bookmark_borderThe Show Must Go On!

LYRICS
No, this show doesn’t end
Yes, it always begins
What you get out, you put in
Often starts with the gift
Of your heart

You can sin. You can dance.
Raise your voice. It’s your choice.
In and out. Move about.
Up and down. Move around.

You know this show’s just startin’
Getting ready to begin
What you get out, you put in
Often starts with the gift
Of your heart

You can sin. You can dance.
Raise your voice. It’s your choice.
In and out. Move about.
Up and down. Move around.

Your show at the show startin’ to show
With a skip, hop, n’ $hit eatin’ grin
What you get out, you put in
Often starts with the gift
Of your heart

You can sin. You can dance.
Raise your voice. It’s your choice.
In and out. Move about.
Up and down. Move around.

LYRICS
What do we know?
One and one equals two
Count on me. It is true.
Bring back time to our side
Spread the word far and wide

What do we know?
Two and two equals four
Forever learning more

Bring back hope to our side
Putting love above pride

LYRICS
The skies are starting to clear
No more fear
Time for times to hold dear
Hear here, here
We have now derived
We’ve arrived
We have all survived
We’re alive!

Our parts are getting in gear
To the rear
The future’s growing near
Peer-to-peer
We have now derived
We’ve arrived
We have all survived
We’re alive!

bookmark_borderSpit Wit (a Little too Smart)

LYRICS
The wit would spit
Right out of my mouth
Into instant
Deep $hit
Talking thick
Then, into the thick of it!
Up to your…
What the heck
Up to your neck
’cause of a quick wit
Perplex the dimwit
To my own detriment
A little too smart
Just a little too smart
With all that science and art
Too deeeeeep….

It’s running again (x3)
After all
It was only a stall
Back to begin
Get the run on a roll
Crowd is singin’
Onward! To our Goal!

Slack, tighten

It was only a stall
Back to begin
Get the run on a roll

Back to begin
Get the run on a roll
Crowd is singin’
Onward! To our Goal!

All my time

Sometimes I’ve got to say
It really feels like you’re looking

Pull me through
Pull me through
So grateful for you

bookmark_borderWithin Reach

LYRICS
Do you feel like picking up the pieces
Never ceases
The cracked and shattered thesis
Teared releases
… and peace is….
Just out of reach
Preachers preach
You’re not alone
Bring it on home

Do you feel like things are getting better
Go get her
Are you coming?
Get it in hand
Understand
Its’ within reach
Teachers teach
You’re not along
Bring it on home

LYRICS
Things are starting to shake
As giants start to wake
Feel the ground quake
Civilization’s at stake

On pedestals
Crumble down (to the ground)

Just about everywhere I go
My conscience is sure to follow
Inner feelings acting as a guide
Guess I’m along for the ride

Guess I’m along for the ride

LYRICS
If I knew then
What I know now — been again
Somehow
The “ifs, ands, and buts”
The “what-nots”
In the balance
Of haves and have nots
In the chance of circumstance
Hangs the balance
