LYRICS
Heartfelt moment
Heartfelt moment

When you sing Christmas carols in your native tongue
I feel the Earth is as one
Heartfelt moment
It’s a heartfelt moment
First, my spirit went silent
Then, it skipped a beat
When you throw out conceit…
When you throw out defeat…
Heartfelt moment

Wait a minute
No, don’t wait a minute
I feel your spirit
Not only can I hear it
I feel it
Deep within
Heartfelt moment

bookmark_borderRed Cups (The Holy Grail)

LYRICS
Good God! Oh, my God!
… turn it to some heavenly colour.

I’ve been inspired to write a new lyric based on your inspiration.
It’s entitled “My Red Cup” (working title The Holy Grail)
All hail The Holy Grail
My cup is red, but usually only on Easter… er, a… I mean Good Friday. Better yet, roll it out during The Last Supper. “Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life.” Now that I think about it, red cups for a long weekend would be Kosher. (Jesus! After all, I am a Jew.) Start with the plain red cup… then by Easter Sunday (when I rise)… turn it into some heavenly hue. If it’s not too much to ask of you? All hail The Holy Grail!

Laying Down The Lord.mp3

A wise friend once explained to me: in Hebrew the word “Lord” means “the Law”. The Law is: do unto others as you would have them do unto you.

LYRICS
I find it hard to be
Believe
Be leave
Believe
Three kings would come to see
The birth of me
Once more… bearing “Gold, Frankincense, and Myrrh”

Poor ole Pa didn’t get to poke Ma
Didn’t even get to poke Ma
Poor ole Pa

Not like I could invent “The Rule”
I’m just a fool
If you treat others like they treat you
We’ll get through
See the heavenly view?

It’s why I find it hard to be
Believe
To Believe
Believe!
Three kings would come to see the birth of the likes of me
Of the likes of me

The first time ya feel all alone
When they drive the nail through the flesh and bone
Drives the point home
They drive the point home

I… I… I’d been crucified
I’d been crucified
At first I thought I’d died
Turns out… I reside
I reside
In the house of the holy Lord
In the house of the holy Mother
The holy ghost
Hope to die

I had to try
I couldn’t give up and die
Had to try

Yet, still
The freewill
Of the three kings
I just couldn’t believe
Three kings would come to see the birth of the likes of me
Amazing
Three kings

I can’t tell a lie
That’s why
I try
Try, try, try
To do unto others
As I’d have ’em do to I

I try to keep in eye
As I’d have ’em do to I

LYRICS
Thought it couldn’t get much stranger
There’s a babe lying in a manger
Little Boy Blue come blow your horn
The one not to call himself King has just been born

Thought I heard angels
Trumpets and bell jangles
Little Boy Blue come blow your horn
Lookin’ like the New Day is born

Swear I saw a comet
A tail (tale) ya can’t forget
Little Boy Blue come blow your horn
There’s Good News for the people to learn

In the beginning,
God created the heavens and the Earth
So She could give us a mortal birth
To love

In the ending,
Forever compass
If we should get lost, She can guide us
… through our mess
To love

Every now and then
I start a wondering
When the human race
Will embrace the space
To love

When everyday is Christmas
It’ll be hard to miss
Her eternal closeness
Giving us the bliss
To love

Love tidal wave
Mass Christmas
Let the love save

May we never forget nor neglect

LYRICS
Jesus!
Oh, my God
(ooops)
Oh, oh… how odd
To claim you as my God. My God!
We won’t be one ’till I’m done?
Guess it won’t be ’till I’m dead
That being said
Hope I haven’t made my bed
Gotta lie in it
Gotta die in it
Forgive me Lord
For I have sinned
Sinned again, again, again
What’s been has been
Has been
Now I’d love to start again
Love love to start again
Love Love to start again

LYRICS
The funny thing
He never called himself king
The Prince Of Peace
To say the least

I’m going to Bethlehem
I am
I’m going to Bethlehem
To behold him

Hey, hey, hey, ya!
In Judea
Joseph went up from the town of Nazareth in Galilee
So, the angels could sing and dance merrily

Suddenly a great company of the heavenly
Appearing with the angels, praising God and singing,
Glory to God in the highest heaven, and on earth may peace never cease

A celebration right at hand
It’s the Grand Celebration
Celebration for the benefit of Man

A benefit to rid the hypocrites
Loosen up… raise your cup!

A benefit where all can profit
Loosen up… raise your cup!

A benefit for humans to commit
Loosen up… raise your cup!

LYRICS
As the mercury drops
Expectation tops
Awaiting the first flake
Old man winter awake!

Rousts Jack Frost from slumber
Makes the child in us wonder
Dash for the window
Watch the faces glow

Ho, ho, ho

At the first snowflake
Out with the tongue… intake
Covering the treetops
Hoping it never stops

The roads start to cover
School’s gonna be over
Anticipating what we know
Early dismissal here we go!

Ho, ho, ho

LYRICS
Does exploitation of the Christmas Spirit make you wanna cry?
When I see the twinkle in a child’s eye
Then, I know exactly the reason why

The exploration of the Christmas Spirit when you give a toy
Doesn’t matter if they’re a girl or boy
It’s not the cost of the gift they enjoy

Why not give a thought
It amounts to what counts
Why not give a thought
It surmounts the account

LYRICS
If the thing you like the most about this time of year
Are how tipsy people get after a dose of Christmas cheer
Here, hear, hear!

Punch drunk (I thunk punch drunk I thunk…)
Hit in the head with thoughts of love
Punch drunk (I thunk punch drunk I thunk…)
Hit in the heart with the light from above

Oh ya know I hate the debate of Merry Christmas or Happy Holidays
Religion is blind when it comes to being kind and how it saves in so many ways
Rays, rays, raise!

Get knocked out of the place where there’s any space in the race for hate
Even Scrooge shed the stooge when he saw his fate… it’s not too late
Unburden the weight
Please don’t wait

I thought we were gonna have some fun?
Looks like the fun’s come undone
Am I stuck here with you feeling blue

The wrought of gotta get coming on?
An addiction to shoppin’ consumption
That I don’t know… (sorry) I gotta go

Ya know… I’m feeling a little bit better
And I don’t wanna end up a soul debtor
Shall I open my ugly Christmas sweater?

If you don’t know whether you can weather the family get-together
Remember you won’t be around for ever
Let the fear give way to Christmas cheer

Ole man winter is at it again
Chillin’ my bones deep within
From the tips of my toes
Right up to my chin

Ole man winter is at it again
Keepin’ up with the Jones
Get the shopping woes
A fight you can not win

Ole man winter is here once again
Put up the tree get out the trim
Ole man winter brings on lovin’
As we sing a carol and hum a hymn
It warms the chill within
