I Can Feel It

Can you feel it coming?
The young kids are gunning
The bankers are running
I can feel it coming
Can you feel it growing?
Like a river flowing
There’s no sign of slowing
I can feel it growing
Can you feel it?

Hope, it can come in all shapes and all sizes
From all people, all places, sunsets and sunrises
Carry on my friends, forget bout’ the sorrow
Carry on my friends in this fight for tomorrow
Surely there’s hope in the hears of the broken
And love in the words of all those who’ve awoken
Carry on my friends, forget bout’ the sorrow
Carry on my friends in this fight for tomorrow
Surely it’s love that’ll douse all the hatred
The future it’s yours, go on and take it
Carry on my friends, forget bout’ the sorrow
Carry on my friends in this fight for tomorrow
Surely one day we’ll all wake up together
The weight of the world will feel light as a feather
Carry on my friends, forget bout’ the sorrow
Carry on my friends in this fight for tomorrow
Hope, it can come in all shapes and all sizes
From all people, all places, sunsets and sunrises
Carry on my friends, forget bout’ the sorrow
Carry on my friends in this fight for tomorrow

Don't Tell the Taxman
02:51

People put their money in my guitar case
I give it all away to make the world a better place
I can’t give it to the government they’ll put it in the tar sands
But shush, quiet, don’t tell the taxman
People give me money just to sing em’ a tune
It’s a quarter in December, a nickel in June
I can’t give it to the government they’ll fill another gas can
But shush, quiet, don’t tell the taxman
Taxes are a funny thing, we pay them all the time
Give your government a dollar, they’ll give you back a dime
Except if you’re wealthy, you can break all the laws
Give your money a vacation, send it down to Panama
Property’s a funny thing, we like to draw lines
That side is yours, this side is mine
Except we stole it from the Indians and never gave it back
But shush, quiet, won’t talk about that

Big Blue Sea
03:40
|

|
I sleep when I’m stoned and wake up high
There’s no good reason for me to lie
And I’ve done some thinking in my time
A lot about loving, a little about life
I’m growing tired of feeling small
I live in the spring, forget about fall
I hear the end is coming, death and all
I live in the spring, I forget about fall
I look to the water and what did I see
A faceless reflection looking back at me
And it’s not because I lack personality
I’ve just been here for a while, I’m the big blue sea
I get lost sometimes thinking about you
Thinking all that we’ve and all that we’ll do
I’m growing tired of feeling small
I live in the spring, forget about fall
I hear the end is coming, death and all
I live in the spring, I forget about fall
I get lost sometimes thinking about you
Thinking all that we’ve and all that we do

An Opportunity
04:20

We’re in the middle of a crisis on a climatic scale
The storms are getting stronger, wind, rain and hail
As the politicians lie we’re all set to fail
Unless the people rise up and love prevails
So demand an end to the bombs and invasions
To oil, gas and coal and corporate persuasion
Where the wealthy stay rich cause of tax evasions
Time to open up our eyes complete the equation
Give power to the people, the people fight back
Enough with the division, nobody needs that
Enough with words like White, Asian and Black
We all came from Africa and that’s a fact
Rise up together, united we stand
To overgrow a system that threatens our land
With simple things like community, love and unity
Turn this fight into an opportunity
We’ll stop pipelines with frontlines, fracking with feet
Drills rigs with kayaks, hatred with beats
Save our brothers and sisters from the rising seas
And give shelter and food to all the refugees
Then we’ll starting building a world we’re proud to call home
One that’s full of gardens where no one’s alone
Where the rivers run freely and the grasses grow
And when we walk down the street we actually say hello
Like when somebody needs help we lend a hand
When someone’s different we try to understand
When we’ve got more than others we give what we can
Only take what we need, share what we have
Rise up together, united we stand
To overgrow a system that threatens our land
With simple things like community, love and unity
Turn this fight into an opportunity
At the end of the day it comes right now to you
You gonna sit back, watch and let the lies push through?
Or you gonna stand up, fight back, join the crew
Put the future in our pouch like a kangaroo
See I used to worried that we wouldn’t succeed
That somehow we’d lose to hands of greed
But it’s becoming quite clear that the people are free
Turning I and mine to ours and we
And I’ve met thousands of em’ from all over the planet
They get what I’m saying, see we all understand that
The changes are coming, the movement is here
There’s only one way forward and it’s without fear
Rise up together, united we stand
To overgrow a system that threatens our land
With simple things like community, love and unity
Turn this fight into an opportunity

With You, To Be
02:33
|

I’d cross an ocean, I’d sail a sea
I’d climb a mountain, with you, to be
With you, to be, I’d sail a sea
I am not frightened, I am not lost
I am not worried how far across
Between you and me, I’d sail a sea
There ain’t no river I wouldn’t ford
There ain’t no valley I’d stand before
There ain’t no distance to keep you from me
Cause’ I’d cross an ocean, I’d sail a sea
I’d save a river, I’d plant a tree
Cause’ I love the future like you love me
Like you love me, I’d sail a sea

No River
04:23

I walked down to the water, stuck my feet into the sand
It helps me with my troubles, helps me understand
Without it I am nothing, it’s really all that I have
Without we are nothing, no river no man
If you’re ever feeling lonely, I’m right here
Walk on down to the water, see it all so clear
As I’m growing outward I put some time into my roots
For when the wind starts a’ blowin, the storms pushing through
Without it I am nothing, it’s really all that I have
Without we are nothing, no river no man
If you’re ever feeling lonely, I’m right here
Walk on down to the water, see it all so clear
I walked down to the water, stuck my feet into the sand
It helps me with my worries, helps me understand
Without it I am nothing, it’s really all that I have
Without we are nothing, no river no man
If you’re ever feeling lonely, I’m right here
Walk on down to the water, see it all so clear

Waves

The time has come for you to rise up
But how long? How long? How long?
We cannot stay with you this way
But how long? How long? How long?
If you say, then I’ll stand by you
In the interest of staying afloat
I get up and try again
Cause I’m worried that if I don’t
I’ll be calling my own end
The time is here so go forth, no fear
How long? How long? How long?
There’s no time to waste, it’s already too late
How long? How long? How long?
If you say, then I’ll stand by you
In the interest of staying afloat
I get up and try again
Cause I’m worried that if I don’t
I’ll be calling my own end
It comes in waves
It comes in waves
It comes in waves, yes, and one day, it’ll all just go away
