LYRICS
Here they come
Where will they fall
Deaf or dumb
Will they hear the call?

The harder they come
The harder their fall
The bigger they come
The bigger their fall

One by one
No matter how tall
No feeling… they’re numb
Did their brains all stall?

The bigger they come
The harder they fall
The bigger they come
The harder their fall

LYRICS
I suppose if this is the calm before the storm
I should take refuge and heed the warn
If things go helter skelter
Do you want to live in a bomb shelter?

Enough picking have and have nots
Enough debating whys and why nots
Lets get getting while the going is good
Livin’ in the moment… just a bit
Never the regret of would, could, should
(no would of, could of, should of’s)

LYRICS
You got your eye on me?
Hoping you can see that we can be
And, live happily
Everafter

Have you ever seen such a crazy scene?
Have you ever heard a song so absurd?
Feel free to join in
… with a hop, skip and a grin
Once you start it’s easy to begin

LYRICS
We’re moving… moving into the light
It feels right
We’re moving… moving into the light
It’s alright

No sense trying to fight the fight
Why go to war against war
No sense trying to slight with might
Might just find Self dead on the floor
Might as well banish all the blight
Can’t imagine life as a bore
Making others’ days bright with insight
Taking off on a spiritual tour

LYRICS
I found myself smack dab in the middle of a protest
Not exactly sure what it’s about
I find we always had… everything we need…
More or less
One thing’s for sure
These people want out

Lout out there… smell freedom in the air
Feel the movement of our moment
Hear the call for all
A taste of freedom is right there

LYRICS
Do you remember
All those years ago
When you wondered
About the wonders
Of the world

Go swinging on the monkey bars
Dream up things and shoot for the stars
The days when we’d climb trees
Dream of days when we’d look back at these

Chorus

Go swimming on hot summer days
Play you guitar and try to amaze
Make paper airplanes fly with the breeze
Dream of days when we’d look back on these

ABOUT THE SONG
Written and recorded on August 29, 2012 at the corner of Church and Market Streets, West Chester, Pennsylvania.

When I started writing the song, I thought it was going to be impossible to produce an upbeat song with these chords. So, the idea for the song is the title. Where there is a will, there is a way!

Not just the jest
It’s the love that5’s best

The only way to recognize our uniform

Dear Dear,

Looks like you had a head-on collision
With Venus
A love explosion
You’re genius
Positron and electron collision
At the nucleus
Delicious

Won’t let you be thrown
Under the us
No tragedy
The irony
Of smiling all the while
A love style

Stylistic magic

Loveningly,
Fantastic
