THE FIRST TIME
I just spoke to you on the phone, but I don’t think I had enough yet
Would it be too much if I called you back?
‘Cause your voice enters my ear and tunes my brain to alpha waves
My body melts like I’m a drunken mime
We’re together a while
But it feels like the first time
Just saw you getting ready for work, but my eyes are still hungry
Would it be too much if you didn’t go?
‘Cause your magnetism is like a prism parting rays of red in rainbows
Making R-Rated movies play in my mind
We’re together a while
But it feels like the first time
No more living under pressure
No more waiting for a treasure
We had our share of hard times, but came through
It’s easier for me when I got you
Just saw you getting ready for work, but my eyes are still hungry
Would it be too much if you didn’t go?
Would it be too much if you just didn’t go?
‘Cause your magnetism is like a prism parting rays of red in rainbows
Making the spiciest movies play in my mind
We’re together a while
But it feels like the first time
We’re together a while
But it feels like the first time

You Get Me High

YOU GET ME HIGH
I’m a sucker for your beauty
Do you know that you sleep and I stay watching you like a recently cured blind man?
Coffee is usually my most exciting morning thing
But now there’s you
And you get me high
Shoot me up to the sky
I am so beyond the point of hypnotized
I’m held by the shapes that elevate the sheet from the flat surface of the bed
And I’m dying to check what’s underneath again
To see if I missed a bit
And to get drunker with
‘Cause you get me high
Shoot me up to the sky
You get me high
Shoot me up to the sky

So Identified

SO IDENTIFIED
Spent my life chasing a dream
Oh what a ride, what a ride, what a ride it has been
But now that I had a few seasons on me
I don’t even know if I want this anymore
It’s so hard for me
It’s so hard for me
To confess
‘Cause I’ve been
So identified
Spent my time chasing an illusion
Oh what a ride, what a ride, what a ride of confusion
But now that I had a few chapters on me
I realize what’s happening right now
Right here and now
It’s so hard for me
To let go
‘Cause I’ve been
So identified
Just want to spend my time with you
I like it when it’s simple
I feel my way into your sea
And you know just how to pull me
Spent too long on hamster wheels
It’s crazy, it’s crazy, it’s crazy
And it kills
But now that I had a few punches and tired
Instead of blacking out I woke up in the dream
I got it all right here
But it was hard before
To accept
Reality
‘Cause I was so identified
Just want to spend my time with you
I like it when it’s simple
I feel my way into your sea
And you know just how to pull me
I was hanging in the kitchen with my friends
Hearing crazy conversations until the mind bends
What’s the use of trying to force opinion?
When everybody’s mind is their own dominion
I think they were oblivious to their crazy thinking
It seemed they didn’t know that their clock is ticking
Thank God I found what’s important for me
At home with my love is where I want to be
Through the eyes of love is how I want to see
Just want to spend my time with you
I like it when it’s simple
I feel my way into your sea
You pull me
Just want to spend my time with you
I like it when it’s simple
I feel my way into your sea
And you know just how to pull me

More Myself With You

MORE MYSELF WITH YOU
Love of my life
You have transformed me
Love of my life
You unveil
You uncover my eyes
I’m more myself with you
Love of my life
I could not have a better one
Love of my life
You understand
And insist that I be true
I’m more myself with you
Now my imagination is my consolation
As I use it to be with you
But my imagination, though boundless, is a deviation
From the perfection that is you
Love of my life
You’re so kind to me
Love of my life
You saw me through all those things I put you through
I want to thank you
My imagination is my consolation
As I use it to be with you
But my imagination, though boundless, is a deviation
From the perfection that is you
My imagination is my consolation
As I use it to be with you
But my imagination, though boundless, is a deviation
From the perfection that’s you
My imagination is my consolation
Now that you’re not here and I use it to be with you
But my imagination, though boundless, is a deviation
From the perfection that is you
I want the real thing
Ain’t nothing like the real thing

MENINA LINDA
Menina Linda
Corpo dourado pelo sol
De ida e vinda
Alma fisgada por vontade a teu anzol
Eu sou criança
E nesta dança
Peço que pense com cautela o que vai fazer com o meu coração
Tudo balança
Minh’alma lança o corpo
Sem asa
Demandando por ti
Ascensão
Por tua causa
O tempo pausa
E eu me perco
Caleidoscópico olhar
Por tua culpa
Vênus em tulpa
Me prendo a geometria da tua forma

Sem asa
Demandando por ti

HOME, FAMILY & ROOTS
I was one when I left
Now I’m back and I’m another
It’s not so much that I have changed
So much as I became more myself
But is there greater yearning in the heart of a traveler
Than the yearning for home, family and roots
Prospects here
Loved ones there
I thought it would be easier when I left
Different things in different places
But they are all one in my heart
I have changed
And I am gone
But I’ll always be where my heart is
And is there greater yearning in the heart of a man
Than the yearning for home, family and roots
Money here
Beaches there
I guess I’ll later buy the time I spent
Is there greater yearning in the heart of a soul
Than the yearning for home, family and roots
Dharma here
Karma there
I guess I’ll take it one breath at a time

A BIRD’S SONG
One lovely little bird came to visit me today
Welcome me as I stay in the Presence of the Sun Ray
I was feeling incomplete
Like I needed to be more to be loved
Terrible illusion!
Sweet little bird, thank you
For showing me that I don’t have to be no one
Or do
Or have
Or finish what I started
I just choose to be One
You are too a mirror for me
Clear day or night so stormy
I know I can do as you’ve done
Soar like the One
Be like the Sun
Fly forever
Sing forever
Land whenever you feel you want to
One lovely little bird came to visit me today
Welcome me as I stay in the Presence of the Sun Ray
Fly forever
Sing forever
Land whenever
If I know one thing I know this:
To give all up that’s short of Bliss
Is what the Highest conquest is
And when I fly and make my sound
I know that all the birds around will get it
Love is common ground
The only common ground!
So fly and make your sound!
(Fly forever, sing forever, land whenever you want to)

SIMPLE PLEASURES
I have a house with my love
We dance around the living room
Could it be any better?
‘Cause it’s pretty awesome now
I have a forest I delve into
I see a bear and I smile at it
Could it be any better?
‘Cause it’s pretty perfect now
I’m a man of simple pleasures
I value what people overlook
‘Cause they actually overlook wealth and power all the time
Believe it
I have a mother
A father too
I love ‘em so
And they love me too
Could it be any better?
Well, it is. I got siblings too
I have a friend
Who plays guitar
It goes so well
With my melodies
Could it be any better?
‘Cause it’s pretty awesome now
I’m a man of simple pleasures
I value what people overlook
And they actually overlook wealth and power all the time
Believe it
‘Cause it’s within
It’s within
Yeah, it’s within
Wealth and power are within
Yeah it’s within
It’s within
Wealth and power are within
Wealth and power are within
I have a house with my love
We fool around
And when I see her cooking in the kitchen…
Could it be any better?
‘Cause it’s pretty sexy now
I’m a man of simple pleasures
I value what people overlook
And they actually overlook wealth and power all the time
Believe it
‘Cause it’s within
It’s within
Yeah, it’s within
Wealth and power are within
Yeah, it’s within
It’s within
Wealth and power are within
Wealth and power are within
Yeah it’s within
It’s within
Yeah, it’s within
Ooh wealth and power is within
Yeah it’s within
It’s within
Wealth and power are within
Wealth and power are within
Just like beauty
Just like glory
Just like love
Just like happiness
Just like God
Wealth and power are within
Wealth and power are within
Within

FILL MY HEART
Fill my heart
With your love
Fill my heart
Until it overflows
Fill my heart
Is what I want from you
You send me on a quest for naming all the stars
And counting all the moons
But what I want from you is that you
Fill my heart
With your love
Fill my heart
Until it overflows
Fill my heart
Is what I want from you
You send me on a quest for knowing everything
And saving all the people in the world
But I got it all in my chest
All I need is
Fill my heart
With your love
Fill my heart
Until it overflows
Fill my heart
Is what I want from you
Fill my heart!

My Best Friend

MY BEST FRIEND
My best friend
I wish you were here today
To break the silence
To paint a picture
Prettier than this might sky and sea
With your smile
My best friend
I want to discover you
Travel your pale skin
You magnetize me like
A pagan deity just might
When her secrets are revealed
And she smiles
Goddess
Child
Mother
Lover
Sexual
Saint
You’re my everything!
But for now I’ll say this:
I long for and miss
My best friend
My best friend
With her scintillating eyes
In the best virescent light
No finer jewels I’d find
Goddess
Child
Mother
Lover
Sexual
Saint
You’re my everything!
Muse and artist
Prize and hero
Death to my needs
You’re my everything!
Yet for now I’ll say this:
I long for and miss
My best friend
