LYRICS
If an angel hit your bug screen
Would you know what it means?
If an angel hit your windshield
Would you feel?

Are you familiar with the real deal
How an angel would feel
Are you familiar with the real deal
An angel is for real

You can thank God for your angels
Just don’t be satanic
And, throw this opportunity away
Forgo this opportunity today

It’s unlikely to come back another day
Don’t let is escape away
You know what to do
If an angel hits your bug screen
You don’t want it to be because you’re mean
If an angel hits your windshield
It would be wise to feel
Wiser yet to deal

LYRICS
Now, here is where I am
Here is where we are
It may appear we haven’t moved far
But, we’ve been there and back again

Now, here is where we are

I’m hoping that along the way
We learned a lesson or two
Some sort-of cumulative knowledge
That will help us gain… an edge
So, we’ll be further ahead
So, we gain an edge
Not be perched on the ledge

Here is where I am
Here is where we are
Though it may appear that we haven’t moved that far
’cause we’ve been there and back again

bookmark_borderForget What You Are Doing

LYRICS
Please forget what you are doing
Can you forget what you’re doing
Forget what you are doing
There’s something more important ensuing
That is worth you pursuing
You’re undivided attention for more than a short span is required
Please, no excuse… you’re too tired
Please no excuses
And, no… you’re not being thrown under buses
It’s time we focus
Time to wake

Can you forget
For a moment
Or, longer yet
What you’re doing?
Whatever it is you’re doing
There’s something over here with pursuing
And, like it or not, it’s ensuing
Right now
It’s not the future
It’s not the past quite yet
But, if you can’t forget what you are doing
It will no longer be present

I’d like to catch it, bottle it, cork it for you
But, it’s going on… and I don’t know for how long

Chasing Rays.mp3 (Free MP3 Download or Streaming Audio)

LYRICS
In these days, we’re all chasing rays (we’re all chasing rays)
In the fray of the day, we’re chasing rays

Searching high and low
Where did the day light go

There should have daylight savings
But, we kept shaving and shaving and shaving
Until there was barely splintered sunlight left

It’s not alright when there’s nothing left

It there’s a shadow in the way
There’s a way to flesh out a ray
What do you say
Let’s step out into the light
Alight? Alright!

In these days, we’re all chasing rays (we’re all chasing rays)
In the fray of the day, we’re chasing rays

ABOUT THE SONG

Bm7 / G / E

Written and recorded on November 9, 2012 in Chester County, PA. It was the first sunny day and warm enough to play guitar outside in a long time. It was also the first nice day since the start of daylight savings. So… I wanted to catch the last rays as the sun started to set. Lack of sunlight tends do cause depression; therefore, I suggest you try catching rays.

LYRICS
You better run n’ get your daughter
You better run n’ get your son
You better run n’ get your mother
Before darkness follows the setting sun

’cause the End Of Times is looming near
The wretched are dooming in fear

You better run n’ get your daughter
You better run n’ get your son
You better run n’ get your mother
Before darkness follows the setting sun

There’s a bend in time we’re zooming clear
The righteous are bounding. How queer?

You better run n’ get your daughter
You better run n’ get your son
You better run n’ get your mother
Before darkness follows the setting sun

The Start Of Times is looming near
Leaving hate far behind… in the rear

LYRICS
Did that tree just try to kill me?

Many dead… mostly from trees.

Geeze.. giving them diseasecreatin a deadly breeze.

Using limb to clobber him from limb to limb
Crushing homes and transportation
Because of our past deviation violation

The fall of the trees
Due to the human disease
The revenge of the woods
Due to too many would-of’s, could-of’s and shoulds
Due to too many wood-of shoulds

You know it must be going over and over in her head

If she ever comes to realize… what she did
Then, you know it’s gotta be going over and over and over
In her head

Must be hard to live with yourself
Over and over in head… over and over and over again
As long as you’re living a life of sin

Over and over again
When you’re livin’ a life of sin… livin’ a life of sin… livin’ a life of sin

It was so out-of-this-world
That it couldn’t have bee real
I mean… what’s your deal

Over and over and over and over again
Gotta re-live that sin
Until you was it clean
Until you’re void of mean

Over and over and over and over and over and over again
Over and over in your head
For all eternity… long after you’re dead
Do you at least regret what you said?

Until you do you do
Likely, be living it over and over and over again
Gotta rid that sin

Must be hard to live with yourself
Over and over in head… over and over and over again
As long as you’re living a life of sin

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
What do I believe in?
I believe in the freedom of speech
That let’s me speak my mind
My right to point out someone viscous, savage… or kind
I believe in the freedom to believe in religion
Or the those that choose no diving discipline
My God!
Believin’ in believing in believing

I believe I can walk the walk
Given the freedom to talk, talk, talk
I don’t believe a bit in being a hypocrite
I do believe we should teach the children this bit
