bookmark_borderThe Cross You Bear

LYRICS
The Earth starts to shake
Doesn’t know what she can take
The men start to quake
Seeing she’s going to break
We don’t know what she can take
The cross you bear
Really gets you nowhere
No where…
… not there…
Are we even aware?

The cross you bear
Really gets you nowhere
No where…
… not there…
Are we even aware?

bookmark_borderFrom Up Hear

LYRICS
From up hear
I can see far and the not so near
And then some
(Seeing with my ear)
To know frequencies high to low
Into the ear… come
Let’s go frequencies high to low
Into the ear… run

From outside
I can hear the far and wide
And then some
(Hearing without fear)
To know frequencies high to low
Into the ear… come
Let’s go frequencies high to low
Into the ear… run

From in here
The sound is crystal clear
And then some
(Flowing through my ear)
To know frequencies high to low
Into the ear… come
Let’s go frequencies high to low
Into the ear… run

bookmark_borderRight Here!

LYRICS
Not hard to tell
It’s just as well
To choose heaven
Or live in hell
You can bet anybody
Can’t beat a live body
Search to the high heavens
And back to Earth again
The voices you’ll hear
Say, “Right here!”

Easy to see
The gift to be
Is livin’ heaven
Rule destiny
You can ask anybody
Can’t beat a livin’ body
Search to the high heavens
And back down to Earth again
The voices you’ll hear
Say, “Right here!”

LYRICS
What’s it say
Can you tell
All O.K.
Going well?
It’s a sign of our times
The gallery chimes
Neuro enzymes
Falter sometimes

What’s it say
Can you tell
All O.K.
Going well?
It’s a sign of our times
The gallery chimes
There’s passion crimes
In nursery rhymes

bookmark_borderNumbered Days

LYRICS
Lost in the haze of the maze
Amazed at the clarity
Numbered days
The severity of rarity
A laser focus on us
Versus
Going down in flames
Biodegrading remains
Versus
Sustains…
Retains…
Humility
Humanity
Some sense of sanity

bookmark_borderDouble Vision

LYRICS
A ray of light enables sight
A vision of vision
Closing the schism
Turning to day what was the night
A vision of vision
Creating a prism
How we’ve come to see
The possibility
As it comes to being “be”

A strike of bright gaining insight
A vision of vision
Preconceive revision
Turning to ways what was the blight
A vision of vision
Conscious decision
How we’ve come to see
The possibility
As it comes to being “be”

LYRICS
No, I can’t forget
Won’t forget
All that you’ve done for me
I’m starting to see
The reality
Of we

with no regrets
Ours begets
Look what it brings to me

The reality
Of we

No, there’s no budget
For what we’ll get
It’s called pure luxury
I’m starting to see
The reality
Of we

LYRICS
Walk a mile or two in your shoes
Shows me how to see
Blisters forming on my eyeballs
Foreshadowing falls to be
Everybody’s bootstraps
Getting harder to reach
Obese ego’s booby traps
Obstacle we can’t breach
Everybody’s bootstraps

Walk a mile or two in my shoes
Throws me realty
Blisters forming on my heart
Send me back to start
Everybody’s bootstraps
Getting harder to reach
Everybody’s bootstraps
Obese ego’s booby traps
Everybody’s bootstraps
Obstacle we can’t breach
Everybody’s bootstraps
Weigh in the way
Bootstraps and booby traps

You’re exactly where you want to be

LYRICS
See the bottleneck is building
Soon it all will be exploding
See the pressure as it’s mounting
Up against the cork it’s popping
The road’s fork
Popped the cork

From the mouth it spews out frothing
As the guts spill forth bowels gushing
Problem’s sum/some are more than little
Put it back into the bottle
The road’s fork
Popped the cork

Hush now baby, don’t you cry
Daddy’s gonna wipe a tearful eye
Wave all the problems bye-bye

Wave all the troubles bye-bye
We’re resolving problems
Busting trouble’s bubbles
Bye-bye

LYRICS
It was obvious, I know
From the very first moment
You started to glow
Here we go
In the movement
Of your flow
Here we go
’til time stamped “meant”
In your afterglow
The very thought of touch and taste
What we’ve got…
… go not to waste
You started to glow
Here we go
In the movement
Of your flow
Here we go
’til time stamped “meant”
In your afterglow
