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!

LYRICS
You can part
You can part
When you’re glowing in the heart

You can part any sea
Turn water to wine
Create a feast for the hungry to dine
(Loaves and fish dish)

The miracles you’ll spark
When you’re glowing in the heart
The hearts you’ll start
When you’re glowing in the dark

Emotional smarts
Spiritual larks
Take flight
Light the night

LYRICS
I was…
Naked. Tied-up.
Bound and gagged
In the back of your mother’s station wagon
Hang-on
Lights are flashing
The spot light is on
Officer says, “What’s going on?”

Now, you’ve changed
How you’ve changed
Your mind rearranged
(You’re) estranged

Oh, no
She went psycho
Joined the Puritan Police
Now, I need a release

Oh, let my daughter go
’cause you know
You went psycho

You use to be some fun
But, now
People run!

You ain’t no superhero
With that super, super ego
No. No. No.

Janet, try your switch
’cause less is on

LYRICS
When needed
The Good come together
Combined
Faith in humanity

Then, greeted
By God. All together. Aligned.
Clarity transparency

Spirits drifting together
Arise the tide
Faith from the inside
Washing cruelty out
The angels shout
The stars shine brighter
Then ever before
A the love comes together
Forever more

Making love to love to love to love to love….

ABOUT THIS SONG
Capo 5
Am less C / Dm
Am less C add G

Written and recorded August 22, 2012 in West Chester, Pennsylvania. It is based on a quote from the Book Of Daniel:

Daniel 12

New International Version (NIV)
The End Times

12 “At that time Michael, the great prince who protects your people, will arise. There will be a time of distress such as has not happened from the beginning of nations until then. But at that time your people—everyone whose name is found written in the book —will be delivered. 2 Multitudes who sleep in the dust of the earth will awake: some to everlasting life, others to shame and everlasting contempt. 3 Those who are wise will shine like the brightness of the heavens, and those who lead many to righteousness, like the stars for ever and ever. 4 But you, Daniel, roll up and seal the words of the scroll until the time of the end. Many will go here and there to increase knowledge.”

LYRICS
Though optimum would be ideal
That “I am” has enough appeal
Since for the wicked there is no rest
Pray, say and sway toward the best

Optimism — me
You
Look through the clouds
And, the sky is blue

And, the sky above is blue
Let the light shine through
Past the silver lining
It’s all in the timing

Optimismme
See the light shine though
Beautiful view

A Tree Suffering From Ozone Poisoning
A Tree Suffering From Ozone Poisoning

LYRICS
If you can see the sky
Ask: why?

Turn from green to brown
Fall down
Like a cannonball sailed through
Deny it… will you?

Simple reasoning
Points to ozone poisoning

When the conditions are right with sunlight
Volatile ozone ignites
Blasting right through a tree
Blasting right through you and me

Now it’s been sung
Imagine your lung
Without a tree
Where will our oxygen be?

LYRICS
On Tuesday evenings — a get together
Where I play in a rock-and-roll band
It’s inevitable one way or another
Gonna be a party of the grand stand

Meet up at the local pub
Make the girls shake their hips
After the show, embrace lips in lips
Been hit — the music club

God! I think I’m seeing stars
God! I think I’m hearing stars
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)

LYRICS
If I get to the point
Where I’m no use to society
Please take pity
Release Mother of my burden

Life’s worth living
As long as I’m giving
Living in a luxury sweet

When I get to heaven
There’ll be plenty of work worth doing
So as long as my love is flowing
I want to keep on going

[grunt]
Don’t think forever a working grunt
’cause you’re working your way right to the front
If you think there’s enough room in heaven for everyone
Think again
But, with your heart and passion
You’ll be all the fashion walkin’ in

LYRICS
When at last you are comfortable
Than, at last, you’re at home
When at last you are salvageable
Then, at last, you are not alone

When at last you’re forgiven
By yourself, set free for livin’
Then, at last, you’ve awaken
In your true home

With a twist of love
Sprinkled down from above
Feeling free to let yourself go
Flying high to the place of know

Have some… please have some home

With a twist of love
Shaken not broken

LYRICS
’cause there’s been more than one path beaten to heaven
Of your life is your lesson
There’s been more than one song sung
Consider your life just beginnin’

Foreboding sky approached
Clouds burst open like a water balloon
Soon the river rises
A baptism cleansing you

Don’t want to sell it
Don’t want to take it
A baptism will break ya
Of that habit

Bringing on the casting out of your demon

Cloud burst quench your thirst for salvation
Revitalization of imagination
Realization: your civilization

Livin’ with material junk

Let your spirit explode

’cause there is something about you
that makes me want to sing
’cause there is something about you
that makes me want to dance

The sparkle. The Twinkle. The glimmer in your eye
The uplift of your riff. The glimmer of your I.

’cause there is something about you
that makes me everything
’cause there is something about you
that makes me risk a chance

The sparkle. The Twinkle. The glimmer in your eye
The gift of your lift. The answer to my why.
