LYRICS
If you start to doubt
Know that help is on its way
If you feel left out
Know you’ll see a better day

Chorus
We all break-out in the dance of life
Play guitar, fiddle or fife
We all break out in the dance of life
Love passes… like butter and a hot knife

Don’t part with devout
It really helps if you pray
Don’t feel you’re shut-out
Love will find you… there’s a way

Chorus

LYRICS
Do you think we’re living…
Living like we’re living on a Carnival cruise?
Situation
Lose – Lose – Lose

Feces falling floor to floor
Garbage piling toward the sky
Can’t stand living with ourselves. No more!
My, oh, my

Putrid smell you do abhor
Brings a tear makes you cry
Can’t stand living with ourselves any more
Living like a monkey

Did we embark on Noah’s Ark…
Or, did we ride to the darkside…
On a Carnival cruise

ABOUT THE SONG

Daniel — Vocals, Guitar, Keyboards

A 6-track stereo extemporaneous recording made in Chester County, Pennsylvania, United States of America. This song was inspired by the Carnival Cruise ship “Triumph”. The ship became stranded at sea for five days. The passengers complained about the poop running down the walls and living with the smell of their own garbage. It made me think about how the planet is like a giant cruise ship. Can we live with ourselves? Take the sustainability challenge.

LYRICS
While attached to your baggage
Might as well find a home
While attached to your baggage
Looking for happiness… you’ll roam
’till the baggage fades away
There won’t be an easy way

As long as you carry the baggage
It won’t leave you alone
As long as you carry the baggage
You’ll never be at home

As the baggage fades away
You’ll find a new day
You’ll find the new day

Suffering The Fools Pain.mp3

LYRICS

Hung like a picture on the wall
She grabbed me by the balls
Flung into a den of lions
In front of the hypocrites and liars
In the lair
In the glare
I fell to my knees
Beggin’ please, please, please

I’ve been framed
I’ve been blamed
But, I bare no shame
Smear my name
I’ve been framed
May never be the same
Suffering the fool’s pain

CHORDS — Dm

ABOUT THE SONG
Written and recorded at the Out In The Woods studios in West Conshohocken, Pennsylvania. At the begging of the track, you can hear Rick asking for the vocals to be sung with a country “squirrel s&#!” style.

LYRICS
What will be your mark
What will be your relevance
Bringing people from the dark
While you have a presence

Wearing a white hat
Into mortal combat
None of us are getting out alive

What will be your mark
What will be your relevance
Bringing people from the dark
While you have a presence

Baring the attack
There’s no need to fight back
Mirrors of God survive
Mirrors of God alive

LYRICS
What’s your take on the take?
What do you make
Of your perspective?

Going reflective….

What’s your attitude on attitude
When it comes to people who are rude
Well, don’t get stuck in that rut
Come on! Give it from the gut

Hey! Hey! Hey!
We’re over half-way
Hey! Hey! Hey!
More than half of the way

’till our cup runneth over
’till our glass is full
’till there is no null… no, no null at all

Hey! Hey! Hey!
We’re over half-way
Hey! Hey! Hey!
More than half of the way

Do you have longitude
Do you have latitude
Well, don’t get stuck in that rut
(Adjusted attitude)
Come on! Give it from the gut

Hey! Hey! Hey!
We’re over half-way
Hey! Hey! Hey!
More than half of the way

LYRICS
Is the wind wailing on me at the speed of light?
Or, is it me traveling at that rate of speed?
If it’s me,
At what speed
Are the headlights traveling
In front of me?

Is the light twice as bright?
Will relativity be forced to concede?
Lord, that amount of light will have to help us see
Hear the blind humanity’s plea!

Hear the blind humanity’s plea, please?

Her Eyes Upon Me.mp3

LYRICS
Is she looking at me?

As she walks in the door
Across the dance floor
Beaming from ear-to-ear
With the smile upon her face
Drawing ever near
Wrapping arms around me in an embrace

Is she looking at me?

She looks me in the eye
Then, I know
She looks I in the eye
Then, I knew
Oh, yeah! She’s looking at me

It feels oh so good
The way she wraps her arms around me
It’s a glimpse of heaven I see

Ahhh… she’s looking at me

When you listen to the music
It’s therapeutic
Clearing the way

With our love
We can solve
With our love
We can solve what is us

The dilemma that is us

All the fuss

All the fuss we created
Caused us to be dated
But, with our love
We can solve the dilemma that is us

It’s not to late for us to create
When we get together with a love forever
We can solve the dilemma that is us
We can solve the dilemma that’s our mess

Here we go

Here we go
Into the know
Gather together
Hopefully, this time the bond… forever

Here we go

And, then so
We can know
We can know what it means be
We can know what it means see
We can know what it how it feels
We can know what it means to be real

Here we go

Enough of the to and fro
Here we go

We can have more with less

Here we go

LYRICS
My oh my
You think you can make that pig fly

Fat chance
If you think you can get that pig to dance

You might as well be writing some paperback romance
’cause you’re dreaming
In case you didn’t get it
You’re having a nightmare
And, I can only see one way clear —
Wake up!

There’s no way you will remain
Unless you pray for an angelic refrain

Order in the court
This ain’t no tort

Order
Order in the court
This is criminal
It ain’t no tort

Do you not understand
The serious nature
Of our accusations
Can’t you see that in a straight jacket
You have limited options

C,c,c,c,c, control

Order in the court
This is criminal
It ain’t no tort

There is no chance
You will get out of this unscathed
There is very, very little chance
You’ll be saved

In what do you believe

C,c,c,c, control
It’s natural
You’re out of control
