Now that we are hear,
We might as well take advantage of… this opportunity.

The opportunity to see… hear.

Now that we are here,
With hear… I can see. c c c c

corrugated,
perforated,
saturated,
human waste

corrugated,
perforated,
saturated,
with a bad after-taste

rinse it clean,
rinse it clear,
wring the fear,
from the beautiful scene.

corrugated,
perforated,
striated,
through the prism threw.

glistening dew,
upon you,
like a new born pup,
you’re looking up

Am I alert,
To all that is?
Am I aware,
Of what exists?

Subsonic,
Supersonic,
Frequencies,
Infrared,
X-ray,
Why the sky is blue,
All day?

Am I alert,
To all that is?
Am I aware,
Of what exists?

Subterranean,
Angels refrain,
Frequencies,
Of inadequacies,
Infrared,
X-ray,
What happens,
When I pray?

Ring, ring, ring,
“God is calling,
On line # 1.”

“Is it hard to put your finger on,
Everything under the sun?

Or, do you wish you were god?
I hear the jobs pretty hard.

At any rate,
I’ll try to appreciate,
The fate I create.

Ring, ring, ring,
“Calling god,
On line #1.”

Won’t miss you,
If I’m with you.
Sincerely,
Me

Ring, ring, ring,
“Calling god,
On line #1.”

Can’t miss you,
When I’m with you.
Love,
Your wayward son

[whistle]
Fido! Come here, my boy
Yo, Fido!

The animals are running the zoo
There’s nothing much
You can do
They’ve broken free
Of all restraint
Now, there ain’t…
A tame point-of-view

Mic check [echo]
Tell your Ma
Tell your Pa
The sheep say baa

Chorus

Mic check [echo]
Tell your brother
Tell your sister
The mounted monkey will twist her

Chorus

Mic check [echo]
Tell your teacher
Tell your preacher
A sounder of swine
Are taking away your liberty…
And mine

A litter of pigs litter the streets
With a pack of mule mentality

My grandma and your grandma
Sitting by the fire
My grandma says to your grandma
“I’m gonna set your flag on fire”

Talkin’ ’bout
Hey now

Look at my king all dressed in red

bookmark_borderWill

What will we will?
Will we will nothing?
Ahh… but, to will nothing
Is to will something still

Sing!
Say you will
Say you will
Then, will it

To your credit
Will it
Needn’t say it
Feel a bit
Then,
Will it

Be it to will
Will it to be
Purely for thrill
Will ecstasy

It will be
Believe
We create
Reality
Negate *Me*
Will it to be
*Me* leave

Universally
Will it to be
Dramatically
No tragedy
Life is ecstasy

I really had been puzzled as to why this was being called a poor translation, as it seemed clear enough to me, but looking at the objections again, I think the assessment of it as an error derives from being over-constrained with the use of the English word “will” β€” using it only in the sense of “I will do it” β€” rather in the sense which here applies, which indicates the presence of “will” in relation to desires and determination as in the statement “I will it to be so.” ~ Kalki 17:46, 16 December 2007 (UTC) [In a reply about: “Große Drache” bit from Also Sprach Zarathustra. “ich will” means “I want”, not “I will”]

“WiLL iT TO BE, so, iT WiLL BE, and, SO iT iS ” (13) ~ Susan Lynne Schwenger

I will it to be so – English
Ich will es so – German
Voy a ser tan – Spanish
Je vais qu’il en soit ainsi – French
?????? – Chinese

B / C
Physical and emotional.

A song about my broken leg and the girl I met the night before… learning to walk again after a broken leg… learning to love again after a broken heart… kind or the same thing? Bringing on the joy, the pain fades away… I’m learning to walk again.

All the clamour
Endless debate
Doesn’t matter
How irrate

Em / Am
‘casuse it’s too late now?
(‘casuse it’s too late now?)

Dm
The less you stammer
The less you state
The more I’d rather
Reiterate

Em / Am
It’s too late now

But, somehow
The stars shine brighter
Laughter
Does away with shadow

Em / Am
It’s alright now!

This song was inspired by:
Edie Weinstein — Noticed something as I am back from the gym & grocery shopping. People seem friendlier, as if relieved that they believe they have been given a reprieve…, lyrics for a great rap song.. Anyone wanna take it and run with it? Michael Franti, Dyana Jean, Daniel Brouse, Robin Renee, Annabella Wood, Cassendre Xavier, this could be YOU! ?

Cynthia Greb — I don’t think it has anything to do with the “rapture” but the SUN!!!!

Edie Weinstein — Not sure, Cindy…I have been out and about on sunny days and haven’t found the energy like I experienced today. Something shifted for folks ? Dyana, you may really want to connect with these fellow musicians. I will send you that list

Dyana Jean — ok thank you love!!!

Edie Weinstein Welll…connect with each other here if you are so inspired ?

Daniel Brouse — yeah!

Dyana Jean — Right on! Just waking up now to find a new connection. Thank you Edie n Daniel. πŸ™‚

One day
A crook
Mistook
Mine for his own
Opportunities
Blown

Chorus:
Why would ya wanna steal from a guy like me?
Can’t you see… do you think I’m blind?
Look what ya took
A gifted tool
To distribute bliss
Now, amiss
Sold down ‘river
Unable to deliver

1.
Once had a tambourine
I could make sing
I could make ring
Feet racing for dancing
The joy it’d bring
Now, something… happened
It’s gone… know what I mean?

Chorus

2.
Once had a guitar
A special 6-string
I could make sing
Hands and feet thumping
The joy it’d bring
Now, something… happened
It’s gone… too far.

Chorus

What justification
For eradication
Of chaos theory
Illumination
When you destroy
Such a toy?
… the smile of a little boy
… homeless, helpless
… to have brightened their day
In some way
Astray
A curse… you placed to follow you
Until leading true
