Posted on by admin

LYRICS
I mean in the grand scheme
What’s a mere human being
If while being the human being
Doesn’t know the meaning of being
Must be out of my mind
To contemplate the fate
Of humankind
I’ll learn in an instant
Life is but a brief bit
I’ll learn in and instant
Live is but a brief bit

LYRICS
Every nook and cranny I look
I see faces in all the spaces
In all the spaces I see faces

How can one not give sympathy
Through symphony
Let the hearts play
On beggar’s day

Play a sympathetic symphony
Away

Pull on your heartstrings
With the bow of what you know
Make them sing
Together we’ll make them sing
Our symphony of humanity
A symphony of humanity

LYRICS
See static electricity
Flowing free… ly (really)
You might say they rub the wrong way
Yet they ignite the light
That magical energy
Sure is shocking to me (really)

See static electricity
Flowing free… ly (really)
You might say they rub the wrong way
Yet they bring a spark to the dark
You might say they rub the wrong way
Yet they arouse a reflex

Yet they espouse to expose the perplex
That magical energy
Sure is shocking to me (really)

bookmark_borderHold It High

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Instead of my head looking down
Time I hold it high… look around
’cause I don’t know but I’ve been told
Every single one of us is growing old
Can’t I see
What’s in front of me
Am I blind
To being kind
To the kind?

Maybe instead of me, me, me
I should take a look around and see
’cause I don’t know but I’ve been told
Every single one of us is growing old
Can’t I see
What’s in front of me
Am I blind
To being kind
To the kind?

Wow! And how… it’s so much better when
You’re aware you’re livin’ in the garden
’cause I don’t know but I’ve been told
Every single one of us is growing old
Can’t I see
What’s in front of me
Am I blind
To being kind
To the kind?

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
It’s no big deal
In the here… the real
There’s only alive
And… not alive
(You heard what he said,
“Live or dead”)
Forget about conspiracy theories
And all that jive
Baseless queries
On the fact
Is whack

If you get down to it
When you get down to it
Forget that bit
It ain’t worth it
Not a life in your staged cage

For sure as future
Shall pass to past
At least for now I know
I’m “here at last”

Please tell me how long…?
How long….

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Though it might be hard to believe
It’s not to late to conceive
It’s the Earth holding you down
And spinning you round n’ round
Keeping your feet on the ground
(Keeping my / our feet on the ground)
Founded in grounded

Is it possible that I am
In a spacetime continuum
Without the Earth holding me down
I’d be “to infinity” bound
Oh, the gravity of my situation
Floating among the constellations

LYRICS
Humbled…
In your presence
I mumbled,
“Your loyal peasant.”
I serve at your will
Deserve to serve
Without you…
I’m nil
Indent
Servant
“Have none. Will Travel.”
In the event,
I may…
After all,
I’m going that way
Indentured
Indent sure
Servant, Sir, vent!
The movement
Of the people
From the steeple

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Looks like the North Star
Has flown South
I wandered too far
With my big mouth
I was lost
And now I’ve found
To come around
Is free at last

Her compass bearing
She’s not sharing
Have i gone astray
Along the way
I was lost
And now I’ve found
To come around
Is free at last

Head for the light?
Alright, I might
Pick-up the pace
At the human race

I was lost
And now I’ve found
To come around
Is free at last

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Close enough for rock n’ roll
That classical practice
Is taking its toll
Yeah, I’ve got the Beethoven blues
Got to part with Mozart
Have you heard the news
Contrived is on the dive
Rock is alive!

Close enough for rock n’ roll
That mechanical heartless
Is taking its toll
Yeah, I’ve got the beat loop blues
Got to part with the no heart
Have you heard the news
Contrived is on the dive
Rock is alive!

LYRICS
Great hindsight
You’ve got that right
We’ve definitely been here before
By daylight
Or through the night
Got to get back for some more
Screamin’ on the way in
Dying all the way out
Hopefully we’re learnin’
What living life’s about
Screamin’ on the way in
Dying all the way out
Same installation
Same destination
Screamin’ on the way in
Dying all the way out
But without a doubt
We choose our own route
I’ll take the high road
Help to lighten your load
Our will are free of destiny
We choose what we’ll be
We choose what will be

… you and me
Every day
We choose the way
Every day
We choose which way
Which way did he go?
I don’t know
Without doubt
We choose the route

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
I don’t know about the cause
But after the alarm
The reason for pause…
Old white men in control
Cause out-of-control
(in, out, in, out-of-control)

I don’t know about the cause
But resulting in harm
Turns us to was
Old white men in control
Caused out-of-control
(in, out, in, out-of-control)

Sounding the alarm for years
[howling and sirens]
Spreading and shedding tears
Now you tell me…
None can see?
Nobody hears?
Old white men in control
Chose out-of-control
(in, out, in, out-of-control
… guess that’s how they roll)

Most shockin’ —
At the peril of their own kin
… the demise of their own tribe
Too late to think to learn to think
EXTINCT!

LYRICS
I’d like to wish you a Merry Christmas
I’d like to wish a Happy New Year
So when it comes to this
Christmas wish
I’ll embrace and hold dear

They call you the forgotten one
Mother Nature’s son
Forgot that to keep you in
Is a mortal sin
Time to think and think again
About letting you out

I’d like to wish you a Merry Christmas
I’d like to wish a Happy New Year
So when it comes to this
Christmas wish
I’ll embrace and hold dear

They say your only goal:
To save our soul
By spreading the Christmas cheer
And ringing in the new year
For it’s not to late to believe
Give to receive
