Take a look at these hands
Take a look at these hands
The hand speaks
The hand of a government man
Well, I'm a tumbler
Born under punches
I'm so thin
All I want is to breathe
I'm too thin
Won't you breathe with me?
Find a little space
So we move in-between
In-between it
And keep one step ahead of yourself
Don't you miss it, don't you miss it
Some of you people just about missed it
Last time to make plans
And I'm a tumbler
I'm a government man
Never seen anything like that before
Falling bodies tumble 'cross the floor
Well, I'm a tumbler
When you get to where you wanna be
Thank you! Thank you!
When you get to where you wanna be
Well, don't even mention it
Oh, take a look at these hands
They're passing in-between us
Take a look at these hands
Take a look at these hands
You don't have to mention it
No, thanks
I'm a government man
And the heat goes on and the heat goes on
And the heat goes on and the heat goes on
And the heat goes on where the hand has been
And the heat goes on and the heat goes on
And the heat goes on
I got time
And the heat goes on
And the heat goes on and the heat goes on
And the heat goes on, where the hand has been
And the heat goes on and the heat goes on
I’m not a drowning man
And I'm not a burning building
I'm a tumbler
Drowning cannot hurt a man
Fire cannot hurt a man
Not the government man So we move in-between

You Ain't Goin' Nowhere
02:52

Clouds so swift
Rain won't lift
Gate won't close 'cuz the railing's froze
Get your mind off wintertime
'Cuz you ain't goin' nowhere
Ooh whee ride me high
Tomorrow's the day my bride's gonna come
Oh whoa are we gonna fly
Down in the easy chair
I don't care how many letters they sent
The mornin' come -- the mornin' went
Pick up your money and pull up your tent
'Cuz you ain't goin' nowhere
Chorus
Buy me a flute and a gun that shoots
Tailgates and substitutes
Strap yourself to a tree with roots
"Cuz you ain't goin' nowhere

Walking and Falling

I wanted you
And I was looking for you
But I couldn’t find you
I wanted you
And I was looking for you
All day
But I couldn’t find you
I couldn’t find you
You’re walking
And you don’t always realize it
But you’re always falling
With each step, you fall forward slightly
And then catch yourself
From falling
Over and over, you’re falling
And then catching yourself from falling
And this is how you can be
Walking and falling
At the same time

Discipline Is Love

Discipline is Love
Discipline is Love
Love of who you are
Love for what you do
Discipline is self-respect
and the courage to face reality
Discipline is not rigid
It is flexible
Flexible
It requires discernment, discretion, and dedication to the truth
Discipline is Love
Discipline is Love

Dancing After Midnight
Burning up the moonlight
Everything is alright
Take it from the top
Got to remember
Might be an ember
But it’s still burnin’
Burnin’ with a banked flame
Not the same
The fire is low
Got to keep blowin’ just to keep it all goin’
A glowing’ coal down in my soul
So sweet
Just a beat
Goes so fast
Got to make it last
But it’s still burnin’
Still burnin’
Dancing After Midnight
Burning up the moonlight
Everything is alright
Let’s go
Hey
Hey
Hey
Hey
Hey
Hey
Hey
Hey
Take it to the bottom
Got to remember
Might be an ember
But it’s still burnin’
Take me to the river
Let’s go
Here we go now
Let’s go
Hey
Hey
Hey
Hey
Hey
Hey
Hey
Hey
Take it to the bottom
Gotta keep learning’ to keep it burnin’
Make it hot
‘Cuz you forgot
What the fire means
In your blood, your genes, your DNA
When it goes away the world stops turning’
So keep it burnin’
Fan the flame
Say the name
Of love, desire, of holy fire
‘Cuz it’s still burnin
It’s still burnin’
Still burnin’
Still burnin’
Dancing After Midnight
Burning up the moonlight
Everything is alright
Take it from the top
Dancing After Midnight
Burning up the moonlight
Everything is alright
Take it from the bottom
Take it to the bridge
Hey

Red Rain

Red rain is coming down
Red rain
Red rain is pouring down
Pouring down all over me
I am standing up at the water's edge in my dream
I cannot make a single sound as you scream
It can't be that cold, the ground is still warm to touch
Hey, we touch
It’s so quiet, sensing that storm
Red rain is coming down
Red rain
Red rain is pouring down
Pouring down all over me
Well I've seen them buried in a sheltered place in this town
They tell you that this rain can sting and look down
I see no blood, see no signs of pain
No pain
And no blood — only this rain
Red rain is coming down
Red rain
Red rain is pouring down
Pouring down all over me
Red rain
Oh-oh, putting the pressure on much harder now
To return again and again
(Red rain), just let the red rain splash you
(Red rain), let the rain fall on your skin
(Red rain), I come to you, defenses down
With the trust of a child
Red rain coming down
Red rain
Red rain is pouring down
Pouring down all over me
And I can't watch anymore
No more denials
It's so hard to lay down in all of this
Red rain is coming down
Red rain
Red rain
It’s pouring down
Red rain is pouring down
Pouring down all over me
Red rain
Over me, over me
Red rain
In the red, red sea
Red rain
