Love Crosses Oceans Lyrics and music by Mason Lucas Love crosses oceans To sing us awake and turn us around To fill us with that blissful motion That takes away the seasickness with sound The fish will dance below us Paddles dip the water to ripple us along Spiraling wings above us open up their arms And guide us through dark waters with their songs Men and women ask about the charts we follow Who is the captain of the boat you're on? We're flying to tomorrow And the destination is always where we are Signaling up to the sky One light shines for all to see There's a beacon everywhere you've got a friend No port of call where you've got to be जे माः Pacha Mama We make our music right here and send it out to the stars Every historical landmark Every vision of the future yet to materialize Has got it's place in the annals of evolution Signposts of space and time We can build a world of love inside our hearts And let it vibrate out by sitting still Some might feel it penetrating right away And some might take years but they will Some might suggest a journey of ten thousand steps And some might seek their gems deep underground Meditating on the highest heights and inner lights And crumbling dusty pages appear profound Sometimes we bend over backwards To see what lies in front of us along the way Just set your sails for truth little darling As day turns to night and again today जे माः Pacha Mama We make our music right here and send it out to the stars

Onex 03:54
Onex Lyrics and music by Mason Lucas Once way out across the ocean Events recorded for all time Unfold to fill the avid with devotion Unifying all the the families and all the tribes From the distant frozen mountain tops' snows To the depths of every oceans silent repose May every wind bring love when they blow And carry us home From the ancient tombs of all our desert fathers To the lagoons that birth the feminine divine All the possibilities that we can even conjure Live on a level higher than the mind And everything that we recognize Is a reflection of what we have inside So realize and internalize That love is truth and fear is a lie Oh may peace prevail upon your pretty planet Oh may love unite the disparate designs Oh may we respect and care for all of our brethren Oh may we discover what we long to find And everything that we recognize Is a reflection of what we have inside So realize and internalize That love is truth and fear is a lie

Talari 04:27
Talari Lyrics and music by Mason Lucas The sun paints a picture and water reflects the idea Shaking and shimmering suggesting why we might be here Stones change their shapes and create and then they disappear Seedlings expand and reach out so to grow near All of these temporary moments are scenes in a play As we search for meaning and we search for something to say What will you do with your life cause it starts today The past and the future are phantoms who live to betray Oh the river's song says it all It's mighty majesty and metaphor Always at home and yet always changing it's form Endlessly traveling there's always more So I decide to transform all that I see Into beautiful lessons that lead right to high mastery Love is the power and the only continuity Everything else is illusion so that we might see Learn to be simple and learn to feel love all around Make each complexity elegant graceful and proud Respect a tradition so that it's sound Echoes from the present to honor us all with a crown Learn to be joyful and learn to feel love in your heart Your ancestors did it your children will help you to start Life is subjective so live it like a work or art And everyone's beautiful harmony will play it's part

Kimonos and Parasols Lyrics and music by Mason Lucas おさななじみ よろしく おねがいします Waking up under the gun On and island in the sun The empire has come undone And it's requiem's unsung Catching fish on a soldiers' wage Long since unpaid In chains of paper cranes Across cemeteries こんどこの はやく Rain so lightly falls On kimonos and parasols The splendor of it all Is a distant echoed call Banners turn to rags Bunting and bandstands And in some distant land Historians shake hands Maybe I'll get some news today That it's over very much over And I can go home But I'm home as I'll ever be Far away they've forgotten me Like a castaway at sea Fishing for two or three Or our glorious military Unshaven and elderly So I'll serve my family Helmets of soup and tea Maybe I'll get some news today That it's over very much over And I can go home おっかれさま です

The Game of Go Lyrics and music by Mason Lucas Call your friends with your telepathy to talk about The movements in my humor and the energy that's flowing out Cause we can choose to eschew the state of oblivion and Rise above the paradigm of cowboys and indians Let's be aware of the powers of intention while we're Respecting the trajectories of powerful ascension Riding out all the momentary difficulties The ripples bump me lifting me up to feel the bliss more fully Go transform your home and all you've know into a golden throne Where your higher consciousness may reside Right about the time I got the message There were halos flying on wings through the desert so I finished school ahead of the schedule Ever the credible rebel irrelevant that it was legible And my graphiti is a testament to all the needy Souls with control of their destinies so you best believe me The time has come for the clarity and we've Got and opportunity for homilies and peace treaties Go transform your home and all you've know into a golden throne Where your higher consciousness may reside While I'm here I'd like to sing my song Body chemistry gave me a better memory The high fructose and caffeine were my enemies I threw the fire water bottle in recycling and Never looked back to get struck by white lightning And we transform a planet earth emergency into More appreciation of the power of tranquility And good vibrations' variations continuity That fill me with abilities to stick to my soliloquoy Go transform your home and all you've know into a golden throne Where your higher consciousness may reside While I'm here I'd like to sing my song

Garden 03:12
Garden Lyrics and music by Mason Lucas There's a garden in the sky You can see when you close your eyes Twisting shrubs and plants and vines flowers bloom To be consumed by the wise Layed back by the force of the tide take the opportunity to look deep inside There's a garden in the grove Full of secrets a treasure's trove Takes off your armor and gives you new clothes Heals the body and fills one with hope Standing tall with the force we emote Hold onto the circle of friends just to cope There's a garden in your heart Planting seeds there is an ancient art Every living thing will play it's part And if they don't there's a time to start Pulled back just to fly like a dart Filled with all the love it is intended to impart Search the whole world over And in the end you might find a clue The last living real destination Is deep within you Some might say you're wasting your time And some might think you're wrong That you're better off with trivial distractions But what's real is eternal love and song There's a garden in the earth Open to all irrespective of birth The first shall be last and the last shall be first Baptized by the fire of love immersed Something new to the well rehearsed Everybody is a debtor being reimbursed

Jungle Dub 03:07
Jungle Dub Lyrics and Music by Mason Lucas Jungle jungle We're all related After I contemplated and concentrated It's just easier to run around naked Then you know that you're Not going to fake it When the rain falls up from the ground And the insects are making The strangest sounds Night birds are singing In a round Sending their voices up to hold the balance down Jungle jungle Everyone's a native Even if you've lost your roots they're reinstated Mysteries are behind the myths The world's debated Even if you're sure that the gods just came down and made it Looking back as far as I can see there's a plethora of ephemera in the legends of my family The seemingly random migrations of my patient ancestry They got aquainted and they celebrated their amnesty and left behind the trauma and the sadness and the tragedy Propagating progeny who'll live abundantly Many crossed the ocean Some lost their way Many hid in churches And got away But not for lack of devotion Some had to stay Floating on the currents of the changes Tomorrow turns into today Jungle jungle We're all related Though some are distant They're appreciated As we make peace with each other And those we've hated We make peace within ourselves And all that's yet to be created

Manual of the Planes Lyrics and Music by Mason Lucas In fields of golden columbines - the flames of my memories are definitely sensory I chose to leave my past behind - better step to the task cause it moves so fast Though sometimes the memories remind - but don't linger too long on what you think went wrong Me, I'm like a hawk that's free to fly - freedom is truth and I need no proof So I'll see you on the other side - raise up your hands and sing The desert sun that burns the sky - is my point of view while I'm enjoying you Will warm my wings as I climb - I nod to the mist that envelops this And though at times I navigate blind - don't trust your eyes because your eyes can lie Like the shaman told me I'd be fine - open up your mind and find your part in the grand design So I'll see you on the other side - raise up your hands and sing My hero carved his name in stone - the marks we leave from our trajectories I climbed a mountain to find it alone - the more you seek the higher the peak He showed me all that he had known - you have to teach yourself though you might need help And now it's most of what I own - may precious things bless your wings So for the moment this planet is my home - raise up your hands and sing And all along the way we demonstrate That love and compassion and kindness will always win the day And all along the way we demonstrate That a smile to your brother man is the best way to validate And all along the way we demonstrate That there's more to life then working for the man suffering in heartbreak And all along the way we demonstrate That were all just trying not to fall between the cracks in the earthquakes Beyond the thoughts I entertain - a limited position based on cognition Lies a world that I cannot explain - well beyond words though it seems absurd Like all the wisdom that it contains - I try to memorize and internalize So meanwhile right here we remain - consistency in the mystery So I'll see you on the astral plane

Bamboo 03:56
Bamboo Lyrics and music by Mason Lucas You've got a heart with a view Suddenly I knew That the days of lonely sailors are dependent on their attitudes And as the violence of my mind slips away I am renewed You've got a heart with a view Though distant storms may brew they are few I've invested all my energies ahead of me to not be so confused And as the clouds and mist descend on this forest of bamboo The moonlight has some leaves to filter through And droplets of water dance in different hues This side of the lake is the best to take in the truth And as it's getting late we review what we might do So I'm looking out at nature as if I've never known it It's so grand and enchanting for anyone to own it and I realize that I am a chief component Breathing in from budding to seed for a moment Of time who am I to think that I'm alone? Hidden treasures and gems beyond measure Pure pleasure to exist betwixt the contenders Like feathers who are blown on the wings of weather Patterns through the strata of the dreams we render Unsung for now but later on There's nobody who's stopping the options and the Rocking in the branches in the trees concoction Is a symphony of insects clicking and popping And there's got to be a bird out there dropping some blossoms To the bottom of the valley floor for me to find To take control of my temper my center Remember to send her a letter to help her Feel better in the present cause she's gone till september And the president resigns when he finds I met her On the balcony looking out at the world beyond You've got a heart with a view

Moonlight Electric Lyrics and Music by Mason Lucas Moonlight scatters as it hits the ground I long to go home and lay down But still I wonder what your love looks like You left hours ago Back to California where your favorite flowers grow These words are sighing their last breath They've still got power though I'm walking zigzag to understand my shadow Time is rolling on the sky will change from blue to red Who said you get movements of the worlds unfurled and curled up In your hair you dare to share all the love you have with earth's children Living in the sunshine some find willingness to change a given right That incites the inclination to insight Still I wonder what your love looks like So I left on a journey of my own Red lines traced on ancient maps That's the path I've flown All the beautiful faces So many mysterious places All the tiny traces Of our memories Moments in stasis Time is rolling on the sky will change from black to white Revealing satellites and we continue looking through the window Histories and futures we maneuver lifting up the louvers and the blinds Sometimes you've got to peel away the veil to see what both sides entail We travel to unravel and see what lies beyond We're dancing for understanding and singing our songs for eons
