6. HEART OF THE MATTER
Don’t loose the heart of the matter
Don’t loose the heart of the matter
Let yourself be all that you can be
When I open my eyes I see
My body drifting away from me
Holding on just going on
As I open my ears I hear the truth
From way deep inside of me
As I touch the empty space
A sensation of peace
Is overwhelming me
Don’t loose the heart of the matter
Don’t loose the heart of the matter
Let yourself be all that you can be
Be sure to take the time
Don’t loose the heart of the matter
Nothing can be more to the point
Don’t loose the heart of the matter
If you find that times not on your side
Don’t loose the heart of the matter
Find a way to create yourself
Don’t forget the heart of the matter
Don’t loose the heart of the matter
Don’t loose the heart of the matter
Let yourself be all that you can be
7. STEP UP
Every day gonna be a new day
Every day gonna be a brand new day
Every day gonna be a new day
Every day gonna be a new day
Every day we’re gonna make it happen
Everyone gonna step up higher now
Never ever let up keep your head high
Cause only you can do it
Only you
8. MY ONLY
If you were to take away my only
How lonely I might be
But if you were to give me everything
I would have much more than I could ever need
And if you were to show me
All the things I cannot see
Then I might just miss
What really matters to me
But if my life did not have you
Day to day I’m not so sure I’d know what to do
When you ask me what I’m feeling
I’m reeling in the thought of you
9. IF IT AINT RIGHT
If it aint right it aint right
Taking the slow lane leaving old ways
Gotta take a chance so I can be true
Fakin a moment feeling lowly
I gotta get myself a different point of view
Undressing old wounds dealing with my own fears
I’m thinking its way too soon
Move your perception it’ll be all-right
Cause change won’t come overnight
If it aint right it aint right
It’s a time zone when I’m all alone
In this ongoing case of déjà vu
Takes just a moment that’s kind of innocent
Gonna keep my eyes open searching for a clue
Without fear or favour of my behaviour
Maybe I’ve bitten off more than I can consume
What is this mystery I feel so intensely
Seems my angels have gone and left the room
Move your perception it’ll be all-right
Cause change won’t come overnight
10. CHOOKEN - (instrumental)

11. INSIDE OF ME
When I look inside of me
I see so many things
When I look inside of me
I see what this life brings
It brings me never ending joy
It brings me so much happiness
It brings me my human experience
When I look inside of me
I see so many things
When I look inside of me
I see what this life brings
When I look inside of me
I see the same things as you do
When I look inside of me
I see skin & bone like you do
The same heart & river of blood
The same spirit & rhythm of breath
The same end to life by death
When I look inside of me
I see so many things
When I look inside of me
I see what this life brings
1. PARTY
Every time I see you smile
It feels like a party
When I catch you smiling
It feels like a party
I caught you smiling in the rain
And you got me smiling again
It’s your party
It’s your party
Come on lets party
2. MINDFULL
Remain aware of all the little things
The many things that bring
All the little things
I learn a little more every day
So in love & i will not loose myself
In the colours that surround my state of mind
I know with every breath i take
Theres no use fighting
Cause the i will loose myself
In the colours that surround my state of mind
CHORUS
Don’t save the best for last
Ask for what you want
Believe it’s yours let go of the rest
Don’t save the best for last
Don’t take your life for granted
You’ve hot nothing more
Make your claim take a stand
Don’t save the best for last
CHORUS
3. GIDDYUP
Theres a wild thing on the loose
What you gonna choose x4
You can run & hide
Or you can get on for the ride x2
I said giddyup
Oh come on
Giddyup now
Giddyup x2
4. HEAVEN
Take me to a heaven
Do you know what I mean
Heaven is that place between you & me
Where we can meet halfway
Heaven is that place between you & me
Where we can meet
Surround yourself with cool crystal waters
That is what soothes the self
Surround yourself in skin deep dissent
And I will beg to be different
Heaven is that place between you & me
Where we can meet halfway
Take comfort in sweet nothings
Be inspired by simple things
5. LITTLE AT SEA
On the water I’m a little at sea
Kinda sorta a little at sea
When I’m home I’m still a little at sea
When I’m in your loving arms
I am a little at sea
In the city I’m a little at sea
In the peaceful countryside
I am at sea
Under the stars I’m to small to be me
When I’m planted on the ground
I am at sea
Waves crash and I felt you pass by me
In a little row boat
You were cruising and sailing
Cruising sailing crashing floating
Drowning swimming fishing
Wishing at sea
On the water I’m a little at sea
Kinda sorta a little at sea
When I’m home I’m still a little at sea
When I’m in your loving arms
I’m still at sea
Waves crash and I felt you pass by me
In a little row boat
You were cruising and sailing
Cruising sailing crashing floating
Drowning swimming fishing
Wishing at sea
6. DO IT IN LOVE
Come on world get down to it
If we relate and communicate we can educate
Surreal sense overload whisk away the time
layer after layer of a birds eye view
Dig deep sleep deep I’m in knee deep
Squat inside your breath
Bathe your intentions in peace
Do it in love
Get the funk up
Know your enemy forgive their fear
Walk tall seek the truth and nothing else
Crave not want not be humble be
Squat inside your breath
Bathe your intentions in peace
Do it in love
Get the funk up
Come on world get down to it
If we relate and communicate we can educate
Do it in love
Get the funk up
7. THANKFUL
Mmm I’m thankful Mmm I’m thankful
I’m so thankful
Thankful for where I am
Grateful for where I come from
Something was holding me back
I felt I was undone
Life is a journey to myself
So much that I can gain
My dreams keep me alive keep me sane
My place is out there somewhere
I have to take my leave
Find the dignity in humanity
My will to succeed
I won’t look back I won’t hold back
I’ll make it to the top
Success is a state of mind
My mind is all I’ve got
When you dream a dream
Nothing else matters
When you dream a dream things begin to change
When you dream a dream it’s a happy ever after
But my dream of dreams is left up to fate
8. YESTERDAY TODAY TOMORROW
Yesterday I lost my heart it was torn out from inside of me
Yesterday I lost my soul & it was taken like a fool
Yesterday I was victimized criticized and lied to
Then it was
Now it is
To become
Today I found my heart
It was not broken just a little bruised
Today I realized my soul had never left me
Today I conquered all fears
Then it was
Now it is
To become
You see I made choices I wasn’t ready to make
Fables & labels & misconstrued perceptions
And what I now know is
Tomorrow my heart will be to big for my chest
Tomorrow my soul will take me places
Tomorrow I embrace all change
Then it was
Now it is
To become
9. CONNECTED
Everybody needs to feel connected
Everybody wants to be connected
Everybody needs to feel connected
I’m connected to the stars at night
In flight outasight a shinning light
Everything is gonna be allright
Just as long as I’m connected
I need to feel connected to the place I live
To the people I give and the leaders who lead
With a voice of peace release &
Who want to be connected
I’m gonna tell it how it is
To feel connected
Everybody needs to feel connected
Everybody wants to be connected
Everybody needs to feel connected
I’m connected to the things I love
Like the moon above its shinning bright
Everything is gonna be allright
Just as long as I’m connected
I need to feel connected the the place within
To the muse to the passion of the music I’m in
With a voice of peace release for those
Who need to feel connected
I’m gonna tell it how it is
For me to feel connected
We all need to feel real
With something with someone
With anything
10. EXCUSE ME
CHORUS
We’re coming up we’re coming up stronger
We’re coming up we’re coming up every day
We’re coming up we’re coming up stronger
We’re coming up we’re coming up in every way
Excuse me mister
What you got planned for today
Hey there my sister
Have you got time to play
Oh my Mother
Did you get some praise
Hey there my brother
Are you having some happy days
Oh yea we’re coming up
We’re coming up stronger
CHORUS
11. WHAT IS LOVE
What is love I hear you asking
And I answer it’s a mystery to me
Only the blind can see
Cruising lusting teenagers first time love forever
Long pone converstions there open to interpretation
But love costs & who will pay the bill
Is anybody listening does anybody really care
What it means to you may be different to what it means to me
Like a whirlpool sucks you in & spits you out
It takes two to tango & three to make a plait
Fill the centre lush & creamy dreamy
Now do you fancy that
Is anybody listening does anybody really care
Is anybody listening does anybody really care
We are just the band in the corner is there anybody there
We’re making love to music & its an audio affair
Turn us up turn us down can you play something
That we can all sing along to
Is anybody listening does anybody really care
Tiny little corners sqeezed oh so tight together
The silence in my ears
All breath in & keep on smiling while my ego disappears
Melting mugging fancy gasses
We’re sweaty warm & moist
Oh but we’re tight so tight
And we are in the moment
Is anybody listening does anybody really care
1. THANK YOU
I want to thank you
The surest thing we ever know
Is the mind we leave this earth with
Is our passage to return
In the short time of our existence
We can’t change the world
Until we change ourselves
I want to thankyou
Blessings come in many colours
Survival is a state of mind
A simple act of faith
In the short time of our existence
We can’t change the world
Until we change ourselves
I want to thankyou
Evolution devotion emotion
The precious cargo of a complex mind
The surest thing we ever know
Is the mind we leave this earth with
Is our passage to return
In the short time of our existence
We can’t change the world
Until we change ourselves
2. BOOTYFULL
When you smile at me – i can see
You are bootyfull
When you look so sweet
Everyone can see

Everything you say everything you do
The way you walk
The way that you talk
You are so bootyfull
CHORUS
Your love is so bold it holds you deep in our hearts
When you look back you’ll see
Your whole world is bootyfull
When you style up big & you think you all that

If ya small or ya fall or ya looking for more
When ya cry or ya cold or ya just getting old
Remember you are bootyfull
CHORUS
If ya need or ya please or you don’t believe
Don’t forget you are bootyfull
Wherever you go or wherever you stay
Wherever you play or everyday
However you grow or what you don’t know
Whoever you love or who loves you
Be sure to stay bootyfull
CHORUS

4. AMAZE
Can’t get my mind away from you
Seems no matter what I do
I can’t get away
Nor do I want to
Nor do I need to
Nor will I ever ever
Can’t take my eyes away from you
Seems not matter how I try
I won’t look away
Nor do I want to
Nor will I leave you
Nor will I ever ever
Every time I see you
Every time I hear you
Every time I’m near you
Can’t wait to get my arms around you
It seems the very next thing to do
I just want to see you
Just want to please you
I just want to hold you forever
I’m feeling closer to you
I wonder do you feel the same way to
I just want to see you
Just want to hear you
I want to be near you
For ever and ever
Every time I see you
Every time I hear you
Every time I’m near you
5. BLESSED
That’s where I reside
Inside of you
In the cool of our harmonious scent
In the quiet of our desire spent
In the shade of our bodies bent
In the hour of our passionate relent
In the grasp of our sensual ease
In the calm of our rhythmic breeze
In the realm of our luscious tease
In the scheme of our expression please
In the awareness of our senses delight
In the beauty of our lavish respite
In the pleasure zone of all our might
In the power of our heavenly insight
In the flow of our endless breaths
In the expanse of our longing caress
In the breast of our heat expressed
In the hour of our love blessed
6. PRIDE
There are so many things I want to say
Cause theres so much oppression
Happening every daY
It’s a complicated situation
With a driven infatuation
Ya driving me driving me
CHORUS
Sing about pride
No matter what your colour
Sing about strength
No matter where you stand
Sing about power of the people
So how about singing about freedom
To love whoever you love
Theres so much fear around what comes naturally
There is so much fear around sexuality
It’s a complicated fascination
(an invasion of my privacy)
With a driven discrimination
Ya driving me driving me
CHORUS
So here we stand
Right before your eyes
So take a good look
And you might realise
I don’t want to shout down your name
I don’t want to shout down your colour
I don’t want to shout down race
I don’t want to shout down gender
I don’t want to shout down religion
CHORUS
7. POWER OF LOVE
Overwhelmed by the depth of this feeling
Motoring on overload
A vision of an overactive mind
Under siege by the weight of thought
I believe in the power of love
And there’s more than one way
To bring it on
Time takes its toll and waits for no one
Lost on a one way street
Under siege by a covert act of kindness &
The cruel intentions of a righteous might
There are more questions than there are answers
& a fine line between passion & pain
so why oh why are we not equal
if the truth really can set us free
I believe in the power of love
I believe
8. FUNK BABY - (instrumental)
(instrumental)
9. NOTHING
Just a moment i feel nothing
Nothing but a feeling
And the feeling is passing
A sense of a moment in space
Don’t wait for the ending
Whats here & now is all
Endings are for beginnings
And all thats beginning is now
CHORUS
Everything I am is not
Everything I own I don’t
Every little things disappears
Behind what I feel for you
Every little thing is nothing
Compared to my luv for you
Take a chance in the mirror
Be sure you like what you see
Like I had that chance to be sure
I see you in the mirrorGive beyond what you have
But be sure to leave some more
Of yourself leave for sure what you have
And what you need
CHORUS
10. FEELING GOOD
Feeling good ice-cream on sunny days
Chocolate in bed
mmmmmm outdoors
Cool clear oceans
Feeling crazy for you
Feeling good climbing mountains
Making music smiling laughting
Fire spacing
A smile on your face
Feeling good sleeping in on rainy days
Sharing secrets
Warm bodies on a cold night
Old friends
Enjoy the moment
Feeling gook
Wet after dry
Cool & crazy chocolate….
‘I think you know what I mean’
summer breeze
under shady tres
smile on your face
feeling crazy for you
enjoy the moment
11. LILY
I’m looking at nothing
Waiting for something to happen
I’m watching the world pass me by
I’m a lizard in the shade of a sundial
Soaking up time
It’s a moment in space
That goes on and on to nowhere
And all I want to do is lie around with you
You are so beautiful
I made sure all the trees had there leaves yesterday
Its not that I cant count
Îts not the same amount today
Smiling precious moments
With you
Im dancing on the inside
Are we dreaming the same place
And all I want to do is lie around with you
You are so beautiful
And all I wanna do is lie around with you
Theres nothing more enjoyable
Than lying around with you
I am in wonderland
Lying around with you
Theres nothing more important
Than lying around with you
I will never tire of lying around with you
You are so beautiful
12. SOMEBODIES BELIEF
Ask yourself 3 questions
Audition your beliefs
Expose your mind for all to see
Alleviate fear
I said she said then we said
The conversations dead
Somebodies belief says
My belief ain’t worth believing
I respond with a sincere smile
Somebodies belief says
My belief ain’t worth believing
Excuse my ignorance
Are you really serious
Cause ignorance amplifies the situation
A myth of confusion
You’re wrong I’m right
Shine my statue Oh so bright
Somebodies belief says
My belief ain’t worth believing
I respond with a sincere smile
Somebodies belief says
My belief ain’t worth believing
The greater scheme alludes to higher things
A choice that often escapes me
I tried and died then spirit ghostly gratified
Buried all my burdens
Somebodies belief says
My belief ain’t worth believing
I respond with a sincere smile
Somebodies belief says
My belief ain’t worth believing
13. ANGEL
Angel is her first name
Her mother gave her the dream
She always wanted an angel
To keep her company
Baby angel was the angel
All babies are
A first child
Bathing all in loving insight
An infant defiant
Discovering independent mobility
She began to walk
Walked into darkness
Walked into light
Never knowing she was even there
Never knowing
Angel is her first name
Her mother gave her the dream
She always wanted an angel
To keep her company
Angel is a woman now
Independent waling
Took her to places dark & light
Sometimes not recognising wrong from right
She hid her name to protect her vulnerability
Walked into darkness
Walked into light
Never knowing she was even there
Never knowing
She knows her mothers love
And her mother knows her love
14. LIBIDO
When I growed up I had a serious plan
I was gonna settle down and find me a man
As my eyes opened and I looked around
There was an alternative that I found
Cause my libido
My libido
Have you seen my libido
In your town
Now some folk knew & some were surprised
But I dismissed their phobia & lying eyes
Love is greater than any pen or sword
& the great alternative is what I could afford
Cause my libido
My libido
Have you seen my libido
In your town
And there always is a moral to the story
If you dare come out in all your glory
In this life experience tune your emotions
Feel the pulse & take the dive in your loves potion
Cause my libido
My libido
Have you seen my libido
In your town
