is greener
Determined dreamer, determined dreamer
You live inside us all and in your heart you’re eager

So let’s imagine a place where we’re all connected
No locks on doors, no need to feel protected
A place where we share with each and all
Where, yes, you may stumble…but never fall!
No place for competition with another
But of co-operation with each other
Where Community's a spirit, not an empty word
And your outcome is mirrored with the rest of the herd
We’re pieces to a puzzle of immeasurable worth
As puzzle pieces we're connected to the earth
And there's no place for irresponsible power
And we’re no longer enslaved to the final hour
We understand our place in this great cosmos
Consciousness feeds the spirit instead of what was
No more faith in blind dogmas and such
And no hidden hand to ensure us in its clutch

Determined dreamer, determined dreamer
I know you’ve got it in your head the grass is greener
Determined dreamer, determined dreamer
You live inside us all and in your heart you’re eager

Lyrics:
Welcome to my life or should I say…my curse
It’s not that bad, but my mind makes it worse
I feel alone & lost in my creative purpose
Like a touch of frost in a boiling furnace
A solo force…driven by my soul
Looking for applause to validate my role
As a tortured artist, I make…but flounder
It’s hard enough…being plagued by doubters
I need to seek balance on every dimension
I need to speak and challenge with intention
Cos I can’t sit back, think - “that’s that”
Gotta rise, spit fire; on a phat track
This confused being living in this physical
Needs to find a way to remain spiritual
Used to think I could do it by myself
But now realise…I must seek some help

Am I the only one who feels it?
Never mind the doubters gotta just forgive em…yeah, yeah
They just put me on my mission
Never mind the doubters because I’m soul driven…yeah, yeah

I think about the doubter lodged in my head
I wanna rip it out wish it were dead
Cos past-life crap bubbles to the surface
Creates conflict, tells me I’m worthless
I try to shut it out…but I can’t
As much I want to forget…I shan’t
Cos, in truth…I gotta heal the internal
Create a clear channel to the force eternal
And there are those who made me feel abandoned
Who weren’t there to support, but left me stranded
Some left the musical path, unsure
I understand, but can’t shut that door 
Sometimes I wanna quit it hurts too much
Am I going nowhere? Am I losing touch?
Though I feel kindred spirits come soon
I gotta march on and erase the gloom

Am I the only one who feels it?
Never mind the doubters gotta just forgive em…yeah, yeah
They just put me on my mission
Never mind the doubters because I’m soul driven…yeah, yeah

There’s no rest for the weary eyed soldier
Though it’s a long and lonely road we’ve traveled miles and miles upon
You possess much more than they got on ya
And if you fall then dust yourself off keep on driving on that soul

I’ve tried to fill my life with another path
But when I walk away I wind up at the start
Something compels me, tells me “STAY”
It’s bigger than me, it won’t go away
I can’t stop even if I wanted to
My mission needs me to follow through
Not about end goals, but the process
To make spirit whole, it accepts no less
So battle weary, I walk lockstep
Eyes fixed and alert, seeking what’s next
To climb this mountain to higher self
Activate through music…cos it helps
Bridge gaps between the divine and I
To stay positive in my mind’s eye
I know i’m not alone in the way I feel
And it’s this sole fact that helps me deal

Am I the only one who feels it?
Never mind the doubters gotta just forgive em…yeah, yeah
They just put me on my mission
Never mind the doubters because I’m soul driven…yeah, yeah
Am I the only one who feels it?
Never mind the doubters gotta just forgive em…yeah, yeah
They just put me on my mission
Never mind the doubters because I’m soul driven…yeah, yeah

Lintwahn & Dean McGinnes (feat. MaGana) - Soul Driven

My yearning for the new paradigm to unfold...

Lyrics

So I shine my light on this dim-lit path
Back and forth emotion…do I cry or laugh
Are there others out there or am I alone?
Gotta forge a way without being shown
Uncover hidden depths within
Dwell in the moment…push through the din
Of this swirling vortex of my mind
Cut twirling thoughts that try to bind
And It’s slow going, but we’re sewing
The seeds for the crops of a future glowing
…And now I see more with me
And that’s a damn good thing cos the slopes are slippery
Gotta network quickly
Overcome barriers, get rid of the sickly
Remnants, from an old age past
To an equal standing on stage at last

These floating lights
These other souls
Crystalline structure
Give birth…unfold

I don’t care who you are, where you came from
All have gifts, but some have the game wrong
Using skills for the wrong side
But this will change, like the moving tide
Cos self preservation is a noble aim
But not if actions exploit or maim
Encouraging a healthy questioning
Is the only type of quest I bring
Instead of rewards for cash made fast
Ever widening divides of class
Short-cuts & quick surprises
A baron future for a hoard of misers
Challenging times we face indeed
But soon there’ll be no space for greed
Let’s pull together and find the key!
Turn on these lights so we all can see!

These floating lights
These other souls
Crystalline structure
Give birth…unfold

We navigate, gravitate to knowing
Counterpoint to where force is flowing
Light a spark in a patch of dark
Float up high like a pulsing quark
With courage to stand in spite of evil
Strength to lead without being feeble
Many solutions wait to be cast
We all have knowledge to form a vast
Matrix of self determined people
In harmony…creating equal
Chances to effect some change
Support each other in this new age
To work with nature…not against it
Engage our problems…not fence sit
If we need to we’ll work outside the system
And create success…so they’ll have to listen

These floating lights
These other souls
Crystalline structure
Give birth…unfold

I finished the instrumental 2 years ago, but only just now put my vocals over the top of it. 

I guess it can be likened to the protagonist talking to the omniscient presence/the universe/god and saying "you know what...I'm in control"

peace
