How Is This All Ending?

The news pours down on my mind like the storms left in its wake
Another day of senseless violence, all this pain and suffering my mind can’t shake
And another legend passes way before their time
Tributes, tears we all break out in familiar song
Still I’m warm in bed each night with my loved ones at my side
Seems like something’s got to give as these blessings keep extending
My heart goes out to the suffering, how is this all ending?
Driving to the night’s show colors beckoning, the light turns imperceptible
Driving home that night, thinking about the music and all the sweet people
Northern California’s like a lovely dream
I make the kids laugh on the swings, will they ever want to stop?
Try to keep my mind and eyes off that all pervasive screen
I know we’ll learn a better way, it’s love that needs some tending
My heart goes out to the suffering how is this all ending?
The news is us tonight, heavy smoke, orange glow, emergency
Get my family in the car, no time to pack, driving south uncertainly
Fire spreading all around erratic as the winds
We are spared but others have lost everything
And still tonight I’m cooking udon noodles with my loves
There’s got to be a shift the laws of physics aren’t bending
My heart goes out to the suffering, how is this all ending?

Thin Veil

It’s hard not living day to day in anger
It’s hard not living day to day in fear
But as we walk through the darkness towards the danger The truth couldn’t be more clear
I am a product of my privilege
But I can still see right from wrong
And I can stare into the belly of the beast and know its time is almost gone
For there’s a Thin Veil that separates what appears from what is real
It’s just a house of cards, a web of lies to distract and to conceal
but if we look towards what we know is possible
we can end this whole ordeal
I know we’ll overcome this madness
Change the message, elevate our sound
We’ve got to listen to each other, work together
Solutions will be found
For there’s a Thin Veil that separates what appears from what is real
It’s just a house of cards, a web of lies to distract and to conceal
but if we look towards what we know is possible
We can mend and we can heal
I don’t know how we’ll win this battle,
Perhaps there is no battle to be waged
War is what maintains our divisions,
We can’t heal our wounds enraged
For there’s a Thin Veil that separates what appears from what is real
It’s just a house of cards, a web of lies to distract and to conceal
but if we look towards what we know is possible
We’ll create the world we feel
I am a product of my privilege
But I can still see right from wrong
We’ve got to listen to each other, share the world before it’s gone
The darkest hour comes right before the dawn

Know that you’ll get well again
Trust the Power of the Pelicans
Set your mind free from distractions
Take a glimpse at your reactions
With the Pelicans you will find rest
You will find peace in the silence
Let your mind rest, you’ll get well again
Trust the Power of the Pelicans

If it’s love that moves
Then why are we still waiting
It all unfolds so fast
The endless day endures
The planet breathes pulsating
Electric lights ablaze
Shattered glass
Within my child’s grasp
He’s bleeding
A shift in time’s revealed
Depends how we perceive it
If what’s revealed remains
And when the moment calls
Will you and I behold it?
I’d like to think we will
If it’s love that moves
Then why are we still waiting
We must not lose our grasp
Foolish war
Your aims are such a bore
It kills me
Will there be peace on earth?
I’d say to be determined
No reason I can’t see

Light In My Window

There was a time
When it looked like the end game
Soldiers rolled through the streets and
Children cried as there hunger just would not subside
Broken and bent
All our dreams were abandoned
An impossible climb and
We had believed we had run out of time
See me floating through the sky, maybe I can see us down there
See a world where we all try to reconcile that which divides us
There was a time
When it looked like the end game
But we cast off the systems
Self imposed by our fear, finally seeing what’s clear
Soldiers dismantled their guns
In spite of their orders
Fully seeing their threat was
Fabricated by lies and created by borders
I reached out my hand
You received it with warmth and
impeccable understanding
We could begin to see what it’s like to be free
And if it’s love that you are and you are (and you are and you are)
I’ll leave a light in my window
And if it’s love that you are and you are (and you are and you are)
You’ll find a light in my window
And if it’s love that you are and you can’t seem to find
A path to your heart, think you’ve run out of time
Or you don’t trust your vision, think it ain’t worth a dime
Don’t know where to begin, an impossible climb
Well you can look in my eyes and I’m sure you will see
That this all happened before and it happened to me
We’re all infinite light streams colliding with force
Imperfect and messy but never off course
The grief and the sorrow, the loss and the pain
All blended together washes out in the rain
We will never regain what we’ve lost
Grab your boat cast your sails we’ll set out for the sea
One of the last places where we can still truly feel free
If I was a lighthouse and you were a light
Then let the waves crash down on us impeccably bright
