The Acorn
09:45

In the Acorn, there is a promise of a tree.
Beneath the ground, it pushes itself where nothing is given
takes life and nutrients
others see nothing by dirt and mud.
We are seeds.
The Dirt is our lungs and blood.
Grow out, into.
Let me whisper in your tonight
Rain drops blow winds will know
For what it needs is the light
Sunlight giving life to the plant
For the plant will grow so lovely in the muddy swamps
For what it needs is the light
We are seeds
The dirt is our lungs
The dirt is our blood
The dirt is how we grow out and into
Underneath the ground
We know life and death for years untold.

Harlem Nocturne

A nocturne for the blues played on a broken heartstring
It's wailing out the news my baby is gone from me
Dark shadows in the rain, a telephone that won't ring
Just memories remain of lovers that used to be
I miss the laughs and the fun, my spot in the sun
When I was one, one and only
The music and lights, those wonderful nights
The morning is the time we'd kiss
The laughs and the fun, my days in the sun
They're over and done and I'm lonely
Don't ask me to hid the heartbreak inside
The gleaming spark is gone, the light went dark
This nocturne for the blues took all and left me nothing
Nothing by the blues till baby comes back to me

The Search for New Land
06:36

Searching for new land
All the work we had now is gone
Moving West
Looking for a better life, desperate for a change.
Pioneers passing through the rapids tide
Voyages, struggles full of promises
Life in a new land
All we have is faith in our hands
Forceful storms
Fighting for our very lives
Dreaming of the calm
So they travel
Through the snow
Kids in tow
Over mountains in the cold
Facing fears
Trailing tears
All in search of gold.

Shenandoah

Oh Shenandoah I long to see you
Away you rolling river
Oh Shenandoah I long to see you
Away I'm bound away
'Cross the wide Missouri
Oh Shenandoah I love your daughter
Away you rolling river
Oh Shenandoah I love your daughter
Away I'm bound away
'Cross the wide Missouri
Been seven long years since I've last seen you
Away you rolling river
Seven years since I've last seen you
Away I'm bound away
'Cross the wide Missouri
