Writing the Song The American Spirit

LYRICS
If nothing really matters
Why even bother?
But, matter, it does
Better do your matter
Before you’re latter

No, no, no, don’t ever give up
Yeah, yeah, yeah, have faith in hope
La, la, la we can change the slope

We can glide
We can slide
We can glide
It’s all downhill
we can ride
The rising tide
We can slide
’till our asses spark
What a thrill

Around….
Sound.

Not that many,
Places in space,
Can it be found.

Shush, hush….
Listen,
No! Know,
How to make,
Sound,
Vibrate,
Quake,
Gyrate,
Make,
Sound

There are plenty,
Of good reasons,
To create a way,
For the herd,
To have heard.

Shush, hush….
Listen,
No! Know,
How to make,

Vibrate,
Quake,
Gyrate,
Make,
Create,
Relate,
With new found sound.
(ending on part 3)
Bask in the new found sound.
Take it, take it in,
The new found sound,
Take it, take it in,
Sound all around.

(intro on part 2)
Sound check it out,
Sound check,
Check it out,
Sound,
Check it out.

bookmark_borderThank Goodness

I feel the days growing shorter
As the nights grow colder and evermore slower
Right when the food is scarcer
Out of nowhere comes a feast fit for the King of Kings

Funny what religion brings
When the discipline of all things
Occurs as humanity sings

Sings from the heart
Of the Good News, music, literature and art
The beauty of the fine arts
As they do their part
Spreading the Word, the joy, the happiness

She whispers in my ear,
“Thank goodness.”

I would like to take this opportunity
To thank God for God

Thanking you gave

Thanking God for good
Thanking you gave

The Smörgåsbord of intellect
Cornucopia of utopia
For all the time we collect
Thanking you gave

I hope to spend all eternity
Thanking God for God
’cause it would be mighty hard
To find a way to pray
Without you

Whatever I can do
To help pay your due
I would love to….

In the mean time, I’m…
Thanking you gave

The Song *With Love And Rage*

We’ve entered an age
In need of our sage
From the year nothing
Spring…
To be our savior
Bringing blankets to the shivering
Bringing food to those hungering
Medical attention to any needing aiding

We pray
Please don’t take that away
With love and rage
Occupy the savage age
X’s and O’s
The hero from year zero

Have we fed the end
Are you fed-up with the end
Ready for the love you send
To bring the thing for which we sing
To the hears of every human

Are you fed-up with this human zoo
Are you? Are you ready…
Ready to begin anew

Look at the view
Through
The eyes of the child
Babe
Swaddling
May the joy be piled

Sigh
Bring that thing for which we sing

Do you wish you were the Grateful Dead
Some sort-of martyr
Or, still alive… going Further?

Do you wish to be grateful, dead?
Born to wear a crown of thorn
Or, still alive… with the gift of life

Cherish the gift
Until your lift

There’s only one place I know
Where the land is green
And, the sky is blue

There’s only one place I know
With a menagerie scene
And, love for you

Pour the Milky Way
It’s not that far…
Third house from our star

We call Her
Home Sweet Home
Menagerie
Where people roam
Home Sweet Home

Humbleness
Modestly, I gotta say
Er, a…
A beautiful place
To breed our race

Her Graciousness

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

E major
She walked down the steps
Then, stood next to me
A beautiful sight
She was simply lovely

A major
When she snuggled in close
It was beyond fantasy

G major
The Scent of he hair

The gape of her neck

I’m aware
(I’m aware, I’m aware, I’m very aware.)

G
The sweetest of lips

Her figure. Her hips.

All right there
Alright there
On a tear

She sat on a a stool
Pulled in tighter to me
It was obvious
Obvious to see
It was meant…
It was meant to be
And, the stares
The stares at her
But,

Sat upon my lap
On the back of a pick up truck
What the…
And, she could jam
Man could she jam

A song about my broken leg and the girl I met the night before… learning to walk again after a broken leg… learning to love again after a broken heart… kind or the same thing? Bringing on the joy, the pain fades away… I’m learning to walk again.

Sweet Dreams, Honey.

“You too,
may angels abound,
and be your personal surround sound,
while you dream on their chorus of feathered down souls…
Then rise and reclaim your life as the sun shines,
let the shadows be lifted,
and be blessed ever gifted,
it is always the first day,
of the rest of your life
🙂 nite x”

A good night kiss,
Coming true,
Of a wish,
Peeking through,
The veil,
Unsowing seems.

Sweet dreams,
Come alive,
Relieving strife,
Revealing… what is real.
The first day, we pray,
Of the rest of life,
Setting sail,
For New Edan,
We arrive,
To begin.
— The End
