Mother Nature's Song

Come to me, darling
I'll sing you a tune
So sweet and true
It's all for you
I'll sing to the moon
The stars will fall for us
The sky will partake
In the beauty of rain
And you'll come sit with me
In a forest of trees
Let the rain wash away
All the troubles you will face
And I'll sing to the birds
And the fish and the worms
I'll join in the joy
Of perfect harmony
You'll forget about all of the
Troubles you've felt
When you join in the joy
Of Mother Nature's song

Solitude
Solitude
Please forgive my many advances
And fewer discretions toward you
Solitude
Oh solitude
I know you would never say no
If I would ask a favor or two
From you
Solitude
Solitude
Yes, solitude
I hope I'm not asking too much
Can I grow closer to you?
I love you
Solitude
You never ask me any favors
But I always get them from you
I love you
Solitude

People's Blues

You say things I easily could have guessed
And you guess that you're not like all the rest
You say "I love you my baby the best"
But guess what, he means just like the rest
And you say your pains get worse and worse with time
But the problems you feel are just as mine
You feel life slip, you feel it as you fall
And you'll rot away with nothing left at all
You're not what your parents would have seen
A doctor nor a lawyer will you be
A circus act instead, and you will be
The greatest one to ever have been seen
And you say things you know you didn't mean
Being in control is never as it seems
Death it seems, is not known til you're there
This life we lead can sometimes be unfair
And sometimes I stand alone and I cry
This life I know will someday pass me by
You pray hard, but nothing seems to work
The meaning now is nothing but with dirt

The Rightest of Ways
03:28

Night dies
The moonrise
Will be with us again
I swear to you
In a funny sort of way
I'll never learn to pray
In the rightest of ways
Like you seem to do
Like you seem to do
Yes, you do
How can I pray
To a god who forsakes
A god who forgives
A god who kills?
How can I say
That I never will stray
From the Great God above
How can I say?
But the birds have their faith
And the worms dig their holes
To a god in the ground
Who they know is the one
Who they know is the one
What if he is the one?
There's a cloud in the sky
That looks like the hand
Of a much higher man
That knows more than I
And I look at the trees
All over this land
And I wonder how this could be
How could this be?
If there is a god above
He sends forth his wrath
To the ones who need love the most
I don't believe in that
I don't believe in that
Don't believe in that
