LYRICS
When I get close to you, there’s nothing that I can do
I start to march
Rhythm overtakes my heart

If I thirst
If the moth is parch
Let the march burst
Just you watch
Love will rain down
Love will reign down
Quench my thirst
Let the heart burst
No need to rehearse
Let the heart burst
Prior to the hearse

LYRICS
1, 2, 3, 4
1, 2, 3, for what do we dance?
1, to what do we dance?

Bark it out
Don’t be afraid
Make a sound
Be found… out

Bark it out

Don’t be afraid
You are what you made
Now, make of it what you will
Shake it… better still

1, 2, 3, 4 what are we dancing for?

Dance a suspense dance (can’t wait to anticipate)
Dance a surveillance dance (see if there’s a scene gleam)
Dance an independence dance
Dance a reverence dance
Dance to thank God we’ve got a chance to dance!

1, 2, 3, for what? 1, 2, 3, 4 what do we dance for?
Dance for what
Jump about
Electrify I. Give Watt! (see your energy)

LYRICS
Now it’s time to go to sleep. Good night.
Go to sleep
Now it’s time to dream of dreams
See scenes from realms seldom seen

Sleep comes creepin’ in
The day-life ends just in time for the night’s to begin

Now it’s time to search real deep
Not it’s time to dream a scene
Of the future… what is yet to come
The Age Grandeur when we come together… become
The Age Grandeur when we come together
In the nether

LYRICS
In the day when the overlords overshadow
These are the days the overlords overthrow themselves
Stripping himself naked of pride and wealth

In the day when Hubris meets Nemesis
They eat themselves leaving us (innocent and righteous)
From chasing their own tail… to The End of the tale

CHORUS
Overlord overload
Under the weight of their own hoard
Overlord overload
Under the wait of the director’s board

In the day when Earth is inherited by the meek
These are days when love shall speak
Cloaking Herself naked with the pride of nature’s hide

Psalm 37
1 Do not fret because of those who are evil
or be envious of those who do wrong;
2 for like the grass they will soon wither,
like green plants they will soon die away.
9 For those who are evil will be destroyed,
but those who hope in the Lord will inherit the land.
10 A little while, and the wicked will be no more;
though you look for them, they will not be found.
11 But the meek will inherit the land
and enjoy peace and prosperity.
12 The wicked plot against the righteous
and gnash their teeth at them;
13 but the Lord laughs at the wicked,
for he knows their day is coming.

Matthew 5
4 Blessed are those who mourn,
for they will be comforted.
5 Blessed are the meek,
for they will inherit the earth.
6 Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness,
for they will be filled.

LYRICS
Take some blue
Take some yellow
Don’t forget violet
Do you know what I mean?
Take some green
(or mixing yellow and blue will do)
Color a rainbow

Don’t forget violet

If you read the directions, it calls for red
Or, you can always make do by adding some blue
If you forget the violet

(Aren’t-choo glad you got orange?)

If you’re bright
Take white light
With the rhythm of a prism
Separate the aggregate
And, you know you’ll get a rainbow
= rainbow

Like God make a promise such as this
No harm to humans I wish

Writing Throwing A Hissy Fit Song in West Chester, PA

LYRICS
If throwing a hissy fit could get you into heaven
Then, I’d quit
Too bad a temper tantrum doesn’t get you in
It’s a sin what you’ve been

[Forgive and forget?]
Before we forget, you’d better check if God will forgive
Takin’ your regret to the grave is a grave mistake
If you’re thinking God will give you a break…
Everybody ‘ll be dancing on your grave at your wake

If lying, cheating, stealing… could get you into heaven
You’d probably win
But, then again…
I wouldn’t bet your life on it
Nor throwing a hissy fit
You might as well quit

Dog gone it. Dag nab it.
Confounded stranger can’t read “DANGER!”
“BEWARE OF DOG” less you meet your God
Beware of God less you’re dog meat
He’s a big dog… you’re more the size of a dog treat
If you come knockin’ better be answerin’ to “Who is it?”

Hark,
That dog’s bit is worse than his bark
And, that dog’s bark is fierce
Listen as the shock of sound waves pierce

Faith in hope
Hope in faith
I have hope in hope
Faith that hope holds true

Within you skin’s underneath
Bare the soul that’s within you
Release the love from within the bloke
Faith that life’s not a joke
Hope that mankind learns to cope

Hoping Faithfully

Shy of pride
Fashion of compassion
String as an oak
Weaving threads into rope
Bringing peace to Earth
Faith in hope
Hope in faith

Spreading smiles and mirth
Hoping to spread the faith

I understand you’re short on hands
So, before I pass away
What can I do for you today?

’cause there is something about you
that makes me want to sing
’cause there is something about you
that makes me want to dance

The sparkle. The Twinkle. The glimmer in your eye
The uplift of your riff. The glimmer of your I.

’cause there is something about you
that makes me everything
’cause there is something about you
that makes me risk a chance

The sparkle. The Twinkle. The glimmer in your eye
The gift of your lift. The answer to my why.

ABOUT THIS SONG
C / Cm

Recorded on the night of July 7 and early morning July 8, 2012. It is the second song for the album about the meaning of life called Baby Formula. The first song, In God We Trust, was about the flawless reproduction of humans; however, sometimes something goes wrong and genes are flawed. Why? For instance, some people are colorblind, while other “normal” people choose not to see.

Feel The Pain Piano Tracks .mp3 (free music downloads)

LYRICS
When you hit your finger with a hammer
Hopefully, you feel the pain

Perhaps at first
It sounds a little insane
But, hopefully… you feel the pain

Would you rather the curse of the leper
When you feel nothing at all
Over time
Losing the sense of sense
Only sensing your senses are dull

On the other hand,
When you hit the chord of love
Spreading it with grammar
Hopefully, it’s like from heaven above

I hope you understand
Hopefully, you can feel others pain
Hopefully, you can feel others love
Hopefully, shedding the light we’re capable of

Nobody knows
Nobody knows
No one knows

Just because
Now, all is was
Nobody knows
Nobody knows

Just because
All that is… was.

Nobody knows

The Earth did quake
And, demons shake
Nobody knows

And, everything that is
Turns to was
Just because

The Earth did quake and shake
You take, take, take

Nobody knows

Nobody Knows MP3

About The Song
The song is a 6 track recording made on the Roland Boss BR-600. Two of the tracks are live piano recorded in stereo, and there are two stereo 2-tracks of vocals.

The song is about the devastation a spouse can bring on a family through abuse and abandonment. Why would someone do that? Nobody knows.
