1. WE CAN ALL KNOW EVERYTHING
David Pomoranz
It's
in everyone of us, to be wise.
Find
your heart, open up both your eyes.
We
can all know everything ...
without ever knowing why.
It's
in every one of us ... by and by.
It's
in everyone of us!
I've
just remembered.
It's
like I've been sleeping for years.
I'm
not awake as I can be ... but my seeing's better.
I
can see ... through the tears.
I've
been realizing that I bought this ticket
and watching only half of the show.
But
there is scenery and lights
and a cast of thousands
Who
all know - what I know -
and it's good - that it's so.
It's
in every one of us, to be wise.
Find
your heart, open up both your eyes.
We
can all know everything ...
without ever knowing why.
It's
in everyone of us ... by and by.
It's
in every one of us, by and by.

ALL MY LIFE IS A CIRCLE
All
my life is a circle
sunrise and sundown.
The
moon rolls through the night time
till the daybreak comes around.
All
my life is a circle
but I can't tell you why.
Seasons
spinning round again
the years keep rolling by.
(1)
It seems like I've been here
before.
I can't remember when.
I've
got this funny feeling
that we'll all be together again.
There's
no straight lines make up my life
and all the roads have bends.
There's
no clear cut beginnings
and so far till the ends.
(2)
I've found you a thousand times.
I guess you've done the same.
But
then we loose each other.
It's just like a children's game.
As
I find you here again,
the thought runs through my mind, Our love is like a
circle
let's go round one more time.

Wishita, doo ya, doo ya ah
Wishita, doo ya, doo ya, doo ya
Wishita, doo ya, doo ya ah
Washa ta nay ya, nay ya, nay ya
Washa to nay ya, nay ya, hah
Hoyt Axton
Way
before the time of towns,
when men were wild and life was free;
My
father's father, great grandfather,
whose ancestors did see
the morning star, the rainbow sign;
early morn for all mankind.
The
God of life and growing things,
the rising sun and me.
Way
before the time of towns
when men carved tales
on great stone drums.
My
father's father, great grandfather,
whose ancestors did sing
about the wild beast they did fight;
The
ones that came to kill at night
and how the early morning light
the rising sun did bring.
It
was way before the time of towns
when women danced
and men looked down
and gazed at them with open eyes
and what they saw was fair.
They
laughed at how the children looked
bathing in a forest brook
and they were proud
and they were kings
And
Love was everywhere.
and they were kings
And
Love was everywhere.
