Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Isn’t it something
When there’s nothing
Isn’t it something
When you’re gone

Though only a moment
Without movement
Though only a moment
It’s been too long

When nothing is something
And something is nothing
Hearing Nature-all sing
When I’m gone

Evolving from nothing
Evolving from something
Back into nothing
Stardust to stardust

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Maybe I can’t say
That there is no way
To fret and fray
Regret each day
Can’t worry your troubles away

To begin
Worrying
Lets death in
Through the doors
Through the pores
’til only woe endures

Let out a sigh
Don’t wonder why
Everyone will die
Relentlessly try
We’re all still going to die

Why Worry?.mp3

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
The way they look into each others eyes
It comes as no surprise
Another sure sign is the way they pine
When fate separates

This is love!
This is love!
Who doesn’t know,
This is love!

One understands when they’re holding hands
It’s plain for all to see
Two hearts as one under the sun
“I do” for eternity

This is love!
This is love!
Who doesn’t know,
This is love!

She loves his style of courtesy
When it comes to “loving me”
He loves her style — generosity
Spreading smiles… living free

This is love!
This is love!
Who doesn’t know,
This is love!

LYRICS
I’m really happy to say
It’s your wedding day
I’m really happy to see
It’s come to be

The bearer brings
Hearts opening
Our angel sings
As you exchange the rings

The guests all dance
Around your romance
The Best Man’s speech
“Love’s within reach”

Can’t hide the feelings inside
When it’s time to kiss the bride
Champagne and presents
Essence of effervescence

LYRICS
What am I living for?
I’m counting out time
… is there more?

You know it’s true
What keeps me livin’
This life I’m given
… is you

What am I living for?
Just counting out time
To earn another dime?

What am I living for?
I’m counting out time
… a death I can’t endure

What am I living for?
I’m taking in time
With reason and rhyme
That’s what I’m living for

LYRICS
So, ours soars with the angels
All her children ring their bells
Joined the choir that sings with wings

Been being to other beings
As she’d be unto herself
Now an undercover angel
Doing well with spirit stealth

Been being to other beings
As she’d be unto herself
Now an undercover angel
Doing well with spirit (heaven’s) wealth

Been being to other beings
As she’d been unto herself
Now an undercover angel
Granted eternal health

So, ours soars with the angels
All her children ring their bells
Joined the choir that sings with wings

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
What am I suppose to do
When there’s nothing I can do
What am I suppose to do
I’m asking you

Gotta get back on my feet
By keeping upbeat
Defeat defeat
When my heart’s complete

Maybe if I help the world
Before I get too old
The idea ain’t that bold
Oldest story ever told

No reason. There is no “why?”
We’re all going to die
Will you transcend the sky
Because you decide to try

I’m asking you…
I’m begging you

LYRICS
The fortitude in you
The attitude of fortitude
Have you?
I’ve got the fortitude
In the key of blues

Have you got it?
Come on and get it
Go get it
Have you got it in you?
Come on, do you?
Do you, too?
I’ve got the fortitude
In the key of blues

In a compassion fashion
Not rude and not lewd
With the love of a peace dove
Fortitude
I’ve got the fortitude
In the key of blues

LYRICS
Feeling helpless
Oh so helpless
Alas, one more “unless”?
Hopelessly helpless
Helplessly hopeless
I must confess
I wish there was something I could do
I wish there was something I could do… for you
Feeling blue
Turns to black
There’s no turning back

There’s no place to hide
We’re along for the ride
See you on the other side

I don’t understand
I want to hold her hand
I want to save the life
… of my wife

LYRICS
Did you discover…
Your complaint of having to wait
Is over
Yes, wait less
Now you are wait-less
Your weightless
You’re weightless

Same ole fate
Meet-your-maker date
They say…
It could be any day

Angels are your wings
And other amazing things
Unfurled
Wonders beyond the world

I think you’re seeing heaven
Heaven, again
You know…
From whence one will come, one will go
Heaven, again

LYRICS
I’m so lonely without you at home
Yes it is
It’s Chris I miss

It’s so lonely at home without you
Can’t hardly cry myself to sleep
No matter how I weep
I don’t know what to do
When are you coming home
I feel so all alone
Where am I going now?
I’ve got to help her somehow
When is she coming home
When is she?
I’m so lonely
When is she?

LYRICS
Got a nice thick froth coming to a head
Bubbling over
Sense the effervescence essence getting put to bed
Bubbling over
An aroma that’ll raise you from a coma
Bubbling over
Not hard to tell when you love the smell
Bubbling over
With a love finer than champagne
You’re the champion
Shower our “our”

Ya did pop the lid… the quirk to pop the cork
Bubbling over
You know how to make the glass overflow
Bubbling over
Finer than the finest wine… fine, fine, fine
Bubbling over
A perfect blend to help hearts mend
Bubbling over
With a love finer than champagne
You’re the champion
Shower our “our”
Love bubbling over our
Happy hour

Here the war weep
Hear the battle cry
The blood runs deep
And,we can’t answer why
Civilians playing uncivil war
Until there are civilians no more

All consuming
Consumption damage
All consuming
Consumption “Damn Age”
Hear the war weep
Here the battle cry
Yipiyi-a-a-a-a
Yipiyi-o-o-o-o
Woe oh oh oh oh….
I don’t know
I just don’t know
