LYRICS
Say something nice?
Please say it twice
Might as well go all out
And give it a shout

Went out of your way
Just so you could say
Nice
Entice

Nice
Entice
The day

Putting a smile
On your fact
Lifts us a mile
Your Earth’s grace

Chorus

ABOUT THE SONG
This song was inspired by people on the street. As I was writing the song in front of the old courthouse in West Chester, PA, a lady went out of her way to say, “Nice!” Then, a young girl walked by… turning her neck like an owl with an ear-to-ear smile.

LYRICS
If the chord sounds blue
Here’s what you can do
Get out of just you
Follow the know right through

Rearrange the change

If the sword runs through
Here’s what you can do
Try to stop the flow
And pray you can re-grow

Rearrange the change

As far as I can see
There’s more than me
To be true
Ya gotta be you

Chorus
If the fox is in the hen house
There’s no time to sleep
The pigs will start to squeal
n’ reveal the real deal

As far as I can see
If ya wanna be free
It is true
Ya gotta be you

The fox is in the Whitehouse
Eating the little sheep
Pigs feast on the lamb scam
n’ reveal the real deal

Flutter by as they through the sky

Off to find a new home
One with ones that roam

Part of the natural mystery

Dance on top of the flowers
Skating over the surface
Soaking in all the hours
With a soul and a face
Take in a love embrace

The sun comes through the showers
Lighting the Earth’s surface
Soaking in all the our’s
Adding soul to the face
Take in a love embrace

Take-in a love embrace
Taking a love embrace

LYRICS
We’re living here quite happily
Don’t you cry for me
No, no sense feeling pity
Don’t you cry for me

Oh no please don’t be sad
I love the days we’ve had
Oh yes please do be glad
This life ain’t half bad

Oh no please don’t be mad
I love the ways of fad
Oh yes seize the moment
That the Lord for movement

Unfortunately,
Found in the thick of sick

Does your head hang heavy
Thick as a brick?

… in the thick of sick
Found in the thick of sick
Come ’round

Quick,
Let’s get you out of there…
Fortunately

A ground swell of well
A well of goodwill
Well, good
Freewill
Until

LYRICS
Live from KingArthur.com with an important public service announcement:

I’d like to take this opportunity to remind all of you fine citizens out there in TV-land…
Don’t forget to tip the bartender
Don’t forget to tip the waitresseses

I’d like to tip the waitresses
… I’d like to tip the waitresseses
For making us tipsy
A tip for making us tipsy

If you just showed up
Raise a cup
Here’s what’s up
Don’t forget to tip the waitresseses
A tip for getting us tipsy

Now, I think I’ll walk home….
Maybe… if it’s not an inconvenience I’ll just sleep on your couch. I could sleep on the floor… you don’t need to worry… I’ll lock the door… on my out.
I could lock up?

Raise a cup
A tip to the waitresses

Don’t forget the bartender
Yeah, that’s a hard job… listening to all of our wine… ya know… we go into such detail… blah, blah, blah….

LYRICS
If you listen to Her words
They’re like a whisper on the wind

Wind whisperer
Bestow to know
Wind whisperer
Ebb and flow

Time and Tide waits for no man
(no man’s land)
There’s no time to understand
(no man’s land)

Ride the tide
Wings of windshear
Ride the slide
Soul of atmosphere

The path is clear

No God to fear

Until the day I die

LYRICS
The Delaware is running high
Thanks to the banks
For keeping us dry

While on the other side, the well runs dry
While where the well runs dry they cry,
“Is salvation hiding nearby?”

Flanks of the ranks
Make trying a try
While on the other side, Fat Cats — big, fat & wide

ABOUT THIS SONG

If you’re going to talk the talk
Better make sure you can walk the walk
To get what we teach to reach

What we seek to sink in deep

Start to think I can see the kingdom come come
When we start to find, sail n’ then some
Start to think I can see the kingdom come come
