LYRICS
What’s your take on the take?
What do you make
Of your perspective?

Going reflective….

What’s your attitude on attitude
When it comes to people who are rude
Well, don’t get stuck in that rut
Come on! Give it from the gut

Hey! Hey! Hey!
We’re over half-way
Hey! Hey! Hey!
More than half of the way

’till our cup runneth over
’till our glass is full
’till there is no null… no, no null at all

Hey! Hey! Hey!
We’re over half-way
Hey! Hey! Hey!
More than half of the way

Do you have longitude
Do you have latitude
Well, don’t get stuck in that rut
(Adjusted attitude)
Come on! Give it from the gut

Hey! Hey! Hey!
We’re over half-way
Hey! Hey! Hey!
More than half of the way

LYRICS
Let me tell ya a story
About a little blues
It’s not so much a deep purple
Just a lil’ blues

A little blues
Just add a little green
It doesn’t always have to be on the other side of the fence
Hence…
A little blues

LYRICS
If you get thrown
And fall on your ass
Just be glad
It’s in your past
Ya gotta get up
Get up and do it again

Poor little Jack
Fell down… broke his crown
Still the fact
It’s in your past
Ya gotta get up
Get up and do it again

Hubris
Fell to Nemesis
Falling humbles
No more grumbles
Ya gotta get up
Get up and do it again

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Every day when I think about time
I know I want to make this day mine

Ya know, I want to make it mine
When I get up and start the day
I want to take advantage of all my time
I want to make the day mine
And, when I’m through, I’ll gift it to you

I’m never bored
Or at a loss
For something
Or anything to do
Want to take advantage of all the time
I want to make the day mine
And, when I’m through, I’ll gift it to you
When I’m done
I’ll be the one
There’s nothing better I can do
Then pass the feeling on to you

When I’m through, I’ll gift it to you

I’m so thankful for being given this time
I want to make the day mine

The proof is in the pudding
How can you have any pudding if you don’t eat your meat?

The proof is in the pudding darling
The pudding is the proof

So, it seems the tailor sows a seam to ward off evil

The pudding is the proof

Poof! Let’s see how it cooks up

So, it seems the tailor sows a seam to ward off evil
Yet, still…
Leave some room for freewill

LYRICS
You can be the eye of a hurricane
You can be the face of a cliff
As long as you’re not an old stiff
By keeping an active brain

You can be the moth of a river
You can be the heart of the matter
By keeping young as a mad hatter
You’ll be the one to deliver

Embody the soul
The sole body

Where one and one and one are one
When one and one and one are one

LYRICS
Just when you think everything’s alright
Something comes up to give you a fright
It’s another sleepless night

Just when you think wrong is long gone
A wind of evil up and comes along
You’ve gotta hope your faith stays strong

Just when you think everything’s alright
Something comes along and vies you a bite
You better pray your hope in faith is great

	 Bm                 A
	Baby, do you understand me now
	G                           F#
	  Sometimes I feel a little mad
	      Bm                                   A 
	Well don't you know that no-one alive can always be an angel
	G                                   F#

Chorus:

	D                      Bm                  A
	I'm just a soul who's intentions are good
	G           [N.C.]                     Bm
	Oh Lord   please don't let me be misunderstood

[repeat intro (2X)]

Verse 2:

	Baby, sometimes I'm so carefree
	With a joy that's hard to hide
	And sometimes it seems that all I have to do is worry
	And then you're bound to see my other side

[repeat chorus]

	That I never mean to take it out on you
	G                 A             G       A

	     G                        F#
	And that's one thing I never mean to do, 'cause I love you

LYRICS
Take some blue
Take some yellow
Don’t forget violet
Do you know what I mean?
Take some green
(or mixing yellow and blue will do)
Color a rainbow

Don’t forget violet

If you read the directions, it calls for red
Or, you can always make do by adding some blue
If you forget the violet

(Aren’t-choo glad you got orange?)

If you’re bright
Take white light
With the rhythm of a prism
Separate the aggregate
And, you know you’ll get a rainbow
= rainbow

Like God make a promise such as this
No harm to humans I wish
