LYRICS
The sooner we start
The further apart
The warmer our heart
Let’s depart

The sooner we start
The further apart
Out of the dark
Let’s embark
(Out of the dark)

Let’s begin climbin’
See how high we can go
I have a hunch
When we reach the next branch
We can see
Glory
(See the light. All alright.)

Join me
Climb a tree
Let’s see
What’s to see

From above
Scout out love
Send the signal
For all

LYRICS
Imagination stimulation –> creation
The possibility of maybe
Envisioned dreams come true for you

In the forest, fast
Find fairies the best
Forget the rest
Pass Mother Nature’s test

What will the field yield
Butterflies surprise
Wind wisped wonders
As blue skies arise

In the forest, fast
Across a carpet of moss
Where the gnome roam
Saying, “there’s no place like home”

There’s wisdom in the stream
Can you see what I mean
Go with the flow
May consciousness grow

Imagination stimulation –> creation
The possibility of maybe
Envisioned dreams come true for you

LYRICS
Late last night
While we where all asleep
California
Got into “pretty deep”
Started singin’
“Fire On The Mountain”
It’s all alight
Gonna be a hot time
In their hometown tonight
Oh, no! There goes Frisco
(Now, we’re cooking with Crisco)

Late last night
While we were in deep sleep
Fire! Fire! Fire!
We didn’t hear a peep
Made a fine whine
Outta fine wine
It’s alight… all alight
Gonna be a hot time
In their hometown tonight
Oh, no! There goes Frisco

LYRICS
Doing the best you can
At being a better man
Better than “I am”… and, then….
Create great “then”
Any time there’s “when”
Universal zen
For them

Despite the gas we’re gunning
The clock keeps on running
Still we’re wondering
How long
To fix what’s wrong?

LYRICS
Do you find the getting hard to go
’cause you’re swimming against the flow
Turn around and get current
Floating in the current
Do you know what I mean?
May I present a present present:
And, help you float downstream
Help you stream your dream
Know you’re in the now
Now, you’re in the know

At present, current with the current
’cause you’re going with the flow
Currently, present in the present
Look at you! Go, girl, go!

LYRICS
Sometimes the road less traveled
Finds one less embattled
Sometimes the long way home
Leaves you home alone

Foresight for a fortnight
Guides you to alright / all right!

Sometimes taking the high road
Creates a burdensome load
Sometimes marching to a different beat / beet
Relieves you of your feet / feat

Sometimes taking the beaten path
Steals your last laugh
Sometimes blinded by your own wrath
Leads you to your death

Foresight into insight
Brings light into sight

LYRICS
What are we lacking
Food, shelter, clothing?
Knowing nothing
Knowing nothing at all
Still we ball
Boo hoo hoo… do you ball, too?
Knowing nothing
Knowing nothing at all
Still I cry… why?

What are we missing
Loving, hugging and kissing
Giving something?
Hugging and kissing
Giving your all
Heed the call (Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Giving your all
I will try (Hi, hi, hi)

LYRICS
The way things are going
We all should be rowing
But the problem with our riddle…
We haven’t got a paddle

Seen in a scene
Life is but a dream?

I saw all these people
In shades of purple
And, you were there… and, you were there
People in purple praying for resurrection
And, you were there… and, you were there
People in purple and upon reflection
Are you aware… you were there?
Purple people eaters… beaters of perfection
I swear
I wish I wasn’t there

Seen in a scene
Life is but a dream?

[row, row, row your boat
Gently down the stream
Merrily, merrily, merrily
Life is but a dream]

ABOUT THE SONG

Mark 15: The Soldiers Mock Jesus
(16) The soldiers led Jesus away into the palace (that is, the Praetorium) and called together the whole company of soldiers. (17) They put a purple robe on him, then twisted together a crown of thorns and set it on him. (18) And they began to call out to him, “Hail, king of the Jews!” (19) Again and again they struck him on the head with a staff and spit on him. Falling on their knees, they paid homage to him. (20) And when they had mocked him, they took off the purple robe and put his own clothes on him. Then they led him out to crucify him.

LYRICS
Makeshift wings from my eyes
What a surprise
It flies

Body and mind
Get together and find
All physical and meta-physics
Combine fine in music

Drift on gravity’s draft
Riff away fretless on a fret

Catch my drift and get a lift
Once you fly you’ll learn to sigh
Ahhhh…

In music… in music

Soaring above any pain that’ll drive you insane
The angels’ refrain:
Soaring love of reign
Soaring love of rain
May it pour some more

LYRICS
I must concede
When I was young
Mama told me
Don’t always believe what you read
As I grew up, it was easy to see
Obviously
Truth in here wisdom… clearly

Over the top ridiculous
I’m talking over-the-top
Say, “Way, way, way”
Over-the-top ridiculous
The illustrious us

Believe it or not there’s a social rot
A conspiracy to create conspiracy theory
Clearly, due to the lack of transparency
As I grew up, it was easy to see
Truth in the wisdom my Mama taught me

Eyeball deep in bull$hit
Throwing a tizzy fit
There ain’t no doubt about it
Probably time we own it

Under the bus
Illustrious us
Ill-us-trio-us

LYRICS
The last time opportunity
Had the courtesy of calling on me
Seized the opportunity
And wrestled with the devil to regain my destiny

The last time opportunity
Had the courtesy of calling on me
Seized the opportunity
Tempted to put the devil out of misery

Like a bull in a china shop
Got the devil by the horns
On top of the world… tippy-top
At the pearly gates an angel adorns

Cross the river? Depends which one She (Lady Luck) picks
Not up $hit crick or the river Styx
In this match, must claim victory
Wrestled with the devil a regained my destiny

LYRICS
I’m getting interference
In the transmission
Are you getting inner fear
In this “Man’s Mission”?

I’m getting interference
In the passage of the message
Final elimination
Is this “Man’s Mission”?

Damnation nation
The Passage Age

I’m getting interference
In the signal to the “All”
Is “The Fall” the inner fear
Transmission of “Man’s Mission”?

Have you heard the dirt
On the men of the Earth/earth
Earthlings
Birthlings in pain
Insane?
I fear there’s no ear in EARth
Can’t seem to hear here
Falling on a deaf ear
We’re breaking up
Breaking up

LYRICS
Too much screen between the scene
Blocking the sun out
Casting a sheen on the serene
Fog it up with doubt

Amaze at the ways we fill our days
Blocking the sun out
When will we begin to let the sun in
Lettin’ the shinnin’ sunshine shine in

I see too much debris in the air
I swear
Sense the fear of the smear
In the atmosphere
Stand clear

Too much mean between the dream
Blocking the love out
Time to shine our glean with the scene
Faith in no doubt
(Our faith in no doubt)

Fogged up
Fogged it up

ABOUT THE SONG
Humans have demanded and created the situation where children have to wear sunscreen to protect themselves from the environment — blocking the sun out. Perhaps the situation is just a microcosm of the larger problem? Adults have clouded the atmosphere with hate — blocking the light out.
