Stereo 04:00
Stereo, my stereo Your heart is made of gold You’re my partner in this stolen time-code rodeo Stereo, my stereo I’ll never be alone Come and rest and listen to the tone C’mon listen ohh Come on listen ohh In your hand the baton is resting We await your beck and call The world is silence now to hear our orchestra The strings begin by singing In such joyful harmonies And the stars they echo in their twinkling C’mon listen ohh (Gandhi) “In the midst of death, Life persists In the midst of darkness, Light persists In the midst of untruth, Truth persists” Come on listen ohh Stereo, my stereo Your heart is made of gold You’re my partner in this stolen time-code rodeo Stereo, my stereo I’ll never feel alone Come and rest and listen to Come and rest and listen to Come and rest and listen to the tone Come and stay with me tonight Come and rest and listen too

Help Me Out 03:06
Outside another winter’s day The snow’s falling down the window pane Just me and my girl singin’ songs to pass the time away It don’t get much better than it does today Wooo Heyyyy Remember being caught in the pouring rain (whatcha gonna do?) Pick up the pieces that you threw away and I, Can’t seem to find the edge of pain Shed a little light,(oh lord) vitamin D coursing through my veins The medicine sun don’t feel any better than it does today Won’t you help me to remember this? When the good, the good goes away Yeah, won’t you help me to remember? (chorus) Won’t you help me, won’t you help me out (repeat) Won’t you help me, won’t you help me out (repeat) All of your love, When the good goes away Help me to remember, All of your love When the good goes, good goes away, yeah Outside another windy day, The wind’s blowing up a needed change To my life it seems, is gonna go away And when i feel my love is being taken away I would like to stay with you today (oh won’t you stay) (chorus) Won’t you help me, won’t you help me out (repeat) Won’t you help me, won’t you help me out (repeat) All of your love, When the good goes away Help me to remember, All of your love When the good goes, good goes away, yeah (repeat chorus) C’mon now, C’mon now, C’mon now SOS won’t you? C’mon now help me Remember all the good, Remember all the good Won’t you help me to remember? (ad lib to end)

Lookout 04:42
Out on top of the mountain Out away from it all Stillness flows like a fountain We drink thirsty as hell Though I try to move I’m paralyzed in my sleep Once again I need help Shake me alive Shake me awake Oh won’t you lookout for me Out on top of a mountain All the trees! They rustle in their rhyme And though it flows in and out then It seems to hold me here in time Though I try to move I’m paralyzed in my sleep Once again I need help Shake me alive Shake me awake Oh won’t you lookout I hear a call from the outer Leading me in Where I hope to find peace Pieces of you are all I have left Though I know I can’t hold them forever Though I try to move I’m paralyzed in my sleep Once again I need help Shake me alive Shake me awake Oh won’t you lookout for me Shake me alive Shake me awake Oh won’t you lookout In your eyes I see the story Only one we both could tell Bring us back to days of glooooory Though we know we can’t hold on forever Though I try to move I’m paralyzed in my sleep Once again I need help Shake me alive Shake me awake Oh won’t you lookout for me Shake me alive Shake me awake Oh won’t you lookout for me Shake me alive Shake me awake Oh won’t you lookout (spoken word) And we are gathered here today To sing songs of praise Praise one another For we all deserve Love

With our hands held Held together We will go to To the water With our hands held Held together Do I hear silence? Or do I recognize the absence of sound? What the ears don’t hear What the eyes don’t see We call invisible What the ears don’t hear and the eyes don’t see While the proud lie On the riverbed Like fish outta water We’ll be caught in the currents On our way to the sea And this moment although fleeting Could last on forever I will take a mental picture To keep company Do I fear violence? If I could just release this mental hold I have on life and listen to the the rhythm To the rhythm that is me What the ears don’t hear what the eyes don’t see While the proud lie On the riverbed Like fish outta water (water) We’ll be caught in the currents On our way to the sea (way to the sea) And this moment although fleeting Could last on forever I will take a mental picture To keep company I will take a mental picture -solo section- Feeling it calling I’m feeling it Feeling it calling I’m feeling it (I will seize) Feeling it calling I’m feeling it (I will seize) (repeat) While the proud lie On the riverbed Like fish outta water We’ll be caught in the currents On our way to the sea And this moment although fleeting Could last on forever I will take a mental picture To keep me company I will take a mental picture To go down the river To go down the river to the sea I will take a mental picture To go down the river To go down the river to the sea We will go to To the water With our hands held Held together We will go to To the water With our hands held Held together

Nothin' 04:34
Like a ghost Gone from view Now I feel nothin’ What could be worse than losing you All of a sudden Take a moment just to settle down (oh wont you take a moment) I’ll take a moment just to settle down (I’ll take a moment) I set out without your name (I’m gonna be famous) Hoping it would all stay this way Hopin it would all Hoping it would all stay Hoping it would all Hoping it would all stay I took a loan out on you Now I owe nothin’ (Nothin’ I owe nothin’ to you) Paid in full all my dues Doing mostly nothin’, nothin’ oh Take a moment just to settle down Why am I up in arms I’m always fighting Take a moment just to settle down And write myself a note On it say sorry Take a moment just to settle down Why are we up in arms we’re always fighting Take a moment just to settle down And write ourselves a note On it say sorry Ohh.. I’m sorry Ohh.. You got the better of me Ohh.. I’m sorry Ohh.. Oh no oh no Now I have to take a little time For this feeling to rise up To the surface I set out without your name I was looking for a little bit of fame (i’m gonna be famous) Searching for a new change of pace Praying for the blessed rain Now it all starts to change, yeah It all starts to change Yes it all (Yes it all) Yes it all (Yes it all) It all starts to change Yes it all (Yes it all) Yes it all (Yes it all) It all starts to change Yes it all (Yes it all) Yes it all (Yes it all) It all starts to change Yes it all (Yes it all) Yes it all (Yes it all) It all starts to change I’m coming from the Heartland Praying that you could understand I’m coming from the Heartland, ohh

Celebrate 03:32
These are the lonely times We walk around Our heads down in our phones We’re checking out And we’re checking in Posting photos with fake grins Caption reads ‘oh what a night’ To celebrate love with me, love with me here Celebrate love with me, my dears C’mon celebrate love with me, this year Celebrate love with me, love with me here These are the broken days We’re taking sides and building walls Spending money on bombs Instead of to heal or to educate I look for Northern Lights Lead me back to your side Where you lift me up with your beautiful soul Lord it’s no longer a lonely man’s song Lord it’s no longer a lonely man’s song Won’t you celebrate love with me, right here Celebrate love with me, my dears Celebrate love with me, this year Celebrate love with, love with me here -vital organ solo- Won’t you celebrate love with me, right here Celebrate love with me, my dears Celebrate love with me, this year Celebrate love with, love with me here ( repeat Oh we’ll celebrate, celebrate all that we are We will celebrate love Oh we’ll celebrate, celebrate all that we are We will celebrate love (repeat) Instead of tearing you down We’ll be building you up! Celebrate love
