Awake (Live) 04:07
Awake Papa don’t worry I will make it Papa I was born with your dreams All I remember are stars shining And how much I needed to shine too I remember day after day He hustlin’ and raising babies Dreams had to take a break Dreams he never would chase So begins me papa’s new dream 1 2 3 And just like that magic Life goes on Woah So he raised me and he taught me To keep runnin runnin runnin Like all is at stake here is the world I am awake And I know most of us won’t get there And I still wonder if I want to Born with a dream or is it an illusion Once I am there it’s not what I thought But no matter day after day We all have to earn our way So if I’m gonna spend my life I will spend it in pursuit I will push until I can’t I will work until I’m broken I will master my own world Be the ruler of my fate So begins me papa’s new dream 1 2 3 And just like that magic Life goes on Woah So he raised me and he taught me To keep runnin runnin runnin Like all is at stake here is the world I am awake I am awake I am awake I am awake

Home (Live) 03:06
We go out driving Usually at night Everything so quiet No wait no line Down memory lane In our hometown Relive my youth With my best friend Roots run deep Open arms my soul to keep Where I fell and learned to love Home Open mic Strumming my strings for the first time Where the song never dies Home The world sees one thing My friends know what’s up My highs and lows my flaws Can’t scare real love And we grew up in Austin So we don’t care Free as the river The music blares Roots run deep Open arms my soul to keep Where I fell and learned to love Home Open mic Strumming my strings for the first time Where the song never dies Home No matter how far I go I will always come home No matter how far I go I will always come home Bored of the rat race Let’s blow this place I know just where to go They know my face And it’s endless music We play all night Sing songs of freedom Sings songs of life Roots so deep Open arms my soul to keep Where I fell I fell in love Home Open mic Strumming my guitar til the end of time yeah
I will always go I will always go Home home home Home

Feeling so high These beats hypnotize me It’s no surprise No drug can beat this music Don’t want to stop Want to get lost Vintage machine Rule over me Vintage machine I’m Lost in a dream Buttons and knobs I think I found my purpose Feeling so free Even though I’m the servant So hard to stop Want to stay lost In this vintage machine Rule over me Vintage machine I’m lost in a dream Vintage machine Rule over me Vintage machine I’m lost in this dream These machines they all rule over me Late at night I hear their melodies Truth is I can’t stop Im so obsessed Now I see that this defines success She flies through the sky High on a life That for now is laid out before her What she can’t see Is the trail of debris She’s left in pursuit of her dreams What will it take for her to wake From the trance of the chase and the chaos? Who will be there When the dark clouds appear And the path becomes steep and unclear Vintage machine Rule over me Vintage machine Lost in a dream Vintage machine Rule over me Vintage machine I’m lost in this dream

I know this dance taking this chance Damned if we do damned if we don’t Truth sets us free I need honesty Even when it frightens me and oh it frightens me It seems impossible you and I Our worlds will change as soon as we try Try yeah High in the sky Onto the next Ride or die Keep on keep on Singing oh Keep on keep on Feelin’ oh Keep on keep on My body with his arms around me Makes me feel this way feel this way Can’t help myself my fire’s burning I can’t stay away, stay away Now we’re here there is no turning back, no If it’s real love me and make it last, oh yeah High in the sky Onto the next Ride or die Keep on keep on Singing oh Keep on keep on Feelin’ oh Keep on keep on Until I find someone find someone, find someone to love I will not settle for settle for anything but love High in the sky Onto the next Ride or die Keep on keep on Singing oh Keep on keep on Feelin’ oh Keep on keep on

I don't praise your God I praise the earth and the sky and the moon I don't follow time I follow waves of the ocean of my womb What I do to you is witchcraft And it’s up to you resist that So time after time we had the power But no chance to shine Only to be devoured Waiting patiently For things to change Well now change has come Prepare for the wave What I do to you is witchcraft And it’s up to you resist that What I do to you is witchcraft And it’s up to you [instrumental breakdown] There's a new day coming oh my how we've prayed There's a new wave coming don't get swept away There's a new day coming oh my how we've prayed There's a new wave coming don't get swept away There's a new day coming oh my how we've prayed There's a new wave coming don't get swept away There's a new day coming oh my how we've prayed There's a new wave coming don't get swept away What I do to you is witchcraft And it’s up to you resist that What I do to you is witchcraft And it’s up to you resist that

Exploding stars in the sky That is what would be him and I He still don’t understand So let’s give it another round See you in the next life See you in the next life See ya see ya See you in the next life See you in the next life. Open your eyes In the next life ’Til then I’ll fly Live up live high He’s not meant to be mine And I’ve been born a thousand times Timing is everything So I will wait patiently See you in the next life See you in the next life See ya see ya See you in the next life See you in the next life See you in the next life See you in the next life See ya see ya See you in the next life See you in the next life. You forgot to learn how to crawl Your eyes are open can you see me at all You look the same but you don’t know You were mine a long time ago Some dreams are meant to burn I’ll watch you fade away Take this lifetime figure it out I’ll see you again next time around around See you in the next life See you in the next life See ya see ya See you in the next life See you in the next life See you in the next life See you in the next life See ya see ya See you in the next life See you in the next life.

And so now the story goes I fall in love Floating free in outer space I’m always falling Day by day I’m in the clouds My faith is blinding Even though I know it’s love It still feels new You make me feel so good Don’t know what I’d do without you You make me feel so good And I never wanna be without you in my life There’s a line that separates Good from crazy It’s very fine but I have learned How to navigate I fell in love and I fell hard So let it take me Life is here for me to live So I will live You make me feel so good Don’t know what I’d do without you You make me feel so good And I never wanna be without you in my life I don’t care what they say They will go theirs and I will go my way I don’t need to explain I will not try to quantify this is God’s language And I will sing I will spread love’s comfort and healing He has given his hand to me I will do the same Walk with him, walk with him, walk with him, walk with him I will do my best by him I will not give up Walk with him, walk with him, walk with him, walk with him Even in our darkest hours I’ll stand by his side Walk with him, walk with him, walk with him, walk with him Walk with him, walk with him, walk with him, walk with him Walk with him, walk with him, walk with him, walk with him

Dance he said dance like you’ll never dance again Laugh he said laugh like you’ll never laugh again He died a young man but seemed an old man He saw not the end but a way to begin again So tell me once tell me twice, tell me that I’ll never die When you lie, won’t you please tell me why? When you can then I’ll search for the answers But I’ll get lost and find more to wonder Like why the dead man knows it all And why I feel alone And why I try to fly but always fall Back to earth [gtr solo] And when I die I’ll know it all And I accept that I am alone And I will try to fly but I will fall Back to earth

Well there's floodin' down in Texas All of the telephone lines are down Well there's floodin' down in Texas All of the telephone lines are down And I've been tryin' to call my baby Lord and I can't get a single sound Well dark clouds are rollin' in Man I'm standin' out in the rain Well dark clouds are rollin' in Man I'm standin' out in the rain Yeah flood water keep a rollin' Man it's about to drive poor me insane Well I'm leavin' you baby Lord and I'm goin' back home to stay Well I'm leavin' you baby Lord and I'm goin' back home to stay Well back home are no floods or tornados Baby and the sun shines every day

Fight (Live) 03:59
Takes every little ounce of patience I've worked so hard to make this Focusing 'til there's tears in my eyes Gotta work gotta change my life I wanna see higher I wanna grow further Open my eyes and fight the good fight, good fight I wanna dive deeper I wanna love truer Open my eyes and fight the good fight, good fight Change the world we first must change ourselves Raise the vibration of someone else 'Til their eyes and their hearts are open And we cause a chain reaction Free ourselves from mental slavery Never falling for false security I wanna see higher I wanna grow further Open my eyes and fight the good fight, good fight I wanna dive deeper I wanna love truer Open my eyes and fight the good fight, good fight {gtr solo} Change the world we first must change ourselves Raise the vibration of someone else Change the world we first must change within Fear destroys all hope of connection When we are sick in spirit The truth we cannot hear it Bowing down to willful ignorance To a culture comes destruction

He said he shot my brother all of those years all of those years ago dead They done forgot my brother and all of those tears all of those tears that we shed Fight back that bitterness that's hunted us down making us turn on ourselves Always divide and conquer I can see now I can see now what's been done Fire to fight, hear my cry I won't lie down, never Fire to fight, lose my sight Time to mend Love transcends Death, destruction, exploitation Love transcends Shame, regret, mass confusion Love transcends Greed, hate, manipulation and all of time Love transcends. Watch as the fearful people stifle us all making us see what they see Danger 'round every corner is what they believe one must learn to break free Fire to fight, hear my cry I won't lie down, never Fire to fight, lose my sight Time to mend Love transcends Death, destruction, exploitation Love transcends Shame, regret, mass confusion Love transcends Greed, hate, manipulation and all of time Love transcends. {gtr solo} Whisper words of revolution Sowing seeds of days to come Pray for peace and absolution There is power in our tongues Love transcends.

LoFi (Live) 04:38
Hey I don’t even know what time it is All day I’ve been in my head all day You need to get some sun You need to get some sleep When the hell I ask you what you think? Hey don’t tell me how to live my life Realize Life in Lofi Could be no stress no stress Unplug detach I dream about it Then immediately I’m hypnotized Too much The whole world is in my hands I wanna buy new stuff I wanna watch my stories I want my supper delivered Stuck by choice in a velvet rut I realize Life in Lofi Could be no stress no stress Unplug detach I dream about it Freedom in a world with too much noise I want simple joy Slow down live more I need it lofi with no stress no stress I dream about it Remember who I am (Remember where you come from from from) Only so much time (Never lose that focus focus focus) Every decade I feel reborn (Remember where you come from from from) 
And these songs are my guiding force (Never lose that focus focus focus) 
 To the past I tried to go but the waves of change had flowed All the folks faded away Became memories and were replaced (Remember where you come from from from)
 Only so much time (Never lose that focus focus focus) Realize Life in Lofi Could be no stress no stress Unplug detach I dream about it Freedom in a world with too much noise I want simple joy Slow down live more I need it lofi with no stress no stress I dream about it

Hey little girl why are you so worried Hey little girl just try to be happy Finding the truth can be so painful Beauty is found when light still shines through Anything anything for the Anything anything for the good vibrations yeah Surrender Give in to the highs give into the lows Surrender Whether I’m on top or climbing from below Surrender Take a deep breath tomorrow I will know Surrender I say surrender yeah Legs are tired but I keep running Heart is so heavy I keep singing Cos I live oh I live for the Cos I live oh I live for the good vibrations yeah [CHORUS] Why must I feel this way When I know just who I am I just want to chill all day But anxiety demands I keep Runnin away Runnin away Runnin away Runnin away Runnin away Runnin away Runnin away I will see my dreams some day My flag is in the sand I will see my dreams one day They’re already who I am patience is the only way Now I understand [CHORUS]

Carefree I need to keep my spirits high While I walk So I step back and look at everything My soul starts to sing Day by day Go my way Keep the faith Go my way All the crazy things All the crazy things we do for love Love All the crazy things All the crazy things we do for love Love I sit and wonder ‘bout the time it takes To make our dreams come true But I don’t sweat it I am down to ride Breathe enjoy the view Day by day Go my way Keep the faith Go my way Keep the faith Go my way All the crazy things all the crazy things we do for love Love All the crazy things all the crazy things we do for love Love Never sway This path I know it never ends Here to say It’s a waste to pretend Love is forgiving demanding Joy and pain never end Fast like a shooting star Don’t know where I am landing know All I know is believing This is bigger than me
And I can’t control what I do for love Day by day Go my way Keep the faith Go my way Keep the faith Go my way

Joy (Live) 05:23
When it was me and you You ran away at something new Realized I had been used Now trust is hard to do Not only tonight give me tomorrow The work is never done it’s the pill I have swallowed So I will forgive I won’t take it personal There always is a choice, I have made the choice I choose joy Joy Thought you were a good idea Knew I could not make it real Try to force it make it work Immediate crash and burn Gotta leave tonight I can’t give tomorrow Short term happiness can be long term sorrow Hope you can forgive hope you find a real love Whenever I lose track, it always brings me back I choose joy Joy I choose joy Joy Another tall tale, too short to try it When you hide behind a mask, I don’t buy it Give me actions, not only words When it’s time to stand, you’re in the dirt I decide I decide My soul is not for rent I decide I decide My dreams cannot be bent I decide I decide Ignore the noise I decide I decide I choose joy All around me Joy I choose joy Like a symphony Joy I choose joy All I ever need Joy I choose joy All I never need Joy
