Braver & Stronger 03:42
lyrics
buy track
You are braver and stronger than me You throw back the door see wolf prints in the snow, say The free have been here and gone Then you step aside smiling and watch me stride into the storm I’m walking ‘til I’m home Stead, though tired I am not alone We choose to be alone when it seems we’re most weak When the tame run to save they’ll find wolves sleeping warming our Feet, speak to ground, lead to heart Now you hold me so close ‘cos you know what I’ve seen in the dark I’m walking ‘til I’m home Stead, though tired I am not alone Brew tea on the back porch, I don’t need more than this Our garden in spring and the birds know your name on my Lips, sing your storm a lullaby Now there’s nothing to do so I lay down and kiss you goodnight

Beautiful 03:36
lyrics
buy track
We walked through wood and through sunlight The rivers chuckled at our whispered words Fruit fell sticky from our fingers I lost my last chance not to fall in love with you What an entropic thing Awaken from a nightmare You are beside me, it’s Beautiful You smell like the ocean, of salt and freedom And your name is like a wave Crashing through until it breaks I lose my last chance not to fall in love with you What an entropic thing Awaken from a nightmare You are beside me, it’s Beautiful

Seasons 03:18
lyrics

She was the white witch of the north And the wind came to her call Shook my heart loose Like the leaves in fall She was the white witch of the north It didn’t matter to me at all No it didn’t matter To me at all Now I wake up singing in the morning And I wake up singing in the dawn I wake up singing in the dawn You You are all holy You are all holy You are all holy Every season has its place And every season has its place And yes it hurts to be alive But then you know that you’re alive Every tree is in the ground And every bird up in the sky And every human deep in love Oh, you are all holy You are all holy You are all holy You are all holy He was the dark boy from the south And the words poured forth from his mouth Like the sun and honey from his mouth He was the dark boy from the south And he loved her

Thinking Of A Starfish 01:36
lyrics
buy track
If I could keep it simple every single day I know the world would surely help to me to wash it all away So my products are organic and healthy for the planet But you’re one of seven billion, you might as well just can it No, I’m thinking of a starfish and the word appreciation Sometimes the biggest difference is to throw one in the ocean Well it seems you have a good point so I will no further argue Let’s hope that every starfish has an angel just like you

Home 03:52
lyrics

Growing up was easy, taking life slowly Ocean and mountain were my friends I was in no hurry, shoes were never near me Barefoot and naked in the rain I know you well I know you well I know you well Home x3 I’ve lived in the city, city all around me No one was naked in the rain Seemed as though the people compounded all their troubles Compressed them into concrete and to pain I see you crying People walk by it doesn’t make much sense to me I see you crying Why don’t you try to come on home with me Come on Home Everyone who meets me, knows I’m from the country I am proud of everything that I have learned And everywhere I travel, I love all those people Who get naked and crazy in the rain I know you well I know you well I know you well Home, Home Come on Home

Barefoot Romance 03:20
lyrics

Build a home with me Populate it with everything we need All those books we both love to read If you will be my pen I’ll be your page Together we’ll fill up that empty space With flowers blooming gently in the breeze You can be the flowers, I’ll be the breeze I guess what I’m trying to say is Will you be my person, my best friend The two of us writing stories Of a barefoot romance ‘til the end If you will be my switch, I’ll be your light You can turn me on, I got nothing to hide If you will be my door, I’ll be your room So open up, come inside I guess what I’m trying to say is Will you be my person, my best friend The two of us writing stories Of a barefoot romance ‘til the end If I will be your key will you be my chest And hold close everything I hold sacred If you will be my lungs I’ll be your air You can breathe me in, now you know I care I guess what I’m trying to say is Will you be my person, my best friend The two of us writing stories Of a barefoot romance ‘til the end Be my pack and I’ll be your wolf Run fierce with you through the wildest woods On fire we’ll heat the moon ‘til it ignites Burns fierce and wild…for love’s delight

Learn To Pray 02:59
lyrics
buy track
Hello my dark days My fountains pouring night This personal horror story And I will be just fine It’s just how I learn To pray When you try to fix me Every time I cry You leave me a pauper Penniless and prone to fight It’s just how I learn This is how I learn It’s just how I learn To pray Sit here with myself Perfect solitude To bring myself back home I cooked myself a bowl of soup It’s just how I learn This is how I learn It’s just how I learn To pray Vivid is me I’m an orchid after the rain I am pregnant and resplendent I’m tameless and I’m wise With every step I take And every move I make With every step I take I’m following the wild line

Keep on brother it’s all I can say You know the way, you know the way Wit up brother, wait for us I will walk beside you with our sister that’s enough Oh brother, brother look and see So many similarities Oh brother, brother you and me We keep it simple Brother Joshie Shine on brother where you are Know that you light me up even when you shine from far I hug every sunrise ‘cos I know It’s you who warmed it up for me just a little while ago Oh brother, brother look and see So many similarities Oh brother, brother you and me We keep it simple Brother Joshie You were there when it was dark Talking until dawn or sleep stole words And stilled out muffled laughs We kept it simple Brother Joshie Storytellers all we live with flair it runs within our blood from the gypsies we descent This pirate minstrel family Yes we are all dreamers but every truth was once a dream Yes we are all dreamers but every truth was once a dream Yes we are all dreamers Yes, we are all dreamers Oh brother, brother look and see So many similarities Oh brother, brother you and me We keep it simple Brother Joshie Brother Joshie Brother Joshie

You Will Take...Everything 03:10
lyrics
buy track
You expected me to agree I see you thought I’d comply ‘Cos you’ve compiled your facts Through years of careful research The facts should always comply They never lie You fake every dance Of every dream the real can see You rearrange, ‘til the suit fits but not me You will take You will take Everything Everything There’s nothing here to say Except I don’t see things your way ‘Cos what you say’s got no sense There’s nothing like a heart I can feel beating in this Nothing like a heart at all…it’s a mechanical jaw It’s eating up everything I see There’s nothing left here but the thought of me You will take You will take Everything Everything Don’t try Don’t you even try Don’t try I’m right here

Puzzle Pieces 03:52
lyrics

Has it all been decided Before we begin If it’s all been decided Where do I fit in I’m not so sure I believe that I’m not so sure I believe I’m not so sure I believe that I fit in So I rise up and look down from an eagle-eye view I watch all you people, you’re like pieces of a puzzle This I ponder And it seems it’s all connected and this mosaic is a patchwork sea And if it’s all connected a shifting mosaic on a patchwork sea We are all puzzle pieces We are all puzzles We are all puzzle pieces We are all trying to fit in Now don’t be alarmed I’m not I’m listening…and observing But don’t be alarmed I’m not I’m listening, I’m always listening now, listening now Don’t be alarmed, no I’m listening I glide through the clouds, down I’m asking no questions As I slip into my place I know I don’t Need all of the answer right now ‘Cos we are all puzzle pieces We are all puzzles We are all puzzle pieces We are all puzzles We are all learning to fit in

Lucid Daydream Sea Song 08:38
lyrics
buy track
Hold fast to me dear as I lie fast asleep We hold fast to the mast and sink to the deep The world passes by in aquatic displays See the fish in their curious ways This may just be my lucid daydream sea song Though we sail under seas I ask not for despair Every adventure has a price we must pay Seems we’ve sunk down as the others grew up Now our ceiling’s their floor and I praise our good fortune I look up at the night sky, you tell stories to me Of all that was when air we breathed When we walked over land though we dreamed Under sea This may just be my lucid daydream sea song Now my best friend’s a sea urchin of bright shiny green Apart, that is, from you girl you know what I mean At last in love we left all the lost ones behind I breathe in the green I see reflect in your eyes I look up at the night sky, you tell stories to me Of all that was when air we breathed When we walked over land though we dreamed Under sea On shipwrecks below are the places we grow Delicate vines, see them sway to and fro Yes, life is fine deep in the brine The salt on my tongue lets me know you are mine I look up at the night sky, you tell stories to me Of all that was when air we breathed When we walked over land though we dreamed Oh we dream Under sea This may just be my lucid daydream sea song This may just be my lucid daydream sea song

about

Welcome Home, to a place we call The Wild Land. This is where your heart resides; where your mind surrenders to the wolf inside; where nothing is tame and everything fiercely defends the real; where the edge is just a step away and you are grateful for its enlivening presence. This is where we live. We invite you to come inside and stay for as long as you like. Come on Home with me.
