I walk beside the native tribes
A place so high where spirits fly
At Paha Sapa the hills can talk
The voices of the ancestors

I think I’ve found sacred ground

A magic girl entered my world
With a gift for song and a will so strong
When you see the signs you must do what’s right
Do what you can to fulfill the plan

I think I’ve found sacred ground

Our children must depend on us
For their future on Mother Earth
We must be bound to not let them down
Because all we’ve found is sacred ground

I think I’ve found sacred ground

This is the moment in time
When me must open our eyes
See through deception and lies
Then we can open our minds

For so long the powers that be
Have kept us in mass slavery
It’s time to rise up and be free
End exploitation and greed

Chorus:
Apocalypse Man he does what he can
So we’ll understand the broken plan
To wake up the fools and and change the rules
Apocalypse man

There must be a much better way
Than what we are living today
Chasing material gain
A path that cannot be sustained

Chorus

Remove all your shackles and chains
That keep you from walking away
Break through the bars of your cage
Find a way to be the change

Chorus

We all are Apocalypse Man
We must do whatever we can
To wake up and resist the plan
To rise up and take a stand

Chorus

We’ve been together for so long now.
You’re so familiar but still some how.
When I look deep into your eyes.
I still feel the same desires.

Don’t tell me you love me. Just take this hunger from me.
Just treat me right tonight.

So many people that I have known.
Some are friends and some much more.
But you’re the one who rocks my soul.
Tear me down then make me whole.

Don’t tell me you love me. Just take this hunger from me.
Just treat me right tonight.

I wake up in the morning to a sea of humanity all at once starting in motion
And it’s hard to imagine so many and it’s hard to imagine the sameness that we’ve chosen
And I feel like an outsider watching life unfold upon a silver screen
Writing down the soundtrack trying to show the world it’s incongruity

And I guess I’m just a mirror of the world I see
Sizing up this life a real world refugee

I’m puzzled by these people pretending there’s no world beyond their boundaries
Their selfishness is subtle-they vote against their consciences in privacy
And they think that their so holy and Heaven is a place reserved for only them
And they hate you if you’re different because they hate the superficial values they defend

And I guess I’m just a mirror of the world I see
Sizing up this life a real world refugee

We think that we’re so clever but really we’re just slaves to our technology
And what we’re calling progress is really just a race to reach insanity
And all communication is limited to digital hyperbole
And do I really know you from what you choose to share on your biography

And I guess I’m just a mirror of the world I see
Sizing up this life a real world refugee

People try to make me see.
The world could be a fantasy.
Illusion of reality.
No future and no history.

Chorus:
Across an endless sea.
Across a rugged land.
Your spirit calls to me.
I will reach out my hand.

Once it did occur to me.
We see just what we want to see.
We only know what we believe.
The rest of life’s a mystery.

Chorus:
Across an endless sea.
Across a rugged land.
Your spirit calls to me.
I will reach out my hand.
I can hear your words.
I can touch your mind.
I will take my search.
Across the bridge of time.

There’s more to what we realize.
Than images within our eyes.
The way your words can make me feel.
Is part of what I know is real.

Chorus

We live in a forest on a mountain.
The forest creatures live there too.
All who live here on this mountain.
Live by a different set of rules.

The hummingbirds returned this morning.
To where they left from just last Fall.
The bears have woken from their slumber.
The forest somehow feeds us all.

Chorus: I see the ghosts of the old forest.
They tell the story of their day.
And they are whispering a warning.
That this was always nature’s way.

A fire swept across these hillsides.
Over a century ago.
It cleansed the earth beneath the forest.
So that it could be reborn.

Chorus

If I should leave this world tomorrow.
And reach the end of all my days.
Do not pity me or sorrow.
For this was always nature’s way.

Chorus

In the children’s eyes, you will find no lies, no compromise.
No black or white, no wars to fight, only broken lives.
No matter what we’re told that the future holds there’s one thing we know for sure.
In the whole wide world with its flags unfurled the only thing we have that’s pure.

Is found in the children’s eyes.

When will we realize that our children’s lives can’t be sacrificed.
There’s no cause so high that could justify such an awful price.
Between the lies we tell can we put ourselves in their place for just one day.
In a world so small we could save them all if we don’t ignore the pain.

In the children’s eyes.

Many choices so much left to chance.
I wonder how I stumble on this path.
Each of us must travel our own road.
I walk beside you still I walk alone.

Contemplate my own existence.
The odds against us being alive.
Life exists in our minds only.
I can only wonder why.

Humbled by the questions that we pose.
Answers so elusive yet so close.
Time that does not start and does not end.
World that’s unrestrained by dimension.

Questions that can drain you empty.
Searching for a distant light.
Everything here has an ending.
I can only wonder why.

If you stop to look then you may see.
So many paths in life are preconceived.
If you stop and open up your eyes.
And choose to lead extraordinary lives.

Each of us was born innocent.
Subjugated till we die.
Living lives so predetermined.
I can only wonder why.
