LYRICS
I was just sitting on the corner
Causing no body no harm
Playing a lil’ guitar
When this bee came up to me
And just wouldn’t net me be —
A bother bee
Then a strange breeze started blowin’
In the wind, a peculiar notion
I was just sitting on the corner
Causing no body no harm
Playing a lil’ guitar
When this me wanted to see
Why bother to be?
Bother / Be
’cause as far as I can tell
I’ve only got this chance
So, as long as I’m living I think it’s just as well
That at every opportunity
Partake in the dance
… whenever possible partake in the dance

LYRICS
Please don’t spoon feed me
I beg
I cry on my knees
I’m down on my knees
Please don’t spoon feed me
I don’t want to bite…
I don’t want to cut off the nose
I don’t want to bite the hand that feeds
I don’t want to cut off the nose to spite….
Please don’t spoon feed me
I gotta fight the urge to bite
The hand that feeds me
Please don’t spoon feed me
’cause you see
Inevitably there will be a jerk of the knee
LYRICS
We’ve a common thread
And it comes from where we’re bred
Take a look and see
It’s right there in our ancestry
Somerled King Of The Isles
In years travel back in miles
To Charlemagne King Of The Franks
Thanks!
You can see it in our smiles
Arthur didn’t call himself king
And get this… here’s the thing
Neither did Jesus
If it weren’t for them
There wouldn’t be us
I wouldn’t be who I am
St. Columba of the Nine Hostages
Concubines, priests and princesses
Frankly Francus of the Franks
Judah, Jacob, Isacc, Abraham
All part of who I am
Thanks Noah for the rainbow
And for Adam and Lilith
Delivereth
6 Now the gates of Jericho were securely barred because of the Israelites. No one went out and no one came in.
2 Then the Lord said to Joshua, “See, I have delivered Jericho into your hands, along with its king and its fighting men. 3 March around the city once with all the armed men. Do this for six days. 4 Have seven priests carry trumpets of rams’ horns in front of the ark. On the seventh day, march around the city seven times, with the priests blowing the trumpets. 5 When you hear them sound a long blast on the trumpets, have the whole army give a loud shout; then the wall of the city will collapse and the army will go up, everyone straight in.”
6 So Joshua son of Nun called the priests and said to them, “Take up the ark of the covenant of the Lord and have seven priests carry trumpets in front of it.” 7 And he ordered the army, “Advance! March around the city, with an armed guard going ahead of the ark of the Lord.”
15 On the seventh day, they got up at daybreak and marched around the city seven times in the same manner, except that on that day they circled the city seven times. 16 The seventh time around, when the priests sounded the trumpet blast, Joshua commanded the army, “Shout!”

Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the earth; break forth into joyous song and sing praises!
Psalm 150:1-6 ESV
Praise the Lord! Praise God in his sanctuary; praise him in his mighty heavens! Praise him for his mighty deeds; praise him according to his excellent greatness! Praise him with trumpet sound; praise him with lute and harp! Praise him with tambourine and dance; praise him with strings and pipe! Praise him with sounding cymbals; praise him with loud clashing cymbals! …
1 Chronicles 15:16
David also commanded the chiefs of the Levites to appoint their brothers as the singers who should play loudly on musical instruments, on harps and lyres and cymbals, to raise sounds of joy.

And they sang a new song
Job 38:7 ESV

Then I looked, and I heard around the throne and the living creatures and the elders the voice of many angels, numbering myriads of myriads and thousands of thousands,

LYRICS
On our way to Grandmother’s house
Where Mom lived ‘fore she became a Brouse
Philadelphia’s Thanksgiving Day Parade
Then, turkey dinner all homemade
With mashed potatoes and gravy
All the condiments… so savory
A cornucopia of smells swell
To the point you can tell —
Supper’s ready!
Come and get it!
There’s plenty
To God’s credit
Once the stores are open again
Our first opportunity, we begin
Shopping for toys like we’ve never seen
Living in a Nutcracker dream scheme scene
Telescope, microscope, drums and guns
The fun let in… imagination runs
I suppose it matters in every way
The giving… the loving… on Christmas Day

LYRICS
If you’re feeling all alone at Christmas
Feelings for all the people you miss
Please remember you’re never alone
Wherever you are… you’re at home
Please remember you’re never alone
If you’re feeling blue… another year anew
Feeling life is slipping away… you’re blue
Please remember how much you’re loved
Embrace now so there’s no regret of “could’ve”
Breath in deep the Christmas spirit
Not just today but all year… keep near it
Please remember wherever you roam
Where ever… you’re never alone
