The Moment
Hello morning today is going to be grand
Time to get moving, lets go just because we can
Tease your lover while climbing the tree
Hold onto each other, alone and happy just to
Breathe you in and out, let's write down both of our vows
And hang them on the wall
And then let's tear them down, just be here and now
Gift the moment with our all
Summer's over relaxing into the fall
Days getting shorter but our boy he's growing tall enough
To knock things over, and he does 'cause he can
How many messes does it take until you have a man?
You lift him up, remind him he's enough
Show him he's worth love
It's dust to dust, The love that never rusts
Gift the moment with your all
I know my heart means dust to dust,
happy just to know you, and happy just because
I know my love will never rust,
happy to be caring and happily in love ...with you
In love with you
Happily in love with you
Children stand 1000 mountains tall,
though yesterday they could barely crawl
Aromas on our handy-down clothes,
wool sheathed and cuddling our toes
My promise is I'll do this all again,
lifetime after lifetime I'll find you
I promise that we'll do this all again,
lifetime after lifetime I'll find you

Teach Me How
Joshua Polaris, 2021
I see that I've done something my karma will undo.
What's done is done these things that humbly teach me to love
Witnessing life wrapped up all covered in browns and greens
Brother by you I merge myself with the Mystery
Teach me how
Teach me how x2
We spend our lives all wrapped up all covered in wants and needs
Blood of the Elk thank you for giving your life for me
Let it be known with my life I honor what's past for me
The life I take, The life I make
Forever one in the mystery
It's a mystery how I got to know you
It's a mystery how we fell from star
It's a mystery what she hasn't told you
It's a mystery, that's the way we are
Teach me how
All my life provided all I could ever need
My brother I claim my right to bearing your suffering
Your sacrifice of your body humbles me to my knees
As it will go my body's yours for the prospering
Teach me how
I belong, I am at home, I am at home here
I belong, I am at home, I am at home here (cont.)
These things happen this way
Somethings happen to go,
Somethings happen to stay.
Still we wonder Why, Why, Why?
Somethings happen this way
Sometimes we speak when there's
Nothing to say (cont.)

Miss Marion
Joshua Polaris, 2021
Where you to, Miss Marion?
Who's this Fred? From where's he come?
Soldier of America
War bride of miss Marion
Hums x2 (harmony on g x1)
Fancy Nancy hold my hand
Tell me tales of Aussie land
From its center grows a tree
Drops its fruit not far from me
Across the world this fruit has rolled
Aussie came New Mexico
Sheltered by the Sandias
A family grew from Marion
Fell from Australian tree though he was grown in America
From Miss Marion this is where he's from born America
Love is like a boomerang
Returns us where from once she came
Southern cross her kind must see
Cause Aussie roots make Aussie trees
Harbor Master mark your log
Returns your kin by Marion
We bear her ash across the sea
Where you and Leonore still sleep
Sewn in America but how she dreamed of Australia
Mother Marion,This is where she's from, Free old (Freo) Australia
Find the trees from which you've roamed,
By your roots your Elder Grown
Feel them in your bones
This is how we know
We're all Elder Grown
One for sorrow, two for joy
on zig zag ship that bride deployed
So, as they say in Australia
Ta Ta for now miss Marion

The Way I Answer
Joshua Polaris, 2021
Floating in Motion
Which one's the dream
and you have been waiting
Swim down to me
Ooh
Marion's calling
She calls out to me
The Way that I Answer
Has yet to be seen
Ooh
Some want a way to move the mind
Some want a way to choose
Some want a way to shape their life
Depending on the moon
Some go the way of wind and tides
Some want the way of cloud
Some want a way to rain her down
back to here and now
I'm summoning up the whale
chanting at the sea
I'm praying that the whale
brings her back to me
I'm finding that the whale, the whale, the whale
answers me
the whale, the whale, the whale
answers..
Some want a way trust their eyes
Some want a way to proof
Some want a way to spend the night
Howling at the moon
Some want the way to fire light
Some want the way to sleep
Some want to greet the morning by
jumping in the creek
I'm summoning up the whale
chanting at the sea
I'm praying that the whale
brings her back to me
I'm finding that the whale, the whale, the whale
answers me
the whale, the whale, the whale
answers the way I answer the...

Sweet Annie
Joshua Polaris, 2021
Holding Time, Holding Space, Growing Lines on Your Face
Getting Out On Your Own Helps Remembering That You Are Whole
Good to Laugh, Great to Weep, Feeling Everything Honestly
Palms to Chest, Heart to Sleeve, Practice Smiling From Head to Feet
And It's Back Into the Arms of What God You Have Known
It's Into the Wild World where Maddison (Medicine) Grows (Groves)
The Answers to who are like Holes In Our Clothes
I's it Strange How Wandering Far Can Bring You Back Home
Young man Born, Ohio, Dares The Journey Off On his Own
Eat good food, get some sleep, boundary medicine is his key
Post Harvest, Plant your seeds, Give this moment to future needs
Now We've Shared a Long Dirt Road Gravely Proof You are Not Alone
You Can Tell By the Lines On Your Face, Sweet Annie You've Grown
It's Part of the Beauty of Life to Reap What You Sow
The Power of Mystery Lies in Remaining Unknown
Is it Strange How Wandering Far Can Bring You Back Home

Higher and Higher
Joshua Polaris, 2021
Holy Ghosts and I
Heroes haul their hearts
Mary speed up time
Bones and soul and mind
Making yours from what's mine
Together is how our love will climb
Higher and Higher Higher and Higher
How many troubles to untie
the growth of body and soul and mind
Higher and Higher Higher and Higher
Higher and Higher Love Higher and Higher Love
Higher and Higher Love Higher and Higher
Dancing tall in endless light
Darkness comes and together we climb
Higher and Higher Higher and Higher
Climb so High we touch moon beam
Must have eyes to be unseen
Higher and Higher Higher and Higher
Higher and Higher Love Higher and Higher Love
Higher and Higher Love Higher and Higher
Higher, Higher, Higher...
Holy Ghosts and I
Heroes haul their hearts
Mary speed up time
Bones and soul and mind

Old Boots
Joshua Polaris, 2021
Mama says to tonify with roots
I've loved her from the start this much is true
Give me shelter there right next to you
Yummy edgy cosmic rendezvous
In time we'll have nothing to lose
Just remember that you have deep roots
And here we will reap what we sow
As the memories show
Your old boots have journeyed
My how you've journeyed
Let's journey some more
Morning comes as snow white under blue
Sunrise hands to pull me close to you
Hold me til my heart is good as new
Forgive me when I Love you like a fool
Time to surrender and sooth
Its important we choose to share truths
Here we will reap what we sow
As the memories show
Your old boots have journeyed
My how we've journeyed
Let's journey some more.

River Song
Joshua Polaris
Oohs
Single Feather of a Nightingale
Web of spider shines a message for me
Summer stone and water's love affair
Down near the river where I lay
Oohs
Serpent called me to the water's edge
Rise and fall a Tall request while dreaming
So I went to bury medicine
Down near the river where I lay
Water clean me with your serpent stare
Shed this skin your touch repairs what's leaking
Hard to see what Spirit's buried there
Down near the river where I lay
Ooh
I surrender I be humbled by this tall mystery
Here I'm clearing all resistance that's been harbored me
Here I temper superstitions til I'm sealed up and clean
I remember how to listen built my shelter with ease
Cultivate grace in ease

Search
Joshua Polaris, 2021
If Heaven would fall down
How many ways I could catch you
It's strange how the night sounds
like how many days I'm missing you
Got lost in my own town
While I searched for what to feel
But the feelings always change,
Though my longing stays the same
Our love is like the water flows
It's gravity begets design
Destroy my body on your stone
Rebuild me, watch me realign
Our love is like the water flows
So Effortless it fools the eye
downhill love erode my stone
softened me down deep til I
wonder what comes now
you answer the day with your best you
What did you find out
when you journeyed away toward someone new
My Heart is the Ghost-town
Where I'll search for you for years
Age me like a sun
trust the webs I've spun
Our love is like the water flows
It's gravity begets design
Destroy my body on your stone
Rebuild me, watch me realign
Our love is like the water flows
So Effortless it fools the eye
downhill love erode my stone
softened me down deep now I
I, I, I Remember
I, I, I Surrender

Gold
Joshua Polaris, 2021
From the red man is where I stole my bones
From black strangers is where I stole my soul
I am the Colorless, the Motherless, a thousand shades of white
I am the Colorless, the brotherless see the whites of my eyes
Oooh You're So Golden, You're So Golden You Are So Gold
It was there I stole my bones
Our Blankets made you cold
Their shackles built my home
Appropriated soul
Oooh You're So Golden, You're So Golden You Are So Gold
Disguise me, never gonna find me
I'm colorless
You're Gold

Hide and Seek
Joshua Polaris 2021
I Jumped Across the Ocean
I Landed on My Feet
Moved me like a Sunrise
A world in just one leap
Horizons are a homeland
A landmark of the soul
Constant in their distance
the further that you go
Ohh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Rumors that I'd find You
Have led me to your feet
100000 Soldiers
Will soon be following
Written on my bones
Hide and seek my soul
I will burn his Palace down for You
I will tear his oldest son in two
It's Hide and Seek
With My Soul
