LYRICS
Nothing like a smile
Lifts ya up a mile
Put the wind in sail
Never settle to fail

No matter the tribulation
No matter the trial
We’re gaining the satisfaction
With humanitarian style

When the storm clouds come
And darken it for you
You know the light — The Light
Is gonna shine on through

ABOUT THIS SONG

This song was inspired by good cops and bad cops. After dealing with some bad police in Doylestown, PA, I had the pleasure of dealing with some good police in West Chester, PA. While writing this song two different West Chester police went out of their way to be kind. The one with the big smile and wave started the lyrics.

LYRICS
If the dog bites
You can lick ’em
When the system fights
Try n’ be a gem

No matter the outcome
We can overcome

If they try to bring you down
Turn you into their clown
Twist you smile to a frown
Time they get out of town

If the pig slights
You can cook ’em
When it comes to rights
Let there be no qualm

No matter the outcome
We can overcome

If they try to bring you down
Turn you into their clown
Twist you smile to a frown
Time they get out of town

LYRICS
Put your ear
On the rail
And, you’ll hear it coming

Oh, my, Lord
Goodness gracious
The people I’ve seen… the places
Never board
Red faces

Put your ear to the track
And, in fact
You’ll hear it coming
Clickety-clack

See it coming ’round the bend
Passing through
And headed to
The Promised Land

LYRICS
Let’s raise the spirit
Come on! Can you hear it?

In the way you express
In the way that you move
In the way you lay down a groove

Let’s raise the spirit
Come on! Can you hear it?

When more is less
Less will prove
In the way we lay down our groove

Let’s raise the spirit
Come on! Can you hear it?

LYRICS
I said what I said like I said before
No need to take it… no… no more
You don’t need to be a whore
You don’t need to be a bore
Think heavenly… as in above
Put the shine on with some love

I said what I said like I said before
No need to take it… no… no more

I said what I said like I said before
No need to take it… no… no more
There’s no need for you to abuse
Get loose before you lose
I said what I said like I said before
No need to take it… no… no more
Think heavenly… as in above
Put the shine on with some love

I said what I said like I said before
No need to take it… no… no more
Think heavenly… as in above
Put the shine on with some love
Put the shine on with some love
Put the shine on with some love
