LYRICS
What the heck is privilege
Do you believe you can have an edge?
Smelling all hubris inside
Draped in a cape of pride
Don’t you know
The first are the first to go
The last surpass
… at last

Up to our eyeballs in sludge
Stubborn mule won’t even budge
Trying to rule — overlord
In the kingdom of absurd

Chorus

As I gain the knowledge
The classes drive a wedge
Take the poverty pledge
And, your bets hedge

LYRICS
Help! I heard you call my name
How can life ever be the same?

You brought me into this world
Might as well stay ’til I checkout
I rot as I grow old
Gotta fight to win this bout

Chorus

Sooner or later we’re all going to die
Later not sooner is how I’m going to try
The next time I see ya… I’d like to say “hi”
Beats tears and fears of saying “good-bye”

bookmark_borderOur Time

LYRICS
The smile on your face
The loving embrace
It’s heart warming
Enduring

When I began to figure it out
I was just a little sprout
Couldn’t help but to laugh and grin
If I could, I’d do it over again

Then as I started to grow
Wasn’t hard for me to get to know
Taking time to smile with you
Adversity we’d get through

Time goes by and I grow old
Hopefully when my story is told
It’ll bring a smile to your face
Remembering the time we enjoyed in this place

There’s been a natural (nature) release
Have a… won’t you… won’t you please
Have a nice day

Flourishing flora and fauna fulfill
I believe… I believe I will
Perceive… I will do it today

The sun came out
The sky turned blue
Good cheer’s about
How about you?

Happening supernatural release
Have a… won’t you please
Please have a piece/peace
Just the place I love to go
Hearts and souls overflow
The kind-of show ya wanna get to know
Reap the seeds you sow

LYRICS
I don’t want you to go
I don’t want you to stay
And, that’d be OK on any other day

No silent treatment
Nor irate rant
Fear that you can… fear that you can’t

Woke up this morning
The sun was gone
It wouldn’t be long ’til you came along
The sky goes dark
As you embark
Love charade raining on my parade

LYRICS
Try to lift my head
To see what lies ahead
Forget about being skeptical
There’s no obstacle

I heard it said
We can raise the dead
Not so magical
As it is mystical

As the edge you hone
Pull a sword from a stone
Forget the lackadaisical
You’re inspirational

Chorus

Once the Spirit’s fed
We’ll let Her lead be led
No matter how near or how far
We’ll follow to spectacular

LYRICS
Would you mind turning it up a notch, please?
Though I find it pleasant, I’m thinking it’s only a tease
See if you can give the volume a little nudge
Then, give a push on the tempo… see if she’ll budge

LYRICS
Is the same old story growing old… growing old
A new set of words needs to be told… to be told

It’s time the scribe prescribed
Subscription to a new prescription
An evolution of elevation
Time to prescribe — higher vibe

Diarrhea diary to be so bold… be so bold
A load of crap to be sold… to be sold

Chorus

Journalize the times with good news… with good news
Give the people the choice and let them choose… let them choose

LYRICS
Just because I’m rather small
Doesn’t mean I can’t see at all
Letting the third-eye ascend
Rising up toward heaven

Flying high
Gonna find out why
We’re destined to die
Yet, we try, try, try

Just because I’m a tiny speck
Doesn’t mean I don’t give a heck
Gonna stand up tall
Appreciate it all… quash the squall

Chorus

Just because I might be insignificant
Doesn’t mean I won’t give every little bit
Reaching deep within
Letting the love shower begin

LYRICS
The times are changing… changing fast
Won’t be long ’till the future’s past
Yeah, time is changing… sure hope it’ll last
But you can’t hang on….
Better off letting go
Better off… just let it flow

The times are changing… to the future we go
Won’t be long ’till the future we know
Yeah, time moves faster until I slow
Use to be my lifetime was a whole year
Now a year’s a fraction of my time here

LYRICS
Come out of the dark
Meet me in the park
We’ll frolic, dance and play
In the light all day
And, when the sun does set
We won’t be done yet
Gaining insight into the night

Let’s shift out of park
Into drive… embark
We’ll frolic, dance and play
In the light all day

Chorus

Come out on a lark
Imagination spark
We’ll frolic, dance and play
In the light all day

LYRICS
Hate to break the news
Hate to pick n’ choose
Hate to break the knews
You didn’t earn the blues

Hate to break the news
Hate to pick n’ choose
Hate to break the knews
You don’t deserve the blues

All the time you try
Wasted moments ’till we die
Personal pie-in-the-sky
Question your existence — why?

Hate to break the news
Hate to pick n’ choose
Hate to break the knews
You didn’t earn the blues

Without selfishness
Devoid of ignorance
Never pretentious
No arrogance
