LYRICS
Do you think we might
Make it through the night
All the way ’till broad daylight
Do you think we may
Do you think we might

The truth opens every door
Revealing so, so much more
The truth really paves the way
TO understand the New Day

Do you think we might
Make it through the day
All the way ’till the dark of night
Do you think we may
Do you think we might

LYRICS
If you’re afraid to choose ’cause you might lose
Go ahead and jump in
’cause you’re certain to lose if you don’t choose
Jump in and learn how to swim

It’s not that hard to figure out
You just relax and float about
Take a deep breath. Take a dive.
Take a glide to the sub side

The water said “you can tread on me”
Go ahead and jump in
The elementary backstroke is elementary. The free is free.
Jump in and learn how to swim

This song is an analogy that uses the process of learning how to swim with your body to promote learning to swim with your soul. The video was shot through cacti as sort-of a mirror image of swimming in water.

LYRICS
I would like to take this opportunity
To thank you for stopping
When most people are given the opportunity
They just keep on walking, walking, walking

Was it naivety?
Was it curiosity?
Was it stupidity?
Was it angelity?

Agile angel
With a saving grace
Agile angel
True love embrace

I can see the angel in your face
Given the opportunity of your stopping
Now and forever you’ve left a trace
Song of opportunity of your stopping

This song was inspired by the angels I’ve been bumping into. Not only do angels flock to a grave situation, they also flock to scenes of heavenly grace. In this instance, I was blessed by a couple angels while songwriting. So, I wrote the song about them.

Don’t let some alligator
Be an agitator
Don’t let some crocodile
Steal your smile
Or, you’ll end up with reptile dysfunction

Don’t let some snapping turtle
Prove a hurdle
Don’t let some boa constrictor
Constrict ya

Don’t let some lizard
Curse your wizard

This song was inspired by the angels I’ve been bumping into. Some of them seem to have a severe aversion to serpents. Take it as a tongue-in-cheek metaphor?

If you listen to the wind
You can hear the answer blowin’ within
When you hear the train a comin’
You know it’s time to pack it in

It’s been too long
Since you sang a song
Come on and cry a tear of joy
Let’s right the wrong
Bring love on strong
A humane plan we’ll deploy

Put the hate our of a job
Invoke a choir from the mob
Until the devil we unemploy
Then, the bliss of happiness
The success of fulfillness
Will be there for everyone to enjoy

You can hear the answer blowin’ within
When you hear the train a comin’
You know it’s time to pack it in

It’s time to get in
All aboard! WE;re headed to the heavens…

LYRICS
“Thank you, Sir!”
I really want to thank you, Sir

When you were sitting there sipping your coffee
I didn’t know if you were even aware of me
Then, when it was time for you to go
Wouldn’t you know…
You got up and said, “Thank you, Sir”
I really want to thank you, Sir

“Thank you, Sir”
I really want to thank you, Sir

When you were driving down the street in your Jeep
You gave a shout out that I want to keep
Thumbs up, “Keep it up!”
“Thank you, Sir”
I really want to thank you, Sir

Thank You Sir.mp3

ABOUT THE SONG
This song was inspired by a writing session in Ambler, PA. While I was playing the guitar, there was a female sitting across the street at Maida coffee. She turned into the first verse. Then as I was writing the first verse, another female came driving by… she is the second verse. Thanks girls!

LYRICS
I’m sitting on the fence
And, it’s never over you

Form this point-of-view
It’s easy to see through
Plenty of evidence
For what it is that’s true

I’m sitting on the fence
And, it’s never over you

Will our species do
What we all need to?
Plenty of reverence
Is way, way overdue

I’m sitting on the fence
Taking in every clue
I’m sitting on the fence
Turning mystery into “knew”

repeat verses

I’m sitting on the fence
And, it’s never over you
There’s no need for defense
I have faith in the who
(That is you)

ABOUT THE SONG
This song is about the sound source within everything, in this instance, a living being on Earth. Friends had been talking about a Universal Vibration / Sound (The Sound Thinking Article.)

Then, I saw a picture portraying the sound of the universe by astrological sign. Scorpio showed as E and C# minor. Since I naturally play in the happy voice of E all the time… I thought I’d try one in my other voice. After all, it was a raining day today.

LYRICS
She spent the money
You know she spent the money

So, she could hire an esquire
To acquire what the children desire to aspire

She spent the money
You know she spent the money

Way less than being funny
More akin to a pitiful soul, Honey

She spent the money
You know she spent the money

Instead of getting baby new shoes
She went to the spa and got hairdos

She spent the money
You know she spent the money

When it was time for the kids to be fed
When it was time for the kids to be bed
When it was time for the kids further Ed.
She misled with all she did and said

Going on a fancy vacation
By robbing the kids’ fund for education
Riding in a fancy automobile
Acting like a real big deal
At the expense of your offspring?
Heaven only knows what that will bring

Maybe if we all just give a little
Wouldn’t ya know we can watch it grow
Maybe if we move from the middle
Head toward the light and watch it glow

Watch it sprout and bloom about
Feel the nurture of our nature
Watch it spread beyond your head
Transcend stature… mature blur

Maybe if we all give just a lil’ bit
Wouldn’t ya know we can watch it flow
Maybe if we try to keep the light lit
We’ll all finally be in the know
