LYRICS
If you go out of the house today
You better not go alone
If you go out of the house today
You’re better off staying at home

The last minute shoppers will run all over you
They’ll walk all over you, too
Then, instead of your Christmas being white… it’ll be blue
Last minute shoppers
Make us into circle hoppers
Got to jump through hoops
They shop, shop, shop until they drop
The last minute shoppers run all over
What are you going to do?

LYRICS
I feel something in the innards
Around the solar plexus
Though describing it perplexes
A touch of God’s is obvious

Pray for today
Your rewards come tomorrow
Pray through the day
May your next one follow

I feel something in my heart
Some sorts of Love’s hexes
Though explaining it perplexes
A touch of God’s is obvious

Chorus

I feel something… let us sing!
Let us be Love’s chorus
Emulate what we can’t articulate
A touch of God’s is obvious

LYRICS
Faith in hope
Hope in faith
I have hope in hope
Faith that hope holds true

Within you skin’s underneath
Bare the soul that’s within you
Release the love from within the bloke
Faith that life’s not a joke
Hope that mankind learns to cope

Hoping Faithfully

Shy of pride
Fashion of compassion
String as an oak
Weaving threads into rope
Bringing peace to Earth
Faith in hope
Hope in faith

Spreading smiles and mirth
Hoping to spread the faith

Hoping Faithfully

LYRICS
At the heart of the matter
Is it for better or for worse
To water you can lead the horse
But, to think you can make him drink

At the heart of the matter
I’d rather pursue the better
Method, path or way
For now pray the body will stay
’till the mission is seen through
Behind the curtain… under the veil
When we do our due
And, all shine together

At the heart of the matter
We all shine together

bookmark_borderBlood Vessel

You don’t need to,
Share the wealth,
Just as you can’t,
Share good health.

But, you can,
Share your love,
Spread it thick,
Or, spread it thin.

The dead,
Or quick?

Rise above,
Evil kin,
Dance and move,
While you’ve the skin.
Rise above,
The lowly sin,
Flying high,
Again.

Lord, despite my moans,
Thanks for these bones.
These bones gonna rise again.
Lord, despite my wine-in’,
Thanks for this skin.
From a puddle of mud,
My blood,
And, I thank you so.
So, here I go,
Spreading it thick,
While of the quick.

I’ll be your blood vessel… flesh castle,
A Holy Grail set for sail,
Flesh castle,
Blood vessel.

bookmark_borderThe Hippie Blues

inspired by Mike Garrity, David Hawkins, Eric Laos, Jayar Bass and all the other souls at the party

I’ve seen the strangest things
These past nights
The brightest lights
Happening hues
Giving life clues

I’ve heard the strangest things
These last days
Bands on the banks
Playing the hippie blues
Catching the early rays
With a community born
From love and harmony

They’ve become kin to me
We’re starting to see
What we can do
When we care to share

Everyone sings:
We’re happy to be
In each other’s company
To catch the thrill
Of the soul spill

lyrics
If it weren’t for my skin
Holding me in
I would get out
And spill about

The receptical for my soul
Grows older by the minute
Yet, the soul doesn’t age
Keeps me young at heart
The soul doing its part
The body as its stage
Together a conduit
Unveil, reveal and dole
The life I’m living
The life I”m giving

The life I’ve been given
Is a gift from heaven
From the day of my birth
And, all my time on Earth
Life is precious
Living… delicious

If it weren’t for my skin
Holding me in
I would get out
And spill about
