The sun is rising above the sky The light is shining into our eyes We are staring into the fire We have all built a great empire So here we reap now what we have sown So here we speak now what we have known Its been a long time coming, I came up from the bottom But I worked hard and now my life is blossoming I put hours in, I put days in I put years in this groovadelic bass playing Like a Kung Fu Kata, I came up from the bottom But just look at me now cause here I am slaughtering I'm a legend, I'm a Super Sayin Harvest now that which I have been cultivating King of the jungle, I'm the fruit on the tree I am that which has grown between you and me, Hey I'm The Monkey King, I'm the real thing Come on down and let me show you how to swing Harvest the wheat, harvest the grain Harvest the inner workings of my brain, Hey I have built a fire out of my desire To uplift you all and then to take you higher I teach Kung Fu to kids, I ponder what is Took many, many years but now I'm in the business I was once a cook, that was what it took But just look at me now cause I'm getting booked King of the jungle, I'm the fruit on the tree I am that which has grown between you and me, Hey I'm The Monkey King, I'm the real thing Come on down and let me show you how to swing Sun is risen above the sky The Light is shining into our lives We are dancing around the fire We have all built a great empire

10.	23 Everything Falls Away 03:58	lyrics	buy track
She was the greatest love I ever had But she fell right from my hands Well they say if you love her let her go But that's ok cause that's the way that it goes But there was nothing quite like our bond Even though time rolls on You had more important things to do But nevertheless I am so glad I met you Everything falls away Nothing ever stays the same I never met another gal like you Back then we always had something to do Every single day I couldn't wait Until saturday night when we would both stay out late And we would carve a hole in the dance floor But you always knew I wanted more But I was never meant to be yours But nevertheless our friendship was sworn Everything falls away Nothing ever stays the same
11.	24 Return 04:23	lyrics	buy track
Just like how each day the sun sets The next day it will return Even though she left I bet that one day she will return Even though she's gone I know that one day love will return ONE DAY LOVE WILL RETURN! One day love will return Every time things fall away they turn around again And every new beginning is an old beginnings end It's been many years since I left But now I have returned I've journeyed so far But now I have returned There was once a man who lit A fire in our hearts that still burns He left this world for another But one day he will return Every time things fall away they turn around again And every new beginning is an old beginning's end One day the hero will save us One day he will return There was once a man who lit a fire in our hearts that still burns He left this world for another but one day he will return

about

The second in a series of five albums that are the five parts of The LP Ching. The first part represented the element Wood. This second one represents the element Fire. In the process of recording this it felt as though my life was burning down. Seems fitting. These 12 songs represent the next 12 Hexagrams of The I Ching and it picks up right where we left off. Now we are up to 25 of the 64 tracks.

The story continues...
