LYRICS
The seasons are changing
And, so are you
But, that doesn’t mean
Compromising your point-of-view
naught, nil, nix
toss superfluous

You elect
The energy you project

Right is right
Throughout the nights
And, always all the days

The reality of nice musicality

A Tree Suffering From Ozone Poisoning
A Tree Suffering From Ozone Poisoning

LYRICS
If you can see the sky
Ask: why?

Turn from green to brown
Fall down
Like a cannonball sailed through
Deny it… will you?

Simple reasoning
Points to ozone poisoning

When the conditions are right with sunlight
Volatile ozone ignites
Blasting right through a tree
Blasting right through you and me

Now it’s been sung
Imagine your lung
Without a tree
Where will our oxygen be?

LYRICS
Even when it’s raining, the sun shines
Even though you’re hot, you run cold
Will we be reading between the lines
Just to find… (spirits don’t have to grow old)

An answer for ignorance
When there is a preponderance
Of evidence
And, the witness is you
What will you do?

How quickly things change in the land of Oz
How quickly things change in the land of ours

LYRICS
On Tuesday evenings — a get together
Where I play in a rock-and-roll band
It’s inevitable one way or another
Gonna be a party of the grand stand

Meet up at the local pub
Make the girls shake their hips
After the show, embrace lips in lips
Been hit — the music club

God! I think I’m seeing stars
God! I think I’m hearing stars
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)

LYRICS
If I get to the point
Where I’m no use to society
Please take pity
Release Mother of my burden

Life’s worth living
As long as I’m giving
Living in a luxury sweet

When I get to heaven
There’ll be plenty of work worth doing
So as long as my love is flowing
I want to keep on going

[grunt]
Don’t think forever a working grunt
’cause you’re working your way right to the front
If you think there’s enough room in heaven for everyone
Think again
But, with your heart and passion
You’ll be all the fashion walkin’ in

LYRICS
When at last you are comfortable
Than, at last, you’re at home
When at last you are salvageable
Then, at last, you are not alone

When at last you’re forgiven
By yourself, set free for livin’
Then, at last, you’ve awaken
In your true home

With a twist of love
Sprinkled down from above
Feeling free to let yourself go
Flying high to the place of know

Have some… please have some home

With a twist of love
Shaken not broken

LYRICS
’cause there’s been more than one path beaten to heaven
Of your life is your lesson
There’s been more than one song sung
Consider your life just beginnin’

Foreboding sky approached
Clouds burst open like a water balloon
Soon the river rises
A baptism cleansing you

Don’t want to sell it
Don’t want to take it
A baptism will break ya
Of that habit

Bringing on the casting out of your demon

Cloud burst quench your thirst for salvation
Revitalization of imagination
Realization: your civilization

Livin’ with material junk
Your life’s too short

Where do the good people go… do you know?
If the good life they’ve been livin’
Is full with the goodness of givin’
(Even with the occasional sinnin’)
Ya get into heaven
Pass the pearly gates
I can hardly wait

Where do the bad people go… do you know?
If after all the chances
You choose your dances
By selling your soul to the devil
Well… ya go straight to….

While you’re still quick
Don’t take too long
And, be judged as dead

A toast to the Mother, Sun and Holy Ghost

Of life make the most

Who do you think you are
Trying to pound your fist
Reaching so far

What do you think you are
Bleeding from your ears
Dishing out fears

Demanding it’s your list
Screaming out jeers
Washing out bliss

Who wants your mess?

If you try to diminish us
You will count less
If you try to vanquish us
Us you will release
So please

Now that you’ve heard their lies
Realize?

LYRICS
Are you afraid to open your door
See people hurting like never before
Are you afraid to answer the phone
Hear the moan become a constant drone

Are you afraid to show your face
Tired of being made a public disgrace
Are you afraid to communicate
The wrong way on a one-way
Bombarded with hate, hate, thate

Then, please don’t hesitate
To call on God. Let Her mediate.

The place is here. The time is now.
Believe She’ll hear… She does somehow

God’s good grace. The mercy upon you.
Redeem your scene to heavenly… see!

Why not fear not?

LYRICS
If you should go out
There is a storm looming about
Be prepared to go under… how close is the thunder?
If you should go out
There is a storm brooding about
About an unrest in the atmosphere

If you should go out
There is a storm’s thunder shout
About to make Her way near
her intention are clear
About to make Her way here

if you should go out
There is a storm looming about
No question who is the mightiest
No question who is the frailest
Not even a test in jest

From Her foreboding i can foresee

ABOUT THE SONG
Am / Dm
Am / Em (add C)

Written at East Goshen Township Park, Chester County, Pennsylvania on July 18, 2012. Unfortunately, the storm came and the music did not get recorded.

Q: How fast does thunder travel?
A: Thunder travels at the speed of sound… approximately 6 seconds / mile.
