This song is about the deep pain we all feel after a tough breakup with a lover/partner. Be like a lotus flower!

---

I'm not feeling it anymore
I need you to go away
Like a lotus flower in the rain
I drown to end each day

But I'll rise from the murky waters
Each morning is colorfully new

Some day you can come around
When it won't bring me down
For now you're not my cup of tea
In steeping heartbreak
Are tears that set me free

No one's gonna have their way with me
Without a price to pay
I'm like a lotus flower's sacred bloom
Not fully open too soon

I'll rise from the murky waters
Each morning is colorfully new

Some day you can come around
When it won't bring me down
For now you're not my cup of tea
In steeping heartbreak
Are tears that set me free

I'll rise from the murky waters
Each morning is colorfully new

Some day you can come around
When it won't bring me down
For now you're not my cup of tea
Where was it that we began
And when will the drama end
We are the story so we'll see
In steeping heartbreak
Are tears that set us free

The Sky Rains

Lotus Flower

This song is about not holding back on anything in your life. Live and experience everything to the fullest. No regrets!

Another wake up with unopened eyes
Somehow you know what you can't see
And through the window on the other side
A place where you and I roam free

And in a heartbeat I will follow you
To the end of time

The life of wisdom and of knowing why
A revelation's upon thee
You know the story don't hypothesize
In future growth of the shade tree

Eternal longing for the great sublime
Dream to fill what is empty
And in a heartbeat I will follow you
To the end of time

Starting today and again on tomorrow
Watch the heavens reappear
The clouds shall pass
Light will be all surrounding
In the moment everlast

Eternal longing for the great sublime
Dream to fill what is empty
And in a heartbeat I will follow you
To the end of time

Starting today and again on tomorrow
Watch the heavens reappear
The clouds shall pass
Light will be all surrounding
In the moment everlast

Everlast

This song is about a wonderful, imaginary place with forests, oceans, and endless sunshine. You can go there if you dream it.

---

Live in the forest alone
There's a pond no one knows when you skip a stone
Who, where, and what you believe
Is the storyworld you see

Every day a midnight matinee
All the time endless sunshine

Crossing the ocean you're free
Say goodbye in a wave hello coral sea
And ride the deep undertow
To the storyworld you know

Every day a midnight matinee
All the time endless sunshine

Every day a midnight matinee
All the time endless sunshine
Every day a midnight matinee
All the time endless sunshine

Storyworld

This song serves as a crash course in Sigmund Freud's structural model of the human psyche: the Id, Ego, and Super Ego.

---

Another early sunrise
And I'm heading out the door on my way
Do I have what I want
And need to face another day

Living large and carefree
As far as the I can see

As the day goes on and
I'm thinking of all the fun things to do
It's the pleasure ethic
Illogical and irrational

Living large and carefree
As far as the I can see
Within the realm of Id

Evening social actions
Reality principle
With a conscience and reason
Society's moral values hold

Living large and carefree
As far as the I can see
The realm of ego engaged

Deep inside the psyche
The making of you ideal
The super-ego of self, your me

The Psyche

This album opening track is a dark spin on the ills of social media, yet also suggests there are rays of hope for us all.

---

Anti-socratic, mindless souls today
Social commentary leads us astray
Words of wisdom, abhorred
Opinion acumen acts as overlord

I struggle in the silence of what's mindful
And binge on streaming tears

The look of consternation everywhere
Cancel culture led by doctrinaire
A world of madness, enshrined
Clicks and likes become black hole valentines

But I embrace the darkness that surrounds me
And my perception clears

There's light above the clouds
Even when the sky rains

Hope For Humanity

This insane world often seems upside-down, downside-up, and even inside-out!

---

Seems every day's a new war
Another killing machine blowing off the doors
No form of hatred can win alone
Nor with an army of peers 

Every day I wake up to the night
Where all the darkness slowly comes to light
I want to change what's bad to make it right
Because everything is upside-down

From the rich to the poor
The dollars or dollar stretch here to eternity
Underprivilege the thief of dreams
Just got to pray and believe

Every day I wake up to the night
Where all the darkness slowly comes to light
I want to change what's bad to make it right
Because everything is downside-up

Can we reach around the globe
And hold on to each other closely
Share all the love you've ever known
Embrace the world and all it should be

They pledge allegiance to race
Discrimination is served by the mark of Cain
Masquerading as liberty
But it's injustice for all
      
Every day I wake up to the night
Where all the darkness slowly comes to light
I want to change what's bad to make it right
Because everything is inside-out

Can we reach around the globe
And hold on to each other closely
Share all the love you've ever known
Embrace the world and all it should be

See how three strong, negative psychological behaviors can lead a person to their day of reckoning (and what happens next).

Deception leads us to the fabled Judas tree
A twist of fate that ends in end sorrow
What feels so far away where things aren't what they seem
Because we fail to take the high road
 
And from the blooming tree
To the heart shaped leaves
A transformation is upon thee
In the afterlife a chance to make things right
With everlasting roots in all divine

Betrayal leads us to the famous Judas tree
Where it's time to play the end game
Is it a sacrifice with no outcome guaranteed
A valiant try that will end in vain

And from the blooming tree
To the heart shaped leaves
A transformation is upon thee
In the afterlife a chance to make things right
With everlasting roots in all divine

A guilty conscience leads straight to the Judas tree
Where we hang our souls out to die
Is it a kiss of death or just a darkened dream
When we say our final goodbye

And from the blooming tree
To the heart shaped leaves
A transformation is upon thee
In the afterlife a chance to make things right
With everlasting roots in all divine

The Judas Tree

The time is now for you and your lover to act on your dreams!

---

Walk with me to the sea
Where we will wave our goodbyes
Bon voyage from our beach
Under a blue sunny sky

Why not sail away
In our own dream that leaves today
In every port of call
I know that we can have it all  

No matter where we go
Our ship to nowhere unseen
Don't fear the undertow
A strong wind will set us free

Why not sail away
In our own dream that leaves today
In every port of call
I know that we can have it all

Time now to sink or swim
And set a course for the new
Turn back and we don't win
Still stuck in our life's glue

Why not sail away
In our own dream that leaves today
In every port of call
I know that we will have it all
Why not sail away
In our own dream that leaves today
In every port of call we will have it all

Sail Away

Is there such a thing as love at first sight?

---

I see you walking down the street
And wonder if we'll ever meet
You're more than just a passerby
I trust my eyes

One look at you
And I see myself derring-do
I can't look away
Nor take it day-to-day

And if I make a play on you
Your orbit in a rendezvous
I'll launch a rocket in your space
Let's constellate
 
One look at you
And I see myself derring-do
I can't look away
Nor take it day-to-day

Our love is now an embryo
What lies ahead the great unknown
Across the universe of dreams
In our time machine

One look at you
And I see myself derring-do
I can't look away
Nor take it day-to-day
One look at you
Do you see yourself derring-do
Can you look away
Or take it day-to-day

One Look at You

The intense whirlwind of feelings (heart and mind) when you are falling in love.

---

When you walk all alone on a beautiful day
Sun shines yet the clouds cover the moon
Gentle breeze in your hair and with no threat of rain
Sky high in your mind everything blooms

Indigo do you know
What you are feeling inside
Heart and soul both can grow
I'll make you mine

When we talk on the phone and the silence is loud
Hotline to reach out and quiet your fears
With your head in the clouds and both feet on the ground
All ears just the sound of walking on air

Indigo do you know
What you are feeling inside
Heart and soul both may  grow
Will you be mine
                                                                                             
See the hawk soaring high with a view from above
Lonely getting close yet so far apart
Down below there we are loving just like the doves
Hold me and I'll go straight to your heart

Indigo do you know
What you are feeling inside
Heart and soul both will grow
Now that you're mine

Indigo

Seeing a long ago love, and going through a cascade of emotions.

It's good to see you again
How have you been
I've thought about you every day
So good to hold you again
What may have been
No need to point the blame

When we could fly and
Together we touched the sky
With no chance of ever feeling blue
Did you believe in the good fairy tale lie
When you were falling asleep

Butterfly day dream
And where the grass is more green
Was a cloud storming into view
Did you believe in the good fairy tale lie
When you were falling asleep

It's good to see you again
How have you been
I've thought about you every day
So good to hold you again
What may have been
Longing to fan the flame

Saying hello
To a time so long ago
All the while that your heart withdrew
Do you believe in the good fairy tale lie
When you recall your dreams                                                    

It's good to see you again
How have you been
I think about you every day
So good to hold you again
What may have been
Somehow it feels the same

Good to See You Again

When feeling overwhelmed in life accept the changes you have to make, and set yourself free!

I need to get on a jet plane
And fly myself far away
All I want is to roam free
In the new found land that I dream

Down the spiral of life each day
Held by the weight of the chains

At times I feel that I can't breathe
And in my soul I will bleed
Now is the time for a breakthrough
From the clouds and into the blue

In the spiral of life each day
Is there escape from the chains

Gonna fly look far and wide
With the freedom of my open eyes
Get away live better days
Even in the rain    

The clock is ticking it's my move
I know what I have to do
To my old life I wave good bye
Because my dream's not pie in the sky

Caught in the spiral of life each day
Knowing well that I'm in the wrong place
The time is now to be open to fate
And shed the weight of the chains

Gonna fly look far and wide
With the freedom of my open eyes
Get away live better days
Even when I'm standing in the rain
Gonna fly look far and wide
With the freedom of my open eyes
Get away never a better day

Freedom

Believe in yourself, it's the only way to reach your potential on the high ground.

---

Believe in all that you do each and every day
A beacon of light in the sky there for all to see
The rainbow colors in you the warm afterglow
The trade winds lie in your wake all around the globe

At night when I'm flying high
Above the clouds
Below looks like candle lights
Flickering on the ground
And deep inside my soul

Some people watching you soar try to bring you down
Their envious nature exposed in their hurtful words but
As jealous ambitions unfold you hold your head up high
No sticks or stones slow you down and you keep your stride

At night when I'm flying high
Above the clouds
Below looks like candle lights
Flickering on the ground
And deep inside my soul               

You know the journey is real it's a test of time
A winding road will appear carved out of the blue
But stay the course and believe in yesterday
Tomorrow is a new day and you'll make the grade

At night when I'm flying high
Above the clouds
Below looks like candle lights
Flickering on the ground
At night when I'm flying high
Above the clouds
Below looks like candle lights
Flickering on the ground
And deep inside my soul

Flying High

Don't be a shut-in! Take a walk with a special somebody, and experience the world of bounty that's in reach.

We're feeling sullen every day
Inside ourselves is where we bleed lonely
To change from many shades of gray
Open the door so we can leave freely    

Walking down the boulevard to places where we go

The human race can bring us down
A tidal wave of feeling blue let us choose
Our sun that's shining all around
A better world is what I'll muse with you

Walking down the boulevard to places where we go
Saying hi to all the lovely people who we know

Sometimes we need a lullaby
To calm the pace for you and me softly
And now it's time to step outside
A world of bounty is in reach godspeed

Walking down the boulevard to places where we go
Saying hi to all the lovely people who we know
Life is everybody's journey let's not walk alone

Boulevard

This opening track provides uplifting human spirit, and hope that we all can leave negative vibes and worsening polarization behind.

All around the world are people just like me
As far as I'm concerned we're all the best of breed

All I want is to get to know you
More and more every day

All around the world are people just like you
The wise thing to choose is do unto them as you do                         

All I want is to get to know you
More and more every day

Never understood animosity and resulting counterblow
Hatred spewing through the online megaphone
Others feel empowered they put you down branches of the bully tree
Repulsiveness displayed for the whole world to see

All around this world are people just like us
Feeling deep inside the need to wanderlust
Let us celebrate and embrace all of our cultures
Afterall it's our human hearts that are the only cure

All I want is to get to know you
More and more every day
All I want is to get to know you
More and more every day
All I want is to get to know you
More and more each and every day
