LYRICS
How can someone just turn and walk away?
It’s become the way of our day
Haven’t you anything more to say?
How can anyone just turn and walk away?

Chorus
May the peace roll down every mountain
Through the valley
To the sea
May the peace spout out like a fountain
Raining down on you and me
Reigning down on you and me

How can someone not even care?
They don’t have a dime or the time to spare
Making a statement about how life’s not fair
How can anyone claim they’re unaware?

At the Strike of Lightning

Posted on June 18, 2013 by admin

Songwriting in Everhart Park, West Chester, PA

LYRICS
Thunder and lightning
The way you strike me is heightening
Thunder and lightning
The most spectacular lighting

The storm clouds are rolling in
Watch the sky darken
Through the darkness the brightest light
Watch the lightning strike strike

Then, as quick as that
The skies clear
You wonder what
Happened here

At the trike of midnight
Or the strike of lightning
Quirst whichever comes first

The High Road Part II

Posted on June 17, 2013June 17, 2013 by admin

LYRICS
Does it matter
Does it matter not?
It ain’t gonna matter
If you choose knot

Tied up in yourself
Is no way to eternal health
Tied up in “me, my, mine”
Is no way to spend your time

Don’t take the low road
Please take the high
If you try, there’s a chance we’ll all get by

No one wants…
No one wants…

You think the hangman’s comin’
Try bringing me back dead or alive
You thing the guillotine’s fallin’
Try bringing me back dead or alive

The High Road Part I

Posted on June 17, 2013June 17, 2013 by admin

LYRICS
Walking up hill… against the wind
It’s hard to explain where to begin
Heaven or hell… Lord knows I’ve sinned
Just glad I remain whole within

If you wanna get to society hill
And, you’re prepared to kill
You’d be better off by far
By choosing not to mar

Walking’s a skill… all humans find
Your first real pain since you began
It’s hard to tell less you’ve been in that bind
Watcha can’t or watcha can

LYRICS
In a binary world
You’re made up of ones and zeros
You’re either with villains
Or, heroes

A black and white world
Of laughter and of tears
You’ll either be chillin’
Or, full of your fears

Might as well live in a fanciful fantasy
I’m livin’ my life
For todays and tomorrows
No sense livin’ in a redundant factory
I’m lovin’ my life
Of todays and tomorrows

What Is Your Name?

LYRICS
I know that we’re neighbors
I know that we’re friends
I know where you are
I know where you’ve been
I know your means
And, I know your ends
I know your whores
And, I know your kin

I know things about you
That I really can’t explain
But, for the life of me
I can’t remember your name

LYRICS
Just wait ’till after dark
Catch sight of the spark
The flight of the lark
Stop! Look! Hark!

As dusk turns to dark you can make your mark
You’ll see after dark
The glow of an eye bright in the night. (Sight!)
You’ll see after dark

Chorus

As lust turns to love you get to embark
You’ll see after dark
There is you and I… going on our insight
You’ll see after dark

LYRICS
Just hit the panic button
That’s all you need do
Just hit the panic button
For an aid parade to you

You tune into the news
Things you’re seeing
Giving you the blues
Lightning! Fire!
Armageddon desire?
You tune into the news
The things that’re being
Making us lose
Frightening! Liar!
The Evil Empire

All the lies that you say

LYRICS
Sooner or later
Ya know the water
Will wash it all away
Maybe tomorrow
Maybe today

Can you command land
Or oversee the sea?

Can you comprehend how the ark got afloat
Can your boat cross the mote
Ya know… across Styx to the rainbow?
