LYRICS
I can see beyond the canopy
… beyond the canopy
The light shines through upon you
… through upon you
The way of the ray
The ray makes the day

I’m afraid we’re losing the shade
… losing the shade
The flora is starting to fade
… starting to fade
The way of the ray
The ray makes the day

Pollution revolution
… revolution
These “we’s” killing the trees
… killing the trees
The way of the ray
The ray makes the day

LYRICS
Life’s just a heartbeat
Life’s just a heartbeat
Life’s just a heartbeat… away
These winds blow good things our way
Fill our sails toward a brighter day
… OK?
These smiles move us miles
Never fails
Never out of style
… we say…
Life’s just a heartbeat
Life’s just a heartbeat
Life’s just a heartbeat… away

LYRICS
1, 2, 3
It it me…
Or is it easy as 1, 2, 3
Oh, pretty please
Don’t be a tease

So I plead
Give a read
My brain needs to feed
So pretty please
I’m begging on my knees

Come to know
Where to go
To satisfy my soul
Your soul is the goal
What a pity
If only to save me

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
All of civilized history
Flashed before my eyes
The rhetoric of irony
Comes as no surprise
The alarm of instant karma
For harm without concern
Same mistake… lesson learned
Too late to cry “mama”
As man threw $hit upon the fan
I shouted,
“Doesn’t anybody understand?!?!?”
All alone in a crowded home

The ref calls foul
“They’re not deaf”
But the mob rule rules
Am I the only one left
Overshadowed by fools
Last man understanding
Leaves me wondering
… leaves me wandering

Style: Rock
Chords: Em7 / G F Em / C Em; 128 BPM
Recording: original take / live digital 1-track stereo

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
So old?
Though I’ve been around the block
I can still clean clock
How old?
You’re as old as you feel
That’s the real deal
For real… for real

So cold?
Maybe it’s something to do
With being around you
How cold?
You’re as warm as you feel
That’s the real deal
For real… for real

So told
Is it any surprise
The old grow wise
How old?
You’re as old as you feel
That’s the real deal
For real… for real
