Also known as Bringing On The Smiles

LYRICS
If you’re in doubt (scream) throw it out
Don’t be afraid to turn your inside out
The angels at your destination
Are cheering in appreciation

The glowing of the character… bringing on the smiles

The thumbs-up, coin-toss, head nod, universal signal

Thank you. I can never have to many
Styles of smiles
Tokens of appreciation
Styles of smiles
Stokin’ love combustion

Making Of Mind

Posted on September 12, 2012September 12, 2012 by admin

LYRICS
Though the choices are vast… wide
Decide
Have a vision and make a decision
Is it in your essence to influence
A positive outcome… by acting smart
Not dumb
All the while
In fun
While not bothering to think “How come?”
Make it done
You’ll find
Making of mind
Will be your litmus test of us
You’ll find
Making of mind
Will determine your test of time

Written and recorded on September 10 and 11, 2012 in Ambler, Valley Forge, West Chester and Marsh Creek State Park, Pennsylvania. It is about making your dreams come true.

Worldly Beebop

Posted on September 8, 2012September 8, 2012 by admin

LYRICS
The crowd… they hear it
Building community spirit
Worldly beebop, beebop, beebop

Catch a buzz
Rise above
Be the beebop

The age of youth
Believes in growth
Caterpillar evolves into butterfly
Why not I?

When I eye I, I see
I can be the beebop
With those rising to the top
Cream of the crop

ABOUT THE SONG

Engine Imagine

Posted on September 8, 2012 by admin

LYRICS
Love that’s made from first aid
Live your life like you wouldn’t trade
Put yourself out… don’t be afraid
Step it up… raise your grade
Guaranteed you’ll be repaid
You weren’t meant to wade
Dive in before you fade

There was a little engine
That thought he could
He could use a little push
If you would

There was a little imagine
A thought that would
2 in the hand
Verses 1 in the bush

Understand
Imagine

Please do not resist the assist
A request for aid
Has been made

Offering heart felt help

LYRICS
At the heart of the matter
Is it for better or for worse
To water you can lead the horse
But, to think you can make him drink

At the heart of the matter
I’d rather pursue the better
Method, path or way
For now pray the body will stay
’till the mission is seen through
Behind the curtain… under the veil
When we do our due
And, all shine together

At the heart of the matter
We all shine together

Turn The Corner

Posted on September 4, 2012 by admin

LYRICS
If you’re feeling blue
There’s something you can do
Just turn the corner
(remember turn the corner)
Up, up, up, up, up
And, smile a while

Splash on some happiness
Let it wash over you
Overcome. Be overlord
Of the darkness

Awash in the happiness
Part of the song and dance crew
Overcome. Never board.
Smack on the lips with a happiness kiss

At the end of your lips
The corner of your lips
Do away with the dips
Turn it up a bit
