December Freeze

Posted on December 6, 2013 by admin

LYRICS
Icicles hanging from the trees
Results of a December freeze
Snowflakes dancing in the breeze
An opportunity for us to seize

What do you say… let’s seize the day

Stockings hanging from the mantel
Christmas ornaments… be extra gentle
A tree topped with an archangel
An opportunity for the gentile

Let it be said… love we all spread

What do you say… let’s seize the day
Like kids on a snowday… let’s play

King With No Name

King With No Name.mp3

LYRICS
Never sat upon a throne
Never wore a crown
Never called himself King
That’s just the thing

I never called myself King Of The Jew
How about you?

And, how would you
Like a crown of thorn
On your throne
Crucifixion
Soul extinction?
At least not a lone
(He was then crucified and hung between two convicted thieves.)

Hung out to dry
Hung out to die
Hung out
Without doubt

“After being flogged, Jesus was mocked by Roman soldiers as the “King of the Jews”, clothed in a purple robe, crowned with thorns, beaten and spat on. Jesus then had to make his way to the place of his crucifixion.”

He was then crucified and hung between two convicted thieves.

Vision Collision.mp3

LYRICS
A challenge
To a scrimmage
Can you create the image
In your mind’s eye
Of utopia… ahhhhh….
For you… and I, too, will try

Imagine a collision
Of both our visions
A love explosion
At last, solution

Peace and love and harmony
Breaking out everywhere
Beautiful to see
Please let it be
May we be aware
(Beware if you’re not aware)
May we be aware

LYRICS
Oh hear ye merry gentlemen
Oh here ye merry gentlemen
Oh hear ye ladies and gents
Here’s the message… heaven sent

The situation of my evolution is in a horrible state
The civics of our economics decays at an unbelievable rate
Now, the homeless on the street
Are the friends that I meet

Merry Christmas

Sometimes the only time to eat
Salvation Army, church or dumpster treat

Who is the most famous Jew
To you?
Da ya think he observed Passover and Hanukkah
Hugh, do ya?

Easter… Passover
Christmas lights…
Celebration
8 days and nights

Imagine…
Graven image
Wrapped and swaddling
Beautiful or disgusting

Gift Shopping.mp3

LYRICS
Our birth
Is God’s gift to the Earth
What are you going to do
About your Christmas shopping, too?

It’s not odd
Getting God
A gift
It’s a matter of if

Instead of just for Lent
I was thinking of a lifetime servant
That would be
Me
For free

God,
Your present is my present
Which I hope to endure into the future
Your gift is a man
Her I am
A man, Amen

Don’t you love this time of year
There’s just enough nip in the air
To see the night sky clear

Star bright
About the first Christmas night

Don’t you love this time of year
When goodwill fills the air
Heart and soul can see clear

Xmas Mojo / Christmas Tradition

Posted on November 22, 2013November 22, 2013 by admin

Christmas Tradition.mp3

LYRICS
Born into the body of a human
Only to learn about sufferin’
Causing the Prince Of Peace to cease
Until the 3rd Day re-release

Get your mojo cross mess on
Remembering your Christmas tradition

He came upon a midnight clear
To eliminate hate, greed and fear
To illuminate compassion and love
With passion and grace from above

Get your mojo cross mess on
Remembering your Christmas tradition

Put my finger in the hole of the nail
Feeling woozy as my skin turns pale
How on Earth did humankind fail
Letting crucifixion be our tale

Get your mojo cross mess on
Remembering your Christmas tradition

LYRICS
The days grew shorter
The nights grew longer
Winter Solstice
Is upon us

Cheer for that Christmas cheer
Cheer for a brand new year

Anticipation heightened
Burden of the load lightened
Goodwill is here (hear)
As Christmas draws near

Cheer for that Christmas cheer
Cheer for a brand new year

The very best present
Is being in your presence
The very best gift
Your spirit does uplift

Cheer for that Christmas cheer
Cheer for a brand new year

Why Not.mp3

LYRICS
As you go about your busy day
As you scurry along your way
As you fret over the bills to pay
Don’t forget to take the time and say

Hey! Hey! Why not
Pick up the pieces they forgot
Hey! Hey! Why not
Pick up the people they forgot

Hey you, the puzzle’s complete
Everyone on the planet can eat

Chorus

You too can do a humane feat
And have heaven as a treat

Come And Get It!

Posted on November 15, 2013 by admin

Come And Get It.mp3

LYRICS
On our way to Grandmother’s house
Where Mom lived ‘fore she became a Brouse
Philadelphia’s Thanksgiving Day Parade
Then, turkey dinner all homemade

With mashed potatoes and gravy
All the condiments… so savory
A cornucopia of smells swell
To the point you can tell —

Supper’s ready!
Come and get it!
There’s plenty
To God’s credit

Once the stores are open again
Our first opportunity, we begin
Shopping for toys like we’ve never seen
Living in a Nutcracker dream scheme scene

Telescope, microscope, drums and guns
The fun let in… imagination runs
I suppose it matters in every way
The giving… the loving… on Christmas Day

Home For Christmas.mp3

LYRICS
If you’re feeling all alone at Christmas
Feelings for all the people you miss
Please remember you’re never alone
Wherever you are… you’re at home

Please remember you’re never alone

If you’re feeling blue… another year anew
Feeling life is slipping away… you’re blue
Please remember how much you’re loved
Embrace now so there’s no regret of “could’ve”

Breath in deep the Christmas spirit
Not just today but all year… keep near it
Please remember wherever you roam
Where ever… you’re never alone
