LYRICS
If you start to doubt
Know that help is on its way
If you feel left out
Know you’ll see a better day

Chorus
We all break-out in the dance of life
Play guitar, fiddle or fife
We all break out in the dance of life
Love passes… like butter and a hot knife

Don’t part with devout
It really helps if you pray
Don’t feel you’re shut-out
Love will find you… there’s a way

LYRICS
Do you think we’re living…
Living like we’re living on a Carnival cruise?
Situation
Lose – Lose – Lose

Feces falling floor to floor
Garbage piling toward the sky
Can’t stand living with ourselves. No more!
My, oh, my

Putrid smell you do abhor
Brings a tear makes you cry
Can’t stand living with ourselves any more
Living like a monkey

Did we embark on Noah’s Ark…
Or, did we ride to the darkside…
On a Carnival cruise

ABOUT THE SONG

Daniel — Vocals, Guitar, Keyboards

A 6-track stereo extemporaneous recording made in Chester County, Pennsylvania, United States of America. This song was inspired by the Carnival Cruise ship “Triumph”. The ship became stranded at sea for five days. The passengers complained about the poop running down the walls and living with the smell of their own garbage. It made me think about how the planet is like a giant cruise ship. Can we live with ourselves? Take the sustainability challenge.

LYRICS
While attached to your baggage
Might as well find a home
While attached to your baggage
Looking for happiness… you’ll roam
’till the baggage fades away
There won’t be an easy way

As long as you carry the baggage
It won’t leave you alone
As long as you carry the baggage
You’ll never be at home

As the baggage fades away
You’ll find a new day
You’ll find the new day

LYRICS
What will be your mark
What will be your relevance
Bringing people from the dark
While you have a presence

Wearing a white hat
Into mortal combat
None of us are getting out alive

What will be your mark
What will be your relevance
Bringing people from the dark
While you have a presence

Baring the attack
There’s no need to fight back
Mirrors of God survive
Mirrors of God alive

LYRICS
What’s your take on the take?
What do you make
Of your perspective?

Going reflective….

What’s your attitude on attitude
When it comes to people who are rude
Well, don’t get stuck in that rut
Come on! Give it from the gut

Hey! Hey! Hey!
We’re over half-way
Hey! Hey! Hey!
More than half of the way

’till our cup runneth over
’till our glass is full
’till there is no null… no, no null at all

Hey! Hey! Hey!
We’re over half-way
Hey! Hey! Hey!
More than half of the way

Do you have longitude
Do you have latitude
Well, don’t get stuck in that rut
(Adjusted attitude)
Come on! Give it from the gut

Hey! Hey! Hey!
We’re over half-way
Hey! Hey! Hey!
More than half of the way

LYRICS
Is the wind wailing on me at the speed of light?
Or, is it me traveling at that rate of speed?
If it’s me,
At what speed
Are the headlights traveling
In front of me?

Is the light twice as bright?
Will relativity be forced to concede?
Lord, that amount of light will have to help us see
Hear the blind humanity’s plea!

Hear the blind humanity’s plea, please?

LYRICS
I worked so hard for my money
Since stolen by the anti-honey
I watched Mama stealing candy
From my baby
Is there an excuse? No way!
Not maybe

What kind of person would do that
Unkind of person just like that
What kind of mother would do that
Unkind sort just like that

Unfit? More than just a bit.
Crazy. Lazy.
Forever to remain insane
Criminally insane refrain

LYRICS
Living each day
In the fullest way
Trying to make reason
As I rhyme

After pain and suffering
Comes the joy of relief
There’ a new season
A new time

The insane rebuffing
Proves my belief
There’ a new season
A new time

Friends may come
And, friends may go
But there’s one thing that I know
You’ll be there ’till the end
Then, backstage after the show

Friends may come
And, friends may go
But there’s one thing that I know
Love is the message that we send
Be ye friend or be ye foe?

It’s been real
But, I’ll see you later (later)
Time to feel
Best is better (better)

’cause I booked a trip
And, I’m flying on Astral Airlines
A pleasant jaunt
With no penalties or fines
If you want to… bring your baggage
You’ll welcome to bring it along
But, it will be less savage
If you just pack your heart with a song

LYRICS
I’m looking into you
Want to find out your point-of-view
I want to know everything you do

You seem to be the police of the world
You seem to be the boss of told
You seem to be an illustrator of disaster

Who do you think you are
You went to far

You are an impersonator
Who do you think you are…
God?
Or an impersonator
Wearing funny clothes
Some sort-of uniform
Cause you want to swarm
With your hate and evilness
You’re not at home with peace
Not in the least

I’m looking into you

Getting together spirits groove
Going to make ’em move
