The truth is leaking out

You know it’s true

You Can Feel.mp3

LYRICS
I heard on Christmas Day you can feel
It’s the real deal
I heard on Christmas Day you can feel
It’s the real deal

The act of kindness comes upon us
And for at least one day
We find a way
To be kind
It comes to mind
On Christmas Day

I heard on Christmas Day you can feel
It’s the real deal

You can see humanity
See a human being humane
Slightly humane
It doesn’t just remain slightly
You can see humanity spreading growing like a weed
And, we’d appreciate if at least on Christmas Day
You’d find a way to say
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year

On Christmas Day
I heard ’em say
I know it’s true
On Christmas Day for me and you
You can feel
It’s the real deal

I heard on Christmas Day you can feel
It’s the real deal

Going to Be a Star.mp3

LYRICS
This is a soundcheck… for a reggae sort-a thing… that will be extemporaneous

We’ve made it this far
Rather combine forces and become a star
We’ve made it this far

The I in the I
And the you in you, too
We…
We can determine destiny

Or, so they say

We’ve made it this far

Combine become a star

Become the star you know you are

We’ve made it this far

LYRICS
Heartfelt moment
Heartfelt moment

When you sing Christmas carols in your native tongue
I feel the Earth is as one
Heartfelt moment
It’s a heartfelt moment
First, my spirit went silent
Then, it skipped a beat
When you throw out conceit…
When you throw out defeat…
Heartfelt moment

Wait a minute
No, don’t wait a minute
I feel your spirit
Not only can I hear it
I feel it
Deep within
Heartfelt moment

LYRICS
Good ‘ole Saint Nick
Up his sleeve, he’s got a trick
He’ll make those reindeer fly
Taking toys high in the sky
Good Saint Nick

Overcoming adversity
To try n’ make everyone happy
Good Saint Nick
Good ‘ole Saint Nick

Here’s the trick
If all year long, we just kept a lil’ good ‘ole Saint Nick
As our secret trick
As our back-up plan
To show a human
Humanity
Yeah, let’s see if we can show humanity someone being humane
If any remain?

Good Saint Nick
Keep a little in your heart
That a good place to start
Good Saint Nick
Keep a little in your heart
Maybe we’ll start

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
[knock, knock]
I swore I heard a knock at the door
When I went to explore
I found they were no more
There was no body
Nobody was there

It was the strangest thing
I heard the doorbell ring
Thought maybe it was some carolers coming to sing
The strangest thing
When I answered the door
They were no more
There was no body there
Nobody

[knock, knock]
Who is it?

Up on the rooftop
Most baffling
Hearing the strangest thing
Like 8 little reindeer hoof
When I say little… they weren’t really that little… but compared to the roof
8 reindeer hoofs… 8 x 4… maybe even more
If ya count the one rednosed one
So I arose
Trying to be on my toes
I suppose…
Out of curiosity
I had to see
If there was anybody there
Some body
Somebody
Coming down the chimney
I had to see
’cause I’d heard
It was a tradition
And, I was just itching
To find out if this tradition was just fiction
Or, if there was just a sliver of truth
Because if it could be true for me
Maybe it could be true for you, too
So I had to see what this clutter was… this clutter of clatter
If it ’twas the spirit of Christmas
Is that no body somebody
Hard to put my finger on it
This Christmas spirit
But, I tell ya I hear it
Up on the rooftop
Yes, I suppose when I arose
I just had to look in the right place
If I wanted to see the Christmas spirit’s face
It was right in front of me the whole time
And, here I am searching high and low
At least now I know

Up on the rooftop
Why not?

LYRICS
I’m just a bland gland
I don’t understand
Just a bland gland

I don’t know
It’s hard to believe I’ve developed beyond and embryo
I don’t understand
I’m just a bland gland

Like the belly…
No not just the belly
The underbelly of the lowlyest worm at the bottom of the sea
Yeah that’s me
I don’t understand
I’m just a bland gland

Do I care if I see an atrocity
Nooooo
I just plead ignorance
My indifference passed off as ignorance
I’m guessing people will feel sorry for me
If I don’t understand the atrocity

Ho, ho, ho
I didn’t know

In a peppermint twist of fate
It’s not too late
Sweeeeeeeet
Holiday treat
It’s not too late for a holiday treat

I didn’t know
A package wrapped with a bow
Wrapped all nice and neat
Sweeeeeet

Wouldn’t you know
All wrapped neat and tied with a bow
Peppermint twist of fate
It’s not too late
In a peppermint twist of fate
It’s not too late

A peppermint twist of fate
It’s not too late
For a holiday treat
Sweet!

LYRICS
If you consider all homeless
To be terrorists
What’s up with your self-interest?
That’s messed up
That’s what’s up

How can you raise fear about fear
When you create the terror aren’t you the terrorist
It’s implicit
After all, who created the homelessness
That lack of nest
If you create terrorists
Chances are large you’ll live in fear

Next, you’ll tell me that you hate hate
Well, isn’t that hate that you create
Then, you cheer on your fear
Got terror in error
When the twist is you’re the terrorist
The twist is you’re the terrorist

Do you think you can resist becoming the terrorist
When you hold your fear dear
Like your fear is more dear than my fear
Then I fear fear itself

LYRICS
The air in Beijing
Is breathtaking
If you go there
You better be taking your own air
You’re not suppose to be able to see
The quality
Of air
Beware!

The air in Tehran
Iran
It’s terrorizing
We’re not alone
Closer to home
Philadelphia
Well, the air there
Is filth dealt to ya

Breathtaking

Better not gasp
’cause your lungs won’t last
You’re not suppose to be able to see
The air quality
We’ve gotta gotta find
Rack your mind
We’ve gotta find
A solution to all our air pollution
Gotta find
What comes to mind?
For crying out loud
My, Lord!
We’re not suppose to be able to see the air quality
We’re not suppose to be able to see the air…
Quite frankly

Living in a fog
When you’re living in smog
Clearly there’s no clarity
The air there is breathtaking
If something’s ever been meant for “goodness saking”
It’s air that’s breathtaking

Breathtaking Part 2.mp3

This song is about humans making the planet uninhabitable. Over the last couple weeks, major cities including Beijing, Tehran and Philadelphia have declared air quality alerts. People are advised not to breath.

Air pollution is one of leading causes of death.

LYRICS
Is that the way it is?
Because if that’s the way it is
Now, it was

Is that the way it is?
’cause that is turned to was
The is is now was
Shall we get to will be
What will be
What will be will be
If we chart our destiny

Well, is that the way it
Now, that’s the way it was
Is that the way it is
Because…
Now, that’s the way it was

Is that the way it is
’cause now that’s the way it was
Because
As fast as it is is
Is was

In the blink of an eye I go from is to was
So as long as I shall be
I will be
Living in what will be
In charge of our density

Sailing the sea we’ll see what will be charting our destiny

Is that the way it is
Is that the way it is
Is that the way it is

If that’s the way it is
Then that’s the way it is

PART 3
Is that the way it is?
Because
If that’s the way it is
Now, that’s the way it was
As is turns to was

I’d like to see how we chart our destiny
So we set sail for the sea we shall see how we chart our destiny

Is that the way it is?
Because
Now, that is was

Is that how it is?
Because
Now, that is has turned to was

I’ve been wandering
Wondering as I’m wandering
Out on the range
Isn’t life strange

I hope I’m not walking
I hope I’m not talking
In circles
I’d feel like such a circle-jerk
That just won’t work

I’ve been wandering
Wondering as I’m wandering
Out on the range
Isn’t life strange
Let’s begin to soak it in
It doesn’t matter where you begin
Soak it in
