LYRICS
When the reaper comes for you
What are you going to do?
When malice confronts Alice
Through the looking glass?
Chorus
The humans in their zoo
Try to weep ’till they’re blue
Your haggis is the stew
Anyone have a clue?
When the creeper is stalking you
What are you going to do?
When ill-vice confronts justice
There’ll be no free pass
Chorus

LYRICS
The Delaware is running high
Thanks to the banks
For keeping us dry
While on the other side, the well runs dry
While where the well runs dry they cry,
“Is salvation hiding nearby?”
Flanks of the ranks
Make trying a try
While on the other side, Fat Cats — big, fat & wide

ABOUT THIS SONG
This song was written on South Street at Penns Landing along the Delaware river in Philadelphia, PA (after a record rainfall.) The polarity of the flood and drought conditions around the world is used as a metaphor for the polarity between the “have’s” and the “have not’s”.

LYRICS
From here to there
Will the weather be fair
The path is clear
End moving ever nearer
The clouds roll loud
The rain reigns rain
Washing pride from proud
Pointing out the sane brain
Can we live
Our ability to give
Take on parade
Vulnerability we aid
ABOUT THIS SONG
This song was written in Conshohocken, PA as flood warnings were realized.

LYRICS
If your prayers come true
Whatcha gonna do?
If your prayers are answered
Who will be mastered
Will your freewill be cancelled?
If so, ain’t that a hazard
Your illusion shattered
Wouldn’t you rather bathe in laughter?
Do you remember laughter?
May it flow like water
Wash the slaughter from our blotter
In the long run, the truth will matter

LYRICS
We need a “look out” look out
Do you know
What will it take to soften the blow
Can you show
How to fulfill the missing link?
It’s not as hard as you think!
It’s not as hard as you think!
Do you know
Which direction we should go
Does time flow
As though… life is just… must just be a blink
It’s not as hard as you think!
It’s not as hard as you think!
When we learn to look deep within
We’ll begin
Looking out
Look out!

LYRICS
Please
Wrap your arms around me
And, give me a lil’ squeeze
So I realize upon release
The loves around to see
Seize
Every moment
As if they’re all keys
To open the doors of happiness
Full of love and nothing less
Chorus
The more I get to know
The better the show
Such a delight
May it last all night
Lookie there
Smells in the air
Wafting through the breeze
And, I realize if I open my eyes
The loves around to see
Our bodies are love’s home
I feel it deep inside
Pounding of the heart
Start
Feeling it in the bone
Chorus
Repeat 1
The more I get to know
The better the show
Such a delight
May it last all night
Such a delight
To gain insight

LYRICS
I was scared
Unaware… unaware you were there
What a surprise to realize
The view is you
Startle
End-all
Guardian through and through
Sometimes I forget
Which way to spell it
God, dog… Dog, god?
Finding the meaning odd

LYRICS
May the wind and rain
Wash your troubles away
May the wind and rain
Blow your troubles away
Ya better batten down the hatches
Secure to the floor with latches
Ya better make sure to secure
(Please) Ensure we have a future
May the surf and tide
Wash your troubles away
May the surf and tide
Ride your troubles away
There’s a storm a comin’
Can’t ya see it loomin’
Gonna scrub us clean
Revitalize our scene

LYRICS
If the words don’t come right to me
Guess I’ll just have to see
What’ll be
Children of the sun
Coming out to have some fun
When children start dancing merrily
Guess I’m considered
Lucky
Children of the sun
Coming out to have some fun
Last thing I remember, I was writing a song
Then you came along… the smile on your face lit up the place
Now I forget what is going on
Ohhhhhh, la, la, la
Ohhhhhh, yeah
Children of the sun
Coming out to have some fun
ABOUT THIS SONG
This song was written while sitting on the corner of High and Market Streets in West Chester, PA. It was the first nice day of Spring, so I wanted to get out in the sun. I didn’t have lyrics in mind. Instead, I looked around. Here is what I found.

LYRICS
It’s been a while since we’ve been together
Seems like it’s been just about forever
Hope you managed through the stormy weather
Whether it’s thick or thin
Feel my love within (x2)
If you’re feeling down on your luck
Just about ready to say, “What the *&$%!”
Pick the guitar up and start to pluck
No doubt
My love, you’ll never be without

LYRICS
Everybody’s yellin’ about the watermelon
When you’re chewing down
And you’re down to the rind
Instead of gnawing on
And starting to whine
Maybe it’s time to find another peace
Maybe it’s time to for a brand new peace
Everybody’s yellin’ about the chicken
When you’re chowing down
And you’re teeth gnash the bone
Instead of gnawing on
And starting to moan
Maybe it’s time to find another peace
Maybe it’s time to for a brand new peace
Dance to the music of life’s picnic

LYRICS
If we’re gonna go
From here to there
Gotta start to show
That we’re aware
As a matter of fact,
It matters where we’re at
I think we know
No time to spare
It’s time to grow
The love we share
As a matter of fact,
It matters where we’re at
Imagine that…
It matters where we’re at

LYRICS
I don’t know… if for you it comes slow
For me it comes rushing in
Spiritually inspired inspiration
Takes form in creation
A give and take flow
She gives, and I glow
All my show… I’m hoping to grow
Praying I take it all in
Imagination dream injection
Take form in creation
