Thrive 04:05
The flowers and the bees Love the Sun and the trees, you know that they thrive together The waves on the sea set the pelicans free, you know that they fly together The king of the jungle needs the elephant’s rumble, you know they’re alive together Everything in this place has its time and its space, you know that we thrive together And I know I thrive on Love, so let’s thrive together The river’s flowing feeds the fish in the ocean, you know that they thrive together The tiniest bug flies the heavens above, you know that they fly together Those worms in the dirt feed all life on the Earth, you know we’re alive together Every creature and seed needs the air that we breath, no doubt that we thrive together And I know I thrive on Love, and I know you thrive on Love, no doubt we thrive on love, so let’s thrive together The smallest child needs her mother’s smile, you know that they thrive together Those kids in the street with nothing to eat, still they thrive together The prince and the pauper got the same thing to offer, you know we thrive together Everyone that you see has got someone they need, no doubt that we thrive together And I know I thrive on Love, and you know you thrive on Love, no doubt we thrive on love, so let’s thrive together Come on, let’s thrive together Everyone, let’s thrive together

Hey Alright 03:16
I’ve been running ‘round these days finding things I can’t replace I’ve seen the Moon caught in a phase in this extraordinary place Hey alright, I guess it’s time Hey alright, I leave you behind I’ve been pacing down this floor but I can’t seem to find the door Am I waiting for my turn? Is there something I should learn? Hey alright, I guess it’s time Hey alright, I leave this behind But I’ve been sitting down so long I can feel it in my bones I’ve been waiting all along for this life to call my own Hey alright, I guess it’s time Hey alright, I leave this behind

Honey Bee 02:06
My woman she’s something to see My lady she’s the honey bee She roams from flower to flower She makes me that sweet honey I’ll take me that cup of coffee I’ll take me that cup of tea I don’t need no cream no sugar Just give me that sweet honey I tried me that dark molasses I tried me that sugar cane I tried me that artificial sweetener But that shit don’t taste the same I like honey from a wild flower I like honey from a citrus tree I like honey from a field of clover But ain’t nothing like my honey bee Will you find her in the city Or will you find her up in a tree Wherever she be buzzing She’s making that sweet honey Early now in the morning She’s buzzing right next to me Late, late now in the evening She’s making that sweet honey

You Will 03:21
Every day you’re thinking ‘bout it All these worries running ‘round Inside your head, inside your heart Why’s it got to be so hard All this pain, all this doubt Makes you want to scream and shout Always tryin’ to figure out What the hell’s it all about But you will’ you’ll find out what it’s all about Of this I have no doubt People try to get together Always thinking that they’ll never Find the one that they need To fix their life, make them complete Keep them safe in the cold Fill that hole down in their soul Till they find that they were wrong They were perfect all along But they will, they’ll find out what it’s all about Of this I have no doubt You say it so much it must be true There ain’t no one who’s gonna want you But you know it ain’t the way it is You’re addicted to some bad ideas I know it might sound cliche’ But you don’t have to win that race Just find the truth down in your heart Yeah, all you got to do is start But you will, and I will, and we will, we’ll find out what it’s all about Of this I have no doubt

Step Aside 04:00
You say I oughta see things in your way Like all I’ve come to known is just a lie All along my world was just a fake If I could only see it through your eyes But these are not your eyes And this is not your life So if you step aside maybe you could see the light Yesterday I was hungry for a meal I stepped into a fight I asked a man to imagine how he’d feel If he could see it through their eyes I know they’re not your eyes I know I have no right But if you step aside maybe you could see the light I their eyes I met a man as I was walking on the way He said “brother can you spare a dime” I looked at him and I forgot what I was gonna say I saw a mirror in his eyes I knew they were my eyes But in another life And as I looked inside all that I could see was light As I looked inside I saw they were my eyes But in another life And all that I could see was light In his eyes

Down on a mountain Snow in the sky I’m struggling to see With snow in my eyes But I can feel you Everywhere The shadows on me From the birds in the air Cast your shadow on me from high above In my lonely My lonely days I would give But I would take Now I am rising And I can see The dawn is shining On you and me Shine your light on me now every day The birds above me They speak in squeaks, they speak in squawks They’re trying to tell me I’m one of the flock So now I am flying high above, above the ground Now I am singing a brand new sound So fly on with me Just spread your wings and lift yourself You know you’re only lying to yourself

Here I am with all my friends Here I am alone again All I have I can not keep I have much more than I need So who am I to say I’m stuck Who am I to say life ain’t enough When I got everything I need All laid out in front of me My food it grows right out the ground There’s more than enough to go around The trees they make the air I breath All that is the Earth beneath my feet So I got everything I need But does that mean I’m happy I’m tired, I’m bored, I’m sad, I’m scared Of what surrounds me everywhere Those evil men with their evil games I look inside and I see the same So who am I to place my blame Who am I, yeah tell me what’s my name Who am I, what can I do I’m Just a man I’m just like you Now as far as I can see All I can see exists in me And there ain’t nothing in my world That isn’t somewhere in my soul So who am I, what can I do How will I ever make it through I’ll make my life a work of art I’ll be a candle in the dark Give thanks for the Earth beneath my feet And savor every bite I eat Give my Love to every man My enemies, my lovers and my friends It don’t matter who you are I count my family like the stars When this life of mine is done I will go back to where I’m from

If I sang you this song would you give me a dollar If I said sing along now would you bother If I bared my soul here would you listen If I never made a dime would I still have a reason To keep singing If I wore nicer clothes would it make me hotter Is it the holes in my jeans that makes you think that I’m a pauper If I sang different words would this song be better In the eyes of the men way up high in their tower Built on the power to choose what we hear If I was up on a stage with the spotlight on me Would you say I was a rock star shining brightly If you saw my face there on your TV Would you be more inclined to listen to me If instead of this verse I played a guitar solo Or sang some cliche’ hook that everyone knows If this song sounded more like something you had heard Would it still be my music For what its worth

I am walking, I am running, I am sprinting, I am flying I am floating, I am swimming, I am sinking, I am drowning I am sitting, I am reading, I am thinking, I am freaking I am cruising, I am driving, I am speeding, I am crashing I am beating, I am breathing, I am hearing, I am seeing I am grooving, I am moving, I am dancing, I am singing I am talking, I am speaking, I am preaching, I am screaming I am working, I am praying, I am hoping I am leaving this behind

Well they’re lying to you on the TV Things just ain’t what they used to be All around the world leaves are falling from the tree They’re telling you that you could be All that you ever wanna be But what they’re really selling is volunteer slavery You don’t own the house that you live in You don’t grow the food that you’re eating All around the world leaves are falling from the tree Tell me now have you ever seen the soul of another One of your sisters and brothers sleeping out in the gutter Ain’t no roof over their head Ain’t no comfort in their bed All around the world leaves are falling from the tree How many times have they told you There ain’t nothing that you can do It’s just the way it is and things ain’t ever gonna change But they’re lying to you on the TV You only see what you wanna see All around the world leaves are falling from the tree All the things that you thought to be true may quickly desert you Everything you’ve come to rely on may slowly fade away I ain’t trying to scare you Only make you think All about the life that you’re leading All about the people you’re Loving If all of this were gone Who’s gonna hold you up?

about

The flowers and the bees Love the Sun and the trees, you know that they thrive together. So why don't we? Written during a period in which I was traveling the west coast with my partner and living out of our van "Samson," this album is an exploration of the experiences, people and places that taught me what I really need in order to not just live, but truly thrive. Included within this exploration is the question, what is it that keeps us all from thriving, in our environment, our relationships, and in our own minds?
