I*M - A New Urantia Album

INTRODUCTION

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
