LYRICS
If you get thrown
And fall on your ass
Just be glad
It’s in your past
Ya gotta get up
Get up and do it again

Poor little Jack
Fell down… broke his crown
Still the fact
It’s in your past
Ya gotta get up
Get up and do it again

Hubris
Fell to Nemesis
Falling humbles
No more grumbles
Ya gotta get up
Get up and do it again

LYRICS
Every day when I think about time
I know I want to make this day mine

Ya know, I want to make it mine
When I get up and start the day
I want to take advantage of all my time
I want to make the day mine
And, when I’m through, I’ll gift it to you

I’m never bored
Or at a loss
For something
Or anything to do
Want to take advantage of all the time
I want to make the day mine
And, when I’m through, I’ll gift it to you
When I’m done
I’ll be the one
There’s nothing better I can do
Then pass the feeling on to you

When I’m through, I’ll gift it to you

I’m so thankful for being given this time
I want to make the day mine

You can be the eye of a hurricane
You can be the face of a cliff
As long as you’re not an old stiff
By keeping an active brain

You can be the moth of a river
You can be the heart of the matter
By keeping young as a mad hatter
You’ll be the one to deliver

Embody the soul
The sole body

Where one and one and one are one
When one and one and one are one

Something comes along and vies you a bite

Whirling. Twirling. Spinning ever faster
Whipping yourself into a euphoric state
Going round and round and round
Hoping religion will be found

Hiding. Hunting. Hoping for an Easter
Praying resurrection is your fate

Religious ecstasy
Devilish Whirling Dervish
Touching divinity

Make the whirling yours
Make the whirling mine
Create the whirling epiphany
Make the whirling divine

The Mawlaw’Ä«yya / Mevlevi Order, or the Mevlevilik / Mevleviye (Persian: مولويه‎ – MolavÄ«yeh) is a Sufi order founded in Konya (present-day Turkey) by the followers of Jalal ad-Din Muhammad Balkhi-Rumi, a 13th-century Persian poet, Islamic jurist, and theologian. They are also known as the Whirling Dervishes due to their famous practice of whirling as a form of dhikr (remembrance of God).

The Mawlawi believe in performing their dhikr in the form of a “dance” and musical ceremony known as the Sama, which involves the whirling, from which the order acquired its nickname. The Sema represents a mystical journey of man’s spiritual ascent through mind and love to the “Perfect”. Turning towards the truth, the follower grows through love, deserts his ego, finds the truth, and arrives at the “Perfect”. He then returns from this spiritual journey as a man who has reached maturity and a greater perfection, able to love and to be of service to the whole of creation.

Rest In Peace

What do you want to be when you grow up?

Who me? I don’t want to ever grow up

I don’t want to be old

Why would you want to grow old
Why would you want to grow mold
Why would you want to do what you’re told
Why would you want to grow old

You can grow old
You can grow mold
You can rot
You can rust
But, I say “Not”

LYRICS
Waiting with baited breath
We try to narrow the width… the breadth
We’re waiting in anticipation

Time and space alienation
As we close the gap
Even if it’s required to run the extra lap
You know that you can break through
You know it’s something you can do
And, I’m waiting with anticipation

The strangulation of time
Time strangulation
Waiting in anticipation
It’s growing shorter
It’s almost here
You know you can see your way clear
See your way clear
Waiting… not for long
Come on, sing along… waiting with anticipation

You’re the one
When the waiting is done
You’re the winner

Do you remember
All those years ago
When you wondered
About the wonders
Of the world

Go swinging on the monkey bars
Dream up things and shoot for the stars
The days when we’d climb trees
Dream of days when we’d look back at these

Go swimming on hot summer days
Play you guitar and try to amaze
Make paper airplanes fly with the breeze
Dream of days when we’d look back on these
