I've opened a brand new door
I see things I've never seen before
The earth is revolving and evolving
All my boundaries are dissolving
There's a hole in the fabric of my reality
A glimpse of creation in all its totality
There's a hole in the fabric of my reality
The cosmos is dancing with joy and vitality
A playful dance that's ever-changing
Always moving, rearranging
The planets are spinning round and round
Whirling by without a sound
There's a hole in the fabric of my reality
A glimpse of creation in all its totality
There's a hole in the fabric of my reality
The cosmos is dancing with joy and vitality
I'm having some sort of resurrection
I've been taken off the shelf
I'm feeling a profound connection
To something bigger than myself
There's a hole in the fabric of my reality
A glimpse of creation in all its totality
There's a hole in the fabric of my reality
The cosmos is dancing with joy and vitality
There's a hole in the fabric of my reality
A glimpse of creation in all its totality
There's a hole in the fabric of my reality
The cosmos is dancing with joy and vitality
The cosmos is dancing with joy and vitality

Breathe

It's important to breathe
If you don't breathe, you'll die
But the beauty of breathing
Is you don't have to try
When I inhale and exhale
When I draw breath I see
Everything in the room
Breathes in and out with me
It's important to breathe
If you don't breathe, you'll die
But the beauty of breathing
Is you don't have to try
All the objects in the room
Are inflating and deflating
The molecules that make them up
Are alive and pulsating
It's important to breathe
If you don't breathe, you'll die
But the beauty of breathing
Is you don't have to try
God breathed the breath of life
Into man's nostrils
And man became a living soul
According to the Gospel
It's important to breathe
If you don't breathe, you'll die
But the beauty of breathing
Is you don't have to try
It's important to breathe
If you don't breathe, you'll die
But the beauty of breathing
Is you don't have to try
It's important to breathe
If you don't breathe, you'll die
But the beauty of breathing
Is you don't have to try
You don't have to try

I'm a trippy cowboy
Riding on the astral plane
I'm on a mind-bending journey
That's my claim to fame
Yippee-ki-yay
Is what the cowboys say
Yippee-ki-yay
It's a beautiful day
I'm just a cosmic cowboy
Floating through the sky
Flashing a beatific smile
At all who pass me by
Yippee-ki-yay
Is what the cowboys say
Yippee-ki-yay
It's a beautiful day
Yippee-ki-yay
I'm on my way
Yippee-ki-yay
Everything is ok
Yippee-ki-yay
Let's fly away
Yippee-ki-yay
It's just a beautiful day
Yippee-ki-yay
Is what the cowboys say
Yippee-ki-yay
It's a beautiful day
I'm a psychedelic cowboy
And I'm far away from home
Sailing through the universe
Blasting-off for the unknown
Yippee-ki-yay
Is what the cowboys say
Yippee-ki-yay
It's a beautiful day
Yippee-ki-yay
Is what the cowboys say
Yippee-ki-yay
It's a beautiful day

Are you feeling alone and troubled?
Has your path become narrow and steep?
Let God's light of love travel into your heart
And heaven's rewards you will reap
I'm beginning to live in the light
I'm beginning to live in the light
The lord is my light
My salvations in sight
I'm beginning to live in the light
The lights that are up in the heavens
Are shining their rays down on earth
The light that my savior shines down on me
Illuminates my soul's rebirth
I'm beginning to live in the light
I'm beginning to live in the light
The lord is my light
My salvations in sight
I'm beginning to live in the light
The light from the kingdom beams down on me
Shimmering both day and night
Shining ever so brightly upon my soul
As I walk into God's loving light
I'm beginning to live in the light
I'm beginning to live in the light
The lord is my light
My salvations in sight
I'm beginning to live in the light
I'm beginning to live in the light
I'm beginning to live in the light
The lord is my light
My salvations in sight
I'm beginning to live in the light

Airwaves

Lying in bed, late at night
The radio dial giving off the only light
Covers pulled up to my chin
Distant station drifting out and in
It's late and I should be asleep by now
But I'll stay up and soak in those far-away sounds
Of mysterious music from another world
Traveling miles and miles through my bedroom walls
As a child, I found comfort in the magical sounds
Coming over the airwaves to my sleepy town
Music that broke through the dark of night
And opened my eyes to the world outside
It's late and I should be asleep by now
But I'll stay up and soak in those far away sounds
Of mysterious music from another world
Traveling miles and miles through my bedroom walls
It's late and I should be asleep by now
But I'll stay up and soak in those far away sounds
Of mysterious music from another world
Traveling miles and miles through my bedroom walls
Lying in bed, in the dead of night
The radio dial giving off the only light
Straining to hear strange new musical sounds
Beneath the static and noise that abounds
It's late and I should be asleep by now
But I'll stay up and soak in those far away sounds
Of mysterious music from another world
Traveling miles and miles through my bedroom walls
Traveling miles and miles through my bedroom walls
Traveling miles and miles through my bedroom walls

I'm a Caterpillar

I'm a caterpillar
Time killer
Stuck inside my room
Life in a cocoon
I'm just standing by
Till I'm a butterfly
And I can finally fly
Into the vast blue sky
I don't want to climb the walls
Like Kafka's poor Gregor
He certainly didn't expect
To wake up a giant insect
It would be a crime
If I were past my prime
When I am finally free
From this captivity
So I'm just standing by
Till I'm a butterfly
And I can finally fly
Into the vast blue sky
I don't want to climb the walls
Like Kafka's poor Gregor
He certainly didn't expect
To wake up a giant insect
I'm a caterpillar
Time killer
Stuck inside my room
Life in a cocoon
I'm just standing by
Till I'm a butterfly
And I can finally fly
Into the vast blue sky
Into the vast blue sky
Into the vast blue sky

I'm loving my existence
And the joy that it brings
I'm just a small part of the universe
Connected to everything
Life is so freaking beautiful
Life is so freaking beautiful
The truth is indisputable
Life is so freaking beautiful
I've got some news people
And I'll give you all the scoop
We're just another ingredient
In this cosmic soup
Life is so freaking beautiful
Life is so freaking beautiful
The truth is indisputable
Life is so freaking beautiful
We're all so insignificant
But that's what's so magnificent
Just take it all in stride
Lay back, enjoy the ride
I've been down the rabbit hole
And through the looking glass
Despite all this, I have to say
Life's always been a gas
Life is so freaking beautiful
Life is so freaking beautiful
The truth is indisputable
Life is so freaking beautiful
Life is so freaking beautiful
Life is so freaking beautiful
The truth is indisputable
Life is so freaking beautiful

Spent some time in Memphis, Tn
A city rich in music history
You can feel it in the air
You can hear it everywhere
The ghosts of Memphis music past
The songs that were left behind
Time flies by so very fast
I've got Memphis on my mind
Made my way to Memphis, Tn
Strumming hard on these old guitar strings
There's always music in the air
You can hear it everywhere
The ghosts of Memphis music past
The songs that were left behind
Time flies by so very fast
I've got Memphis on my mind
Memphis always felt like home
I've got Memphis music in my bones
Blues, country, gospel, soul
Fills my heart and makes me whole
The ghosts of Memphis music past
The songs that were left behind
Time flies by so very fast
I've got Memphis on my mind
The ghosts of Memphis music past
The songs that were left behind
Time flies by so very fast
I've got Memphis on my mind
I've got Memphis on my mind
I've got Memphis on my mind

Music of the Spheres

I hear the trumpets sounding
With a noise that's so astounding
All my senses reeling
At what creation's revealing
I'm listening to the music of the spheres
The sounds of the galaxy pour into my ears
The planets are talking directly to me
Their voices creating a symphony
I'm listening to the music of the spheres
I'm grinning like the Cheshire cat
Cause I know where it's at
My face is dissolving into space
But my smile remains in place
I'm listening to the music of the spheres
The sounds of the galaxy pour into my ears
The planets are talking directly to me
Their voices creating a symphony
I'm listening to the music of the spheres
Life goes by so very quickly
And we don't have too long
Just a little time
To hear this beautiful song
I'm listening to the music of the spheres
The sounds of the galaxy pour into my ears
The planets are talking directly to me
Their voices creating a symphony
I'm listening to the music of the spheres
I'm listening to the music of the spheres
The sounds of the galaxy pour into my ears
The planets are talking directly to me
Their voices creating a symphony

Wandering down this lonesome highway
God is gonna take me home
Looking for that heavenly byway
God is gonna take me home
We all want to go home
We're tired and we don't want to roam
I'm a lost and lonely soul
God is gonna take me home
Lately there's a change in me
God is gonna take me home
Lord I want to be closer to thee
God is gonna take me home
We all want to go home
We're tired and we don't want to roam
I'm a lost and lonely soul
God is gonna take me home
In his presence I will stand
God is gonna take me home
I'll follow him to that promised land
God is gonna take me home
We all want to go home
We're tired and we don't want to roam
I'm a lost and lonely soul
God is gonna take me home
In my Fathers house there are many rooms
God is gonna take me home
He's making a place for me and you
God is gonna take me home
We all want to go home
We're tired and we don't want to roam
I'm a lost and lonely soul
God is gonna take me home
God is gonna take me home
God is gonna take me home
I'm a lost and lonely soul
God is gonna take me home
