LYRICS
“I don’t even know what’s under there”
Into space, I stare
And, wonder
Have you ever even thought of scratching the surface?

Blow away some debris
See what you see
Throw away your pedigree
Set yourself free

Decorate with fringe and lace
Celebrate with friends
Our place
God of Thunder
Loving Mother Earth
That fave us birth

Only a fool fears being a fool

Depth charge your soul
And, see what will surface

ABOUT THE SONG
D / B
D / A

Written and recorded at Everhart Park, West Chester, Pennsylvania on May 17, 2012. I overheard someone say the first line. Then, I thought about bringing your soul to the surface… similar to how a depth charge brings a submarine to the surface.

Young Love
Loves to learn
Loves to love

We’re strapping on banana suits
To bring a smile
Making people happy
We’re putting on…
Putting on banana suits
Gonna better this world…
Gonna better this world
Before we get too old

Fundraising To Fight Cancer

Diverting another crisis
That’s been left to us
(Our inheritance)
Lemonade for cancer aid
A Relay For Life
Don’t delay: HELP END STRIFE!

“People are dying”
Children are crying
“Have a great day”
What do you say?

ABOUT THE SONG
This song was written and recorded in West Chester, Pennsylvania on April 21, 2012. It was inspired by a group of girls fundraising for the American Cancer Society. The true love expressed by youth gives hope. While I was working on the music and lyrics, I sat on a bench next to the youth. The above lyrics that are in quotes were taken from their conversations; however, I was still at a loss for a title. Then, I heard a voice say, “young love”.

ABOUT THIS SONG
This song is about co-operation making beautiful music. The left side of my body plays the guitar. The right side of my body plays the keyboards. The vocals try to find middle ground that makes the whole greater than the sum of the parts.

LYRICS
I look for the meaning
In the meaning
But, I can’t always find it there
Elusive. Eluding…
Though it may be (to me)
So, too, I

So, too, I

I’m really hoping I get the knack
I hope and pray I get the knack
The proper range
The proper attack

Oh , Lord… filling my lack

So, too, I

Maybe what I was worried about is weigh, way bigger than you?
(So, I can let my shy side come through)

I’m really hoping I get the knack

LYRICS
Picnic, Dear?

Hey, hey! Wouldn’t ya say
It’s a beautiful day
All’s clear
Nothing in the way

The fog is long gone
Got my guitar… I’ll play a song
If you’d like… you can sing along

Hey, hey! Wouldn’t ya say
It’s a beautiful day
All’s clear
Nothing in the way
No fear
Nothing in the way

Hey, hey! Wouldn’t ya say
It’s a beautiful day
All’s clear
Nothing in the way
High gear
Nothing in the way

Hope’s near
Joys tear
Nothing in the way

Picnic, Dear?
Scenic *we’re*

bookmark_borderThank Goodness

I feel the days growing shorter
As the nights grow colder and evermore slower
Right when the food is scarcer
Out of nowhere comes a feast fit for the King of Kings

Funny what religion brings
When the discipline of all things
Occurs as humanity sings

Sings from the heart
Of the Good News, music, literature and art
The beauty of the fine arts
As they do their part
Spreading the Word, the joy, the happiness

She whispers in my ear,
“Thank goodness.”

I would like to take this opportunity
To thank God for God

Thanking you gave

Thanking God for good
Thanking you gave

The Smörgåsbord of intellect
Cornucopia of utopia
For all the time we collect
Thanking you gave

I hope to spend all eternity
Thanking God for God
’cause it would be mighty hard
To find a way to pray
Without you

Whatever I can do
To help pay your due
I would love to….

In the mean time, I’m…

The Song *With Love And Rage*

We’ve entered an age
In need of our sage
From the year nothing
Spring…
To be our savior
Bringing blankets to the shivering
Bringing food to those hungering
Medical attention to any needing aiding

We pray
Please don’t take that away
With love and rage
Occupy the savage age
X’s and O’s
The hero from year zero

Have we fed the end
Are you fed-up with the end
Ready for the love you send
To bring the thing for which we sing
To the hears of every human

Are you fed-up with this human zoo
Are you? Are you ready…
Ready to begin anew

Look at the view
Through
The eyes of the child
Babe
Swaddling
May the joy be piled

Sigh
Bring that thing for which we sing

Some sort-of martyr
Or, still alive… going Further?

Do you wish to be grateful, dead?
Born to wear a crown of thorn
Or, still alive… with the gift of life

As it’s told
Turn to cold
The winter did

Never too old
Learn to fold
Back into the kid
The child you once were

The rest of your life
Just a blur

Back to Mother Nature
Your wife

Under the star
The child you are
Back from afar
The child you are

The trumpets blare
Now you’re aware
Of the child you are

The bells ring true
Of the child in you
Of the child you are

LYRICS
Whirring of the whirlybird
Overhead
Bringing on fear…
Dread
Rumors, gossip…
Over what’s been said

Waiting for the other shoe to drop
Waiting for an onslaught of the assault cop

Gone to hell
All that’s left…
A shell

Heart ripped from soul
Soul ripped from heart
Twisted
Torn apart
What’s the toll of your goal
Resisted
A fresh start

Press the press
For nothing less
Than the truth
Press the press’s button
To turn on
The wisdom tooth
To turn off
The aloof
Are those in P.R.
Really that far
From reality of disparity
Disparity of sincerity
The rarity of ability
To annunciate their state
Seek their fate

How can you hoard
When you’re homeless
You’re never board with Earth
When Earth’s your nest

Trying to find the ends
To make ends meet
Thank God, Mother Nature lends

Shelter, drink and something to eat
That’s good… Mother Nature sends

Why do humans hoard
When they need less
Squirrel away for their rainy day
Creating a mess
For those with less
No measure of success
Comparing oneself to the homeless
No measure of success
Compared to worthless
