bookmark_borderMy Little Angel

LYRICS
On what may be the darkest night
I can still see the light
A little angel
Looks over my shoulder
My little angel
Guiding me older

’cause if I die way too young
How my heart’d come undone
On what may be the darkest night
I can still see the light
A little angel
Looks over my shoulder
My little angel
Guiding me older

Saw me through both thick and thin
So I may do it again
’cause if I die way too young
How my heart’d come undone
On what may be the darkest night
I can still see the light
A little angel
Looks over my shoulder
My little angel
Guiding me older

LYRICS
She suggests
But, I digress….

She suggests
A little finesse
But, I’m so confused
How can the blues be bliss?
So, tell me this

What’d I miss
Miss,
You suggest
A little finesse?

She suggests
But, I digress….

When confronted with puzzles and problems
Scratch my head… go to work and try n’ solve ’em
There’s an answer
Waiting right there

Then think again
And, we’ll be sowing
A solution evolution

LYRICS
Agreed in deed
Encroach warp speed
Eye popping
No stopping
Jam dropping feed
No fool with fuel
Going to make it last
Slingshot orbit
Will go past fast
Now we’re wailing
Solar sailing

Most often found
That the Earth is bound
To come round
Run round and round and round and round the sun
Come to know the star of the show
And, go!

Wait till we see what’s in store
Like nothing we’ve seen before?
Mountains are moving… seas rising
Nonetheless, surprising

Wait till we see what’s to be
Like something we’ve yet to see
Mountains are moving… seas rising
Nonetheless, surprising

Wait till we get the meaning
Habitat needs cleaning

Have you ever seen…
Ever been part of that scene
Have you ever been
And now once again
Have you ever been
Scene

Ever seen
Ever been seen/scene

If a tree falls
And no one’s there to hear it
Can the forest be seen
Through the fallen trees
Questions such as these
A sound
If no one’s around
Questions such as these
If nature calls
And no one’s here to hear it
Can it be serene?

LYRICS
If the sky is falling, falling
What are we going to do
Start to cry then balling
Doubt will pull us through
Thoughts and prayers
Doomed to failure
Perhaps a change in our behavior?

If the streets are flooding, flooding
What are we going to do
Eat meat or no pudding
Doubt will pull us through
Thoughts and prayers
Doomed to failure
Perhaps a change in our behavior?

If the storms are raging, raging
What are we going to do
Ignore it while we’re aging
Doubt will pull us through
Thoughts and prayers
Doomed to failure
Perhaps a change in our behavior?

A song about global warming and extreme weather events.

Under sky of blue
How ’bout you
Are you feeling blue?
Here is something
To get you through —
Dab of yellow will do
You’ll be the envy of the scene
Turning green

Over sea of blue
How ’bout you
Are you feeling blue?
Here is something
To get you through —
Dab of yellow will do
You’ll be the envy of the scene
Turning green
If you know what I mean?

On planet of blue
How ’bout you
Are you feeling blue?

You’ll be the envy of the scene
Turning green
If you know what I mean?

Where else could you be

Oh, grandchild
Look what I’ve done
Tamed the wild
Nature’s undone
May your days be merry and bright
May all your Christmases be white!

May your days be merry and bright
May all your Christmases be white!
