LYRICS
We’ve been a long time at see
Searchin’ for the land of the free
Then, it finally came to me…
In the presence of intelligence
Be

Can you feel the peace
Hear the harmony
Adrenaline release
Near ecstasy

We’ve been a long time at see
Sailin’ from The End to begin
That’s when it came to me
In the presence of the essence
Be

Chorus

We’ve been a long time at see
Wailin’ to God for mercy
Then, much to Her fancy
It came to be

LYRICS
Where do we go from here
Now that we know what we know
Do you fear or hold dear
The blow of the flow?

All of a sudden the vision is crystal clear
Not a burden of mission… more a seers sear

Are we about to find out
Emergency exit only
Are we about to find doubt
Or the spirit holy?

Chorus

Will the tide roll out
Will the tide roll in
Will we scream and shout
Will we hold it in

(It’ll be no surprise
If you burn through with your I’s)

When it comes to opinion
You’re not alone
Asshole per minion
Head fulla bone

Chorus
Long term consequence
Not left up to chance
Long term consequence
Written in stone

An object in motion is in motion
No, you can’t hold the phone
Time your emotion grabs the notion
We’re in a humanity zone

When it comes to an option
Why piss and moan?
Worn turn evolution
Butterfly flown

LYRICS
The Delaware is running high
Thanks to the banks
For keeping us dry

While on the other side, the well runs dry
While where the well runs dry they cry,
“Is salvation hiding nearby?”

Flanks of the ranks
Make trying a try
While on the other side, Fat Cats — big, fat & wide

ABOUT THIS SONG
This song was written on South Street at Penns Landing along the Delaware river in Philadelphia, PA (after a record rainfall.) The polarity of the flood and drought conditions around the world is used as a metaphor for the polarity between the “have’s” and the “have not’s”.

LYRICS
Oh, where did the love go
Whoa… do you know?
Oh, where did your love go
’cause it hasn’t been shinning
No it doesn’t even show
’cause it hasn’t been shinning
Let it start… begin! Let it show

Where, oh, where did your love go
Where, oh, where can it be
Where, oh, where did your love go
’cause your heart is feeling empty

Ohhh… City Of Brotherly

LYRICS
The traffic races through my head
Before I blurt out what’s to be said
Won’t be a blight… no, not a dread
Try as I might to put it to bed

As you depend on a leprechaun
Your luck is gone… gone, gone, gone
Or worship some graven image
Digging your grave is no mirage
Not in this age… not in this day… hey, hey, hey!

You can dance here. There’s nothing to fear.
Put your arms in the air. Dance without care.
Prancing up and down… chancing it all around
Carefree dancing happily

LYRICS
If you go indifferent
You’ll come out different
When time turns real
Don’t forget how to feel

You’re running the rat race
Getting fat for the cat
Gonna bury your soul with that hunk of meat?
R.I.P. Rest In Peace

You seem to forget
An eternity of regret
Seize the moment
Less the moment seizure you

ABOUT THIS SONG
Capo 2
Written and recorded in Ambler and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on May 20, 2012. It’s about a disease that attacks most humans — growing old. As children turn into adults, they tend to become indifferent about life. Please, oh please, Lord… not me.

Daniel Brouse writing the song Walking Small

Men thinking
They could wall tall
To make others
Feel small
Without blinking
Squashing
No consideration
At all
A federation
Of corruption
Damnation crusade
Tryin’ persuade
By destruction
Men thinking
They could walk talk
Please,
Drop to your knees
