1.Shelter
Lyricist:Sarah Mclachlan
Here I am this is my shelter
Here I'm at one with these trees
And all these birds sing to my rhythms
And these waves they comfort me
Do what you will, while your able
Find what it is that you seek
Only I'll fly, fly, fly above the ocean
I will fly so high above the sea
If it's shelter you're searching for
One that I cannot provide
Well, I wish you well on your journey
I hope your dreams they come alive
I hope your dreams back down and they, they thrive
Do, do, do
Do, do, do
Do, do, do
Well, I filled my cup with the answers
And I filled my cup with your lies
You topped it up with your mysteries
And all those secrets I denied
Do what you will, while you're able
Find what it is that you seek
Only I'll fly, fly, fly above the ocean
I will fly so high above the sea
If it's shelter you're searching for
The one that I cannot provide
Well, I wish you well on your journey
I hope your dreams they come alive
I hope your dreams back down and they
Well they thrive
I hope your dreams they come alive
Well, I hope your dreams back down and thrive
Yeah now
Do, do, do
Do, do, do
Do, do, do

3.Let Me Be
Oh oh, Let me be now
Hmm hmm, let me because
I want to be free now
Oh oh, free to see, yeah well
Want to walk away, oh oh

Time and time and time we see these
Acts against humanity, well,
Each for each and each will be then
Shed blood for what they each believe, well

Some will you see and, some won't be
True for you and truth will lead you
To a sense of, well now, peace

4.Solace
Farewell to the west now
And welcome, to the east
Farewell to the one who raked, the sand beneath my feet
Thank you for the space we shared, and the heart and soul my
friend
I will see you through the colours, between the mountains as the
sun decends
Oh we twisted and we reflected upon a grin
Common ground we walked upon, with common feelings & common
things
Yes it is a cruel world, but there is solace amongst the sin
Peace to you for now we'll share again, we'll share again
5.GBA
I know, i see, i feel and yes i fear it everyday
These ego's there minds and games
With all their power could end our days
Still the sun it shinesand the moon it sinks with grace
It's such a shame that all this shit exists
Here on this earth, this magical place
I'm doing fine
Yes you have the funds and size and power to make some change
What you have will break their smiles
so many people so many ways
each Child who walks their line
should be free to run their race
it's such a shame that all this shit exists here on this earth,
this magical place
I'm doing fine
6.In Transit
7.Chances
At times in life
You'll connect with some
And some will have to move on
At times you'll feel
The need to fly
And fly though you may hurt someone
You were there
Your chances were clear
Choices were made in spite
Of times that were spent
Feelings were mixed
Amongst your support base
A heart was lost
But a heart found its place
This is a recipe of life
Made up of fragments of peoples
Peace and peoples vibes
Well its each now to their own
Well your heart will know
8.Journey Song
The stone it sinks
The day is near
And i watch your feet i feel your breathe
I'm in your dreams
Seems such a long long time But i will return
You are the only spark i use
In these things I do
This is the thing I do
All these people
And all these times
And all this road I see for real
In four twenty time
There will be fourteen days
When sadness climbs
And there will be times when i feel chilled
With you on my mind
This is the thing I do
You miss me now
Well I miss you too
You see well chances are given
Only once
Now there's clouds in my heart
Clouds in my mind
You see well chances are given
Only once
Not for free
9.A 4th World
Here we are under these particular stars
Here we stand Victorian
Where the white folk can grow to know so
Very little about the black folk
The same folk who rightfully own
This piece of beauty that we call our home
Well negativity is often heard from society
With conviction they preach
Not even knowing of whom they speak
I guess it's each to their own
Those that want to will know
I guess it's each to their own
Because from the top the views are old and grey
Well I feel so ashamed
Of this system and these ways
The tiny hearts that lead our nation
And tiny minds that let them in
And I see your confusion
I see your pain
I see your pain and your confusion
And there's still some with my skin
Who still try and hide the reason

11.No Woman No Cry
No woman, no cry
No woman, no cry
No woman, no cry
No woman, no cry
And I remember when we used to sit
In a government yard in Trenchtown
Oba, oba-serving the hypocrites
As we would mingle with the good people we meet
Good friends we have and good friends we've lost along the way
In this bright future we can't forget our past
So dry your tears I say
No woman, no cry
No woman, no cry
No woman, no cry
No woman, no cry
I remember when we used to sit
In a government yard in Trenchtown
And Georgie would make fire light
Log wood burnin' through the night
And we would cook corn meal porridge of
Which I'll share with you, mmm you and you
My feet is my only carriage now
So I've got to push on through
But while I'm gone
Ev'rything's gonna be alright
Ev'rything's gonna be alright
Ev'rything's gonna be alright
Ev'rything's gonna be alright well
Ev'rything's gonna be alright
Ev'rything's gonna be alright well
Ev'rything's gonna be alright
Ev'rything's gonna be alright
No woman, no cry
No woman, no cry
No woman, no cry
12.Partnership
You had so many opportunities
So much time, so much space, so much room to breathe
And you
So much time inside when you put it aside you waste it
So much time inside when you put it aside you waste it
You see your fortune lie you can decide to wake it
So much time inside when you put it aside you waste it
And she will come and take your hand
She will help you understand
She will help you understand
And she will lead you to your peace
In times when you feel weak
In times when you are weak
And when your space it feels deranged
She will hold the key to change
She will offer the key to change
So be sure when she whispers in your ear
That she will chase away those fears
Then she will chase away those fears
On your journey be proud of what you seek
And your love for he or she
For they will help you feel complete
13.Silence
Silence beating down
Silence all around
Well I'm peaceful
At least for now
Silence beating down
Here other people they won't see me sad
And if I'm happy they won't share my happiness
For this is peacefulness that won't be shared
For it's time for the spirit
It's time unsaid
This peacefulness that won't be shared
For it's time alone
Silence beating down
Silence all around
And I'm peaceful
At least for now
Silence beating down
Here other people they won't see me sad
And if I'm happy they won't share my happiness
For this is peacefulness that won't be shared
For it's time for my spirit and me to spend
This is peacefulness that won't be shared
For it's time alone
14.Green Spandex
I guess this is the rushed goodbye
That I thought would never come
The woman who lit the light
For a family in the dark
Starring at the mirror
I see your smile through my own
Your spark embedded deep inside
Will give me strength
Will give us hope
And I'll never lose your touch
No I'll never lose touch
This will take me a while
Because I miss your smile
I guess I knew your time would come
But for now I miss your smile
It's gonna take me a while
Thank you for your loyal stance
Green spandex and crazy style
Thank you for the happiness
That you gave to our lives
Although now our hearts are cracked
And our tears are slow to dry
We must count ourselves
The lucky ones
For we were with you in your prime
And I'll never lose your touch
No I'll never lose touch
Please stay in touch
Because I need you in my heart
Please stay in touch
I need your touch
15.The 12th Of September
It's come to our attention
Life now is bound to change
While we the peaceful majority
We sit back and anticipate
These are our days now
These are not the same now
These are not the same
These human beings are dangerous
Their greed is contagious
Now the world it waits
These people they attacked our freedom
Their weapons technology and hate
Lives were stolen without warning
Brothers and sisters now erased
- Chorus -
These are our days now
These are not the same now
These are not the same
These human beings are dangerous
Their greed is contagious
Now the world it waits
- Chorus again -
