bookmark_borderBeen Having Been Be

LYRICS
Watching the bows bowing
As the leaves are blowing
… in the wind
Making the mind wander
The intellect wonder
Be to been
(In the wind)
Again and again
Been having been be
I’m starting to see….

Been having been be

LYRICS
That boy went off
Like a half-cocked gun
Better take my advice
And run, run, run
Half-cocked
Cell blocked
Half-baked
… just look at all at stake?

That girl went off
Like a half-cocked gun
Let me tell you
That ain’t no fun
Half-cocked
Cell blocked
Half-baked
… just look at all at stake?

LYRICS
Have to wonder why
Makes you want to cry
Enough time has passed by

LYRICS
The sky is finally clearing
The miracle of why
There is no use in fearing
Take a breath and sigh
And though it may feel strange
You know that you can change
The outcome of the story
We’re making history
The sky is finally clearing
The miracle of why
There is no use in fearing
Take a breath and sigh
(Sigh… high)
We just have to see
A little more clearly
Open our I’s
And realize

The sky is finally clearing
The miracle of why
There is no use in fearing
Take a breath and sigh
And though it may feel strange
You know that you can change
The ending of the story
We’re making history
The sky is finally clearing
The miracle of why
There is no use in fearing
Take a breath and sigh
(Sigh… high)
We just have to see
A little more clearly
Open our eyes
… realize

I hope to know
The meaning can’t be fleeting
I hope to show
True loves heart is beating
And maybe
We can find our way to being kind
And someday

Hate will save your from your bind
And maybe
We can find our way to being kind
And someday
Our kinds’ peace we will find

LYRICS
If this is not the way things that are are suppose to be
I suppose you’ll want to be calling it destiny
The answer’s in your calendar
The way you will tell your time
The question’s whether you squander
All the time that’s “mine”

Couldn't get much higher

Out to pasture think it's safe to say

Time to open fire

And we don't need the ladies cryin' cause the story's sad   Ah ha
          A7                                           B7

LYRICS
The way the thing goes
I don’t know… who knows
If what you’re left with
Is a bit of mammoth
After all has come and gone
You know it can’t be long
When all that’s left of you
Is a finite residue
Between now ant then
I am up to begin
With a little more carin’

… a finite carbon residue
Between now ant then
I am up to begin
With a little more carin’
(Do, do, do)

LYRICS
Adrift in the day
Time is on the way
Might as well start
To sift through the weigh
Worthwhile the stay
Living from the heart
The by way
Being the high way / highway
The “my way”
Takes the backseat
On holiday
Pick up the beat

Woah, woah, woah
Can’t say can’t
No, no, no

Determining the altitude
Help to shine it bright
Standing in the light

To sing about a higher thing

Woah, woah, woah
Don’t say don’t
No, no, no
