Perceive 03:31
Listen to the howling wind, feel the flow it spins, like the people surround you Lighting the flame inside, feeling the warmth and light, inspire your mind I don't know where you've been, I will not pretend, that I know you I don't know what you see, when you look straight at me and perceive Don't fall through the cracks Hearing the warm spring breeze, whisper through the trees, like the people in town do Taking it all in stride, can't say I never tried, to open your eyes.

Sitting and thinking on the mountain side Feeling the breeze and that Cascadian Pride Seeing the lights from the city glow On the edge of space, with no boundaries to know Rolling waves made of mountains and trees Do I go alone, will you come with me Surfing and floating on the coastal tide Feeling the pull of the moon on my mind Hiking and thinking on the forest edge The ocean starts, right over that ledge Three sisters look up, laying the lava in it's bed The rivers run deep from the glaciers melting head

Head out to the mountains leave your everyday behind Hike to sunsets melting with visions undefined The peaks provide reflections of a summer alpenglow Share the common spaces with the grateful to un-wind Chat with brand new faces old friends you will remind Darkness brings a palace from the suns of other worlds And we go back to the cabin Heat that iron skillet throw a new log on the fire Pick that six string thinking before we all retire The storm will bring fresh powder, the morning sun will glow Wax up all the bases and dry out all the gear Tomorrow brings fine chances for grinning ear to ear There's time to search your soul And let the roof-alanches roll And we go back to the cabin

After the rain when the sun beats down It returns all the water to the sky The smells so sweet and their is no doubt That I can taste all the land on my mind It takes me home After the snow when the sun shines down We have a blue-bird day in this mountain town It shines so bright and there is no doubt Crystal blankets of powder are yours if your around It takes me home Mt. Hood Sweetness is coming over me Making me high and happy like I wanna be Before I go and I leave this town I give thanks to the mountain for all the peace I found I'll cry no tears cause there is no doubt I 'll return to be blessed by this sacred ground It takes me home Mt. Hood Sweetness is coming over me Making me high and happy like I wanna be It takes me home

7 Years 02:44
This road and all these signs they look familiar I think that I've been down this road before I guess as long as I am the one recording My eyes will filter days on the same score The golden sun is setting on the day now The feathers of my mind fly to the moon Anyone can guess which year is turning Measured by our lives while we are learning And I am seven years of living away From the knowledge that I need today Won't you step right up and give me that advise then step away Experience will be the final preacher Feel your path but listen to the teacher This life can bring us down so small and fragile The moment make us tall and strong for battle Still I am seven years of living away From the wisdom that I need today Won't you fly right up and give me that advise then fly away

Growing up young and mind in a body having fun Learning each other sharing is a balance often one Living the dream standing on the earth before the sun Hello challenge we gotta spend a whole life holding hands Pushing and pulling we only have a tiny place to stand The body tells you but you don't always understand Here in this body taking my head for a tour Me and my head tasking my body with chores The body relates to the mind all the pain it endures The mind smiles and cheers while is laughs at the body that's yours Growing up old a mind in a body share the fold To balance each other father time has cast a mold The body stumbles but the mind it grows more bold Hello challenge now it's time to have some fun The body weakens youth was wasted on the young You hold the flame and your far from being done Here in this body taking my head for a tour Me and my head tasking this body with chores The body relates to the mind all the pain it endures The mind smiles and cheers while it laughs at the body that's yours

My song and sleep they share a dream They both allow my soul to gleam When I am awake my true intentions take So much time to pass my mind So much time for me to find Thoughts they leave me far behind And I think about the times that might have been If I acted on my feelings and I didn't think again I put my life up on a truing stand Clear my head of thoughts live as a free man Think about the things that you could be Put down all the fear use the heart to see I put my life up on a truing stand Clear my head of thoughts live as a free man

Why should I feel forsaken there was no lie You told me yourself that this would happen You did try, to save me from where I was mistaken Now we walk into the future with the presence from the past It guides the way and tells the stories Of the battles we fought and walked away This is the deal your thoughts will miss-direct you You'r here to feel the pain it will correct you Push through your wall and once your re-directed Answer the call you have been selected
