You Get What You Paid For 4.mp3

LYRICS
If you don’t always get what you paid for
Can’t always blame it… on the neighbor next door
If you don’t always get what you paid for
Take a look in your mirror

Turn to sage
And prosper
Turn the page
And foster
Open the cage
And soar….

If you don’t always get what you paid for
Did it ever occur
If you don’t always get what you paid for
That you need to ensure

(The irony
It’s your society)

The Night.mp3

LYRICS
As the dark gives cover
We slip into the night
It ain’t over ’till it’s over
Gotta try with all our might

Close your eyes
And your lids light up
The prize
A loving cup

Your lids like a movie screen
Give light to your dream
On your lids is the scene
Enough to make you cream

Don’t be afraid of the dark
Use your mind to strike a spark
You know you’re never alone
Once the force is known

As The World Turns Part 3.mp3

LYRICS
Is the sun setting
Or is it just rising somewhere else?
Am I just forgetting
Their heavens our hells

At least not regretting
The raising of my self-wealth
Less I be forgetting
Ringing of God’s bells

Then the sun comes ’round agin’
And I start forgetting
The darkness and bloodletting
Light washing away yesterday’s loss with today’s win
Light washing away yesterday’s loss
It’s not just left to a coin toss
Light washing away yesterday’s loss with today’s win

LYRICS
In times of peril
In your darkest hour
Put your hope
In faith

If you concede
It’s a time of need
If your heart does bleed
You can feed
Your soul
With some sole food

In the darkest hour
Embrace are our
Embrace what we are
And put your hope in faith
Give your soul a birth
Awake
And you can be free

If the times are looking a little dim
Let a little light in
Just look for guidance from above
And you’ll find love
