Girl 03:28
Girl, you better keep your mouth shut, hold your tongue Don’t say something we’ll make you regret Girl, you better keep your door shut, keep your door shut The devil’s out prowling, I bet Girl, you better keep your mind shut This book hasn’t failed us yet Girl, you know about keeping those legs shut, right? No, don’t make me get into it Girl, you better keep your mouth shut, hold your tongue Just listen to what we have to say Girl, you better keep your door shut, shut the lights out Get on your knees and pray Girl, you better keep that mind shut Stay in here with us where it’s safe Girl, you better keep those legs shut ’Til we tell you when it is okay And it’s never okay ‘Til we say it’s okay You ought to be ashamed Girl, you better keep your mouth shut, keep your door shut Keep your eyes shut Girl, you better keep your mind shut, keep your heart shut Keep ‘em shut And cover it up Girl, you turn those questions off, you’ve said enough Now listen to us And don’t fuss Girl, you know you’re better off when you’re not yourself And that’s what we want And we get what we want Better give us what we want

Simple Gifts 03:29
It’s a gift to be simple, it’s a gift to be free It’s a gift to come down where we ought to be And if we find ourselves in the place just right We’ll be in the valley of love and delight It’s a gift to be gentle, it’s a gift to be fair It’s a gift to wake and smell the morning air And everyday to walk on the path we choose It’s a gift we pray we’ll never come to lose When true simplicity is gained To bow and to bend we will not be ashamed To turn, turn will be our delight ’Til by turning and turning we come ‘round right It’s a gift to be loving, it’s the best gift of all Like a quiet rain, it blesses where it falls And if we have the gift we will truly believe It is better to give than it is to receive

Seekers 03:52
So far from home without a phone or a photo identification, just part of creation Breathing air with the ferns, and the fungus is alive We’re trying to thrive, oh, despite all the complications of civilization Tuck me into the moss on the hillside, I’ll sleep Just trying to keep my mind quiet without distraction, warm and open As I hear my heart beating in rhythm with the sky, thundering high and exciting The power of weather, in love more than ever with the knowledge I keep That the magic is real, I know ‘cause I feel it around me It’s humble and holy, it’s inside my body And my hungry hurt hopes for the help that is here I know I’m sincere in my searching, I’m patiently learning that everything’s turning So I turn, and I twirl, and I’m changing Boots on my feet, joining the street in its rhythm A spirit of movement under the pavement When our heels hit the ground and the pulse comes alive Fueling the lights in the windows We’re quietly living with loud aspirations That prove our existence while visions come true Knowing that you are beside me here in this city We are one body Breathing in, breathing out, life sustaining I know I”m sincere in my searching, I’m patiently learning that everything’s turning So I turn, and I twirl, and I’m changing

I’ve got peace like a river, I’ve got peace like a river I’ve got peace like a river in my soul I’ve got peace like a river, I’ve got peace like a river I’ve got peace like a river in my soul I’ve got joy like a fountain, I’ve got joy like a fountain I’ve got joy like a fountain in my soul I’ve got joy like a fountain, I’ve got joy like a fountain I’ve got joy like a fountain in my soul Swing low, sweet chariot Comin’ for to carry me home Swing low, sweet chariot Comin’ for to carry me home I’ve got love like an ocean, I’ve got love like an ocean I’ve got love like an ocean in my soul I’ve got love like an ocean, I’ve got love like an ocean I’ve got love like an ocean in my soul
