LYRICS
Why don’t we live it up
Why don’t we give it up
To that feeling
How we’ll try to live up
No, we’ll never give up
Square peg wheeling
Into the round hole
Making the puzzle whole
Completes the goal

Grow up and go to school
Try to out grow being a fool
Listening to the whispering wind
There’s nothing I love more
Than being an entrepreneur
Figuring out how to win-win
We’re in a relationship
All the world can see
We won’t let stagnation slip
Into our company

Graduate to create
A better pay rate
Won’t look back to where we’ve been
Grow up and go to school
Try to out grow being a fool
Listening to the whispering wind
There’s nothing I love more
Than being an entrepreneur
Figuring out how to win-win
We’re in a relationship
All the world can see
We won’t let stagnation slip
Into our company

No desire to retire
Watching time transpire
Rather keep starting up again
Grow up and go to school
Try to out grow being a fool
Listening to the whispering wind
There’s nothing I love more
Than being an entrepreneur
Figuring out how to win-win
We’re in a relationship
All the world can see
We won’t let stagnation slip
Into our company

bookmark_borderMindful

LYRICS
I don’t want to be careful
All frigid with the fragile
Like a bull in a china shop
The plan is going to drop
Free the spirit
Dream we’re near it
Bring on the merit

I don’t mind being mindful
Let thought out-of-control
Like a bull in a china shop
The plan is going to drop
Free the spirit
Dream we’re near it
Bring on the merit

I don’t wait to procrastinate
To elate
Up the rate
Like a bull in a china shop
The plan is going to drop
Free the spirit
Dream we’re near it
Bring on the merit

LYRICS
When out in front
Don’t look back
The liter’s runt
Leader of the pack
Crank it up
Goin’ gets tough
Not enough

The liter’s runt
Leader of the pack
Take it down
Just the beat
Turn around
To complete

LYRICS
Solid, liquid, gas
The state of affairs I’m in
Is changing fast
Future, present past,
The time we’re living in
Is changing fast
We can change the way
If we want to
We can make the day
To something new
(Give us something to do
So we know what they knew)

Solid, liquid, gas

Chuck Berry, Buddy Holly
That’ll be the day that I die
Said Johnny, “Be good”
That’ll be the day that I die
Said I

Does my heart sing,
Wild Thing?
Lucy in the sky
With diamond dogs
I’d rather drink Muddy Waters
Sleep in hollow logs
I, I, I….

bookmark_borderFronts Confront

LYRICS
Overhead the fronts confront
Overheard North wind’s whisper
Mother Nature’s sister
A cold affront
Well, they don’t make winters
Like they use to
Ole Jack Front can barely do dew
Going to mess the fall feeling
Since the temperature’s gone reeling
Overhead the fronts confront
Overheard North wind’s whisper
Mother Nature’s sister
A cold affront

A song about climate change and extreme weather events.

LYRICS
Adrift on ships of peril
A rift monkeys in barrel
Rescue you
It’s the least you can do
Rescue us
It’s the best we can do?

Adrift on ships of peril
A rift donkeys at burial
Rescue you
It’s the least you can do
Rescue us
It’s the best we can do?

Adrift on ships of peril
A rift honkeys in denial
Rescue you
It’s the least you can do
Rescue us
It’s the best we can do?

LYRICS
Fear not
The valley of shadows
Fear not
And making of windows
The king that wears no crown
Is sure to have your back
Evil backs down
The devil’s in the sack
Don’t look back

Fear not
The valley of shadows
Fear not
And making of windows
The king that bears no crown
Shield shall not yield
Wrestle the devil down
With a kiss…
Signed and sealed

LYRICS
Sirens sounding seriously
Dreams going up in smoke preposterously
If the alarm is alarming
Maybe it’s time to react
We know our harm is harming
That’s just a matter of fact

Sirens sounding seriously
Dreams going up in smoke preposterously
If the harm is alarming
Maybe it’s time to react
We know our harm is disarming
Nature’s under attack

Sirens sounding seriously
Dreams going up in smoke preposterously
When the harm is disarming
Maybe it’s time to react
we know our farm is harming
Nature’s going to fight back

A shooting star
A comet’s tail
Am I going too far
( –> to far)
Let’s raise the bar
We’ll never fail
Am I going too far

While we still feel young
Before we get too old
Our hearts’ song can be sung
As love’s story is told

The sun’s our star
The human’s tale
Am I going too far
( –> to far)
We’ll have no mar
When we set sail
Am I going too far

While we still feel young
Before we get too old
Our hearts’ song can be sung
As love’s story is told
