LYRICS
Start everyone shoutin’
At the Love Fountain
Throw a penny if you wish
Certainly can’t miss
May the dream come true
For you

To get to know the flow
Meet me at Love Park
Before it gets dark

Time to stop all the lootin’
With our atmospheric pollutin’
Stand up if you care
Share you’re aware
Truth is more than just a dream
It’s the dream supreme

To get to know the flow
Meet me at Love Park
Before it gets dark

LYRICS
Oh, where did the love go
Whoa… do you know?
Oh, where did your love go
’cause it hasn’t been shinning
No it doesn’t even show
’cause it hasn’t been shinning
Let it start… begin! Let it show

Where, oh, where did your love go
Where, oh, where can it be
Where, oh, where did your love go
’cause your heart is feeling empty

Ohhh… City Of Brotherly

Christmas In Love Park, Philadelphia, PA
Christmas In Love Park, Philadelphia, PA

I went to the City of Brotherly Love,
And, asked ’em,
“How do you spell love?”

They replied,
L. Ooooo V E,
With a lopsided Oh.

I went to God Almighty Above,
And, asked her,
“If you were to conjure up a spell,
well… what would it be?”
She replied with an angel’s sigh,
“The spell is love.”

Please sing it with me,
“Love spell,
L. Ooooo V. E.,
With a lopsided Oh.”

Beats the devil outta hell,
L.O.V.E. spell

All yell,
“Love spell,
L. Ooooo V. E.,
With a lopsided Oh.”

As it’s told
Turn to cold
The winter did

Never too old
Learn to fold
Back into the kid
The child you once were

The rest of your life
Just a blur

Back to Mother Nature
Your wife

Under the star
The child you are
Back from afar
The child you are

The trumpets blare
Now you’re aware
Of the child you are

The bells ring true
Of the child in you
Of the child you are

lyrics
(It’s) Your Move

Written November 3, 2011 at the Your Move sculpture

A giant game piece
Used in the name of peace
Across from where you park love

Helicopter whirling overhead
I still overheard
A voice rise above,
“It’s your move!”

Move your piece
Move your peace
Move for peace

Contrast Comcast
Cast your system
System of casts
Not, what I am

Move your piece
Move your peace
Move for peace

MY LETTER TO CITY HALL
To whom it may concern:

Pursuant to today’s telephone conversation, thank you for your assistance. As you suggested, I did contact the Mayor’s Press Department.

It is my desire to coordinate press in two ways:
1) Obtain any positive *copy* covering the Philadelphia Police Department and the Mayor’s office. Any statements, press releases or related materials that can be edited and/or redistributed to news organizations would be greatly appreciated. I am looking for any information that will help substantiate that the Philadelphia Police have been doing an excellent job at Occupy Philly, as well as, being civil and cordial.

2) An on-camera appearance by representatives from the Police Department or the Mayor’s Office. Besides praising the Departments on camera, I would like to review the *move plan* offered to Occupy Philly by the Mayor. If we could shoot on-location Thursday or Friday during a picture perfect day, I would like to meet.

Questions include:
Where can Occupy Philly move? [The area will be filmed.]
Will there be electric?
Does Occupy Philly need any permits? Permits to move? Permits to play music? etc.
Can the move start this weekend?

Thank you. I shall await your advice.
