Posted on by admin

LYRICS
How I long for the winter’s cold
Ice skates
Snowflakes
Stories told
By the fireside
Seasons tide

Do you long for the winter’s cold
Snow days
Holidays
Stories told
By the fireside
Seasons tide

Start to long for Christmases old
Days were merry… winter’s cold
By the fireside
Seasons tide

Bring on tidings of joy
Bringing on tidings of joy

Posted on by admin

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!

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Wait till we see what’s in store
Like nothing we’ve seen before?
Mountains are moving… seas rising
Nonetheless, surprising
Terra’s uprising
Shakes all belief
Terra’s uprising
A natural relief

Wait till we see what’s to be
Like something we’ve yet to see
Mountains are moving… seas rising
Nonetheless, surprising
Terra’s uprising
Shakes all belief
Terra’s uprising
A natural relief

Wait till we get the meaning
Habitat needs cleaning
Mountains are moving… seas rising
Nonetheless, surprising
Terra’s uprising
Shakes all belief
Terra’s uprising
A natural relief

Posted on by admin

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

bookmark_borderPull Us Through

Posted on by admin

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.

LYRICS
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
If you know what I mean?

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?

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?

Calling all girls and boys
Gather ’round here

Oh, grandchild
Look what I’ve done
Tamed the wild

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
What lengths to go to to find you
When you’re already there
Right out in front in plain view
So far, yet oh so near
Pinch me to see if I can see

What lengths to go to to find you
To see if you see me
Right out in front in plain view
So far, yet not nearly
Pinch me to see if I can see

When lengths are more behind you
When you’ve already passed
Still out in front in plain view
Before I fade to past
Pinch me to see if I can see

Did you bring the Bayou with you?

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Christmas approaching
Christmas approaching
Will I remember Merry Gentlemen
Too late for Tiny Tim…
… on the way to heaven
Take a piece of earth
Or give peace on Earth?
Consider human’s worth
And the meaning of birth

Christmas approaching
Christmas approaching
Well past September
The leaves have fallen
Can’t forget again
To help the appalling
Take a piece of earth
Or give peace on Earth?
Consider human’s worth
And the meaning of birth

Christmas approaching
Christmas approaching
Feeling the part
Of the Grinch That Stole Christmas
Alas,
With added Scrooge Attitude
Take a piece of earth
Or give peace on Earth?
Consider human’s worth
And the meaning of birth

A real life red nosed reindeer
with Santa Claus in tow
A story I hold dear to me
The story… do you know?

Dasher and Dancer and Prancer and Vixen

Standards are dropping
As the need’s popping
Mouths are calling
Morals falling
Understand

Comprehend

Can get us through

Jaws are dropping
As the greed’s popping
Mouths are pleading
Spirits bleeding
Understand
(All over the land)
Comprehend
(To understand)

Can get us through

People dropping
Hearts are stopping
Mouths are crying
Stop our dying
Understand

Comprehend

What you do
Can get us through\
