LYRICS
Upon him, I cast my eyes
What a surprise
Mesmerized

I realize
The power of the spirit
Do not fear it
I want to endear it

Rationalized
Heaven on Earth realized
Immortalized
Heaven on Earth realized

There’s light at the end…
There’s light at the end…
There’s light at the end of the tunnel

Lord, deliver us from this hell hole

Gloria
Gloria hysteria

Hallelujah, the hell hole is over

You brought light into the world
When “The End” was foretold
Turning meek into bold
Bringing warmth from the cold
Wanting the love to unfold

Here’s a Christmas ditty
Hopefully, something pretty
A gift to you and all your kin

From the country to the city
The dense to the witty
May goodwill come back to you again and again

Listen to the angels sing

Why do we countdown on New Year’s Eve?
When I think of time, it’s hard to perceive
10,9,8….
Wait!
How much time between now and the end of 13

2013 364 23 59 50, 51, 52….

Know what I mean?

Burst onto the scene
The New Year’s Queen

The first moment
Of the first minute
In a new time rhyme

LYRICS
Ho, ho, ho, hallelujah
Ho, ho, ho, hallelujah
Do you know
How does the saying go?

Recipe for a gingerbread house
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse
Do you know
How does the saying go?

Stockings hung by the chimney with care
Something about roasting chestnuts there
Do you know
How does the saying go?

Dashing… ore the fields we go
Don’t forget the mistletoe
Do you know
How does the saying go?

We three kings of orient are
Do you see what I see… follow the star
Do you know
How does the saying go?
Rudolph with your nose so bright
With a tail… a tail as long as a kite
Do you know
How does the saying go?
Oh, holy night
May all your Christmases be white
Do you know
How does the saying go?

Parting of the seas disease
Do you think you can command God
You’re the boss and She’s on the job?

Oh please,
Parting of the seas disease
Are you sure
You wanna F&$% with Mother nature?

Are you really that special
That you’re the cure-all (for all the ill that ails)
Or just a spiritual sleaze
With parting of the seas disease

LYRICS
What are you waiting for?
If you wait much more
They’ll likely realize
You’ll lose the element of surprise

What are you waiting for?
If you wait much more
You’ll have missed the moment to seize
So, pleeeeeeeeeease

What are you waiting for?
If you wait much more
An activist
Will have turned pacifist
Lack of action
Due to procrastination

LYRICS
Headed out
On a slippery slope
No doubt,
Going to need some hope

Less I look the dope
And, slide where there’s nowhere to hide
Get a hold… cope?
I already tried

Whether it’s decline or incline
I’m inclined
To decline
An invitation to devastation

Holding on tight
With all our might
Hold on long enough
No matter how tough
Everything will be alright

LYRICS
The whiteness of the snow, ya know…
Tends to cover the blemish of disaster
Makes one less selfish with the laughter

Are you better off living life
Letting your hourglass sand sieve
Or, giving all you can give

Give of your soul
I want to hear your spirit
Let me hear it
Give of your sole
I want to here your spirit
Come on, here it!

In the sifting sands of man
Doing the best that you can

Forget being a stranger in a distant land
Bring forth your love for all to understand

The cover of the snow, ya know
Let’s the Earth’s spirit grow with glow

LYRICS
The ground underneath my feet
Crunches

If crutches are in your clutches
Won’t help like they could
When watching people clasping
Please help like we should

Instructed to be productive
And, with thy gifts give
Productive to the instructed
Long let quality live
