LYRICS
Looked in the eye…
I looked in the eye…
I looked in the eye of the abyss
The story goes something like this:
I looked in the I of the abyss
Wondering “what’s this abyss?”
What is this
Abyss
Heaven on Earth is this
This is bliss
Forgiven for my sin
Over and over and over again

LYRICS
Oh, grandchild
Look what I’ve done
Tamed the wild
Nature’s undone
May your days be merry and bright
May all your Christmases be white!

Oh, grandchild
Look what I’ve done
Winters are mild
Nature’s undone
May your days be merry and bright
Will any Christmases be white?

Oh, grandchild
What can be done
To recompile
What I’ve undone?
May your days be merry and bright
May all your Christmases be white!

LYRICS
Do you care to share
If there’s (any) love in there
Do you care to share
The love that’s there?
And we could be
A little bit happier
’cause the more we share
The more that’s there

Do you care to share
If there’s (any) love in there
Do you care to share
The love that’s there?
And we would be
A we would be
A little bit further
’cause the more we share
The more that’s there

Do you care to share
If there’s (any) love in there
Do you care to share
The love that’s there?
And we should be
In harmony
’cause the more we share
The more that’s there

LYRICS
What lengths to go to to find you
When you’re already there
Right out in front in plain view
So far, yet oh so near
Pinch me to see if I can see

What lengths to go to to find you
To see if you see me
Right out in front in plain view
So far, yet not nearly
Pinch me to see if I can see

When lengths are more behind you
When you’ve already passed
Still out in front in plain view
Before I fade to past
Pinch me to see if I can see

LYRICS
Christmas approaching
Christmas approaching
Will I remember Merry Gentlemen
Too late for Tiny Tim…
… on the way to heaven
Take a piece of earth
Or give peace on Earth?
Consider human’s worth
And the meaning of birth

Christmas approaching
Christmas approaching
Well past September
The leaves have fallen
Can’t forget again
To help the appalling
Take a piece of earth
Or give peace on Earth?
Consider human’s worth
And the meaning of birth

Christmas approaching
Christmas approaching
Feeling the part
Of the Grinch That Stole Christmas
Alas,
With added Scrooge Attitude
Take a piece of earth
Or give peace on Earth?
Consider human’s worth
And the meaning of birth

LYRICS
A real life red nosed reindeer
with Santa Claus in tow
A story I hold dear to me
The story… do you know?
On now:
Dasher and Dancer and Prancer and Vixen
Comet, Cupid, Donner, and Blitzen
But after all
Can you recall….
A real life red nosed reindeer
with Santa Claus in tow
A story I hold dear to me
The story… do you know?

bookmark_borderBe Like God

LYRICS
A smile, a nod
It’s not that odd
What a little love can do
A heart that’s true
Will comfort you
What a little love will do
No matter whatever may ail
No doubt love will (not fail) prevail
The elixir will fix her
The remedy for the malady
The melody to life’s harmony

It’s not that odd
You can be like god
What a little love can do
You’ll heal the sick
Make the dead quick
What a little love will do
No matter whatever may ail
No doubt love will (not fail) prevail
The elixir will fix her
The remedy for the malady
The melody to life’s harmony
