LYRICS
Please Navigator
Set navigation for the location
Of under blue skies
Under blues sky
Is it time to fly?

Navigator,
By the way…
Is time for me to say
We’re shoving off
Enough’s enough
See ya later
Navigator?

Please, Navigator… set navigation for the location
Of Blues skies
Where the spirit flies

Happy
And know why
Happy I’m alive to be I
Eye to eye
Under blues sky
I can see, see, see

LYRICS
If it’s a lie
Will you find out before you die
Just because it’s you, you, you
Believing it’s true
Do you think that’ll do?

Don’t need to be a sleuth
When the truth
Is obvious
To all of us
Logical to all
That are logical

Forget the fantasy of conspiracy
Conspiracies miscarry
The reality of responsibility is the destiny of your mortality

Cupid’s Arrow.mp3

LYRICS
I had this crazy notion
To create a concoction — Love Potion

I had this crazy notion
To create a concoction
Love potion

A love potion
Spreadin’ from ocean to ocean

Upon suggestion
Create a concoction
Injection
Straight to the heart
Like Cupid’s arrow
And a bow… ya know?
Straight through the heart
A love potion
Can you help the love grow
Spread it from ocean to ocean
Could be the solution
To our situation
The creation
Of a concoction
A love potion

A love potion
Set in motion
Love potion

Solution to our situation
Our hell-bound self-annihilation
We need some new ventilation
It’s hard to breath
I think our hearts will seize
And our brains will freeze

A love potion

If we start to look in our heart
The soul-ution will be the potion
And the potion will spread from ocean to ocean

LYRICS
Out of the web in my cob
With a wink and a nod
For which I yearn to learn
I learn…
I can see… it’s already a memory

Clearing the webs from my cob

Clearing the webs from my cob
With a wink and a nod
For all which I yearn to learn
I can see clearly
It’s already a memory

I can see…
Was already a memory

From within
I begin
To see
Quite clearly

Clearing the webs from my cob
With a wink and a nod
All for which I yearn to learn
I discern
I can see clearly
Already a memory

… already memory

LYRICS
If the future is coming on
Sure hope we’re not going wrong

If the future is coming on
Sure appears it’s coming on
Strong
Coming on strong

Hope we haven’t gone wrong
#ucked up mucked up
The road
The path
In this wrath
Mother lode

The future is coming on strong
I’m thinking…
Did we go wrong?
What were we thinking
I’m thinking the path we’ve left is stinking
Somewhat worried
Somewhat concerned
We didn’t learn
The road to the mother lode
The future
Are you sure
We didn’t go wrong
’cause it’s coming on strong

LYRICS
Do you dread what’s in your head
And when you come to
Will you think so, too?

Do you dread what’s in your head?

Well, my guess
If I were to wager
If I were to place a bet
I could just wait and see
As far as I can see
You set your own destiny

You’re better off to figure
Before you pull the trigger
You better figure it out
Don’t scream and shout

Can’t we just put it to bed?

Oh please don’t ever let me get dread locks in my head

LYRICS
If it’s the world you want to change
It might take more than your pocket change

The damage we’ve done
Nobody won
Nobody one
When you look back
You will see
The way things could be

If it’s the world you want to change
It might take more than pocket change

We can change the way
We can make the day
We can show the way

Just like has been said before
Don’t know if we can stand any more
Going through the floor

The way we’re going
It’s going to begin
The way things are going
It’s going to begin
To end

The way we’re headed
Going to be dreaded
By the youth
The way that we’re headed
Won’t need a sleuth
Falling through the floor

Once we climb the mountain, it’s all downhill

Once we climb the mountain, it’s all downhill
Downhill
Still, until…
We gotta climb oh so high
Still, until…
We must get by
Let’s head to the sky

Once we climb the mountain, it’s all downhill

The sky opens up and dumps it’s rain
Dumps it’s reign
Let it fall over the fool
As we climb up, let the love shine down
Let the love be found

All downhill
Using freewill
All downhill
Using freewill
We’ll pray to do what’s right
You know it’s in sight
Let is rock and roll downhill
It’s all downhill
Let the rock roll
Let the rock roll downhill
And, we will instill
The will of living
And giving
Until the last drop
Giving non-stop

We’re in step
To the promised land
In a marching band
A reggae… funky reggae marching band

Pick up a flute or pickup a lute
A mandolin or violin
Pick up whatever you can get into

Left right it’s alright
Left right left right
We left left right

In step to thee promised land
If you want to joins hands
Hand in hand in step to the promised land

LYRICS
All this riotin’ and lootin’
Doin’ nothing but pollutin’
Your solution
Undermine your revolution

Son, had you begun in Ferguson?
Watch the gore for sure in Baltimore

You can’t hate hate unless you partake
You can’t take part with what’s at stake
When you behave all irate… at any rate

There’s a moral lack when you strike back
At others not involved in your attack
Doesn’t matter whether they’re a shade of grey, white or black
It’s just a matter of fact
That ain’t no way to act

Is it any wonder they wanna put you in a cage
The way you behave all in a rage
You’re more likely to engage as a sage
Put a The End to that book… and look to a blank page

All this riotin’ and lootin’
Doin’ nothing but pollutin’
Your solution
Undermine your revolution

Watch the gore for sure in Baltimore?
No more! No more!

LYRICS
A fight to the finish
In our fragile space capsule
A race to The End of the human race
Living to diminish
Our fragile space capsule
Modern Age rage flailing in disgrace

Happy birthday (Hey, hey, hey)
Dear ole Earthday (Hey, hey, hey)

Right on!
Get positive on negative ions
May the atmosphere of our sphere
Scatter blue your sky
… and make you feel high

Happy birthday (Hey, hey, hey)
Dear ole Earthday (Hey, hey, hey)

Can you see yourself floating in the sea
I confess the weightlessness is bliss
Crave the rave of riding on a wave

Happy birthday (Hey, hey, hey)
Dear ole Earthday (Hey, hey, hey)

Do you know the feeling of a rainbow
Synesthesia like anesthesia from the dread
Flourish and nourish your head

Happy birthday (Hey, hey, hey)
Dear ole Earthday (Hey, hey, hey)
