LYRICS
Got what we sought
Hot, hot, hot
A joke’s hoax or whatnot
Skin is burnin’
Heart is yearnin’
World keeps turnin’… ’round
Turn the temperature down

Look what we brought
Hot, hot, hot
In my trap, you’re caught
Skin is burnin’
Heart is yearnin’
World keeps turnin’… ’round
Turn the temperature down

Well, thanks a lot
Hot, hot, hot
For the lesson taught
Skin is burnin’
Heart is yearnin’
World keeps turnin’… ’round
Turn the temperature down

LYRICS
What’s the solution
To our institution
The human nation institution of pollution
What’s the solution?
Have we lost control of self-control
Say “it’s close enough for rock and roll”
Destination annihilation
Our species as others’ feces
Suck out our brains
And eat our remains
The toll of our goal

bookmark_borderDrastic Trick

LYRICS
If your best trick’s drastic
Irony of a one-trick-pony
Ain’t that funny
When it cuts ya to the quick
Chorus:
As I’m watching the fish jumping
Head scratching as I’m thinking
Which am I… fish or fly
Which will die… swallow or fry

Can I only face the surface
Or am I willing to dive deep
If we don’t outpace the human race
Ya won’t even hear a peep
(chorus)
Bold to assume both I’ll consume?
Please remain king of the food chain
Yet no matter how hard I try
My know-how’s gonna die
(chorus)
No sense to weep. No sense to cry.
Distraught knot?
Distraught not!

[The fish eats the fly
Then both are eaten by I
We’re all going to die
Would you rather be swallowed or fried?]

LYRICS
Partly cloudy
Just enough blue
Let’s the sun through
A pretty day in the city
A great day in America
The children sing, “La, la, la”
A warm breeze
Turns thoughts like these
Into life’s keys
A glimpse of you
In the rearview
Are you coming to?
A pretty day in the city
A great day in America
The children sing, “La, la, la”

bookmark_borderEnvision

LYRICS
If we envision the vision
Of what we want to do
Envision the vision is mission
To make the dream come true

If we just tune our attitude
From be flat (Bb) to see natural (C♮)
There will be enough soul food
To satisfy us all

If we just take the time
To see the reason in the rhyme
It will be natural (B♮) to see sharp (C#)
Floating like a butterfly… happy as a lark

Live it in your mind’s eye
From slow motion into overdrive
It’s easy to give ‘er a try
Delivers the reason for being alive

LYRICS
A pinprick in the night
A sliver of starlight
Then quick… with the millionth pinprick
Can’t count all the lights in sight
You know… when the horizon starts to glow
It won’t be long till dawn’s daylight
You know your star is rising
Cock’s crow… sunrise… good morning
Good news: good knews
Is coming our way
Who knows… no no’s
A-OK

LYRICS
Do you want to feel up
Well, if you uplift
Do you want to feel high
Can’t buy… give the gift
(Get by… give the gift)
Loving unconditional
Embracing all
Loving is medicinal
Embraced by all
Don’t ever give up hope in the future
Don’t ever give up faith in the kids
Do fill up your heart till it’s spillin’ over
So the “should haves” are always “glad we dids”

LYRICS
I’ve traversed over the land
Mountain to the sand
I’ve traveled over the ocean
Just to long to be home again

My manners I’ve tried to mind
Go out of my way to be kind
And all the while I find
There’s way more kinder than I’m
From: my heart. Signed
(with a kiss like this)

I can see I need more humanity
I can see the possibility
I can see my synergism with society
I can see it’s time to be what I can be

LYRICS
Yes, Mama, it’s true
You are growing old, too
That’s the value
Of loving the whole time through
My Mother, the sun is shinning bright
My Mother, can you still see the light?

Yes, Mama, bones disintegrating
Yes, Mama, most devastating
Yes, Mama, the ear won’t hear
Yes, Mama, the plight of sight

Yes, Mama, it’s true
You are growing old, too
That’s the value
Of loving the whole time through
In the end, you get what you give
Cherish every moment you live
My Mother, the sun is shinning bright
My Mother, can you still see the light?

LYRICS
This is no dream
Weather extreme
Not a matter of whether
This is extreme weather
What’s the message Mother Nature’s sending
Warning! Warning! Major storm pending
There’s a Nor’easter brewing
Climate change what are you doing?

Sunny, snowing, pouring
The old man is snoring
Finds Fake News alluring
Finds global warming boring
What’s the lesson Mother Nature’s teaching
Warning! Warning! Storm water’s breaching (surging)
Keep grasping for straws… keep reaching
No help crying, praying nor preaching

LYRICS
Come it hell or high water
We’re gonna go further
Going to lighten you load
Take the high road
Let’s slip into the backseat
Heaven’s natural treat

Com on, now, more laughter
Sure to take us further
Going to lighten our load
On the high road
Let’s slip into the backseat
Heaven’s natural treat

From now and ever after
Music cures the sick
Dance, sing and grin
And do it again
Partake in Mother Nature’s treat
It’s what we’re here for
Nature nurture… sweet
At our core
What we are here for
Purpose of us!

LYRICS
Seize the opportunity
Future — the entirety
Embrace abnormality
With Mother Nature… unity
If you’ve money to bank
Who do you have to thank
Can’t afford the risk
Better give temptation the whisk
Utilize the energy
Prize — make the most of me
Realize capability
Sanity of reality
Ready the place of serenity
Next thing comes insanity
Gotta keep curiosity
The essence of humanity

LYRICS
Get it out of the system
I guess I am
Bring it into sight (the light)
That’s right
The mountain mile high
A new beginning nigh
Turn on what I am
Let the life begin
Climbed up the mountain
I can come down again

System restoration
“I am” reincarnation
Now the mountain an’ I
Are a mile high
Nothing I love better to do
Then, enjoy the view with you

LYRICS
Before you go off half-cocked
Do you know the door is unlocked
And did you know
You can open the window
You’re free to go

Why live in a rage
After you construct your cage
And did you know
You can let your mind grow
You’re free to go

Come on! Let yourself out
Find out what the world’s about
Come on! Let yourself out
Take the highroad route
Why live in doubt?

LYRICS
I am finding
Sun is shinning
On the other side of cloud cover
Blu sky lover
We’ll recover
On the other side of cast over
Star of the day — the brightest light
Millions of stars take over the night

I am finding
Man’s unwinding
Ashes to ashes… dust to dust
Greed and lust
Justice must
On the road to balance or bust
Rises in the East, sets in the West
Then, at night North Star works best

On my way
To the day
When all’s fair on the field of play
And, I’m finding
Sun is shinning
On the other side of the clouds raining
