Some folks down in Virginia
www.circletowardwholeness.org are planning on using these songs to facilitate some workshops they are doing and asked me to post these lyrics...so here they are.
Stay Small You've got these great expectations they've created for you
Don't let em' haunt you if they never come true
And hope it don't go to your head, if they do
There's an old saying and I hope you'll recall
The bigger they are, the harder they fall
So don't you forget to, stay small
Stay small, don't get caught up in it all, stay small
And may hope hold your head up like a pillow
And may faith be firmly planted under your feet, under your feet
So, there you are standing in the middle of it all
You've got these great big ideas 10 feet tall
It's alright to think big, but stay small
Stay small…. don't get caught up in it all, stay small
And may hope hold your head up like a pillow
And may faith be firmly planted under your feet, under your feet

MAY YOU ALWAYS BE
I hope you always look, on the brighter side
I hope your days go slowly lingering by
And I hope you take, a little less time
On the those things, that took me years to decide
I hope you're always first to apologize
And when you do, look 'em straight in the eyes
Cause you can change the world in your own little way
You can right what's wrong, no matter what they say
And may you always be…where the sun's…gonna shine on you…
Always stand up, for what you believe
The stronger your actions, the louder you speak
But the farther you run child, from your fears
You'll spend the rest of your days, turning back those years
And may you always be….where the sun's…gonna shine on you
Gonna shine on you………my baby blue…….
Gonna shine on you………I'll be next to you….
Gonna shine on you………my baby blue….
Gonna shine on you……..
I hope you see the stars, most every night
And never doubt the magic of the moonlight
And the mysteries, no one can see
I hope it doesn't mean, that you don't believe…
GRAVITY
Well I woke up on the sunny side of the day
A hummingbird came to my window and he looked my way
He said just look at the big blue sky
It's gonna be a beautiful day, you can't deny
And I said, hey hey what's that sound
He said it's gravity trying to hold you down
He said just get out of bed and do it again
Gravity can't hold you down
I said coming from a hummingbird that's nice
You're all of 3 grams you fit in my hand, that's some solid advice
I said I got big problems that I've found
He said your only problem is you're looking down
He said hey hey whats that sound
I said it's gravity trying to hold me down
My back's slumped over from the weight on my shoulder
Gravity's trying to hold me down
You know hummingbird don't really hum
But their heart beats faster than mine, 25 to 1
So his short little lifetime is burning fast
I don't suppose he spends much time, living in the past
I say hey hey what's that sound
He said it's gravity trying to hold me down
But I'm flapping my wings just as fast as I can
Gravity can't hold me down
Welcome to the sunny side of the day
Where we look at things in a most unusual way
When you're feeling up, never look down
And if you see that hummingbird hovering around
Say Hey hey whats that sound…
