LYRICS
Looking to put a little harmony
Back into country
Some transparency
In our dirty laundry

Just the basic fact
Of exactly where we’re at
In our humanity extract

Looking to put a little peace piece
Back in civility
Civil in our civil war
On integrity

Chorus

Looking to put a little pride
Back in nationality
A quick logic fix
In our rationality

Chorus

LYRICS
Oh won’t you take me by the hand
Lead me right to the promised land
I’d love to comprehend
Help me understand
In the promised land

Angels hark!
Noah’s ark
We’ve got to sail out of here / hear

Chorus

Angels sing
A Christmas thing
We’ve got to hail. Shout to hear

Chorus

Angels sing
An Easter thing
We’ve got to nail out our fear
(Break a guitar string)

LYRICS
Little Miss Muffet
Sat on a tuffet,
Eating her curds and whey;
Along came a spider,
Who sat down beside her
And scared (frightened) Miss Muffet away.

Will the scales of justice balance
Society wails for balance existence

LYRICS
Dream like you mean
You’re going to have an impact on the scene
Dream what you mean
Mean what you dream

To You:
May all your dreams come true

Bring about a sensation
All about a good vibration
And, dance, dance, dance
“like no one is watching”
And the dreams you’ll be catching

Inspired by this quote:

There’s a lesson that I need to remember
When everything is falling apart
In life, just like in loving
There’s such a thing as trying to hard

You’ve gotta sing
Like you don’t need the money
Love like you’ll never get hurt
You’ve gotta dance
Like nobody’s watching
It’s gotta come from the heart
If you want it to work.

LYRICS
Return to the age when we were innocent
Let’s set a precedent
We learn to be sage thinking young of age
Turn to the first page

The more you do what you’re told
The more you grow old
Before ya know you’ll try to lie
Taking on more than a bit of hypocrite

The more you conform to the norm
The more you cause harm
You’ll try to get by on the lie
Taking on more than a bit of hypocrite

My Child,
Have we returned to wild
It’s a jungle out there
With all their despair
Don’t mean to bring you down

Crimes of humanity
Greed spreading poverty
The flatulence of our arrogance
Does smell like hell

I met a coupla sisters
They were young at age
But, boy, I became a listener
Once they took the stage

Frozen is nice
Let’s sing it twice

I’ll produce the strings
And you’ll do you things
If you were there…
Frozen… In The Air

The world seems less wild
If you can crack a smile
The beasts turn more mild
Now let’s dance a while

And a 1 and a 2

And Skip to My Lou
Put your left foot in
Put your left foot out

LYRICS
Have you ever been the victim of corruption
And at a loss for what to do
Public corruption in the Justice institution
Consider it ironic? Consider it tainted, too

The police, attorneys and judge to name a few
It’s hard to believe these animals are running the zoo
At a loss for what to do

Have you ever been the victim of a public servant
No one can believe it’s true
The way they manipulate and circumvent
Attempting to leave no clue

The police, attorneys and judge to name a few
It’s hard to believe these animals are running the zoo
At a loss for what to do

LYRICS
Sometimes you think you just can’t lose
And other times you just can’t win
Most of the time it’s hard to choose
If karma is related to sin

These times tat we are living in
Give Mother Nature the blues
Wantin’ and wastin’ without hesitation
As though we have no clues

These times
Are ruled by greed
These times
To succeed or secede
These times
War crimes
These times
Crimes of the century
These times
Crimes of eternity

LYRICS
While under the attack of a hawk
I heard a bluejay say, “Squawk!”
As I looked around…
I found… something fishy… wishy-washy

The mirage of camouflage

All the while your style
Appearing perched on the edge of the ledge
Like you might jump at any moment
But, wait a minute!
You mean…
All the while before a blue-screen
I mean
All the while before a green-screen?

The mirage of camouflage

Gonna call your bluff
On crying “wolf”
Gonna chill your marrow
When you discover you’re really in peril
You’ve become sterile
So much for tomorrow

ABOUT THE SONG

Written and recorded live along the Brandywine Creek between Lenape and Chadds Ford, Chester County, Pennsylvania, USA. It was inspired by the wildlife and the imminent danger that humans present (in particular due to global warming.) There was a sucker fish lying on the bottom with camouflage that made it look like shadows.

LYRICS
If you just have dessert
How can you have “just dessert”
Becoming a spoiled thing

Chorus
When you hide behind a veil
Don’t you think it’ll pale
In comparison
When you scream to no avail
You’ve come to the end of the rail (trail)
Feel compression

If you fail to inhale
How to compare a breath of fresh air
Becoming a soiled thing

Chorus

It’s hard to find the truth
Born silver spoon in mouth
Delivered a thing… spoiled
