LYRICS
I’m plotting a course
Through rough territory
Feel nature’s force
In the music of country

Finding my way back
To the range
Finding mighty strange
That we lack
Sing “nothing!”

I’m plodding along
Through this hysteria
American folk song
Man bless America

Finding my way home
Over prairie
Finding not along
Trail to unveil
Happy Valley

LYRICS
You wake up in the morning
Lift your head from bed
You wine that life is boring
While you play the living dead

Oh, glory be
If we can get to eternity
Oh, glory be
Eternity without infinity

Should heed the warning
Listened to what She said
Making life enduring
Feeding spirit, heart and head

Oh, glory be
If we can get to eternity
Oh, glory be
Eternity without infinity

LYRICS
Oh, Karen
It’s raining again
The opens
Pourin’ pours in

There’s a hard rain falling
Mother Nature’s calling

Deserts barren
Not raining at all
The dry searing
Parchin’ our skin

Earth’s climate falling
Mother Nature’s calling

Oh, Karen
It’s happening again
Extreme weather shenanigans
Volatility maximum

There’s a hard rain falling
Mother Nature’s calling

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
We’re so out of step with time
We’re so out of step with time
It makes no reason or rhyme
We’re so out of step with time

So out of time
They’ll call it a crime
So out of time
Beating The Dead Sublime

We’re so out of step with time
We’re so out of step with time
Don’t know if we’ll fit in the frame
Don’t want the legacy of your shame

We’re so out of step with time
Now it’s a strain
For us to remain

LYRICS
Ya saddle on up next to me
I lose my gravity
Now I’m starting to see
… starting to see clearly

Ride, cowgirl, ride

Take me by the arm and swing me ’round
I ain’t ever, ever coming down
Though this dance has four equal sides
It’s definitely one of my more chaotic rides

Ride, cowboy, ride

Now I’m starting to see
… starting to see clearly

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

LYRICS
The traffic races through my head
Before I blurt out what’s to be said
Won’t be a blight… no, not a dread
Try as I might to put it to bed

As you depend on a leprechaun
Your luck is gone… gone, gone, gone
Or worship some graven image
Digging your grave is no mirage
Not in this age… not in this day… hey, hey, hey!

You can dance here. There’s nothing to fear.
Put your arms in the air. Dance without care.
Prancing up and down… chancing it all around
Carefree dancing happily

LYRICS
At the days end the crow did descend
And ate all that did remain
Only to ascend… do it again
To call it a constant refrain

At the end of days
Trapped like rates in a maze
Confused, rattled and dazed

As night approaches
Darkness encroaches
Known fear of the unknown
Which nation or location
Will be your salvation
Crucifixion? Spirit bares it

LYRICS
A reminiscence about the resonance
Of your presence

In place with God
At peace with the sword
Oh my, Lord!

Being able to see what will be
Be it what it may for is surely maybe
Maybe we’d see
We as a seed
n’ proceed to succeed
Without greed
Fulfill the need
Breed to feed society

I think I am
Therefore, I am… alive!

Time to dive
Into the essence
Of Her presence

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

Those of the light
And the moondance
Have had a chance to unite
Ignite
Romance
In life
Making lovin’ your wife

Who’s gonna change the course
Of the police force
Who will force them
To be less coarse?

The space force
Of course

They’ve had a divorce
From reality
Turned into the source
Of disparity

Who’s gonna change the course
Of the police force
Who will force them
To be less coarse?
The space force
Of course

Stereo hero

The space force
Of course
