LYRICS
Into the stars…
Mind travelers…
Are
Thinking at the speed of light
Careful, don’t want to miss that right
Right? Right!
The high road over the low
You know? You know!

Into the stars
It wasn’t that far
You’re there
Always been… just unaware
We’ve all been beings
Already there
In the stars

LYRICS
Escaping from the blackhole
Gotta get the light to be whole
[Heartbeat]
Reaching escape velocity
Freedom is at hand
Freedom is at hand
Freedom is at hand

Escaping from the blackhole
Gotta get the light to be whole
[Heartbeat]
Reaching escape velocity
Freedom is at hand
If we can just find a place to land
The gravity of the situation
The duality of illumination

When their world implodes
Due part to my shrinking
It’s my ego that explodes

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
A nagging question
I got to get in
Are you human?
the same old question
I ask it again
Are you human?
Or some sort-of alien
From an alien planet
Where they plan it
To find the kind kind
The kind that loves
Unconditionally
And additionally
Lives to give

LYRICS
When you can’t find your way
Can’t fine your way…
Make it your home
Can’t find my way
Decide if I’ll stay
Or ride the next day

I call the trail on which I roam
Home
Our path on earth on Earth
Home
Can’t explain it
But, I love this planet

When confronted with puzzles and problems
Scratch my head… go to work and try n’ solve ’em

LYRICS
I’m not looking for lithium
I’m not falling for illusion
… just looking for a’lil fusion

To have my own little sun
Would be, oh, such fun
A lil’ reactor… fusion, my son

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Agreed in deed
Encroach warp speed
Eye popping
No stopping
Jam dropping feed
No fool with fuel
Going to make it last
Slingshot orbit
Will go past fast
Now we’re wailing
Solar sailing

Most often found
That the Earth is bound
To come round
Run round and round and round and round the sun
Come to know the star of the show
And, go!

Wait till we see what’s in store
Like nothing we’ve seen before?
Mountains are moving… seas rising
Nonetheless, surprising
Terra’s uprising
Shakes all belief
Terra’s uprising
A natural relief

Wait till we see what’s to be
Like something we’ve yet to see
Mountains are moving… seas rising
Nonetheless, surprising

A natural relief

Wait till we get the meaning
Habitat needs cleaning
Mountains are moving… seas rising

Shakes all belief

A natural relief

bookmark_borderPull Us Through

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
If the sky is falling, falling
What are we going to do
Start to cry then balling
Doubt will pull us through
Thoughts and prayers
Doomed to failure
Perhaps a change in our behavior?

If the streets are flooding, flooding
What are we going to do
Eat meat or no pudding
Doubt will pull us through
Thoughts and prayers
Doomed to failure
Perhaps a change in our behavior?

If the storms are raging, raging
What are we going to do
Ignore it while we’re aging
Doubt will pull us through
Thoughts and prayers
Doomed to failure
Perhaps a change in our behavior?

A song about global warming and extreme weather events.

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Standards are dropping
As the need’s popping
Mouths are calling
Morals falling
Understand
(All over the land)
Comprehend
(To understand)
What you do
Can get us through

Jaws are dropping
As the greed’s popping
Mouths are pleading
Spirits bleeding
Understand
(All over the land)
Comprehend
(To understand)
What you do
Can get us through

People dropping
Hearts are stopping
Mouths are crying
Stop our dying
Understand
(All over the land)
Comprehend
(To understand)
What you do
Can get us through\

LYRICS
Let’s rise to the occasion
Give it all we’ve got
A heart led invasion
Give it all! Why not?
White knights into the light

Unpleasant to peasants
White knights into the light
Do goods do as they should
A heart led invasion
Give it all! Why not?

bookmark_borderTake Me Anywhere

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Just to be fair
It’s up in the air
Garden affair
Take me anywhere
Though the clock is ticking
Will I know when it ends?
Should try some time stretching
To see if it bends

Does anyone car
It’s up in the air
Be done I swear
Take me anywhere
Though the clock is ticking
Will I know when it ends?
Should try some time stretching
To see if it bends

Oh, no, to bear
“It’s up in the air”
In search of rare
Take me anywhere
Though the clock is ticking
Will I know when it ends?
Should try some time stretching
To see if it bends

bookmark_borderThe Superhero in You

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
She’ll put up a fight
Till we get things right
Put an end to blight
She puts up a fight
Papier-mâché parliament
Thinks there’s no harm in it
Leave it to government
Their/they’re too late to solve it
We’re all in need
Of the superhero in you
Hear the earth plead
You’ll find it in you

Fat cat politicians
Poor savior magicians
It’s their positions
Requiring morticians
We’re all in need
Of the superhero in you
Hear the earth plead
You’ll find it in you

She’ll put up a fight
Till we get things right
Put an end to blight
She puts up a fight
If we could all transfer more of her

LYRICS
Out of the gas
We pulled together
To make it last
Through cosmic weather
Went on… time passed
Stardust formed mass

The enormity
Due to gravity
Pulled together
Negating never
Went on… time passed
Stardust formed mass

Went on… time passed
Stardust formed mass

Shining face
Upon the surface
With a touch of friction
To hold me in
