I've begun to collect the songs of mine that have obvious UB
references in them and some that are UB inspired. The 20 songs
on this album are selected from 13 albums, with recordings
produced from 1998-2008.
I plan to market this album to the Urantia CommUnity and to
mainstream audiences. Already these songs are available at
Itunes for download (and 50 other audio online retailers). I'm
going to make a special effort this year to reach a non UB audience
with these UB ideas.
This music is representative of all my styles. Please don't be
turned off just because one song isn't done in a style you like, the
next song may be. The demographic that buys my vocal music is
primarily 18-35. There are psychedelic songs, hard rock,
folk, ambient, soft rock and experimental. The two most worshipful and gentle songs are 4. Becoming New and 6. Three Circles However, this IS a mostly progressive rock album.

1. REVOLUTION #7
From the album: BLUE AGE © 2002
Words from Meredith J. Sprunger's
The Gift of Revelation
Read by Jennifer Lovell with Music by Alex Wall
We are living in one of the great pivotal periods of history.
Society has undergone more change in the last one hundred years than in the previous two thousand years.
We are unlocking the secrets of the microcosmos and beginning to travel in outer space.
Great strides have been taken in the mastery and manipulation of our physical environment.
During this century [the 1900's] we have evolved a new physics, a new astronomy, a new psychology, and the beginnings of a new philosophical age.
Civilization changes course when new views of reality shift the thinking of humanity into different channels of growth.
We appear to be on the edge of one of these conceptual transformations.
Our society may be on the verge of another revolution in the way we view our world and the universe.

2. STUTTER FOG
From the album: BLUE AGE © 2002
Words & Music by Alex Wall
Do you want me? Do I move you?
Might I whisper in your ear?
Come along, Stutter Fog
On the lamb, on the hog
'Cos you can, can relate
To the mood on my face
Pushing, pushing, I push my way into the void
Zero, zero, change is like a fiction, boy
I fill my eyes with Paradise
Shine a light on the gate
Take my hand; lead the way
Cos' you can, can relate
To the mood on my face
Shine a light on the gate, take my hand; lead the way
Do you want me? do I move you?
Cos' you can, can relate to the mood on my face
Might I whisper in your ear?
Shine a light on the gate, take my hand; lead the way
Pushing, pushing I push my way into the void
Cos' you can, can relate to the mood on my face
Zero, zero change is like a fiction, boy
I dip my toes in paraffin
I light my way with a seraphim
I cannot say that life today
Is what it will be when they come for me
______________________________
3. SERA
From the album: MOONFLOWER © 1998
Words and Music by Alex Wall
She says go my way
Chosen one, come along
There's a sign in your mind you should read
Cos you're in a bind, man
Think too much, lighter heart
Are you touched by the crutch of the snowman?
She says go my way
Chosen one, come along
Put aside the things that divide you
There's a seraphim walking up beside you
She holds the keys to the Fatherland
Paradise, mother of a simple man
If you care to hear the Light and see the Sound
Your ship will never sink or run a-ground
Sail Supreme, Ultimate, and Absolute
No need to find the cycle
Cos Infinity has come to you!
She says go my way
Chosen one, come along
Order what you can swallow, no more
You may not give it back, man
And the solid is hollow, I'm sure
It's the shadow of Heaven
She says go my way
Chosen one, come along
Put aside the things that divide you
There's a seraphim walking up beside you
She holds the keys to the Fatherland
Paradise, mother of a simple man
If you care to hear the Light and see the Sound
Your ship will never sink or run a-ground
Sail Supreme, Ultimate, and Absolute
No need to find the cycle
Cos Infinity has come to you!
Sail Supreme, Ultimate, and Absolute
Sail Supreme, Ultimate, and Absolute

4. BECOMING NEW
From the album: MOONFLOWER © 1998
Words and Music by Alex Wall
I can take all the tears away from your eyes
And there will be no more death or sorrow or cryin
And I can take away the pain
All those things are passing away
And all is becoming new
But, what about you?
And all those things are passing away...
What about you?
And all those things are passing away...
What about you?
And all those things are passing away...
What about you?
And all those things are passing away...
I can take all the tears away from your eyes
--It gets so lonely in this place--
And there will be no more death or sorrow or cryin
--And I can see the tears behind your face--
And I can take away the pain
All those things are passing away
And all is becoming new
But, what about you?
Now that all is becoming new...
What about you?
Now that all is becoming new...
What about you?
Now that all is becoming new...
What about you?
Now that all is becoming, becoming new...
And all those things are passing away...
And all those things are passing away...

5. STITCH
From the album: MOONFLOWER © 1998
Words and Music by Alex Wall
Well, toe-jam my philosophy
Say it doesn't mean that much to me
But I want to say "take it all away"
And I have to say "take it all away"
You say you want the stars to shine
And you've wanted it for the longest time
Well, you have to say "take it all away"
And you have to say "take it all away"
And love stands still
And we stand still, oh...
Is it a fine wine?
A stitch in time?
A highway scene with Mr. Clean?
A drive, a drop, a yield, a stop?
Cream, corn, art, porn?
Science-reliance, employment, appliance...
Splits me head and pulls out my defiance
Materialistic! Why shouldn't I risk it?
Better give it up if I don't want to fix it.
And the people say "take it all away"
And the people say "take it all away, away..."

6. THREE CIRCLES
From the album: WAKE TO DREAM © 2000
Words and Music by Alex Wall
Silence stands up proud and tall
But you know pride comes before a fall
I've tied up these loose ends
Wind makes the wheat bend
And the wheat could feed us all
And my waking dreams I see
Three circles in eternity...
The scientist agnosticates
On the principles of time and space
See through his outlook
Numbers in note-books
Lie around the place
When he turns them upside down he sees
Three circles in eternity...
From a window she watches her daughter's children
Play along the shore
But with the violent shaking of her hands
The poet wrote no more
And in her fading eyes she sees
Three circles in eternity...

7. LIFE CARRIER
From the album: TANTRUM © 2006
Words and Music by Alex Wall
When the things you've held so high
Come crashing to the ground
I'll write down the time
When love is on tv
The more I watch
The less I see
But I choose to be
In the end time
I promise you
In the end time
I'll dance with you
In the silence of the land
Still-water coves
Where man began
I wrote down the time
And you're still swimming to the Light
Still separate the wrong from the right
And you'll choose to fight
In the end time
I promise you
In the end time
I'll dance with you
Cos' I showed you how
I told you why
I thought you'd see
The image in your mind
I promise you
In the end time
I'll dance with you
______________________________
8. FOLLOW ME (LIFE CARRIER REPRISE)
From the album: TANTRUM © 2006
Words and Music by Alex Wall
Would you follow me anywhere?
To the end of the world?
Where the sand we placed so long ago
Has turned into a pearl
Would you follow me anywhere?
To the end of the world?
Where the sand we placed so long ago
Has turned into a pearl
And I showed you how
I told you why
I thought you'd see
The image in your mind
I promise you in the End Time
I'll dance with you
______________________________
9. ANOTHER WAY
From the album: LEXICON © 2008
Words and Music by Alex Wall
Close those curtains tight
The light is much too bright
It hurts me
It hurts my eyes
I've always loved the sun
But now it's laughing down
It's laughing
Down on me
And I've done what you have asked
The torch of song is passed
I've seen the future film be cast
Make them go away
This is not my game
You think we
Think the same
Pound those stakes in hard
Hard, until they break
Until their splinters
Hold my frame
And I've done what you have asked
The torch of song is passed
I've seen the future film be cast
I've seen another way
______________________________
10. TWO BROTHERS
From the album: LEXICON © 2008
Words and Music by Alex Wall
Said the night unto the day
You know I think I've seen it
I've seen another way?
When you're on one side
And I'm on the other
Don't you know
The night is just
the daytime's brother
And they've held hands
Around this world
From the time of rock and stone
To the days of bloody sword
And as we spin around this star
Forgetting who we are
In the womb that we adore
I am reborn
______________________________
11. RISE RISE
From the album: LEXICON © 2008
Words and Music by Alex Wall
Rise, rise and cheer from all sides
The time has come
Rise, rise look up to the skies
The world is young
Lies, lies; they're dropping like flies
Pull these scales, scales from my eyes
Rise, rise look up to the skies
The world is young
And if you wanted me to love you
All you had to do was ask me to
And if you wanted just to hold me
All you had to do was see right through me&
Rise, rise and cheer from all sides
The time has come
______________________________
12. NEVER STOP
From the album: LEXICON © 2007
Words and Music by Alex Wall
I sang to "make love"
I watch you give and take love
And now the time ends
Washed down with tears and diamonds
Still feel the Blues
Can't find no happy news
Bitter taste, indeed
I need to really lose control
I just go home tonight
I'm feeling like a kite
That dives into the ground
A song without a sound
Whenever you're in town
Call me up
You know I'll be around
You know I'll never stop
Take a look at the moon tonight
What a funky little satellite
Purple hips, and she says she feels good
"Hold me over for another night"
Well, you can drink
You can drink from my well
You can drink, but you cannot drink well
Sailing ships get lost in the rain, girl
But you're walking in a hurricane
When someone tries to take your soul
Buy it time, buy it time
When someone tries to take your soul
Buy it time...
Looks like I'll live more
I'll learn to trust and give more
I'll make the world see
The joys of peace and mercy
In Violet Light
We will learn to get it right
We will turn around
We will see the song behind the sound
Stayed up until the dawn
When I thought that You were gone
From every point of view
There's only me and You
No other fills my mind
No other holds my heart
Your Love is at the top
You know I'll never stop
______________________________
13. TEARSN' RAIN
From the album: LEXICON © 2007
Words and Music by Alex Wall
I'm ready to start again
I have a new place to be
I'm leaving all those friends
Who said that they left me
I'm luffing in the wind
Confessing every sin
Cos I'm ready to start again
I will leave where I have been
And though the spirit leaves my pain
In the flesh there will remain
Tearsn' rain, Tearsn' rain
Tearsn' rain
Cos I'm still the same
My roots are taking hold
The sap is sinking in
You're young and I am old
But we're happy in our skins
And with the passing of the flame
The wax will freeze again, in
Tearsn' rain, Tearsn' rain
Tearsn' rain
Cos I'm still the same
Blue moon embosses on the snow
A ghost, a host
So many ghosts I know
Now I know how clear the air can be
Only when I'm peaceful am I free
And I am free
Somewhere in our minds
It is morning all the time
Where we can start again
Helps us leave where we have been
And in the future morning calls
And the past will wash away in
Tearsn' rain, Tearsn' rain
Tearsn' rain
Cos I'm still the same

14. END OF DAYS
From the album: WAKE TO DREAM © 2000
Words and Music by Alex Wall
He missed the boat, he missed the train
The train that brought him sugarcane
There aint no moon to give him light
Now he needs the seventh sight
Walking in the spirit age
Cooking with the Salem Sage
In the muddy ground the man turns around
At the end of the day his hair is grey
He's pacing, he's walking
He's at the door and knocking
He's waiting for the end of days
Pantomime...I'm gonna waste some time
Little cigarette helsps stop the noise
I take a breath, and I forget...I forget
Did he forget how high we rise
I'm looking at her feet and eyes
If I'm the pet I wanna run wild
And make it to that broken smile
It makes me so impressed
Impressed with him
He thinks I'll lose the Light within
He could be wrong, he could be right
The answer's on the other side
It's a sunny day in Y2K
On a bridge of fate and tv tears
At the end of days
Pantomime...I'm gonna waste some time
Little cigarette helps stop the noise
I hold back all the tears
From thirty one years
I take a breath, and I will...
And I will, and I'll forget
I'll forget

15. NOAH
From the album: WAKE TO DREAM © 2000
Words and Music by Alex Wall
I was born on the rocky coast
Baptized by Crystal Waters
In a place with the most
The Lion's sign in the land of pine
I know these parts, I know these hearts
Woman in the crowd
What are you looking for?
I can be found
Where it all comes crashing down
And I just want to say
I hope I helped you find the way
Remember this time
Remember these days...remember...
Late at night I hear the highway cry
It helped me to sleep when I was a child
The icicles and the earth below
And when I wake up
I'm gonna play in the snow
People in the crowd
What are you listening to?
The words of a fool
In the Age of Blue
And I just want to say
I hope I wasn't in the way
Remember this time
Remember these days...remember...
Oh, Noah, look for the sign
Yes, it's gonna rain for a year this time
That you might believe
That you might believe
Now I see what has to be
Or you could take this cup away from me
These broken songs are all I have
The future's come
Don't forget the past
People in the crowd
What are you fighting for?
You're about to find a love
Like you've never seen before
And I just want to say
Before I go away
Remember this time
Remember these days
Oh, Noah, look for the sign
It's gonna rain for a year this time
And you will believe, yes you will believe

16. WAKE TO DREAM
From the album: WAKE TO DREAM © 2000
Words and Music by Alex Wall
In my fantasy, it's always you and me
It's got to stand for something
When I come around, gonna sell the sound
And it'll stand for something
And what I wanted to be is clear and free
And to be honest, sometimes
I wake to dream, I wake to dream...
Well I feel so tall, pierced wrists and all
I've got to stand for something
In the violet rain, you call me insane
I've got to stand for something
These lights are blinding my eyes
Glass and fire
I may be letting off steam
I wake to dream, I wake to dream
When the lion's come, spread the word around...
It's time to stand for something
And when you're at the edge
No more looking down
It's time to stand for something
Cos' it's a terrible place to save your face
So, if you want to be free, just...
Wake to dream, wake to dream (etc.)

17. FUNKY STAR
From the album: WAKE TO DREAM © 2000
Words and Music by Alex Wall
On a mountain top, I saw the sun burst out of the sea
It looked like atom bombs
It was a funky star
A diamond ring in my fantasy
On a frozen lake, I watched the night turn into the day
As I was flying north I saw a funky star
And I was held by its gravity
You say you're only happy when it rains
But behind those clouds a funky star remains
We watched the northern lights
And they danced with the Milky Way
We were so happy then, under the funky stars
As we gazed at eternity
On the way back home
You said that love can never die
And I still think you're right
Just like you were that night
Except for you and I
What happened to that book we used to read?
Why do you try so hard to hide from me?
I tell you I will only bring you peace
Don't hide from me, please
As I drift to sleep, I dream of things that will never be
But I will wake at dawn
To find my funky star
And that's good enough for me
______________________________
18. AMERICA'S WORLD
From the album: WAKE TO DREAM © 2000
Words and Music by Alex Wall
I look to the west
To the bomb, to the best
To the end of the day
In a year and a life
In a time of the night
In my shallow eyes
Open my mind
Give me a sign
Tell me what you said before
Tell me what you're looking for
Open my mind
Give me a peak
I woke on Tuesday morn
I made the shower warm
On the radio they talked of death and war
In America's world I wasn't feeling proud
I was feeling sad, I was feeling bad
Why should I change
When nobody cares at all?
Why should I change
When nobody cares at all?
I got a job at the bank
I talk to folks all day
They call me up from near and far away
I know that all we have
Could feed the world each day
When I walk home at night
I pass little kids on the Hill
They all look up and smile
But their parents chill
It isn't worth their while
It isn't in their wills
Why should I change
When nobody cares at all?
Why should I change
When nobody cares at all?

19. MAKE LOVE
From the album: LEXICON © 2007
Words and Music by Alex Wall
Inside of your rose I comes and I goes
You heat the world around me and
The video skies; I get lost in your eyes
I think your wrapped around me and
Make love all day long
(And the moments will come)
Make love singing songs
(As bright as the sun)
Make love all day long
Make love!
From the start you stole my heart away
Sexy baby, gave me night, gave me night and day
Inside the inside; astonishing fire
It heats the world around me and
Since youve been my friend, I can be young again
If you stay wrapped around me and
Ill make love to you
(And the moments will come)
If you want me to
(As bright as the sun)
Ill make love to you
Make love!
From the start you stole my heart away
Sexy baby, gave me night, gave me night and day

20. UNREQUITED MAY
From the album: LEXICON © 2007
Words and Music by Alex Wall
You're beautiful
You turn me on
And it's natural
But you think it's wrong
There's not enough time in the year
For you to hear
I want to tell you I love you
But you won't know, I fear
Unrequited May
I saw your boyfriend pick you up today
Unrequited May
I'm sure he came to take your breathe away
Unrequited May
You both walked up the stairs and locked the door
And Unrequited May
Now you won't be lonely anymore
Oh, oh, oh, how I want to be alone with you again
My friend
How I want to be alone with you again
My friend
You won't listen to me
Now the time is gone
And I'm dying
But you make me strong
There aren't enough notes in the scale
And so I failed
To be what you needed
But you were more than enough for me
Unrequited May
I hung your picture on my wall today
Unrequited May
A pretty face that never walks away
Unrequited May
I'll talk to it tonight and lock the door
And Unrequited May
Now I won't be lonely anymore
Oh, oh, oh, how I want to be alone with you
Again, my friend
How I want to be alone with you
Again, my friend, etc...

21. CHOSEN ONE
From the album: TANTRUM © 2006
Words and Music by Alex Wall
Take me to the water's edge, chosen one
This life that we create is breathing on its own
We're gonna have to let it fly, chosen one
We love it, so be strong and sing along
I drove so fast, dark circles grasped
My eyes, as I began to die
My songs flowed out into my mind
They calmed me down, they gave me time...
Take me on the rolling waves, chosen one
I promise I will stay there until my work is done
We're gonna have to let it fly, chosen one
I know that you have light enough
To shine on everyone
I have no wife, I have no child
So many things unreconciled
My broken heart and racing Jeep
Gave the chosen one my soul to keep
Then cherubim flew down to me
With blue shirts and stethoscopes
They opened up my broken heart
Two seraphim stood next to me
Protecting me when I would sleep
They let me rest my broken heart
And when I'd sleep, I'd sleep so deeply...
That you could...
Take me to the other side, chosen one
Show me all the treasures hiding in the sun
But, you've given me a little more life, chosen one
It isn't time to fly yet and we are going home
