Got plenty is it ever too many?
The gift – uplift
Got gifts
Uplifts
Got plenty is it ever too many?
Going to fly around the world

Got plenty is it ever too many?
The gift – uplift
Got gifts
Uplifts
Got plenty is it ever too many?
Going to fly around the world
Loving giving the loving

Pack my bag and pack it tight
It’s going to be a long, long flight
All these gifts to give tonight
Got plenty is it ever too many?
Going to fly around the world

In the presence of the presents
In the present with the presents
In the midst of future for sure
Going to fly around the world
We’ll let the story be told

LYRICS
Take off running
Spread your wings
Brings beautiful things
Take-off
Running
Spread your wings
Brings beautiful things
Relieve stress
Flapping less
And, soar some more
Like never before
Seeing a new way
Today

Looking down, way down below
Know
The love from above

LYRICS
Heaven on Earth
Given a birth
Life unfurled
Joy to our world
On a wander
Stop to ponder
In a wonder wonderland
Taking her hand I understand
Glories of the grand

Won’t let them waste away
Precious is the day
Take advantage of the birth
For what it’s worth
On a wander
Stop to ponder
In a wonder wonderland
Taking her hand I understand
Glories of the grand

LYRICS
There’s one thing in life that’s for sure
You’ve got to love love…
And all that’s in store
Never know when you’ll hit the floor
Soon you’ll be knocking on heaven’s door
Just like that
Right back for more

Dear God,
I pray you recycle
Don’t want to be Gabriel or Michael
A highfalutin angel or laudy daudy
I want flesh and bone… give me a body
Same as before
Just like that
Right back for more

Appreciate what I’ve been given
But, I can’t get enough of this living
Never bored to death nor to die for
Not “The End”… to be continued… another door
Just like that
Right back for more
Just like that….

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
How bizarre
To wonder how far
To follow a star
Plan to make it my destiny
To clearly see
On the road, my destination —
To infinity
How bizarre
To wonder how far
To follow the star

No gold, frankincense or myrrh
Who could ask for more
Though I’m not a wealthy king
In the heart, all of my love I bring

How bizarre
To wander so far
To follow a star
Plan to make it my odyssey
To finally see
On the road, my destination —
To infinity
How bizarre
To wander so far
To follow the star
(chorus)

LYRICS
As they pick up the fear
Kict-it into gear
Overdrive
Plunge and dive
With hands as fast as lightning
World’s a little less frightening
With wit to cut to the quick
Sense of humor’s sick

As they pick up the fear
Better seer clear
On the verge
Adrenaline surge

As they pick up the fear
Virtue hold dear
Overdrive
Staying alive

LYRICS
Wrap yourself in your birthday suit
Christmas is on its way
For at the core… at the root
The birth is the day
[The birthing earthling
To day, today, too day]
The day you were born
And now forever yearn
We learn
Heaven and hell torn

In “The End” the message you send
It the answer you receive
And would you believe
The message your receive
Do you believe?
(Miss Christmas)

LYRICS
Can you feel it, too
We know what to do
Can you feel the temperature dropping
Look outside! The snow is falling
Stop on by we’ll take it higher
Let time transpire by the fire
Can you feel the mistletoe calling
Get your present and stocking stuffing
Give the dog a Christmas bone
Then, we can be all alone

LYRICS
Gather round enjoy the sound
Hope and joy and cheer are found
All around
Holiday bound
Fill your cup and drink it up
Make the most… propose a toast
All “a round”
Holiday bound
They say this is the day
Earth was given the birth
Make the most of a heavenly host
Propose a toast
Refreshment in merriment
Feel love come in from above
Spirit moving near it
Can you hear it?
Cheer it!

They say this is the day
Earth was given the birth
Make the most of a heavenly host
Propose a toast

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
This is it, believe it or not
They say, “you get what you pay…
For.”
though sometimes it’s more —
How much you can endure
This is it. Quit if a bore
Transit to alure
And ensure
“What’s in store”?
Then the admission:
“Well worth the price of admission!”
In excess of a 3-ring-circus
The fairway’s way
Get to know the sideshow
Going down slow….

LYRICS
Knowing I love you
Knowing you love me, too
Gets us through the things we have to do
I love you

Know what I mean
Got to cook and clean
When the spaces in between
Are seen

To fill the spoon and fork
Got to do all kinds of work
Almost more then one can take
… but when we get a break….

LYRICS
Zombie apocalypse*

*No 3-D glasses required
(You’re soaking in it)
You and me —
Hairless apes with lips
As time transpired
Became full of shhh… hit!
Prerequisite
Required
Dialed
Dire
A respite from dimwit
Suffer fools gladly?
Sadly, I had to quit
As they claim to own “alone”

LYRICS
I really don’t want you
To think and misconstrue
What I say or do
But it’s really hard to get through
No matter what I say or do

Askew in point-of-view
How to bring you to?
What’s to say or do
’cause it’s really hard to get through
No matter what I say or do

Try to shine the light
Try with all my might
Insight is up to you
’cause it’s really hard to get through
No matter what I say or do

LYRICS
Oh won’t you please
Send in the cavalry
Peace dove release
White hat civility
(Have we) Lost our grasp on reality
Really?
Yippie yi yay
Yippie i owe
Underway
Line to tow

How about a knight
In shinning armor
Shield us from fright
The mob rule clamor
(chorus)

What we need is a cowboy
To save our scalps from savages
From the modern man city-boy
And the resources he ravages
(chorus)
