bookmark_borderBecause of You

LYRICS
At any rate
Changed fate
And it’s all because of you
No debate
Changed fate
The way you came
To save the day
They say your name
Paved the way

At any rate
Changed fate
And it’s all because of you
No debate
Changed fate
The day you came
To show the way
Wild became tame
The hunter, prey

bookmark_borderMore Moor

LYRICS
It’s a quarter till four
Heading out the door
Grab a guitar
And get down to the moor

Philosopher
Spirit, nature
Thoughts travel far
In the notes by the reservoir

A mental tight rope
With no safety net
A mindscape in scope
In a dimension yet met

bookmark_borderThe Most

LYRICS
For sure to shore
From coast to coast
You people have the most
In a haste for waste
The hosts have lost their taste
Accumulation
Of finite resources
Exploitation
Of origin’s sources

Up to sky high
Down ‘n the valley
From see to shining sea
The hosts have lost their taste
Accumulation
Of finite resources
Exploitation
Of origin’s sources

LYRICS
Can’t stop thinking about you
Wondering what I can do
Won’t stop thinking of you
Until the light shines through
And even then
I’ll think of you, again

Is a crime
All this time
Our love has been buffering
Here we go
Into overflow
Hear we go
Into the flow

Once you grow a set of wings
You’ll know what to do
What love brings your heart sings
Bringing out the angel in you

bookmark_borderToo Many Bones

LYRICS
Can you ever have too many bones
Without worries, pisses, and moans
When you reach a certain age
Do possessions turn to baggage?
Found a bone
Now bury it
Certain zone
To dig a pit
Lost a bone
Now search for it
Move some stone
To dig a bit

Can you ever have too many bones
Without it destroying your home
The constant pressure and stress
Leaves you feeling a mess
Found a bone
Now bury it
Certain zone
To dig a pit
Lost a bone
Now search for it
Move some stone
To dig a bit

Why so long in the face?
On the dream chase
You’re not off base

We have to the best place

Souls explode
Taken a stroll down sunset road
Ain’t time to begin

bookmark_borderSecret Weapon

LYRICS
Quite an abrupt stop
Fall from the top
If you don’t catch a draft
And make it aloft
Your life raft
To a landing oh so soft
Crack a smile
Goes the mile
Create a draft
Make ’em laugh
Humor’s human’s
Secret weapon
… sure does help cure

Strong and steady climb
to the top of your mind
One foot, then another
If you slip, recover
For sure, humor can cure
It’s in our nature
Crack a smile
Goes the mile
Create a draft
Make ’em laugh
Humor’s human’s
Secret weapon
… sure does help cure

Lifting spirits forever high
Sunshine time

bookmark_borderLook Out Below

LYRICS
The bombardier said
“Look out below
This thing’s about to blow!”
It’s not too late
Please don’t hesitate
Might be best to go
Chalk it up to experience
The cost of blind obedience
Dissonance

The commander said
“All you below
… as if you didn’t know”
It’s not too late
Please don’t hesitate
Might be best to go
Chalk it up to experience
The cost of blind obedience
Dissonance

The little ones said
“All you above
What about love?”
It’s not too late
Please don’t hesitate
Might be best to go
It’s not too late
Please don’t hesitate
To let hearts grow

LYRICS
Philadelphia or bust
We know it’s a must
It’s time we move
To brotherly love
Ole Putin’s war
Is Satan’s whore
It’s time we move
To brotherly love
Where the only thing reigning from above
Is our love

The helling of shelling
Embalming from bombing
Washed away
When the only thing raining from above
Is our love
Like a twister, sister… and brotherly love

On second thought
Why not
Give ‘er another shot

LYRICS
Is The End drawing near
Will the dust ever clear
Is the ending in sight
Will the tunnel bear light
After the starless night
We gain insight
The dawn of a new day
Isn’t far away
The End we needn’t fear
Surely, we’ll see clear
Igniting the light
So that just is right
For us
