To try and explain somehow
Imagine if we could listen
To Mother Nature hissin’
As if it were me…

Swooning
In love with be

LYRICS
Do your skies turn blue
Do your dreams come true
Do you enjoy doing the things you do?

You’re never alone
When Earth’s your home
The greatest gift of all
Is living ’til the fall
Of the curtain
(That’s for certain)

Do your skies turn bright
Is your life alright
Do the things you’re doing give you delight?

Are your skies cloud free
Is your mood happy
Do you enjoy being the things you be?

LYRICS
The sun is on fire
Watch time transpire
As we twist into the night
The sun is on fire
Watch time transpire
As the day is shed in her light
I hope she burns bright tonight
And never’s the day she fades away
… not fade away

The sun is on fire
Our times transpire
Hell freezes over should she burn out
The sun is on fire
’till noon higher
Discovered what time is about
And never’s the day she fades away
… not fade away

LYRICS
Though it might be hard to believe
It’s not to late to conceive
It’s the Earth holding you down
And spinning you round n’ round
Keeping your feet on the ground
(Keeping my / our feet on the ground)
Founded in grounded

Is it possible that I am
In a spacetime continuum
Without the Earth holding me down
I’d be “to infinity” bound
Oh, the gravity of my situation
Floating among the constellations

bookmark_borderThis Christmas Wish

LYRICS
I’d like to wish you a Merry Christmas
I’d like to wish a Happy New Year
So when it comes to this
Christmas wish
I’ll embrace and hold dear

They call you the forgotten one
Mother Nature’s son
Forgot that to keep you in
Is a mortal sin
Time to think and think again
About letting you out

I’d like to wish you a Merry Christmas
I’d like to wish a Happy New Year
So when it comes to this
Christmas wish
I’ll embrace and hold dear

They say your only goal:
To save our soul
By spreading the Christmas cheer
And ringing in the new year
For it’s not to late to believe
Give to receive

LYRICS
Acting like you haven’t heard it before
No more “for gore”
Pro-war no more
See to shinning sure
The tide rolls in and out
No doubt
The tide will (surely) turn
The living (likely) learn

The seasons always change
’til Man came to re-arrange
Taking things to the extreme
Weather or not knowing what it means

LYRICS
Damned if you do
Damned if you don’t
Oh how the heart aches
When the damn breaks

Quick! Stick your finger in the hole
The goal: stop it taking it’s toll
Quick! Fill more sandbags
The task master barks and nags

The water is starting to rise
It comes as no surprise
Pretty soon… up to our ears
Drowning in our worst fears

Will we realize it won’t subside
Guess we’re along for the ride
To the heights of the highest tide
So much for hurting pride

LYRICS
We turn our back and face away
Turn from the sun
The day is done
Earth turns around… another day
Then darkness falls over us all
The ground lays low
The trees stand tall
We come to know
The shadows
In the dark of night
Start to lose our sight
Reminding us
Be kind to the blind
Please show us the light

Fading daylight
Oncome of night
Going dim
Passed the rim
Here/Hear’s what’s happening
Into the evening
Let the music play
Beyond the fall of day
Let tomorrow
Follow today
Heed the call of the sway
’til tomorrow
Follows today

LYRICS
Last summertime rhyme
For quite some time
After all
We’re falling into fall
Seasons come
And seasons go, I know
It’s just so hard letting go

The last day of summer
Is my heart growing number
No, all emotional
I am in the autumn

No, there’s no sense cryin’
Over blossoms dyin’
Fore here’s the thing
What spring will bring

See the colors change
To the spectrum’s range
After all,
We’re falling into fall

bookmark_borderFool For Summer

LYRICS
Can you ever get enough summer fun
Why’s it always feel time’s on the run
Some sort-of rule
About going to school
Guess at heart I’m just a summertime fool
The kids grow up and leave the nest
But surely I digress
Those that think it’s best
Well, they’ve got the wrong address

Can you ever get enough summer fun
Why’s it always feel time’s on the run
Parents go irate
Over a certain date
If it was up to me, wouldn’t hesitate
To say, “Let it wait!”
The kids grow up and leave the nest
But surely I digress
Those that think it’s best
Well, they’ve got the wrong address
… I digress

LYRICS
Waiting for the atmosphere to clear
How long have I been waiting here?
Oh, dear
How’s the air way up there
Way down here less than fair
Not sure we’re aware
(Or that we even care)

Waiting for the atmosphere
To clear itself from all the fear
Tell me does the time draw near?
Oh, dear

The word on the street I’m waiting to hear
What the message is isn’t coming in clear
Oh, dear

Through the atmosphere trying to peer
How long have I been standing here?
Oh, dear

LYRICS
The earth, wind and fire
The elements conspire
Gas, liquid, solid
They did
In a state of transition
Transformation
A new age information
For formation

Air, land, sea
In unity
(Get down to Earth)
Rock, paper, scissors
Metamorphosis

Birth, life, death
Laid to rest
The End, middle, begin
Do it again

LYRICS
If the grass is always greener
On the other side
We reside
Believe me time’s are leaner
On that side
We reside
We reside on the right side
We reside on the bright side

If the skies are always bluer
On the other side
We reside
Believe me ours diffuse (the blues)
On this side
We reside
We reside on the right side
We reside on the bright side

Are the streets full of dreamers
Ride the tide
We reside
In the flow of the streamers
The inside
Is outside
We reside
We reside on the right side
We reside on the bright side
