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…

Thanks so much for posting your lyrics. We often listen to music and at the time we hear it, we love it and move on. Posting the lyrics forces us to stop and really think about the meaning and emotion. We should always stop and feel it. Always drink it in. Thanks for making me enjoy it all over again!
