LYRICS
The words for the verse are crucial
And, I’m trying to figure it out

The chords for the chorus… revolution
And, I’m trying to hammer it out

Please let what they sing ring
Throughout the land
Please let what they play say
We understand

No need to rehearse. This crucible
Is sure to fire things up
The power of love is critical
The volume it’s time to turn up

LYRICS
Where do you find beauty?
Is it in your comfort?
If you seek you must confront,
The demons in your body

Chorus
What the heck…
I see it in the crape of your neck
Down the small of your back
… and back
Are you sensitive behind your knee
… let’s see
Can I find your soul
In your sole?

Bathing in the light
Basking at the sight
How do I find beauty
Let me count the ways
With this view that I see
We could be here for days

LYRICS
I can’t see clear
Until I’m outta here

’till the shackles are gone
I can’t go wrong
Free of the ball and chain
Before I can roam again

Where do we go from here

I can see your fence
And, I can see past
To a fence past tense
And, we’re free at last

We can see clear
To a place outta here
We can be free
There’s a place… it can be!

Thank you for putting me here, my Lord
For that I am

I can bare witness to this

Thank you for putting me here, my Lord
So, I can hear, and I can testify
I saw it with my eye

You, yes, you
You gave me the ability to be
With that came the ability to see
That I can

Stampede Of Our Own Confusion.mp3

LYRICS
Who let the fox in the hen house again?
(repeat x3)

As long as we don’t cluck
And, &^$% things up
If we all start panicking
We’ll stampede in our own confusion

Like sitting ducks on the first day of huntin’
(repeat x3)

Probably should take flight
Before we’re in their sights
If they all start shootin’
We’ll stampede in our own confusion

ABOUT THE SONG
A song about politicians and the herd mentality of citizens.

A stampede is an act of mass impulse among herd animals or a crowd of people in which the herd (or crowd) collectively begins running with no clear direction …

LYRICS
That would be tragic
If you fell victim to black magic

“From there I shall come to judge the quick…
And, the dead.”

Lively up yourself
Don’t be no dread

That would be tragic
If you fell victim to black magic

For you mental health
Don’t cast a spell on yourself

That would be tragic
If you fell victim to black magic

You are my sunshine
The only sunshine
Bring love and feeling fine

That would be tragic
If you fell victim to black magic

Abracadabra the white magic
Cure the ill… heal the sick

LYRICS
Did you know
God’s all around
Did you know
God’s easily found
Did you know
God does abound

Right before your eyes
You can come to realize
God’s all around

God can be found all around
Did you know
Are you aware
God is everywhere
Did you want to feel an inner peace
An outer peace
Do you want to share everything
Less the dread
(God’s not dead!)

God’s all around
Wanting to be found

Don’t ever let it be said
That you went to bed
Without giving the proper kudos
About the Good News

If you want to see
If you want to be

She’ll be with me
She’ll be with you, too
’cause She’s in plain view
She doesn’t want to hide
She doesn’t want anywhere near the darkside

God’s everywhere
If you declare
God will be there
If you justify
If you testify
I saw Her with my eye

God is here
God is now
No need for “somehow”

If ever there was a time
For a sure thing
This would be the time
To bring
Make it yours
Make it mine
’cause this is a time for a sure thing

I’d like to take the time to say
This is a good day

If ever there was a time
For a sure thing
Let’s see what we can bring

Let’s get it on
Let’s have begun

Let’s bring everything

If we can raise praise…
Please may we raise the praise

Now, give it up

Give it up
Give it over to the sure
I can see what She can bring
I can see… eternity
I can see we can be

Bring on the sure thing

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
I’m coming at you
%$#* the vengeance
I’m coming at you with repentance

Sure, someday you’ll pay
But, it doesn’t have to be my way
I’m more than happy

The future’s your own destiny
It’s not up to me
Choose your own destiny

I’m coming at you
%$#* the vengeance
I’m coming at you with repentance

There’s no need to be defensive
This is all meant for our own good
If we would have just done what we could
Then we wouldn’t be in the dilemma
A little more Dalai Lama
A little less crusade
Would bring the aid

I’m coming after you
%$#* the vengeance
I’m coming after you with repentance

Every life comes to an end
Will your soul ascend…
On Judgement Day
When justice comes your way

I’m coming after you
There’s not much you can do
I’m diligent
Not violent
Gotta get the repentance through

LYRICS
If you are living in fear
Thinking the end is near
Let it be forgot
’cause it’s not
But, can’t you see the tragedy
Living in slow, lingering misery

There could come the day when you pray
The End is near
But, for now there’s nothing to fear

So, if we can steer clear
We can see through tragedy
We’ve got to see it
We’ve got to do it
Follow through
Me and you… let’s do!

We can make every day a little brighter
We can make love a little tighter
We can do it if we choose
I don’t think anyone would rather lose?

When you lookout, lookout, lookout
From behind your eyes
Is it any… surprise?!?!

Got to get up, get up, get up
And, rise

When you stand up, stand up, stand up
For what you believe
You will bring… relief
Surmise — rise!

Got to get up, get up, get up
And, rise

When you speak out, speak out, speak out
About injustice
You raise consciousness
A prize for those that rise

Got to get up, get up, get up
And, rise

bookmark_borderOwn Worst Enemy

Posted on by admin

A song inspired by a friend’s Facebook post:

So, 88-98% of corn, cotton (cotton oil–as in what a lot of potato chips are cooked in), canola oil, and soybean crops grown are genetically engineered. About 80% of the crops are to feed livestock. So what evolution has taken 3 billion years to create, humankind can destroy in 40 years. Maybe that’s the plan, to kill off our own kind to revert back to the beginning, with a little plastic and holes in the ozone as a special bonus. Kudos, Homo sapiens. We’ve really “outdone” ourselves.

LYRICS
What is it that I walk upon?
I wish we had the insight to look on and on and on
And, we found the ground
Underneath our feet
Are we going to be our own defeat?

What is that that I breath
Has the air gone up in thin air
Is there something more than just our air in there
What is it we breath
Are we our own disease?

Will we beat
Into defeat
Will we beat
Our own defeat

What is that in our food
Is it any good
What we eat
Are we our own defeat?

I don’t think we can cheat Mother Nature
It’s us we beat into defeat

We’re going to beat ourselves into defeat
And, I would say it’s time to change the seat
This game of musical chairs is going nowhere
I don’t want to be the last one standing
It won’t be any fun if I’m the only one that does remain
It might even drive you insane
