Peace Flow.mp3

LYRICS
How can someone just turn and walk away?
It’s become the way of our day
Haven’t you anything more to say?
How can anyone just turn and walk away?

Chorus
May the peace roll down every mountain
Through the valley
To the sea
May the peace spout out like a fountain
Raining down on you and me
Reigning down on you and me

How can someone not even care?
They don’t have a dime or the time to spare
Making a statement about how life’s not fair
How can anyone claim they’re unaware?

LYRICS
Thunder and lightning
The way you strike me is heightening
Thunder and lightning
The most spectacular lighting

The storm clouds are rolling in
Watch the sky darken
Through the darkness the brightest light
Watch the lightning strike strike

Then, as quick as that
The skies clear
You wonder what
Happened here

At the trike of midnight
Or the strike of lightning
Quirst whichever comes first

LYRICS
Does it matter
Does it matter not?
It ain’t gonna matter
If you choose knot

Tied up in yourself
Is no way to eternal health
Tied up in “me, my, mine”
Is no way to spend your time

Don’t take the low road
Please take the high
If you try, there’s a chance we’ll all get by

LYRICS
Walking up hill… against the wind
It’s hard to explain where to begin
Heaven or hell… Lord knows I’ve sinned
Just glad I remain whole within

If you wanna get to society hill
And, you’re prepared to kill
You’d be better off by far
By choosing not to mar

Walking’s a skill… all humans find
Your first real pain since you began
It’s hard to tell less you’ve been in that bind
Watcha can’t or watcha can

LYRICS
In a binary world
You’re made up of ones and zeros
You’re either with villains
Or, heroes

A black and white world
Of laughter and of tears
You’ll either be chillin’
Or, full of your fears

Might as well live in a fanciful fantasy
I’m livin’ my life
For todays and tomorrows
No sense livin’ in a redundant factory
I’m lovin’ my life
Of todays and tomorrows

Just wait ’till after dark
Catch sight of the spark
The flight of the lark
Stop! Look! Hark!

As dusk turns to dark you can make your mark
You’ll see after dark
The glow of an eye bright in the night. (Sight!)
You’ll see after dark

As lust turns to love you get to embark
You’ll see after dark
There is you and I… going on our insight
You’ll see after dark

Just hit the panic button
That’s all you need do
Just hit the panic button
For an aid parade to you

You tune into the news
Things you’re seeing
Giving you the blues
Lightning! Fire!
Armageddon desire?
You tune into the news
The things that’re being
Making us lose
Frightening! Liar!

This song was inspired by an Eyewitness News Channel 3 Philadelphia crew filming in West Chester, PA.  And, since I invented the panic button for the world wide web, it seemed like an entertaining idea.

LYRICS
When I was carefree
I was board
I asked the Lord, “What for?”

When I was carefree
It was lame
I asked the Lord, “What’s the game?”

Chorus
When I was carefree
Nothing bothering me was bothering me

When I was carefree
It was horrid
I asked God, “Spare the rod!”

When I was carefree
Life was empty
I asked God, “Please spare me!”

Chorus

When you’re carefree are you careless?
When you’re carefree do you care less?

Don’t ever give up your will to live
Forever live a life to give

Spread the love like a contagious disease
I beg you… I’m begging… begging of you please

Bestow the love so that it may grow
I plead to you… plead until you know

At the cost of blood
One Forty-Four K naught

Chorus
In the Age of waste not, want not
We let the land of plenty rot
The last page… the last astronaut
Engage in rage… love’s forgot

We engage in rage and the love is forgot

One foot under water
The other in the grave
Worse than pigs, for sure
The way we behave

Until we all die

This song was written after I read a government report that said over 144,000 people a year are dieing from human induced climate change.  Then, I went to a favorite songwriting spot… and it was flooded higher than I’d ever seen.
