Track Name: Children of the Sun
The time has come for us to be together
'Cause we've spent so many years apart
War and poverty
Different ideologies
They only separate us
But we're all one universal consciousness

And when are we gonna' see
The only difference between you and me
Is the image of ourselves
And the things that we believe

'Cause we're all children of the Sun
and together we are one
So love yourself by loving me
so we can live in harmony
And it's love that is our bond
And it's love that carries on
Carries us into the future generations

I look around in the world today and I see a lot of separation
Polarized by the lies that we believe
So take a stand for yourself and each other
It's up to you and me to love our fellow man

And when are we gonna' see
that the only difference between you and me
is the image of ourselves and the things that we believe

'Cause we're all children of the Sun and together we are one
So love yourself by loving me so we can live in harmony
And it's love that is our bond and it's love that carries on
Carries us into the future generations
Track Name: Troubled Mind
Walking through my life each day can be so damn confusing
I lose myself and find my way inside this great illusion

Tumbling through it all
Tumbling through it all

I walk between heaven and hell with the sun and moon to guide me
And throw myself down a well where dreams and wishes bind me

Tumbling through it all
Tumbling through it all

Oh make me like a tree
rooted in the dirt
and take my wings away
ground me in my hurt
and hold me
keep me still
fill me with your sweet sunshine
and shake me
free me from this troubled mind

Driven by my thin desire to rule my world alone
I will trudge through love and fire to sit upon my throne

Tumbling through it all
Tumbling through it all

Oh make me like a tree
Rooted in the dirt
And take my wings away
Ground me in my hurt
And hold me
Keep me still
Feed me with your sweet sunshine
And shake me
Free me from this troubled mind
Track Name: Tears Inside the Bottle
My life passed me bye
In the blink of an eye
Now I'm serving time
My selfish pride my only crime
And on toes I stepped
On floors I slept
Broken promises was all that I kept

And although I tried
the pain I could not swallow
Tears I cried
I hid inside the bottle

I turned my back on God
went my own selfish way
For so many years
To the toilet I did pray
What a sight to see
A king all alone in his misery

And although I tried
The pain I could not swallow
Tears I cried
I hid inside the bottle
Track Name: Deanna
He was out in the garage when she cried his name aloud
William hurried in to find his wife lying on the ground
When the ambulance arrived she was already gone
Taken by the crow from the darkness to the dawn

And now he spends his nights talking to her pictures on the wall
Waiting by the phone for St. Gabriel to call
Smelling her perfume
Dancing to their favorite song
Kissing honey lips
Holding her in his arms

And all he feels and all he sees is just a faded memory
Deanna, Deanna
And on the wind and on the breeze and everywhere he looks he sees
Deanna, Deanna

Now Friday William goes to the matinee all alone
He always buys two tickets for his heart and his soul
He shares his popcorn with the strangers in his row
But no one really cares for an old man that they don't know

And now he spends his nights talking to her pictures on the wall
Waiting by the phone for St. Gabriel to call
Smelling her perfume
Dancing to their favorite song
Kissing honey lips
Holding her in his arms

And all he feels and all he sees is just a faded memory
Deanna, Deanna
And on the wind and on the breeze and everywhere he looks he sees
Deanna, Deanna
Track Name: Wasted Land
Well I am a dragon man
I make flames with my hands
I never need my fire stoked
'Cause I've got lungs filled with smoke
I've got a hobbit in my den
I've got goblins for friends
I've got a cozy lair up inside a mountain
With a maiden fair and a lava fountain
Got pools of gold that shine and flash
I smoke the fools that try to steal my stash
I've got everything a dragon needs
But there's an emptiness in my heart
And the world that I'm living in is starting to fall apart
'Cause the joint I smoked just an hour ago is starting to wear off
And it suddenly occurs to me I'm in my underwear
All alone inside my loft

Another wasted day
Another wasted night
I'm gonna' waste away
In this wasted life

So come away with me
Where the skies are always blue
To a magic place
Where all your dreams will come true
Where children sing and dragons play
And all your problems fade away
Oh, to wasted land

Well I am a dragon man
I've got a castle made of sand
On the coast of an endless sea
On the edge of eternity
I've got a wizard in my tower
Got a crystal ball made of power
Got a magic mirror in side my all
She always tells me I'm beautiful
I spend my days with the clouds in the sky
Only coming down when I lose my high
When everything around starts to fade away
It's time to smoke me another jay
