Roots 05:46
Eyes to the sky, but our heart is buried deep underground Sounding out vibrations for the wiggling worms The matrix of mycelium will strengthen our words The birds and the bees will pollinate through the breeze Stirred up by a planetary conscious release That drops us to our knees to squeeze the soil that made us Take a seed and plant it for the ones that succeed us With our bodies intertwined Good vibrations are what we find These roots grow down, these roots grow down Put it in the ground, put it in the ground Dirty hand will feed our minds Fertile ground is what we leave behind These roots grow down, these roots grow down Put it in the ground, now put it in the ground Open your mind and let that cool water wash you within Your senses grin as the sun settles in Nutrients assemble as our notes float above us Showering the garden with our musical love Underneath our feet you see there is a beautiful Eden Feeding a community to grow global freedom Seasons come and go, but the time’s always now To catch the ebb and flow and grow our roots through the ground With our bodies intertwined Good vibrations are what we find These roots grow down, these roots grow down Put it in the ground, put it in the ground Dirty hand will feed our minds Fertile ground is what we leave behind These roots grow down, these roots grow down Put it in the ground, now put it in the ground Now put it in the ground With our bodies intertwined Good vibrations are what we find These roots grow down, these roots grow down Put it in the ground, put it in the ground Dirty hand will feed our minds Fertile ground is what we leave behind These roots grow down, these roots grow down Put it in the ground, now put it in the ground With our bodies intertwined Good vibrations are what we find These roots grow down, these roots grow down Put it in the ground, now put it in the ground Dirty hand will feed our minds Fertile ground is what we leave behind These roots grow down, these roots grow down Put it in the ground, now put it in the ground These roots grow down, now put it in the ground These roots grow down, put it in the ground Now put it in the ground

Lift Me Up 03:44
Fate flew in like a hummingbird Sultry feathers beating brown and gold Make bold your movements, in this moment everything’s a blur Quick to turn to see my fate had flown Holding out, no sense of doubt Though the screens I see you shout No masquerade, but still I’m played Your eyes always lift me up Can’t see the future but I see you Your the joker no king can rule After all, I see it’s true I’m your singin’ fool I’m your singin’ fool When she came the moon was waxing Slacking uncertainty relapsing into blissfulness To her tune the sea collapses Over evening noon, through my arms she dances Holding out, no sense of doubt Though the screens I see you shout No masquerade, but still I’m played Your eyes always lift me up Can’t see the future but I see you Your the joker no king can rule After all, I see it’s true I’m your singin’ Holding out, no sense of doubt Though the screens I see you shout No masquerade, but still I’m played Your eyes always lift me up Can’t see the future but I see you Your the joker no king can rule After all, I see it’s true I’m your singin’ fool Out of breath, sensation grows Right on cFate flew in like a hummingbird Sultry feathers beating brown and gold Make bold your movements, in this moment everythings a blur Quick to turn to see my fate had flown Holding out, no sense of doubt Though the screens I see you shout No masquerade, but still I’m played Your eyes always lift me up Can’t see the future but I see you Your the joker no king can rule After all, I see it’s true I’m your singin’ fool I’m your singin’ fool When she came the moon was waxing Slacking uncertainty relapsing into blissfulness To her tune the sea collapses Over evening noon, through my arms she dances Holding out, no sense of doubt Though the screens I see you shout No masquerade, but still I’m played Your eyes always lift me up Can’t see the future but I see you Your the joker no king can rule After all, I see it’s true I’m your singin’ Holding out, no sense of doubt Though the screens I see you shout No masquerade, but still I’m played Your eyes always lift me up Can’t see the future but I see you Your the joker no king can rule After all, I see it’s true I’m your singin’ fool Out of breath, sensation grows Right on que, she says she knows And now I see it’s true I’m your singin’ fool I’m your singin’ fool I’m your singin’ foolue, she says she knows And now I see it’s true I’m your singin’ fool I’m your singin’ fool I’m your singin’ fool

Purple Tears 04:06
It’s raining but there’s a smile on your face Sweet sound waves beating down on those basking in your grace The colors form on the ripples on the river that we wade Floating on your dreams you taught us all to seize the day Bandanas holding back his wavy hair, His beards grown long but you know that he just don’t care Sometimes it’s 6, and other times it’s 4 Feet are always shuffling across this Lucky dance floor It’s raining but there’s a smile on your face Sweet sound waves beating down on those basking in your grace The colors for the ripples on the river that we wade Floating on your dreams you taught us all to seize the day She called my with salt in her eyes To tell me it’ll be alright Notes from the voices I haven’t heard in Years it's all for the man, that man with the purple tears The canvas that he painted was incomplete But the brush strokes he made they are so sweet With so many stories left to write The ones already here they speak true to life It’s raining but there’s a smile on your face Sweet sound waves beating down on those basking in your grace The colors for the ripples on the river that we wade Floating on your dreams you taught us all to seize the day She called my with salt in her eyes To tell me it’ll be alright Notes from the voices I haven’t heard in Years it's all for the man, that man with the purple tears Make a point of getting out Never live your life in doubt No one is better without You in their life So try to take these words to heart Don’t be sad when I depart We all get another start I’ll see you there my friend Make a point of getting out Never live your life in doubt No one is better without You in their life So try to take these words to heart Don’t be sad when I depart We all get another start I’ll see you there my friend

Dub Love 04:51
The sun is shining On the streets we cruise for hours a day Pushin’ through that cool ocean breeze maintains the steeze, till we Can hit the park to carve those sweet concrete waves Our night knows no curfew Dodgin’ cops to hit the spots that we paved Pushin’ by we skate or die and that’s the hard truth heh Flowin’ lines were stopping time our kind are death-proof Front sides at Six Side and Gordo for fat lines You bring the camera and I’ll bring the spotlight Twistin’ our buds up and throwin’ down beats cause That’s how we do on this island of Dub Love Slam down man your ragin’ ain’t got no place here Get up off your ass were tryin’ to keep a flowing state here Mind over matter you take the risk these bones may shatter But it’s all worth it when you stick it catch it higher These kids are on fire Little grommies keepin’ the spirit alive Pushin’ by we skate or die and that’s the hard truth heh Flowin’ lines were stopping time our kind are death-proof Front sides at Six Side and Gordo for fat lines You bring the camera and I’ll bring the spotlight Twistin’ our buds up and throwin’ down beats cause That’s how we do on this island of Dub Love

Mind to Mind 04:52
Mind to mind I'm floating down this narrow line So I can get through to you To somewhere clear to see Making the time takes time But maybe I'm just foolin’ myself Could there be something more inside Where can I find some piece of mind, They gave it to you, but baby where is mine Why can’t I find some piece of mind After all this time, we’re breaking away too soon Heart to heart Reminiscing back to when it started To seem like I was getting through to you Like the words we said would set us free Maybe this time will be fine The signs will lead me right to the truth And then I’ll turn to chapter two Where can I find some piece of mind They gave it to you, but baby where is mine Why can’t I find some piece of mind Maybe it’s the time, I finally see it through
