A lot of people have asked for the lyrics to the songs on Good Options. Here are a few of the favorites:
Butterfly | I Believe in You | Dalai Lama | Go Geronimo

BUTTERFLY
Lush/Butler 2000

Come up out of the shadows
Open your wings to the sun
Freedom in your surrender
Peace is your revolution

Come on Butterfly
Come on Butterfly
Show us how to climb high
When it’s dark as night
Your a shining light
Come on Butterfly

Who’s right? Pointing a finger
Nobody wins in a war
Don’t fight! Bend without breaking
Together we weather the storm

What if all the boundries fall?
Now your enemy is called your friend

Come on Butterfly
Come on Butterfly
Show us how to climb high
When it’s dark as night
Your a shining light
Come on Butterfly
FLY FLY FLY FLY

Find out, it’s no possession
Love is a way of life
Love is a way of life

Come on Butterfly
Come on Butterfly
Come on Butterfly
Come on Butterfly

I BELIEVE IN YOU
Butler /Lush 1999

I believe in you
All the things you do
Taking a stand for your heart
And a new way of thought
For the people and the land you care about
I believe in you

I believe in trees
All they have too teach
Sitting still through a storm
Alone but not forlorn
Keep us cool on a hot summer day
I believe in trees

too many people
feed all the people
6 billion people
running around
too many people
get all the people
on solid ground

I believe in love
All you have... give it up
Give it out set yourself free
Let it lead your way
Let it lead you way

too many fences
walls and fences
too many fences
keep us apart
too many fences let down defenses
tear it apart

What is success in your book?
How do you know when your there?

I believe in you

DALAI LAMA
Butler/Anton 1999

Open up the door
dive down deep within
sitting on the floor
this is the place to begin
Close your eyes
Your eyes
Close your eyes

Breath deep
Settle down
Imagine
Compassion

We are all the same
except for all the things we claim
what do you have to hide
sifting through the truth and lies
Close your eyes
Your eyes
Close your eyes

Breathe deep
settle down
imagine
compassion

What would you say if you had
Just one question
standing right in front of the Dalai Lama
...ASK YOURSELF!

Music is my religion
Spirit is my life
Nature is my body
Knowledge is my mother and my wife
Compassion is my heart
understanding is my virtue
Ignorance is my night
Realization is my father and guru
(Paragraph quoted from Tzih)

It's you! It's me! It's the dalai lama! it's we!
We are all the same!

This is a new song, unrecorded:

GO GERONIMO

If we took a little time
Tell our stories to the children
Would we make the same mistakes
Hurt ourselves
Over and over, again and again

Oh yea, I’m turning inside out
I never know, never know what I might find out
Welcome aboard, to this magic carpet ride
This thing called life….Life

Go Geronimo

If we kill off all the life in the sea
Will we survive?
When we find another place up in space
Will we trash the place?

Oh yea, we’re turning inside out
What is the stock market all about?
Come on inside, the casino welcomes you
Your money will
FLY AWAY…….OH YEA!

Go Geronimo
Go Geronimo
Go Geronimo
Go Geronimo

Oh yea, well we can turn around
We can stop this clown, from burning us down
Welcome aboard, open up your heart
‘Cause love is where it STARTS!......OH YEA!

Go Geronimo ( etc)
We did it we did it we did it we did it

When I wake up from this dream, hope to find you here...
Right here.
