LYRICS
Working smart is a real fine art
Getting harder everyday
… in every way
Job, life will rob… you’re arm they’ll lob
Mourn the turn of your first born

What are you suppose to do
Just trying to get through
How are you suppose to learn
Where you’re suppose to turn

Working hard for the final yard
Getting smarter everyday
… in every way
Robbed by the job… stolen heart throb
No relief any day
… in any way

LYRICS
The older I grow
The more I know
How little I know

Before you grow old
Travel the world
Let you story by told
(Go! Go! Go!)

While you feel young
Find the harmony among
Let your song be sung
(Ohh, ohh, ohh)

Sun rose 1,000 times
Over a 1,000 “I am’s”
We’re in Fortunate Times
(Know so little woe)

The older I grow
The more I know
How little I know

LYRICS
What does it take to quench your thirst
Head out feet first?
Aching for your bubble to burst
Head out feet first?
Heading out feet first

At best you jest
Forget the rest
Head out feet first?

In his head, quest of dead
Heard he said, better off dead!
Head out feet first?
Heading out feet first

Are you livin’ a life that’s cursed
Head out feet first?
Bide your time become well versed
Head out feet first?
Heading out feet first
Head out feet first

bookmark_borderRainy Day Hearsay

LYRICS
Did you hear say
Did you hearsay
It’ll pay
Save it for a rainy day
It’s raining. It’s “pooring”. Couldn’t get up in the “mourning”.

Well, that will depend
Are you ready… really ready
Really ready to spend
… does it depend?

At what cost is lost
Odds of a coin tossed?
Hedging the bet
… bet against
… against regret
Hedge the bet against regret
It’s raining. It’s “pooring”. Couldn’t get up in the “mourning”.

bookmark_borderSomething From Nothing

LYRICS
Isn’t it something
When there’s nothing
Isn’t it something
When you’re gone

Though only a moment
Without movement
Though only a moment
It’s been too long

When nothing is something
And something is nothing
Hearing Nature-all sing
When I’m gone

Evolving from nothing
Evolving from something
Back into nothing
Stardust to stardust

bookmark_borderWhy Worry?

LYRICS
Maybe I can’t say
That there is no way
To fret and fray
Regret each day
Can’t worry your troubles away

To begin
Worrying
Lets death in
Through the doors
Through the pores
’til only woe endures

Let out a sigh
Don’t wonder why
Everyone will die
Relentlessly try
We’re all still going to die

bookmark_borderThis Is Love (Words From a Wedding)

LYRICS
The way they look into each others eyes
It comes as no surprise
Another sure sign is the way they pine
When fate separates

This is love!
This is love!
Who doesn’t know,
This is love!

One understands when they’re holding hands
It’s plain for all to see
Two hearts as one under the sun
“I do” for eternity

This is love!
This is love!
Who doesn’t know,
This is love!

She loves his style of courtesy
When it comes to “loving me”
He loves her style — generosity
Spreading smiles… living free

This is love!
This is love!
Who doesn’t know,
This is love!

bookmark_borderWedding Day

LYRICS
I’m really happy to say
It’s your wedding day
I’m really happy to see
It’s come to be

The bearer brings
Hearts opening
Our angel sings
As you exchange the rings

The guests all dance
Around your romance
The Best Man’s speech
“Love’s within reach”

Can’t hide the feelings inside
When it’s time to kiss the bride
Champagne and presents
Essence of effervescence

LYRICS
What am I living for?
I’m counting out time
… is there more?

You know it’s true
What keeps me livin’
This life I’m given
… is you

What am I living for?
Just counting out time
To earn another dime?

What am I living for?
I’m counting out time
… a death I can’t endure

What am I living for?
I’m taking in time
With reason and rhyme
That’s what I’m living for
