LYRICS
You know that I’m… gonna cross the chasm great and wide
You know the time… ford the ocean at low tide

Gotta climb that mountain to get to the other side
Oh, Mama… I’m crossing… I ride

You know that I’m… gonna cross this town in stride
You know the time… is well before you’ve died
Gotta bridge that gap. Certain. Won’t be denied.
Oh, Mama… I’m crossing… I ride

Forever prone to be at home

To Get to the Other Side
To Get to the Other Side

LYRICS
Chase your dreams
They will come
So it seems
And then some

There is a spider lady
That weaves her web
Catches dreams that are shady
Waiting for the dark to ebb

“Once the sun rises
All bad dreams just disappear”
Good thoughts all shapes and sizes
Will become ever clearer

(whispered “She’s Asibikaashi”

ABOUT THE SONG

Dreamcatchers originated with the Ojibwe people. The Ojibwe people have an ancient legend about the origin of the dreamcatcher. Storytellers speak of the Spider Woman, known as Asibikaashi; she took care of the children and the people on the land. Eventually, the Ojibwe Nation spread to the corners of North America and it became difficult for Asibikaashi to reach all the children. So the mothers and grandmothers would weave magical webs for the children, using willow hoops and sinew, or cordage made from plants. The dreamcatchers would filter out all bad dreams and only allow good thoughts to enter our mind. Once the sun rises, all bad dreams just disappear.

Yes you! In the end, the love you give… and then some/sum, too

Go your way
Hey, hey, hey
You can go our own way
The prophets say, “Go your way!”

In hindsight, there was a tid-bit of Fleetwood Mac and Yes influence… but for the most part this is an impromptu spiritual.

LYRICS
Lookin’ for something to get me through
Wonderin’ if something’s gonna be you
Can’t you see
You move me

Lookin’ for something to get me through
Wonderin’ if something’s gonna be you
I’ve a hunch
You’re an in the clutch crutch

Lookin’ for something to get me through
Wonderin’ if something’s gonna be you
Never lonely
So long as I can be

LYRICS
Gonna meet ’em at the crossroads
Shadow forebodes
Takin’ the guitar
Crusade bizarre
Gonna see ’em… not gonna sell ’em
What will be the toll to keep my soul?

No matter our burden
No matter our loads
Soul’s not for sale
Nooooo, can not sell
Even if we ain’t Eden’s
… it surely beats hell

Gonna meet ’em at the crossroads
Not gonna give in
#uck Satan’s sin
There ain’t (no) concedin’
Plain enough… easy to tell
Even if we ain’t Eden’s
… it surely beats hell

If ya gotta wrestle the devil
Better wear a righteous cape
’cause when you’re messin’ with evil
Your soul might not escape
Still…
If we ain’t Eden’s,
… surely beats hell’s

Ascend from the Prince of Darkness
Confess hell is a mess
Rise up from the weasel conclave
No longer Beelzebub’s slave

What kind of fool
Wants to rule the gene pool
King of the world

Whorled unfurled hurled
Into reality
Whorled unfurled hurled
Totality. King of the world
Brutality. King of the world

Man against man
I don’t understand
Inhumane human
Grand stand on the grandstand

Battle to the bottom
Go get ’em got ’em
People dying to get into heaven

LYRICS
I’m wondering if love comes in degrees
“Love you more… that’s for sure!”
Come a little closer. Give me a squeeze
“Love you more… that’s for sure!”

Where does it start? Where does it end?
The difference between lover and friend
Do the degrees just tend to blend
Can it bend to offend… unfriend?

I’ll give you warmth so you don’t freeze
“Love you more… that’s for sure!”
Lift you up like a warm summer breeze
“Love you more… that’s for sure!”

When your end begins to bleed back
Get to praise the raise…
…ing of the dead
To a new wife wed
From the womb
When the end begins to bleedback again

To a new life led
When the end begins to bleedback again

When the end begins to bleedback again
To be born
From the tomb
When the end begins to bleedback again

LYRICS
Put pick to string
And pluck that thing
(Pluck it! Go ahead and pluck it!)

Pluck it like there’s no tomorrow
(Pluck it! Go ahead and pluck it!)
Pluck the blues when in sorrow
(Pluck it! Go ahead and pluck it!)

Pluck it hard
Pluck it slow
Pluck it every way you know

If you’ve had a hard day trying to bring home pay
Pluck it! It feels good
If you’re not sure how long you’ll endure
Pluck it! You know you should
If you’ve no confidence in your essence
Pluck it! You know you could
