A song about going off into the big world to build a home only to realize you are leaving home, so you say, “Mama I’m coming home.”

LYRICS
You can part
You can part
When you’re glowing in the heart
You can part any sea
Turn water to wine
Create a feast for the hungry to dine
(Loaves and fish dish)
The miracles you’ll spark
When you’re glowing in the heart
The hearts you’ll start
When you’re glowing in the dark
Emotional smarts
Spiritual larks
Take flight
Light the night

LYRICS
I was…
Naked. Tied-up.
Bound and gagged
In the back of your mother’s station wagon
Hang-on
Lights are flashing
The spot light is on
Officer says, “What’s going on?”
Now, you’ve changed
How you’ve changed
Your mind rearranged
(You’re) estranged
Oh, no
She went psycho
Joined the Puritan Police
Now, I need a release
Oh, let my daughter go
’cause you know
You went psycho
You use to be some fun
But, now
People run!
You ain’t no superhero
With that super, super ego
No. No. No.
Janet, try your switch
’cause less is on

LYRICS
If you have a care for me
I will have a care for you
Together we can see it through
Weather it through any sea
I must have a care for you
It’s the very least to do
Thank you for helping me to see
Ate compassionate for breakfast
Gotta hunch I’ll have it for lunch
Can you stop by before the supper that’s last?
Feel deep before we’re past
Dive deep into your heart
And, part the see
ABOUT THE SONG
C / F / E
Written and recorded August 25, 2012 in West Chester, Pennsylvania.
It’s about love reciprocity. The album name “Natural Producer” has to do with the engineering and production of the music. Since the music is hoped to be *God Inspired*, names like deity, spirit, divinity, supernatural being and idol producer came to mind; however, that sounded too vain. So, what am I compared to the Supernatural Being Producer?

LYRICS
When you’ve got to pray
What do you sayhttp://idea.membrane.com/songwriter/wp-admin/post.php?post=2068&action=edit
Ask for assistance?
An ass that’s insistent?
Hey, God! What can I do for you today?
God, I pray and I pray there’s a way
I understand you’re short on hands
So, before I pass away
What can I do for you today?

LYRICS
Transposing letters to numbers
Transposing the numbers into my name
While intelligence slumbers
It’s turned into a mental game
Don’t give up
Half empty or half full is your cup?
Don’t give up
When they try to give you the run-around
You know the answer can be found
No matter the resistance
Win them over with persistence
Don’t give up
Put you on hold ’till you grow mold
Ask you to please, please, please wait
Nooooo… don’t drop the line yet another time
We shall overcome without hate
Don’t give up
Half empty or half full is your cup?
Don’t give up

If you believe that everything will turn out alright
It might
When you are sincere… above fear… a natural delight

With the wings of an angel, you’ll take flight

Positive thinking: Reduce stress by eliminating negative self-talk
Positive thinking helps with stress management and can even improve your health.
By Mayo Clinic staffIs your glass half-empty or half-full? How you answer this age-old question about positive thinking may reflect your outlook on life, your attitude toward yourself, and whether you’re optimistic or pessimistic — and it may even affect your health.
Indeed, some studies show that personality traits like optimism and pessimism can affect many areas of your health and well-being. The positive thinking that typically comes with optimism is a key part of effective stress management. And effective stress management is associated with many health benefits. If you tend to be pessimistic, don’t despair — you can learn positive thinking skills.

LYRICS
When needed
The Good come together
Combined
Faith in humanity
Then, greeted
By God. All together. Aligned.
Clarity transparency
Spirits drifting together
Arise the tide
Faith from the inside
Washing cruelty out
The angels shout
The stars shine brighter
Then ever before
A the love comes together
Forever more
Making love to love to love to love to love….

Written and recorded August 22, 2012 in West Chester, Pennsylvania. It is based on a quote from the Book Of Daniel:
Daniel 12
New International Version (NIV)
The End Times12 “At that time Michael, the great prince who protects your people, will arise. There will be a time of distress such as has not happened from the beginning of nations until then. But at that time your people—everyone whose name is found written in the book —will be delivered. 2 Multitudes who sleep in the dust of the earth will awake: some to everlasting life, others to shame and everlasting contempt. 3 Those who are wise will shine like the brightness of the heavens, and those who lead many to righteousness, like the stars for ever and ever. 4 But you, Daniel, roll up and seal the words of the scroll until the time of the end. Many will go here and there to increase knowledge.”

LYRICS
Though optimum would be ideal
That “I am” has enough appeal
Since for the wicked there is no rest
Pray, say and sway toward the best
Optimism — me
You
Look through the clouds
And, the sky is blue
And, the sky above is blue
Let the light shine through
Past the silver lining
It’s all in the timing
Optimismme
See the light shine though
Beautiful view

LYRICS
There’s a line to your body
We could start with your neck
It feels fine going down your spine
The touch of a feather ever so lightly
Wondering what to expect
Where does the line go?
Follow the flow
Drifting past the small of your back
Where does the line go?
Follow the flow
Maybe we should start with your lips
At the ends, curving up so slightly
To unseal the kiss of a smile
Up past your ear, then veer toward the rear
Where does the line go?
Follow the flow
Who knows… if we start with your nose
Over the ledge of the chin’s edge
Through the passage of the cleavage
And, after all, drifting pass the navel
You’re drawing a fine line
I want to know
Where does it go
Where does it flow

Invest in your hope. Invest in your dream.
Invest with your love. Show us what you mean.
Invest with charity. You bring love clarity.

Invest in your hope. Invest in your dream.
Then, they do come true.
The last thing you want is to feel all sad and blue.
Instead, fill your head — dreams do come true.
Achievement is met by return on investment
Achievement is meant by return on investment
God is investing in RO-you
Show Her what you can do
[For the maximum
Believe I am]

LYRICS
I’ve been told… I’ve been told (before I was too old)… I’ve been told… you can
Take a little love and spread it all over the world
Spread it on bread
‘neath the bedspread
Anywhere you want to
Even in your head
Take it. Give it. Take it. Spread it!
Take a little love and spread it all over the world
Spread it on the ceiling
Spread it on the floor
Spread it. Spread it. Spread it ’till they beg for more
Spread it. Spread it. Spread it ’till you’re folklore
Take a little love and spread it all over the world
Spread it on with feeling
Spread it on a S’more
Spread the warm and fuzzy. Penetrate the core!
Believe me if you spread it you’ll never be a bore
Take a little love and spread it all over the world
Come on, come on
Spread it on…
Take a little love like a baby
Not a wanna be. Not a maybe.
Take a little love and spread it all over the world

Tune in
Can I connect to the frequency?
(Is this correct can I connect?)
Can I see the deity
I want to talk to God
Tick, tick, tick, tock
(Of your lifetime clock)
I just got to listen
I am here and I hear!
What if God is listening to us?
If we don’t discuss the fuss
Instead we try to shush
Shh… shh… She’s listening
I’m here and I hear
Right
Here
Right here
I’m human
I can and I am
No one else has to die on a cross
No more martyrs
Hey, you
I’m here and I hear
Right
Here
Right here
Wait for me
ABOUT
Em
A song about two-way communications with God instead of just broadcasting at Her. That is to say — pondering on prayer. Have you ever thought that “You can’t just say when you pray.”
