LYRICS
You’re the cure for us all
The cure-all

Well, it rained all day
The weather it was dry
To the rhythm of the alarm
The sun shined our way
The whether we will try
Shelter us from impending harm
Shelter us from the looming storm

LYRICS
How bad do you want it?
How hard will you strive to thrive?
Are you even alive?
Is it your spirit you’re gonna deprive?

Spending every day as though it’s your last
Is the best way to pass to the past
Filling everybody with “know” and you’ll last
As long as there’s memories to grasp

An oral tradition of endless relation revelation

LYRICS
Bamboo shoots under the fingernails
Splinters between the teeth and gums
Everything else in comparison pales
When the onset of pain comes

The pain of pain will drive you insane

Salt rubbed in an open wound
Paper cut on the retina of your eye
Everything else pales when pain is found
Hard to think about others if there’s pain in I

The pain of pain will drive you insane

LYRICS
Lady Of The Wood,
Bless! May all be good

The imps, fairies and that mean ole’ troll
Are getting out-of-control

ABOUT THE SONG
Chords — Db
Db Bb Ab Gb Eb Db

There is an old myth about the Lady Of The Wood. One of the oldest religions in the United States was established by hermits in Roxborough, Philadelphia, PA. They believe God was similar to Mother Nature all called her Lady Of The Wood. When they felt it was their time to die, they would walk into the woods to be one with Her.

Much later, the concept was used as the character Galadriel in the Lord Of The Rings series.

Hue: Noun. 1) The attribute of a color by virtue of which it is discernible as red, green, etc., and which is dependent on its dominant wavelength. 2) A color or shade: “her face lost its golden hue”

Do you think we might
Make it through the night
All the way ’till broad daylight
Do you think we may

The truth opens every door
Revealing so, so much more
The truth really paves the way
TO understand the New Day

Make it through the day
All the way ’till the dark of night
Do you think we may

LYRICS
If you’re afraid to choose ’cause you might lose
Go ahead and jump in
’cause you’re certain to lose if you don’t choose
Jump in and learn how to swim

It’s not that hard to figure out
You just relax and float about
Take a deep breath. Take a dive.
Take a glide to the sub side

The water said “you can tread on me”
Go ahead and jump in
The elementary backstroke is elementary. The free is free.
Jump in and learn how to swim

This song is an analogy that uses the process of learning how to swim with your body to promote learning to swim with your soul. The video was shot through cacti as sort-of a mirror image of swimming in water.

LYRICS
I would like to take this opportunity
To thank you for stopping
When most people are given the opportunity
They just keep on walking, walking, walking

Was it naivety?
Was it curiosity?
Was it stupidity?
Was it angelity?

Agile angel
With a saving grace
Agile angel
True love embrace

I can see the angel in your face
Given the opportunity of your stopping
Now and forever you’ve left a trace
Song of opportunity of your stopping

This song was inspired by the angels I’ve been bumping into. Not only do angels flock to a grave situation, they also flock to scenes of heavenly grace. In this instance, I was blessed by a couple angels while songwriting. So, I wrote the song about them.

If you listen to the wind
You can hear the answer blowin’ within
When you hear the train a comin’
You know it’s time to pack it in

Since you sang a song
Come on and cry a tear of joy
Let’s right the wrong
Bring love on strong
A humane plan we’ll deploy

Put the hate our of a job
Invoke a choir from the mob
Until the devil we unemploy
Then, the bliss of happiness
The success of fulfillness

You know it’s time to pack it in

LYRICS
“Thank you, Sir!”
I really want to thank you, Sir

When you were sitting there sipping your coffee
I didn’t know if you were even aware of me
Then, when it was time for you to go
Wouldn’t you know…
You got up and said, “Thank you, Sir”
I really want to thank you, Sir

“Thank you, Sir”
I really want to thank you, Sir

When you were driving down the street in your Jeep
You gave a shout out that I want to keep
Thumbs up, “Keep it up!”
“Thank you, Sir”
I really want to thank you, Sir

Thank You Sir.mp3

ABOUT THE SONG
This song was inspired by a writing session in Ambler, PA. While I was playing the guitar, there was a female sitting across the street at Maida coffee. She turned into the first verse. Then as I was writing the first verse, another female came driving by… she is the second verse. Thanks girls!

LYRICS
I’m sitting on the fence
And, it’s never over you

Form this point-of-view
It’s easy to see through
Plenty of evidence
For what it is that’s true

I’m sitting on the fence
And, it’s never over you

Will our species do
What we all need to?
Plenty of reverence
Is way, way overdue

I’m sitting on the fence
Taking in every clue
I’m sitting on the fence
Turning mystery into “knew”

repeat verses

I’m sitting on the fence
And, it’s never over you
There’s no need for defense
I have faith in the who
(That is you)

ABOUT THE SONG
This song is about the sound source within everything, in this instance, a living being on Earth. Friends had been talking about a Universal Vibration / Sound (The Sound Thinking Article.)

Then, I saw a picture portraying the sound of the universe by astrological sign. Scorpio showed as E and C# minor. Since I naturally play in the happy voice of E all the time… I thought I’d try one in my other voice. After all, it was a raining day today.
