Miracle 04:09
The land of a million islands The ocean of endless eyes The air of abundant energy The planet of boundless life Some think it has always been here Some call it a miracle Some think it appeared out of nowhere How will we ever know How will we ever know How will we ever know How will we ever know How will we ever know Some think will always be here Some think it’ll end for sure Some think that it’s going nowhere How will we ever know…

I’m tired of only seeing you in my dreams And talking through computer screens It ain’t gonna cut it No more wondering what you’re doing now thinking about whether or not Are you thinking about me cause I've been thinking a lot about you baby I’m ready for loving Ooooh I – been spending a lot of time Being stuck in my mind – thinkin bout the way things should be Ooooh I – I’m gonna stop the illusion I’m the cut the confusion – baby listen to me… I’m ready for the real thing The real thing I’m ready for the real thing The real thing Beauty queens in movie scenes in magazines Don't really mean that much to me I'm trying to tell you You've got something genuine And they can't wear the skin you're in, baby You've got the real thing We’ve been together now three months or so But I fell in love with you like three years ago It must have been your energy it must have been your glow I knew that you would be la reina de me corizon Que fuerte bonita te quiero mamasita I wanna tell it to ya every second that I see ya I wanna scream it from the top of machu pichu Peel you like a banana and eat you (chorus chords) I need you my sweet tooth has a cavity And every time you’re gone I feel a lack of gravity We go together so mathamagically Imagine all the different places that we’re gonna see together Gonna be together, climb trees together, even eat together But not of the same loaf – we both gotta focus on ourselves But you know I’ll be there for you anytime you need help… Ooooh I – been spending a lot of time Being stuck in my mind – thinkin bout the way things should be Ooooh I – I’m gonna stop the illusion I’m the cut the confusion – baby listen to me… I’m ready for the real thing The real thing I’m ready for the real thing The real thing...

Simple City 05:11
Everyday I find myself in a struggle Living in a modernized bubble I try to get along, try to stay out of trouble But it’s hard when I’m living in a concrete jungle And when I go to the grocery store It’s hard for me to find what I’m looking for They don’t care about me anymore They don’t care about we anymore I said the industry – it’s killing me It’s making things more difficult than they’ve gotta be They care more about money than about my body More about power than about energy The industry – it’s killing me It’s making things more difficult than they’ve gotta be They don’t care about me anymore Oh they don’t care about me… I wanna live in a simple city Where there’s a garden with enough to feed my people in it And we don’t gotta be the richest or the biggest either As long as we’ve got what we need I believe in a land where everyone begins to understand Mother nature is the teacher – learning from every creature Not concerning ourselves with money because it is the great deceiver And sometimes I forget – The whole monetary system is arisen out of debt Imagine if we all gave what we get – If we got what we gave it would be different Sometimes I forget – The whole monetary system is a bunch of bullsh*t What if we all gave what we get – If we got what we gave it would not be the same… DUB (ft Estee Nack) I wanna live in a simple city Where there’s a garden with enough to feed my people in it And we don’t gotta be the richest or the biggest either As long as we’ve got what we need We don't want more than we need...
