Are you happy with
The life you choose
Are you happy
Let’s win

Are you happy with
The friends you choose
Do they make you happy
… happy to be alive?
Put your life in overdrive
Let’s cruise

A song inspired by this conversation….
Daniel Brouse asked Edie Weinstein:
What do you think?
Edie Weinstein replied:
About what?
Daniel Brouse responded:
Ha! The world?
Edie Weinstein shines the light:
I think it is a place of divine delight in which we get to create our own vision and live it out. I think we are each responsible for healing it and illuminating the dark places. I love being here. OR were you looking for an answer a bit more mundane? ?
Daniel Brouse:
Perfect! Too bad more people don’t know… heaven is here.
LYRICS
Imagine this…
While having conversation
With Miss Bliss
Somehow we
Miss the bliss
… miss the realization
We’re soakin’ in
Happiness
Heaven on Earth
From our most
Recent birth
No lyin’
We’ve reached Zion
The Promised Land
In our hand
If we could…
But only
Understand
Raise The Dead by The Snake Handling Immortal tongue Speakers
Intro:
Bugle starts off playing Taps
While guitarist *taps* the guitar
You’re gonna raise the dead
Playing music like that
She said,
“This song’s ’bout my son”
I meant no disrespect
I heard what you said
“My son is dead”
“At that time…
… of trouble
Your people
Shall be delivered.
And many of those who sleep
In the dust of the earth
Shall awake.”
Raise the dead
May my spirit
Raise the dead
I can hear it
Raise the dead
Not just inside my head
May we shine
The brightness of the firmament
May we shine
The brightness of the fulfillment
She said,
“That’s my girl
I don’t know who you are
But, you better be special”
You said,
“That’s Daniel.”
[spoken word to bugle and Krista tapping… add pagpipe interweave Amazing Grace ]
“Those who are wise shall shine
Like the brightness of the firmament,
And those who turn many to righteousness
Like the stars forever and ever.”
And many of those who sleep
In the dust of the earth
Shall awake.”
[end spoken word]
Raise the dead
May my spirit
Raise the dead
I can hear it
Raise the dead
Not just inside my head
May we shine
The brightness of the firmament
May we shine
The brightness of the fulfillment
At this time
Your people
Shall be delivered.

A lil’ bird
Flew up to my window
As I was speeding
On my way
Oh, I dunno why
In such a rush
Not stopping
To smell
The roses
On the way
There
And, then
That day
I could see happiness
Will always
Find a way
Fly
Love will fly there
Fly
Feel like ya wanna die
Fly
Will lift you up
Lost hope… wanna sigh?
Fly
You know Roe?
FLY

Sherri Lee
You tempt me
With all that’s good
We could
Sing
We could
Dance
We could do
Most anything
With your power of touch
There ain’t much
Left to chance
You’re not a matter
Of good luck
You’re plain good
When it comes to average
Or extra ordinary
I take the stance —
You’re the latter
(more to come… went from writing this*outside* in my car
to writing *inside* the comfort of the studio as it relates to Sherri Lee being energy out in the world and Sherri Lee making people feel comfortable… warm within)
Sherri
Lee
Certainly
Brings….
All the while,
She’ll gladly do it with a smile
Sherri
Lee
Certainly
Brings
Many good things

Got things to do?
Do you?
You do.
Ooooooo… come and play
For a brief bit
Forget
The trivial
Let’s get real
This day
Feeeeeeeeel
I had to pull into the Wawa parking lot
and, jot this down….
The place I like the most
Is where creation occurs
There’s a place in this lyric
Where creation occurs
There’s a place in this song
Where creation occurs
Doesn’t matter much
If it’s off-beat
To that
Of a different drummer
I’m still amazed
I bare witness
To creation
The place
With the space
To allow the future
To unfold
Or, so I’m told
That’s the place
I’ve been trying to explain
I thought everyone knew
Now, I come to find
More one-of-a-kind
And, for them
It’s something knew?
Well, not a sin
To come on in
Kind-a-like watching
The birth of your child
And, imagining
The point of conception
The creation
That’s the place
Not a sin
To come on in
