If you’re one
To believe

We’ll conceive
Bringing on
A new dawn
A knew dawn
Known
Shown
Flowing
Into the knowing

LYRICS
If it smells like petunias
It’s got to be spring
You can sense the sense
The aroma brings
The warmth in the breeze
Causes trees to leave
While the rays of the days
Plays
Yeah, the rays of the sun
Come
Shinning through
On you

If the ear hears birds sing
It’s got to be spring
You can sense the sense
The sound brings
The warmth in the breeze
Causes trees to leave
While the rays of the days
Plays
Yeah, the rays of the sun
Come
Shinning through
On you

If the I/eye knows rainbows
It’s got to be spring
You can sense the sense
The sight brings
The warmth in the breeze
Causes trees to leave
While the rays of the days
Plays
Yeah, the rays of the sun
Come
Shinning through
On you

LYRICS
It’s a…
Very predictable outcome
Call it free dumb
Tell Mother Nature’s son…
To run
Run through the forest and field
Our motto’s never yield
Run through the trees and pasture
Run to serve our future
Run through the valley, over hills
Run until your gut spills
Soar over the foes and the woes
Land if Man can understand

LYRICS
Down on the dock
There’s no tik-tok
No watching a clock
Time just fades away
All you can take
Down on the lake
For “goodness” sake
We’ll lose track of the day
Time just fades away

LYRICS

Pound a nail
Got to hang a picture
Another nail
Got another picture
Just in case
You want to see
Posterity

Scoop and bail
Or sink before we sail
Cry and wail
Won’t help to change the tale
Just in case
They want to see
Posterity

Please pinch me
A dose of reality
Please pinch me
Rouse from serenity
Just in case
I doubt my
Mortality

LYRICS
What color’s the sky
I mean which color of blue
In the spectrum of blue
The specific hue
The depth and breadth
Of sky blue

Red sky in morning
Sailors take warning
Red sky at night
Sailors delight

What color’s the sky
I mean which color of blue
In the spectrum of blue
The specific hue
The depth and breadth
Of sky blue
As a matter of fact
At night it’s all black
Except for pin pricks of light
Full moon brightens the nigh
Stars and mars
See mercury
Venus
Over us

LYRICS
The summertime is flying by
Can’t reason when. Can’t reason why
Seems like we all did just begin
Sure hope to live to see it again

I don’t know what I’m suppose to say
Still thought it was the month of May
Seems like we all did just begin
Sure hope to live to see it again

I just woke up to see the time
Now, hear me cray and hear me whine
Seems like we all did just begin
Sure hope to live to see it again

The summertime has wound on down
Sure hope to see you next time ’round
Seems like we all did just begin
Sure hope to live to see it again

LYRICS
Yeah, the top dog hopped upon his spot
No, his name’s not spot
It’s not
It’s knot
Top dog
He’s the top dog
Jumped upon my bed
On top
Decides to lay his head
… on… my bed
On top
Now, he’s the top dog
I’m the man cog
He’s the top dog
Knot tied tight
Knot tied right
Not naughty
Not knot
Good dog?
Great dog.
Top dog
He’s a great dog
Rate dog: top dog

Find your own bit of water
And mosey down
What in life really matters

LYRICS
Sitting here with you
Under a sky so blue
Oh, there’s nothing better to do
Right here before my eyes
I’ve come to realize
All my dreams are coming true

Sitting here lakeside
Wondering if I have died
Gone to heaven to reside
Right here before my eyes
I’ve come to realize
All my dreams are coming true

[another twinkling piano interlude]

LYRICS
I can see beyond the canopy
… beyond the canopy
The light shines through upon you
… through upon you
The way of the ray
The ray makes the day

I’m afraid we’re losing the shade
… losing the shade
The flora is starting to fade
… starting to fade
The way of the ray
The ray makes the day

Pollution revolution
… revolution
These “we’s” killing the trees
… killing the trees
The way of the ray
The ray makes the day

I’ve got you
Come on do
Jump in
Begin
Got you

Unless you try
You’ll never know why
It’s do or die

Fears to fend
The deep end
Dive in

Can do
Unless you try
You’ll never know why
It’s do or die
… do or die!

LYRICS
Guess it’s starting to show
Where we’re really going
Guess I’m getting to know
Which way the wind’s blowing
The day draws near
The smoke will clear

The sprouts starting to grow
Toward the sun going
Guess it’s starting to show
Which way the rains flowing
The day draws near
Harvest is here

To yes from a no
The love starts growing
Up high from down low
Let love begin showing
The day is here
Sound the “all clear”
