Final Destination

My final destination is unknown as I run alone

Past the alleys, shadows, and trashcans scattered all along the road

I was finally tasting freedom, but afraid of the night

I wish you'd hold me in your arms baby

I never want to leave your side

So I move on southbound

Through a bad part of town

I think someone might be following me but I'm too scared to turn around

So I push on through the darkness, vulnerable to the night

And I wish you were here right now

I wish I was by your side

I am free, I am so free

I strengthen my vibration and purify my energy

I just want to get out and experience the world

I am free

As I move along swiftly, through the dark and erie streets

I hear whispers, movements, and echoes as I move swiftly on my feet

The streetlights make me feel safe as I travel on alone

I must be brave and keep moving on while I'm so far away from home

And I'm so lonely, and yet oh so free

I'm not quite sure where my destination is going to be

So I push on through the darkness, vulnerable to the night

I wish you were here right now

I wish you were by my side

I am free, I am so free

I strengthen my vibration and purify my energy

I just want to get out and experience the world

I am free

Final destination is unknown as I run alone

Past the alleys, shadows, and trashcans scattered all along the road

I was finally tasting freedom, but afraid of the night

I wish you'd hold me in your arms baby

Cause I never wanted to leave your side

Hard Way

I found out that life is not what you want it to be

Open your eyes and you'll find a dream hidden in reality

I know some lies are more truthful than the truth can be

My problem is trying to keep my soul alive

Soul alive

I found out the hard way

Hard way, yeah oh no, no no, all right

I'm singing give it to me, give it to me lightly

That loving feeling blessing

That's been given unto our team

Before we are doing this now

And I'm the rebel leader of this pack

We're coming to overthrow your castle

Rolling with force to restore the power back into the people

Minds are strengthening, they're not so ignorant

More involved at helping one another to improve each other

And what it is you need is to learn equality

I found out the hard way

The hard way

I said, but, but really who's best

We're comin' on through even if we have to make you move

It's gonna take more than your arrows to defeat me

Not that easy

At least I possess respect

And respect I'm bringing and giving and getting it back

With your knowledge of fear

You're easily led to war

Trapped in the king's grasp

Now you're blinded

The violent crimes that you goin witness

They'll use against you in ignorance

You're living your life half depressed

Never living life by what you want

But what the king needs

I found out the hard way

Hard way, yeah oh no, no no, all right

 

Into the fire

Why would I toss a seed into a fire

And burn my own kind

Why would I plant a seed if I knew it would not grow

Before my eyes

Is what I did not know

Now I watch as

The flames they do get taller, taller

The smoke it burns my eyes

I have only, only one desire

To put out the fire

Why would I set my angels free to the sky

To watch them burn in my eyes

Why would anyone do such things to hurt me

Killing a life is committing a crime

Now I watch as

The flames they do get taller, taller

The smoke it burns my eyes

I have only, only one desire

To put out the fire

Why would I toss a seed into a fire

And burn my own kind

Why would I plant a seed if I did not want a tree

Before my eyes

Is what I could not see

Now I watch as

The flames they do get taller, taller

The smoke it burns my eyes

I have only, only one desire

To put out the fire

Ooh yeah

Evilness in the wicked ways of the man

Be my flesh, flesh, and my flesh

 

Land of the Lost

Bad brains, Bob Marley

Revolutionary music come along

Start a revolution

Living in times when things is slow

People don't know where to go

Jah will always be there

People suffering everywhere

Hold on and don't despair

I know your time will come

Jah will always be there

Land of the lost

Land of the

 

I come to town on a tornado

Just to let you know

I fly with the fireflies and set fire to your skies

Better look into my eyes and see the revolution start from behind

Rising with the sun, spirits rising with the sun

Land of the lost

Imagine growing up in an American subculture

Looking up at the things you could have

But you can't cause you're labeled social trash

How about that, I ask you that

Then you just turn your head like it doesn't concern you

I must say

You turn your head like it doesn't concern you

We won't take away from your pain, we won't take away no

We won't take away from your pain, we won't take away

 

 

Friends

Wooooo!

Cause I know, I know that's what friends are that's what friends are for

and I know

I feel so real

I feel alive

Wont you come help me kick reality for a while

And in this madness

I will bring it back to you

Hopefully we...

Will return safetly

I know, I know that's what friends are that's what friends are for

I know, I know that's what friends are that's what friends are for

We don't want to see you fall, want to help you succeed

We want to help you grow up into a mighty tree from a seed

Pushing hard as you can getting this momentum flowing

Better floating through the wind

Pollinating through a stereo

Cause I know, I know that's what friends are that's what friends are for

I know I know I know that's what friends are that's what friends are for

I feel so real

I feel alive

Wont you come help me kick reality for a while

And in this madness

I will bring it back to where it's supposed to be

Hopefully we...

Will return safetly

I know, I know that's what friends are that's what friends are for

I know, I know that's what friends are that's what friends are for

 

 

 

 

Walls Are Falling Down

Set up to become fed up to be frustrated, and to be tested

Telling you that happiness is to be spending your money restless

Controlling all the imagery in your head by watching advertisements on your television set

So you fall into that scheme cause that's all you've ever known or seen

Believe there's more to life than this past material objects

Pre-occupied in your existence

For an instant you feel free, but quickly shadowed by the harshness of reality

Oh I know...

The walls are falling down

The walls are falling down down down

The walls are falling down down down

Your walls are falling down down down oh oh

Back to the streets I could never be where people of all kind

are drowned by society

Now why do we foolishly fuel the corporate beast, by spending

our money on products we're never gonna need, now

What's it gonna be are coming with me

I'm headed full force for these corporate thief's who think we're

living in peace, but in the streets dying increases

Corporations making money while mouths remain hungry, but just to let you know though

The walls are falling down

The walls are falling down down down

The walls are falling down down down

Your walls are falling down down down oh oh

Back to the situation at hand

I'm not your mighty answer I'm just an average man

Who understands we as humans are in need of a new plan

I can't stand to see our nation brainwashed by tell lies vision

Owned by corporations controlling your nightly news

You're deceived from the truth, so feel free to board this

train

Today we're leaving the station, we're headed for Babylon's walls

When we get there were making a stand

We'll rip it apart with our bare hands

From a thousand miles away you'll be able to hear the sound of

The walls are falling down, the walls are falling down down down

The walls are falling down down down , your walls are falling down down down oh oh.

The walls are falling down

The walls are falling down down down

The walls are falling down down down

Your walls are falling down down down oh oh

 

Take A Moment

Let's take a moment to relax

Let's take a moment to relax

Let's take a moment to relax

Let's take a moment to relax and think…

About the aspects of life

Which that we have covered

And the ones that we're so weak

Slowly, I won't

I won't let it happen

Babylon, I'll bring you down

Inch by inch, brick by brick I said it

Well I'm like a plane

In the sky

I'm gonna move east and west, north and sound bound

Taking off in every direction

In the life we live we have

We have lived

Now tell me have you lived your life through

Let's take a moment to relax

Let's take a moment to relax

Let's take a moment to relax

Let's take a moment to relax and think…

About the aspects of life

Which that we have covered

And the ones that we're so weak, so weak

I'm like a butterfly

I'll cross this musical melody, that you supply

I will provide imagery in your mind

Yes I did, Yes it's love

Yes it's love, I found it

Let's take a moment to relax

Let's take a moment to relax

Let's take a moment to relax

Let's take a moment to relax and think…

It's amazing to think

Think about it, think things over now

Look for love in all directions

All I see is violence

What I see andwhat I've found

Is love

Check It

Nod your head

Stop. Check it

Look a little bit closer

Take a second look and stop doing what they told ya

Cause shit is real now

You can feel it, you can feel it in your soul

Mind body protest, anything less will swallow you whole

A rapid fire vocabulary intellectual individual

Obtain these attributes to spread the message to the people

Look for the greater good, for the grand scheme of things

Question everything to find out what the truth can bring

All I know, I know,

Oh no, no, no, no, no

What I see now

is what is real now

The way you live now

Is breaking down now

I found my love within now

Check it and you'll find it

Stop, Check it

I'm looking in the dragon's eyes

Surprised to find the lion within myself

The strength it takes to make a move

I am a survivalist involved when I don't want to be at all

Surrounded by the fact that they all want to see us fall

My mission

A rocket lost off in another dimension see

Corruption is all I see in an image that came to me

That Babylon will slowly fall to ruins

Listen what you're doing, transpire what I'm using

All I know, I know

Oh no, no, no, no, no

What I see now

is what is real now

The way you live now

Is breaking down now

I'll find mad love within now

Check it and you'll find

We're living, we're loving, we're singing, we're spreading good vibes

Spreading my wings and I'm truly learning how to fly

Stop Check it, look with a greater perspective

Take a second look to clear yourself from misconceptions

It is real now, you can feel it, you can feel it in the streets

People who lack the connection, we're on a quest to teach them peace

My name is Daniel and I survived the lion's den

Exchanged my sword for pen

Tremendously shown the light again

I'm missing often lost off and gone

Never ever to find me

Listen to how I know,

Whoa, know,

I know, I know,

Oh no, no, no, no

Cause what I see now

is what is real now

The way you live now

Is breaking down now

I found my love within now

Check it and you'll find it

We're living, we're loving, we're singing, we're spreading good vibes

Spreading my wings and I'm truly learning how to fly

I'll find mad love within

Now check it and you'll find it

 

Strange

Something got me acting strange today

As I sit with my acoustic and play

I ask myself how do I live my life, I know

I could use some insight but I don't know where to begin

I know it…

Always ends up different

If I change the path I'm on

I know one thing that must change

Is the way that our society lays

 

Something's got me acting strange I know

As I try to grow from the Roots Down Below

And I know, it bellows out from the bottom of my stomach

I plumit to know that I could never fufill

All the days, I have fallen with broken wings

You must take me, far away

So no one hears me

No one hears me cry

In the Cold

Hey I see it fading

Things like this aren't meant to last

We have changed, time to move on now

Now maybe I'll see you in another life

Lost among one million souls

Sweeping streets with broken dreams

At one time you were my best friend

But you have become a lost soul

In the cold

Outside looking in

 

My Domain

Hey, I feel it

Crawling out my skin and now I feel this

I've felt this way forever

You should not push your way into situations

that you are not wanting in

Because it's not right, not polite for you to do, yea

But nevertheless, we're never depressed

We're coming up for the style

because I'm doing it for myself and us

And doing it all of the while I smile

Yea I know that I'm not doing it for them

And by not doing it for them, I mean the people how intervene

Now, what did you see

When you tried to enter the scene

Was it everything you hoped for and everything that you'ved dreamed

Or did you get caught, just before you got free

Believe your everything you need be without a mean

Did I tell you, you could enter my domain

My Domain

Did I tell you, you could enter my domain

My Domain

When you try to intervene

Your seriously breaking the respect and love the revolution

is made of

Oh before it dies, let's make it rise

Higher then rain clouds and our skies

Yes our skies

Nevertheless we're coming so fresh

I'm coming up off the top of my mind

Everyone's saying we're filling it fully equipped for the vibe

Everybody on the planets gonna know that

We're keeping all spirits flowing

As our roots are forever growing

You could for chopping us down, but you won't

We're making you irie now

Coming around our way

You won't be coming around our way today

And down that alley way is where your going to be

Whether or not you need it for safety

Did I tell you, you could enter my domain

My Domain

Did I tell you, you could enter my domain

My Domain

Crazy

You say I'm crazy

But I don't think you know what you're talking about

All this time

Before you go

Pointing your finger at me, get your story straight

Your false opinions

Can only put yourself in trouble again

All this time

Before you go, I say before you go

Here's a piece of my mind

Take a, take a, take a, take a piece of my mind

Take a, take a, take a, take a piece of my mind

Take a, take a, take a, take a piece of my little mind

Cause I'm crazy

I'm crazy just like you

I'm crazy just like you

Crazy just like. . .

All this time

I've heard it once

I don't need to hear it again

I'm crazy just like you

Leave me alone,

Leave me alone,

Leave me alone

I'm crazy just like you

Take a, take a, take a, take a piece of my mind

Take a, take a, take a, take a piece of my mind

Take a, take a, take a, take a piece of my little mind

Cause I'm crazy

I'm crazy just like you

I'm crazy just like you

Crazy just like. . .

I'm crazy

I'm crazy just like you

I'm crazy just like you

Crazy just like. . .

All this time

All this time, all this time,

All this time

 

 

All the Possibilities

I'm feeling on another vibe

I'm singing, singing for all the possibilities

Yes indeed

And I'm disregarding

The fact of all your disrespectfulness, your disrespectfulness

I'm living, I'm living for all the possibilities

And I'm feeling, I'm feeling on another vibe

I'm a broken barrel of love spilling in all directions

Once again

I'm blocking your negative energy

Intercepting it and reflecting it

Back into your eyes

So you can see all the possibilities

And I'm living

Living for all the possibilities

When it's lovin' I'm bringing and giving

The possibilities are infinite

Gifted

And when I'll be movin' along now

Yes I'm gonnna leave it with you

Painting with warmer colors

A bigger picture we're delivering

Living for unlimited thought

Transcending normal consciousness

My contribution to the revolution

Is a conscious evolution

That we're going to be using to bring on new solutions

I'm bring and giving the possibilities are infinite

Gifted

And when I'll be movin' along now

I'm going to leave it with you

Feeling on another vibe.
