LYRICS
Hmmm… yum, yum, yum

Saw a reflection of a wizard
Looking up at me
Wondering how long
Our history would be

Just for fun
He thought he’d question me
“Can you tell how long
Our history will be?”

I looked into the sky
… with a sigh
“Can you tell me, Creator,
How long we will be?”

She said,
“Son, you see there’s something troubling me…
Creation termination is how it’s gonna be?”

I said,
“You’re right. Thanks for showing me the light.”

Yum, yum, yum we love eatin’ up dumb
Yum, yum, yum we love slurpin’ up dumb
Yum, yum, yum we love suckin’ up dumb
Yum, yum, yum we love throwin’ up dumb

LYRICS
Wake!
There’s a wake from a quake
A tsunami headin’ right for me

Better seek out whether higher ground can be found

Wake!
There’s a flood of information comin’ right at me

Better seek out whether higher ground can be found

Wake!
For goodness sake… it’s a fake
A wave of dishonesty comin’ right for me

Better seek out whether higher ground can be found

LYRICS
First, I heard it
Heard they said it
But I really, really, really didn’t get it

So maybe you can explain to me
Why the big mystery?

Next, I read it
Read they said it
But I really, really, really didn’t get it

Chorus

Then, I saw it
Witnessed all of it
Couldn’t see how someone… anyone… really, really, really couldn’t get it

LYRICS
Old King Cole was a merry old soul
Livin’ so peacefully
Old King Cole was a merry old soul
A merry old soul was he
Smokin’ his pipe and listening to his fiddlers three

Chorus
A merry old soul
A merry old soul
A merry old soul was he

Andrew Wyeth’s Brandywine bank
Makes for perfect scenery
Andrew Wyeth on Brandywine’s bank
Livin’ so peacefully
With his paints and artistry
… he’d capture history

Chorus

The indigenous Lenape
Living in Lenape
The indigenous Lenape
Livin’ so peacefully
Smokin’ peace pipes in a teepee
Dancin’ to drummers
Dancin’ to drummers
Dancin’ to drummers merrily

LYRICS
No matter the tribulation
No, no matter the trial
Merely your suggestion
Brings on a mile wide smile

You saving grace
You bring a smile to my face

Under the situation
Of you playing guitar
The jubilation
Toward a smile goes far

You saving grace
You bring a smile to my face

If only the population
Would yell more, more, more
The spiritual elevation
Will bring on smiles for sure

You saving grace
You bring a smile to my face

ABOUT THE SONG
Chords — E A E
Bm7 A E

Written in Ambler, PA and recorded at Fort Washington State Park in Ft. Washington, Montgomery County, PA. The live version was recorded by Jon at the Jon Sherling Studios in Mount Laural, NJ.

The inspiration came as I sat on a bench in Ambler, PA trying to think of a song to play on stage that night. When I started writing the music on an acoustic guitar, I look up and saw a face smiling back at me. This made me smile. So, I continued with the inspiration knowing the smiling faces would make me smile that night. Then, I stopped to write down some lyrics, and I heard a little voice behind me yell, “More! More! More!” It was a little girl maybe 2-3 years old. She continued chanting until I started playing again. May music bring a smile to our faces.

LYRICS
I’d like to thank you for your generosity

So… this guy jumps out of a car
Sprinting toward me
I’m hoping not too far
On my hand he lays some money
Then, back into the moving car…
He jumps in

I’d love to thank him
For loving the guitar
(and, jumping from a moving car!?!?!)

You ain’t no fool
That’s how to be cool

I’d like to thank you for your generosity

Sitting under a tere in the rain… it’s insane

I’d like to thank you for your generosity

LYRICS
The politicians are robbing the bank
And who do we have left to thank
The world economy is in the tank
As the hopes of children fell in… they sank

That’s the way it goes
If you’re not on your toes
That’s the way it can go
When you’re not in the know

I the name of God they strike and kill
Try and swallow that bitter, bitter pill
In the name of greed we lose freewill
Just a matter of time until… until

The shuttle has lifted off
Told ya so those who scoff

The bird in flight
Despite your spite
Soaring through the blue
Eagle has landed
Godspeed… through the night
Flying through to you

No need for you to check your nail
No need for you to check your mail
You wear your soul on the outside
Wearin’ it on your sleeve… can’t hide

Better not take it for granted
Better not take it for granite
If your view on the world is slanted
Turn you rants into ranted

Building this rock on solid rock
On rock, rock on

It ain’t fine if you wanna wine all the time
For goodness sake! Give more than you take!
Time to hide the pride
… take a soul ride

LYRICS
Passing through the time
Headed down stream to the future
Floating on the dream, I’m….
And then further….

Part of the clockworks of the machine
This cog is turning the hands
Giving aura to the scene
Of the hourglass’ sands

The tick-tock of the clock
Watching nature mature
The talk talk turns to squawk
Wondering will our species endure

LYRICS
Are you awake?
There’s a big ass snake
Swimming in our water
You may wish to go no further

Why did he pick today
To come out and play
Silently slithering with no wake

Look! Upon the rock top
Coiled in the sun
Do you fell the urge to run?
Stop!

You’re sure you’re the cure
Mixer of the fixer elixir
Or snake oil salesman?

Amen

ABOUT THE SONG

Written and recorded on the banks of the Brandywine River in Lenape, PA. The song was inspired by a large (over four feet long) Northern Water Snake. It crawled out from under the rocks I was sitting on, swam through the swimming hole and sunned itself on rocks on the other side.
