Posted on by admin

LYRICS
No, I can’t forget
Won’t forget
All that you’ve done for me
I’m starting to see
The reality
Of we

with no regrets
Ours begets
Look what it brings to me
I’m starting to see
The reality
Of we

No, there’s no budget
For what we’ll get
It’s called pure luxury
I’m starting to see
The reality
Of we

bookmark_borderYour Shoes

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Walk a mile or two in your shoes
Shows me how to see
Blisters forming on my eyeballs
Foreshadowing falls to be
Everybody’s bootstraps
Getting harder to reach
Obese ego’s booby traps
Obstacle we can’t breach
Everybody’s bootstraps

Walk a mile or two in my shoes
Throws me realty
Blisters forming on my heart
Send me back to start
Everybody’s bootstraps
Getting harder to reach
Everybody’s bootstraps
Obese ego’s booby traps
Everybody’s bootstraps
Obstacle we can’t breach
Everybody’s bootstraps
Weigh in the way
Bootstraps and booby traps

LYRICS
You’re exactly where you want to be
It’s in plain view
… can you see?
You’ve already been
Where you’ve already been
So be
No sense rehashing
Again and again
Can you see?
Ask if you can see
Eye to I

You’re exactly where you want to be
It’s in plain view

Again and again

Ask if you can see
Eye to I
I to eye

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
See the bottleneck is building
Soon it all will be exploding
See the pressure as it’s mounting
Up against the cork it’s popping
The road’s fork
Popped the cork

From the mouth it spews out frothing
As the guts spill forth bowels gushing
Problem’s sum/some are more than little
Put it back into the bottle
The road’s fork
Popped the cork

bookmark_borderEternal Springtime

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
When you hear “eternal spring”
What springs to mind
Colors popping will bring
One-of-a-kind
Remember not to stare at the sun
It’ll ruin all the fun
Heart of the sunrise in the long run
When all is said and done
I am seeing
It’s in your being

When you hear “fountain of youth”
What flows to mind
A laughter and playing sleuth
To seek and find
Remember not to stare at the sun
It’ll ruin all the fun
Heart of the sunrise in the long run
When all is said and done
I am seeing
It’s in your being
I am seeing
… in your being
In your being

bookmark_borderSpring For It

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
The green is growing more intense
The sky is more blue, too
The air is fresher… I can sense
Considering what’s best to do
How do we save the planet
From our inhabitance
Is it possible to plant it
With a little more reverence?

Have we caused the balance
To get out of whack
Have we in essence…
Given Earth a heart attack?
How do we save the planet
From our inheritance
Is it possible to plant it
With a little more reverence?

LYRICS
Drip, drip, drip, drip, drop
There’s a problem up top
Glaciers quickly melting
Dropping into the sea
Is the Earth revolting
Guess we’re going to see
… guess we’re going to sea

Splish, splash, slplish, splash, flash
In the fall of our autumn
There’s a problem with our bottom
Glaciers quickly melting
Dropping into the sea
Is the Earth revolting
Guess we’re going to see
… guess we’re going to sea

Catch a honey “be” with sugar
Are you going to let the “be” free?
Living life with vigor
Sure is doing it for me

Feel your heart growing bigger
Now that you’ve set the “be free”

Now that we’ve set the “be free”
Living our lives with vigor
Sure is a fine thing to see

Mad rush
Door dash
Happenstance

Around some sun
