The highway bends like my lover's leg
Pulls me in like a wick draws a flame
She don't bother to remember my name
We don't talk of such things
I'll kiss you once
Baby, I'll kiss you twice
But I can't kiss you for the rest of your life
'Cause I'm not fit to be the man that makes you a wife
Baby, baby its just my foolish plight
Whatever road I may go down
If it bends, if it don't know how
I ain't stopped since I left my home town
And I can't slow down
I do what any man can to survive
Work a day or maybe even night
But I can't work inside for some 9-5
Honey not in this life
Whatever road I may go down
If it bends, if it don't know how
I ain't stopped since I left my hometown
And I can't slow down
Brown bodies
Bent at the waist
Frozen in a field as I drive by
In my unconscious pace
Freedom is not a state of mind
Nor is it a united state
Oh, and it sure ain't my escape
Whatever road I may go down
If it bends, if it don't know how
I ain't stopped since I left my hometown
And I can't slow down
No no no oh no
And I can't slow down
No oh no
Oh, lord
And I can't slow down
Fig Tree Lyrics – Brett Dennen
Oh baby won't you come with me
I'll tell you where I'm going
Over the meadow, down by the stream
Under the shade of a fig tree
So won't you come along
Won't you come along
Well, come with me
Underneath the shade
The shade of a fig tree
And it won't take long
It won't take long
'Till you'll be beside me
Shake it mama, shake
Shake me up in my tree
Well, shake me up in my tree
Oh the sunlight streaks across the meadow
Comes speaking through the canopy
The shadow suggests the shape of my interests
Under your fig leaf
So won't you come along
Won't you come along
Well, come with me
Underneath the shade
The shade of a fig tree
And it won't take long
It won't take long
'Till you'll be beside me
Shake it mama, shake
Shake me up in my tree
Shake me up in my tree
Mmm
Alright
So won't you come a long
Won't you come along
Well, come with me
Underneath the shade
The shade of a fig tree
And it won't take long
It won't take long
'Till you'll be beside me, baby
Shake it mama, shake
Shake me up in my tree
Yes, shake me up in my tree
Uprooting's heavy on the tree
And nature has been good to thee
You've been sittin' pretty with your prudence on your paw swingin'
I've been barking up the wrong tree
So won't you come along
Won't you come along
Well, come with me
Underneath the shade
The shade of a fig tree
And it won't, and it won't
And it won't take long
'Till you'll be beside me, baby
Shake it mama shake
Shake me up in my tree
Oh, shake me up in my tree
Shake me up in my tree
I'll tell you where I'm going
Over the meadow, down by the stream
Under the shade of a fig tree
So won't you come along
Won't you come along
Well, come with me
Underneath the shade
The shade of a fig tree
And it won't take long
It won't take long
'Till you'll be beside me
Shake it mama, shake
Shake me up in my tree
Well, shake me up in my tree
Oh the sunlight streaks across the meadow
Comes speaking through the canopy
The shadow suggests the shape of my interests
Under your fig leaf
So won't you come along
Won't you come along
Well, come with me
Underneath the shade
The shade of a fig tree
And it won't take long
It won't take long
'Till you'll be beside me
Shake it mama, shake
Shake me up in my tree
Shake me up in my tree
Mmm
Alright
So won't you come a long
Won't you come along
Well, come with me
Underneath the shade
The shade of a fig tree
And it won't take long
It won't take long
'Till you'll be beside me, baby
Shake it mama, shake
Shake me up in my tree
Yes, shake me up in my tree
Uprooting's heavy on the tree
And nature has been good to thee
You've been sittin' pretty with your prudence on your paw swingin'
I've been barking up the wrong tree
So won't you come along
Won't you come along
Well, come with me
Underneath the shade
The shade of a fig tree
And it won't, and it won't
And it won't take long
'Till you'll be beside me, baby
Shake it mama shake
Shake me up in my tree
Oh, shake me up in my tree
Shake me up in my tree

Blessed Lyrics – Brett Dennen
I welcome the sun
The clouds and rain
The wind that sweeps the sky clean and lets the sun shine again
This is the most magnificent life has ever been
Here is heaven and earth and the brilliant sky inbetween
Blessed is this life and I'm gonna celebrate being alive
Blessed is this life and I'm gonna celebrate being alive
Blessed is this life oh, and I'm gonna celebrate being alive
Blessed is this life oh, and I'm gonna celebrate being alive
I dwell in the darkness
I let in the light
I sleep in the afternoon and become the noise in the night
I trespass in temptation suffer in sacrifice
But I awake each day with the new sunrise
Blessed is this life oh, and I'm gonna celebrate being alive
Blessed is this life oh, and I'm gonna celebrate being alive
Blessed is this life oh, and I'm gonna celebrate being alive
Blessed is this life oh, and I'm gonna celebrate being alive
The clouds and rain
The wind that sweeps the sky clean and lets the sun shine again
This is the most magnificent life has ever been
Here is heaven and earth and the brilliant sky inbetween
Blessed is this life and I'm gonna celebrate being alive
Blessed is this life and I'm gonna celebrate being alive
Blessed is this life oh, and I'm gonna celebrate being alive
Blessed is this life oh, and I'm gonna celebrate being alive
I dwell in the darkness
I let in the light
I sleep in the afternoon and become the noise in the night
I trespass in temptation suffer in sacrifice
But I awake each day with the new sunrise
Blessed is this life oh, and I'm gonna celebrate being alive
Blessed is this life oh, and I'm gonna celebrate being alive
Blessed is this life oh, and I'm gonna celebrate being alive
Blessed is this life oh, and I'm gonna celebrate being alive
Desert Sunrise Lyrics – Brett Dennen
A desert sunrise, you warm my soul
painting me in shades of clay
covering me whole
and I'm a lizard, sunbathing in your radiance
Oh, I come out of hiding, so sweet
so sweet you are
if I could only have a taste
wrap my lips around your flavor
just because you are you
just because you are, so beautiful
and I've been waiting all this life
in the company of one
and I know I am young
but I don't want to be alone
if you could only just
consider the two of us
and I know darling
I could be so good to you
I see you rising
on the horizon
bringing light into the day
and I'm coasting on your rays
when I awoke, you spoke through the mist of the mystic bliss
casting shadows
on all my dismal yesterdays
do you remember that you told me, darling
that I was so real
I tell you all my tears for you are real
and we'll cross that bridge again some day
I know we will
I hope we will
desert sunset, a lullaby
if I could give it all to you
if you'd only let me try
sing so sweetly, it's my only wish
music drips from your lips like sweet sips of a summer's kiss
summer raindrops are precious, tongues twist
and I've been waiting all this life
in the company of one
and I know I am young
but I don't want to be alone
if you could only just
consider the two of us
I know darling
I could be so good to you
I see you rising, on the horizon
bringing light into the day
and I'm coasting on your rays
when I awoke and you spoke through the mist of a mystic bliss
casting shadows
on all my dismal yesterdays
do you remember that you told me, darling
that I was so real
I tell you all my tears for you are real
we'll cross that bridge again some day
I know we will
I hope we will
desert moonrise, into the night
before we lay our heads
I wish to walk under the splendorous starlight
sing so sweetly, it's the sweetest sound
and I've become weak in the knees
and I drop down and kiss the ground
and all my cares lie far below
in this earth I wish to die
in this hearth my fire grows
painting me in shades of clay
covering me whole
and I'm a lizard, sunbathing in your radiance
Oh, I come out of hiding, so sweet
so sweet you are
if I could only have a taste
wrap my lips around your flavor
just because you are you
just because you are, so beautiful
and I've been waiting all this life
in the company of one
and I know I am young
but I don't want to be alone
if you could only just
consider the two of us
and I know darling
I could be so good to you

bringing light into the day
and I'm coasting on your rays

All We Have Lyrics – Brett Dennen
All we have is love
oh, we're growing
faster than we ever could have dreamed
and our bellies are bulging
we're gonna burst right through our seams
it's got us all in competition
for wealth and recognition
globalization I say's a contradiction
for we can't keep paving over this world
we won't all fit in
all that we have is hope and love
so don't you worry child
don't you worry 'bout a thing
(in the night?)
but those can lift us up
so we can rise above
so we can rise above
and all that we have is hope and love
so don't you worry child
don't you worry 'bout a thing
(in the night?)
but those can lift us up
so we can rise
so we can rise above the madness
and there's enough wealth for everyone
but some have the most
and most have some
and there's enough food for us all to flourish
tell me why are so many malnourished
you say this weakness in an empty pocket, no
and I'll tell you this weakness in an empty heart
and you say there's strength in the power to control
and I'll tell you no, there's strength in only love and compassion
all that we have is hope and love
so don't you worry child
don't you worry 'bout a thing
(in the night?)
but those can lift us up
so we can rise above
so we can rise above
and all that we have is hope and love
so don't you worry child
don't you worry 'bout a thing
(in the night?)
but those can lift us up
so we can rise
so we can rise above the madness
soon we'll find our own way home
'cause we all need a little healing sometimes
soon we'll find our own way home
'cause we all need a little healing
so give love
it's the only thing that heals you
come on sisters, give it to your brothers
so give love
it's the only thing that heals you
cause we all need a little healing
so give love it's the only thing that heals you
come on brothers, give it to your sisters
so give love it's the only thing that heals you
'cause we all need a little healing
and I can rest to show you that love will always cure you
no matter what your sickness is
no matter what hurts you
so give love it's the only thing that cures you
we all need a little healing
and if you give it, I have learned
it'll all be returned
if you only give love
if you only just give your love
all that we have is hope and love
so don't you worry child
don't you worry 'bout a thing
(in the night?)
but those can lift us up
so we can rise above
so we can rise above

By & By Lyrics – Brett Dennen
Listen close, as close as I am to you
like the bell of liberty, I'll ring a sound that's true
and days go by and seasons too
in time our love may digress with the words we can renew
oh, i'll tell you that I
I love you by and by
I don't know if I'd survive
without a friend like you in my life
and I know words can be the worst to pervey
how it is I feel for you, it's hard for me to say
but if we keep it simple, I think it's better that way
tingled words tend to lead my messages astray
oh, i'll tell you that I
I love you by and by
I don't know if I'd survive
without a friend like you in my life
this web we weave
holds us hand in hand
and if we loosen our grips
we may weaken these strands
so lets reinforce our love and let it echo through the land
and if we don't we may find ourselves washed up with the sand
oh, i'll tell you that I
I love you by and by
I don't know if I'd survive
without a friend like you in my life
like the bell of liberty, I'll ring a sound that's true
and days go by and seasons too
in time our love may digress with the words we can renew
oh, i'll tell you that I
I love you by and by
I don't know if I'd survive
without a friend like you in my life
and I know words can be the worst to pervey
how it is I feel for you, it's hard for me to say
but if we keep it simple, I think it's better that way
tingled words tend to lead my messages astray
oh, i'll tell you that I
I love you by and by
I don't know if I'd survive
without a friend like you in my life
this web we weave
holds us hand in hand
and if we loosen our grips
we may weaken these strands
so lets reinforce our love and let it echo through the land
and if we don't we may find ourselves washed up with the sand
oh, i'll tell you that I
I love you by and by
I don't know if I'd survive
without a friend like you in my life
