And I think to myself in a voice that only I can hear
And I hear myself talk to myself no vibrations in my ears and I
You know I find it weird
To know that entirely without sound, creation surrounds, confounds and inspires
From the grassroots to the spires
Whether you're changing tyres or a Lord Esquire
You can fan your own flame, become your own favourite rhymer, ignite your own fire because it's all inside you
Yes it's all inside you
Because inside you
I see epics of balladry and epics of humanity
Epics like you and me, they are epic just like the air we breathe
Epic like the holy trees and holy harmonies
I hold your creativity and your light there close to me
Because it's the energy of this artistry
It sweeps me along on a nightly breeze
through failing light and warming tea
it shocks, enlightens and obsesses me
And you see it, when you feel it
And you feel it when you hear it
See I believe in these poetic descriptions
They might liberate us from our private prisons of perception
because we can go on and on, in to the daily struggles song
and on and on marked by time's constant gongs
but in the telling of the stories we are forced to be humble
Hopefully you understand that's why I write, to feel the universal rumble

I can take you anywhere
I can take you anywhere
As long as you're there
As long as you're there with me
I've been away for a while
I left my world behind
You lay cradled in tears
You broke the bond we shared
You left me unprepared to face the facts
But I don't care
But I don't care
I can take you anywhere
I can take you anywhere
As long as you're there
As long as you're there with me
Your touch, it led me astray
Your taste became my drug
I couldn't get enough until you stopped
But I don't care
But I don't care
I can take you anywhere
I can take you anywhere
As long as you're there
As long as you're there with me
Lyrics by Joe Little and Stacey Doherty

Oh my love
I don't know if I wanna know where we're going now
Oh in my dreams
I don't know if I wanna grow as a memory
Oh in the night
I don't know if I'm ready for where you're taking me
But in your eyes
There's something right like a satellite calling down on me
Through the night
To the morning light, to the sunrise
To the sea
To a place we know, it will feel like home
Out of sight
To the morning light, to the sunrise
You and me
To a place we know, it will feel like home
and you'll wait for me
Oh my love
I don't know if I wanna know where we're going now
And my dreams
I don't know if I wanna fade as a memory
All of our days
Getting closer to what we know as a perfect place
And to hell with the chase
What we want, we always had, it will set us free
Through the night
To the morning light, to the sunrise
To the sea
To a place we know, it will feel like home
Out of sight
To the morning light, to the sunrise
You and me
In a place we know, it will feel like home
and you'll wait for me

Hold my hand
Take a moment
You're safe right here
Hold your head high
Take a moment
Take a year
Hope's not lost yet
I'm right here
Hold my hand
If you want it
You'll wait right here
And soon you'll fly
Take a moment
Take a year
Hope's not lost yet
I'm right here

Motherland, fatherland, homeland and home soil
On my home turf by sand and surf with my family, a culture, a history and story and a people
Colonised
Independent now
So now outpost, now trading posts, with coasts and castles
And Castles overlooking rolling seas with parapets above dungeons
Walls harbouring secrets and desperate etchings and gateways
And the door of no return
But I am now returning
So look back, turn around, step forward, forward march
March on with ancestral acceptance and blessings
Sing
Sing the stories that built these cities
Sit with souls that sank at sea and share in a history
Stand confident in your survival
To be a mind moving through liniage to back before the loss we can extract only what is of use from this pain
This our chemical change
So repeat, maintain, chill in the heart of heat
Repeat the prayer that is hidden in rhythm and beat
Repeat, refrain as the cycle completes again and again
As I lay claim to Motherland, Fatherland, Homeland and Home
Find home
Come home
Make a way home
Fly away home
Lyrics written by Repeat Beat Poet

Take the time to see
The underneath
The life beneath the surface
Come with me
And try to free
A life we can make perfect
The shapes and colours of love
They keep me going
They keep you on my mind
Come with me and we'll release
The life beneath the surface
