SUNSHINE
Written by Koral Delatierra

You are my sunshine
my morning rays
you are what brightens all my days
and if i look for you inside myself
I find the true meaning of my highest wealth

I take good care of my body
I believe in my dreams
nurture the seeds I sow
think consciously
I walk upon the earth with my bare feet
sitting still in nature
I observe quietly

the in breath
the out breath
the song in the breeze
the fluid dance of the limbs on the trees
and if i pay attention to what goes on within me
I realize all I've sought outside has been with me constantly

You are my sunshine
my morning rays
you are what brightens all my days
and if I look for you inside myself
I find the true meaning of my highest wealth

I am a farmer of the heart
with ease and flow and grace I play
rising to the sun
with meditation I start my day
blessed hummingbird come and sing to me
remind me of your ancient song
that plays always 

the stillness
your presence
eternally in me
I listen to your wisdom in my own heartbeat
with every step I take I give thanks for the blessings
of waking to the fact that inspiration lives within me

You are my sunshine
my morning rays
you are what brightens all my days
and if i look for you inside myself
I find the true meaning of my highest wealth

Sunshine

WALK AWAY
Written by Koral Delatierra

You tore me apart, You raided my heart
I did not know when the pain would stop
I couldn’t walk away, I believed what you’d say
I dug up my roots, Lost sight of my truth
I did not know what you would do
If I said not today, You cannot treat me this way

I forgive you  All I want to do is love true
That don’t mean ill stay with you,
I've got to love myself too
I am stronger now, It's not in shame but in reverence, I bow
To the divine light within me, I finally see my true beauty

You called me a thief, Shot down my beliefs
You played out on the streets
Where I found you with another woman, another woman
I let you back in, you said never again
I thought it was the first time
Then I found out it was all a lie, it was all a lie

I forgive you  
All I want to do is love true
That don’t mean I'll stay with you, I've got to love myself too.
I am stronger now, 
It's not in shame but in reverence, I bow,
to the divine light within me, I finally see my true beauty.

And I choose life, I free myself
I finally loved myself enough to walk away
And I choose life and free myself
I realize my life I make it this way

I accepted your lies, Allowed you to brutalize
the very essence of my being
I thought I truly deserved your beatings, How could anyone deserve a beating? 
I lost all respect, I began to neglect
My own health and well being
But now I take responsibility and I create things differently

And I forgive you  All I want to do is love true
That don’t mean i'll stay with you, I've got to love myself too
And I am stronger now, It's not in shame but in reverence, I bow
To the divine light within me, I finally see my true beauty

And I choose life, I free myself
I finally loved myself enough to walk away
I choose life, I free myself
I realize my life I make it this way

MANNTRA
written by Koral Delatierra

Así camino en mi trayectoria,
con el fé en el creador que no me engaña
Doy atención a mi conciencia
agua de vida me purifica con puro presencia
soy amor, salud y justicia 
sabiduria, curacion y abundancia

Here I go on my way,
I have faith in the creator who does not lead me astray
I give attention to my consciousness
Water of life purify me with pure presence
I am love, I am health, I am justice
Wisdom, healing and abundance

Abre mis ojos que puedo ver
Y mis oídos que puedo escuchar
Abre mi boca que puedo hablar
de la verdad de la victoria de todo que será

Open my eyes so that I can see
and my ears so that i can hear
open my mouth so that i can speak
of the glory of all that is and all that will be

A vivir, vive y despierta
oh to live, live and wake up

Manntra

OCEAN
written by Koral Delatierra

Oh I thank you for I am free
I see the beauty in everything
I have the power to live in peace
To be in harmony with all living beings

Many Seas, One Ocean
I find strength through my devotion
To the web of life
And how we’re all connected
And the wisdom that comes from this awareness

Many Seas, One Ocean
Consciousness of oneness, forward motion
Our perceptions may differ but  the essence is the same
We all look to the light, just call it by different names

Who feels it knows
we’re all drops of water in the same rivers flow

let’s end the illusion
that lead to the delusion
that there’s something that separates us
have you learned the secrets of the river
there’s no such thing as time

Many Seas, One Ocean
I find strength through my devotion
To the web of life
And how we’re all connected
And the wisdom that comes from this awareness

Many Seas, One Ocean
Conscious of oneness, forward motion
Our perceptions may differ but  the essence is the same
We all look to the light just call it by different names

Who feels it knows
we’re all drops of water in the same rivers flow
when we release and let go
we’ll all end up in the ocean whole

let's end the illusion
that lead to the delusion
that there’s something that separates us
have you learned the secrets of the river
there’s no such thing as time

PRECIOUS
Written by Koral Delatierra

Have you ever watched a flower bloom?
Have you ever seen an eclipsed moon?
Have you ever bared your soul,
authentically sharing what before you'd withhold?

Do you feel the power of the now?
This precious presence to which i kneel and bow.
Can you really say that you give thanks to
all the forces that together create this moment?

Maybe our hardships are for us
that's how we grow and move forward
yes i will will you rise to the occasion to shine and love
yes that’s what  it’s what we’re made of
true love
 

I choose to be the source of my approval
Living in integrity 
Yes i am responsible
For the life I live, the love I give, the way I choose perceive
May my lessons come with ease

May I be playful and creative
Seeing beauty in all of life's creations
Speak my the truth and express myself with candor
I see you as my ally, my sister, my brother  

Maybe our hardships are for us
That's how we grow and move forward
Yes, I will rise to the occasion to shine and love
Yes that’s what we’re made of
True love


Awaiting for the day to break
Oh the sunrise of a new dawn
And yes we will make mistakes
But don’t let that keep you from moving on

LET IT FALL
written by Dustin Wilson

When the veil is lifted from our eyes
Then the promises will be seen as lies
People come take back your crown
And let Babylon fall down

When there's abundance for all to partake
Then our Mother Earth we will surely thank
Free your mind to the love around,
and let Babylon fall down

Fall Down, when war is no longer their game
Fall Down, and JAH's Miracle's come down like rain
Come Down, for a new peace that's going to last
Come Down, for the dominator's reign has passed

I see a bright new day
then storm clouds push it all away
I'm left with only tears, 
for we still suffer after all these years

Freedom Sings and Slavery it hides 
Spread your winds, help turn the tides
And whenever you hear this soon
We let Babylon fall down, Let Babylon Fall down

Fall Down, when war is no longer their game
Fall Down, and JAH's Miracle's come down like rain
Come Down, for a new peace that's going to last
Come Down, for the dominator's reign has passed

Let If Fall

JAH RAIN
written by Michael Gomberg

"'shower oh heavens from above and rain down righteousness

Let the earth open and may salvation sprout forth and blossom"

How good and pleasant it would be
If all mankind could dwell together peacefully
If every man could see reality
there’d be no need for weapons
I’m sure you’d all agree

no raising arms in arms and causing harm
we’d join our hands together and live in harmony
oh what a glorious glorious day i know that will be

just like when you see the birds and the bees
the natural things, the leaves on the trees
they never fight for water when they are thirsty
there’s so much wanton greed, material need, people freed
only receiving jah teaching

like a great cloud riding over the world
the fullness thereof, shower us with your blessings
only JAH can ease, your suffering, grant you peace
listen carefully jah jah children

JAH RAIN, JAH RAIN COME, JAH RAIN COME DOWN FOR ALL THE WORLD
JAH RAIN, JAH RAIN COME, JAH RAIN COME DOWN FOR ALL THE WORLD

JAH observes all things, never favoring, always teaching
deliver the rain on all equally
he’s the one cloud, the single rain, the giver of life flowing through our veins
within the hearts of I & I, the Buddha, the Christ, King Rastafari

JAH RAIN, JAH RAIN COME, JAH RAIN COME DOWN FOR ALL THE WORLD
JAH RAIN, JAH RAIN COME, JAH RAIN COME DOWN FOR ALL THE WORLD

Jah Rain

THE SEED
written by Koral Delatierra

oh the seeds we sow 
How we seek to grow
and look to the light
Oh we'll stand up in our might
For what we believe in is right 
And dreams will be if we believe
That we can choose to shine brightly
In spite of the night

Oh rise with me
Ohhhhh set ourselves free 
Light this fire with me
Raise our voices to the divine powers that be

Oh and I will pray
I'll humbly stay in my gratitude for all life
And the more I praise and appreciate
The blessings grow
Overflowing

We are forever full
When we stand in our truth
And inquire within
Oh may the journey begin
Righteously living 
May our minds be cLear
And our intentions pure 
As we forward the vision with open hearts 
Abundance is ours

Oh rise with me
Oh set ourselves free
Light this fire with me
Raise our voices to the divine powers that be 

Oh and I will pray and I'll humbly stay
In my gratitude for all life
And the more I praise and appreciate 
The blessings grow
Overflowing

Oh and I will pray and I'll humbly stay
In my gratitude for all life
And the more I praise and appreciate 
The blessings grow
Overflowing

The Seed

I wrote this song as an affirmation to myself; to remind me that all that I often search for outside of myself already resides within me. May all beings awaken to the light of love that lives within our collective heart.

What A Day
Written by Koral Delatierra

what a day what a day now
what a day when there is no war
when we finally wake up and question what we’re fighting for
let’s cut the chains of hate, let’s relate
allow ourselves to love more

peace cannot be a goal we seek
we must realize this dream of peace through non-violent means
embody ethics of love in our lives
allowing all to be free

i feel so emotional
when will we rise with the light 
i know love is possible
where there is love, there is life 

use our hearts to feel the land
use our minds to understand
use our bodies to do the work hand in hand

use our hearts to feel the land
use our minds to understand
use our bodies to do the work hand in hand

oppressing others will not bring freedom
attacking someone don’t make you a leader
all i know is
i got hope for the future

it’s up to use to be the change we seek
we have the right, let’s live free
zion is a state of mind
iration comes from i, seen

use our hearts to feel the land
use our minds to understand
use our bodies to do the work hand in hand

an eye for an eye, make the world go blind
won’t accept these are end of times
wake up, be aware, show others we care
we are one humankind

what a day when there is no war
when we finally wake up and question what we’re fighting for
let’s cut the chains of hate, let’s relate
allow ourselves to love more

peace cannot be a goal we seek
we must realize this dream of peace through non-violent means
embody ethics of love in our lives
allowing all to be free

use our hearts to feel the land
use our minds to understand
use our bodies to do the work hand in hand

use our hearts to feel the land
use our minds to understand
sse our bodies to do the work hand in hand

What A Day

Better Than You Know
written by Koral Delatierra, Miranda Glory, Cari Cole

something changed, you’re acting different
what a shame, why you so distant
you used be so full of life

when did you let their words destroy you
let their judgements all define you
keep you down when you’re meant to rise

i know you got your heart torn open
questioning the strength you got inside
if only you could see how brightly you shine

you’re doing better than you know
there’s so much light inside your soul
you might feel broken, don’t lose hope
don’t be so hard on yourself
at times we all need some help
you’re doing better than you know 

you’re doing better than you know
better than you know 
better than you know 

i know you’ve been feeling low
don’t gotta face this on your own
i am here by your side, i ain't leaving you alone
there’ll always be a brighter day
i know that you will be ok
you’ve got the strength and you will find your way

i know you got your heart torn open
questioning the strength you got inside 
if only you could see how brightly you shine

you’re doing better than you know 
there’s so much light inside your soul
you might feel broken, don’t lose hope
don’t be so hard on yourself
at times we all need some help
you’re doing better than you know 

cuz you’ve got so much to do
you can’t let them ruin you
it’s easy to give up, but just keep fighting 
it gets better i promise you
i’ve been there and i got through
and looking back i’m thankful for it all 

you’re doing better than you know 
there’s so much light inside your soul
you might feel broken, don’t lose hope
don’t be so hard on yourself
at times we all need some help
you’re doing better than you know

What A Day (Radio Edit)

Better Than You Know (Radio Edit)

Hailing from Telluride, Colorado, Niceness is rooted in the traditional sounds of island reggae, seamlessly integrating elements of soul, funk, latin and hip-hop while staying true to their authentic reggae vibes.

A familial gathering of vibrantly diverse personalities rallying around personal, socio-political, and environmental issues, its ranks include activists, an organic farmer, a life coach, a permaculture designer, a Buddhist bodybuilder champ, a music teacher, adventurers, an arborist entrepreneur, and a Doctor of Psychology. The Colorado-grown band also has the rare distinction of being fronted by a firebrand female vocalist who oozes shamanistic charisma, hypnotizes with seductively stirring vocals, and upholds a fierce commitment to "art in action" ethos.

The Niceness band consists of frontwoman and songwriter Koral Delatierra; drummer and vocalist Michael "Mikey G." Gomberg; guitarist and vocalist Dustin Wilson; keyboardist and vocalist David "Bassie" Christeson; bassists Mike Enriquez; percussionist Jonathon "Johnny B" Barfield; alto sax player John White and tenor sax player Danny D'Alessandro

Together, this collective is more than a band; it's a state of mind. Mikey G., who coined the group's moniker, explains: "'Niceness' is a colloquial outburst that translates to 'Right On!,' 'Sweet!' or, as Jamaicans exclaim, 'Irie!'. The name is a proclamation of jubilance."
