[Verse 1] I've been asleep so long - scared to wake up Feared when this dream is done I will fade out No more exist I cease to be I won't survive this [Verse 2] I've been asleep so long I've forgotten Who I was way back when we were golden I don't recall No longer know Where am I hiding? [Verse 3] I've been asleep so long 'times life feels real (but) I know there's something wrong - swallow red pill Open my mind Know what I'll find Mine was a great dream Sleeping so long [x 4] Open my mind Know what I'll find Mine was a great life We are golden [to fade]

Verse 1 All in the detail which grows from your mind Manifestation is food for my eyes Better believe it - there is no victim Every creation try see divinity Verse 2 All in emotion that flows from my soul Always conviction that scores me my goal Making up meaning so long as it serves Waking or sleeping I always deserve my life Chorus Every life is a work of art Manifestive perfection Myriad facets Divinity expressed Verse 3 Everybody - no matter the song Divine prerogative - no right or wrong All our variety comes from the one Rise above judgement just because different tunes Repeat Chorus

Verse 1 Receiving stranger as if God Believing God has stopped by Tradition dictates this a must Might it be they're on to something? Verse 2 Accepting service as if God Rejecting 'I'm unworthy' Consider possibilty Might it be I'm really divine? Chorus Sometimes you stuggle with this too Lose sight of who you are Maybe that's what we come here for? Forget to remember Verse 3 Recognizing the face of God Disguised as humble servant Divinity spread all around Might it be I'm part of something? Repeat Chorus v1 Instrumental Chorus v2 Sometimes you stuggle with this too Lose sight of who you are Maybe that's what we come here for To forget who we were So we can remember later

Gulliver 02:55
[verse 1] Looking down to the ground I feel like I'm Gulliver The grass is really trees Careful where I step [verse 2] Raise my eyes to the sky I wonder who's looking down Hope they know I'm alive Careful where you step [chorus] Gulliver Tell me who you are So much us and them In all you see Oh Gulliver Still it's not too late Tell them mend their ways Rewrite their fate [verse 3] Walking dog down the street Passing strangers catching eye Though they may never meet Careful where I step ;) [repeat Chorus] [instrumental] [verse 4] So as we walk side by side Let us agree to never Tread on each other's toes Careful where we step [repeat Chorus to fade]

Verse 1 Some people worship Others are neutral And some they oscillate between the point of views seen Others defy you Sometimes deny you Exist but you don't buy what they believe to be true Chorus You play your game Always the winner Sunshine or rain No righteous or sinners Verse 2 Some people don't care You are or not there They just get on with living life here in the moment Religions judge them Their voices condemn Still I believe the path I take is just a choice choosed Repeat Chorus Verse 3 I may forget you Sometimes neglect you Still you remain always my one without a second Repeat Chorus to fade

Oddball 03:21
[Verse 1] He's a visitor He's a stranger Hails from out of town Not around here Only passing through Gone tomorrow [Verse 2] He's an old school cat Tune a humming Plays a mean guitar Pick 'n' strumming ... he say Now is where it's at Future nothing [Bridge] He's a lot like you He's an oddball [Chorus] Travels the universe Searching out feeling Remembers every birth born Still he believes in you [Verse 3] Healthy egotist 'I' affliction Peace with who he is Self conviction ... he say Always I exist I'm a given [Repeat Bridge] [Repeat Chorus] He's an oddball (to fade)
