LYRICS
When you think
About it
What a trip
Embark your mental ship
Connect with the humane orbit
You’re our missing link
Are our missing link
If we could just get in synch

LYRICS
Icicles hanging from the trees
Results of a December freeze
Snowflakes dancing in the breeze
An opportunity for us to seize
What do you say… let’s seize the day
Stockings hanging from the mantel
Christmas ornaments… be extra gentle
A tree topped with an archangel
An opportunity for the gentile
Let it be said… love we all spread
What do you say… let’s seize the day
Like kids on a snowday… let’s play

LYRICS
Never sat upon a throne
Never wore a crown
Never called himself King
That’s just the thing
I never called myself King Of The Jew
How about you?
And, how would you
Like a crown of thorn
On your throne
Crucifixion
Soul extinction?
At least not a lone
(He was then crucified and hung between two convicted thieves.)
Hung out to dry
Hung out to die
Hung out
Without doubt
“After being flogged, Jesus was mocked by Roman soldiers as the “King of the Jews”, clothed in a purple robe, crowned with thorns, beaten and spat on. Jesus then had to make his way to the place of his crucifixion.”
He was then crucified and hung between two convicted thieves.

LYRICS
For crying out loud
I just found
When I look around
I’m in a cloud
All this fog
Causes vision to clog
I musta missed all this mist
In some sort of fate twist
Easy to resist
Seeing what exists
Rape, murder and hate
Before it’s too late
Let the light shine through
And reveal what is true

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
Justice delayed is justice denied
When it’s implied, it’s applied
Justice denied
Justice delayed
Justice dismayed
Justice denied
Black hat
White hat
What side?
Justice delayed is justice denied
It might be easy to say
A you just sit on your swing and sway
“That’s nice… justice”
Until they put you behind the bars
The accounts that might just be too bizarre
For you to realize
Treatment by your government…
You might put into size
It might not be quite right
Justice delayed is justice denied

Turn churn living loving

LYRICS
Please tell me what would you like it to be about?
Please tell me what would you like your life to be about
Can you answer without doubt
What would you like your life to be about?
In and out and in and out and in and out…
What would you like your life to be about?
Be the creator of your landscape
Shape the ape
Envision your vision
Control your dream
Control the scene (less obscene)
Imagine you’re a train engineer
Engineer your train
Engineer where you want to go
Because you know where you want to go
Go!
Engineer,
You can steer clear
You can be aware
Aware everywhere
You can go where you want to go
You know

LYRICS
When we touch down
Probably won’t stick ’round
There’s no time for bickering
There’s no time for heckling
Much rather be singing
Phrases that praises living (loving)
When we touch down
A quick stop in town
There’s no time for snickering
There’s no time for belittling
Much rather be singing
Phrases that praises living (loving)

LYRICS
Oh hear ye merry gentlemen
Oh here ye merry gentlemen
Oh hear ye ladies and gents
Here’s the message… heaven sent
The situation of my evolution is in a horrible state
The civics of our economics decays at an unbelievable rate
Now, the homeless on the street
Are the friends that I meet
Merry Christmas
Sometimes the only time to eat
Salvation Army, church or dumpster treat

Who is the most famous Jew
To you?
Da ya think he observed Passover and Hanukkah
Hugh, do ya?
Chorus
And what do you think he’d say
About Christmas Day
Celebration…
Or jaw-dropping dismay
Easter… Passover
Christmas lights…
Celebration
8 days and nights
Chorus
Turkey leftover
Manger re-creation
Imagine…
Graven image
Wrapped and swaddling
Beautiful or disgusting

LYRICS
Just like the ants
Man goes marching one by one
To get out of the pain
… the last one stops looking at the world undone
Unlike the plants
Man is marching one by one
[In order to sustain
(Unless we learn to let that what’re roll right off our leaves,
roll on roll off roll on… for the one that believes.)]
… the last one stops… scratches his head… and wonders… where’s the fun?
Just like the ants
Man goes marching two by two
To get out of the pain
… the last one stops and asks of you, “are you coming, too?”

When you say
Oh, Lord,
What do you mean?
Chosen to preside over the festival
Of us all
Along for the ride to help us guide
And be the lover spiritual

Hey, Lawdy, Lawdy
Can you see me
Hey, Lord
Can I be heard
