Song Lyrics:
Organic Love by Peter Buck
Verse 1
Souls stood still in the land
With no fear.
There was too much cluttering of minds
To get near.
We believed the answers were known
Could never feel
A love so real…
…unchanging.
Verse 2
Wind swept over the hills
And valley.
Swirling thoughts and whirling away
The folly.
With the landscape bare I could see
The promise of…
Organic love.
Chorus
Western wind
Blowing blues away
Wiping clean the slate
For what come what may.
Western wind
Charged from heav’n above
Now we soar through life
With organic love…
…a blessing.
Verse 3
Casting fate to the wind
Uplifting.
Gliding loose of the burdensome chains
Refreshing.
Flowing free and blooming within
Fruition of…
Organic love.
Chorus
See if I Cried by Unique Cramer-Buck
Verse 1
I could have sworn when he smiled at me
He’d never leave, he’d always come home to me.
I wish I’d have noticed when his smile faded away.
I could have seen what was coming my way.
Verse 2
It hurt, when he walked away
He left no note, no sorry, not even a messy display.
He didn’t even stay, to see if I’d cry
He already knew the damage he could do.
Chorus
Baby why, baby why
Why didn’t you stay to see if I cried,
Cause maybe then, you would have seen
How much I care.
Verse 3
It’s been some months, since he walked away.
I cried my tears, fought my fears, I knew I had to get on my way.
Ya’ll gotta know, he tried calling me.
I told him off, I was done, I hung up on him,
Crying out to me.
Chorus 2
Baby why, baby why
Why’d you saying those things, you’re making me
cry.
Baby please, baby please
Be that old girl and come home to me.
Baby why, baby why
Why are you saying those things, you’re making me
cry.
I really don’t care
Cry rivers and streams,
I’m doing just fine spendin’ time with me.
Steppin’ Up rap by Xavier Buck
Lookin around to the people of my sound
I’m bound for greatness, that’s what I what I found
But if I look around at the world beside me
And I see how many people fallin surround me
Can’t fall into the trap, attack the track with the heart of a lion
Thank God for my flow, I’m headed to Zion
Give me hope, give me rope
To get out flames that I scope
Give me peace, give me wings
To release and be free
Fightin for every kid who ever had a dream
Fightin for man or woman who ever believed
People want money and people want clothes
People want fame, a four leaf clove
But I blow into my dreams, do nothing but believe
Cuz can’t ain’t a word, I’m nothing but free
Around me people just giving up
People thinkin that life is just too much
Don’t shackle your dreams, release your cuffs
Simply put,
I’m just steppin’ up
