Cosmic Soul (LP)

The Lingering On (Searching for the cosmic soul) It's like I was living in a dream It's like I was living in a dream Oh what are these dreams? And what do they mean? It's like I was living in a dream ...And all the people who defined you Linger on to remind you Of where you’ve been and are meant to be And you can’t help but look around At all the hearts in the lost and found But you’ll be stronger if you repeat after me Oh love don’t hurt me anymore Seems like we’ve all been through this before Oh love don’t hurt me anymore Seems like we’ve all been through this before Oh we’re not here to be united in our suffering Oh don’t make me wonder what’s wrong with me Oh we’re not here to be united in our suffering Oh don’t make me wonder what’s wrong with me Don’t make me wonder what’s wrong with me Don’t make me wonder what’s wrong with me Don’t make me wonder what’s wrong with me Don’t make me wonder what’s wrong with me And finding community is a necessity To avoid chaotic tendencies For it can be so hard to go through life alone And though family can be a nightmare Don’t you ever forget how you got here And keep in mind that some of us don’t have the luxury of returning home Oh how I was dying to live But I got so much left to give Oh how I was dying to live But I got so much left to give Oh we’re not here to be united in our suffering Oh don’t make me wonder what’s wrong with me Oh we’re not here to be united in our suffering Oh don’t make me wonder what’s wrong with me Oh don’t make me wonder what’s wrong with me Don’t make me wonder what’s wrong with me Oh don’t make me wonder what’s wrong with me Don’t make me wonder Lost my direction, but saw my reflection Lost my direction, but saw my reflection Lost my direction, but saw my reflection Lost my direction, but saw my reflection

Remembering the way she walked away Sittin’ in a jail cell with that bright light on your face Asking, “what time is it?” as if that's all you can say Knowing you gotta get out of town or else dig your grave And if you could get past the mania, would it all be better? Oh no, there’s no hope unless you wanna be a slave And if there’s love, you know it’s so deep inside her That to get it out would cause too much pain Oh but if we really loved ourselves, then we’d ask for help If we’re unable to just walk away And if we really loved ourselves, we wouldn’t give our heart to someone else Who don’t care if you go or you stay And you got to love yourself before you give out your love And you got to love yourself before you give out your love And you got to love yourself before you give out your love And you got to love yourself before you give out your love And just as I left, I have come with good intentions With peace in my heart and in my mind And that I’ve remained only proves me lucky Knowing that with silence you are still choosing a side But if we really loved ourselves, then we’d ask for help If we’re unable to just walk away And if we really loved ourselves, we wouldn’t give our heart to someone else Who don’t care if you go or you stay And you got to love yourself before you give out your love And you got to love yourself before you give out your love And you got to love yourself before you give out your love And you got to love yourself before you give out your love Celebrate your body Celebrate your body Celebrate your body Celebrate your body

Another Time 05:09
I know you thought this would be our last incarnation But based on how things ended, I got some reservations Oh will you find me again in this life? Or are you waiting for another time? Now when I was a child maybe 12 years old I was camping in the Boy Scouts and saw a star explode Wondering if that was our doomed fate many lightyears ago Standing back here on Earth just trying to make it a home Singin' Oh will you find me again in this life? Or are you waiting for another time? Oh will you find me again in this life? Or are you waiting for another time? Meanwhile when I talk, people say they have a hard time understandin’ In fact, they used to say I had a speech impediment But there’s nothing wrong with me There’s nothing wrong with me There’s nothing wrong with me Oh I’m just new here Yeah, I’m just new here Oh will you find me again in this life? Or are you waiting for another time? Oh will you find me again in this life? Or are you waiting for another time? Now I’m out here underneath the moonlight And I say that, but there’s not a moon in sight Just an infinity of stars caressing my eyes Flickering like candle lights And it reminds me And it reminds me And it reminds me And it reminds me Of another time Another time Another time Another time Another time Another time Another time Another time Oh will you find me again in this life? Or are you waiting for another time? Oh will you find me again in this life? Or are you waiting for another time? Oh will you find me again in this life? Or are you waiting for another time? Oh will you find me again in this life? Or are you waiting for another time?

I’ll chase these visions to the edge of the earth if I have to To the spirit I’m listenin’ and I know just now what I gotta do I’m a long way from home But thank G-d for the telephone, so I can say All is forgiven All is forgiven All is forgiven All is forgiven And retrograde is over so we can return to the world if we want to And love can’t be conquered for even the strongest army wouldn’t know what to do Do you feel the power? Well, I feel it to, singin’ All is forgiven All is forgiven All is forgiven All is forgiven All is forgiven All is forgiven All is forgiven All is forgiven

And you got to love yourself before you give out your love And you got to love yourself before you give out your love And you got to love yourself before you give out your love And you got to love yourself before you give out your love

I was dreaming, I was lost I’ve been found, now I'm gone Searching for that magical being The uncovering of the mystery Now that I’m home from away And it’s where I wanna stay I’m among the flowers in the grass In clothes I found on the street while walking past People always ask how I make money Oh but they never ask how I make love So tell me are you here just 'cause you’re lonely? Oh I want a lover who loves me and I know I’m not the only one So is there logic, is there reason To be found in our affliction? The highway enticed me before I called it home But such is a lesson in how it goes I met a man in a park And we talked, it grew dark Speaking of innocence in its primal state Can we ever return or is it to late? And people always ask how I make money Oh but they never ask how I make love So tell me are you here just 'cause you’re lonely? Oh I want a lover who loves me and I know I’m not the only one And flowers don’t compare themselves to other flowers They just open on up and let themselves bloom Yet here we are forgetting our powers When we could be the source of the light, the illuminated few And people always ask how I make money Oh but they never ask how I make love So tell me are you here just 'cause you’re lonely? Oh I want a lover who loves me and I know I’m not the only one People always ask how I make money Oh but they never ask how I make love So tell me are you here just 'cause you’re lonely? Oh I want a lover who loves me and I know I’m not the only one

If you stop caring about what other people think, You’ll have a much better experience in life Oh but, if you’re gonna go around saying that everything’s so bleak, You might need to give it a few more tries And I don’t know about you but I think That everything is gonna be It’s gonna be alright Alright Alright Alright Now there’s all these people yelling at each other Demanding that the rest of us choose a side Oh but I ain’t nothin’ to them but another number Just to echo that their voice is right I didn’t do nothin’, I’m just sayin’ That everything is gonna be It’s gonna be alright Alright Alright Alright Oh I am who I am And you are who you are We bend with the wind And bow to the stars And we look to the future When the world will be ours As we open the gates By opening our hearts I am who I am And you are who you are We bend with the wind And bow to the stars And we look to the future When the world will be ours As we open the gates By opening our hearts Baba ghanoush, Baba ghanoush, Baba ghanoush

I’m sending my thoughts to your universe wherever you are Are you still casting spells? Still reading the stars? Still smoking dirty cigarettes like we used to do? Just passing the time for a moment or two Well, I still think of you often though I don’t speak with you much I may be out of reach but I’m not out of touch Well, when you find yourself some money to afford you some plans Oh maybe I’ll see you in Portland Oh maybe I’ll see you in Portland And though we never were lovers, we never needed to be Our friendship now infinite and infinitely free And I hope you’re doing well; please write when you can And maybe I’ll see you in Portland Oh maybe I’ll see you in Portland Maybe I’ll see you in Portland Maybe I’ll see you in Portland Maybe I’ll see you in Portland Maybe I’ll see you in Portland And you were one of the kindest souls I ever did meet When I invited you up to step in from the street Well, when the backpacker blues start settling in Oh maybe I’ll see you in Portland Oh maybe I’ll see you in Portland And hitching Ireland was a pilgrimage, we knew it at the time Searching the soul of your late grandfather and for yours and for mine And if you find yourself still searching, the grass is green where I live And maybe I’ll see you in Portland Oh maybe I’ll see you in Portland Maybe I’ll see you in Portland Maybe I’ll see you in Portland Maybe I’ll see you in Portland Maybe I’ll see you in Portland And we seriously thought we’d serve Peace Corps, but couldn’t bear it alone Still it’s so beautiful to know we’re that much of a home And homes are tough keeping, so I’m blessed this is it So maybe I’ll see you in Portland Oh maybe I’ll see you in Portland But wherever we're living, we’re living the same At home in a heartbeat when we waltz with the rain But I’ve gotten better at dancing and I’ve started a band And so maybe I’ll see you in Portland Oh maybe I’ll see you in Portland Maybe I’ll see you in Portland Maybe I’ll see you in Portland Maybe I’ll see you in Portland Maybe I’ll see you in Portland Maybe I’ll see you in Portland Maybe I’ll see you in Portland Maybe I’ll see you in Portland Maybe I’ll see you in Portland

It’s that cosmic feeling It’s that cosmic feeling It’s that cosmic feeling It’s that cosmic feeling When these serendipitous times won’t leave you alone Basking in your holiness and rattling your bones At the gathering of peacocks or in the letters you wrote Or to where this song disappears after it’s final note It’s that cosmic feeling It’s that cosmic feeling It’s that cosmic feeling It’s that cosmic feeling When nostalgia is the master of your wise old soul And your nomadic nature leaves you high on the road Giving yourself to the universe to carry you home Taking one last look at this world before you go It’s that cosmic feeling It’s that cosmic feeling It’s that cosmic feeling It’s that cosmic feeling Oh sweet brightness of being Oh sweet, sweet brightness Oh sweet brightness of being Oh sweet, sweet brightness And we’re searching for some kind of freedom Oh sweet, sweet brightness Yeah we’re searching for some kind of freedom Oh sweet, sweet brightness It’s that cosmic feeling It’s that cosmic feeling It’s that cosmic feeling It’s that cosmic feeling It’s the combination of stars It’s the combination of stars It’s the combination of stars It’s that cosmic feeling, cosmic feeling, yeah, alright And we do not exist merely as a part of each other's realities, But rather, As a continuation.

I’ve been making peace with myself and who I was before I arrived to the state that I’m in Bidding good riddance to the scars concealed by the costumes I wore Which reached out for more wounds to befriend And as I linger in the present, I’m left tracing the past The cripples in the composition incomplete But if I’m strong enough to stand, I will stand up to say That the old tired cycle ends with me Love wins, love will always win I’ll say it again and again, love will always win Love wins, love will always win I’ll say it again and again, love will always win Empowered women empower women Who improve this world, this world we live in Empowered women empower women Who improve this world, this world we live in Empowered women empower women Who improve this world, this world we live in Empowered women empower women Who improve this world, this world we live in And I’m tired of this hypersexualized society Lusting after our vulnerable and justifying its greed We’re neither ignorant, nor stupid, nor up for sale So why do we tolerate living in this hell? Oh we know we all deserve better, we deserve to be free So please just take a moment to rinse and repeat Singin' My body is a temple and my body is for me My body is a temple and my body is for me My body is a temple and my body is for me My body is a temple and my body is for me My body is a temple and my body is for me My body is a temple and my body is for me My body is a temple and my body is for me My body is a temple and my body is for me Love wins, love will always win I’ll say it again and again, love will always win Love wins, love will always win I’ll say it again and again, love will always win Love wins, love will always win I’ll say it again and again, love will always win Love wins, love will always win I’ll say it again and again, love will always win And life is only beginning And life is only beginning And life is only beginning And life is only beginning And life is only beginning And life is only beginning And life is only beginning And life is only beginning
