LYRICS
It all started at the beginning
Well, not all
Just the first thing
Then, the ball
Was rolling
A snowball in freefall
Down the side
On the slide
Of the mountain
Picking up mass
Rather fast
And, yes, indeed
Picking up speed
Mass passes masses amasses
Quantum momentum

LYRICS
Could be the last day
We see the sun this way
The seasons are changing
And so’s the sky
In the eye
And, so am I

Could be the first day
We see the sun this way
The times are changing
No need to wonder why
In the eye
And, so am I

Could be the next day
A new star will shine this way
The age is changing
Tomorrow try
In the eye
And, so am I

You are the angel
Spread your wings
I’ll be your breeze

bookmark_borderLuck Of The Draw

LYRICS
Why am I so lucky
Living life with no need for pity
Look up to the sky…
I have to wonder why

Feeling with empathy
No need for your sympathy
Look up to the sky…
I have to wonder why

Oh, Lord
Can you spare a word
Have you heard
I scream, “What does it mean?”
Look up to the sky…
I have to wonder why

Is it just me
Or can everybody see
How to be and be living free
Look up to the sky…
I have to wonder why

From now through eternity
There’s nothing better that I can see
Graciously
I thank thee
Look up to the sky…
Praise till the day I die

LYRICS
Raise your cup
Joy’s what’s up
Can you hear it
In the spirit
Can you feel it?

The shepherds herd it
And they all came ’round
The angels heard it
And they all came down

Wisemen foresaw it
So they all came to town
The heaven’s saw it
So they all shined down

Joseph and Mary
Bore more than just Merry
Giving birth
To Peace On Earth

After all
This is the Holiday Ball
Christmas Party
To see
Us into the new year
Do you hear?
Sleigh bells ringing
Children singing

All of us here

Partake in solstice
It’s a give-and-take
Partake

Now I know
How much so
I would miss
Christmas
Relieve those
Let them believe!
Embrace the race

Sends you reeling / real-ing

bookmark_borderA Star Is Born

LYRICS
A star that bright
Had never been seen at night
Let alone, they say
During the day
As if figurative
… or literal
Let it roll
Encompass all
Total
The brightest star
By far
The brightest star
And forever more
The brightest tail
The brightest tale
Shinning down
To the ground
Shine on
Human
Given from heaven
To the Earth
The birth
You are
The brightest star

ABOUT THE
The Star of Bethlehem, or Christmas Star, appears only in the nativity story of the Gospel of Matthew, where “wise men from the East” are inspired by the star to travel to Jerusalem. “For we have seen His star in the East [or at its rising] and have come to worship Him.”

There they meet King Herod of Judea, and tell him they are heading to Bethlehem to pay homage to the newborn king of the Jews. Herod calls his scribes and priests who confirm to him that a verse from the Book of Micah interpreted as a prophecy, states that the Jewish Messiah would be born in Bethlehem to the south of Jerusalem. Secretly intending to find and kill the Messiah in order to preserve his own kingship, Herod invites the wise men to return to him on their way home.

LYRICS
You never need to feel lonely
There’s always somebody near
You never need to feel lonely
Your presence is always here
Believing in believing
Goes a long way in relieving
Believing in believing
Goes a long way in achieving
For dreams to come true
The dreams first come from you

You never need to feel helpless
If you hope, there is more
You never need to be heartless
Where there’s heart, love’s in store
Believing in believing
Goes a long way in relieving
Believing in believing
Goes a long way in achieving
For dreams to come true
The dreams first come from you

LYRICS
Hush now baby don’t you cry
Gonna save us all before you die
Singing you a lullaby song
Under the star with a tail/tale so long
Close your eyes it’s time to sleep
Pray “Dear, Lord, my soul to keep”

Hush now baby don’t you cry
Hear the angels singing on high
Happy birthday! Today’s your day
Born to show us the way
Sleep tonight tomorrow’s light
Shine on insights in sight

LYRICS
Are you sleeping
Jack Frost’s creeping
Jack Frost’s nipping
Your nose knows
And, we don’t want Jack
To bite tonight

North wind’s blowing
Winter’s coming
Sky is clearing
Stars are shinning
And, we don’t want Jack
To bite tonight

Painting patterns in vain
On our window pane
Grace with lace… icing
As angels sing

LYRICS
No more coming back from war
With a battle scar
Battle scarred
Rattled n’ marred
No more raping and pillaging
Going back for more
Coming back from afar
Forget who you are?
Trying to find our way
To a pure and peaceful day

’tis the season
To find a reason
Find our way clear
To spread some cheer
’tis the season
To find a reason
Keep searching till
We spread goodwill
