Wise Men Say 04:06
WISE MEN SAY -Mason Lucas When the rage is seething I'm breathing And remembering my love for logic and reason And intuitions a wish to believe that I am Only one of infinite fish in the sea And if you choose to listen to me I might tell you what my beautiful sisters see And all my brothers are doubles of me We come and go as we please in the mystery Some times we do it so wistfully Sometimes we do it so blissfully Gently we avoid trickery True power comes from sensitivity Wise men say I hold my dreams for survival In the challenge of the myriad invisible rivals Seeking the truth amid slander and libel It's symbolic like all of our lives revivals Pile it on clear it off Tabula rasas' cacophony is never lost Only our names are embossed LIke the cloaks we don to keep out the frost My intentions were clear Before I set foot here in the the atmosphere Through the portal no mortal is mere Manipulating airwaves to cast out fear From the silence between the notes I hope that the ghost will remember to quote The wisdom kids come to elope and emote Cause we're all in the same old boat Wise men say Live it up and joke when you're close enough To call me on a phone made of rope and coconuts It's all I need to see the clouds open up And feel the sun shining like a token of Your affection and your gratitude Helping me out to refine my attitude At this latitude there's never a platitude Silence is golden chasing right after you Wise men say

Fios 03:35
FIOS -Mason Lucas After all the slight of hand has blinded man to his heart What can he hope to be within this life if it's so short Oh Angelie forgive me for I knew what I was doing was wrong Humanity eluded me for a moment and then the moment was gone How could I close my eyes and think that it would just go away But the love that we share is forever in our song And it guides us home to grace I'm sending a letter on the wind so it gets there on time Following currents ensuring endurance so fine Telling the stories of all of the lovers of life Sharing the narrative sharing what's yours and what's mine And I make amends for the tens of my acts that were wrong Crawling to walking to flying and writing my song That's how it goes when you're growing and rolling along Destiny's testing me making the road that I'm on And the love that we share is forever in our song Wishing for things and events to commence invents will So we overstand and make plans in a land that stands still Selecting perspective directives connecting the thrills And all the realities get to reflect what we build And the love that we share is forever in our song And it guides us home to grace

ONE LIMITLESS DAY -Mason Lucas We gotta fact the fear that's in the dark of misunderstandings We gotta trust our feelings when we're reeling and stumbling from the landing I love my life I won't lie I chose the point where I'm standing I offer this for your bliss if that's what you're demanding One limitless day in the land of love As I look I see and open book of tragedy and humor A raise my wrist as an optimist amidst the rumors You cant refute the fruit of conscious consumers I polish it off with no loss when we author our future One limitless day in the land of love I got the feeling that I'm dealing with the appealing mode With the parameters that make the calendar explode Into obsolescence and blessing the adolescent souls Here we go I got a message of personal revelation told To me in a vision and thus my mission will unfold Everybody's got their karma paving out their own road Sparkling with the love they sow Earth citizens fit into the rhythm so You can harmonize with your tribe when they let go Just because I said so you can find your own flow Change it from slackness to statuesque new clothes To every nation every city every rap show I got my inspiration from Shipibos and Arapahoes Rolling out on skateboards sailboats and back-hoes Lo and behold One limitless day in the land of love So let's live it like it matters because that's enough Whether or not we are who we think we're supposed to be I pull you close to me Because the world is full of potential friends who act like enemies When you look deep inside you'll find you're guided right to the true pride Celestial mountains meet the earth first where our hearts reside

Legends 04:23
LEGENDS -Mason Lucas Blissful sounds of this creation Hit the mode of this vibration Crystal nodes of education Constitute this incantation So enormous and so grand Like all the songs of distant lands That I love but don't understand As I drift like grains of sand Shining light of your soul Warms my heart when winds are cold Where fires blaze we care for coals Legends long for their tales to be told So enormous and so grand Like all the songs of distant lands That I love but don't understand As I drift like grains of sand Long ago the stories were written On the canyon walls So enormous and so grand Like all the songs of distant lands That I love but don't understand As I drift like grains of sand

SEASONS OF THE SKY -Mason Lucas Sunshine in your eyes Invites me to come inside To touch the other side And feel the wealth of the seasons of the sky And get to know myself better through you and I Shakti's got her Shiva I've got bhakti in my kiva For the 'locks and all believers Who respect the master weaver Energetic elements flow through the filaments Infinity makes me smile So I sing to this land With all the gratitude that I can command Acts of love fill my plan When I reach out to take hold of your hand Though we might play it cool We'll walk the wheel like fools To the tune of endless renewal Shining like a timeless jewel Mists are rolling in continually from oceans Without names So I sing to this land With all the gratitude that I can command Acts of love fill my plan When I reach out to take hold of your hand

Flows 03:41
FLOWS -Mason Lucas There's a river that flows right through your heart into mine let's start With a strong foundation of love and respect we can select Attitudes and trajectories passion and bliss more than a kiss It's a connection to benevolent lips and expression of soul more than Someone to hold on a journey of life we let go of control Walk by my side if you're inclined to come along for the ride With open hearts and open minds we can define the definition of good times I can honor you you can honor me in a partnership where we're free to believe Taking the time to share our lives together naturally There's a golden road where the colors explode into dazzling brilliance it's a beautiful show But I'd like you to know all about my intentions before we go Cause we can go fast or we can go slow but what really matters as the energy grows Is sharing our truth like we share our song while we're harmonizing all night long And into the next day and through next week and into the winter and the summer so sweet Though time's an illusion that we can't keep like waking up when you fall asleep Return to the source of love and light our mutual divinity guides us tight On a higher realm where that's beyond our sight Waking up in your love just feels so right And when I look around and I compare All that I see to what we share It's all the same indivisible soul Many manifestations a thousand fold Beggars in the street who seem unique Like the girl with the tears streaming down her cheeks Masters and slaves who will never behave Racing for the dollar sign race to the grave Just to come back and do it all again While the mountaintop monks master acts of zen Asceticism's a gem if one can contend while some gotta be Content with the page and the pen Some people want to agree Or debate about the fine points definitely It's a worthy pursuit seeking the truth All roads converge along the route Of elusive consensus the absolute So click your heels or knock your boots Snap your fingers or play your flute Or do whatever you like to do that elevates you I'm only saying what I feel After careful reflection the thoughts congeal On the real I'm taking the time to realize what life reveals But don't believe me you've got to see This for yourself just to justify these words I speak over little melodies And the harmonious homilies

Canoa 04:52
CANOA -Mason Lucas Underneath this tree My canoe floats free Full of love tell my sister Tell my sister it's full of love Debajo de este arbol Mi canoa esta Lleno con amor dile mi cuñada Dile mi cuñada es lleno con amor Hai la lai la la la la lai lai यसको रुख को तल मेरो डुग च प्रेम प्यक ए च वहीनी कबर गार बहीनी कबर गार प्रेम प्यक ए च Wa xomi namara Nuku nonte rakaku ichabu bu buchoya Mi tsabwu yuiwu Icha bu bwihonu The jungle put the man to the test A quest to bless and effervesce the very best that he can manifest Or acquiesce to the stress of the rest of the modern mess A lot of this started like a game of chess Explaining this is like an exercise living lives Side by side with the tribes who will never die Though the brevity of time seems clever like rhymes and punch-lines That I integrate and memorize Life's lessons will flow like tides And the rest we will bury in the estuaries semper fi Why ask why when the question is who And what are we doing with our lives Very few question the validity of what they do While the universe's finger is pointing at you So do you want to ride through the sky Looking at the world through the third eye Wondering who am I Harmonize rhymes when we synchronize linking eyes Thinking I was feeling the drum beat to sympathize

LIVE ON THE OUTSIDE -Mason Lucas Fire eyes will you settle my soul On this wildest of journeys that I've ever known I've been high out of my mind finding my truth and my home Fire serenades us fire pervades us licking my face to the bone Ocean's breadth will you quench my thirst when my eyes are red Wash my head tricking rippling or crash instead it's your prerogative Pounding the pebbles to sand Concealing the mysteries of sunken lands Mountain wind I'm so glad I've found you again Or did you find me soaring with the roaring cliffs of your longevity Breezes make it easier to breathe Chasing my inner child through piles of leaves Lands of earth my gratitude is bountiful just like your worth I hope that I can repay my debt to you with little words Like the mother's breast you provide So beautiful to live on the outside

Undertow 04:21
UNDERTOW -Mason Lucas Look up at the moon Don't take your gaze away too soon Stare up at the stars But only if you want to look that far Share your songs with your friends Light a fire and dance with them again Walk the the path that you prefer Pay back the karmic debts that you've incurred Forever is farther than we cast our stones or act alone Together we are more powerful than the undertow Dance on through the night But only if it really feels alright Drums echo through the town They build it up or they can burn it down Dreams formulate our lives And set the tone for what we will decide They are the root that feeds the world Long before our flags become unfurled Forever is farther than we cast our stones or act alone Together we are more powerful than the undertow Run down the jungle road With every aspiration you control Breathe life in as you go When you feel like you're ready to explode Tranquility awaits 'Tis the sure and not the swift that win this race Honor the promise to return But only when you feel that it's your turn Forever is farther than we cast our stones or act alone Together we are more powerful than the undertow

Otro 04:38
OTRO -Mason Lucas Drops of sunlight fall and collect in pools around our heads as we will Walk the ancient forests of our dreams the landscape shifting around me Tell me all your secrets I am worthy of the mysteries Let's dance this life as mirrors of each other speaking silently The laws we lay between us are the scaffolding that we repeal To follow architecture of perfection's sectors we reveal Illuminate our manuscripts as we stand and lick the mass appeal You have to believe in what you feel to extrapolate what's truly real I set my foot on the rock of tradition Only to find it change position My recollection and recognition Will serve to strengthen my volition In times that are so strangely familiar That which makes you stronger just might thrill you Way out so far that we threw the map away Open to all of the possible paths that lay Forewarned of all of the tangible traps that lay Ok now planning to drift like castaways I set my foot on the rock of tradition Only to find it change position My recollection and recognition Will serve to strengthen my volition In times that are so strangely familiar That which makes you stronger just might thrill you One man walks a dark road to come into the light And ignite the spark of his insight Upon said journey the twists in the path might Sunder the resolve of an unexpected neophyte The teachings of the masters surpass most hearing and sight And provide the schematic that shines bright It's a beacon of truth that will hit the heights With dedication and resolve it will guide you right One woman contemplating herself Leaves the past to pass to improve her health With no proof but trust and her spiritual wealth And cerebral stimulation in the mysteries delve Much deeper than people think that anything dwells A transcendent realm where the sick get well Cultivating energies and refine the spell And fill the fontanelle I set my foot on the rock of tradition Only to find it change position My recollection and recognition Will serve to strengthen my volition In times that are so strangely familiar That which makes you stronger just might thrill you

Lullaby 02:38
LULLABY -Mason Lucas Dozens of birds turn around Petals of flowers settle down Springtime will sing to it's sound And let us know This is life The rippling waters fall Reflecting the clouds' shroud stall Echoes of ancestors' call And let us know This is life Drink in the light that shines Relaxing the words of my mind Go back to the source of all time And let us know This is life All of the stars shine on Baby's asleep with his mom Drifting in peace when this Moment comes This is life
