LYRICS
My Dear Heart, the clouds start to part
So the light can begin flooding in
Arisen in a baptism
Climb our of the chasm
And see the vision
See the vision chine
Time to shine fine

It’s your own doin’ if ya let the light in
If you don’t begin, how can it happen?
So let the light come flooding in
Arisen in a baptism
Climb our of the chasm
And see the vision
See the vision chine
Time to shine fine

Pull the shades
Open the blinds
As hate fades
Open the minds
When you open your heart, who knows what one finds?
Opening hearts and opening minds

LYRICS
You must be kidding me
Can’t believe the things I see
The relativity
Of spacetime gravity

It’s hard to believe
It’s gettin’ heavy
Damn it… the mass of our planet
Causing our morals to plummet

Another sister or brother
Turning on one another
Doesn’t anyone bother?
Make an effort to discover

Protesters protesting protesters
Like prehistoric raptors
Preaching like Southern pastors
More like rat bastards

Safari
On the Rastafari safari
Rastafari!

Some sort-of spiritual endeavor
That’s going to last for ever and ever
A spiritual endeavor
That’s going to last for ever
Gonna kill you with love
Rastafari safari

Rastafari safari
Rastafarian reptilian
A spiritual endeavor
There’s no responsibility for me
No! Not ever
Rastafari
Do you know why they call it dread
Dread not
Dread locked
Dread not
Lively up yourself don’t be no dread now

Hey, Bungalow Bill what did you kill?

LYRICS
Which came first the chicken or the egg
What’s the price we pay? Arm or leg?

How could the chicken cross the road
If it didn’t proceed
Why would a chicken cross the road
How would we ever know

Which came first the chicken or the egg
What’s the price we pay? Arm or leg?

I don’t get the yoke
But that’s the way the egg rolls
I don’t get the yoke

Which came first the chicken or the egg
What’s the price we pay? Arm or leg?

How much wood would a woodchuck chuck
Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers
Why did the chicken cross the road
Oh, why
Did Chicken Little fear a falling sky
Which came first the chicken or the egg
What’s the price we pay? Arm or leg?

I tell ya it’s cut throat
Chances are remote
Why did the chicken cross the road
Knowledge overload
Or knowledge underlaod

LYRICS
The End is coming
The only thing to fear is how near

The End is coming
There is no sense in running
The only thing to fear is how near

From the moment you’re born
You’re soon to learn
The only for certain
Is that I am
Marching
To some different drumming
We’re all marching
Toward the end that’s coming

Oh, my, my
We’re all gonna die
The End is coming
Only need fear how near

The only clarity
When it comes to certainty
Is the end is coming
So the only thing to fear is how near
The older you get the more it becomes clear
The only thing to fear is how near

LYRICS
Let your mind go wild
Forget the rage in the cage
Let’s your mind go wild
Forget the rage. Get out of your cage.
Partake
For goodness sake
Get into it
Into intuition

Let your mind go wild
If the mild is your style
If not, why not untangle that knot
And crank it up
Just a little bit

Be kind with your mind
It’s time to let your mind go wild
For a while
Let your mind be kind
Let your mind go wild
If you want, put your rage in a cage
But, let your mind find out
Let you mind out

Like a rabbit in a hutch
Might have the touch
Turn it up a bit, rabbit

LYRICS
[Pop!]

The bubbles rise
They float…
To the top
Then, they pop!
When they get there
They’re at home in the air
The bubbles rise
They float…
To the top
Then, they pop!

Bubbling

Bubbling toward the surface
And, suffice to say
They take on a new birth
In the atmosphere of Earth
The bubbles float…
To the top
Then, they pop!

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Does anybody share the care
Is anybody there
Do you care to share

Does anybody anywhere share the care
Please let me know you’re out there

Do you have a concern about the level of care
That you can see anyone anywhere share
Or is it just all wrapped up in selfish
Selfish like some sort-of shellfish
The happy clam that I am

Don’t you think it would be fair
If we all learned to share the care
Don’t you think it would be alright
If we all gained some insight
Saw the light
See the light
Be the light
“We” the light

You Can Feel.mp3

LYRICS
I heard on Christmas Day you can feel
It’s the real deal
I heard on Christmas Day you can feel
It’s the real deal

The act of kindness comes upon us
And for at least one day
We find a way
To be kind
It comes to mind
On Christmas Day

I heard on Christmas Day you can feel
It’s the real deal

You can see humanity
See a human being humane
Slightly humane
It doesn’t just remain slightly
You can see humanity spreading growing like a weed
And, we’d appreciate if at least on Christmas Day
You’d find a way to say
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year

On Christmas Day
I heard ’em say
I know it’s true
On Christmas Day for me and you
You can feel
It’s the real deal

I heard on Christmas Day you can feel
It’s the real deal

LYRICS
This is a soundcheck… for a reggae sort-a thing… that will be extemporaneous

We’ve made it this far
Rather combine forces and become a star
We’ve made it this far

The I in the I
And the you in you, too
We…
We can determine destiny

Or, so they say

We’ve made it this far

Combine become a star

Become the star you know you are

We’ve made it this far

Heartfelt moment
Heartfelt moment

When you sing Christmas carols in your native tongue
I feel the Earth is as one
Heartfelt moment
It’s a heartfelt moment
First, my spirit went silent
Then, it skipped a beat
When you throw out conceit…
When you throw out defeat…
Heartfelt moment

Wait a minute
No, don’t wait a minute
I feel your spirit
Not only can I hear it
I feel it
Deep within
Heartfelt moment

LYRICS
Orientation deprivation
This end up
This end down
Turn around
Fragile! Handle with care
Orientation deprivation

This end up
This end down
Whatever you do don’t spin it round and round and round
Are you aware
Handle with care
Beware
Handle with care

Orientation deprivation

In a situation
You don’t know which way is up
How can you lift your cup
If you don’t know which way is up
How can you raise your cup
If you don’t know which way is up?

Orientation deprivation
You don’t know which way is up
Orientation deprivation
You don’t know which way is down
Can’t seem to look around
A nation of orientation deprivation
What’s in your head
Something embedded
More than just a taint of faint
Orientation deprivation

I don’t know which way is up
How can I lift my cup
Raise my glass in some kind of toast
To say you’re the most
How can I lift my cup
If I don’t know which way is up?

Boy! Boy, what are you doing over there?
Please move out of the light so we can see delight

Boy, what are you doing over there
Are you aware…
You’re standing in the light

Are you aware when you stand right there
You make a better door than window
Ya know it’s hard to see in your shadow

Boy, what are you doing over there?
Are you aware…
You cast a shadow. You know?
And, I can’t see clearly
Beyond a shadow of a doubt
I found out
Standing in your shadow

Boy, what are you doing over there
You’re casting a shadow on what we know
Ya know?
So, please, please, please if you might move so slight
To the left or the right
Let in the light
