Lyrics:
Every leaf of every tree
rustlin’ in the warm breeze
has a new intensity
I know that it’s you. 

Every moon since you’ve been gone
dogs are howlin’ different songs
from dusk till dawn  
I know that’s you too.

You’ll be alive as long as
we can keep our hearts in tune.
And you’ll live forever, always,
everywhere in cosmic bloom.

All the salt of all the seas,
all the dust of desert dreams,
shimmering infinitely
I know that it’s you.

All the stars in endless space
shine so bright they start to fade
the pain away
I know that’s you too.

You’ll be alive as long as
we can keep our hearts undone.
And you’ll live forever, always,
everywhere a cosmic hum.  

From ground to sky, 
we fall, we fly,
riding ocean tides that quickly rise
and just as soon subside.
Waves of love and light. 

From ground to sky, 
we fall, we fly,
riding ocean tides that quickly rise
and just as soon subside.
Waves of love and light. 


You’ll be alive as long as
we can keep our hearts in tune.
And you’ll live forever, always,
everywhere in cosmic bloom.

You’ll be alive as long as
we can keep our hearts undone.
And you’ll live forever, always,
everywhere a cosmic hum.  

All the precious moments shared
glow as flames in every prayer,
underneath each breathe of air
I know that it’s you.

We’re family, the kind we choose,
Mother Nature’s children too.
We love, we lose
we’re always with you.

Lyrics:
Será que algum dia minha vida vai ter
um sentido fácil para eu entender?
Não sei, não sei, 
o tempo é rei.
Será que o meu bem ainda vai me querer
depois de tanto tempo sem me ver?
Não sei, não sei, 
o tempo é rei.

Não resiste, não desiste, 
o velho mundo persiste assim.
Pois tentar previsar não dá, 
é melhor improvisar.

A dor que me engole, vai e vem
O prazer que me eleva sempre muda tambem.
Eu sei, eu sei, 
o tempo é rei.
Os grandes desafios podem fazer bem. 
Com tempo as coisas se resolvem.
Eu sei, eu sei, 
o tempo é rei.  

Não resiste, não desiste, 
o velho mundo persiste assim.
Pois tentar previsar não dá, 
é melhor improvisar.

O consumismo vai nos consumir?  
Será que a gente vai se destruir?
Não sei, não sei, 
o tempo é rei.


English Translation:

“Time Is King” 
Is it possible that my life will one day have meaning 
that's easy for me to understand?
I don’t know, I don’t know, 
Time is King.
Is it possible that my sweetheart will still want me
After so much time without seeing me?
I don’t know, I don’t know, 
Time is King.

Don’t resist, don’t desist
The old world persists like this.
For to try to predict the future doesn't work,
it’s better to improvise.

The pain that swallows me, comes and goes.
The pleasure that elevates me always changes too.
I know, I know, 
Time is King.
The greatest challenges can do you good.
With time, things resolve themselves.
I know, I know, 
Time is King.

Don’t resist, don’t desist
The old world persists like this.
For to try to predict the future doesn't work,
it’s better to improvise.

Will consumerism consume us?
Is it possible that we will destroy ourselves?
I don’t know, I don’t know, 
Time is King.

Lyrics:
Hold up, slow down,
wait for a minute.
The world's too fast for me.
I got something on my mind
and I need just
a moment to breathe.
(I can't sleep but can't keep runnin’)

Show up, throw down,
fight to the finish.
The world's so cold you see.
I got something in my heart
and I need just
a moment to breathe.

(I can't sleep but can't keep runnin’)

Hold up, slow down,
wait for a minute.
The world's too fast for me.
I got something on my mind
and I need just
a moment to breathe.
(I can't sleep but can't keep runnin’)

Show up, throw down,
fight to the finish.
The world's so cold you see.
I got something in my heart
and I need just
a moment to breathe.

Hold up, slow down
Show up, throw down

(Runnin’, runnin’, runnin’…)

Slow up, hold down,
show up, throw down.
Punch up, just shake it up,
shut down.
Rise up, just fuck it up,
foot down.
(I can't sleep but can't keep runnin’)

Lyrics:
Every leaf of every tree,
rustlin' in the warm breeze,
has a new intensity,
I know that it's you.
Every moon since you've been gone,
dogs are howlin' different songs 
from dusk till dawn, 
I know that's you too.

You'll be alive as long as
we can keep our hearts in tune.
You'll live forever, always, 
everywhere, in cosmic bloom.

All the salt of all the seas,
all the dust of desert dreams, 
shimmering infinitely,
I know that it's you.
All the stars in endless space
shine so bright they start to fade
the pain away,
I know that's you too.

'Cause you'll be alive as long as 
we can keep our hearts undone.
You'll live forever, always, 
everywhere, a cosmic hum.

From ground to sky, 
we fall we fly,
riding ocean tides that quickly rise
and just as soon subside.
Waves of love and light.

All the precious moments shared

We love, we lose,
We're always with you.

Lyrics/Music: (Maya Finlay)
Red eyes, tangled hair
I’m falling down but you don’t care.
Heels in, hands are tight
You’re holding on to your stiff side.
Throat hoarse, got no voice
Hate to scream but I got no choice.
You pull, I pull back more 
Like a fucked up game of Tug o’ War.

But I dropped the rope and opened
A door to see what we could do
Invited you in but you never came thru.
I can’t even tell if we’re in love anymore. ..ooohh  

If you want me to see
That you're so good to me
Whether in war or peace.
Then move on it, if you want it.
If you want me to find
That you’re justified, 
that you’re on my side.
Then come over, ‘fore it’s over.

Frayed ends, hearts are tired
Wearing out our own desires.
Harsh words, on deaf ears
We’re playing out our own worst fears.
Can love be this way?
That’s a heavy price to pay.
I know one thing’s for sure
We’re stuck in a game of Tug o’ War.

But I dropped the rope and opened
A door to see what we could do
Invited you in but you never came thru.
All I ever wanted was for you to hear me out…can you hear me now?

If you want me to see
That you're so good to me
Whether in war or peace.
Then move on it, if you want it.
If you want me to find
That you’re justified, 
that you’re on my side.
Then come over, ‘fore it’s over.

I don’t want another night of fights,
where you gaslight, and insist it’s polite...ness.
I don’t wanna keep forcing a life
Where you tell lies, convinced that you’re right...eous.
I don’t wanna keep playing this game,
target of your aim, and the only one who takes the blame.
We can’t merry-go-round the same, 
Either we change, or we walk away.
