Songwriting at Marsh Creek Pennsylvania State Park

LYRICS
Don’t ever give up your will to live
Forever live a life to give

Spread the love like a contagious disease
I beg you… I’m begging… begging of you please

Don’t ever give up your will to give
Forever give to let life live

Bestow the love so that it may grow
I plead to you… plead until you know

One Foot

Posted on June 12, 2013June 13, 2013 by admin

Songwriting at Marsh Creek State Park, Pennsylvania

LYRICS
One foot in a flood
The other in a drought
At the cost of blood
One Forty-Four K naught

Chorus
In the Age of waste not, want not
We let the land of plenty rot
The last page… the last astronaut
Engage in rage… love’s forgot

We engage in rage and the love is forgot

One foot under water
The other in the grave
Worse than pigs, for sure
The way we behave

Chorus

One I for an I
Until we all die
Slowly torture
’till extinction

Chorus

This song was written after I read a government report that said over 144,000 people a year are dieing from human induced climate change. Then, I went to a favorite songwriting spot… and it was flooded higher than I’d ever seen.

Learn more about global warming.

LYRICS
Can we see through the possibilities
To get a grasp on reality
Can we agree that rationality
Will set us all free

Can we be more of the humanities
Then at last… no cruelty
Will we foresee our creativity
With generosity… giving freely

Forget Me Not Love

Posted on June 10, 2013 by admin

LYRICS
When the tunnel appears pitch black as night
When I can’t see the end… no glimmer of light
I should have remembered to pray for a rainy day
Though I pray I can say there’s never been passion neglect

I would regret if I forget
That I’m in love with you
That would be worse than anything on Earth
That would be worse than anything I could do
That would be to curse my re-birth

I’m giving my love to the heavens above
I’m giving my love to all living beings
I’m giving my love to the heavens above
I’m giving my love to Her image samplings

Forget Me Not Love.mp3

ABOUT THIS SONG

Made in the USA (West Chester, Chester County, Pennsylvania, United States of America.)

The song is about remembering to love God… and all living beings… including all those made in Her image:

Sign With Satan

Posted on June 10, 2013 by admin

LYRICS
Have you been down at the crossroads
Selling a princess for toads
Did you trade ginger for forever
Under the guise of clever?

Did you sign a deal with the devil Herself
Sacrificing self for worldly wealth
Did you sign a deal with the devil
Ough! That would be ill

Azrael

Posted on June 10, 2013 by admin

LYRICS
Grim is the creeper
Creeping ever closer
No reaper sleeper
Guts are getting grosser

Someday you’re going to die
No sense to wonder why
Better to ponder “Why I”

Chorus

Someday you’re going to die
No sense to cry

Chorus

Someday you’re going to die
No sense to sigh

Chorus

Some things I can control
If you want to control your destiny
Listen to me

I will die
Only to be born again
That’s the good news
It only gets better
The escalator to heaven
Any way, you’re right here right now

Someday you’re going to die
You, everyone else and I

Just saw another collapse
Not sure if real’s surreal
A compassionary lapse
What does it take to feel

Until…
