LYRICS
Until I can figure the reason why
I’m going to try, try, try, try

Chorus
When the pushing and shoving outweigh the loving
(Where’s the lovin’?)
When the need to succeed brings out hatred and greed
(Where’s the lovin’?)

Until the captured are free
I’m going to be in search of the key

Chorus

Once you can figure out the way
I’m gonna say it’s a good day

When the pushing and the shoving give way to the loving
(There’s the lovin’!)
When the hatred and greed tide subside
(There’s the lovin’!)

Do you think it’s about time
I’m your valentine
Seems everybody forgets about you
And how love is true

The creator of love
Reign down from above
The curator of love
Giving grief a lovin’ shove

Couldn’t wait to get down
Make the sound
In my blood,
Plus what’s around
Turn it into sound
Wash n’ over you
Like a flash flood

Nature versus nurture
Turn a sonic future
Into hear here
Here and now
A now know flow
Here we go

LYRICS
A challenge
To a scrimmage
Can you create the image
In your mind’s eye
Of utopia… ahhhhh….
For you… and I, too, will try

Imagine a collision
Of both our visions
A love explosion
At last, solution

Peace and love and harmony
Breaking out everywhere
Beautiful to see
Please let it be
May we be aware
(Beware if you’re not aware)
May we be aware

LYRICS
Through your life all you gave
Is saying, “You don’t have what I have.”
But you forgot to save
The love

You forgot to save the love along the way

And the moondance
Have had a chance to unite
Ignite

ABOUT THIS SONG
Chords — Capo 5

Em G

This song was inspired by a woman holding a sign in downtown West Chester. One side of the sign said, “Sin is death. Christ is life. Romans 6:23”

However, her quote is taken out of context. The Bible actually reads:

For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

On the other side of the sign, it read “Fear God”.

There is you and I… going on our insight

LYRICS
When the tunnel appears pitch black as night
When I can’t see the end… no glimmer of light
I should have remembered to pray for a rainy day
Though I pray I can say there’s never been passion neglect

I would regret if I forget
That I’m in love with you
That would be worse than anything on Earth
That would be worse than anything I could do
That would be to curse my re-birth

I’m giving my love to the heavens above
I’m giving my love to all living beings
I’m giving my love to the heavens above
I’m giving my love to Her image samplings

LYRICS AND CHORDS

Am                   G              Am      G  Am
Little by little the night turns around,

                          G           Am    G  Am
Counting the leaves which tremble at dawn

Dm                   C          Dm          C  Dm
Lotus's lean on each other in yearning,

Am               G              Am
Over the hills a swallow is resting

G  Am  F  Am  F  Am

                         G             Am   G  Am  G  Am  G  Am
Set the controls for the heart of the sun

Am                 G                 Am     G  Am
Over the mountains watching the watcher,

                      G               Am    G  Am
Breaking the darkness waking the grapevine

Dm                   C               Dm     C  Dm
Knowledge of love is knowledge of shadow,

Am                      G            Am
Love is the shadow that ripens the wine

G  Am  F  Am  F  Am

                         G             Am   G  Am  G  Am
Set the controls for the heart of the sun,

Am
The heart of the sun,  The heart of the sun...

Am                    G            Am       G  Am
Witness the man who waves at the wall,

                        G               Am  G  Am
Making the shape of his questions to heaven

Dm                   C               Dm     C  Dm
Whether the sun will fall in the evening,

Am                   G            Am
Will he remember the lesson of giving?

G  Am  F  Am  F  Am

LYRICS
If you grab the tail of an alligator
Better be prepared to say, “See ya later!”
Before it’s too late… you’d better evacuate
Before you bake fate… no need to speculate
At the core, your spirit elevate

If you grab the tail of a rattlesnake
Better be prepared that’s all you can take
Before it’s too late, you’d better forsake
Before you bake fate, open your eyes — awake!
Love and honest faith you can’t fake
