LYRICS
Are you saving all your loving for a rainy day
Well, hey, hey, hey, do you know what they say
Give it away! Keep the clouds at bay!
Let your love shine, shine away
Did you say that you pray for deliverance day
Well, hey, hey, hey, did you hear what they say
Get your heaven on earth during this birth
Let your love shine, shine away
I believe the more you give the more you receive
And, hey, hey, hey, be the one to say
Live our lives full of mirth for what it’s worth
Let your love shine, shine away

LYRICS
When I hear them say there is no doubt
Yet, I see a puzzle piece (they’ve) left out
I struggle through the muddle
Baffled n’ puzzled
Gotta make the hole whole
When I hear them say there is no doubt
Yet, it’s plain to see… they dunno what they’re about
When I hear them say there is no doubt
It should make ya scream… it should make ya shout

LYRICS
I’d love to save the world
Bring happiness to every kid
Though the statements bold
I’d love to save… I’d love to save…
Chorus
I’d love to save the world
So one day our history’s told
I’d love to save the world
So one day our history’s heard
Let love be unfurled
Spilling over ’till hatred’s rid
The saying never gets old
I’d love to save… I’d love to save…
Chorus
With humanity behave
From the cradle to our grave
The saying never gets old
I’d love to save… I’d love to save…

LYRICS
While under the attack of a hawk
I heard a bluejay say, “Squawk!”
As I looked around…
I found… something fishy… wishy-washy
The mirage of camouflage
All the while your style
Appearing perched on the edge of the ledge
Like you might jump at any moment
But, wait a minute!
You mean…
All the while before a blue-screen
I mean
All the while before a green-screen?
The mirage of camouflage
Gonna call your bluff
On crying “wolf”
Gonna chill your marrow
When you discover you’re really in peril
You’ve become sterile
So much for tomorrow

ABOUT THE SONG

Written and recorded live along the Brandywine Creek between Lenape and Chadds Ford, Chester County, Pennsylvania, USA. It was inspired by the wildlife and the imminent danger that humans present (in particular due to global warming.) There was a sucker fish lying on the bottom with camouflage that made it look like shadows.

LYRICS
Look what you’ve done to me
Walking all over my back
Look what you’ve done to me
Spit in my face and a whack
I’ve been here a long, long time
Before any “me, mine or I’m”
Likely I will reside
After your self-genocide
The rise of the human demise
‘less you realize this ain’t no surprise
Look what you’ve done to me
Create pollution as you please
Look what you’ve done to me
Spread disease as you please
Mother Earth will prevail
Even if you insist to fail

Dance on top of the flowers
Skating over the surface
Soaking in all the hours
With a soul and a face
Take in a love embrace
The sun comes through the showers
Lighting the Earth’s surface
Soaking in all the our’s
Adding soul to the face
Take in a love embrace
Take-in a love embrace
Taking a love embrace

LYRICS
The Delaware is running high
Thanks to the banks
For keeping us dry
While on the other side, the well runs dry
While where the well runs dry they cry,
“Is salvation hiding nearby?”
Flanks of the ranks
Make trying a try
While on the other side, Fat Cats — big, fat & wide

LYRICS
Fool me one time
Fool me two times
Fool me three times and I’ll have to think twice
* I’m starting to think
That won’t happen tonight
(If that’s alright?)
Fool me one time
Fool me two times
Fool me three times and I’ll have to think twice
*
Fool me one time
Fool me twice
And I’m done throwing dice
*
Fool me one time
Then do it again
It’s time for foreboding to begin
… just a warning… the dog does bite

LYRICS
If the words don’t come right to me
Guess I’ll just have to see
What’ll be
Children of the sun
Coming out to have some fun
When children start dancing merrily
Guess I’m considered
Lucky
Children of the sun
Coming out to have some fun
Last thing I remember, I was writing a song
Then you came along… the smile on your face lit up the place
Now I forget what is going on
Ohhhhhh, la, la, la
Ohhhhhh, yeah
Children of the sun
Coming out to have some fun
ABOUT THIS SONG
This song was written while sitting on the corner of High and Market Streets in West Chester, PA. It was the first nice day of Spring, so I wanted to get out in the sun. I didn’t have lyrics in mind. Instead, I looked around. Here is what I found.

LYRICS
When are you coming home?
It’s been so long
Since we’ve stood strong
Out on your own
Family juggle
Yet, all alone
Struggle
When are you coming home?
I’ve been away
One or too to many day
Time to find my way
Back home to stay
Not crawling
Hovering
In our comfort zone
Oh, Lord, I’m coming home!

LYRICS
If you think
Everything is going fine
Maybe it’s time
You look around
Besides yourself
What can be found?
Did you ever take a minute
To instead of take… give it?
If the stink
Everywhere makes you whine
Perhaps “not fine”
Is time to sound
Bring on your wealth
Be heavenly bound
Like a blink
Every time will be gone
In your eyes
Immortalize in song
Breakout of stealth
Make a sound

Then we shine, shine, shine… shine on fine
There we glow
