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

LYRICS
When I was carefree
I was board
I asked the Lord, “What for?”

When I was carefree
It was lame
I asked the Lord, “What’s the game?”

Chorus
When I was carefree
Nothing bothering me was bothering me

When I was carefree
It was horrid
I asked God, “Spare the rod!”

When I was carefree
Life was empty
I asked God, “Please spare me!”

Chorus

When you’re carefree are you careless?
When you’re carefree do you care less?

LYRICS
We’re moving… moving into the light
It feels right
We’re moving… moving into the light
It’s alright

No sense trying to fight the fight
Why go to war against war
No sense trying to slight with might
Might just find Self dead on the floor
Might as well banish all the blight
Can’t imagine life as a bore
Making others’ days bright with insight
Taking off on a spiritual tour

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
As you are going through your day-to-day
Are you having fun along the way?

If you’re feeling miserable and mean
I’m hoping I can help you come clean
If you’re having trouble all the time
Hoping that you get to find a rhyme
That will help you on your merry way
Be on your merry way

As you’re going through your day-to-day
Are you having fun along the way
For I’m just here to help you say O.K.
Hope you can be on your merry way

As you are going through your day-to-day
Are you having fun along the way?

I’m a failure,
At being a failure,
As long as I try my best,
I find success.

Lyrics:
Inside my core,
I can always find more…
More will to find a way,
To make a better day.

I try to open the door,
To what’s in store,
Whatever She’ll suggest,
I try n’ do the rest.

If done before,
It’s easy to restore,
If it’s brand new,
I’ll do what I can do.
