Back at the Start There’s a wind racing through the depths of your soul Tearing away the debris so old, And you can’t understand your identity has blown away Moving through the night you sleep all alone, Memories like stitches, in dreams they are sewn, Clothes so worn, underneath you are naked and cold Though the walls are made of stone, there’s a fire inside, We gather round the flames like the bugs to the light, Its comforting to know that we’re out of the cold tonight Tonight, so where to begin? We’ll cry, sharing meaning, And if it comes from the heart, We’ll be back at the start again Song-lines we walk leading us home, Tracks undefined but they’re feeding our souls, Hoping to find, a grace that is kind and free Tonight, so where to begin? We cry, sharing meaning, And if it comes from the heart, We’ll be back at the start again BREAKDOWN Though the walls are made of stone, there’s a fire inside, We gather round the flames like the bugs to the light, Its comforting to know that we’re out of the cold tonight Tonight, so where to begin So cry, and share the meaning And we’ll die, and come back again If it comes from the heart, We’ll be back at the start again

Burnished Gold Capo on 2rd Fret Am Em (6 /8) Chorus Am Em Dm Am Em Burnished gold, burnished gold eyes like fire, marking my soul Verse Rhythm (4/4) Am F C There’s an echo in the canyon, from a time long ago, G Am Em Down by the river, where the old stories flowed, Plants were the medicine, and the animals know, Signs like a roadmap always showing where to go Chorus (6/8) Am Em Dm Am Em Burnished gold, burnished gold eyes like fire, marking my soul Am F C G Am Em Burnished gold, burnished gold, runs through the valleys, carries me home, burnished gold Instrumental 2 x Am Em Dm Am Em Verse Rhythm (4/4) Am F C She sits by the water, her raven hair flows, G Am Em He sits down beside her with his feathers and his bow, They ride on the wild horse, across prairies they roam, Seduced by a great spirit, A connection that grows A connection that grows Am Em Dm Am Em Burnished gold, burnished gold eyes like fire, marking my soul Am F C G Am Em Burnished gold, burnished gold, runs through the valleys, carries me home, burnished gold Am Em burnished gold END: Am F C

A Horse Called Freedom Now I’m a warrior With a painted ¬¬¬¬¬ truth, But it won’t save me, if I can’t find you, I see a black cockatoo cross the sky, I’m going to move my camp, up a little higher If there’s a horse called freedom out there, I will hear you call my name A horse called freedom out there We will ride away I taste the goodness in the water, And feel the warmth from the fire, My feet touch the earth, the earth touches me,I will retire. If there’s a horse called freedom out there, I will hear you call my name, A horse called freedom out there We will ride away Over the hills, to the valley of kings, We will ride away

Good feelings Oh murky waters, you’re blocking my vision, Looking through shadows and I’m wishing, The scars of the past, won’t be my resistance, I’ll sharpen my wills blade and kill these old conditions Flawed beliefs I carry, are now cast on the fire, They burn like the sun, lifting me higher, Way up in the clouds, there can be no limitations, Cutting the chords that bind, it’s a revelation Good feelings will guide us to a home When everything old has moved along Good feelings will guide us to a home So you’re out of the gutter, warm meals on the table, So many are helping if you’re willing and able, There’s a sign on the wall, & its starting to crumble, Foundations are shaking, get out of the rubble Good feelings will guide us to a home When everything old has moved along Good feelings will guide us to a home Sometimes you know you just got to feel this space alone, Out here in the wilderness it’s so strong, Temptation she follows behind, lurks in your shadow So seek the devils embrace before you can let her go Good feelings will guide us to a home When everything old has moved along Good feelings will guide us to a home Dark clouds parting, blue sky in front of me Arms wide open know, you know that you’re free You’re free.

Firebird 03:09
FIREBIRD Hear me, help me, heal me cause I’m hurting, and I don’t want to feel this way. Firebird, everything’s changing, just like you said that it would, Firebird, I hope that I will see you again These places, your taking me, out from the dark sea, In this dreaming, we’re sailing free Firebird, everything’s changing, just like you said that it would, Firebird, I hope that I will see you again I think it’s the time, I’m ready, a little unsteady for the climb I hope that I will see you again, I hope that I will see you, I know that I will see you again…. Firebird, everything’s changing, just like you said that it would, Firebird, I hope that I will see you again Firebird, up the hills, lighting the darkest of worlds, Firebird, I know that I will see you again

SO WE CAN SEE Dreams can be made and dreams can be held But they shatter like anything else, When the pressure builds, we crack like thunder Moving along like trains in the night, With rattles and aches and there’s splinters of light, Nowhere to go, cause we’re already here So now where do we go, where do we go when we don’t really know Light candle so you can show me Swimming along in these oceans of time, Coming up for breath please bring me some wine, Play me a song, play me some life So now where do we go, where do we go when we don’t really know Light candle so you can show me Oh now we can be free, up with the stars and their chemistry, Strip us of the dark so we can see Where do we go, where do we go when we don’t really know Strip us of the dark so we can see Light candle so you can show me You can show me

In The End 04:02
In the End Walking down the road, it’s been a long time since I left home, warm breeze kissing my forehead, Left the phone back at the station So much time for contemplation Under this tree, I’ll make my bed Sick and tired of a screen generation, Facebook’s fading, there’s a new way of relating, Taking it slow, got no place left to go Only have to find ourselves, in the end Further down the road, There’s a river made for swimming, It wraps itself around me like a friend, Somewhere back at that station, I cant hear the phone’s still ringing, But I don’t care my soul is singing, till the end We’re taking it slow, got no place left to go Only have to find ourselves in the end Under this tree is a fine place for me, Going to rest my weary head We’re taking it slow, got no place left to go Only have to find ourselves in the end We have to be wild heart, Like we were back at the start We’re taking it slow, got no place left to go Only have to find ourselves in the end Under this tree is a fine place for me, Going to rest my weary head We’re taking it slow, got no place left to go Only have to find ourselves in the end In the end
