Open up to one more day of love
Please take more than just enough
Coz we’ve got a lot!
Open up to all these desert souls
Please take all your heart can hold
Coz we’ve got a lot!
Put 12x love inside your cup
Lean into us, drink it bottoms up
We’re just gonna love you up
Coz we’ve got love .
Open up
To fast four nights alone
You can hold it on your own
Coz you’ve got love
Open up
May the holy earth reveal
What your heart dares not to feel
That you are enough
Put 12x love inside your cup
Lean into us, drink it bottoms up
We’re just gonna love you up
We’ve got love x 3

Cat Beckers - Autumn

When the days are getting shorter
The autumnwind is blowing colder
The sun is rising lower
The woods are burning red
When the trees are turning bald
The mornings are soft but cold
When the birds are flying south
The rain is falling down so loud
Chorus:
And people think that autumn brings sadness
but it’s not true
‘cause it makes sure that all can become new
And people think that autumn brings
Darkness but it’s not right
‘cause it makes us search for light
When the leaves are turning brown
the world is slowing down
and everything is growing smaller
but into the deep
When the weather is having moods
it’s time to think about our roots
And the spirit all underneath
is growing bigger inside me
CHORUS
And in our hearts and in our souls
we all really know
what life keeps on moving
like the earth around the sun
And deep inside
we all really feel
That life like the seasons
Keeps on turning like a wheel

Soon we’ll be getting in our cars
We’ll be driving home with 12 open hearts
And tears in our eyes
Embrace after Embrace
Trying to make the most of these very last days
Before we say our goodbyes
But before we go:
Let me love you with this song
Let me tell you from the deepest place I know
That you’re not alone
Let me love you with this song
Let me thank you for the kindness you have shown
I know I’m not alone
Let me love you with this song
And if we ever meet again
Know that you will always be a beautiful friend
And though we leave in the morning
If you should ever feel alone
You know where I am just get me on the phone
I’ll keep on singing
Coz you are not alone…..
How do we take these trees and stones
Back to the people on the phone
What does it mean to go back home?
But before you go
Let me love you with this song
Let me tell you from the deepest place I know
That you’re not alone
Let me love you with this song
Let me thank you for the kindness you have shown
I know I’m not alone
Let me love you with this song

Every step I take along this way
It writes the story of my life
makes a whole new day
filled with blessings and with joy
filled with everything I need
to feel alive
Every turn I take makes feet throw up dust
Changes the road only created by trust
Makes every breath so easy to take
Makes my heart more than ever awake
I feel alive
Chorus:
This is what life is all about
Moving and staying
Breathing and praying
This is what life is all about
Loving and caring
Giving and sharing
Every time I give my heart
to a stranger it is each time a start
of a story of things inbetween
of a world in a place unseen
I feel alive
CHORUS
Giving my heart away
My soul just wants to stay
My eyes don’t know where to go
My feet they follow yours
My legs they keep on going
The whole world is exposing its beauty to my soul
So guide my feet along this road
Carry me o o carry me home
Now bring me to the shelter of my soul
O take me home

Spirit of Love
Am I good enough to bind you to my soul?
Have I done the work? Do I really deserve to be part of the whole?
Out on these sidelines I have made my home
Oh Michelle I feel so alone
Out on a skype, trying to stay in your life but love is different
Love changed love to love as love makes love to love
Away from these sidelines I can taste the truth
Oh Michelle love changes even you
Love changed love to love as love makes love to love
Oh Michelle may love make love to you, may love make love to you
Spirit of love,
I am good enough to let love love me whole.

I may seem young but I’ve walked a 1000 miles
I may seem old but my heart is still wild
I may seem lost but I lightened my load
‘Cause it ain’t about the destination
It’s about the road
Chorus:
So what is the path that you choose to walk in life
Are you waiting in the darkness?
Are you looking for the light?
Are you ready to fight the lions in your head?
Or are you waiting till you’re dead?
I may seem poor but my soul is filled with gold
I don’t know much but I got stories to be told
I may seem wandering not knowing where to go
But I got a goal hey I’m just going slow
CHORUS
So I’ll walk my path
No matter fast or slow
‘Cause it ain’t about my age
Or about what I don’t know
It is rather about that I do what I love
And making real what I’m dreaming of
So this is the path that I choose to walk in life
I’m not waiting in the darkness I am looking for the light
I am ready to fight the lions in my head
No I’m not waiting till I’m dead

Yo we got the North, the South, the east, the west
Ask me real nice and I’ll tell you what is best –
In the South, you know, I feel my heart in my chest
But now I’m feeling sad so we are approaching the West,
IN the North I’m busy, so there’s no time to rest –
And with the East you know
I’m chillin with the ephemeral guest.
I’m the Holy cowboy
I’ll tell you right now boy – put me in
the water baby
got me sayin’ real
wow joy
With the earth
Its tearth, rollin
Round in the dirt
I take off shirt –
Watch the dark
Or you mght get hurt!
And in the air I care,
You know I’m combing my hair –
I take care of
My cubs cuz I’m a grizzly bear
A judge of my people
Trying to work out whats fair
I’m looking straight ahead
Cuz I know its right there
With fire its dire,
Comin down to the wire –
Get funk flowin through me
Like Im in the shire –
Whalin like a coyote
Mixed with the town cryer.
Im inspired baby –
My souls getting dryer
Goin round again like
An old rubber tire.
Im feelin like a child
Been playin for a while – Im getting
Real loud so better
Turn up the durt and
Flowin like the Nile
And struttin with style
Cure with a bite
Like a baby crocodile
And now I got lots of questions like a teenager
Wanna hang out? You can
Try me on my pager –
I feeling risky now
So how about a wager? Stayin
Up real late
Cuz it’s a hard core rager –
Now Im all grown up
So I can fill my own cup – got left overs?
Just grab the tup – per ware
All truth no dare
Im workin real hard and aint worse for ware
But now Im getting real old, yeah Im crossin the line –
Don’t do what your told and your gunna be fine
Have some lemonade
Just jokin its mine –
Just jokin please have some
But get to the back of the line.
Is the place of no tryin –
Just inspiration
And dyin – but Ill
Be born again –
As that baby whose crying.

With Holy Rock’n’Roll

Father, did you know that your daughter
Is praying for you in these hills
Father she’s carried you this far but no further
You had a chance to open up your heart to her
Could have promised your daughter
You’ll always be there if she wants to
Could have loved the woman she’s become
Could have been a father to this one
Instead you claim she’s to blame
While your holding back your love
Father, I wish you could see your daughter
And how she shows up for this world.
Don’t bother, she’s ours now, your daughter
A child of the desert she’s become
Now she’s our precious one. Father

Let me tell you ‘bout my sweetie
Yeah you can call them Creature
Turnin’ 28 today yeah they’re tonights feature.
Creature Refrain x 4
Creatures mom comes from the Andes
Or so called “Peru”
Their tribe is called Wanka
Yeah that’s the name that’s true
Pinar means “Spring” in Turkish
Pine trees en Espano
This is just a glimpse
Of all the sides to their soul
Which reminds me yeah about that,
Creatures gifted in the West
Native to the underworld
Tattooed on their chest
Non verbal communication
Symbolic conversation
When Pinar speaks in Council
I see layers to creation
So I am wondering Robby
If you’ve got something to say
About our dear desert creature
In your Robby like way
ROBBY
Pinar – I am lovin who you are you’re a creature
Always speaking from the heart when I meet cha, Honest to God
You’re a soul tracker and a teacher
Your shit is hot I feel it in my gut
When you speak of inequalities, you
Answer them with peace, you call on all your
Ancestors, on top of that you talk to trees
You like the cutest motha nature lover
Ain’t nobody gonna mess these these
Now can I get a happy birthday PLEASE
Creature Refrain x 4
Yo yo Sam
I wanna have what you’ve got
Mixin in the rhythm
Yeah drop it like it’s hot
SAM VERSE
Okay Pinar, So I don’t know you well
But I can tell easily that you cool as hell
Ringin true like a be deep azule
Like a well, realizing lost power
From older cultures that tell
And our group we gellin
Do you creature things gets our hearts all wellin
Oppressive power structures they feelin
Like Pine nuts we shellin
I-N-Y-O I know that spellin
Fresh to death like a ripe watermelon
I’ll buy what they sellin’
And that’s the story I’m tellin
Creature Refrain x 4
Now lets call in creatures posse
From the non human world;
A gray fox, a raven,
Plus a wacky shaman squirrel.
We cant forget the Ancestors
They got creatures back
Reachin through your heart
These spirits cut you no slack
Grief and praise their music
You are their flute
I know baby its painful
But to us you’re a root…
…of symbolic conversation
Cultural transformation
When you speak in council
We see more layers to creation
Creature Refrain x 4
I love you golden one.

She gets the feeling when he walks into the room
Doesn’t want to kiss him but that is what they do
Oh he’s looking at her like he wants to get it on
She shuts down her holy temple and does just what he wants
It’s not pretty – falling out of love
She keeps on pushing like she doesn’t have a choice
She tells him nothing like she doesn’t have a voice
Oh it’s for the children is what she tells herself
Meanwhile her beautiful body is sitting lonely on the shelf
It’s not pretty – falling out of love.
Desert Rain, she’s comin’ clean
May she gently be awakened from this dream
Make her whole. Set her Free.
She just needs to feel a little more like she
Hear her prayer calling out across the desert here.
See this woman worthy of love (3x)
She’s so pretty opening to love.
