LYRICS
Can it truly…
Can it truly…
Can it truly be
Another year, really?
Seconds turn to minutes
Minutes turn to hours
Trying to savor time
While it is ours
Seconds turn to minutes
Minutes turn to hours
Be a savior of time
While it is ours

Can it truly…

Can it truly be
A year’s gone by, really?
Seconds turn to minutes
Minutes turn to hours
Trying to savor time
While it is ours
Seconds turn to minutes
Minutes turn to hours
Be a savior of time
While it is ours

Can it truly…
Can it truly…
Can it truly be
A New Year is here
Seconds turn to minutes
Minutes turn to hours
Trying to savor time
While it is ours
Seconds turn to minutes
Minutes turn to hours
Be a savior of time
While it is ours

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Please pay no mind to me
I’m happy left to be…
Me
I don’t need to bleed
Concede, nor rumor feed

Please pay no mind to me

No money, seriously
Pure greed doesn’t interest me

Please pay no mind to me
I’m happy left to be…
Me
No game seeking fame
No pose, I suppose

Amazed at the different ways
Amused how I get confused
Always seems to make my days/daze
Well used
Waste not want not
Motion won’t rot
Give it a shot

Amazed at the different ways
Amused how I get confused
Always seems to make my days/daze
Well used
Waste not want not
Gave it a shot
Thanks a whole lot

LYRICS
When you can’t find your way
Can’t fine your way…
Make it your home
Can’t find my way
Decide if I’ll stay

The same three words
Will come to mind
I love you

The bees the birds
And all mankind

Believe I feel it
In the spirit
It’s easy to fall
In love with you all

bookmark_borderWord Diet

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
I have trouble digesting
When it comes to my own words
Is this karma suggesting
I fall on my own sword?
Couldn’t you just die
For the taste of humble pie
Please add some “I scream”
In the à la Mode of a dream

I’ll be careful what I say
It’s not worth the price to pay
Humor’s on the run
While I try to bite my tongue
Couldn’t you just die
For the taste of humble pie
Please add some “I scream”
In the à la Mode of a dream

Having fed the cat my tongue
Appears my time is done
To find the words to say
Pleas have a pleasant day
Couldn’t you just die
For the taste of humble pie
Please add some “I scream”
In the à la Mode of a dream

LYRICS
When confronted with puzzles and problems
Scratch my head… go to work and try n’ solve ’em
There’s an answer
Waiting right there

Then think again
And, we’ll be sowing
A solution evolution

A song about conducting experiments.

LYRICS
I’m not looking for lithium
I’m not falling for illusion
… just looking for a’lil fusion

To have my own little sun
Would be, oh, such fun
A lil’ reactor… fusion, my son

Heaven’s calling…
… home
Feel all alone
On your own?

No need stalling

How I long for the winter’s cold
Ice skates
Snowflakes
Stories told
By the fireside
Seasons tide

Do you long for the winter’s cold

Seasons tide

Bring on tidings of joy
Bringing on tidings of joy

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
It took a while to sink in
But now I’m ready… begin
I’m alive
Why not thrive?

Since then I started thinking
You mean I’m really in skin?
It took a while to sink in
But now I’m ready… begin

I’m alive
Why not thrive?

Before my skin is wearing thin
Guess it’s time that I begin
I’m alive
Why not thrive?

bookmark_borderWarp Speed

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Agreed in deed
Encroach warp speed
Eye popping
No stopping
Jam dropping feed
No fool with fuel
Going to make it last
Slingshot orbit
Will go past fast
Now we’re wailing
Solar sailing

Most often found
That the Earth is bound
To come round
Run round and round and round and round the sun
Come to know the star of the show
And, go!

Wait till we see what’s in store
Like nothing we’ve seen before?
Mountains are moving… seas rising
Nonetheless, surprising
Terra’s uprising
Shakes all belief
Terra’s uprising
A natural relief

Wait till we see what’s to be
Like something we’ve yet to see
Mountains are moving… seas rising
Nonetheless, surprising
Terra’s uprising
Shakes all belief
Terra’s uprising
A natural relief

Wait till we get the meaning
Habitat needs cleaning
Mountains are moving… seas rising
Nonetheless, surprising
Terra’s uprising
Shakes all belief
Terra’s uprising
A natural relief

bookmark_borderPull Us Through

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
If the sky is falling, falling
What are we going to do
Start to cry then balling
Doubt will pull us through
Thoughts and prayers
Doomed to failure
Perhaps a change in our behavior?

If the streets are flooding, flooding
What are we going to do
Eat meat or no pudding
Doubt will pull us through
Thoughts and prayers
Doomed to failure
Perhaps a change in our behavior?

If the storms are raging, raging
What are we going to do
Ignore it while we’re aging
Doubt will pull us through
Thoughts and prayers
Doomed to failure
Perhaps a change in our behavior?

A song about global warming and extreme weather events.

bookmark_borderFeeling Blue?

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Under sky of blue
How ’bout you
Are you feeling blue?
Here is something
To get you through —
Dab of yellow will do
You’ll be the envy of the scene
Turning green
If you know what I mean?

Over sea of blue
How ’bout you
Are you feeling blue?
Here is something
To get you through —
Dab of yellow will do
You’ll be the envy of the scene
Turning green
If you know what I mean?

On planet of blue
How ’bout you
Are you feeling blue?
Here is something
To get you through —
Dab of yellow will do
You’ll be the envy of the scene
Turning green
If you know what I mean?
