LYRICS
Looks like the rule of the sun is done
After all, it’s turning into fall
There’ll be more darkness than light
Looks like the day is ruled by the night
It won’t be long now ’till the Harvest Fest
On the raised praise may we digest
Dear you hear them warn of a winter storm
Said to feature a severe Nor’easter
I’d hat for us to miss this Christmas
Not to get remiss until Easter
The presence of your presence the present
It’s all that need be sent
Did you hear them warn of a global warn
Growing faster — extreme weather disaster
It won’t be long now. All to the Harvest Festival
On the raised praise. Celestial.
Written and recorded live in West Chester, Chester County, Pennsylvania, USA. Features vegetables ready to be harvested including tomatoes, beans and summer squash. As the seasons change, you have to wonder what will happen to Fall and Winter as the impact of global warming is felt.
LYRICS
You’re never alone on Christmas
Isn’t that what it’s all about?
Feeling lonely is only if you miss
The essence of the Christmas presence
Let’s figure it out?
The love will always be there, I swear
As long as there’s someone…
As long as there’s anyone…
As long as someone cares
That someone could be you
Lord, lordy, Lord, Lord, lordy
Lord, with you…. make two
And, as far as I can see
There’s me
(… that’s three…)
For crying out loud — A CROWD!
Singing Merry Christmas, Almighty
Bless you for taking pity
And, keeping me company
LYRICS
An abominable snowman
Part creature… part man
The part abominable
Most probable
Man
Abominable… causing moral revulsion
Diversion, subversion, exclusion
Time for the inclusion solution
Let’s hope humanity can bounce back
After our ethical attack
Pushed ourselves over the cliff
Mostly over a religious riff
The penalty… swift and stiff
Time to be humble
Overcome our bumble
Do what counts
Do the bumble bounce

“Christians are the most widely persecuted religious group in the world today and this evening we think especially of the Middle East, especially of Egypt, Iraq and Syria,” The Archbishop of Canterbury, Christmas, 2013
This song was inspired by the travesty of religious conflicts and killings during 2013. Unfortunately, the list is too long to list… Shiite, Sunni, Armenians, Christian, Buddhists, Dinka, Nuer, Beni Hussein, Rizeigat, Jews, Muslims… in Syria, Israel, Burma, South Sudan, Central African Republic, Nigeria, Turkey, Egypt, Afghanistan, Iraq… and on and on. Let’s pray we can bounce back.
LYRICS
Ho, ho, ho, hallelujah
Ho, ho, ho, hallelujah
Do you know
How does the saying go?
Recipe for a gingerbread house
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse
Do you know
How does the saying go?
Stockings hung by the chimney with care
Something about roasting chestnuts there
Do you know
How does the saying go?
Dashing… ore the fields we go
Don’t forget the mistletoe
Do you know
How does the saying go?
We three kings of orient are
Do you see what I see… follow the star
Do you know
How does the saying go?
Rudolph with your nose so bright
With a tail… a tail as long as a kite
Do you know
How does the saying go?
Oh, holy night
May all your Christmases be white
Do you know
How does the saying go?
