LYRICS
It started off
Off-the-cuff
Right from the get-go
Into the we’ll / will know
Off of the starting line
Now the clock is ticking
There goes time
Can the vibe be clicking
On the incline

Let’s get it on
On the upon
Right from the let go
Into the we’ll / will know
Into the all is fine
Now the clock is ticking
There goes time
Can the vibe be clicking
On the incline

LYRICS
Yeah, straight up on the rocks
Give way
A new day
Roll forward all the clocks
Out of the blue
Something new
Get to say
A knew way
Given: the key unlocks

Smooth, smooth on the edges
Rough, wedges and sledges
Scaling the ledges

Off, off on a mission
Tuning into to listen
Accepting the vision

Tuning the dial… while…
In a scanning style

LYRICS
It’s storming out?
(Oh, is that what that’s all about?)
That’s a storm…
Hope she’s not comin’ in
Who knows where she’s been?
Nooo… not again
Pounding, pounding
At the door… no more!
The circumstance for acceptance
Is at hand
But do I/we understand?

LYRICS
The water flows down and down
’til lower than all the ground
Down, down, down
Until it can see sea level
Gravity’s devil
Erosion from the friction
The detail in gravity’s direction

The water flows down and down
’til lower than all the ground
Down, down, down
Find ourselves up to our I’s
In landslides
Before our eyes in “do or dies”
With no hides

LYRICS
Here’s a little holiday feast
For all those with the least (ceased)
If you’re already there
We’ve saved you a chair

Here’s a little holiday feast
We all slayed the beast (leashed)
If you’re already there
We’ve saved you a chair

Here’s a little holiday feast
At least the beast is peaced
Here’s a little holiday feast
At least the beast is pieced
Thanks to our savior
He’s yours to savor

Original “Three Kings of Orient” written by John Henry Hopkins, Jr.

Em                B7     Em
We three kings of Orient are 
Em               B7        Em
Bearing gifts we traverse afar.
Em        D         G
Field and fountain, moor and mountain, 
Am        Em B7  Em
Following yonder star. 
D D7 G               C       G
Oh,  star of wonder, star of night, 
                C      G
Star with royal beauty bright, 
Em       D        C        D
Westward leading, still proceeding, 
G               C       G
Guide us to thy perfect Light. 

Born a king on Bethlehem's plain, 
Gold I bring to crown Him again, 
King forever, ceasing never 
Over us all to reign.
Oh,  star of wonder, star of night, 
Star with royal beauty bright, 
Westward leading, still proceeding, 
Guide us to thy perfect Light. 

Frankincense to offer have I. 
Incense owns a Deity nigh. 
Prayer and praising all men raising, 
Worship Him, God on high.
Oh,  star of wonder, star of night, 
Star with royal beauty bright, 
Westward leading, still proceeding, 
Guide us to thy perfect Light. 

Myrrh is mine: it's bitter perfume 
Breaths a life of gathering gloom. 
Sorrowing, sighing, bleeding dying, 
Sealed in the stone-cold tomb.
Oh,  star of wonder, star of night, 
Star with royal beauty bright, 
Westward leading, still proceeding, 
Guide us to thy perfect Light.

LYRICS
Can I find a word to rhyme
With Christmas time?
A kind of word to hold dear
Throughout the year
No matter how the snow may pile
The kind of word to make you smile
Bursting out in that Christmas cheer
Bringing those far in to hear / here

Can I find a word to rhyme
With Christmas time?
A kind of word to hold dear
Throughout the year
Sending a word in from above
Saying the word — the word is love
Sending peace in the form of a dove
Saying the word — the word is love

Can I find a word to rhyme
With Christmas time?
Sending a word in from above
Saying the word — the word is love

If things didn’t turn out exactly
The way you thought it’d be
It probably doesn’t matter much
If bittersweet were to be your destiny

When things turn out exactly the way
You dreamed they’d be
The reality matters much
As you fulfill
What will be destiny

We dreamed we’d be
The reality matters much

What will be destiny
Yeah, create destiny
As we create destiny
The destiny of humanity

What is the cost of pain and suffering
Does anyone really know?
What is the price for peace and comforting
That’s where I want to go
Show me the way

Hey pundit, do you know?
What is the price of peace and tranquility

LYRICS
Like a long time ago
The planets align
For a Christmas Star
This time do we know
Is it a sign
Have we gone to far?
Like a long time ago
You’d think by now we’d know

Like a long time ago
Look to the sky
To answer why
This time recognize
For direction to go
Look to the skies
Like a long time ago
You’d think by now we’d know

ABOUT THE SONG

Jupiter and Saturn will line up on Dec. 21, so close together that they’ll appear as one bright shining star. Many are referring to it as the “Christmas Star.” It’s the closest the two planets have appeared together in about 800 years, and won’t occur again until 2080.

This conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn may have an even closer tie to the Biblical story of the birth of Jesus Christ than its occurrence so close to Christmas this year. As noted by Johannes Kepler in the 17th century, a similar conjunction occurred in 7 BCE and could be the astronomical origin of the Star of Bethlehem that guided the wise men. — astronomy. com

The video contains pictures of the Christmas Star from around the world.

LYRICS
From an external point-of-view
I’m a lot like you
You’ve a spine
Just like mine
You’ve two eyes
I do, too

From a third person’s point-of-view
I’m a lot like you
Walk upright
In the light
Then we might
Sleep all night

An independent point-of-view
Points out I’m a lot like you
Opposing thumb
…teeth and gum
Size of brain
Near the same
From an external point-of-view
I’m a lot like you

LYRICS
What a relief
Though rather brief
A relief… a brief relief
Could I bother you
For two, too?
Another relief would do
A bit of a respite
A relief habit
Confirmed my belief
In relief

What a relief
Though rather brief
A relief, nonetheless
No matter how frivolous
A relief
Though rather brief
A relief
