Posted on by admin

LYRICS
You can say that again
And, how…
… wow… now
Somehow
Got to find some higher ground
Take a step back… look around
See all there is to see
All a being can be

You can say that again
You can say that again
And, how…
… wow… now
Somehow
Climb up to some higher ground
Get a glimpse of looking down
See all there is to see
All a being can be

You can say that again
You can say that again
And, how…
… wow… now
Somehow
Pull you up to higher ground
Show you what can be found
See all there is to see
Be all beings can be

LYRICS
Are you satisfied
Before you’ve died
(Are you satisfied?)
Are you satisfied
At the way you live
Are you satisfied
At the way you give
When the afterlife
Is calling you
Have you paid your due
As the afterlife
Starts calling you
What will you do?

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Could have would have
Come to understanding
If could would have
Tried
Would have could have
Been left standing
Instead the world
Cried
It’s in the hands of Man
Don’t you think we can?

Could have would have
Been left standing
Instead should would
Die
Now, that we’ve come to understanding
Don’t you think we should
Try
It’s in the hands of Man
Don’t you think we can?
It’s in the hands of Man
Don’t you know we can

bookmark_borderEvening’s Way

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
The bright blue hue
Is starting to fade from view
Evening’s due
A guitar busk
On the verge of dusk
Mental roadtrip is a must
It’s out of body or bust

Shades of gray
As the bright blue hue fades away
Evening’s way
On the verge of dusk
Mental roadtrip is a must
It’s out of body or bust

Shades of gray
No looking back turns to black
Evening’s knack
On the verge of dusk
Mental roadtrip is a must
It’s out of body or bust

LYRICS
Get up!
And shake off some of that dust
Don’t ya think
That it’s a must?
Got down, down, down

In the nitty-gritty
Up to my neck, neck, neck
In “what the heck?”
Oooooooh
Soooooo
Get up!

LYRICS
In a dream
(So it seems)
1 o’clock
Knock knock
At the door
Flat on back
Feat of feet
Hit the floor
Am I dreaming any more?
Awake or walking in my sleep
To take or giving to think deep?

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Though my bags are packed
My engines on
Rest assured
I won’t be runnin’
Needs fulfilled
Nothing lacks
Look to the dawn
Hearts are cured
Now that there’s lovin’
Look to the East
You’ll see peace
Look to the West
The End Quest
Look to the North
You’ll see worth
Look to the South
For self-worth

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
She said,
“If it’s not one thing or another….”
To bed
If it was my way
And she had her druthers
We’d wed
The notion right out of her head
’til dead
Love potion
Might be feeding her head
Upon introspection
I see her reflection
Ripples upon pond
Expanding beyond

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
A full moon is rising soon
Shadows are on the prowl
Rising soon under the full moon
The dogs are on the howl
Bark at the moon
A lunar loon
Thick in lunatic
All turns bright
The moonlight
Arranging what’s made of night

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Mountain calling
Built on rock
Fountain spilling
Building block
Over the stone
The waters flow
Below they go
Flowing home?
Off to see the sea
Temporarily
At a rapid rate
Evaporate
Being flown home?
Drip drop
On mountain top

LYRICS
It starts to get through
Through and through
It starts to get through
… way past due
Jack be nimble
Jack be quick?
Maybe Jack’s a little thick

It starts to get through

It starts to get through
… way past due
Jack be humble
Jack be dick
Maybe Jack’s a little prick?

It starts to get through
Through and through
It starts to get through

Jack be nimble
Jack be quick
Maybe ole dog learns a new trick

Posted on by admin


LYRICS
My lack of focus
… has…
Led me to bleed like this
Though I’d love to reminisce
I’ve got to tend to is
So, focus don’t leave me now
We gotta pull through somehow
Some how

My lack of concentration
… has…
Led to complication
Know I’d love to reminisce
But, I’ve got to tend to is
So, focus don’t leave me now
We gotta pull through somehow
Some how

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Did you see all you wanted to see
Will you be all you wanted to be
Come back
Give it a second look
Come back
You can write a different book
Comeback

Did you get all you could get
Will you be without regret
Come back
Give it a second look
Come back
You can write a different book
Comeback

Did you reach your life’s goal
Or did time take it’s toll
Come back
Give it a second look
Come back
You can write a different book
Comeback
