 WE DON'T AGREE Karen Lewis We don't agree You want the bounty of this land I want to heal it You want to grow in strength I want to seek The strength within We don't agree How can we heal this rift between us By calling names To weaken each other By gathering others to our side So you can see We don't agree Go deeper Deep beneath the home's foundation  Is the earth Deep beneath the clothes and the bangles Lies the heart Deep beneath the surfaces Where we all want to live Where we all want to grow Where we all want to love And be free.

 WHALE SONG Karen Lewis Big, grooved, and black, They come from the north Twelve thousand humpacks Are seen from these [hores To the tropical playground  And whale nursery They come for the winter to Hawa-eeeee! Ooooo, Eeeeeee Is this the yodel of the sea? Or are they just singing, "We are free."? Snorkelers don't see them, But do not despair. We listen to choirs of whale song out there. With head under water And fins in the air, Come hear the whales in Hawa-eeee! Ooooo,  Eeeeeee Is this the yodel of the sea? Or are they just singing,"We are free."? What's there to sing about Under the sea? The planktonic krill, such a delicacy! Or maybe they sing to their sweethearts to be. "Come swim with me in Hawa-eeee!" Ooooo,  Eeeeeee Is this the yodel of the sea? Or are they just singing to be free.

 CATCH Karen Lewis Catch the wind in your sail Pick up the gale and ride it. Into the sun. Don't look back at your wake. Leave the churning behind you. Just carry on. In the past were beaches  Golden halcyon reaches To stroll upon. Once you lost all your treasure Failure by your own measure Everything gone. Catch the wave when it comes Lead the crest and ride it. Under the sun. Don't look back at mistakes Leave every tumble behind you. Your moment has come. All the deep preparation Practice and repetition  For learning how. Every stance you have tried or Balanced strength you applied will Flow to you now Catch the wind in your sail Pick up the gale and ride it. Catch the wave when it comes Lead the crest and ride it.

FAVORITE CLOTHES or THE TRAGEDY OF THE CLOSET Karen Lewis My favorite clothes are faded and tattered My favorite clothes are falling apart. I can either dress to look and feel happy, Or I can wear new, just to look smart. Gossamer and lace, seed beads and bows. Well-polished slippers, I'm light on my toes.

SINGING INTO THE WIND  Karen Lewis CHORUS I've been singing into the wind Writing on shifting sand. Got a whole lotta words want to pour out from me Never to be heard again. I'm singing into the wind Writing on shifting sand. Nothing is indelible. Here, then gone again. V1 Mountain jays keep hiding nuts They cannot find to claim. Sand crab has to sweep the sand  From his burrow after every wave. And all the work to build a nest  Is nothing I would crave. When wind and rains come pounding Nothing will remain. CHORUS We're all singing into the wind Writing on shifting sand. Got a whole lotta words want to pour out from me Never to be heard again. I'm singing into the wind Writing on shifting sand. Nothing is indelible Here, then gone again. V2 Takes a lot of rain to raise The level of the sea. Takes a lot of time to grow  The tall sequoia tree. And though the lyric tune I play Is only a soft melody... Each voice adds a whisper To the song of humanity. CHORUS And I'm s...
