bookmark_borderBefore You Squash That Bug

LYRICS
What if you’re just a bug
Wait for some giant’s shrug
As your soul meets sole

Are you just as happy
As you can be
Or, are you livin’ a life of misery
Come on now… set yourself free
Start living life merrily

Are you as carefree
As you should be
Or, so you dwell in your own hell
Come on now… let yourself free
Start living more happily

The sun is shining in….

The sun is shining in
On the inside
The smile is twice as wide
On the inside

The sun is shining in….

Now, a new life can begin
The sun is shining in
The smile is twice as wide
On the inside

As the sun sets on society
We question
“Hey, didn’t we have plenty?”
Why the suffering
On the outside
There’s no place to run
There’s no placed to hide
On the outside

The sun is shining in
The smile is twice as wide
On the inside

Come on join in
Come on join in
On the inside
The smile is twice as wide

The sun is shining in

Let the sun shine in
On the inside
As the sun is setting on the outside

LYRICS
If you’re feeling blue
There’s something you can do
Just turn the corner
(remember turn the corner)
Up, up, up, up, up
And, smile a while

Splash on some happiness
Let it wash over you
Overcome. Be overlord
Of the darkness

Awash in the happiness
Part of the song and dance crew
Overcome. Never board.
Smack on the lips with a happiness kiss

At the end of your lips
The corner of your lips
Do away with the dips
Turn it up a bit

The comfort of warmth
Without the constraints of….

If you can’t see the desert

The quicksand of justice

bookmark_borderBorn With It

Intro:
She asked, “How did you learn to shift energy? Did you read up on it?”

Music
It’s kind-of a rhythm mix between Venus and Won’t Get Fooled Again.

Born With It

Em . . . . . . Am
That’s how it is
Em . . . . . . Am
When you’re born with it
That’s how it is
When you’re born with it

C . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Em
I fall to me knees and pray
C . . . . . . . . . . . Em
Thankful for every day
A hall to the free. Not prey
Thankful for everyday

Not sure that shift
Is the right word
More like the sun
Than the moon

I guess we’ll find out
And, way too soon….
And, way to soon….

More like the sun
Then the moon
A fusion
Not illusion
A space time
Rhyme

A fusion
Not illusion
No shadow
Will follow

One day
A crook
Mistook
Mine for his own
Opportunities
Blown

Chorus:
Why would ya wanna steal from a guy like me?
Can’t you see… do you think I’m blind?
Look what ya took
A gifted tool
To distribute bliss
Now, amiss
Sold down ‘river
Unable to deliver

1.
Once had a tambourine
I could make sing
I could make ring
Feet racing for dancing
The joy it’d bring
Now, something… happened
It’s gone… know what I mean?

Chorus

2.
Once had a guitar
A special 6-string
I could make sing
Hands and feet thumping
The joy it’d bring
Now, something… happened
It’s gone… too far.

Chorus

What justification
For eradication
Of chaos theory
Illumination
When you destroy
Such a toy?
… the smile of a little boy
… homeless, helpless
… to have brightened their day
In some way
Astray
A curse… you placed to follow you
Until leading true

bookmark_borderMiss Bliss

A song inspired by this conversation….

Daniel Brouse asked Edie Weinstein:
What do you think?

Edie Weinstein replied:
About what?

Daniel Brouse responded:
Ha! The world?

Edie Weinstein shines the light:
I think it is a place of divine delight in which we get to create our own vision and live it out. I think we are each responsible for healing it and illuminating the dark places. I love being here. OR were you looking for an answer a bit more mundane? ?

Daniel Brouse:
Perfect! Too bad more people don’t know… heaven is here.

LYRICS
Imagine this…
While having conversation
With Miss Bliss
Somehow we
Miss the bliss
… miss the realization
We’re soakin’ in
Happiness

Heaven on Earth
From our most
Recent birth
No lyin’
We’ve reached Zion
The Promised Land
In our hand
If we could…
But only
Understand

bookmark_borderBring Out The Fun

lyrics
Are we getting the fun out, yet?
We don’t want it to be our dying regret
It’s something we forget
Are we getting the fun out, yet?

Look what you chose
What will you choose
Wanna win or wanna loose?

Are we getting the fun out, yet?
God knows
Misery blows
’cause God knows
Misery blows

About The Song
The song was recorded extemporaneously using a Casio workstation, a mix board, microphone and M-Audio digital recorder. It is about the choice of happiness. Why not give fun like a gift?

Big Friggin’ Deal
I mean…
What’s the big deal?

For real?

Please spiel,
How you feel.

Need I beg and kneel?
Borrow or steal?

Tomorrow we’ll all heal?
Feast on thanksgiving meal?

Till then… guess it’s a friggin’ big deal.

Let’s wheel and deal.
Has mass appeal!
That’s a big friggin’ deal.

bookmark_borderMeasure Up

I’ll try to do the best I can,
With what I’ve been given,
I’ll try again and again,
If it’ll please heaven.

chorus:
I hope I measure up,
Should I fall off my horse,
Right myself… foot back in stirrup,
And, pray I can get back on course.

Noooo… can’t constrain,
For Her I’m driven,
I wanna be Her man,
Brawn and brain.

Kiss me,
So, that I will know,
Hug me,
So, my love will show.
(Into the future we shall go,
To the sound of children’s laughter…
Living happily everafter.)

bookmark_borderWe’re Movin’

We’ll kick it into,
Interstellar overdrive,
As we get into,
Some rock n’ roll n’ space truckin’,
We’ll be movin’ in the grove n’ ecstasy,
Astral travelers charting their (very own) destiny,
Flightless birds on an airborne journey.

Space Truckers, “Start your engines!”
It’s time to look alive,
This is no fantasy,
It’s much easier to survive,
When we act like we’re livin’,
Let’s get movin’ in the grove n’ ecstasy,
Astral travelers purposely charting our destiny,
Flightless birds on an airborne journey.

I like the look of your chassis,
Will you be my spiritual vehicle?
After seeing your undercarriage,
I’d like propose marriage,
Of our psyche,
Now, hope you don’t mind,
If I turn you on,
With the twist of your key,
I hear the beginnin’s,
Of your engine,
You purr when you run,
Back in the saddle, again,
I feel the heat of your seat,
And, it’s making my heart beat.

Enough of following losers,
Trying to peddle meddle,
You make up where I did lag,
Your mine and I’m yours,
Now! Faster! Pass Her this way,
And, I think we’ll find,
The ultimate payday,
Wow! I owe it to you — the checkered flag!

Yeah, yeah, yeah,
We are movin’ in the grove n’ ecstasy,
Astral travelers arriving at our destiny,
Flightless birds on an airborne journey…
Never wantin’ to abandon the sojourn.
