LYRICS
I’m starting to see you bleed
Your true colors
It’s me that has to plead
Yet, you that hollers

How ’bout we plant a seed
See what we can breed
Harvest what we sow
Reap what we will know

Now, that we’ve grown so many
Why don’t we give some away
Even if just a penny
Is spent in the right way
… is sent in the right way
A cent sent in the right way
Yes-sir-eee
Smells good to me
The scent of a cent sent

bookmark_borderFollow A Star

LYRICS
How bizarre
To wonder how far
To follow a star
Plan to make it my destiny
To clearly see
On the road, my destination —
To infinity
How bizarre
To wonder how far
To follow the star

No gold, frankincense or myrrh
Who could ask for more
Though I’m not a wealthy king
In the heart, all of my love I bring

How bizarre
To wander so far
To follow a star
Plan to make it my odyssey
To finally see
On the road, my destination —
To infinity
How bizarre
To wander so far
To follow the star
(chorus)

LYRICS
As a matter of fact
The front and back
In relativity
Are exactly
The same
Your reference frame

The start or stop
Bottom or top
In relativity
Are exactly
The same
Your reference frame

Why have a fight
Over left or right
In relativity
Are exactly
The same
Your reference frame

The distance
In frame of reference
The individuality
In you to me

bookmark_borderKick-it

LYRICS
As they pick up the fear
Kict-it into gear
Overdrive
Plunge and dive
With hands as fast as lightning
World’s a little less frightening
With wit to cut to the quick
Sense of humor’s sick

As they pick up the fear
Better seer clear
On the verge
Adrenaline surge

As they pick up the fear
Virtue hold dear
Overdrive
Staying alive

LYRICS
Is it up… to the little things
To trip you…
Is it up… to the little things

Somehow got to be now
Obstinate to obstacles
Laugh if it tickles
Hammered to sickles

LYRICS
If you offer your hand, I’ll take it
If you offer to help, we’ll make it
’til death do I die I won’t quit
You and I (Touch the sky)
Partners in mortality
Yours in eternity
Mine in brevity
Humanity

Servant to your authority
Of freewill and autonomy
… though in brevity
Humanity

Soul-dier in unity
Thriving on giving
Among the living
Humanity

LYRICS
Wrap yourself in your birthday suit
Christmas is on its way
For at the core… at the root
The birth is the day
[The birthing earthling
To day, today, too day]
The day you were born
And now forever yearn
We learn
Heaven and hell torn

In “The End” the message you send
It the answer you receive
And would you believe
The message your receive
Do you believe?
(Miss Christmas)

LYRICS
Do you hear war drums
Cat n’ dog at it again?
Flash of firing guns
Let the war games begin!
Once cannonballs are flying
Youth rising are dying
Time we end the debate
Over hate
(No debate. End the hate.)
The left and the right
In the middle between their fight
Brings out the fright
They may never see the light
Dropping like flies
Got our rights in their sights
Everyone dies
They say,
“Live to fight another day”

LYRICS
Time to put a myth to bed
Welcome to my head
See what realms we can find
Welcome to my mind
The clock is ticking
While the thoughts are dripping
I’m surreal, and I’m sublime
See reality kick into double-time
No fear to begin
Come right in
After all
Plenty of room in the back of the skull
Moments never dull

bookmark_borderSlow Down

LYRICS
Ever since I was a young boy
My Mama would tell me, “Son,
Slow Down! There’s no need to run
Slow Down!

Slow down!
Don’t you know that haste makes waste
Slow down!
Steady pace that wins the race

But, slow down and smell the roses
One supposes you can’t get them to go?
I don’t know…
When it comes to wasting time
It makes no reason or rhyme
However, to this very day
I can still hear my Mama say…
Slow down!
Don’t you know that haste makes waste
Slow down!
Steady pace that wins the race

LYRICS
Can you feel it, too
We know what to do
Can you feel the temperature dropping
Look outside! The snow is falling
Stop on by we’ll take it higher
Let time transpire by the fire
Can you feel the mistletoe calling
Get your present and stocking stuffing
Give the dog a Christmas bone
Then, we can be all alone

LYRICS
Gather round enjoy the sound
Hope and joy and cheer are found
All around
Holiday bound
Fill your cup and drink it up
Make the most… propose a toast
All “a round”
Holiday bound
They say this is the day
Earth was given the birth
Make the most of a heavenly host
Propose a toast
Refreshment in merriment
Feel love come in from above
Spirit moving near it
Can you hear it?
Cheer it!

They say this is the day
Earth was given the birth
Make the most of a heavenly host
Propose a toast

bookmark_borderGone Mad

LYRICS
Too bad… mad
In every sense
Or lack there of
Membrane dense
Heart without love
Mad… angry
I can see
Mad… crazy
Sad to see
Insane in the membrane
Just hate does remain?
Where to begin?
“Don’t let them in!”
Another hypocritical sin
Jesus! You claim religion
And, dig your heels in
You claim, “America first!”
Yet, native blood you thirst
Just another rampant tangent
Bible thumper stumped
Gone mad… sad.

LYRICS
Losing all respect for the country folk
Living in sin… part of a bad joke
Redneck hate hoping we’ll choke
Oh, Lord, help them see
They need religion more than me
Oh, Lord, show them light
’cause racist bigotry just ain’t right

High hypocrisy the least of the crime
With that laundry list they should be doing time
Redneck hate dissipates too late
Oh, Lord, help them see
They need religion more than me
Oh, Lord, show them light
’cause this ignorance bliss just ain’t right

Every time they shout “U.S.A.”
Someone should show them the way
Redneck hate dissipates too late
(chorus 1)

Losing all respect for the country folk
It’s a sin the fun that they poke
Redneck hate hoping we’ll choke
(chorus 2)
