As long as your sights are true
You can do what you want to do

Once your set your mind to it

LYRICS
If an angel hit your bug screen
Would you know what it means?
If an angel hit your windshield
Would you feel?

Are you familiar with the real deal
How an angel would feel
Are you familiar with the real deal
An angel is for real

You can thank God for your angels
Just don’t be satanic
And, throw this opportunity away
Forgo this opportunity today

It’s unlikely to come back another day
Don’t let is escape away
You know what to do
If an angel hits your bug screen
You don’t want it to be because you’re mean
If an angel hits your windshield
It would be wise to feel
Wiser yet to deal

Every now

You come to a point when….

You just follow through

No hesitation

LYRICS
Now, here is where I am
Here is where we are
It may appear we haven’t moved far
But, we’ve been there and back again

Now, here is where we are

I’m hoping that along the way
We learned a lesson or two
Some sort-of cumulative knowledge
That will help us gain… an edge
So, we’ll be further ahead
So, we gain an edge
Not be perched on the ledge

Here is where I am
Here is where we are
Though it may appear that we haven’t moved that far
’cause we’ve been there and back again

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Please forget what you are doing
Can you forget what you’re doing
Forget what you are doing
There’s something more important ensuing
That is worth you pursuing
You’re undivided attention for more than a short span is required
Please, no excuse… you’re too tired
Please no excuses
And, no… you’re not being thrown under buses
It’s time we focus
Time to wake

Can you forget
For a moment
Or, longer yet
What you’re doing?
Whatever it is you’re doing
There’s something over here with pursuing
And, like it or not, it’s ensuing
Right now
It’s not the future
It’s not the past quite yet
But, if you can’t forget what you are doing
It will no longer be present

I’d like to catch it, bottle it, cork it for you
But, it’s going on… and I don’t know for how long

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Driving down the road, I saw a bumper sticker
Reading, “If you could ask God one question, what would it be?”

I couldn’t ‘ve thunk much quicker
Before it occurred to me —
Why?

The gauntlet of life
May you be the light
Shinning bright
So rife
Ever evolving cycles
Letting us grow together
Bugle of Gabriel
All things getting better

I use to be the image of an ape, too
… just like you
We’ve traveled through
To a condition of raised vibration

An eye on why I?

Why? .mp3

LYRICS
Take a look over there
Take a listen here
With a sound crystal clear
Among friends held dear

Dance is natural
It’ll make you bop and sock-hop
It’ll make you twirl
Music is magical
It’ll make you stop the stop
And, start to feel special

It’ll become your favorite spot
Make you feel comfortable being hot
When you play a song you’re beautiful
When you dance along your unbelievable
Let it be told — sold on out-of-this-world
Why not?

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

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
