B / C
Physical and emotional.
A song about my broken leg and the girl I met the night before… learning to walk again after a broken leg… learning to love again after a broken heart… kind or the same thing? Bringing on the joy, the pain fades away… I’m learning to walk again.

Dm
All the clamour
Endless debate
Doesn’t matter
How irrate
Em / Am
‘casuse it’s too late now?
(‘casuse it’s too late now?)
Dm
The less you stammer
The less you state
The more I’d rather
Reiterate
Em / Am
It’s too late now
C / Em
But, somehow
The stars shine brighter
Laughter
Does away with shadow
Em / Am
It’s alright now!
Am / Am add F# / Em / Am
It’s quite alright!!!
Sure…
You made it through the rapture
Relieve…
No stress
Reprieve
You believe
Undress
Your God’s bod’
Duress
Free
Naturally
This song was inspired by:
Edie Weinstein — Noticed something as I am back from the gym & grocery shopping. People seem friendlier, as if relieved that they believe they have been given a reprieve…, lyrics for a great rap song.. Anyone wanna take it and run with it? Michael Franti, Dyana Jean, Daniel Brouse, Robin Renee, Annabella Wood, Cassendre Xavier, this could be YOU! ?

One day
A crook
Mistook
Mine for his own
Opportunities
Blown
Chorus:
Why would ya wanna steal from a guy like me?
Can’t you see… do you think I’m blind?
Look what ya took
A gifted tool
To distribute bliss
Now, amiss
Sold down ‘river
Unable to deliver
1.
Once had a tambourine
I could make sing
I could make ring
Feet racing for dancing
The joy it’d bring
Now, something… happened
It’s gone… know what I mean?
Chorus
2.
Once had a guitar
A special 6-string
I could make sing
Hands and feet thumping
The joy it’d bring
Now, something… happened
It’s gone… too far.
Chorus
What justification
For eradication
Of chaos theory
Illumination
When you destroy
Such a toy?
… the smile of a little boy
… homeless, helpless
… to have brightened their day
In some way
Astray
A curse… you placed to follow you
Until leading true

What do you hear
As you run away
From here
Do you hear
What you fear
Does it tear
Does it rip
At your heart
Tearing you
Apart
Does it trip
Up your thought
Impairing… less
Alert
Listen?
Teach me a lesson
What do I fear….
Don’t Tread on Us,
Look’s like freedom’s
Thown under a bus?
Our flag
Stained
Red
With the blood
Of injustice
A list of dirty names
n’ worse off words
Tag —
Sin like saints
I have nothing
Good to say
So, I’ll say
Nothing at all:
Cozen
O’connor
Cheryl
Sattin
Satin
John
Jake
Griffin
Lien’
Whitpain
Pain
Where?
Montgomery County
District Attorney
Risa
Vetri
FerMan
Man-hater
Extraordinaire
Donna
Snyder
Unfairer
There
Janet
Morrison
Childs
Child’s nitemare
Son’s quagmire
Rights
Right!
Teach
First Ammendment
Freedom of Speech
Fight!
Amongst the herds…
Do any of these words
Cause a red flag?
Can’t order the gag
I am practically nothing
A mere speck
In the universe
So, what the heck
Might as well
Lift a voice
And, start singing
Chorus and verse
About your hell
Rejoice!!!
Please refrain
From the causing
Of pain
When you rain
On friends
May love
Reign over you
Oh, rain is slowed
By friction
The contradiction
Reign is not slowed
By friction
32 feet per second
Per second
No, “Wait a second!”
Love reign
Pouring through
Your roof
Love reign
Pointing out
You’re aloof
Penetrating
Flesh and bone
The truth
Never leaving you
Alone
Though,
I’m glad you asked
“Who the fuck are you?”
Nobody… just do
What I can do
Now,
Asking the question, too —
Q: Who the fuck are you?
A: Liar
Hypocrite
Dire
Underachievement
… meant
To show a speck
A little respect

Jewel, tool or just a fool?
Whatever I can be
Thank you
For enough light
To have sight
Of me
Jewel, tool or just a fool
Beyond the light sight
Thank you
Insight light might
Help me see me
A song inspired by this conversation….
Daniel Brouse asked Edie Weinstein:
What do you think?
Edie Weinstein replied:
About what?
Daniel Brouse responded:
Ha! The world?
Edie Weinstein shines the light:
I think it is a place of divine delight in which we get to create our own vision and live it out. I think we are each responsible for healing it and illuminating the dark places. I love being here. OR were you looking for an answer a bit more mundane? ?
Daniel Brouse:
Perfect! Too bad more people don’t know… heaven is here.
LYRICS
Imagine this…
While having conversation
With Miss Bliss
Somehow we
Miss the bliss
… miss the realization
We’re soakin’ in
Happiness
Heaven on Earth
From our most
Recent birth
No lyin’
We’ve reached Zion
The Promised Land
In our hand
If we could…
But only
Understand
by Daniel Brouse
Humans
Create fate
Humans
Create dates
Human’s fate
Set their date
At any rate
There’s no debate
Our state…
Irate
We’ve gone mad
Off our rocker
All more than a tad
Beyond rational
Create hate?
Participate
Via voyeur
Then begin
The citizen
If we fall folly
To our
Un-natural nation
The gravity
Of no passivity
Leaves no pity
Create hate?
Participate
Via voyeur
Or, didn’t we know
Or, didn’t we NO
For us it is
A dismal prognosis
DOA RIP
Pray love gets the best of me.

Uhgh oh,
Things got really peculiar
Once I got to know her
I started to see
Undergarments
Hanging from a tree
Oh, yeah
Quite odd
Gone commando
Another scene, if ya know what I mean
Dear Doe,
Dang! She’s gone commando.
Sincerely,
John Dear
[File under Dear, John / Letter]
Oh, yeah
Quite odd
Gone commando
Another scene, if ya know what I mean

If the whole goal
Is to be on top
Then, it all depends
On where the top is…
My bottom
Could be
Your lid
If the whole goal
Is to try to stop
Then, it all depends
On having a heart…
My goal
Could be
Your start
Sometimes
It’s hard
To tell apart

the weather here is unusual
i’m watching trees bend into yoga shapes
and wooden ya know
…some are not taking kindly to the discipline — Crack and Bang
should my communication breakdown, please don’t take it personally… because, the eclectic could lose electric. not to worry, i’ll be back right after the brief public service announcement from Mother Nature.

Intro:
For those of you
With a broken heart
My heart
Goes out
To you
[crunch]
Even when it’s feeling
Like the pain
Will drive me insane
I’m not left reeling
In a downward spiral
Toward the abyss
You fix
What’s amiss
My knee is headed East
My foot West
Needless to say,
Not the best.
Of course,
It could be much worse
Without you
Inside my head.
Helping fix
What’s a mess
Making the pain
Less
My knee is headed East
My foot West
Obviously,
Not the best.
But…at least,
Not broken hearted.
In fact,
You’ve started,
To heal
From heel
To head
The feeling headed
In a reciprocal
Circle

A pound of bricks
A pound of feathers
Those in the throws of sticks
And, stones
Thrown from their thrones
Flesh and bones?
Nothing weathers
That matters
Is it fine
In this time
When, “What is that?”
Is that what is
Makes you wonder
How the others live
Perhaps, not that far away
A day
When what is just
Just is
More than chance
That justice
Someday will sway
The balance
PART II
When, “What is that?”
Is that what is
Makes you wonder
How the others live
When what is just
Just is
Justice
Someday will sway
The balance
How will I weigh?
A pound of bricks
A pound of feathers
Those in the throws of sticks
And, stones
The one that weathers
Thrown from their thrones
The one that matters
Is not me
Without we
I just am
Without you
Too
Two alones
A family
Better we’d be
Better by far
We already are
Together we way
Together we weigh
Together we may
Without fail
The Scale
Just is
Justice
