Ravens

Verse 1:
We’re playing tag with wolves
just north of the desert
And though they may call us fools
They’re missing out
Our talons shall be locked
our swords will parry
our fables have a tongue
that we shout
Chorus:
Movin' like a raven passing through
Taking some time and talking to few
Keeping strength and wisdom in stride
Catching up, keeping up, passing everyone
And even when they’re got spunk and youth
We’ve got fire and won’t take no abuse
First with honor and full of pride
Catching up, keeping up, passing everyone
Verse 2:
Most people haven’t played the blues
Most people haven’t felt it
And with every second they lose
these moments they’re forgotten'
For every King that passes away (Stop)
there’s a new one rising
in a world on some other plane
in another horizon

Ocean Blue

Verse 1:
There's a bright full moon
Laying in the sky
So I'm lying down
Just to watch it all night,
Just to watch it all night
If you've ever known
How much you've never seen
I'm not sure how you can
Do anything but dream
Do anything but dream
Chorus:
And you told me where you'd been
Such a glorious escape from what we knew
You spent the last year traveling
From the mountains to the shores of ocean blue
I just wish I had been there too
Verse 2:
So we'll leave our home,
Travel far and wide
Stay at cheap hotels
Maybe go see Versailles
Or spend our time in Shanghai
We can try our luck
Backpacking for days
getting from town to town
We could make it such a ways
We could make it such a ways
Bridge:
And you told me where you'd been
I've never known of stories better than you told
Of the worlds you've travelled in
when we both go there I'll never be alone
So many places to call home
So many places to call home- oh it's
So strangely irresistible
It's like I've never dreamed so vividly before
About the places I could go

Cold Water

Verse 1:
I fell in cold water
before I learned to swim
until strong hands pulled me out
Mmmmmmmm
Some years later I went by a river
though I refused to go in
I watched friends swim out like otters
Mmmmmmmm
Chorus:
And my family carried me through heartache
And my faith had carried me past sin
And though I’d lived through such a great depression
I still hadn’t learned to swim
Mmmmmmm
Verse 2:
Found a man who could teach me how
though I was nervous as could be
When we went down by the water
He held my head above the sea
Years later I found his address
And traveled to my hometown
I had again fell in the water
Only I had no chance to drown

Bringing the Heat

Verse 1:
This may play against the trends
But I’m not afraid to get older
It takes time to play the game
And it takes time to become bolder
In the meantime you got things
friends and music and tv
that keep you thinking on your feet
and they’re all fine with me
Bridge:
Ohh, our generation, we aren’t playing
we’re just making sense of this mess
things have been changing, so let’s
sit down, think straight, deal with what’s next, eh?
Chorus:
There’s a nice wave going, all I know is that I’m stayin’ on the beat.
yeah, that’s all that matter to me
If the swell keeps growin’, I suppose that I’ll keep on flowing,
yeah, and I’ll keep on bringing the heat
Verse 2:
I’ve done my schoolwork and survived
And kept my debt down best I could
I kept moving to stay alive
So I can change when it comes time
And every thought that’s crossed my mind
Is only there to make me stronger
And every action that I take
Will keep me going that much longer
