LYRICS
Dag-nab-it! Why can’t you just remember what this song is about?
I did now don’t

Why can’t you just remember what this song is about?

I was just getting ready to lay down the track
When my stomach had this sort-of weird attack
By the time I got back
My memory was at a lack

That’s why I can’t remember what this song is about
I did now I don’t

It was right there
On the tip-of-my-tongue
I swear
It was right there

Why can’t I remember what this song is about
I did… now, don’t

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Comings and goings
The comings and goings
They say you’re here
They say you’re everywhere

That you’re aware of everything
That you’re there
That you’re in everything
The comings and the goings
They say you’re here
They say you’re everywhere

You are comforting
In all that you bring
You’re comforting
The comings and the goings
They say you’re here
They say you’re everywhere

That when I sing of things you bring
You bring to be me a special thing
The comings and the goings
They say you’re here
They say you’re everywhere

They say you’re with us everywhere

There’s one thing I hope I can convey
There’s one thing I’d convey if I may
There’s only the one thing
That can take you from here
To everywhere
That can take you from here
So you’re everywhere

And, that would be
God Almighty
Then, you can see
To eternity

Your being can be in everywhere

LYRICS
Bring on the lover
Forget the hater
Bring on the lover
No procrastinator

The light will hover
Over you

Smile on your neighbor
Like the creator
Smile on you neighbor
Be something greater

The light will hover
Over you

No collaborator
Of shady character
An elaborator
Of the grandeur

The light will hover
Over you

Welcome to the Land of Wonders.mp3

LYRICS
Welcome to the land of wonders
An experiment in Man’s blunders
Accumulation with the culmination
Man-made self-annihilation

Where fact is stranger than fiction
We’re humans fixed on eradication

Pollution’s fogging up the sky
Never bothering to even ask, “Why”
Pollution’s fouling the waterfowl
We shrug our shoulders and say, “Oh, well.”

Where fact is stranger than fiction
We’re humans fixed on eradication

The natural order we re-arrange
Resulting in human induced climate change
Ice is melting. Sea level is rising.
You’d think by now we’d be realizing

Where fact is stranger than fiction
We’re humans fixed on eradication

If we all tow the line

If we all tow the line
We’ll get there on time

If we all tow the line
We’ll get there on time
Instead of “everything’s mine”

Headed right at you

LYRICS
Do you remember
All those years ago
When you wondered
About the wonders
Of the world

Go swinging on the monkey bars
Dream up things and shoot for the stars
The days when we’d climb trees
Dream of days when we’d look back at these

Chorus

Go swimming on hot summer days
Play you guitar and try to amaze
Make paper airplanes fly with the breeze
Dream of days when we’d look back on these
