LYRICS
This could take all day
Waiting for the night
Earth just spins away
From the light
And, don’t forget
The sun won’t set
The Earth just spins away
Sure as death and taxes…
On its axis

This could take all year
To watch the seasons run
’til the Earth gets back here
From around the sun
And, don’t forget
The sun stays set
Earth’s orbit doesn’t veer
Another orbit around the sun
One more orbit!
… just for fun

A do-gooder
Yeah, I know I should’ve

No time to procrastinate

LYRICS
Isn’t it wonderful
Living to see the day
A world so bountiful
Today
Always
All ways tasteful
Now less wasteful

Isn’t it beautiful
Living to see the day
A world so plentiful
Today
Always
All ways hopefull
Now more mindful

Isn’t it emotional
Living to see the day
Love unconditional
Today
Always
All ways thoughtful
Nor more faithful
To humanity
You and me
We

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
If you deem that life is mean
And you paint a bleaker scene
No cherry nor whipped cream
You must know what it means
To be swimming up stream
But if your life’s a dream
You’re floating with the stream

Treatment of a queen
Bring war to the serene
No desire to come clean
You must know what it means
To be swimming up stream
But if your life’s a dream
You’re floating with the stream

Bring blight to all that’s green
Bring rust to every sheen
Self-conscious as a tween
You must know what it means
To be swimming up stream
But if your life’s a dream
You’re floating with the stream

Thrown a curve… careen
Out-of-control fiend
Never part of the team
You must know what it means
To be swimming up stream
But if your life’s a dream
You’re floating with the stream

LYRICS
Do you bleed from a prick of a pin
Do you breath out then in
Did you begin at your beginning
All the same in the ending

When you bleed is it red
When you die are you dead
Did you begin at your beginning
… all the same in the ending

Do you wake up every day
And while your time away
Did you begin at your beginning
… all the same in the ending

Is time of the essence
Is justice held in the balance
Did you begin at your beginning
… all the same in the ending

LYRICS
Suspended disbelief
A miracle’s relief
Wherever the ocean wants to go
The ocean’s shore/sure to go
You know
Can’t you sea?
You can’t get blood from a stone
Better off being left alone
Fortune prone
Can’t we see
(Leave ’em be)
Suspended disbelief
A miracle’s relief
Traverse the girth of Earth
Chapter and verse a fortunate birth
Self-worth
Everyday’s a perfect gift
Why not perfect the lift
Length and width
Suspended disbelief
A miracle’s relief

LYRICS
Who would have thought
Someone like me
In the presence of one
Lovely
At the pearly gate
Lift the world’s weight
Thank God no more wait
Lift the world’s weight
(The foreverness
Of weightless
Wait less
Lessness)

Who would have thought
I’d get to see
The evolution of
Lovely

Who would have thought
I would ever be
The same and one
As lovely

LYRICS
You did it before
Can you do it some more?
Can you do it again
I think you can
Begin again

It should be easy now
You’ve got it down
Find it in you some how
To go one more round

Now that you’re done with your practicing
Maybe we can begin enjoying

The rarity in familiarity
With the essence of a nuance

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
If I’m but a poor pawn biding my time
Might just tempt fate with checkmate
Click bait
Checkmate
Backed yourself into a corner again
Don’t you remember where you’ve been
Move your king to a different square
Go ahead if you dare
All’s fair
Queen beware
We’re almost there

Your bishop prays to an odd god
The crooked rook’s been rooked and took
Use to be knight all day
Now I took it all away
So there
Queen beware
We’re almost there

Lost your castle in a great big hassle
Wow! Can’t hide our hide inside
How there’s nowhere to run
Looks as though your run is done
You care?
Queen beware
We’re almost there

Prescribed scribe
Message bound
Do you have your pad and pencil

Come on! What’s up?
Jot it down
Unpeel appeal

LYRICS
When life gets tough
You’re sure you’ve had enough
Bring on less stress
And play the day away

When life’s too hard
Leaving your heart marred
Bring on less stress
And play the day away

Up in smoke… puff
When the going gets rough
Bring on less stress
And play the day away

Don’t take the bait
Of bringing out the hate
(Hate hate?)
Bring on less stress
And play the day away

Bring on the love
The message from above
Bring on the love

LYRICS
I mean
At the very least
Can we uphold the peace
Come clean
Uphold the peace
Cease the grief
Relief
(at least uphold the peace)

Can you take another round
Or are going down
Muffled hear
Or will we sound
Puzzled here
Or will/we’ll rebound
Peace is found

Banish the brash and bold
Those whose hearts turned cold
Left are those that peace uphold

Embrace
The justified place…
… space

LYRICS
Are you still waiting
For the sun to shine
Out from under your black cloud
The way you’ll find
It starts with the first step
Motivation leapt
It won’t take too much time
’till you’re feeling fine
Anticipation
When to make the move
Don’t want to feel so proud
Standing above the love

It’s never too late
To give-up the wait
Whenever you’re ready
Move forward
Hold steady

LYRICS
Unplug your ears
Face your fears
Let your courage rage
Open your eyes
Realize
Why try to save
Your brave?
While you’re on your way
You were meant to save the day
Stay in play
Beyond grey
Stay in play
Today

Mouth open wide
Share what’s inside
Go on shout it out
When the nose knows
Smell will tell
What it’s all about
Essence of senses
Think instinct
Give a smile and wink
Moral code
Honor code
Into the sunset rode
While you’re on your way
You were meant to save the day
Stay in play
Beyond grey
Stay in play
Today

LYRICS
If you think we could
Do you think we would
Define the “good”
If you think we should
The shine in the moon’s shine
We’ll find
It’ll work out fine
(It works out fine)

Into the fold
Rolled the bold
Strayed from told
Would and could and should
The shine in the moon’s shine
We’ll find
It’ll work out fine
(It works out fine)
