Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Hoping the days don’t fade away
Before the kids have a say
The power to understand
Lay in their hand
They’re looking out for all of us
Making the world more fabulous
They’re looking out for all of us
Giving faith to Miraculous

Hoping my days don’t slip away
Before the children make way (make way!)
The power to understand
Is at their command
They’re looking out for all of us
Making the world more fabulous
They’re looking out for all of us
Giving faith to Miraculous

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
As we start to round the bend
To The End
I begin to see how we’ll begin
Again
A new way to see ultraviolet… x-ray
A knew way to be
A non-violent all day

As we start to round the bend
To The End
I begin to see how we’ll begin
Again
A new way to live
Carefree freewill
A knew way to give
Start the heart we will

As we start to round the bend
To The End
I begin to see how we’ll begin
Again
A new entity
Collective our soul
A knew clarity
Extrospective our goal

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Back to the dark
Headed to light
Out of the dark
In to insight
Just like you said
It’s happening
Inside my head
It’s happening
On the start
To the hear
And back again

Not looking back
Headed to light
Getting the knack
In to insight
Just like you said
It’s happening
Inside my head
It’s happening
On the start
To the hear
And back again

Back to the dark
Facing the light
Head out of dark
In to insight
Just like you said
It’s happening
Inside my head
It’s happening
On the start
To the hear
And back again

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Just turn around
See what’s been found
Just turn around
There’s a whole world
To unfold
To envelop
Outside the envelope
Just turn around
See what’s been found
Just turn around
[Dm7(11) jam]
There’s a big wide world
Yet to view
And a lot of things
Left to do
[A lot of things I’d love to do
With you]
[A / Am jam]
Just turn around
See what’s been found
Just turn around
There’s a big wide world
Yet to view
And a lot of things
Left to do

Hard to choose
Just can’t lose
If picking both
is not a choice?
Might as well
Roll the dice
Craps! Snake eyes
Tell no lies
Keep rollin’

Hard to choose
Just can’t lose
Baby needs some new shoes
Hard to choose to lose
If picking both

Keep rollin’

bookmark_borderIf Only….

Posted on by admin

If only it was that simple
Maybe it wouldn’t be such a gamble
Start The End in a scramble
Broken eggs
Does your luck have legs?
Break a leg
On my knees and beg
the odds are at odds
The risk of the risk
Take in to account
Lief’s amount

If there were just no mistakes
Maybe there wouldn’t be so much at stake
Start The End with an earthquake
Broken eggs
Does your luck have legs?
Break a leg
On my knees and beg
the odds are at odds
The risk of the risk
Take in to account
Lief’s amount

LYRICS
I didn’t hear the light switch click
Now I’m standing here
In the dark
Waiting on that magic spark
… on a lark

I didn’t know the sun went down
Don’t know where to go
In the dark
Waiting on that magic spark
… on a lark

Now come on
Who pulled the plug
Waiting on dawn
Through the dark
Waiting on that magic spark
… on a lark

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
The problem with a couple
Wher4e you run into trouble
The problem with a couple
You’ve only two
(Limiting what you can do)
But much of the time
It works just fine
You can’t lose
With a pair of shoes
A pair of glasses
Also passes
Burt if you ask me
For several
Need at least three

The problem with a couple
Wher4e you run into trouble
The problem with a couple
You’ve only two
(Limiting what you can do)
But much of the time
It works just fine
Gotta love
A pair of gloves
Can’t compare
to a matching pair
Burt if you ask me
For several
Need at least three

LYRICS
There’s a ripple
On our surface
There’s a rip in
The human race
So it seems
Our seams
Need sown
No deceit in deficit; to own

Is there a tear
In the fabric
Is it hip
Or is it tragic?
So it seems
Our seams
Need sown
No deceit in deficit; to own

LYRICS
Do you have a healthy superego?
Feel guilt for your wrongs?
Do you know
Or same ole song
Won’t be long
’til we go

Have a healthy superego?
Won’t be long before we go
Right the wrong…
Before we go
You know
Superego’s health
Check the temperature, for sure
Feel the forehead
Make sure you’re not dead

LYRICS
Did you hear that sound
Underfoot
Uh oh! Must’ve stepped in it
Hate to look and see what’s found
Uh oh! Hate stepping in shhhhh…

And that last step is undone
Yeah, the misdone is undone
So there’s no misstep regret
Noooo… no need to fret

LYRICS
Far wide ocean
Large sea
When compared to me
The tide rolls in
High tide
Magnified
My position

Big, big mountain
I see
The valley in me
The tide rolls in
High tide

My position

Forever sky
All the stars
Compared to where we are
The tide rolls in
High tide
Magnified
My position

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Daylight grows shorter
The night rolls over
Another moon’s quarter
Nightlight discover
Their days reflected rays
Lighting up our way

Wintertime moonshine
Clear sky… scene glows
Black n’ white fine line
Casting shadows
Their days reflected rays
Lighting up our way

Winter solstice
Live days in dark
Seeking justice
Equinox embark
Their days reflected rays
Lighting up our way

LYRICS
Into the stars…
Mind travelers…
Are
Thinking at the speed of light
Careful, don’t want to miss that right
Right? Right!
The high road over the low
You know? You know!

Into the stars
It wasn’t that far
You’re there
Always been… just unaware
We’ve all been beings
Already there
In the stars

LYRICS
Escaping from the blackhole
Gotta get the light to be whole
[Heartbeat]
Reaching escape velocity
Freedom is at hand
Freedom is at hand
Freedom is at hand

Escaping from the blackhole
Gotta get the light to be whole
[Heartbeat]
Reaching escape velocity
Freedom is at hand
If we can just find a place to land
The gravity of the situation
The duality of illumination
