LYRICS
There’s a line to your body
We could start with your neck
It feels fine going down your spine
The touch of a feather ever so lightly
Wondering what to expect
Where does the line go?
Follow the flow
Drifting past the small of your back
Where does the line go?
Follow the flow
Maybe we should start with your lips
At the ends, curving up so slightly
To unseal the kiss of a smile
Up past your ear, then veer toward the rear
Where does the line go?
Follow the flow
Who knows… if we start with your nose
Over the ledge of the chin’s edge
Through the passage of the cleavage
And, after all, drifting pass the navel
You’re drawing a fine line
I want to know
Where does it go
Where does it flow

Written and recorded on July 25, 2012 in West Chester, PA. The song is about the notion of casting your eyes on God. Or, putting a glass on God’s wall… then putting your ear to the glass and hearing what She is saying.
LYRICS
Where would we be without the hives and the trees?
Where would we be without the birds and the bees?
What would you do without the innocence of children?
What would you do without the memory of been?
Do you think you’d miss a cool rain’s kiss?
Would you be remiss… speechless?
ABOUT THE SONG
Capo 5
A (less C#, add A, add F#)
A / D
Written and recorded on July 24, 2012 at Marsh Creek State Park, Chester County, Pennsylvania. For quite sometime, I have been conducting a study on deforestation of the Earth. While writing the song, I noticed the sun shining through the leaves of the tree… like is was winter time; however, it is summer. Then, a couple of small children walked up to me and said, “Thank you guitar man.” What would the world be like without trees? What would the world be like without the innocence of children?
Written and recorded on Sunday, July 21, 2012 in West Chester, Pennsylvania. It is about the need for people to group love… one person can not do it alone.
LYRICS
Are you afraid to open your door
See people hurting like never before
Are you afraid to answer the phone
Hear the moan become a constant drone
Are you afraid to show your face
Tired of being made a public disgrace
Are you afraid to communicate
The wrong way on a one-way
Bombarded with hate, hate, thate
Then, please don’t hesitate
To call on God. Let Her mediate.
The place is here. The time is now.
Believe She’ll hear… She does somehow
God’s good grace. The mercy upon you.
Redeem your scene to heavenly… see!

LYRICS
If you should go out
There is a storm looming about
Be prepared to go under… how close is the thunder?
If you should go out
There is a storm brooding about
About an unrest in the atmosphere
If you should go out
There is a storm’s thunder shout
About to make Her way near
her intention are clear
About to make Her way here
if you should go out
There is a storm looming about
No question who is the mightiest
No question who is the frailest
Not even a test in jest
From Her foreboding i can foresee

The meaning of the song has to do with the Complete Theory of the Universe. Some consider String Theory to be the complete theory of the universe. A simplistic view would be to imagine everything as a string. What happens when you try to push a string? A more complex way to look at is through a vibration. Can you imagine everything as a vibration? What kind of vibration will you be?
String Theory states that strings propagate through space and time.
“These oscillations exist in discrete vibrational modes, the spectrum of the theory.”
“An analogy for strings’ modes of vibration is a guitar string’s production of multiple but distinct musical notes. In the analogy, different notes correspond to different particles. One difference is the guitar string exists in 3 dimensions, so that there are only two dimensions transverse to the string. Fundamental strings exist in 9 dimensions and the strings can vibrate in any direction, meaning that the spectrum of vibrational modes is much richer.”

E / G / A / E
Written and recorded on July 16, 2012 in West Chester, Pennsylvania.
“Human sacrifice was a religious practice characteristic of pre-Columbian Aztec civilization, as well as of other mesoamerican civilizations such as the Maya and the Zapotec.” “Heart-extraction was viewed as a means of liberating the istli and reuniting it with the Sun, as depicted in Codex Magliabechiano, Folio 70 (illustrated in this section), wherein a victim’s transformed heart flies Sunward on a trail of blood.” “The Aztecs would give a series of rituals to unlucky nearby tribesman to be sacrificed with an obsidian knife, and donate their blood to Acolnahuacatl, an Aztec god. When they had known he had finished his drink and he was no longer thirsty, they would end the sacrificing. This ritual would go on for a whole weekend, so as to please the gods.”
A sacrament is “a Rite in which God is uniquely active”
“A calumet is a ceremonial smoking pipe used by some Native American nations. Traditionally it has been smoked to seal a covenant or treaty, or to offer prayers in a religious ceremony.”
LYRICS
I’ve been told… I’ve been told (before I was too old)… I’ve been told… you can
Take a little love and spread it all over the world
Spread it on bread
‘neath the bedspread
Anywhere you want to
Even in your head
Take it. Give it. Take it. Spread it!
Take a little love and spread it all over the world
Spread it on the ceiling
Spread it on the floor
Spread it. Spread it. Spread it ’till they beg for more
Spread it. Spread it. Spread it ’till you’re folklore
Take a little love and spread it all over the world
Spread it on with feeling
Spread it on a S’more
Spread the warm and fuzzy. Penetrate the core!
Believe me if you spread it you’ll never be a bore
Take a little love and spread it all over the world
Come on, come on
Spread it on…
Take a little love like a baby
Not a wanna be. Not a maybe.
Take a little love and spread it all over the world
LYRICS
Tune in
Can I connect to the frequency?
(Is this correct can I connect?)
Can I see the deity
I want to talk to God
Tick, tick, tick, tock
(Of your lifetime clock)
I just got to listen
I am here and I hear!
What if God is listening to us?
If we don’t discuss the fuss
Instead we try to shush
Shh… shh… She’s listening
I’m here and I hear
Right
Here
Right here
I’m human
I can and I am
No one else has to die on a cross
No more martyrs
Hey, you
I’m here and I hear
Right
Here
Right here
A song about two-way communications with God instead of just broadcasting at Her. That is to say — pondering on prayer. Have you ever thought that “You can’t just say when you pray.”
