"Nature's Voices"
Lyrics by Kim Bonell, Music by John Two-Hawks

Chorus
Nature's Voices, call to me, call to me each morn
Soft and sweet, are their words, I have been reborn

Stone Brother calls to me, tells me of his history....
traveling far and wide, catching the ebb and tide
(Chorus)
Oh great pine I hear your rhyme, hold me to your heart....
see my light come shining through, I know we'll never part
(Chorus)
Wind so gentle share your tale, tell me of the world....
of vast lands still unheard, where man has not yet furled
(Chorus)
Ina Mother I love your voice, draw me to you breast....
take me to your highest land, to see beyond the crest
(Chorus)

He was born the only boy, son of a music man....
who played guitars and violins with the skill of a master's hand
His daddy died when he was four, and took the music away....
but way deep down inside his soul, you could hear it softly play

He spent his life in a factory, to give us clothes and meals
He said he'd never own a vette, but his four kids were his wheels
A gentle, quiet, working man who taught me right from wrong....
he gave me more than he'll ever know, so I had to write this song

Chorus
The music man is growing old, and his guitar don't get played....
but his dream is in my fingertips, and his song will never fade
So though I might get credit for the music that I bring....
the music man deserves it all, for it's his song that I sing

You taught me how to be a man, to stand up tall and proud
You taught me how to like myself, so I would not follow the crowd
You taught me that through music, you can say what's hard to show
And Dad that's why I wrote this song, to say I love you so
(Chorus)

Listen....    to the strings that echo the pain of a lonely man,
so many songs to play
Listen....    to the mind that tells the story that few understand,
so many things to say

Chorus
Every song is another phase, secrets exposed as the music plays
And if you listen and watch, you can hear and see....
the heart that feels the poetry, that brings a tear to the eye
And if you listen....    you can hear the poets cry

Listen....    to the voice that opens the door so emotions can flow,
so many songs to sing
Listen....    to the heart that captures the moment and then must let it go,
losing track of everything

(Chorus)

Bridge
Buying time on sorrow's waves, sailing the once deep, shallow sea
Cast a line for someone who craves, passion that fuels love meant to be,
but only to find....  the sea is empty
Add to the legacy....  another song

Listen....    to the strings that echo the pain of a lonely man,
so many songs to play
Listen....    to the mind that tells the story that few understand,
so many things to say

(Chorus)

Thank you Ozark Mountains, for giving me a home
Redbuds, dogwoods and Blue Spring, I am never alone
The sunset is my family, shows up 'round supper time
Surrounded by this forest, these birds are friends of mine

Thank you Ozark Mountains, you teach me how to slow
For long deep breaths and happiness, with nowhere I need to go
For garden swings and shining things, for yellow daffodils....
the color of rain, the scent of life, and feathered hello trills

Chorus
Ancient Ozark Mountains, your silver cooling streams
Your green and blue and 'I love you' still visit in my dreams

Thank you Ozark Mountains, you teach me life is sweet
In humble silence I sit, to learn at your mighty feet....
and walk along the wisdom path, to secrets I can't share,
and to know the power of your past, and let you take me there

Thank you Ozark Mountains, for giving me a chance
With autumn leaves that spin and swirl, I join the joyful dance
And when my days are dimmer, and it's time for my depart....
just scatter me in this place, that already holds my heart

(Chorus)

Winter cold had stolen all my dreams
I wandered aimlessly upon the breeze....
wishing there was someone there for me....
to fill the pages of my memory

And it was you

Then like the dragonfly on angel's wings,
the scent of daffodils in early spring,
you drifted into my world like a song
It felt as if you'd been there all along

And it was you

Golden summer sun upon your face
Fill me with the warmth of your embrace
Barefoot castles built upon the shore
All it took was you and nothing more

And it was you....   It was you

I see the changing colors in your hair
Love is all around me like the air
Autumn leaves are falling over me,
but you're the only thing that I can see

And it was you....   It was you

In sacred silence we walk hand in hand
We do not need a word to understand
Winter smiles have come for you and me
I will love you for eternity....

And it was you....   It was you....   It was you

Standing in the wind....    Falling on your knees....
Hear the eagle call....    Feel the Spirit breathe....
You are one with all....    All is one with you....
Reaching to the sky....                PRAY....
(REPEAT)

"Wisdom"
Lyrics by John Two-Hawks

Once, we were close....  to Mother Earth, to Spirit, to each other.
All things were sacred, the tree, the rock, the wind, you, and I.
Darkness has come, to our people.
And we have forgotten the sacred way, of our ancestors.
Ho Tunkasila!  Help us Grandfather, to find once again,
the path of peace.
We must rise as smoke from the ashes of a great fire.
We must think, of the 7th generation.  We, are their hope.
And we must learn once again, that all things, are indeed,
connected....    Mitakuye Oyasin.

"Arise (Great Eagle)"
Great Eagle________   Fly....

"Love Song"
Lyrics by Peggy Hill

Welcome the rain.  Soften the pain.  Love is gonna do it all...
Prisoner's release.  Enemies, peace.  Love is gonna do it all...

Strength to forgive.  Reason to live.  Love is gonna do it all...
Food for the child.  Arms full and mild.  Love is gonna do it all...

Yesterday's tears are gone.  Sunrise, new dawn.  Love is gonna do it all...
Walk on, it's done.  Walk on, walk on.  Love has done it all...

"Honor"
Lyrics by John Two-Hawks

Honor the wind....  the moon and the seasons
You come, you go....  you come again

Honor the Circle....  which never ends
Honor the Spirit....  and we live
