LYRICS
After all
This is the Holiday Ball
Christmas Party
To see
Us into the new year
Do you hear?
Sleigh bells ringing
Children singing
Do you hear
All of us here
All of us
Partake in solstice
It’s a give-and-take
Partake
Solstice
All of us
That’s how it is
The 12 Days
Celebrated in so many ways
A Christmas Ball for all
Holiday dance
For any circumstance
Solstice justice
From the darkest day… away
Into the light
Into delight

LYRICS
Now I know
How much so
I would miss
Christmas
Relieve those
Let them believe!
Embrace the race
Amen human
[jam / blend / bridge /take-off]
Leave the mean scene
And find relief in belief
Embrace face-to-face
The Christmas kiss
A special feeling
Sends you reeling / real-ing
The worth
Of peace on Earth

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
A star that bright
Had never been seen at night
Let alone, they say
During the day
As if figurative
… or literal
Let it roll
Encompass all
Total
The brightest star
By far
The brightest star
And forever more
The brightest tail
The brightest tale
Shinning down
To the ground
Shine on
Human
Given from heaven
To the Earth
The birth
You are
The brightest star

ABOUT THE
The Star of Bethlehem, or Christmas Star, appears only in the nativity story of the Gospel of Matthew, where “wise men from the East” are inspired by the star to travel to Jerusalem. “For we have seen His star in the East [or at its rising] and have come to worship Him.”

There they meet King Herod of Judea, and tell him they are heading to Bethlehem to pay homage to the newborn king of the Jews. Herod calls his scribes and priests who confirm to him that a verse from the Book of Micah interpreted as a prophecy, states that the Jewish Messiah would be born in Bethlehem to the south of Jerusalem. Secretly intending to find and kill the Messiah in order to preserve his own kingship, Herod invites the wise men to return to him on their way home.

LYRICS
You never need to feel lonely
There’s always somebody near
You never need to feel lonely
Your presence is always here
Believing in believing
Goes a long way in relieving
Believing in believing
Goes a long way in achieving
For dreams to come true
The dreams first come from you

You never need to feel helpless
If you hope, there is more
You never need to be heartless
Where there’s heart, love’s in store
Believing in believing
Goes a long way in relieving
Believing in believing
Goes a long way in achieving
For dreams to come true
The dreams first come from you

LYRICS
Hush now baby don’t you cry
Gonna save us all before you die
Singing you a lullaby song
Under the star with a tail/tale so long
Close your eyes it’s time to sleep
Pray “Dear, Lord, my soul to keep”

Hush now baby don’t you cry
Hear the angels singing on high
Happy birthday! Today’s your day
Born to show us the way
Sleep tonight tomorrow’s light
Shine on insights in sight

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
That’s one fearsome wind
Blowin’ in
Leaving the flow
Of an icicle
You know…
Where tears of joy have been
Moving out of reach
From the Reaper’s sickle

Soon we’ll discover
The storm’s blown over
Soon the winds will calm
And the threat will move on
To once again enjoy
Our tears of joy
Moving into reach
Of the owning of each

Now we found out
What life’s all about
Feelings that giving makes
Out-weighs those from the takes
Getting what you deserve
Depends on how you serve
Knowing we won’t miss
The spirit of Christmas

LYRICS
Are you sleeping
Jack Frost’s creeping
Jack Frost’s nipping
Your nose knows
And, we don’t want Jack
To bite tonight

North wind’s blowing
Winter’s coming
Sky is clearing
Stars are shinning
And, we don’t want Jack
To bite tonight

Painting patterns in vain
On our window pane
Grace with lace… icing
As angels sing

LYRICS
No more coming back from war
With a battle scar
Battle scarred
Rattled n’ marred
No more raping and pillaging
Going back for more
Coming back from afar
Forget who you are?
Trying to find our way
To a pure and peaceful day

’tis the season
To find a reason
Find our way clear
To spread some cheer
’tis the season
To find a reason
Keep searching till
We spread goodwill

What do I feel?

Transcending within

LYRICS
Are you feeling very merry
Dear,
Please spread the cheer
At years end
People tend
To share the love above
Call it what you will
But right up until
Christmas Day
Hey!
People’s Day

Maybe snow?
I don’t know
Oh, I sure hope so
Maybe the chill
In the air will
Let your heart be still
Call it what you will
But right up until
Christmas Day
Hey!
People’s Day

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Setting sail for a distant shore
One I’ve never been to before
Don’t know if I’ll make it for sure
If you don’t hear from me by Christmas Eve
Don’t even bother to worry about me
’cause I’m going long gone

Waiting for the four winds to blow
Which direction I don’t know
All I know is I’ve got to go
If you don’t hear from me by Christmas Eve
Don’t even bother to worry about me
’cause I’m going long gone

This isn’t the same sad ‘ole song
I can’t wait to be moving along
Set my sight for right left wrong
If you don’t hear from me by Christmas Eve
Don’t even bother to worry about me
’cause I’m going long gone

If days and nights should turn to years
Please alleviate your fears
Love can be dear no matter how near
If you don’t hear from me by Christmas Eve
Don’t even bother to worry about me
’cause I’m going long gone

(Lord, relieve me!)

LYRICS
Searching to see
L. O. V. E.
Harking to hear
“Nothing to fear”
By the glow of candle light
In the know on Christmas night

People everywhere
Get together to share
Where ever they live
Willing to give

Let’s seek the meek
Help peak the weak
Shower those lower
With our hour of power

Time for bed
Lay your head
I thank you…
Yes, I do

By the glow of candle light
In the know on Christmas night
