AUDIO ONLY. Happy Rhodes - Equipoise - 05 - "Save Our Souls" (1993)
Lyrics:
Save Our Souls (6:16)
We give to you a disc of gold
It represents the dreams we hold
We'll tell our children what to do
We'll show them how to listen for you
Please feel free to call
Our wheatfields await you all
We are the number one offender
Of specieism and yet
Here we are reaching out for aliens
Looking for our salvation
Pity our emptiness
Save our souls
Save our souls
Save our souls
We think that we're superior
To every living thing
It can be lonely at the top
So we look for higher praise to sing
Won't you just say hello
We'll give you a cable show
We have weapons to intimidate
You if you look afright
Come on down and see our
Zoos and refugee camps
Ain't it worth your time
Pity our emptiness
Save our souls
Save our souls
Save our souls
Save our souls
Save our souls
SOS
SOS
Please feel free to call
Our wheatfields await you all
We are the number one offender
Of specieism and yet
Here we are reaching out for aliens
Looking for our salvation
Pity our emptiness
Save our souls
Save our souls
Save our souls
Save our souls
Save our souls
SOS
SOS
Well, there's a beacon in the sky
Meant to catch their eye

AUDIO ONLY. Happy Rhodes - Building The Colossus - 01 - Hold Me (1994)
Lyrics:
Hold Me (4:40)
Lifetimes, I wait to be strong
But its cool with you around
Your hands are just big enough
To keep me off the ground
With all the confidence I have
It seems I could go forever
But forever has no rest-stops
And my endurance sometimes fails
Hold me, hold me, hold me in your arms
Can you tell me how Im gonna make it
Facades can be tricky things
No matter the mortar
Life has its own abrasives
To wear them down before long
I am so big in my head
Its hard not to feel let down
What to do, what to do now that I know
Oh how really scared I am
Hold me, hold me, hold me in your arms
Can you tell me how Im gonna make it
Hold me, hold me, hold me in your arms
Can you tell me how Im gonna make it
Hold me, hold me, hold me in your arms
Can you tell me how Im gonna make it
Hold me, hold me, hold me in your arms
Can you tell me how Im gonna make it
Hold me, hold me, hold me in your arms
Can you tell me how Im gonna make it
