Posted on by admin

LYRICS
If you’re seeing only shades of gray
Maybe today is your day?
Here’s a hue for you
The least I can do
Painting with a palette that runs deep
Primarily primaries start to seep
The colors flow
Come to know

Know it’s not all black and white
Maybe today set it right?
Here’s a hue for you
The least you can do
Painting with a palette that runs deep
Primarily primaries start to seep
The colors flow
Come to know

If your fray day turns black
Maybe “we” have what “you” lack
Here’s a hue for you
The least we can do
Painting with a palette that runs deep
Primarily primaries start to seep
The colors flow
Come to know

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Took the path the crow flies
By then I knew
Path of least resistance
Realized in an instant
Appreciate the ride
Alleviate the inside

Out of the cuckoo’s nest flew
Could’ve been me… could’ve been you
Path of most resilience
Realized in an instant
Appreciate the ride
Alleviate the inside

Up in smoke through the flue
Ashes to ashes… dust, too
Circle of life comes due
To the heart be true
Appreciate the ride
Alleviate the inside

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Chasing after your dreams
Made as easy as it seems
An easy scene for you
To make your dreams come true
Take your black and white
Just add some color
All will be alright
Left with just enough wonder
Wonder of surprise
Wonder to realize

Chasing after your dreams
Made as easy as it seems
An easy scene for you
To make your dreams come true
Take paint by numbers
Between lines color
To life from slumber
Left with just enough wonder
Wonder of surprise
Wonder to realize

Chasing after your dreams
Made as easy as it seems
An easy scene for you
To make your dreams come true
Take a drab outlook
Add attitude color
Author of your book
Will a sequel follow?
Wonder of surprise
Wonder to realize

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Try not to let the rhetoric
Ever get you down
Put my faith in the music
Found heaven in the sound
Shine insight
Into the light

If it gets too hectic
Then to slow it down
The rhythm of the music
Found the pace in sound
Shine insight
Into the light

When the atmosphere is septic
No fear to flush it down
Rise up with the music
Elevate with sound
Shine insight
Into the light

bookmark_borderWhether or Not

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Does it all depend on the “whether” (whether weather)
Comes down to The End on the “whether” (whether weather)
The whether or not
The winds in a knot
Give it what you’ve got
Why…
Or why not?

Does all life mend on the “whether” (whether weather)
What of love will send of the “whether” (whether weather)
The whether or not
The winds in a knot
Give it what you’ve got
Why…
Or why not?

Does the whole truth bend on the “whether” (whether weather)
Understanding lend on the “whether” (whether weather)
The whether or not
The winds in a knot
Give it what you’ve got
Why…
Or why not?

LYRICS
Slow down
Back up
Come on
Let me grab hold
Slow down
Back up
Come on
We’re growing old
I’m hoping you’ll see
And wait for me
Open your eyes
And realize
… mean…
We’re on the same team

Slow down
Back up
Come on
Let me grab hold
Slow down
Back up

We’re growing old
Wait! Wait for me
Ohhh! Can’t you see
Along the ride
Let’s turn the tide
… confide…
We’re on the same side

Slow down
Back up
Come on
Let me grab hold
Slow down
Back up
Come on
We’re growing old
If you wait for me
You’ll surely see
We — me and you
Make dreams come true
… being…
Human beings

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Down is up and up is down
What we’ll be will soon be found
The dirt’s in the sky
The sky’s on the ground
Won’t make good to cry
Made our cage now bound

Down is up and up is down
What we’ll be will soon be found
River in the sky
Is bound to come down
Won’t make good to lie
The sea’s above the ground

Down is up and up is down
What will be we’ll soon be found
Can’t breath the sky
It’s a cause to die
Best to reason sound
While above the ground

LYRIC
Once we set sail
What is our tale
Wallow and wail
Ride out the gale
Will the going get tough
The seas are rough
Can we ride out the storm
Better sound the alarm
Less harm

What is our tale?
Said we couldn’t fail
Never does fail
Flew of the rails
Will the going get tough
The seas are rough
Can we ride out the storm
Better sound the alarm
Less harm

Wallow and wail
Legs surround tail
Coffin’s last nail
End of our tale
Will the going get tough
The seas are rough
Can we ride out the storm
Better sound the alarm
Less harm

LYRICS
Milk, milk milky way
Star spangled fray
What turns by day
Ignites the night
It’s one race
Humans set the pace
There’s one earth
Where we all gave birth
The same verse
There’s one universe
Plain to see
From our galaxy

Our closest star
Isn’t that far
Call it the sun
Our annual run
It’s one race
Humans set the pace
There’s one Earth
Where we all gave birth
The same verse
There’s one universe
Plain to see
From our galaxy

Didn’t plan it
Landed planet
Luck in my stars
Venus and Mars
It’s one race
Humans set the pace
There’s one earth
Where we all gave birth
The same verse
There’s one universe
Plain to see
From our galaxy

LYRICS
Can you give me the time of day
I seem to have lost my way
Found my space
But displaced
In the continuum
Found my space
But displaced
I am
Found my space
But displaced
In the continuum
May I continue on….

Can you give me the time of year
Even what season’s drawing near
Found my space
But displaced
In the continuum
Found my space
But displaced
I am
Found my space
But displaced
In the continuum
May I continue on….

Can you tell me day or night
I’m searching for the light
Found my space
But displaced
In the continuum
Found my space
But displaced
I am
Found my space
But displaced
In the continuum
May I continue on….

An American rag
’bout ‘merican tag
An American rag
’bout ‘merican tag
Tag! You’re it
Lag… times a bit
No icing left on the cake
If all there is is take, take, take

An American rag
’bout ‘merican tag
An American rag
’bout ‘merican tag
Tag! You’re it
Lag… times a bit
What’s all this reign from above
Who remembers love, love, love?

An American rag
’bout ‘merican tag
An American rag
’bout ‘merican tag
Tag! You’re it
Lag… times a bit
If you’re living life in competition
Destined for desolation

An American rag

An American rag
’bout ‘merican tag
Tag! You’re it
Lag… times a bit
What’s all this reign from above
Who remembers love, love, love?

LYRICS
Been here before
You abhor war?
I really don’t know where to begin
Man upon Man again and again
Definin’ sin

Still back for more
Not enough gore
I really don’t know where to begin
Man upon Man again and again
Definin’ sin

It reigns the poor
The same ole’ tour
It rips and roars
We have no more more
(no more)
I really don’t know where to begin
Man upon Man again and again
Definin’ sin

LYRICS
Who said nothing’s easy
Did they ever try to be
Everything is easy
If you’re living to be free
Hard knock schools
Freedom rules

Who said living’s easy
Must have been in ecstasy
When the living’s easy
On the high road naturally
Hard rock blues
Freedom rules

Are you living easy
Or is easy uneasy
If you were to ask me
Have you questioned destiny
Self-doubt fools
Freedom rules

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Out of the frying pan
Into the fire
Shout out to trying Man
What will transpire?
Can we roll with the waves
Float above
What’s our role?
Who behaves?
… and what about love
What will give
What will I take
The more I live
The more I’ll make
What about love
Don’t forget about love
Won’t forget about love

Roll out of the bed
Onto the floor
Deaf to what is said
Or wanting more?
Can we roll with the waves
Float above
What’s our role?
Who behaves?
… and what about love
What will give
What will I take
The more I live
The more I’ll make
What about love
Don’t forget about love
Won’t forget about love

Breezes blowing
The streams flowing
Knowing growing
Sing!
Walk to the ledge
Look over the edge

Walk to the ledge
Look over the edge

Crossroads forking
Future’s lurking
Growing knowing

Look over the edge
And pledge
