LYRICS
Greed Come Around – Wade Fernandez
Back 40 Mine
Line 3 Pipeline
Water is life
Greed is a knife
Hmmmm, greed come around
Grandmother's crying
Corporate crime
Oil & mines, children die
Hmmmm, Greed come around
Grandmother prays
Please don't be played
Cap & Trade, Blood money made
Hmmmm, Greed come around
Hmmmm, Greed come around
Sacred wind talking now
A voice in the trees from the ground
Hold on to love
When greed come around
Sacred water speak loud
Grandmother Earth is crying out
Hold on to love
Don't sell out
When greed come around, greed come around, greed come around
Suit & a smile
Selling us lies
Money blinds, Poison our minds
Hmmmm, Greed come around
Buy air we breathe
Dirty money
Sell sovereignty, Corp'rate greed
Hmmmm, Greed come around,
Hmmmm, Greed come around
Love's Where I Want To Be – Wade Fernandez
She was standing tall in the breeze
She was standing strong and weak
She was tired of giving and falling down so deep
But something happened when I kissed her sweet,
Love's where I want to be
I was blind as a boy can be
Tired of being naive
I was tired of giving and falling down so deep
But something happened when she said to me,
Love's where I want to be
Now we're bound by the rhythm of our hearts and our souls
And move to the groove of a love that make us whole
And the falling stars we'll pick them up
One by one will give them love to grow
Cause we believe in you and me & I know
Love's where I want to be
Now we're standing tall in the breeze
Hand in hand found peace
We're not looking for another silly lover cause we got what we need
Still tremble when she gently touches me
Love's where I want to be
Be The Change On The Rise – Wade Fernandez
Come be the change now, Come be the light
Come be the change now, Peace be the light
Be the change everybody, Time to wake up and rise
Be the change everybody, Time to wake up and rise
Be the light lighting up through the dark
Be the change on the rise
Poles are getting warmer, ice is on the melt
Flooding on the coast line, storms along the belt
Burning down the forest oil burning on the sea
Let love, open your heart turn & face reality
Be the, change everybody, time to wake up & rise
Oil smoke refineries polluting up the sky
Nuclear fallouts radiation high
Pipelines puking black sludge, mining everywhere
We changed to bottled water, please don't change to bottled air
Victims of comfort, in a plastic world
Voting dirty lies, the war has unfurled
Grandmother calls, for peace and with prayer
Protecting and standing, be the change in the air
(Chorus)
Come be the change now, Come be the light
Come be the change now, Peace be the light
I Wont Break – Wade Fernandez
Days fade painful memories rearrange
After all of our sorrys are gone
As we burn the sage
Pray the smoke takes the rage
Can we share a bed with sleep before the dawn
And we grow so tired holding thunder inside
Coaxing out shadows, recovering light
And melancholy keeps on calling out our name
Still, I wont break, I wont break
We reach a brave state when we say no to hate
And love all that is left of our hearts
Try to cast aside all the chains we call pride
As we try to stop the pain before it scars
(chorus)
Feel the power of the thunder
And when the rain falls
It wont wash me under
Every day I must mend a little more, and bend so I won't break
Love shall remain but not in powerless shame
Proudly walk the dream our ancestors dreamed
Truth wash the stains of the trauma of the pain
And try hard, to, re-claim our history
The Gift Of Today – Wade Fernandez
In the realm of your beauty, I bow at your feet
Kissed by your morning dew, your scent is so sweet
I fall down and weep, as I'm blessed by your grace
Another day in your universe, Another gift of today
Another day in your universe, I have the gift of today
Shadows fall fading sunlight, purple sky paints the scene
Stars sprinkle dark canopy, grandmother moon starts to beam
I fall down and weep, as I'm blessed by your grace
Another day in your universe, Another gift of today
Another day in your universe, I have the gift of today
I have the gift of today
I have the gift of today
And I've, got my needs, fulfilled
When I breathe, you in
It's where I begin, and where I end
Where I end
Shadows slow dance with sunlight, I feel the cool meet the heat
In this balance of beauty, My soul made complete
I fall down and weep, as I'm blessed by your grace
Another day in your universe, Another gift of today
Another day in your universe, I have the gift of today
Another day in your universe, we have the gift of today
To Grow In The Rain – Wade Fernandez
Behind each cloud, lives the light
With each doubt we choose to stay or choose to hide
The sun will rise, after dark nights
We decide, to live in pain
Or decide, to grow in the rain
Through pain & beauty comes a birth
And from death is it the end or just rebirth
Does thunder scream or lightning, kiss the Earth
We decide, to live in pain
Or decide, to grow in the rain
Sometimes we hurt, sometimes we cry
Sometimes we feel, pain wont subside
But we have a choice, we can decide
To see the beauty, within each dark night
There we can grow, There we can grow
Grow in the rain
Call them storms, or embrace the rain
Count the losses or acknowledge them as gains
With open arms, or disdain
We decide, to live in pain
Build our walls, or let love in
Or decide, to grow in the rain
Grow in the rain
Life grows in the rain
Hopelessly, Loving You – Wade Fernandez
Lonely bird, out your window, Sings through the leaves
I wish love was like a leaf, Falling for me
There's a heart that is singing, melancholy
A kiss through the moonlight, a wish for your dreams
Oh a heart has a way, of lifting you up
A heart has a way, of bringing you down
I know I'll never hold you, still sing you these blues
Hopelessly loving you
Lonely bird, out your window, sings you to sleep
A lullaby through the starlight, a prayer to share your dreams
Though the tears they may dry up, vision's unclear
Broken heart holds you blindly, through love that's not real
(chorus)
Oh in dreams we meet
A melody so sweet
And in dreams we fly
Throughout these nights
Sorry sun wakes me
To reality
Lonely bird, out your window, Singing sweetly
The sweet gifted melody, Tastes bitter to me
And if you ever find out, Ever find truth
You'll see, this bird out your window,
Is hopeless me
Loving you
Through Hell and Back I'll Ride This Beast – Wade Fernandez
Full moon paint a frigid sky
Cold snow pushin' back the light
In shadows dark I sit astride
Man on beast, it's time to ride
I was just a baby child
Mean ol' train took momma's life
Poor child livin' on his own
Learned to ride where feral roam
Some may ride a horse for sport
Read a book or book a course
Some may keep a pet so sweet
Through hell and back I'll ride this beast
Like a knife life cuts you loose
Gotta run away from the hang man's noose
Pay you're dues on the road you choose
Paved with gold or paved with blues
Some may wallow in a mire
Some may burn out some may tire
Some don't care the quitters quit
I rode through crap so don't give me shit
(chorus)
The Bottom Line – Wade Fernandez & Annie Humphrey
Walking side by side not in front not behind
It's a sacrifice it's a compromise
Find our way each night sharing in this light
With a heart so open wide, tonight
If this love is real ain't no damn fairy tale
Some days it wins some days it fails
You gain a best friend and you both can mend
The tears inside love can bring the light
And when I raise my voice, It's out of fear
I feel so ugly when I cause your tears
(chorus)
Beauty from within shines through aging skin
A lesson learned true love you gotta earn
I know love is hard, been broken down and scarred
If we hold on tight, we'll make it through the night
When I raised my voice, it was out of fear
I feel so ugly when I see your tears
It's not your fault, it's not mine
I'll always love you, through tears & time
And that's the bottom line
Walking side by side not in front not behind
It's a sacrifice it's a compromise
Find our way each night sharing in this light
With a heart so open wide, tonight and that's the bottom line
