It's Like Rain 03:39
lyrics

LYRICS - LIKE RAIN How does a baby really ever get born? It’s a miracle a when a soldier – comes back from war Somebody found who was lost at sea Something as simple as a new grown leaf It will lift you up – and make you whole Like rain it’s falling, shower blessings on us all It’ll make you strong, comfort your soul Like rain it’s falling, shower blessings on us all It’s not a free ride, but you get what you need Somehow this body just knows how to breathe 
 The color of a sunset, the wonder of a snow How you ever recover from losing someone? Somehow you keep going when the going gets rough 
you - think it’s not even possible - and then you’re falling in love The hug of another, a look in the eye 
A touch of emotion; how a tear knows when to cry To feel what it’s like to move in this skin
 The body responds; a friend lets you in
 The current washes over, pulls you down the road A cut knows to heal; a smile never get old
. Like rain, like rain, rain... It will lift you up – and make you whole Like rain it’s falling, shower blessings on us all It’ll make you strong, comfort your soul Like rain it’s falling, shower blessings on us all Grace is raining down, showering blessings on us all

Om Tare Tuttare, Ture, Swaha 
Never will a lover’s chest feel any sorrow.... 
Om Tare Tuttare, Ture, Swaha We’re never gonna survive - unless Show me that hidden world 'cause I don't believe in this one any longer

Magic of Love 03:18
lyrics

I'm feeling all the beauty after meeting this little cutie and I marvel at the wonders of love What could make you feel this way? Like you co-create the light of day it can only be the magic of love Must be the magic of love You'll see it in the smallest things like a blade of grass or a robin's wing it's all beautiful and beauty is love Springtime, find a rhyme I'm gonna do it right this time how could this ever be a fleeting thing? Must be the magic of love Give this day all you got cause tomorrow may come and not be a lot if one thing is constant, it's change But don't try to hold it, can't you see? There'll always be enough for you and me that really is the magic of love Stay open, stay open, stay open, stay open, Open to the Magic of love It's all right to me it's all light to me this magic of love

LOVELUTION - Jim Beckwith 2011 What we don't need now is the why ask why But what do we need to occupy? What to do? What's the solution? Might we really need another revolution? No president will ever change the system PEOPLE want some power and you WANT TO be with 'em I heard the good words of Gil Scott Heron the people are resisting, and their clothes are tearing What does it take to rearrange, What's it like to really change? I ask it every day of my own damn self and I see my reflection in the bloody hell What to do? What's the solution? we got to start a Lovelution start with yourself to occupy we've got to learn to tame our - own damn minds * I see a lovelution coming on I'd love it to be easy but I think I might be wrong. it's probably getting worse before it gets better but if it's gonna happen it must be - better than never Well Come on Now, if you want a solution You're gonna have to Join the Lovelution! And if you do, you're gonna see a BET-TER world for - you AND me I WISH someday we'd JUST F*in' get it!! why we got to be so telepathetic? I could see it come a thousand miles away how about we open EYES and see it - and say... I see a lovelution coming on I'd love it to be easy but I might be wrong. it's probably getting worse before it gets better but if it's gonna happen it must be - better than never Well Come on Now, if you want a solution You're gonna have to Join the Lovelution! And if you do, well you're gonna see a BET-TER world for - you AND me I see a lovelution coming on We'll learn to be together in the radical zone! the world's become our living room and we need to learn to LOVE our family - real soon. I see a lovelution coming on I'd love it to be easy but I might be wrong. it's probably getting worse before it gets better but if it's gonna happen it must be -- better than never I see a lovelution coming on I'd love it to be easy but I - might be wrong.

Follow You Down 05:24
lyrics
buy track
Follow you down to the red oak tree As the air moves thick through the hollow reeds Will you wait for me there until someone comes To carry me, carry me down See I have not, I have not grown cold I have stole from men who have stole from those With their arms so thin and their skin so old But you are young, you are young, you are young Then somebody laughs like it's all just for hell As though we could not be saved from the depth of the well But the cloth that I make is a cloth you can sell To pay for the gossamer seeds Names get carved in the red oak tree Of the ones who stay and the ones who leave I will wait for you there with these cindered bones So follow me, follow me down Follow me, follow me down Follow me, follow me down Follow me, follow me down
