DAYLIGHT Take your time, think it over break it down, into little pieces in your mind, in your systems open up the windows see it, in the..... Daylight washing over every nerve and molecule IN THE Daylight air and space and time release your inner muse Feel you soul, give it space to fly apart into the universe in your heart, sleeps your answers open up it's window feel it , in the..... Daylight winding through the DNA and RNA IN THE Daylight bursting through the vail to feed your energies We move through our fears into a grace larger than we've seen expand our hearts and minds but never forget to breath Friends and relations pass on and we're to drum their beat in an orchestra of souls reminding us who we've been IN THE Daylight walking through money till the sun goes down IN THE Daylight walking through money till the sun comes up IN THE Daylight riding through money till the sun goes down

Dreamtimeland Highway Is inner space the safest place here Seems everyone can get along here The palettes paints and disarray here Keep on looking inward, deeper inward, inward to your universe Close your eyes and draw in deeply the path between is what you're seeking balances and feelings fleeting Keep on looking inward, deeper inward, inward to your universe Looking glasses and mirror balls orbit around the lizard mind is this such a sight to see? Every dream you dream awaits the door to bring it to the light. is this what you thought that you might see? So, jump inside with us We're gonna ride that magic bus and see some psychic sites on The Dreamtimeland Highway On every mountain a star will saddle in every stream the stones will battle the birds and bees will make their honey Keep on looking inward, deeper inward, inward to your universe Looking glasses and mirror balls orbit around the lizard mind is this such a sight to see? Every dream you dream awaits the door to bring it to the light. is this what you thought that you might see? So, jump inside with us We're gonna ride that magic bus and see some psychic sites on The Dreamtimeland Highway Is inner space the safest place here Seems everyone can get along here Keep on looking inward, deeper inward, inward to your universe

Savior 03:42
Savior 2000 steps 2000 breaths to the top this being from the west, relies on eastern minds of inner nature Oh how we rely upon past and future when it's here and now The sky open wide To the sorrows of every man, woman and child This is, this holy man knowing in all of his worries knowing in all of the love that he brings love that he brings The food and drink, the revelry, give way to earth sky and nature thunder claps through starry skies, release inner splendor this walk he takes, so many sins will fall from his shoulders Oh how we rely upon past and future when it's here and now (guitar solo) The sky open wide To the sorrows of every man, woman and child This is, this holy man knowing in all of his worries knowing in all of the love that he brings love that he brings Nam-myoho-renge-kyo.......

In the Stars 04:03
In the Stars We've done nothin' wrong We're in innocent awe It's just a dance This life romance Hey darlin', guess you're here like all the rest two nomads, lookin' for some rest out here walking, on this desert of glass Seeing our reflections, in it's mirror a past. We're out here, both out here at any age we bare the scars launch points in virtue if it is meant to be in the stars Little babies, fit and fuss and fuss to rest like an old man, with his young heart he hopes his best We are all waiting, for the thing that tastes the best it's time to focus our hearts and minds but don't forget, don't forget the best We're out here, both out here at any age we bare the scars launch points in virtue if it is meant to be in the stars Shots fired in anger whether ballistic or verbal charged we all face the same fate here if it is meant to be in the stars The sky's ahead of me the strikes and chains behind The sky's ahead of me the strikes and chains behind We're out here We're out here We're out here We're out here

As far as the eye can see Keep dreaming up things you can hold on to Don't worry 'bout lies and expectation In your world, you're the master of creation give it up, make it up as you go The eyes are the windows to our souls We'll take what we need before we go No master, no servant it's touch and go re-write the systems and misguided wisdoms and..... Reach for the sky open your eyes turn your gaze as far as the eye can see In the sky is a point of light to follow take a risk and forget about the sorrow cast a wish and trust in what is fortold give it up, make it up as you go take all the worries you hold inside and don't wait for storms to dark your sky You lead with your light generate it bright take down the systems and lead with your wisdom and..... Reach for the sky open your eyes and turn your gaze as far as the eye can see Open your wings the cosmos will sing Throw your light as far as the eye can see..... keep dreamin' up don't worry 'bout it keep dreamin' up don't worry about it dreamin' up don't worry 'bout it keep dreamin' up don't worry about it Reach for the sky open your eyes and turn your gaze as far as the eye can see Open your wings the cosmos will sing Throw your light as far as the eye can see.....

It's Science 03:01
It's Science D'yah get the note, about the rope? Ya know the rope? That ties us all together In every strand of molecules, they're like the jewels They tell the truth much better Trust is a skill for the weak of the will It's true, It's blue It's right It's Science It truly defies your rights It's Science Stomp your feet and grit your teeth They don't care The proof is in their pudding You have the right, the right to say no, you don't. You don't know better. Still is the night, in your civil rights fight Big boys don't do that Big boys don't do that Big boys don't do that Don't do that, don't do they??? It's true, It's blue It's right It's Science It truly defies your rights It's Science It's true, It's blue It's right It's Science It's Science It's Science

about

Charles Otis Gainesville, Florida

I'm a 60 year old musician, singer and songwriter residing in Gainesville, Florida. I've been at song crafting a very long time. I'm passionate about it. I think that memorable musical pieces can be like a short audio / film or story. I love mixing technology with traditional rock and exotic ethnic instrumentation. You'll find a little bit of everything in what I do.
