bookmark_borderThe Might Of Foresight

LYRICS
This is what you said was to be?
Just wish…
… wish you would have asked me
Your world unfurled
Hurled
Upon the rest of us
Would be no justice
The might of foresight
Might move me a might
Out-of-sight
Into the light
Seeing…
… sawing… the awe-ing
Left around down
Up to desire higher

LYRICS
If this doesn’t satisfy
Your 3rd or middle
Eye
I wonder why

If I can’t justify
Playing second fiddle

Wonder why

I’m going in so deep
My soul starts to seep
And ooze
With more than enough to lose

LYRICS
I’m wondering
Can we keep wondering
All of those
Will expose
We’ll expose

Wisdom tooth

Like pulling teeth
Why live in grief
Can’t you see
You can be
Uplifting
Dreams drifting

LYRICS
Should come as no surprise
Starting to realize
Cut down to size
The devil in the detail
Sold my soul retail
“My way or the highway”?
What a load…
It’s the low road
The high way we foresee
Come quickly
Wrestle me
At the crossroads
Warts of toads
Eyes of newts
I’s of “new it”‘s
Cast the spell
Self-imposed hell
(or)
Livin’ in heaven

LYRICS
So it’s told there is a place
That’s beautiful
In this world there is a race
That’s peaceful
Homo Sapien keep on tryin’
When you fall down
Try and try agin’
Humankind is findin’
Kind is all around
To be found

Yes, they say in outer space
There’s an alien
In the day of this race
Called human
Homo Sapien keep on tryin’
When you fall down
Try and try agin’
Humankind is findin’
Kind is all around
To be found

LYRICS
I hope you’re aware
If you kick the feet
Out from under your chair
Defeat
You won’t be there
Beware!
You’ll be down there

Just a full blown fool
Kicks out the feet
From under their stool
Defeat
Defeat
You won’t be there
Beware!
You’ll be down there

Rollin’ on the floor some more
Do it once, lesson learned
Do it twice, thyself burned

I hope I don’t tug
Pulling out the rug
From under my feat
Defeat
I won’t be there
Beware!
I’ll be down there

LYRICS
Everybody,
Every body will lose their soul
Every sole
I took a stance
At first glance
I had to change my mind
The toll of immortal
Just wouldn’t be kind
My skin will wear thin
My heart might start
To skip a beat
Prone to bone…
Loss from head to feet
Looky there
Too late for my hair
Everybody,
Every body will lose their soul
Every sole

LYRICS
Careful of the floors
Hidden trap doors
Leading to secret corridors
Avoiding the horrors
BY testing the lures
Keep searching for more
Eventually can’t ignore
As the knowledge pours
Elixirs and cures
Freedom roars
Spirit soars
On the tours of trap doors
Voyeurs of wars and czars
Trapped beneath the floors
Under hidden doors
Know what’s in store
Listening to their clever endeavor

LYRICS
Can you believe this, Lord?
Can you believe it
(Leave it)
Board with the sword, Lord?
We grieve
They up it
Watch the fog clear
Hold the loved ones dear
They’re going nuclear
No not missile toe
Tip-toe
Bringing on the bomb
Nuclear
How come?
So dumb
Therefore, why from
No one
The bomb

It is time
It’s time I’m
Cryin’

LYRICS
Are the races
In good graces?
Oh so much strife
In a child’s life
Do the people
Cause a cripple
Oh why the stifle
Of the life-cycle
Wake from slumber
Days are numbered
No matter your “whether”
Come together

ABOUT THE SONG
This song is about the 10,000 missing migrant children held captive by the Trump administration.

Immigrant advocates said they are suing the U.S. government, claiming it is detaining immigrant children too long and improperly refusing to release them to relatives. A federal lawsuit filed last year in Alexandria, Virginia, was expanded on to propose including the cases of more than 10,000 children.

Everyone, including you

LYRICS
Hey, Mack, as a matter-of-fact
Can you spare a piece of gum
If so, I’d love to have some
Hey, Mask, as a matter-of-fact
When you get beneath hair and gum
Our “go”
Is within our sum
And with spirit
Add some
Add some sum toward one
May a Bob Marley heart start
Maybe a Bob Marley heart
To unite a light
The light
Delight
One love
Get together
With delight
