LYRICS
I can feel it
Can you seal it?
Fly above the clouds
I’ve come to share
You’ve come to care?
Try the love on crowds
Let the reign fall
Love fall on all
Do unto the morning dew
Reason season
Flavor it we’ll savor it
With passion’s fruit

I can hear it
Can you steer it?
Fly above the storm
I hear it clear
Both far and near
Let’s make love the norm
Let the reign fall
Love fall on all
Do unto the morning dew
Reason season
Flavor it we’ll savor it
With passion’s fruit

Now we know it
Can we grow it
Rise above the hate
The time is now
The rhyme is how
Pour the love… why wait?
Let the reign fall
Love fall on all
Do unto the morning dew
Reason season
Flavor it we’ll savor it
With passion’s fruit

LYRICS
When you ride in the back
The one thing you lack
Is a little bit of self-control
Then rock n’ roll
Can sooth the soul
The human role
Get back
Get back
What you lack
As a matter of fact
Give love get back

When you ride in the trunk
Despite all your spunk
You’ve still got no control
Then rock n’ roll
Can sooth the soul
The human role
Get back
Get back
What you lack
As a matter of fact
Give love get back

When you drive from up front
You’re in charge of the hunt
If things get out-of-control
Then rock n’ roll
Can sooth the soul
The human role
Get back
Get back
What you lack
As a matter of fact
Give love get back

LYRICS
As far as days go
I bask in the glow
It’s the best one I’ve got
As far as days go
I’m happy to know
Why
Why not
Happy to see
Happy to be
Really

As far as the night
I bask in delight
It’s the best one that I’ve got
As far as the night
I’m gaining insight
Why
Why not
Happy to see
Happy to be
Really

Put tomorrow’s light
Into our sites/sights
Give a new day a shot
As far as days go
On with the show
Why
Why not
Happy to see
Happy to be
Really

LYRICS
The day is as long
Just as right is to wrong —
Same as it ever was
Your will is as strong
As you choose right or wrong —
Same as it ever was
It’s up to you what you do
It’s up to you if you have a clue
[F# jam… E F F#]

The dark of night
Just as right is to wrong —
Same as it ever was
See the light
It can’t wait long
And become the cause
It’s up to us what we do
It’s up to us to have a clue
Our time’s come due

LYRICS
Said the glacier to the witch of the West
“I’m sure
I think it’s best
If we lay it to rest
I’m melting
We’re melting”
No doubt
A draught drought
Of ill repute
We draft wrought
There’s no dispute

Asked nature to the witch of the East
“You sure
The least of beasts?”
While the arrogant feast
I’m roasting
We’re roasting
No doubt
A draught drought
Of ill repute
We draft wrought
There’s no dispute

LYRICS
I’ve come to realize
It comes as no surprise
But should it?
Accumulate lies
Truth and justice dies
Now quit it
Change in the wind
Blow you back to where you’ve been
Waste of the sinned
Blow about, snuff us out
Blowin’ about n’ snuffin’ us out

I’ve come to realize
Can’t quite despite our tries
Bad habit
Accumulate trash
Hopes and dreams dashed
Argh, dam it
Change in the wind
Blow you back to where you’ve been
Waste of the sinned
Blow about, snuff us out
Blowin’ about n’ snuffin’ us out

I’ve come to realize
Deaf ears to our cries
Why should it?
Propogate4 lies
As the truth dies
Drip by drip
Rip by rip
Change in the wind
Blow you back to where you’ve been
Waste of the sinned
Blow about, snuff us out
Blowin’ about n’ snuffin’ us out

LYRICS
Are you bullish
Or the bear?
Are you foolish
Pigs beware
The change is in the air
The change is already there

Are you so proud
Wrapped up in your pride?
A fool too loud
Cracked inside
The change is in the air
The change is already there

I’ve been humbled
Brought down to my knees
Once I’ve stumbled
Seek one with the breeze
The wind of change… prepare?
Wind of change is already there
Did you hear?
It’s here!

A song about “the long-term breathing experiment” and the Air Quality Crisis of 2023, the Canadian wildfires caused 4 days in a row of Unhealthy (151 to 200 AQI) to Hazardous (301 and higher AQI) outdoor air quality across much of the United States.

Smoke from wildfires in Canada brought record-breaking air pollution to the United States this spring, creating dangerous air quality from Bismarck, N.D., to Denver and Detroit to New York City and Washington. According to a Washington Post analysis of smoke data through June 7 (2023) from Stanford University, 197 air quality monitoring stations have reported all-time high pollution from wildfires.

LYRICS
Lead with your left
And we’ll show ’em whose right
In deed, with deft
It’s brains over might
Jumping through hoops
And loopity-loops
Still the treadmill
Uselessness drill

Block with your cross
Use footwork defense
They’re at a loss
For common sense
Jumping through hoops
And loopity-loops
Still the treadmill
Uselessness drill

Strike while you’re hot
Form a knife’s edge
Give all you’ve got
Become life’s sledge
… driving wedge
Jumping to heights
Amazing insights
Still get a thrill
Freeing freewill

LYRICS
Does the light look a little funny to you
Just me… or you, too?
Well, is it hard to tell if it’s sunny… sky blue
Not hard for me
Easy to see
Your view, too?
Sepia tone space
In my face
Seems we’re prone
To displace
The human race

The light… it’s not quite right — sunny ta-do?
Yes, me… and you, too
Pour vinegar, spare the honey, cry sky blue blues
Sky blue blues
Not hard for me
Easy to see
Your view, too?
Sepia tone space
In my face
Seems we’re prone
To displace
The human race

During the Air Quality Crisis of 2023, the Canadian wildfires caused 4 days in a row of Unhealthy (151 to 200 AQI) to Hazardous (301 and higher AQI) outdoor air quality across much of the United States. The air was so thick with smoke and haze you couldn’t see the sky. Visibility was reduced to yards not miles. During modest declines in pollution, the entire out-of-doors looked like it was being viewed through “old fashioned” sepia tone filters.

Smoke from wildfires in Canada brought record-breaking air pollution to the United States this spring, creating dangerous air quality from Bismarck, N.D., to Denver and Detroit to New York City and Washington. According to a Washington Post analysis of smoke data through June 7 (2023) from Stanford University, 197 air quality monitoring stations have reported all-time high pollution from wildfires.

LYRICS
Hold on, Baby
It’s getting deep
Don’t know if I can ever sleep
Such a long night
Song for the light?
Give us foresight
Sing a song of light

Tell me how can I sleep at night
Knowing “things just ain’t right“?
Such a long night
Song for the light?
Give us foresight
Sing a song of light

Thank you, Baby
You got me thinking
Buoy our spirits… stop the sinking
Such a long night
Song for the light?
Give us foresight
Sing a song of light
Sing a song to get us through the night
A song sung to shower in delight

A song about things I can do to help save the world.

It goes in one side
But the gap is too wide
Don’t you think so
(You know?)
Fight a rising tide
We’re in for a ride
Whoa! Let’s go
(You know!)
It’s time to take off
Those kid gloves you love
Pull yourself up
By the straps of your boot
Get ready to shoot

It goes in the other side
But the gap is too wide
Don’t you think so
(You know?)
Fight a rising tide
We’re in for a ride
Whoa! Let’s go
(You know!)
It’s time to put on
Those boxing gloves for love
Fight for what’s right
Shine as a bright light
Delight in insight

It goes in both sides
But the gap is too wide
Don’t you think so
(You know?)
Fight a rising tide
We’re in for a ride
Whoa! Let’s go

Let’s rise above
A reign dance of love
Shine and shine
Throughout all time

Giggling at the first chagrin
Just can’t keep it in
Figuring if it keeps happening
My side splits open
And the clouds drift away
Shout out loud:
Beautiful day!
… What a beautiful day
Uplift A-OK

Smiling at the thought of it
Each and every bit
Hoping that I never quit
Make it habit
And the clouds drift away
Shout out loud:
Beautiful day!
… What a beautiful day
Uplift A-OK

Laughing at times gone by
The lowest low, the highest high
Doing my best to laugh n’ cry
Until I die
And the clouds drift away
Shout out loud:
Beautiful day!
… What a beautiful day
Uplift A-OK

If the sky is blue

If it comes to you
Then a phase
Knew “you do you”
Be beyond

Over understood

LYRICS
Are you glad that you’re here
That now is near
Not just fad that you hear
Since now is clear
Put on your cape
It’s time to make
Escape
Dear

If anybody can do something
Certainly someone’s you
If everybody does something
We can all pull through
Me… and you, too!
Are you glad that you’re here
That now is near
Not just fad that you hear
Since now is clear
Put on your cape
It’s time to make
Escape
Dear

If we all do something
To lessen the fall
And take lesson
Heed the call
Raise our point-of-view
We can all pull through
Me… and you, too!
Are you glad that you’re here
That now is near
Not just fad that you hear
Since now is clear
Put on your cape
It’s time to make
Escape
Dear

Do you feel like whistling into the wind
Thinking about the way things could have been?
Do you feel like humming ’bout days gone by
Accompany blues strumming… our lull-a-bye?
Not to worry about yesterday
Nor the way you had no say
It’s O.K.
I’ll find a way
I’ll feel I’m whistling with the wind
Bringing about the way
Things are headin’
