LYRICS
All filled up with gumption
Humane presumption

Well then give it a go
Let the energy flow

Do unto others?
Betrayed by Brothers
Can’t claim they don’t know
Jihad’s God’s foe

The Bible… Torah, too
And, again in the Quran
Thou shalt not kill
Another’s freewill
[Under direct order not to murder]

LYRICS
It’s not the size that matters
Which weighs (ways) more
… a pound of bricks or feathers
It’s not the gift but the thought that counts
Enjoy the thrift as the cost mounts

Waste not want not before it’s bought
Live in peace… no gore
From battles fought
It’s not the gift but the thought that counts
Enjoy the thrift as the cost mounts

It’s not hat size that matters
When all thoughts
… rip, torn… left in tatters
It’s not the gift but the thought that counts
Enjoy the thrift as the cost mounts

Your best is best regardless of the rest
When you give your all
We’re less likely to fall
It’s not the gift but the thought that counts
Enjoy the thrift as the cost mounts

ABOUT THE SONG
Chords – Capo 6
A G
A Em
C A

Inspired by the ice bucket challenge. When a friend challenged me to the “ice bucket challenge”, I had mixed feelings. Initially, I was against the way this marketing ploy unfolded. On the other hand, my cousin died shortly after being diagnosed with ALS. Awareness is something I can support. So, I started thinking, “it’s the thought that counts… size doesn’t matter.” Then, I found the smallest bucket I could find, filled it with a cup of water and an ice cube.

LYRICS
Standing in the ocean
Watching the tide roll out
I start to thinking
My feet are sinking
I begin figgerin’
What life’s about

Standing in the ocean
Watching the tide roll in
As I get a notion
My body’s in motion
The spirit’s en route
Life’s precious… no doubt

As you believe in Our
We’ll gain in power
By the hour

As love reaches infinite
We’ll grow passionate
By the minute

I believe! I reckon…
Love becomes the trend
By the second

Can you see… can you see the light at the end of the tunnel
Can it be… can it be we might solve our puzzle
1,2,3… 1,2,3 hang-on tight… use all our muscle

Repeat verses

Land or sea… land or sea or flight
Unite… couple
Can you see… can you see the light at the end of the tunnel
Can it be… can it be we might solve our puzzle

A golden synergy

Praise God for eternity… or, at least relativity?

ABOUT THE SONG
Capo 2

G add D, Bb, F
G / A / D / G

Written and recorded on September 16, 2012 in West Chester, PA. It is about people that would aid humanity if they could; however, oppression is in the way.

Oppression is the exercise of authority or power in a burdensome, cruel, or unjust manner.  It can also be defined as an act or instance of oppressing, the state of being oppressed, and the feeling of being heavily burdened, mentally or physically, by troubles, adverse conditions, and anxiety.

Puttin’ on the new shoes tonight
Steppin’ on the red carpet’s alright
Wish I may, wish I might
Make that silver screen shine bright

My Dear
World premiere
Making moving pictures
Movie star’s in my future
Wish I may, wish I might
Make that silver screen shine bright

Mirror, mirror, on the wall
First star I see tonight
Wish I may, wish I might
Make that silver screen shine bright

Puttin’ on the new dress — formal ball
Everybody’s trying to call
[Have my agent take their name
While I try n’ stay sane]

Red carpet and silver screen
For my motion picture’s opening scene
Wish I may, wish I might
Make that silver screen shine bright

Add pinky high A

Spewing goo
Hatred anew
Is that what I want to do?

Don’t become that
Which I despise
Less sober
More Wise
Don’t become that
Which I despise

I try to realize
When it’s all over
… rather remain
Love and the same

LYRICS
How do you know that you’re even alive?
Open your eyes
Reach for the skies
And, do more than just trying to survive
Let’s get together and socially thrive

How do you know that you’re even alive?

If you open eyes and reach the skies
No telling lies
No hypocrite
That’s how we’ll know we’re alive
We can take the life and dive
Go ahead and give it a try
You can learn to fly
Spread your wings
Take in things
Now, you’re alive
