Lullaby for Friends

Goin down somewhere
we didn't mean to go
I know you want to
I know you want to know
Where we're going to be
or where we're coming from
but hey maybe
these things aren't ours to know.
I'm going to take your hand and say
Maybe you and me should go and play
with something we used to know
Cause maybe life is just a game
and maybe we are all the same
deep down
deep down in something
something in our skin or bones.

I want to go somewhere with you
I don't know where we're goin to
I want to go somewhere I've never been
Do you want to be my friend?
/
Yes I'll be your friend
(be my friend)
There's hot tea for...??
Buzzin round the door
She's been there before
Cat Stevens, my favorite record for sure
Tea for the ??
I'll be your friend
(you'll be my friend)

(knocks)
Come in
Friend
(Friend)

Keep it keep it keep it keep it low like that
Oooh

Oh oh oh

If I had to choose
I'd choose you every time
There's no reason or rhyme
But you make time feel like flying
And people can say
what they want of the same things
And people can make
all the same changes
They call them choices
Where you change your mind
a thousand times
But I can't understand this
anymore.

In the place where things come true
I can see you
like a rainbow meets the sky
I am holding you like a butterfly / lullaby
And all I wanted to be true
when I was small
And all the light in your hair
is sparkling for all the world
(to me)
And I know I'm getting things wrong
somehow
like signing off and on
And still you hold me like a song
that I'm always getting wrong
And we're all flying down from the sky
And you see with eyes that you've been given
Not the ones you wanted to light
by writing a thousand songs and
singing them all this time
still I don't feel the kind of thing that I am seeking
so I've learned
learned to fly
like a pegasus or pony
do unicorns have wings?
well I guess they don't
and all the things I've gotten wrong
like this song I'm trying for you
Do you know that it's all always coming true?
Growing over and under at the same time
Floating over and under at the same time
And I'm like a bird that wants to fly away with you
But away from you and to you
I don't know which way to choose...
*FYI this song was written from a crowdsourced collection of lyric/topic suggestions*

where are you going
when you're alone
when you're at home
in your skin
and people around you
make you feel different
than when you're alone
all of the color
all of the light
it ripples around you
night after night
it's bright like an ocean
and soft like a song
you wanted around you
and i'm not going to be around
much longer
will you find another way
to stay calm
another way
to smile
when i'm gone?
will you find all this light
in your own ways
will you try
try to find it all?
ooh
you are made of color and light
you are made to be a light to anyone but you

I like to be with you in the car
I like to be with you wherever you are
We like to go to places that aren't far
Where we go, you know I love it where you are
Da da da da
Da da di da
Why do you want to go anywhere but where we're going?
Why would you want to go anywhere but where we're going?
Cause I'll go anywhere with you
Anywhere with you
Anywhere with you
Anywhere with you

Hold onto the little things
that you might lose
And take care of the quiet words
that you don't use
And hold back the tears
or use them to make you stronger
Just hold back the tears
cause nothing is all that wrong now
If you just hold back the fears
and fill up your mind with words
that make you feel
strong.
(accidental interlude)
Just hold back the tears
or let them just move right through you
Just hold back the fears
and let yourself learn something new
If you just hold back the fears
or give them away to something
that makes you feel
small.

Grow - (w/ Bryan Ralph)
03:07
|
|||
|
When you want to see the world through new eyes
When you want to grow in ways that are not a surprise
And you can see all the colors you were made to be
When you wake up from this dream we are living in
When you see all the pain that surrounds us and you want to go back into your room / womb
And all this color is too bright
And maybe you're just trying things on for size
And maybe you
should
should do somethin new
should
should do somethin new
something different than you've been doing
something different than you've done
|

You and I have been together for so long now
It is time to remember all the ways you can grow now
I want you to fly like a bird
In the sky
In your mind
Where you know you'll be heard
Cause you and I have been friends
since the dawn of time
And it's time
to fly
It's time
to fly
da da da da
ooh ooh
da da da da

Something in my skin is waking up
To the place where we begin making up
All the beauty in the world breaking up
like a bad connection
Something on your face lets me know
I don't need to change the world just to grow
I'm a tiny little seed, don't you know?
That won't change in bloom
And you
take me in your vision
And I'll
take what I am given
And I'll
write it down for you
Something in the world speaks your name
Like a tiny little moth to a flame
I am brighter than I will be again
That's because of you
And you
take me in your vision
And I'll
take what I am given
And I'll
write it down for you

Wonder - (w/ Tom Hymn)
02:53
|

Wonder in this world
I know there is
I know there is
Wonder in this world
I know there is
I know there is
Beauty in your face
and in your skin
and in your hair
and in your eyes
and in your voice
and in the way you
do not care about
anything I thought I needed
and all the ways I thought I'd be afraid
I am now just learning to be
stronger than I've ever been before.

People everywhere in my mind
in my skin
in my energy
they're living inside me
like birds or butterflies
they're made of light
And I can see these colors in my mind
in my eyes
in my time
like a fiction I didn't write
and didn't want at all
And taking a cue from you
is all I can do
Time makes you blind to all the things you knew as a child
when you were born
before you were born
before you were made to fit the mold
made from other molds
what's the first mold?
well I don't know.
And all this light like fiction makes me blind
And all this time like wisdom leaves you unkind
(I don't want to be unkind)
(cause I believe that's the whole point...
and they're waiting for us to decide to stop
missing the point)

Where you goin?
I don't know that I want to find out the way
Where you goin?
I don't know if your way is a way I can understand
cause it feels like the answers just fall into your hands.
And it's okay
I'm not trying to complain
I'm just stating the name for all the ways I've been
winding around
like a ...
ay ay
ah ah
da da da

There is only this moment here right now
There is only this time and this place
And I've found out I'm not in a race at all
are you?
There is only one time one space
You gotta figure out where you belong
and everything is a song
and I am not scared like before
Cause all the ways I've felt outside
are like lies that rooted in my mind
and you never kept me out at all
at all
There is only one light
and it's burning brightly like a flame or a planet
we want to know
And all the ways I'm not what I wanted to be
are lies I keep telling myself
and I'm perfectly fine where I am
and I'm going to sit still
until all this light in my veins
fills up the whole world
And know that that includes you
Just know that includes you
<3

In your mind
You will find
Something you need to know
Way in there
Like a bear
It's waiting for you to grow
|
||||
18. |
||||
|
Picture a place in your mind
where everything you've ever wanted to find
is in there
it's always been in there
It may seem like
like a lie
like a fantasy
but I can swear on my life
everything is going to be alright
if you can find a way inside
a way inside this place
a way into
a way to get in the mood
cause it can take you in
and it won't let you go
and it won't let you go
you'll be so glad you found it
and i know you are scared
to be inside this hole
in your mind
but i know you will find what you're looking for
and maybe we'll be saved
or maybe we'll be bored
or maybe we'll be late
and almost getting too old
and maybe we'll be scared
until the day we go
and i may let you go
but i know that you can find your way
in this hole

if you wanna be
if you wanna be
my savior
my savior
if you wanna be
my friend
be my savior
from saviors
cause time is moving and
life is ticking onward
like little puddles collecting in a jar
and i can't hold this in me
i can't hold on much longer
and where you are
and where you are
is far enough away
to seem like mountains
cannot be climbed
cannot be scaled
but if i hold you in my mind
i hold you like a puzzle
that i couldn't put together
and you are with me
even when you're going
somewhere new
and you are with me
and i know i'm with you too
and everything works out
the way you wanted it to
Do you want to be my friend
if all that means is
friendship
not some
great spaceship
to the sky in your mind.
