Flowers in the DMZ
04:52

Mountains on the one side
Surrounded by the sea
One land, one people
Brothers and sisters, one family
Why can't they leave us alone
Got caught in their game of stratego
Where there was one, now there are two
It happened so fast
Got caught on the other side
Didn't get to say goodbye
Years and years I cry
The divide only widens
Lions on one side, snakes on the other
But I still hold out hope
That I'll see you again
Not sure what I should do
No one is listening
Someone's got to do something
I know what I should do
I'll defy the rules
And I"ll walk, walk across the DMZ
A lifetime goes by
And nothing has changed
It's like time has stopped
All we can do is stay alive
And know that in our hearts
Maybe not in this world
But I still hold out hope
That I'll see you again
Maybe not in this world
But in the next
Cause even land mines can't stop
Flowers from growing in the DMZ

Mudita
03:31

With pearls in her hair and bright gold down her dress
Red paint on her hands and a jewel on her face
She stands on the stage head turned up to the sky
Her hands tell a story of glory and pride
They call her Mudita
Born to the same class outside looking in
We shared a connection we could not comprehend
So gentle and kind I felt safe I was free
Our laughter was endless but was not meant to be
Forever Mudita
A few short years later her smile caught their eye
They offered her power and glory and pride
A chance to climb out of the class that we're from
She started to dance to the beat of their drum
I followed at first thought it would be fun
I danced and I sang to the beat of that drum
But they never listened or cared what I felt
They left me behind with no second thought
Can I be happy living a lie
I'm not fooling anyone so why even try
If keeping my pride means I can't have you
Then I know exactly what I must do
I'm leaving you Mudita

Cosmic Mind

Taken by the basic photograph
Cartwheels can you toss and turn
I'm a victim of my pride
Gotta stop that second tide
You're the target for my passions and all I ask of you
Is time
Floating catch a magic carpet ride
Can't help shouting out aloud
She's a feast of endless lies
Carries on in perfect rhyme
Wanna gag with fifty secrets and everybody tastes
Like wine
Cosmic mind
Won't you be my temper tantrum I'm only
Half in line
The other part of me is leaning low
Cosmic mind
Doing fine but there's no reason I'm only
Half in line
The other part of me won't go
Enter two dimensions higher
Crave me simple makeshift crimes
It's a cancer in my mind
Hurry up and drop that line
It's a million frantic marches and all I ask of you
Is time
