Verse 1: Come a time when the life you lead means nothing Without your money who are you? What do you believe? Tell me whatcha lookin’ for? Well you better go find it The cars in the driveway, sell it off The bills that you gotta pay, burn em all Your debt to the man, you’re no slave boy You live long, you live well, let it go The you open up, then you rise above, you’re gonna rise above Chorus: Give up your money go find a lover Give up your worries go find a brother You speak of your heart and you’ll be reminded Seek the truth and you will find it Verse 2: Bring it back now, open up the door to the new life Is it what you were looking for? Felt just right Something you couldn’t ignore, son imagine the world in harmony If we all knew what’s up No food for the hungry, plant it up No clean water runs free, purify Forget the government lies, you’re no slave boy You live long, you live well, let it go The you open up, then you rise above, you’re gonna rise above

Verse 1: Give it to my people ‘cause I know that they be rising above To our creator giving life under the sky above To our surprise we hold the key and that be setting us free For all with ears to hear the truth is yours if you believe Born into a world with all the suffering supporting the greed And honest people getting robbed by the people they feed Tell me, what does it take to turn the tides and rid us all of their lies? Realize this world is ours, someday we’ll hold the prize Chorus: Listen close your mind to come at ease Open up inside to come at peace Chen it all boils down the last shall be the first When it all boils down in time we all will learn Verse 2: Give it to my people ‘cause I know that they be rising above To our creator giving life under the sky above Peace to the mothers giving their children all their love and their time Peace to the fathers working endlessly so the family can get by Living in a world where we waste, pollute, and still ask for more Conscious people planting trees but they are ignored Tell me what does it take to set it straight and start over again Before it’s too late, I know it’s possible my friend

All I See 03:02
Verse 1: See these pictures of myself, the life I used to lead Watch the turning of the tables, unfolding prophecy Feel the love, feel the grace, feel a God that lives by faith Find the beauty in the mystery Here’s to life and destiny, here’s to the people in between To what was, to what is, and to what will be Chorus: Well I don’t have all the answers and I’ll never know what the future brings But today this humble man goes stepping out to find his creator complete Inside that is all I see Verse 2: Walking out into the street spreading that good word Other believers preaching hatred, fear of the Lord But the spirit in the sky made of compassion oh he cries When will the people see the truth and light? And the burden of the world, every boy and every girl Letting go, finding inner peace Bridge: Used to be afraid of what the future brings But as I find my destiny, God I surrender to thee Lord have your way in me, you are all I see

Verse 1: See myself ride upon this long road Coming through the dust in the air, where should I go? Until I find myself, I judge no one else Til I wake up for real, I have no story to tell So I pick mysle fup again, then I lend a hand to a friend No longer can I pretend there is no light ahead, no, no And I believe, I believe, I believe, and so we sing Chorus: Through this world afar we rise, rise above into the light Who in this world could heal the blind, rise above into the light Verse 2: Grasping for something concrete, struggling for a place to be Questioning is God asleep? Letting go into the flow Riding waves it’s coming soon, oscillating with the moon Gravitating to yourself, raise your head up, sing aloud!
