LYRICS
Just in time
Will it become just in time
Just in time

Can we find reason for rhyme
Just in time

A just and democratic society
When thugs that mug don’t gain notoriety
When humanity isn’t a rarity
When love equates to prosperity

Can we get there?
Behaving according to what is morally right and fair
Responsibility aware

Just in time
Will it become just in time
Just in time

Can we find reason for rhyme
Just in time

A just and democratic society
When a lug gets a hug escaping disparity
When first and last come to parity
The reign of faith, hope and charity

LYRICS
Soooo….
This guy who told me he’d be Mayor walks by with a smirk on his face
While this other guy walks by as he’s giving me money, says “This is an insult. I wish I had more to give.”

Which way would you want to live?

Which one has better taste
Which one is less a waste
Which one is wasting space

His 2 cents x 8 +1
Where do you want your soul to run
Grow to know the flow… +1

A dime, some time
A nickle (thinkin’ Lincoln)
and my two cents
… two sense

Shake Your Money Maker

LYRICS
Go on now shake your money maker
Gotta make those coins sing
Come on now make givers of takers
Turn it into a Sunday thing

Chorus
It’s funny how this human race is run
When someone’s lost, how can anyone have won?
And, the band played on under the sun
[alternative verse: Enjoy turning takers to givers… just for fun]

Go on now make your money shake Her
Gotta make those angels sing
Come on now make givers of livers
It’ll never be a mundane thing

Chorus

LYRICS
Though he probably needs it more than me
He decided to give and be
Though he probably needs it more than me
He decided to give and set us free

Change is needed
Change is needed

Take a look around. You can’t help but see
Starvation and poverty
Take a look around. You can’t help but see
People suffering in misery

Your charity is appreciated
Helping others get liberated
Your charity is appreciated
A helping hand is underrated

[start with Morse Code clicking or beeping]
. .- .-. – ….

There’s only one place I know
Where the land is green
And, the sky is blue

There’s only one place I know
With a menagerie scene
And, love for you

Pour the Milky Way
It’s not that far…
Third house from our star

We call Her
Home Sweet Home
Menagerie
Where people roam
Home Sweet Home

Humbleness
Modestly, I gotta say
Er, a…
A beautiful place
To breed our race
Via
Her Graciousness

Home Sweet Home

Intro:
She asked, “How did you learn to shift energy? Did you read up on it?”

Music
It’s kind-of a rhythm mix between Venus and Won’t Get Fooled Again.

Born With It

Em . . . . . . Am
That’s how it is
Em . . . . . . Am
When you’re born with it
That’s how it is
When you’re born with it

C . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Em
I fall to me knees and pray
C . . . . . . . . . . . Em
Thankful for every day
A hall to the free. Not prey
Thankful for everyday

Not sure that shift
Is the right word
More like the sun
Than the moon

I guess we’ll find out
And, way too soon….
And, way to soon….

More like the sun
Then the moon
A fusion
Not illusion
A space time
Rhyme

A fusion
Not illusion
No shadow
Will follow

Jessi’s Song: Audio and Video Recordings / Free Downloads

E major
She walked down the steps
Then, stood next to me
A beautiful sight
She was simply lovely

A major
When she snuggled in close
It was beyond fantasy

G major
The Scent of he hair

A
The gape of her neck

E
I’m aware
(I’m aware, I’m aware, I’m very aware.)

G
The sweetest of lips
A
Her figure. Her hips.
E
All right there
Alright there
On a tear

2.
She sat on a a stool
Pulled in tighter to me
It was obvious
Obvious to see
It was meant…
It was meant to be
And, the stares
The stares at her
But,

3.
Sat upon my lap
On the back of a pick up truck
What the…
And, she could jam
Man could she jam

Physical and emotional.

A song about my broken leg and the girl I met the night before… learning to walk again after a broken leg… learning to love again after a broken heart… kind or the same thing? Bringing on the joy, the pain fades away… I’m learning to walk again.

Dm
All the clamour
Endless debate
Doesn’t matter
How irrate

Em / Am
‘casuse it’s too late now?
(‘casuse it’s too late now?)

Dm
The less you stammer
The less you state
The more I’d rather
Reiterate

Em / Am
It’s too late now

C / Em
But, somehow
The stars shine brighter
Laughter
Does away with shadow

Em / Am
It’s alright now!

It’s quite alright!!!

Posted on by admin

This post is about Notes Of A Tunesmith

Writtin’ music and performing is an interesting thing… that I love to do.

Today, a lady came and had me take money she offered. She said there was too much fighting. Maybe music can substitute?

It’s weird how that works.

The other day a youth brought me a Rita’s waterice. A few days before that the owner of “The World’s Largest Pizza” gave me a slice for playing my guitar.
