LYRICS
After seeing no trace
Is that your caring face
Save the human race
All that jet fuel’s
Coming back to bite you
Right now
Tell those climate fools
How you’re gonna right it
Somehow

Realizing disgrace
Is that your concerned face
Save the human race
All that fossil fuel’s
Coming back to bite you
Right now
Tell those climate fools
How you’re gonna right it
Somehow

Be our saving grace
Put on your brave face
Save the human race
Don’t let the fools
Coming back to bite us
Right now
Tell those climate fools
How we’re gonna right it
Somehow

Save the… save the… save the human race

bookmark_borderWhat’s Left

LYRICS
As it warms
Climate warns
The thin ice
Sliding on the precipice
The point we need to press
We made the mess
Better make the best
Of what’s left

As it thaws
Dropping jaws
The thin ice
Sliding on the precipice
The point we need to press
We made the mess
Better make the best
Of what’s left

As it melts
Tighten belts
The thin ice
Sliding on the precipice
The point we need to press
We made the mess
Better make the best
Of what’s left

Almost gone
Won’t be long
No more ice
Sinking in the precipice
The point we need to press
We made the mess
Better make the best
Of what’s left

bookmark_borderIn Sheer Delight

LYRICS
From the early, early morning
’til the late, late night
You can hear I’m playing
In sheer delight

In sheer delight
Come clear insight
Idea ignite
In sheer delight

How much music can we make
Before we even reach daybreak
When that sun comes into sight
Hear us playing in sheer delight
In sheer delight
Come clear insight
Idea ignite
In sheer delight

From high noon to late afternoon
Making music can’t come too soon
Into the dark don’t need a light
we’re playing in sheer delight
In sheer delight
In sheer delight
Come clear insight
Idea ignite
In sheer delight

bookmark_borderA Sixth Sense

LYRICS
Have you ever been
Swimming in the ocean
In a pool
In a school
Somehow seeming to know
How to go with the flow
A sixth sense
Of the essence
In the present
Expecting how it will go
In the flow

Imagine riding on a dragonfly
I just saw two passing by
Thinking of their point-of-view
Flying high to kiss the sky
Can you imagine, too?
A sixth sense
Of the essence
In the present
Expecting how it will go
In the flow

Chords: Em7 Am7 Em7 / Dm Am7 Em7
Instrumentation: Vocals, Guitar, Keyboard (Kurzweil)
An improvisational song written and recorded to a digital 6-track at Lake Wynonah while watching fish and dragonflies.

LYRICS
Can you ask her
If she has a dulcimer?
Can you ask him
If he can hum a hymn?
Everyone’s welcome
To come join in
We can spend all day
On the porch and play
Wadda ya say?
Come on out on the porch
And play
Come on out and play
Anyway
Come on out on the porch
Today
Come on out and play
Any way

My rhythm’s a lil’ lean
Do you have a tambourine?
If I had my choice
I’d love to add your voice
Sing it again
Everyone’s welcome
To come join in
We can spend all day
On the porch and play
Wadda ya say?
Come on out on the porch
And play

Chords: E E7 / A C B7 E / G A E

bookmark_borderUpdraft

LYRICS
Particle derived raindrops arise
The mass amassed depends on size
Caught in the updraft
Cycle round
Before coming down
In a wrath

Evaporate
At an ever increasing rate
Participate
A pounding precipitate
Caught in the updraft
Cycle round
Before coming down
In a wrath

What goes up must come down
Bob and weave… avoid the crown
Caught in the updraft
Cycle round
Before coming down
In a wrath

The moral of the story
Don’t belittle
The vision and the glory
Of Chicken Little
Caught in the updraft
Cycle round
Before coming down
In a wrath

LYRICS
See the rays are finally breaking through
Totally changing my point of view
I’m beginning to see the light

Just in time for sunshine
To put insight in sight
I’m beginning to see the light

Living out my dreams
Just keeps getting better
Giving as the dream
Never the regretter
Sow the seems
Of “so it seems”
Give the dream
Of live the dream

It’s a dream come true
Living out the dreams
Share with all the view
Sow the seems
Of “so it seems”

Of live the dream

Living out our dreams
Sending out love letters
Giving as the dream
Just keeps getting better

bookmark_borderWhat I Was Looking For

LYRICS
Thought I knew what I was looking for
Till I caught a glimpse in the mirror
Came to realize there’s so much more
Ought to know where I was headed to
All for naught… I have no clue
Come with real eyes to find you
Find the timing
And come to know
Light that’s shining
Into the glow

Followed the roads both far and near
Took till now to start coming clear
All this time I’ve been right here
Swallowed pride… wiped egg from face
Found out how to love embrace
All this time it’s been in place
Find the timing
And come to know
Light that’s shining
Into the glow

LYRICS
Is it all coming…
Is it all coming…

Is the undumbing…

To fear
In the rear
All coming…
Clear, near, here
If we start to steer

LYRICS
Did you know that there’s a rainbow
Did you know…
It’s right outside your window
Have you ever thought
About looking out
Or have you bought
Into casting doubt?

Did you know that there’s a rainbow
Did you know…
It’s right outside your window
Have you ever sought
About finding out
Or have you bought
Into saying “not”

Did you know that there’s a rainbow
Did you know…
It’s right outside your window
Have you ever brought
About changing doubt
Did you shout out
What it’s about?

LYRICS
Is this the way it’s suppose to be
With what degree of certainty
What makes you think
We are doing the right thing
Watch shore/sure lines sink
Do you think pigs take wing?

Is this the way it’s suppose to be
With what degree of certainty
With chagrin
The same mistake again
Dash our last hope
Smokin’ free-dumb dope

Is this the way it’s suppose to be
With what degree of certainty
Stand and salute
Egos and vanity
Spew and pollute
Madness… insanity

LYRICS
Deal with the hand I’m dealt
Lead with mind over felt
But those that go with their gut
… wish them the best of luck
Is your odd-ometer
Rolling over again?

Got real with he hand dealt
Made decisions heart felt
Though some may think it’s nuts
There’s no ifs, ands, nor buts
Is your odd-ometer
Rolling over again?
Thermometer of fever ragin’

LYRICS
When we’ve all got a problem with give
Then we’ve all got a problem with live
How much more can we take
No air left to share
Drinking water — beware
Until there’s none there
Can’t take fake

When we’ve all got a problem with give
Then we’ve all got a problem with live
How much more can we take
Said no-no to the dodo
And what about the rhino?
Come on Man! I don’t know
Can’t take fake

When we’ve all got a problem with give
Then we’ve all got a problem with live
How much more can we take
Took the glaciers (that’s for sure)
Hard to imagine what can endure
Take to took till there’s no more
Can’t take fake
