Whitebird
Music and Lyrics by Peter Link

Whitebird
He fly so low to the water
Whitebird
He turn on the wind
Whitebird
Please take me on down the water
Whitebird
Let me fly again

Blackbird
He fly over the mountain
Blackbird
He turn on the wind
Blackbird
Please take me over the mountain
Blackbird
Won’t you let me fly again

All together now fly
All together now fly
Won’t you let me fly again

All together now
Fly
All together now
Fly
All together now
Fly

Bluebird
He sing in the forest
Silver bird he
Sing on the sea
Yellow bird he
Fly at the red sun
Light bird
Come fly with me

All together now fly
All together now fly
All together now fly with me

All together now
Fly
All together now
Fly
All together now
Fly

All together now
Fly

Leaving You
Music and Lyrics by Peter Link

I left the hills of Sicily behind me
I flew away from you
Across the Mediterranean moon
I closed my eyes and there you were
Deep inside me

But you're still down there
A speck upon the ocean
And I sit up here
A speck up in the sky
Here in mid air
Lost in the emotion of goodbye

Leaving you
Is just about the hardest thing
I'll ever do
Is just about the hardest thing
I've ever done
And oh God the leaving's just begun

Minutes ago
I held you in my arms
Just minutes ago
Under the Mediterranean moon
I'll never know
How I could walk away and leave you

But you're down there
A speck upon the ocean
And I'm up here
A speck up in the sky
And oh what a pair we are
Lost in the emotion of goodbye

Leaving you
Is just about the hardest thing
I'll ever do
Is just about the hardest thing
I've ever done
And oh God the leaving's just begun

You're moving on down there
Smiling through your tears
I fly so far away
And wrestle with my fears

Leaving you
Is just about the hardest thing
I'll ever do
Is just about the hardest thing
I've ever done
And oh God the leaving's just begun
Oh God the leaving's just begun
Oh God the leaving...

This Is All I Ask
Music and Lyrics by Peter Link

I am a quiet man
A gentle man
Oh yes I've tried to live
By God's own plan
Seeking the open sky
Giving me room to fly
On my own

And this is all I ask
For all I've known
Here on this tired earth
This rolling stone
Keeps me from rising up
From filling my rightful cup
On my own

So in my solitaire
My dark despair
I long for Thee
To take me there
Into the quiet sky
The open air
My liberty
This is all I ask of Thee
Yes this is all I ask

And when the time has come
When man shall stand
Each one and every one
As God's own man
Then will my soul have flown
Then will I roll the stone
On my own

And when the sky rolls back
And opens wide
And I can touch the other side
And when the soul of man
Is one again
Forever free
This is where I long to be
This is all I ask
Forever free
Yes this is all I ask

Song for a Bro'
Music and Lyrics by Peter Link

Hallelujah
We're goin' fishin' in the river of Jordan
Hallelu
We're gonna dance by the light of the moon
Hallelujah
Gonna shake the shadows off of the mornin'
Hallelu
We're gonna put the hope back in the bloom

Sometimes up
Sometimes down
All your troubles
Spinnin' you 'round
Spinnin' you 'round

Sometimes you
Seem to me
Trapped inside
And fighting yourself
Tryin' to break free

I'm beggin' you
Let yourself go
Give it all up
Pressure don't have any right to
Rule any part of you
Give it all up
Give it all up
Let yourself go brother

Nothin' is wrong
If ya' think right
Be a good friend to yourself
You're all that you need to be
Pressure don't have any claims on you
So let it all go
Just let yourself go
Just let yourself go
Just let yourself go

I know you yeah
You're nothin' till you prove you've made it
I know you
You're driven and you better be good
Yeah it's true
Every chance that came along you played it
But I know you
Ya' think you didn't do as good as you should

Now who's to say
What is true
Only God knows
God and you
God and you

Take your time bro'
See it through
Leave your worries
All behind you
All behind you

I'm beggin' you
Let yourself go
Give it all up
Pressure don't have any right to
Rule any part of you

Give it all up
Give it all up
Let yourself go brother

Nothin' is wrong
If ya' think right
Be a good friend to yourself
You're all that you need to be
Pressure don't have any claims on you
So let it all go
Just let yourself go
Just let yourself go
Just let yourself go

You and I
Have been a long way together
An' had our trials
If you and I
Could take a little time together
An' find our smiles
And let this burden go

Hallelujah
We're goin' fishin' in the river of Jordan
Hallelu
We're gonna dance by the light of the moon
Hallelujah
Gonna shake the shadows off of the mornin'
Hallelu
We're gonna put the hope back in the bloom
We're gonna put the song back in the tune
We're gonna dance by the light of the moon

Anthem
Music and Lyrics by Peter Link

She lives in my heart always
She lies in the long grass
She weeps and my world crumbles
But when she smiles
Then the sun dances with the moon

She’s warm on a cold morning
There lying beside me
I wake from my old slumber
And cherish this wrinkle in time
That’s over too soon

She is soooooooo sweet
She is soooooooo smooth indeed
Soooooooo tuned
To the birds in our window
She is all girl
All a whirl
And she’s all I’ve ever wanted
Never knowing what I wanted
Till she smiled at me

She laughs and the sky tumbles
She lights up my world
But when she leaves I am lost and humbled
Biding my time
Counting the days
Watching the clock
Checking the phone
Wishing the hours away
Till she comes home again
Till she comes home again

[Interlude]

I wake on this cold morning
And cling to that mem’ry
Of that girl in the grass
And her smile and her laughs
And the sun dancing with the moon

[Dance]

Words Upon the Wall
Music and Lyrics by Peter Link
Additional Lyrics by Mary Baker Eddy

I sit and ponder these words
Upon the wall
Burned into my memory
Throughout all these years
And the tears of a grateful heart
Fall through my life
As my joy springs forth
At the miracle of this humble simple truth

"Divine Love
Always has met
And always will meet
Every human need."
That's every human need
Words upon the wall
Words upon the wall

I sit and wonder what I would do
Without these words
These pure and simple certainties
That have carried me through
For the love that is in my heart
Fills up my life
And I stand here in awe
At the miracle of this humble simple truth

"Divine Love
Always has met
And always will meet
Every human need."
That's every human need

Words upon the wall
Calling out to me
Setting me free from my fears
Words upon the wall
Reassuring me
And setting me free through the years

Words upon the wall
"God is love"
Meeting all my needs
I stand in awe of these simple truths
These words upon the wall

He's One of Mine
Music and Lyrics by Peter Link

He walked up on the rolling sea
He turned water to wine
He sits here to the right of me
He's family
He's one of mine
He and his brother named Buddha
Moses too
And oh yes you
And you and you

He loved one of my wayward girls
She stuck with him right through
I watched as she took care of him
Miss Magdalene
She's one of mine
She and her brother Confucius
Laotzu
He's mine too
And oh yes you

[Interlude]

He died how could that come to him
I tried three days to get by
I just came to my senses then
It was not the end
And he would not die
He was my son my reflection
And after all
Who am I to just stand by
And let him die
He's one of mine
And I will not forsake my family
He's one of mine
I will stay with you all forever more
Time after time
That old devil will come in sympathy
But you're one of mine
And you do not belong to him

So anyway...
He kept workin' the streets for me
He leapt through time and through space
He swept on down the centuries
He healed your disease
With his infinite grace
He and that Mother Teresa
She healed too
Maybe she even healed you

[Interlude]

He's still into his savior phase
But I'm proud any father would be
Ah yes I could go on for days
Singing his constant praise
Down on my knees
Sing with me sister Mahailia
Caruso too
And I'd be proud to sing with you

I'm proud I guess that's the bottom line
They were all kids of mine
Arturo Rubenstein
That smart kid...
The one with the funny socks
Oh yeah Einstein
Way to go Calvin Klein

Even old Frankenstein
He was a kid of mine
(well, ya' can't win 'em all)
But there was this one design
And boy it worked out so fine
He was the best combined
Yes and he's one of mine

Watercolor
Music and Lyrics by Peter Link

Soft white cinnamon
Sufferin' blue
You're a strange design
You give me life and I give you you
And I'm lost in a watercolor

The water runs and the edges roll
And for that bittersweet second I lose control
Cinnamon crashes into sufferin' blue
And I'm lost in a watercolor

Images and imaginings blending in a tango
Carrying me with them
Where I've never been before
Dancing across the paper
In a maddening fandango
Swirling through the universe
Like a thunderstorm

I am falling falling
Help me I'm falling
I'm lost in a watercolor
I am falling falling
Help me I'm falling
I'm lost in a watercolor
In this confusion of light and shade
I can't find my way
Stumbling on though I'm unafraid
I am lost in a watercolor

This balance of chaos
Impossible yet
I'll take the chances I take
And get what I can get
Smoke dreams fade into ivory jade
And I'm lost in a watercolor

Images and imaginings blending in a tango
Carrying me with them
Where I've never been before
Dancing across the paper
In a maddening fandango
Swirling through the universe
Like a thunderstorm

I am falling falling
Help me I'm falling
I'm lost in a watercolor
I am falling falling
Help me I'm falling
I'm lost in a watercolor
