lyrics from ep: strange world (2016)
1 - it was me
I saw her standing outside my first apartment
she seemed so familiar but I could not place her
the color of her hair and the shape of her eyes
I think she might be me from another time
It was me
staring back through the years
It was me
I know it I know it was me
Then I saw her down by Lake Riley with her Shepherd pup
they played together splashing in the water’s edge
they were in their own world - like a family of two
then I saw myself and remembered that open heart
It was me
staring back through the years
It was me
I know it I know it was me
Then I saw an older woman walking with her friend
recognized that laugh like a tune from my childhood
and knew I’d be alright
knew I’d be ok
knew I’d be alright
and live another day
‘cause It was me
staring back through the years
It was me
I know it I know it was me
It was me it was me
looking back through the years
It was me from another time It was me
2 - MY OWN TUNE
I’m waitin’ on a Sunday
not lookin’ for a Monday
hope it’s coming soon
I’m headed down the highway
gonna do it my way
finding my own tune
Do do do do do do do
Do do do do do do
Do do do do do…….
Do do do do do do do
Do do do do do do
Do do do do do…….
I’m looking for adventure
tryin’ to find the center
hope the way is clear
Life isn’t meant to measure
alleviate the pressure
shakin’ off the fear
Sometimes we have too much to say
when a simple word will communicate
Do do do do do do do
Do do do do do do
Do do do do do…….
Do do do do do do do
Do do do do do do
Do do do do do…….
I’ve got something here to say
a thought I must convey
want to say it loud
I’m gonna find the words now
speak them to you somehow
feeling rather proud
Do do do do do do do
Do do do do do do
Do do do do do…….
Do do do do do do do
Do do do do do do
Do do do do do…….
3 - 8 MINUTES
In just 8 minutes we will see the light from the sun
In just minutes your world can be undone
In just 8 minutes a story can be told
In just minutes a new life is born
Some things happen fast
in the blink of an eye
Others move slow
so we have time to cry
In just 8 minutes the river, it may flood
In just minutes your destiny will come
In 8 minutes ocean tide can turn
In just minutes a memory will burn
Some things happen fast
in the blink of an eye
Others move slow
so we have time to cry
Most things happen
at an ordinary pace
So we keep track of time
and don’t lose our place
In just 8 minutes a bird can learn to fly
In just 8 minutes you can tell a lie
In just 8 minutes a wound can start to heal
In just minutes love can be revealed
Some things happen fast
in the blink of an eye
Others move slow
so we have time to cry
Most things happen
at an ordinary pace
So we keep track of time
and don’t lose our place
So we keep track of time
and don’t lose our place
4 - MR. DARWIN
Mr. Darwin
what’s up with this life?
Oh Darwin
will we learn to survive?
Mr. Darwin
do we need a will to live?
Oh Darwin
what do we have to give?
We seem to be stuck
in an undeveloped stage
Kind of like some teens
who haven’t found their place
Mr Darwin
Mr Darwin
will we be the fittest here?
Oh Darwin
have we grown too much fear? ------
Mr Darwin
can we reach a better phase?
will we turn another page?
The giraffe has grown his neck
and the bird has found his song
What do we all need
to finally move along?
Mr Darwin
Mr. Darwin
can we gain another sense?
Oh Darwin
might be our last defense…
5 - I THINK I SAW GOD
I think I saw God
through a telescope
With an eye made by man
think I saw hope
I think I saw life
floating out in space
Made me feel calm
made me feel safe
There’s a rumor goin’ ‘round
that heaven’s in the sky
Might be some truth
where there’s smoke there’s fire
I think I saw God
fall through the air
In the guise of a snow
landing in my hair
Who else has the time
to make so much art
No two are the same
- since the very start
There’s a rumor goin’ ‘round
that heaven’s in the sky
Might be some truth
where there’s smoke there’s fire
I think I saw God
from the window of a plane
In a gorgeous cloud
that sent down some rain
But when we got above
there was the sun
Makin’ stuff like that
- sounds like some fun
There’s a rumor goin’ ‘round
that heaven’s in the sky
There’s a rumor goin’ ‘round
that heaven’s in the sky
There’s a rumor goin’ ‘round
There’s a rumor
6 - STRANGE WORLD
I’m so happy that I’m cryin’
so bored can’t do a thing
I’m so healthy that I’m dyin’
so sharp can’t see a thing
I’m so tired can’t go to sleep
so wired can’t stay awake
I’m so lost……know where I am
This is a strange world
where life is like a dream
This is a wild world
where things aren’t what they seem
In a crowd I feel all alone
I’m so smart don’t know a thing
So popular I’m by myself
so poor have everything
So sad I’m always laughing
so loving hate this world
I’m so old….born yesterday
This is a strange world
where life is like a dream
This is a wild world
where things aren’t what they seem
At times I have to wonder
why we’re really here
Why do we feel this way
will it become clear
This is a strange world
where life is like a dream
This is a wild world
where things aren’t what they seem
This is a strange world
where life is like a dream
This is a wild world
where things aren’t what they seem
In this world how we feel
matters more than what is real
