Lines of Longitude

Long ago they mapped the coast
with secants and astronomy,
sketching in the ragged edge
where dry land meets the open sea.
I'm amazed that hey could draw-
with such a sense of accuracy-
something that they never saw
from above in its entirety.
They sketched the lines of longitude
extended the equator to include
all that they had missed before.
They drew what they knew and then more.
Now we know the whole wide world
from flying far above it all,
but I see a different way
this map that's on my roommates wall
Why does the north look at the south as empty hand and open mouth?
Why does the east eye the west while both mull over who knows best?
They sketch the lines of longitude,
extended the equator to include
all that they had missed before.
They drew what they knew and then more.
I used to think that all the lines upon a map were tried and true
but then I learned that it all depends upon
your point of view
One day you will take very map that you have ever known
You'll take the paper and the pen and then
you will draw your own.
You'll sketch the lines of longitude,
extend the equator to include
all that you had missed before.
You'll draw what you know and then more.
You'll sketch the lines of longitude,

all that you had missed before.
You'll draw what you know and then more.

Shine
03:24

Each and every one of us has an internal sun.
will it wait unknown or will it shine for everyone?
Shine out loud. Shine out loud. Shine out loud. Shine out.
Each and every one of us has something we love to do
when we share it then we let that light shine through.
Shine out loud. Shine out loud. Shine out loud. Shine out.
This feeling, like I don't really know what I'm doing,
like I don't really know where I'm going.
I'm stumbling around in the dark.
Remember, that all you really need is an ember.
Because even the largest fire
begins with a single spark.
Each and every one of us just wants someone to see.
See the promise in the person who we long to be.
Shine out loud. Shine out loud. Shine out loud. Shine out.
This feeling, like I don't really know what I'm doing,
like I don't really know where I'm going.
I'm stumbling around in the dark.
Remember, that all you really need is an ember.
Because even the largest fire
begins with a single spark.
Each and every one of us has an internal sun.
will it wait unknown or will it shine for everyone?

Green or Gold

We traveled coast to coast across the country
in search of fertile ground.
We found some land in Ulster county,
fifty-five acres on the west side of town.
I guess I'm one of those lost souls. I guess I'm one of those lost souls.
I never dreamed in green or gold, or to have is to hold.
I like to make a place in the soil for the promise of a seed,
and watch the shoots reach for the sky.
This is all that I will ever need.
I guess I'm one of those lost souls. I guess I'm one of those lost souls.
I never dreamed in green or gold, or to have is to hold.
The radio and the TV say more leave farming every day.
But I love living off the land,.
I wouldn't have it any other way.
Because I'm one of those lost souls. Because I'm one of those lost souls.
I never dreamed in green or gold, or to have is to hold.
Yes I am one of those lost souls. Yes I am one of those lost souls.
I dream in leaves of green, sun of gold, these are treasures I know.
These are treasures I know. These are treasures I know.

Shuffle on the concrete broken and cracked
-nothing ventured, nothing gained-
All the way there and now you're back
-nothing ventured, nothing gained-
Asking all the people who you know
-nothing ventured, nothing gained-
do you hold on or do you let go?
-nothing ventured, nothing gained-
Nothing ventured, nothing gained.
When you want it so much, its hard to explain.
It brings so much joy, so much pain.
Nothing ventured, nothing gained.
So many times you stumble and fall
-nothing ventured, nothing gained-
You start to wonder if its worth it at all
-nothing ventured, nothing gained-
But you do what you love though you don't (always) know why
-nothing ventured, nothing gained-
because the greatest failure is never to try.
Nothing ventured, nothing gained.
When you want it so much, its hard to explain.
It brings so much joy, so much pain.
Nothing ventured, nothing gained.
Nothing ventured, nothing gained.
When you want it so much, its hard to explain.
It brings so much joy, so much pain.
Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

Lovely

I know you have seen trouble
and I know you have seen sorrow
but you share your time generously
and that's why I think you're lovely.
Its the pain you're not afraid to show
about the news you didn't want to know.
But you, you live so honestly
and that's why I think you're lovely.
Lovely is as lovely does.
Its not the way that you look
- its the way that you live.
Its not something you have -
it is all you give.
So, so many others
look to billboards and magazine covers.
But you, you live so bravely,
and that's why, I think you're lovely.
Lovely is as lovely does.
Its not the way that you look
- its the way that you live.
Its not something you have -
it is all you give.
