  • I'm high and I'm happy and I'm free
    I got my whole heart
    Laid out right in front of me
    And I finally can see
    The way it's always been
    The need for peace
    Starts from within

    So I leave my possessions to the wind
    And I'm done with ever wanting anything
    Well I can die satisfied
    No desires do I hide
    Not today, not today
    Nor for the next one thousand lives

    I want to be a little seahorse
    I want to be a little seahorse
    A little seahorse

    I want to be a little seahorse
    I want to be a little seahorse
    I want to be a little seahorse

    Well I'm scared of ever being born again
    If it's in this form again
    Well I wanna know how why where and when and then
    I wanna see you be the bright night sky
    I wanna see you come back as the light
    I wanna see you be the bright night sky
    I wanna see you come back as the light Writer/s: DEVENDRA BANHART

  • The Family Grave from BrighotnI like the way this track quotes musically Dave Brubeck's Take Five and other jazz. It's a gorgeous song.
