Forty years and going strong
A billion miles may seem quite long
Going where no man has gone before
Two deep space odysseys to see the things you could not see
Hearts and minds set to explore
Deep in icy nights we still hold the light
We speed away with still much to say
In your paradigm
Many new discoveries – Leaving all those memories
We leave you with pictures and sound
Men and women with brilliant minds representing all mankind
Penetrates the depths too profound
Deep in icy nights there is no goodnight
Staring back you are so dim – We continue to do our swim
All along the celestial void
Records carry humanity stripped from all the insanity
You can create and destroy
Deep in icy nights we still hold the light
Deep in icy nights there is no goodnight
Out beyond our neighborhood
Searching for some brotherhood
Not knowing what we may find
If we can communicate and find ourselves a new playmate
If we are so inclined
Deep in icy nights we can reach new heights

Hear Me Out
05:14
|

I won’t be terrorized
I won’t be criticized
by the walls that keep me in
I aim to clarify
I aim to emphasize
how the world is all our home
See me, hear me out
Freedom today
See me, hear me out
Love always wins…some way
I dare you to visualize
A world with no boundary lines
Where we’re all part of the dream
Wisdom in compromise
No one’s left victimized
By our tugging at the seams
See me, hear me out
You’ll be in my shoes someday
See me, hear me out
Love always wins…some way
I’ll be here til the end of time
Peaceful victory will be mine
But you can try and try to bring me down
You can’t beat the voice back inside of me
Gonna see good trouble coming out of me
You can’t resist the power of truth
You won’t kill the hope of youth
Still I’ll stand
Still I’ll speak
Still I’ll love
Still I’ll seek God’s justice in the world today
There's no easy way forward
Be kind, stay strong
My friend

Turnaround

Been to mountain
And I walked to the edge
Pacific horizons
Let my heart and mind ascend
Like the ocean you’re so deep and blue
America, adolescence suits you
It’s time to reach for something new
No proven way, no real answers
But I’ll go with you to the edge
We set our sites for the outer atmosphere
And we’ll bind us all together
Connect our hearts forever - turnaround
You make a stretch for the left coast
I’ll climb to the highest peak
Lest we get turned around
Fill the valley
Cut the rock
Stretch the wire, connect the dots
Bending time and space
Bid the old world adieu
Break from the foul, stinking, tired taboos
It’s time to reach for something new
Blind as a patriot cancer
Standing at the new trailhead
We set our sites for the outer atmosphere
Crash through the fear that pulls us down
Across the sky, freedom bound
You make your way to the east coast
I’ll reach out my hand to you
Lest we get turned around
Brave every newfound adventure
Waving at the bright days ahead
We set our sites for the outer atmosphere
And we’ll bind us all together
Connect our hearts forever - turnaround
You make a stretch for the space coast
I’ll climb to the highest peak
Lest we get turned around

Protectors

2 standing tall
Never fail never fall
Sky of blue
Waves of green
All is serene
The protectors
Reaching high
2 the sky
Swaying in the wind
Speaking to me
All is serene
The protectors
Spring, summer, fall into winter
Standing so tall
Breathing life
See you dancing above it all

Somethings Changed
03:45

It’s all wrong but where do I begin?
Before it starts to happen again
Looks like we’ve entered a tailspin
You keep me out of range and it all seems prearranged
It feels like something’s changed
Nothing is right where do I belong
Nothing to see she said move along
That’s why I’m putting it down in this song
What did we exchange that made you so deranged
It feels like something’s changed
Last night all you said was a warning
Last night then you left
Next day there was no good morning
Next day nothing expressed
I could have guessed…I digress
How does it end do we say so long
If I can only be so strong
Will you remember me when I’m gone
It’s time to turn the page and release me from this cage
It feels like something’s changed

Mouse in the Mill

“Power concedes nothing without a demand,
it never did and never will”
This is where we take our stand
The hate and division it spreads through our land
Death of us all
Mouse in the mill
Is this what it takes to shake hands?
How do I fight?
Who knows what’s right?
Will it matter anyway?
Too corrupt and blinded
Why can’t you see it our way?
Leave it to the high-minded
This ain’t no, no giveaway
The conflict grows closer
How does it cease?
Power of love - love of power
Which will bring us all peace?
Let’s work to be united
Bury all the clichés
We all want to be invited
This ain’t no, no giveaway
Let’s work to be united
Can’t we see it both ways
We all want to be excited
This ain’t no, no giveaway
I miss the before
Hell, I miss the now
It’s complicated and that’s ok
New chapter in life
Scared to turn the page
It’s complicated are we ok?
The ignorance of youth becomes the wisdom of age
Let’s work to be united
This ain’t no, this ain’t no, no giveaway

Ghost

It’s been too long since I’ve seen you friend
It’s good to see your face
Memories run of sunny days
And what could have been
It’s been a long time
It’s good to see your face
There’s so much that we share and say
But it quickly fades
I’m back in my place, solitary grace
Lonely in my crowd
I’m sure you can hear me
Your eyes say your don’t understand
A stranger in my house
Staring straight thru me
Am I talk in tongues?
We all want to know we belong somewhere
We all want to know we belong somewhere
I know you don’t believe me
But I swear I want you to need me
I know you don’t believe me
But I swear I want you to need me
And my heart it breaks when the words don’t take
And I feel the cold, cold alone

Halfway Home

No, you aren’t fooling me at all
I said stand, stand and be counted for what you ought to believe
There’s falling darkness, hatred ahead
Know what you’re fighting or you’ll end up dead
Would it be foolish if I said no way?
Picked up my feelings
Never to give or to receive
There’s ten good reasons but you already know
Those silly habits we must all outgrow
Now don’t be careless
Admit when you’re wrong
Put up or shut up
Wear your heart upon your sleeve
There’s no good reason to be left alone
Find common ground and you are halfway home
We set off to chart the stars
Protecting all our scars
Taking time to cast a stone and we find we’re halfway home
Around the fire we play guitars
Write down our memoirs
Morning light and fresh ozone and we find we’re halfway home
Toasting friends we smoke cigars
We act like superstars
All the while we must atone and we find we’re halfway home

Way Too Long
05:31

Who can override? Pull the cable and stop this game
This game of life
And in my lurch, I took my own advice
And did things through your eyes
And I hit it on the nines
But hey, I couldn’t have been that wrong
That’s the way it goes
Who can overrun?
Storm the tower and put to shame
Stick in the knife
And in my lurch, I took my own advice
Try not to advertise
And I only took what’s mine
But hey, I couldn’t be true for you
That’s no surprise
Stop going on and on and on
It’s been that way too long
Who said I’m qualified?
I never knew you’d pass the blame
Cause all this strife
And in my lurch I took my own advice
And worked through all your lies
Picking up on all your signs
But hey, I couldn’t have been that strong
That’s the way it goes
Stop going on and on and on
It’s been that way too long
But hey, I learned a thing or two
That’s no surprise
Stop going on and on and on
It’s been that way too long

Twilight
04:40

Oh, say can you see by the dawn's early light
Did hope survive the night?
The long, long night
Do we still sit high on the hill?
Shimmer bright for all to see
United our state of hypocrisy
Was it you, or was it me?
Hope it was you and wasn't me
Has righteousness run out of time?
Out of fashion, out of mind
Close the books, hold tight to what is mine
The sun is low in the sky
Will it drop or will it rise?
Have we run out of time?
Do I rest or do I rise?
Go on and save yourself, I’ll be alright
Hope to amuse yourself watching us die
I’d think you’d know by now
We come alive at twilight
Soaring so high
Just try to slow me down
Won’t take me alive
Go on and save yourself
You know I’ll make out alright
You know I'll always love you
Always be a star above you
I’d think you’d know by now
We come alive at twilight
