" I don't mind that your feelin' awake
  Time to let Rosie admit to her mistake
  She loves herself more than anyone I've known
  Can't find a man to conquer this world with
  Life can be so cold

The Sun is setting in a wide open world
Don't be afraid for me
This is how it was suppose to me
Once in a lifetime you get a second chance
It may take three strikes to knock you back on your path

I'm movin' to Colorado
Or some place that looks the same
My  soul needs water from the rivers and mountains
Cold, with flowing streams
Forests under starry skies is all I need to ignite my souls flame

I'm not even half way through this race yet
Already I feel I've won
With what time I have remaining
Return my soul to the Sun

Please set me on fire after I go
Discover your desire's, trust that they will show" - Sean Rook

Movin

"Digging a whole with a tired soul
and its the ol' Sun Dance
Tired of being lied to by the Master and The Plan
Everything sounds to be concrete
in a new age street
Violence again, proposed by men with a belly of sand

When the Whole World is everything
Angels by your side, spread your wings

Little man with a plan has a heavy hand
Trying to make a living and take home the best he can
Too shy and bashful for a living room scene,on the Ravine
Get on a plane, it will take you somewhere you never seen

Take a train away from your only brain
Put on a positive cap and think in your way
Mother Earth wouldn't hurt us, if she cared
Somebody told me that I might be hearing impaired.." - Sean Rook

Sun Dance

"I ain't got a whole lot to give, but I'll give you all I got
It might be a whole lotta little, but a whole lotta little
might be a lot
I'm sorry, that everything seems to be happening this way
I'm sorry, not everyone agrees on everything these days
Well, i ain't got a whole lotta give, but I'll give you all I got
It might be a whole lot of little, but a whole lotta little
might be a lot" - Sean Rook

"Open acres before the trees meet the shade
Thinkin of the days
Of giving and caring, loving and sharing 
Letting the day take command

A circle of woman all task on top of the hill
With a good view of the men below
It lets them watch as they go fish in the rain
Oh, they fish in the rain
Fish in the rain, oh, fish in the rain
The days food will come, with peace and love and fun
If only we start to live that way again

We can harness the power of the sun you know
They all lived without guns
Can we at least get rid of the hyper masculine ones
They're destroying any chance that we got

Tend the land and grow it all on your own
Share with your friends and neighbors from home
Stop preparing for war, is that all we are here for

Or maybe it's time we start to explain
How we evolved into aeroplanes
and then satellites and rocket ships
You know we've only begun to explore all this

It's just clouds rolling over dust, alive in what some would call a fantasy
It's just clouds rolling over dust, alive in what some would call a fantasy
It's just clouds rolling over dust, alive in what some would call a fantasy"   -Sean Rook

Fantasy

Cukoo
" I just wanna sing
Sing from the heart
When this whole world
Is falling apart
I just want to get up
and walk around
Because there's nothin' better to do
on this side of town
I just want to dance like the elephants
that don't dance in the zoo
Because when you break the soul
of someone that knew
That they're just wasting their time
until they meet their death
It's romantic and friendly
for me to suggest
You stop havin' a care in the world 
and get a grip
Because nobody likes seeing you
throw a fit
I'm sorry I have to let you go
No, there's not another call on the line
It's just that if I don't get some silence
I might not be able to rest my mind
And then it'll start all over again
thinkin' a hundred thoughts at a time
Lately I've been wonderin
how I got on the negative side of the line
I just want to walk like the elephants
that are wild and not in the zoo
You see to them
We're all Cukoo..."  - Sean Rook

Cukoo

"Why can't we be gettin better at getting along?
Why can't we be gettin better at gettin along?

Finally, I can finally breathe again
Finally, I can breathe again

You gotta  give it some time,
You know it takes a little time to get over
You gotta give it some time
You know it takes a little time to get over

Why cant we be gettin better at getting along
Why cant we be gettin better at getting along

You know it's gonna take some time,
It takes a little more time as you get older" - Sean Rook

Take Time

" I'd rather be a man alone on the black and silver sands
 With the White glow of the Grey Moon above
Then to be with that Star Lady who ran away from home
She did not know what she was afraid of

I'd rather catch a man by his hand at his castle
Then to lose another friend to defeat
The minds' misery blury's inside feelings
Causes figures to grow cold feet

Past the satellites, withing the stars
Amongst the water is where you are
Beyond description, beyond law
Wahtchin' the watcher's who forgot who You are

No summer rests it's nests in the meadow
The Cowboys are stealin' all the wheat
I find the mind it has too many channels
How about you sell them on the street?
How about you wash your feet?

Well that's You I look at when I look up at the sky
Through the clouds and worry deep within my eyes

That's where you are, beyond the stars
Beyond it al,l without form
Always expanding...
until you finally burst.... until.....
you finally burst!

I was only renting this house of mine for a limited time
I see you keep yours in shape
When it starts to leave you can see the vanishing 
of it all returning to space
The light leaves the eyes
of your face"  - Sean Rook

EYES

" It was an egg
   Larva
   Then a cocoon
   Born on the moon

   I believe in Angels
   I believe in Love

  Crawling out of your old skin
  Transitioning a new beginning

   I believe in Angels
   I believe in Love

He was only sleeping, then She appeared
It was Her
He knew he wasn't dreaming
She told him, "Come back to Earth"

   Lift your wings and dive
  The story of the Butterfly "

"I just received some notice,
Your alone and came back home
Meditating on peaceful living,
All on your own

I heard you got your heart broken,
Again and again
Now all the clocks are ticking,
Raging in your head

Future plans haven't happened,
Your mind is wandering
Sleepless with frustration,
Your not where you want to be

Settle on me, I can help you plant your feet
There's got to be a better way of living for you and me

You know we started walking steady,
Side by side
I'd offer to help and you let me
To my suprise

Came a tender conversation
On the phone late at night
A smile overcomes me
Never wanna say goodbye

Settle on me, I can help you plant your feet
There's got to be a better way of living for you and me

It's not about the future or what we've done
Right here and now we're livin'
There's no better time then today
How 'bout we both start givin'
Before this all slips away...
Why don't you

Settle on me, I can help you plant your feet
There's got to be a better way of living for you and me

Maybe i can settle on you, you can show me what to do
The two of us still growin', finally not afraid of the truth

Settle on me
I can settle on you..."

Settle on me

"Oh Martha, I don’t know you
But I feel ya calling me
Oh you call out, can I hear you?
The one I sent to be

Moving along, writing our own history
Yea were moving along, and writing our own history
                                                                                                             
Oh wide eyed….. I had to figure it out
What I always played
And you well, you had to find it
In my family tree

Moving along, writing our own history
Yea we're moving along, and writing our own history

" People make me mad, mad, mad people
   People make me sad, sad, sad people
   People make me cry, cry, cry people
   People make me laugh, laugh, laugh people

   People make me doubt, shout and shut in
   People don't know what I'm thinking about

   People make me blue, blue, blue people
   People make me confused, confused people
   People make me stay, inside my home
   I never feel all alone
   
   People don't know what I'm talking about

   People want to dance, dance, dance people
   People want to take a chance, chance, chance people
   People want Romance, Oh they're asking for it fast
   People just want to be themselves " - Sean Rook

" Goodnight telephone, where do you roam?
You never make me feel all alone, I hope you make it home

The time has come, everyone's asleep
Except for that guy sitting there, oh, and her right over there

Goodnight telephone, where do you roam?
Goodnight telephone, where do you roam?

You were there all day, made my life complete
Now for a couple of hours, go on, try and get some sleep

The time has come, and everyone's asleep
They wake you up in the middle of the night, just to touch your screen

Good night telephone, where do you roam? "

Goodnight Telephone

"Shiny shoes and a fresh shirt
Lost his smokes in a puddle
Light Boy Jones said, "What's the trouble?,
It's raining everywhere"

He picked up one wet cigarette
and tucked it behind his ear
And waited for the sun to come out 
to dry away those tears

And Light Boy Jones felt like he was home

A tiny day for judgement anger would not rest
He watched as all the people took it out on those they love best
He thought, "No one ever stops! And no one's patient anymore!"
He himself had a bad day on the twenty second floor

With dry tobacco on the side of his head 
And a half-dry suit and shoes
He shoulder-flung his splashy coat
And moved to the sunshine blues

And Light Boy Jones felt like he was home again
Light Boy Jones felt like he was home " - Sean Rook

Light Boy Jones

"Do you think I'm strange, or that I,
Could of just done better for myself?
Do you feel right at the end of the day?
Or just like someone else?

Its you who's so free and easy,
Like the wind among the shore

The concept forsakes your mind
How can we see behind each other's eyes?
You have no idea what's inside

So do I think your strange?
Or do i blame you for being yourself?
Do I feel right at the end of the day
knowing your with someone else?"  -Sean Rook

Strange

"I see many people speak and protest, but you shut 'em down
Voices many are too heavy for you...

I'm just a butterfly in a tree
Scared of the world that's shining down upon me
I'm just a tree in a forest growin 'lone, no time to find my home

Why do we give so much of ourselves just to be plowed down to the ground?
Why do we grow, just to show the sky we're bound to fall down?

Whether it's rain or wind, it's gonna take you down
Hopefully your next of kin will be the one to make the world go round and round

And when the sun do rise and the birds do fly you must be on
And when the sun do rise and the birds do fly you must be on

How can we be bound to the sound of the wind and rain, make us fall down again?
How can we be bound to the sound of the wind and rain?" 
- Sean Rook

Trees

"Way beneath the sea, past the deep dark blue abyss, exists... 
A city!
Of sea turtles
Hidden and unknown, there's a whole town, a community
They all have things to do and nobody minds
By doing their job, their purpose, everything gets done

Everyone gets along in this glowing city
Everyone respects and admires
The master of 'em all
The Mayor, or King
The President, the God Father of the sea turtles

The coolest, the most bad-ass sea turtle
However, he doesn't appear to ever be around much
But if and when he is, all anyone has ever heard him say was..

Bigabagabagoo, Bigabagabagay..."  - Sean Rook
