LYRICS
That boy went off
Like a half-cocked gun
Better take my advice
And run, run, run
Half-cocked
Cell blocked
Half-baked
… just look at all at stake?

That girl went off
Like a half-cocked gun
Let me tell you
That ain’t no fun
Half-cocked
Cell blocked
Half-baked
… just look at all at stake?

LYRICS
Have to wonder why
Makes you want to cry
Enough time has passed by
Raised my hand. Yes. I’ll try!

On the farside… what is found?
Voices of innocence sound
May the love of life abound
(Come on! Turn your love light on!)

bookmark_borderThe Miracle of Why

LYRICS
The sky is finally clearing
The miracle of why
There is no use in fearing
Take a breath and sigh
And though it may feel strange
You know that you can change
The outcome of the story
We’re making history
The sky is finally clearing
The miracle of why
There is no use in fearing
Take a breath and sigh
(Sigh… high)
We just have to see
A little more clearly
Open our I’s
And realize

The sky is finally clearing
The miracle of why
There is no use in fearing
Take a breath and sigh
And though it may feel strange
You know that you can change
The ending of the story
We’re making history
The sky is finally clearing
The miracle of why
There is no use in fearing
Take a breath and sigh
(Sigh… high)
We just have to see
A little more clearly
Open our eyes
… realize

LYRICS
I hope to know
The meaning can’t be fleeting
I hope to show
True loves heart is beating
And maybe
We can find our way to being kind
And someday
Our kinds’ peace we will find

There’s no way
Hate will save your from your bind
And maybe
We can find our way to being kind
And someday
Our kinds’ peace we will find

LYRICS
If this is not the way things that are are suppose to be
I suppose you’ll want to be calling it destiny
The answer’s in your calendar
The way you will tell your time
The question’s whether you squander
All the time that’s “mine”

LYRICS
The way the thing goes
I don’t know… who knows
If what you’re left with
Is a bit of mammoth
After all has come and gone
You know it can’t be long
When all that’s left of you
Is a finite residue
Between now ant then
I am up to begin
With a little more carin’

… a finite carbon residue
Between now ant then
I am up to begin
With a little more carin’

LYRICS
Adrift in the day
Time is on the way
Might as well start
To sift through the weigh
Worthwhile the stay
Living from the heart

The “my way”
Takes the backseat
On holiday
Pick up the beat

LYRICS
It’s hard for me to say
Since you put it that way
Finally starting to see
The edge of reality
Be careful because
You might fall off
And the slope looks steep
Deep… into the aloof
As is… as your is was

It’s kind of hard to tell
Well… since you put it that way
Pointing out clearly
The edge of reality
Be careful because
You might fall off
And the slope looks steep
Deep… into the aloof
As is… as your is was

Best not play with fire
