LYRICS
It’s dawning on me
That it’s sunset at Fest
May I suggest
You take a look n’ see

Come on in here
Learn n’ love… hunker
At Bob’s Country Bunker
Enjoy the atmosphere
Memories to hold dear

It’s dawning on me
That it’s sunset at Fest
May I suggest
You hold it dearly

What?
Up from Who Hill
At the Azzoles?
Keep going still…
Just past the Roost… Until
You get a Stage Trip that’ll fulfill

LYRICS
I think I
I think I am
I think I can begin

I think it’s time to think
Crawl out from undercover
Crack a smile and wink
True love can never smother
Hug another like your lover
Hug another like your mother
Hug another

Smile, nod… or just say “hi” as they’re passing by
It’s not outrageous for something good to be contagious

Do my part
To start a heart
Let the hate depart

Ya know hate’s got to go
Pack his bag and stow
On the last train to “I don’t know”

LYRICS
Umh? Yeah! Umh? Yeah!
It’s a celebration
A commemoration
Of comradaration
Ugh huh!

Philly Folk Fest
Destination
Like no other
Memories etched
Not just the jest
It’s the love that5’s best
A community
Camaraderie
Pleasantry

The only way to recognize our uniform
It’s torn
From the battles
We’ve won

Comradaration
Celebration
Fascination
With elevation
Of imagination
A new suggestion
Comradaration

Sensation
Elevation
Beautification
Spiritualization

Posted on by admin

inspired by Mike Garrity, David Hawkins, Eric Laos, Jayar Bass and all the other souls at the party

I’ve seen the strangest things
These past nights
The brightest lights
Happening hues
Giving life clues

I’ve heard the strangest things
These last days
Bands on the banks
Playing the hippie blues
Catching the early rays
With a community born
From love and harmony

They’ve become kin to me
We’re starting to see
What we can do
When we care to share

Everyone sings:
We’re happy to be
In each other’s company
To catch the thrill
Of the soul spill
