LYRICS
One step at a time
Pretty soon you’ll find
Climbing the steps of time
One step at a time
Pretty soon you’ll find
Climbing stairs to aware
One step at a time

A letter at a time
Pretty soon you’ll find
Writing a love letter
A letter at a time
Pretty soon you’ll find
She’s in you heart if you let her
A letter at a time

One note at a time
Pretty soon you’ll find
It won’t be long
One note at a time
Hope to write a song
Where I lay it on the line
One note at a time

Ole Folklore.mp3

LYRICS
Are you familiar with ‘ole folklore
About a dragon who thought she could soar
And live forever more
Forever more
See Her fly
Across the sky
Babies cry
Mothers sigh
Overdrive
She takes a dive
Got to strive
To stay alive
And live forever more

Not so cute and cuddly to adore
Breathing fire going into war
Live forever more

Reliving memories from the days before
Wondering if the dragon really did endure
And live forever more

Tales of dragons’ whimsical allure
Eye to the sky and see Her soar
The folklore lives forever more

LYRICS
Going to take a ride
On the outgoing tide
Going to catch a wave
Lifeguards who save
We’re on our way
To save the day

Your current situation
Undercurrent navigation
I’m in to help you swim
The struggle we’ll win
We’re on our way
To save the day

We’re all caught in a squall
Mizzen mast took a fall
Main sail’s ready to fail
Get ready to bail
We’re on our way
To save the day

LYRICS
Will I recognize you
After we breakthrough
When we reside on the other side
Will we begin again
Starting already knowing
Wondering when the outside we’re in
May the blackness of the heavens
Turn to pure white light
Soul is soaked in safe havens
All is justified just right

Dead but not gone
Playing a long song
Through the light of the night… an eternal dawn
In the light incites
Your light is in my sites
I know I’ll recognize your glow
In the light insights
Your light is in my sights
I know I’ll recognize your glow

“The time has come,” he said. “The kingdom of God has come near.”

LYRICS
Any way to say if you’ll be here today
Any way to know when you’re going to go?
We made the bed we’re going to sleep in
Our best friends and closest of kin

Will I sense that my time has come
Give me a chance before I’ve come undone
Rather dance with crazies then pushing up daisies
All too soon we’re howling at the moon
Though I walk in the valley of the shadow of death
Not choosing the path of the devil’s wrath
If She’s calling me to the Promised Land
When it’s time to come home, I understand

In A Mind.mp3

LYRICS
In a mind down in the gutter
Pick it up and feel better
Being kind sure does matter
Me as debtee or debtor?
Waiting at the pearly gates
Don’t wanna be a faster regretter
Is my will free or is it fate’s
Name in The book letter-for-letter?

In line on their judgement day
Will I be searching for words to say
Don’t want it all to end that way
Want to go feet first… no debts to pay

On the fence at heaven’s gate
Don’t want to teeter ‘fore St. Peter
Repent offense ‘fore it’s too late
Wanna be in time with the master’s meter
[Sir Vent your servant]

LYRICS
Why count the blessing you’ve got
If a blessing’s at cost
In the time that’s allot
Each count’s a moment lost

If you try to please
What’s between the knees
Just to get some sleaze
Above all others’ needs
The blessing of bliss
Could all go amiss

If you try to please
The depths of greed
Collecting your fees
Above an other’s need
The blessing of bliss
Could all go amiss

I Have That Feeling.mp3

LYRICS
Why do I have the feeling
That we’ve been here before
Wow! It’s so revealing
Seeing what we’ve in store
A sneaky suspicion
That I’ll come to adore
Love a premonition
Hope to have some more

When you were young you would play
You would play throughout the day
Yearning for earning the learning…
All the way

[Wait! Hang on a minute. Wait for me!]

Hone the intuition
For the miracle of vision
Listen to the gut
No if, and or but
Leaving from the station
Better get on-board
A progressive situation
Thank you! Thank you, oh Lord

ABOUT THE SONG
A song about the secret to the fountain of youth — youth. When you are young, you learn through playing. When you are young, you have amazing powers of intuition. Keep playing.

LYRICS
Can you tell me how you feel
For real
Is your heart an abode
Like-geode
Ugly and hard on the outside
But on the inside… wonder and beauty reside

Can you tell me what’s for real
The deal
Is truth in secret code
Stealth mode
Or is the truth obvious
To each and everyone… of us

How many layers to peel
Conceal
Then will it all erode
Forebode
What’s the substance of your soul
Glass half empty… or half full

LYRICS
There is a feeling in the air
I’ve become aware
Where there’s a will there’s a way
Transform our day

In the ground, the bass sound
Can be found. It’s going down
Feel the beat till you’re complete
On your feet out in the street

The pitter-patter of the water
The cadence of the matter
Marching feet. The walls defeat
Jericho you’ve come to meet

Marching feet. The music’s beat
Leveling walls to the ground
The heart’s beat. The soul’s heat
Feel the sound. Love abound

LYRICS
Darkness descends
The day ends
Quiet takes over as night
Pierce the silent moment
Piercing the silence of my ignorance
The revelation of having a chance
You mean we might have a chance?
Watch my feet doing a happy dance

Just have faith in humanity
And our adaptability
Bring on peace and tranquility
Pierce the silent moment
Piercing the silence of my ignorance
Sure there’s bloodshed
And too many dead
Piercing the silence of my ignorance
The revelation of having a chance
I mean we might have a chance
If we’re apt to adapt the happy dance

LYRICS
You thought the bell had rung
That the fight was all done
Become aware
As you stare into the air
That was just round one

Don’t give up your fight
When you fight for what is right
Keep up the good fight
When it comes to shedding light

Hear my battle cry
“Fighting for peace!”
Here we try, try, try
Getting hate to cease

Did you hear the bell? Did you?
Well, that was just round two
Become aware
As you start into the air
There’s much more to do

Nothing in a cage
