LYRICS
A most amazing thing
When I started to sing
The animals threw a ball
A bird call went out to all
Butterflies fluttering
Flirting with the wind
Man’s troubles abandoned

In the most amazing way
When I started to play
Critters began to party
Their animal spirits set free
The bird call went out to all
The forest and field yield
As the seventh seal is revealed

Before flora and fauna are forgot
Why not strike while the iron is hot
Start to stop to smell the roses
Watch the wildlife striking poses

LYRICS
If you’re feelin’ a ‘lil blue
I’ve the remedy just for you
The blues will take your blues away
Bluebird singin’ about a sunny day
Sunny days are on your way

If a black cloud follows you around
Don’t let it ever let it get you down
Ear to the earth and feel the sound
Soon enough your song will be found

If a shadow follows you
Something you can do
To your heart be true
Shine the point-of-view

bookmark_borderA Fancy To Nancy

LYRICS
I took a fancy to Nancy
Wrapped in a Dan-ce of romance
Ten years of famine
Turn into feast
Into the most from the least
All my life where’ve ya been
More than coincidence
More than chance
Here comes that loving feeling, again

Become aware when love is in the air
Once I begin to take it in
Sorry if I stare whenever you are there
It’s just now in miracles I’m believin’

I took a fancy to Nancy
Wrapped in a Dan-ce of romance
Footloose and fancy free
Is she really dancing with me
Coming back from out of the black
Into the blue with you
Through the last chapter… happily, ever after

LYRICS
Take a look at the book
Could be the saint… could be the crook
I learned my lesson well
By the cover I can’t tell

Have you heard the word
Rational or completely absurd?
I learned my lesson well
By the cover I can’t tell

Have you read a page
Golden or in the Dark Age
I learned my lesson well
By the cover I can’t tell

What kind of read do you concede
Does it drain you soul or your head feed
… once read feed your head?
I learned my lesson well
By the cover I can’t tell

LYRICS
The smile on your face
The loving embrace
It’s heart warming
Enduring

When I began to figure it out
I was just a little sprout
Couldn’t help but to laugh and grin
If I could, I’d do it over again

Then as I started to grow
Wasn’t hard for me to get to know
Taking time to smile with you
Adversity we’d get through

Time goes by and I grow old
Hopefully when my story is told
It’ll bring a smile to your face
Remembering the time we enjoyed in this place

Have you ventured too far
“Who do you think you are?”

Lady? Bug! Lady? Bug!
Fly away home

Leave them alone

Will you push them too far
Forcing them to fly
Will you push them too far
’till they say bye-bye

Now you’ll take your own test
In your empty-nest-ness
Baby’s grown and flown
Now you’re on your own

Animosity to curiosity?

Letting your conscious grow — a spiritual flow

Swinging beneath the trees
Hoping a summer breeze

Scheming up how to applaud
Debunking of all the fraud
Justice from narrow to broad
Gets God’s nod

Go on honk your horn if you support the war machine

Come on honk your horn… tax the rich to feed the lean

Come on honk your horn in support! God save the Queen!
Come on honk your horn… from fresh air we must wean

Wanna hear something even more obscene?

Sorry if I look a mess
It’s time to put on your pretty dress
Hope no need to confess

You’ll be feeling blue

Sorry if I look hard pressed
It’s time to put on your pretty dress
Guess you will take the test
’till your untimely rest

By the seven year itch
She’ll turn into a bitch
Once she’s turned to bitched
You’ll grasp “getting hitched”

LYRICS
Fluttering pink and white petals
Creates a blanket as it settles
Will the mountains and canyons shake
Will children of the sun awake?

Children of the sun
Blossoms in the wind
When the day is done
Where have you been

Now that you’re living in castles
You can’t cope with any hassles
The love child’s gone wild?
Turned to milk-toast… lame and mild

Children of the sun
Blossoms in the wind
When the day is done
Where have you been

ABOUT THE SONG
C Am D G
C Am
C G

This is a song about bands from the 60’s that sang about love and flower children. Then, they got older and richer. They turned into hypocrites living in castles. In the Led Zeppelin song “Going To California”, they sing “The mountains and the canyons started to tremble and shake… as the children of the sun began to awake.”
