People of the Earth - Lyrics and Music by Mason Lucas People of the earth you are strong People of the air carry us on People of the water noble born People of the fire ignite your song And all our yesterdays are dead and gone They're sailing on and Tomorrow's solace is illusory A fleeting promise but Old armor falls away and horses break apart the harness Heroes rise above reality because they're honest People of the earth you are strong People of the air carry us on People of the water noble born People of the fire ignite your song Like smoke rings falling through the epilogue Move along to the next chapter of the travelogue Now we move like the demigods Hercules removing the absurdity from every yard From every tenement because that is my temperament The story's written for me so I have to keep on telling it All of the elements cleverly delve into relevance It burns the tip of my tongue Hotter than a peppermint And all our yesterdays are dead and gone They're sailing on and Tomorrow's solace is illusory A fleeting promise but Old armor falls away and horses break apart the harness Heroes rise above reality because they're honest And on the first day I wrote the first page I had to gather my thoughts together in the worst way Wondering what the people on the planet earth say Basking in the aftermath of capital birthdays Do we credit the intelligence or notice the blemishes And say it bears resemblance to any false premises The wise revise and incise the lies Cast aside the guise that will hypnotize And picture this I keep on kickin' this prediction list It might be supposition but it's totally fiction-less It's like reality and dreams in a synthesis You can ask Icarus what might be the impetus For smoke rings falling through the epilogue They frame every syllable children won't you step along This is our time you know we'll never do it wrong You know I love you 'cause I mention it in every song How long we'll never know Life continues to be incredible I flow like the river 'cause it runs in my veins and I'm tall like the trees that supported my frame I'm on a roll like the thunder that is bringing the rain Through the canyons we stand on rough terrain Once upon a time there was a planet like ours A living vision was the mission looking up at the stars In this position our decisions' disposition was large Indivisible family is what we are Every color every element we are the land The stones in the sand are the bones in my hand And the spirits of the forest write the songs for the band Liberty and love is what we understand Once upon a time there was a planet like ours A living vision was the mission looking up at the stars In this position our decisions' disposition was large Indivisible family is what we are How long we'll never know Life continues to be incredible

Mikazuki (Halfmoon) - Lyrics and Music by Mason Lucas All along the road we travel on the stars will be our guide And we live within the wisdom deep inside And the half-moon sings a lullaby to people by the fireside Mikazuki sings to children who dream tranquility for I and I Tonight the wilds are alive singing up into the sky Echoes from another time so fortunate to find Open up our eyes compassionate and kind Souls are intertwined climbing like a vine And the half-moon sings a lullaby to people by the fireside Mikazuki sings to children who dream tranquility for I and I Sending out a message of love

Mil Kilometros - Lyrics and Music by Mason Lucas La pureza de la floresta Que fiesta la naturaleza Bailando asi sube las montañas Cantando asi por la caravan de Las estrellas muevan adelante Volando como el rayo diamante A mil kilometros de altura El camino que nos cura Dulces sueños mis Limeños Les abendigan mis Cartagenos Tanto amor a mis trigeños Y mis amigos New Yoriqueños A mil kilometros de altura El camino que nos cura

Safron Burning - Lyrics and Music by Mason Lucas Leaves falling from the thoughts in my mind Spray colors we all recognize Like carpets for a forests' disguise Red gold and green cascading down Safron burning through the sky turning brown Limbs that sway will be unbound Out of the sky Everywhere you look it's a magical show Open your eyes Everywhere you look it's a journey of souls Evergreens frame the fading pale silhouette TRading their shadows for another sunset The times might be changing but they're not done yet Out of the sky Everywhere you look it's a magical show Open your eyes Everywhere you look it's a journey of souls

Soul Traveling - Lyrics and Music by Mason Lucas Oh chicago I took the train to New York San Fransisco Flint and Davenport Danced in Colorado it was beautiful but so short Soul traveling will surpass the last resort This strain of poetry is growing like a golden tree In the heart of the cities and in the cabins in the country I'm holding the hands of my friends you know I pull them close to me Acceptance and a lot of love for all whether it's supposed to be A beautiful day for the people holding their rosaries Or Korans giving alms and giving thanks for opportunities I'm fully dedicated to the journey that is true to me And all of the invisible derivatives of chivalry Oh chicago I took the train to New York San Fransisco Flint and Davenport Danced in Colorado it was beautiful but so short Soul traveling will surpass the last resort I'm living beautifully in luminous community Born into the most powerful form of my immunity Set against illusion and innumerable confusing things I'm working through the past and the future I do it dutifully Now I'm just grooving to maneuver through all the rubric see Tracks and trajectories paths and possibilities History is fuel for the fire and so so soon we'll see The emperors' new clothes full frontal public nudity Oh chicago I took the train to New York San Fransisco Flint and Davenport Danced in Colorado it was beautiful but so short Soul traveling will surpass the last resort As far as I've observed The power of our words Exists beyond their resonance And echoes through the world And so i will assert Respect is what's deserved And kindness and compassion My compatriots prefer To never compromise The love that is inside Share it with the multitudes As you live your life We open up our eyes to inner paradise Existence is a gift to reexternalize A blessing on our ears Filled with laughter and with tears The profundity of silence where the timeless will appear I've tried to be sincere That's what got me here Carry it like chariots Burning through the atmosphere

Winter Song (Gratitude) - Lyrics and Music by Mason Lucas All of the miracles all that we see come to pass All the mythologies chronologies glisten like glass All of the legendary castles and heroes' repasts Snow covers the world that I knew All of the parables all of the fables we tell All of our anecdotes antidotes all getting well All of the songs of the sirens' yell Snow covers the world that I knew All of the animals look for a place safe and warm All of the flowers throw petals that they once had worn All of us babies have been crying out since we were born Snow covers the world that I knew

Living with the Love - Lyrics and Music by Mason Lucas Moving underground Tangle through the roots that we have found Dancing through the fire I'm inspired to hold my head up higher Soaring through the sky The magic of the music fills my mind Flowing with the water Learning how to be Mother Earth's sons and daughters Living with the love It's so easy my friend Living with the love There's no greater medicine I will do my best Cause every casual thought is what we'll manifest I'm careful with my words Because we are so sensitive to what we've heard I won't take you personally My life's a blessing even though you're cursing me And I will assume nothing Only a fool thinks that he knows something Living with the love It's so easy my friend Living with the love There's no greater medicine

Blue Sunshine - Lyrics and Music by Mason Lucas Sitting at home under groovy blue sunshine Watching the galaxies spin and unwind Another experience the old and young find Stimulates the sensual senses sometimes So maybe I'll come down so you can see if you like it Sitting on a rock in the cosmos With infinite riches you know that I got those I want to share it with you so i got close To show you my Monet Degas and Picassos And you're asking me "what is all this stuff?" I want to send you a message through the air Vibrations of love and care I want to come down and sing you a song I know you're wondering why I've been waiting so long You're so beautiful I compose a new verse To prove that I meant it I invent new words It's as true as anything that you've heard Coming from the other side of the universe It's a long trip so I hope I didn't make it in vain I want to send you a message through the air vibrations of love and care I want to come down and sing you a song I know you're wondering why I've been waiting so long Time and space debate my patience Lately I've been stuck in stasis Waiting for the places the Earth……

Galactic Children - Lyrics and Music by Mason Lucas Listen to the sound of the world All the millions Galactic children All civilians Planetary pilgrims Listen to the sound of the world Listen to the sound of your heart All the dreams All the possible scenes All the silent screams Inside of me Listen to the sound of the world Take the time To change your mind We can't stay blind Cause we're intertwined All these circumstances Circle dances Allowing us to change Listen to the sound of the world All that lives Will surely die So I ask myself Who am I Grown from the tree of the chromosomes And known for the reasons I roam Belief in seasons leaves me At home in the eye of the cyclone Raised on a pagan poem We blazed in the manger so I'm unafraid of the danger zone And I was saved by the sacred OM Listen to the sound of the world

Red Clouds Fall - Lyrics and Music by Mason Lucas Red clouds fall to the horizon Only to rise again Tomorrow is just a word But it will touch a nerve of our sorrow And I can't stop them from leaving We are swept along goodbye past the grieving But how could I know That it was os easy to lose control And how could I say That nothing would change While he's away Cause we can never go back to today So are you ready for right now Though they tore down your lighthouse Red clouds fall On the body of the man who was leading He's dead now but never gone Existence is the song that we believe in And I will cry tonight And the rest of the world will join in my bereavement But how could I know That it was so easy to lose control And how could I know My mind rebels against the inevitable Cause we can never go back to Gol Gotha So are you ready for right now Though they tore down your lighthouse

The So Called - Lyrics and Music by Mason Lucas She's so lonely She loves him only The times when he's around and wrapped up in her arms Otherwise she's crazy Gonna crash his Mercedes into the median And everyone can wonder why But now she knows that the tears she holds back Accumulate they fill her heart until it drowns And now she knows that the words she holds back Accumulate they pile up and tie her down Cause everyone can fly before they hit the ground And if they think they found it first it's so profound And everyone gets lost inside their own designs And looking back our own behavior blows our minds And all that truth we're searching for is slow to find So divine we're so inclined to close our eyes When those goodbyes are left collecting time and dust They rust So we improvise the melodies and movements and Wonder who will supervise She's all over the world He doesn't really know her He's in love with this girl But only when he's not sober So it's time to get the finest yet He might have said a tiny bit but he forgets the story And says "Baby, don't worry" He gave himself the time to tell He might was well embellish the benefits and blemishes as well Oh lordy it's a hell of a party She's a loner No one owns her He used to be a stoner but now he's rollin over He caught a flight to Colombia he could probably phone her Cause he's trying to be a gentleman But he's blinded by the estrogen And he's reminded that he's done it again Cause walking is a set of controlled falls Life is a series of roll calls And either you are climbing your old walls Or you're buying into that so called world That so called….. Cause everyone can fly before they hit the ground And if they think they found it first it's so profound And everyone gets lost inside their own designs And looking back our own behavior blows our minds And all that truth we're searching for is slow to find So divine we're so inclined to close our eyes When those goodbyes are left collecting time and dust They rust So we improvise the melodies and movements and wonder who will supervise
