I'll Fly Away 03:28
lyrics
buy track
Some bright morning when this life is over I'll fly away To that home on God’s celestial shore I’ll fly away I’ll fly away oh glory I’ll fly away in the morning When I die hallelujah by and by I’ll fly away When the shadows of this life have gone I’ll fly away Like a bird from these prison walls I’ll fly I’ll fly away I’ll fly away oh glory I’ll fly away in the morning When I die hallelujah by and by I’ll fly away Oh how glad and happy when we meet I’ll fly away No more cold iron shackles on my feet I’ll fly away I’ll fly away oh glory I’ll fly away in the morning When I die hallelujah by and by I’ll fly away I’ll fly away oh glory I’ll fly away in the morning When I die hallelujah by and by I’ll fly away Just a few more weary days and then I’ll fly away To a land where joy shall never end I’ll fly away I’ll fly away oh glory I’ll fly away in the morning When I die hallelujah by and by I'll fly away I'll fly away I'll fly away

In Honor of Those Tread Upon 03:27
lyrics
buy track
Nothing lives long only the earth and the mountains Nothing lives long only the earth and the mountains The people, the people move them along Those people, those people they don’t belong The Earth is our mother, the sky it is our father The Earth is our mother, the sky it is our father There’s gold in them hills let the wagons come on The treaties, the treaties, sign another one We pray for the buffalo for they give us life We pray for the buffalo for they give us life Roam over the plains shoot to kill If I see another one I know I will We’ll be here till the black snake dies Mini Wiconi We’ll be here till the black snake dies Mini Wiconi There’s a void in our hearts and we don’t know it Push on boys, push on use those rubber bullets These lands are our home since time began These lands are our home since time began In our hands are shards of broken promises In our lands the stolen names of heritage Nothing lives long Nothing Nothing lives long only the earth and the mountains Nothing lives long only the earth and the mountains

Empty Vessel 04:10
lyrics
buy track
She wanted to be different than she was Dancing and laughing in the woods before Waiting, watching out of the window Wild with loneliness in a foreign house I am an empty vessel out of the water And I can’t be filling it any longer Collecting things, collecting dust Her dancing shoes buried under attic rust No voice for souls of her feet Where is your home? Where is your home? I am an empty vessel out of the water And I can’t be filling it any longer Why are you so angry at me Oh darling I’m not but can’t you see I am an empty vessel out of the water And I can’t be filling it any longer I am I am When you were a child you had your friend Four legs and a tail kept you company Now there is no one to call your own And you are lost to the sea, to the sea I am an empty vessel out of the water And I can’t be filling it any longer I am I am I am an empty vessel I am out of the water, out of the water I am an empty vessel And I can’t be filling it any longer

Dreamers 03:00
lyrics

I am the suffering children, I am them I am the hurting mother, I am her I am a broken family, I am them How can you not see all are part of our life tree? I am a fearful deportee, I am them I am the father of six I am him How can you be so blind, we are all born in this time Our souls do all belong As children play in the sun Borders do not exist Except in the minds of fools I dream of how this world could be I am a dreamer You dream in your heart on wistful nights You are a dreamer There are no borders We are all travelers On our Earth Honor the Earth How can you be so blind, we have all been born in this time I dream of how this world could be I am a dreamer You dream in your heart on wistful nights You are a dreamer There are no borders We are all travelers On our Earth Honor the Earth Honor the Earth Honor the Earth

Handsome Molly 03:04
lyrics
buy track
I wish I was in London Or some other seaport town I’d set my foot on a steamboat and I’d sail the ocean round While sailin’ ‘round the ocean Sailin’ round the sea I’d think of Handsome Molly Wherever she might be She rode to church on Sunday She passed me on by I could tell her mind was changin’ By the rovin’ of her eye Don’t you remember Molly When you gave me your right hand You said if we’d ever marry that I’d be your man Now you broke your promise Go marry whom you please While my poor heart’s aching You’re lying at your ease Hair was black as a raven Eyes were black as coal Cheeks was like lilies Out in the morning grown I wish I was in London Or some other seaport town I’d set my foot on a steamboat and I’d sail the ocean round While sailin’ ‘round the ocean Sailin’ round the sea, I’d think of Handsome Molly Wherever she might be
