Roots 03:45
I was born on the other side of earth and my mind keeps wandering astray, and the sharper the hunger the greater the thirst, it’s eating me away. I’m a wanderer are you a wanderer too, an addiction I have to ensue, so together we’ll wander into the blue till my roots have something to say. Wanderer, roots I’m just searching for my roots, just another wanderer roots I’m just searching for my roots. Gonna put on my walking boots roots roots roots my roots roots roots, oh boots roots roots my roots roots roots boots roots roots my roots roots roots, oh boots roots roots my roots. Some of us were born into our final destination, no need to wander restlessly from nation to nation. Let this be the proof of our indignation for a borderless world and man’s migration. Roots wandering roots, oh roots wandering roots. Gonna put on my walking boots till my roots find the earth that suits the fruits I’m trying to reap and I won’t stop until I have managed to fill this wandering mind to sleep. Wanderer, roots I’m just searching for my roots, just another wanderer. roots I’m just searching for my roots. Gonna put on my walking boots roots roots roots my roots roots roots, boots roots roots my roots roots roots, my boots roots roots my roots roots roots, boots roots roots my roots. Living life full I’ll be laughing at fear don’t try to make me stay. Mind is afar my heart will be near to my very first light of day. But now I’m blinded by what I can’t see it’s growing from inside of me I’ll be wandering through my reverie till my roots have something to say. Wanderer, roots I’m just searching for my roots, just another wanderer roots I’m just searching for my roots. Gonna put on my walking boots roots roots roots my roots roots roots, boots roots roots my roots roots roots, my boots roots roots my roots roots roots, boots roots roots my rooooooots, my boots roots roots my roots roots roots, boots roots roots my roots.

Hungrymen 03:05
I apologize for such a poor introduction, for I never came to cause no satisfaction see I’ve been reading through the lines, beneath your indignation. I’ll be chasing all the hungry men out of the town. Friday night we’re out and there are drinks to be paid, the Hungry men are on the streets and they are looking to get laid, I said, Friday night we’re out and we’re done being afraid, we’re gonna chase all of the Hungrymen out of the Town. I wanna be a woman free from Judgement on morality when fear resides inside of me of hungryman’s carnality. I wanna ba a woman free from the cockfest of society, to walk the streets by day or night and not loose my serenity. I won’t make no sacrifice for any man’s appetite, I don’t buy your words you won’t buy me with a drink or two and some flattery. I apologize for such a poor introduction, for I never came to cause no satisfaction see I’m a woman I’m not asking for no revolution. I’ll be chasing all the hungry men out of the town. I’m sorry sir for being rude, it’s not the time I’m in no mood, for layered words, hypocrisy, I’ve heard that nothing comes for free. Take a word of my advice if you don’t want to pay the price for hungryman’s carnality, try a little honesty. ‘Cause you know I won’t be satisfied with stories lies and smiling eyes, let this be the epitomy, risal for womanity. I apologize for such a poor introduction, for I never came to cause no satisfaction see I’m a woman I’m not asking for no revolution. I’ll be chasing all the hungry men out of the town. I apologize for such a poor introduction, for I never came to cause no satisfaction see I’m a woman I’m not asking for no revolution. I’ll be chasing all the hungry men / out of the town.

I'm waiting for the storm to pass, and I'm hoping that it won't last. Sitting here under the rain, and the rain is getting to my brain. Now it's raining inside of my head, and I don't know what they just said. I've been sitting here all day long, I'll be sitting here when night is come. When night has come. I'm waiting for a clear blue sky, I'll be waiting till the day that I die. And nothing's going to come my way, 'cause I'm sitting here everyday. Now rain is falling from my eyes, 'cause I chose a life that I despise. But I wont sit another day, to waste my life away. So Good morning everyone, say good morning to the sun, forget about yesterday, because you're well and truly on your way, with your blue shoes on, you're on your feet, this time say no to defeat, there's no way you can go wrong, if you just keep your head strong. Good morning, everyone it's a brand new day and you're on the run. Forget about what the others say because you're living life your way. With tea for two and stories to share, running wild with the wind in your hair. 20 odd years upon your skin and fire burning from within, from within, there's a fire in your heart. It's asking you to start, be on your way, don't waste another day, there's no time to loose for days, down in the blues, down in the blues, feeling abused when your down in the blues. Down in the blues, down in the blues, lost and confused when you're down in the blues.

Wolfman 04:54
I see hurt, and I see pain, I see lives turn upside down they'll never be the same. I see the flip of a coin to the unlucky side, soldier hold on and fight, it is going to be a rocky ride. And if I could, I would, I would turn it upside down and give a voice to the misunderstood, I'd let the men at the top, fall to the end of the line. Cause it is just the flip of a coin, when you thought you were doing just fine. Hey Mr Wolfman, from Babylon, the power of the people is rising strong. Mr Wolfman, from Babylon, listen to our song. Hey Mr Wolfman, from Babylon, if the world is for the rich then where do we belong, Mr Wolfman, from Babylon, Change is a coming it has been too long. Change is a coming it has been too long, change is a coming it has been too long. Change is a coming it has been too long, change is a coming it has been too long. Oooooh wolfman, man is down oooooh, wolfman, man is down Hey Mr Politician do you hear the cries of the victims falling under your political disguise, unemployment rise on the sidewalk he lies, waiting for a new life plan to devise, where people over profit come first and we hold on to what this life is worth. A humanistic revolution, for the consequence of corporate corruption. Tell me did you ever have to walk the streets at night to find a place to lay your head and hope to get a bite to eat from the generous, an honor and a duty, man to man, real life beauty. Wolfman, from Babylon, the power of the people is rising strong. Mr Wolfman, from Babylon, listen to our song. Hey Mr Wolfman, from Babylon, if the world is for the rich then where do we belong, Mr Wolfman, from Babylon, Change is a coming it has been too long. Change is a coming it has been too long, change is a coming it has been too long. Change is a coming it has been too long, change is a coming it has been too long. oooooh wolfman, man is down oooooh, wolfman, man is down oooooh, wolfman, man is down oooooh, wolfman, man is down

Footsteps 03:14
When you feel like your feet are falling, raise them up, for you were never taught to give up, got to take it to the top, pick it up, pick it up, pick it up, pick it up. Time to stop and time to think and time to keep keeping on, we’re on the edge, we’re on the brink, no knowing right from wrong. Time to live and time to be, time to find new eyes to see, unpack the load we’re on the road to chase reality. These footsteps in my mind, they never seem to go, I was never blind, there are just some things I wish I didn’t know, some things I wish I didn’t know. And you can walk the earth a thousand times, a thousand summer suns to rise, stars are near but here inside is where the thunder lies. Have I been so misunderstood, we all try to be better than good, embrace the faith in human race, the only way we would Get past another milestone, to start with one for one’s alone and join in one humanity, the start begins with me. These footsteps in my mind, they never seem to go I was never blind, there are just some things I wish I didn’t know, some things I wish I didn’t know. These footsteps in my mind, they never seem to go I was never blind, there are just some things I wish I didn’t know, some things I wish I didn’t know.

Borderless 03:06
We have our hands on the borderline, heaven save our souls don’t discourage our kind. Free we’re said to be but where do we fly if the sky is the limit but we limit the skies. From our feet to the sea to the sky I feel the beat is moving on, we will not be another slave to Babylon. We are only free beneath political wrongs and the weight of our nation is the beat of our song. So how many times will we cross these lines, to turn back around ‘cause it’s no one way ride. How many times before we realize. We’re all just building borders inside our minds. En avant en avant on avance sans fin. Pour reprendre la terre et les frontiers entre nos mains. Nous on vient pas d’ici on sait pas trop d’ou on vient dit moi c’est toi qui met les lois ou c’est toi qui quitte les biens.. De la terre de la terre d’ou on vient c’est les biens de la terre de la terre d’ou on vient C’est les lois de la terre qui nous appartient C’est les biens de la terre qui nous servent plus a rien. So how many times will we cross these lines, to turn back around ‘cause it’s no one way ride. How many times before we realize. We’re all just building borders inside our minds. Me pides un papel para identificaccion, me pones etiquette sin mirar el Corazon. Yo no soy marionette en el juego corrupcion de la tierra con frontera, que maldiccion. How many times will we cross these lines, to turn back around ‘cause it’s no one way ride. How many times before we realise. We’re all just building borders inside our minds.

Road dog 02:54
She's a road dog and she walks the road with the road lights in her eyes, she's a road dog road dog in disguise. She's a road dog and you'll find that there's no need to criminalize, this road life of mine on the road is where I feel most alive. Road dog in disguise, just another road dog in disguise. Run river run river run with me, down in the valley is where I'll be. Follow my soul and my history, these skies will be our clarity. Take to the left and take to the right, you can't catch me try as you might, run with the mind you're a dog in the night this fear inside is burning bright. Road dog in disguise, she's a road dog with a road dog's life you so despise. Road dog in disguise, she's a road dog and I see the judgement in your eyes. So open up your pretty brown eyes, see this life is full of compromise, live over strife and don't deny, hunger for life, nourish the skies, there are worlds suffocating, wanting wishing they'd set themselves the same mission, bitter words and blind decisions, empty pages, books unwritten. Road dog in disguise, she's a road dog with a road dog's life you so despise, She's a road dog in disguise, walk my way just for one day see the world through road dogs eyes. Said She's a road dog and she walks the road with the road lights in her eyes, she's a road dog road dog in disguise. She's a road dog and she walks the road with the road lights in her eyes, she's a road dog road dog in disguise. She's a road dog and she walks the road with the road lights in her eyes, she's a road dog road dog in disguise. She's a road dog and she walks the road with the road lights in her eyes, she's a road dog road dog in disguise. We walk in the skies

Gitana 04:42
Yo vivo en una casa en el cielo, mi cuerpo est bajo el mar, en el aire mi corrazon esta libre, en el aire, you puedo amar, you puedo amar. Pero Yo no soy gitana no yo no soy gitana, mira me la cara soy artista del alma, yo no soy gitana, no yo no soy gitana, y si yo no me quedo es que no me da la gana. Laisse moi m’envoler, n’essaie pas de me rattrapper Laisse moi m’envoler, je prends ma liberte Y amor yo no te creo cuando me dices ‘yo te veo’, Tu no me entendies en tus ojos yo lo leo, Lagrimas del mar, por causa de amar, lagrimas del sol, por ganas descaparse, no, no Yo no soy gitana no yo no soy gitana, mira me la cara soy artista del alma, yo no soy gitana, no yo no soy gitana, y si yo no me quedo es que no me da la gana Laisse moi m’envoler, n’essaie pas de me ratrapper Laisse moi m’envoler, je prends ma liberte
