LYRICS
Are the colors muted to you
Or is vibrance seeping through
Through the fog, the clog, the cloud
Poppin’ n’ screaming outloud
Applaud?
… (pause)…
Applause
Amplifies the hues
See the sight
From the brightest blues
To deep, deep midnight
Intensifies my eyes
The bling makes it sing
To a mighty fine shine
Bestow
Know the rainbow
Is a light years so far from here
Behaves as rays and waves
Seam of particle and beam
Casting a shadow of what we know

LYRICS
Interlope the universe
Chorus and verse (converse)
Chorus and verse…
Vice-a… ah….
Damsel in distress
To rescue from this mess
I confess…
… speechless
Knight in shinning armor
Or, dark demeanor (meaner) of shadow
To know…
… for sure
Interloper of the envelope
Elope beyond
Be on
See beyond the galaxy
Be yond

LYRICS
They say you are what you eat
So why not be a treat?
They say grasp the victory
From the jaws of defeat
New history
Victory
Try to fly…
Fly with eagle’s wings
Then, on high…
Hear your universe sing

To be or not to be
Why such a mystery?
Blank page of your story
Scribe your tribe’s victory
New history
Victory
Try to fly…
Fly with eagle’s wings
Then, on high…
Hear your universe sing

LYRICS
It gets rated: complicated
Just a little bit
Translated: complicated
The nail’s head hit
Quite a fuss
About the calculus
Between us

It gets rated: complicated
Just a little bit
Translated: complicated
The nail’s head hit
Down the path
Of the math
Around wrath

It gets rated: complicated
Just a little bit
Translated: complicated
The nail’s head hit
Trying to see
The geometry
That shapes “we”

The shapes to come
Untangled… undone

What’s this inner bliss?
Hope you do not miss

Are you “You are what you eat”?
Does your drummer beat
To a different beat?
Do da, da, dancing feet

Knowing inside all is well
Heart rage you can quell
You are starting to jell

Am I part of the cure
Got to wonder…
For sure
Got to wonder…
If sure
Got to wonder…

Can’t let myself seize
When I’m down on my knees
Please….
Where do I reside
Deep down inside
Will I find out
What I’m all about

LYRICS
You don’t forget what your focus is on
You forget what to focus on
The water’s boiling over
The cake is going to burn
Will I come to discover
Will I ever learn
Rock-a-bye maybe
On the tree top
When the bow breaks
The baby will drop
The cradle will rock
Those high stakes
Those high stakes of maybe

LYRICS
There’s an angel of fortune
Watching over my shoulder
Co-authors the tune
As we both grow older

Watching over me
Helping me to see
The path ahead more clearly

Helping guide me
To where to be
Closer to the heart, dearly

Looking out for me
Guarding that we’re free
Protecting fiercely

LYRICS
Aren’t you glad
You’re glad
Instead of mad?
Not wasting away
Good times
You could have had
Glad for the glad that’s had
Since a lad
Self-made, I’m
Not wasting away time
Aren’t you glad?
Glad for the glad that’s had
Maybe a tad more glad
To add to the glad tab
Aren’t you glad
Glad for the glad that’s had?

Done with fate

LYRICS
with a wit to kill
The knife of life
With a bit of thrill
Arrive @ alive
Send x,x,x’s & o,o,o’s
Virtual hugs and blown kisses
Who knows?
Enough shoulder shrugs
And, near misses
Select x,x,x’s & o,o,o’s
However remote the vote
Hugs and kisses
At the end of the line
The end of my time
Hear the rhyme
Endure under my signature
Love,
… x,x,x’s & o,o,o’s

PS I love you
