"Milo"
Written by: Clayton Joseph Scott
Its getting rough here
Times getting tougher
sink or swim
is there even any love there
Looking in your baby eyes
tell me can they see me
Is there any hope
do you believe me?
If its the pollution
Fill the sky with cancer
They let people starve here
Tell me the answers
Raise a fist & fan flames
Over disagreements
Finger on the triggers
Pull 'em back in gods name
I say
Things wont always be this way
May you grow up
To see a brighter day
Well I say
Things wont always be this way
May you grow up
To see a brighter day
Milo Milo
You're beginning to feel my love
You're beginning to feel my love
You're beginning to feel my love love love
Oh Milo yeah
You're beginning to feel my love
You're beginning to feel my love my love my love my love love
Unending wars
Is it all a bad dream?
A child’s hands stitch the fabrics of designer jeans
The bomb in the market
Took another mother
Was it your sister?
Was it your brother?
My eyes are open
The truth has been spoken
The first time I held you
Cycles were broken
Love is supreme
It's an evolution
Take it to the streets
Let's start a revolution
But I say
Things wont always be this way
May you grow up
To see a brighter day
I say
Things wont always be this way
May we grow up
To see a brighter day
Milo, Milp
You're beginning to feel my love
You're beginning to feel my love
You're beginning to feel my love love love
Whoa Milo
You're beginning to feel my love
You're beginning to feel my love my love my love my love my love
Oh Milo
Never gonna let the world get to you
Oh Milo
Your eyes tell me we're gonna make it through
Oh Milo
Never thought it would go so far
Oh Milo
Fate of the world a your baby arms
I see the love
Blooming out a speaker
May you live a life time
May you find a teacher
May you be Prophet
A preacher of peace ya
May you whisper wisdom
In your own baby's ears
May you see the sunshine
Warm upon the old hill
Remember the ancients
Who gave their lives there
What will be the story
Will this generation rise
I see the truth
When I look into your baby eyes
But I say
Things wont always be this way
May we grow up
To see a brighter day
I say
Things wont always be this way
May we grow up
To see a brighter day
Milo, Milo
You're beginning to feel my love
You're beginning to feel my love
You're beginning to feel my love love love
Whoa Milo
You're beginning to feel my love
You're beginning to feel my love
You're beginning, you're beginning, you're beginning,
you're beginning, you're beginning
To feel my love love, my love love, my love love
Everybody sing whoa oh

"Let Go"
Written by: Clayton Joseph Scott
Lay me down
Your sweet caresses
Smile that she shows
Bests my defenses
Spread her ashes after I’m gone
Dying is as easy as being born
Being born
Tear this heart
She close ten thousand doors
Whispers through the walls
Your not welcome here any more
Well I said
Write these words
Upon her grave
When death’s hand grip she was not afraid
Break my body and Shake my bones
Been holding on for so long I cant let go
Well don't you break my body and Shake my bones
Been holding on for so long but its time to let go
Let go again
Time to let go, let go again
Follow me
One last prayer
Rings on her fingers then flowers in her hair
Well I say
Break back arches on that day
Now I send my letters to Heavens gates
And if you
Break my body then you shake my bones
Well I been holding on for so long I cant let go
Don't you break my body
Don't you shake my bones
Holding on for so long
Time to let go now go go again, again, again, again again again
It's time to let go now go, go again again again again

Don't you know that you stayed awake all night
Trying to decide
If you’re leaving in the morning
If you’re catching that southbound train

"Strong Enough"
Written by: Clayton Joseph Scott
Oh mama well I woke up feeling sad again
The world is on the brink
I can feel the darkness closing in
I got a light that shines
I’m not the only one
Rally the troops in this army love
I hear the melodies steadily
Rising from this crowd
Music get me high I never wanna come down
Up with the angels and the saints
A silent debutant
Spirit wants to know
Is our faith strong enough
Is our faith strong enough?
I wanna know, yes
Is our faith our faith our faith
Strong Enough?
Oh mama well the pressure
Getting to me
Been seeking the shelter
Of another sweet release- yes
Economics got my people working fingers to the bone
The rich get richness
On the backs of the poor
And silently dreams weep
In the living rooms of homes
TV projects a life so few will ever know
I’m hear to question the way things always been done
Marching steadily on in this army of love
is your faith strong enough?
I want know
Is our faith, our faith, our faith, our faith
Is it strong enough?
We are one if I am dreaming
Wake me up when no more children are screaming
Unlike these chains of poverty
Can a single song plant the seed
That grows this tree
Of love for each other
Whose roots reach deep down in our sacred mother
Kick my bare feet through the
Cracks and the
Concrete and of this old this old city
We are one love
We are one love
We are one oooooooo
And if I die
Lord, I wont be afraid
Mama Ganga Jai ma!
Gonna carry me away
A man not willing to die for something
Really aint fit to be alive at all
So meet me at those holy gates
with faith you need no weapons
Victory is claimed in every breath of good intention
Breathe deep and never stop believing
With the faith of a mustard seed we must move mountains
Is your faith Lord
Is it strong enough?
I want to know
I want to know
Yes
Is our faith
Is our faith
Is our faith
Is it strong Enough?
I want to know
Know our faith is,
Yes our faith is
Strong enough
Is my faith
Is my faith
Is my faith
Is it strong enough?

If she could talk what would mother earth say
Would she pull us close into her chest or turn her head in shame - yes
If they could walk could you still ignore
The next 7 generations that have yet to be born
You seek the truth but will you run and hide
Or will you take responsibility and stand up for your rights ya’ll
Wanna see it 7 billion people strong
With their fists in the air screemin’ “we have overcome!”
So we fight and fight and fighting on
Generations growin up
Rainbow warrior people
Would you please stand up
And we gon fight and fight and fighting on

Clayton Joseph Scott Ashland, Oregon
Clayton Joseph Scott was born in Venice Beach, CA. He began his music career at the age of two when his father bought him a guitar and the “Born in the USA” vinyl by Bruce Springsteen. Troubadours like Springsteen, Bob Dylan, Paul Simon, and Bob Marley, served as the soundtracks of Clayton’s youth, and the art of story telling through song became an idea that shapes his music to this day. ... more
