Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Why don’t you go
Right ahead and say what you mean
I’d love to know
What gleam there is to glean
All of your passion
Rapped up verbally
Wrapped in your fashion
Compassion nobley
So sweet you speak naturally
A sweet refreshing treat

Now that I know
In your head just what you mean
We’ve got to go
Surreal in the serene
All of your passion
Rapped up verbally
Wrapped in your fashion
Compassion nobley
So sweet you speak naturally
A sweet refreshing treat

A song about The Human Induced Climate Change Experiment

LYRICS
You’re the wet dreams
Happening in my genes
In a turning of the tide
Saw the sky open wide
Water, well…
It’s hard to tell
If it’ll be
How it’s ever been
… again

While in route caught a drought
About to find out… about
Water, well…
It’s hard to tell
If it’ll ever be
How it’s been … again
It’s hard to tell
If we’ll ever see
If we’ll ever be
Where we’ve been… again

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Out of your cage… was it self-made?
About your rage… think it will fade?
Does the further away you roam
The distance put to your home
Impact the way you fell
About what’s real
Feel real
Real feel
Feel real
Feel free to join hands
Across all the lands
Everyone understands
Everyone can see
A peace / piece
Of love
In harmony

Didn’t you know… you’re free to go
Why so slow… on with the show
Does the further away you roam
The distance put to your home
Impact the way you fell
About what’s real
Feel real
Real feel
Feel real
Feel free to join hands
Across all the lands
Everyone understands
Everyone can see
A peace / piece
Of love
In harmony

Out on your own… fell alone?
Isn’t Earth everyone’s home?
Does the further away you roam
The distance put to your home
Impact the way you fell
About what’s real
Feel real
Real feel
Feel real
Feel free to join hands
Across all the lands
Everyone understands
Everyone can see
A peace / piece
Of love
In harmony

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Woke up
Got up
Headed out the door
Once more
Why wear a suit and tie
Up to the day you die
What for?

Wake up
Get up
Then head out that door
For sure
Why wear a suit and tie
Up to the day you die
What for?

Woke up
Got up
Opened up the door
For more
Wear wings to touch the sky
Fly high
Won’t ever die
Strive to stay alive
Thrive

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Shake your assets
Give ’em a shake
See if it’ll take
Shake your assets
Give ’em a shake
See what they’ll take
’cause I’m warning you
The value
Is going down

The higher the tide
The lower you ride
Talkin’ saline
Know what I mean?
Feel the Earth move
Under my feet
To the beat

bookmark_borderThe Art of Living

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Always keep a sharp blade
Never cut toward yourself
To avoid the bleed
Believe
Something you do not need to experience
To know it’s best not
Like to succumb to age
Kicked off the world’s stage
Buried deep
Innards seep
And left to rot
It’s best not
(Take my word… it’s best not)

Somethings you’ll forever experience
Especially the essence of presence
Live while alive
Why not?
Something you do not need to experience
To know it’s best not
Like to succumb to age
Kicked off the world’s stage
Buried deep
Innards seep
And left to rot
It’s best not

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Start climbing
Going to climb to the highest branch
The more skill the less chance
I’m climbing
Going to climb as high as I can
Climb this tree
See what I see
Every direction 360 degrees
Extrospection behumbles indeed

Start climbing
Going to climb to the mountain top
Going to climb, no, won’t ever stop
I’m climbing
Going to climb to the highest height
Going to climb till I see the light
I’m looking
Every direction 360 degrees
Extrospection behumbles indeed

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
When a push comes to shove
As it usually does
Things get 1) nasty 2) ugly
Hold my beer
Give a nudge
And, I won’t hold a grudge
Let’s get friendly
Please don’t hesitate
Oh no don’t ever wait
Call any time of day
… I’m on my way!
The word, just say

The word I think of
Undoubtedly love
Rings yours truly
With cheer
Give it all
Clear the castle wall
Hearts sing freely
Please don’t hesitate
Oh no don’t ever wait
Call any time of day
… I’m on my way!
The word, just say

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Do you wish that you were in Hollywood
’cause you’re feeling things haven’t gone the way they should
No sense
Feeling sorry
Feeling sorry for me
’cause I am
So happy
As happy
As can be

Do you crave to be living on Wall Street
So you behave in ways to bring the world to your feet
No sense
Feeling sorry
Feeling sorry for me
’cause I am
So happy
As happy
As can be

Is all you ant to be is somewhere else
Fail to
Realize
The world is our home
No sense
Feeling sorry
Feeling sorry for me
’cause I am
So happy
As happy
As can be

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Is it a stretch
That we will fetch
Adaptation
Did you hear the starting gun sound
Why are we sticking around
The race is on
We don’t have long
For our way to be found
Been forty days and forty nights
We still don’t see the light
It’s been four score
And maybe more
Yet, humans delight in fight

What was unfair
Time that we square
Angulation
Did you hear the starting gun sound
Why are we sticking around
The race is on
We don’t have long
For our way to be found
Been forty days and forty nights
We still don’t see the light
It’s been four score
And maybe more
Yet, humans delight in fight

Let’s stop the bleed
We will succeed
Aspiration
Adaptation
Acclamation
Acclimation
Did you hear the starting gun sound
Why are we sticking around
The race is on
We don’t have long
For our way to be found
Been forty days and forty nights
We still don’t see the light
It’s been four score
And maybe more
Yet, humans delight in fight

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Now that the low hanging fruit is gone
What did you say is number two?
How long to keep hanging on
In the faith
Of what you do
Tell me true
On the other side
Of the wishing well
Past due
Gone worldwide
Our time did tell
Passed do

Now that your slumber is over
Is it time to discover
How much time will it take to wake
To come to?
Tell me true
On the other side
Of the wishing well
Past due
Gone worldwide
Our time did tell
Passed do

bookmark_borderWhole in the End

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
With no hole in the end
It’s hard to pretend
There’s light in this tunnel
With no whole in The End
It’s hard to pretend
All’s right at our funeral
The further we all dig in deep
The farther our worst fears creep
The higher that we climb above
As dire’s calling for our love
Riding the wave of save

In a dimension of two
It’s hard to get through
To the bright side
In a dimension with you
Our shared point-of-view
Nowhere to hide
The further we all dig in deep
The farther our worst fears creep
The higher that we climb above
As dire’s calling for our love
Riding the wave of save

Moving outside the box
Changing all of the locks
Finding freedom
Freeing from the flocks
Changing all the clocks
Far less kingdom
The further we all dig in deep
The farther our worst fears creep
The higher that we climb above
As dire’s calling for our love
Riding the wave of save

Down here on the surface
Accompanied by your smiling face
Come hear of our service

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
I’m a human
Yes, I am
Sometimes it might be hard to tell
Perhaps it’s just as well
Human
Best I can
Being human
The best I can
Put on my pants one leg at a time
Don’t wanna believe I’m past my prime
Human, yes, I am

I’m a human
Yes, I am
Sometimes it might be hard to tell
Perhaps it’s just as well
Human
Best I can
Being human
The best I can
Stand on two feet with an upright spine
Don’t wanna believe I’m past my prime
Human, yes, I am

I’m a human
Yes, I am
Sometimes it might be hard to tell
Perhaps it’s just as well
Human
Best I can
Being human
The best I can
Hoping to make it turn out fine
Don’t wanna believe I’m past my prime
Human, yes, I am

I’m a human
Yes, I am
Sometimes it might be hard to tell
Perhaps it’s just as well
Human
Best I can
Being human
The best I can
While I can let the love-light shine
Hoping we’ll make it all be fine
Human, yes, we are
Same planet… same star

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Please don’t think it’s a bore
But, I can’t sit here
No more
We’ve been here before
We can’t take any more
What’s ahead is crystal clear
No “more”
Did you hear? Crystal clear
What’s in store? No more more

Please don’t think I know the cure
But, to stop… why not?
Or be forgot
No more
We’ve been here before
We can’t take any more
What’s ahead is crystal clear
No “more”
Did you hear? Crystal clear
What’s in store? No more more
Or no more more

Please rethink your curvature
How much longer we’ll endure
No more
We’ve been here before
We can’t take any more
What’s ahead is crystal clear
No “more”
Did you hear? Crystal clear
What’s in store? No more more

The arc of the dive
To stay alive
