LYRICS
If you listen to the wind
You can hear the answer blowin’ within
When you hear the train a comin’
You know it’s time to pack it in

It’s been too long
Since you sang a song
Come on and cry a tear of joy
Let’s right the wrong
Bring love on strong
A humane plan we’ll deploy

Chorus

Put the hate our of a job
Invoke a choir from the mob
Until the devil we unemploy
Then, the bliss of happiness
The success of fulfillness
Will be there for everyone to enjoy

If you listen to the wind
You can hear the answer blowin’ within
When you hear the train a comin’
You know it’s time to pack it in
’cause when that whistle’s blowin’
It’s time to get in
All aboard! WE;re headed to the heavens…
Thank the Lord

LYRICS
“Thank you, Sir!”
I really want to thank you, Sir

When you were sitting there sipping your coffee
I didn’t know if you were even aware of me
Then, when it was time for you to go
Wouldn’t you know…
You got up and said, “Thank you, Sir”
I really want to thank you, Sir

“Thank you, Sir”
I really want to thank you, Sir

When you were driving down the street in your Jeep
You gave a shout out that I want to keep
Thumbs up, “Keep it up!”
“Thank you, Sir”
I really want to thank you, Sir

Thank You Sir.mp3

ABOUT THE SONG
This song was inspired by a writing session in Ambler, PA. While I was playing the guitar, there was a female sitting across the street at Maida coffee. She turned into the first verse. Then as I was writing the first verse, another female came driving by… she is the second verse. Thanks girls!

LYRICS
I’m sitting on the fence
And, it’s never over you

Form this point-of-view
It’s easy to see through
Plenty of evidence
For what it is that’s true

I’m sitting on the fence
And, it’s never over you

Will our species do
What we all need to?
Plenty of reverence
Is way, way overdue

I’m sitting on the fence
Taking in every clue
I’m sitting on the fence
Turning mystery into “knew”

repeat verses

I’m sitting on the fence
And, it’s never over you
There’s no need for defense
I have faith in the who
(That is you)

LYRICS
There’s a sound in me
There’s one in you, too
Depending on maybe…
It’s in a different key

Be it in major
Be it in minor
Depending on the mood of the day

Be it a panther
Moves the spirits on their way

ABOUT THE SONG
This song is about the sound source within everything, in this instance, a living being on Earth. Friends had been talking about a Universal Vibration / Sound (The Sound Thinking Article.)

Then, I saw a picture portraying the sound of the universe by astrological sign. Scorpio showed as E and C# minor. Since I naturally play in the happy voice of E all the time… I thought I’d try one in my other voice. After all, it was a raining day today.

LYRICS
She spent the money
You know she spent the money

So, she could hire an esquire
To acquire what the children desire to aspire

She spent the money
You know she spent the money

Way less than being funny
More akin to a pitiful soul, Honey

She spent the money
You know she spent the money

Instead of getting baby new shoes
She went to the spa and got hairdos

She spent the money
You know she spent the money

When it was time for the kids to be fed
When it was time for the kids to be bed
When it was time for the kids further Ed.
She misled with all she did and said

Going on a fancy vacation
By robbing the kids’ fund for education
Riding in a fancy automobile
Acting like a real big deal
At the expense of your offspring?
Heaven only knows what that will bring

We’re heading on the path to the light
The end of the tunnel. The End of the might
We’re heading toward the might

We’ve got stuff to prove
Let’s get on the move
We’ve got all to lose
In the grove we’ll cruise

We’re heading on the path to alright
The start of the rumble… the noise on the height
We’re going to see the sight
Where windows open. Let in the light

LYRICS
Maybe if we all just give a little
Wouldn’t ya know we can watch it grow
Maybe if we move from the middle
Head toward the light and watch it glow

Watch it sprout and bloom about
Feel the nurture of our nature
Watch it spread beyond your head
Transcend stature… mature blur

Maybe if we all give just a lil’ bit
Wouldn’t ya know we can watch it flow
Maybe if we try to keep the light lit
We’ll all finally be in the know

The words for the verse are crucial
And, I’m trying to figure it out

The chords for the chorus… revolution
And, I’m trying to hammer it out

Please let what they sing ring
Throughout the land
Please let what they play say
We understand

No need to rehearse. This crucible
Is sure to fire things up
The power of love is critical
The volume it’s time to turn up

Some people think, as they should
Then, act upon it real good
Without too much talk, talk, talk
Come on, Baby, let’s walk, walk, walk

No, you don’t need a chain holding you back
Try the love of a freedom attack

Some people do, as they cold
Then, follow through real good
Without too much bulk hulk sulk
Come on, Baby, let’s leave the dock

No you don’t need a rope holding you back
See what lover comes to fill any lack

While I was writing this song, I noticed some strange activities going on around me. There was a plain clothes detective, an old man and what appeared to be a prostitute. The police officer walked past me and around the corner. The prostitute got out of her car and into the car with the old man. After they drove off, the detective re-appeared from around the corner and drove the prostitute’s car away.

LYRICS
The angels march
Angelic parade
Start the search
End the charade

Seven trumpets herald
To call to all
Four beasts repeat, “holy, holy, holy”
No need to be afraid
The beasts are on a leash
What would you trade
For the best seat?

Angels on parade
March to a different beat

Lalalalalala

The stranglehold on the reptile
Low and behold the angels are on parade
Hooray!
All the while the reptile has surrendered today
The angels render
The reptiles surrender

LYRICS
There’s a panic in the house
The lady saw a mouse
Now, everyone’s beating a path to her door
With a better mouse trap then ever before
So, the mouse can’t get in
Every crack and cranny they’re fillin’
When you hear the lady shout,
“What are you doing?

What was I thinking
Givin’ up my liberty without blinking
Must have been sleeping
A thief-in-the-night stealing dreaming

There’s a panic in this land
Politicians don’t understand
That people fearing terror get irate
Don’t let ’em turn it into a police state
