LYRICS
Yes, I know exactly what you said
It has penetrated my head
I get it
Ya, I get it
Do I appear to be thick as a brick?
I beg your pardon
That’s not me
I can see
Yes, I get it
And, no… I didn’t forget it
I got it
Long before you came into the picture
For sure
I’ve already gotten it
Now, you cause the present to be a blur
Let’s look into the future
’cause I get it

LYRICS
I’ve seen
A severe serene scene
One void of mean
Default — self-wealth
Like a bug screen filtered dream
A severe serene scene seen
I’ve seen
A severe serene scene
Completely come clean
Spiritually stealth
Singular multitudes
Splendid attitudes
Singular multitudes
Singing songs on high
The answer to, “Why?”

LYRICS
Why did the chicken cross the road?
To beat the egg
Which came first the chicken or the egg?
Let’s go to the otherside
Leaving the irrational behind
Let’s ride the train of thought
To the otherside
A place that’s logical we’ll find
From that compassion will result
On the rightside
Why did Jack and Jill go up the hill?
To chuck your muck
Let’s fetch a wail of laughter
And, live happily everafter
If you fell down and broke your crown
Let’s leave the irrational behind
Leaving the irrational behind
Let’s ride the train of thought
To the otherside
A place that’s logical we’ll find
From that compassion will result
On the otherside

LYRICS
Is there nothing I can do to persuade you
There’s somethings that we can do
That will save us. Stupendous!
You might turn off a light
Helping clear clutter from sight
There’s somethings that we can do
That will save us. Stupendous!
You might put up a fight
To when it comes to doing what’s right
There’s somethings that we can do
That will save us. Stupendous!
Though trite… turn off a light
Helping clear-up a blight
There’s somethings that we can do
That will save us. Stupendous!
Depend upon us. Stupendous!

LYRICS
Playing the guitar when you drove by
My, my, my, oh, my
Rolled down the window… gave a big thumbs-up
My, my, my, oh, my
In terms of cheer… you filled my cup
My, my, my, oh, my
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you for that.
To the man of the hour, I tip my hat
Writing a Thanksgiving sing-along song
My, my, my, oh, my
Inspired because you came along
My, my, my, oh, my
Thankful your music filled the year (and my ear)
My, my, my, oh, my
Thankful we’re all together… here!

LYRICS
What do you think
Would you rather be on the brink
Of being there?
Life’s sojourn just keeps getting better
Wouldn’t you rather…
Then being there?
Once life’s journey is complete
Exactly how many feet deep
Do you want buried
I mean what’s your hurry?
Filling up every millisecond
Stuff it full, I’d reckon
To the brink, Id’ think
So your legend is knowledge

LYRICS
Dangling from a thread
Starting to weave a web
Around me
Want the last drop of blood
To satisfy the greed
Concede… see it will never be
Don’t try to feed the greed
Start to feed the heart
Create a flood of blood
And, the world will feed

The only way to recognize our uniform
It’s torn

LYRICS
How can we achieve flight
if we hold on too tight
The trick is getting to know
When to let go
When there’s not a human to be found
The world will still be spinning round
When there’s not a sole left in sight
Nature’s there to nurture curve
Don’t be made a fool. Make a sound.
Let those fools all be hellbound
There’s still you and me to set things right
Nature’s there to nurture. We’re sure.
