LYRICS | tony-moss

grateful

for the Moonlight falling

through the trees

and for this ground beneath my knees

for the memories of love I have known

forever grateful

and for the pain

and all we have lost

for the sorrows

we have caused

still we whisper grateful

so very grateful

to have loved at all

forever grateful... yes

to hear the birds at dawn

they're singing, "grateful"

so very grateful

to have lived at

forever grateful... yes

to hear the angel's song

they're singing, "grateful"

so very grateful

to have loved at all

they sing to me

they sing to be at all

they're singing, "grateful"

so very grateful

to have loved at all

come to me, yet

it hasn’t come to me yet
but when it does i will know

and i’ll open my soul
and i’ll give you what i

have to give

it hasn’t come to me yet
but when the world sets me free
i will know how to be
and i’ll show what you haven’t seen yet

it hasn’t come to me yet
but it’s all been said before i guess
so i’ll be still and know who i am
but it’s all been said before i guess
so i’ll be still and know that i am

and i’ll say, thank you for love
thank you for friends
thank you for all that there is

another day, another night
another year you’ve set aside
another drowning of the tide
that brings the life you’re yearning after

another moment passes by
another cloud forms in your eye
until the storm breaks and the dam
around your heart is flooded open

then all the years will fall like tears
flowing great rivers of devotion
and all the scars will fall like stars into an
indigo, indivisible blue ocean

of course, there really is no time
and all our sufferings but a lie
against the grandeur of an ever churning,
undulating motion…

grace

black & blu

for all the colors who have

suffered indignations

i offer a prayer i hold as true

for all the hues of light

who braved the inquisitions

a bitter sweet song of fortitude

from all the time that i have spent

in comtemplation

one reoccurring thought rings true

that to you, you, you

i owe undying gratitude

for being the hope & sum of you

and to all my friends

in you the whole world's born again

i give it all up to you

and to all my friends

i see the whole world born again

so i'm givin it all up to you

looking back behind the shame

and deprivation

starvation of love can be so cruel

but from the shadows of our dark

and lowly places

a shimmer of love retains the truth

that from where inside of me i find

this consolation

i offer this prayer i hold as true

and to you, you, you

i pledge undying gratitude

this prodigal son returns his due

...

if i could be a prism of your life reflected

without a smudge of attitude

i would be a victory of the light perfected

but as it is...

i'm black & blu

lovin you

im lovin you

so badly it hurts

this is my world

when the sun flares

and the moon glares

i'll be there

i'll be thre

some souls

never let go

their holding onto the shores

of becoming

but guess what

here come the waves

of becoming

you

kalyana (wind song)

hu...

calling on a wind song

kalyana wind song

wind song calls

but i've been away

and i've been away

from you so long

and you

have you been away too

too long to hear her call

the wind song calls us all

and you, to you, she calls

and the cool rain falls

to calm it all

i can hear her calling

sometimes so strong

i can hear her call from within my bones

she calls me home

heya-nana-mama-she calls

wind song

bird song

cloud song

whale song

and the moon calls

to the sun call

and the stars, they call us all

hu... wind song

and i know i've been away

but i can hear her calling

she calls to you

wont you call her too

she calls to you

all my love

we've traveled far

to find this place

where weary souls

find a warm embrace

all my love

comes from this place

we've traveled far

from outer space

to bring you love

and a warm embrace

all our love

comes from this place

we've traveled far

from inner space

to calm the war

with a warm embrace

and unto you

we sing and pray

from this place

may all your bombs

turn into birds

and

fly

away

sunflowers & wood

if i share my love it's true

that if i do

i share the world with you

fallen petals, grains of sand

your hands reveal the truth

at our essence we are all just hands

searching for grains of truth

in your presence i can understand

my journey begins with you

and i share my love it's true

that if i do

i share the oceans too

we're drifting in the sand

and our hands reveal the truth

in a moment we will all be free

free to begin to choose

love is letting go of all i knew

and all i believed as true

and it wont take too long

this feeling so strong

this love everlasting

like sunflowers & wood

can make us feel good and

we're feelin the the same way

we know a thing or two

about the way the world moves

she moves in you

in our hearts the flowers bloom

in pots & pans and bowls of clay we make

from weathered wood & throwaways

and if i say the world is blue

and if i do, i see this blue in you

it's blue like pebbles in the sand

that our hands reveal as truth

so what can i say

in the crash of a wave

i picked out a few things

like from ego to heart

is where love truely starts

and we're feeling the same way

thousand memories

there's a thousand memories

in my mind

of a land i've only dreamed of

where the trees are tall and open wide

to a sky of endless rainfall

there's a thousand words

in verse & rhyme

that paint a world of natural beauty

i can see them clearly in my mind

and the only words, they move

but they don't compare

to the beauty of what's real here

in a thousand years the world can change, some for the worse, some for the better

but the fire in our hearts remains

the only truth that burns forever

and that truth lives on

as the beauty of what's real here
