bookmark_borderStop the Crying

LYRICS
You can hear them crying
From the mountain
You can hear them crying
To the sea
Oh, can’t you see
They’re crying for me
And they’re crying for you
What shall we do?

You can hear them crying
In the country
You can hear them crying
Downtown
Oh, can’t you see
They’re crying for me
And they’re crying for you
What shall we do?

We can stop the crying
In the city
Could pity
Those in the wood
Oh, can’t you see
They’re crying for me
And they’re crying for you
What shall we do?
They’re crying for you
They’re crying for me
They’re crying for we
Weeeeeeee

bookmark_borderThe Storm

LYRICS
We better prepare for the storm
If we intend to stay warm
When we lose the light
We’ll be dark all night
When we lose the heat
There is no retreat

We better prepare for the storm
If we intend to stay warm
Might be stuck for days
Blocking all our ways
Nothing left to eat
Without a (re)treat

We better prepare for the storm
If we intend to stay warm
Nothing much to do
At least I’m with you
Might just be a treat
A private retreat

Rendezvous with you
(You, too?)

bookmark_borderFor the Birds (Sweet, Sweet Harmony)

LYRICS
Don’t count your chickens
Before they hatch
They said
What if they’re born dead?
While I’m having them scrambled
Is what’s going through my head
The everyday irony
That is presented to me
Choose agony
Or sweet, sweet harmony

Bird in hand
Is worth two in the bush
They said
What if they’re not for dead?
While I’m setting them free
Is what occurs to me
The everyday irony
That is presented to me
Choose agony
Or sweet, sweet harmony

LYRICS
Over the top
Under the neath
Showing the teeth
Smile! Why not?
When you put on a happy face
You tend to light up the place

Over under
In between
Why not ponder
Crackin’ up the scene
When you put on a happy face
You tend to light up the place

Above beyond
Beyond above
Become the dawn
Shine on the love
When you put on a happy face
You tend to light up the place

bookmark_borderThe Meaning of Life

LYRICS
What’s the meaning of our life
It’s much to short to tell
Find the answer on the other side
Might do just as well
… so long as it’s not hell

What’s the purpose of goodwill
Sometimes it’s hard to tell
To let some empathy instill
Might do us all well
… might keep me out of that hell

What good is peace on Earth
If no one’s here to tell
Extinction rules out their birth
To late to say, “Oh, well.”
… likely be living in that hell

LYRICS
May you day run strong
Your shadow grow long
May your thoughts run deep
Your heart never sleep
Be the light
In the darkest night
Out of sight!

May your days run long
Your heart beat strong
Pleasant thoughts to keep
Dream harvest to reap
Be the light
In the darkest night
Out of sight!

May your days run on
Above under the sun
Thoughts that rhyme with beats
Living life complete
Be the light
In the darkest night
Out of sight!

Silently moves
Through the darkness of night
Rightfully proves
To keep faith in the light
Now the dawning is coming
Will we wake?
How the darkness is done
Delight make
The light… illuminate

Silently moves
Through the darkness of night
Rightfully proves
To keep faith in the light
It is crystal clear
Dawn has come
Breaking sun is here
Light has won
The rays in melodic phase

Silently moves
Through the darkness of night
Rightfully proves
To keep faith in the light
Be the source
Light the night
Illuminate
Elucidate
