Christmas Night.mp3

LYRICS
Searching to see
L. O. V. E.
Harking to hear
“Nothing to fear”
By the glow of candle light
In the know on Christmas night

People everywhere
Get together to share
Where ever they live
Willing to give

Let’s seek the meek
Help peak the weak
Shower those lower
With our hour of power

Time for bed
Lay your head
I thank you…
Yes, I do

By the glow of candle light
In the know on Christmas night

LYRICS
If there’s a mountain
That’s interruptin’
I guess she’ll have to move
There can be no mountain
That’s interruptin’
Must confess my love
To you
Movin’ mountain
(Mountain movin’)
’til that mountain’s
More mole hole
Movin’ mountain
I will move earth and sky
’til the angels cry
Making mountains
Into mole hills
And for thrills
Sparkling fountains

bookmark_borderIf n’ When

LYRICS
Here we stand
With our feet in the sand
Watching the tide roll out
Wonderin’ if it will roll in again?
Rollin’ in again… wonderin’ if n’ when
Wonderin’ if it will roll in again?

What about if it does
Rise higher than it was
On the horizon
The tide keeps risin’
They revel about the sea level
Well, not being level
Trending upward on land disheveled

What’s up? Are you sure
Where the land and “see” merge
You land submerged at the shore
… forevermore

If n’ When.mp3

bookmark_borderSlices Of Pi

LYRICS
Feeling that it’s out of you hands?
Let’s turn it around
Turn it around
Feeling that nobody understands?
Let’s give ’em a hand
Show ’em around
The least we can do
… introduce them to you
Pass the connection through

You and I
Slices of the π
Puzzle peaces
Species under sky
Interconnected
Effected habitat (imagine that)
Clearly clinging to gravity
Can you see?

Can you capture
The big picture
Conjecture the texture
Of our structure
Can you picture?

bookmark_borderSaying

LYRICS
If the dream seems too serene
Listen to the inside
To hear the silent scream

The proof is in the pudding
The cream rises to the top
What good is a saying
From here to the ear STOP

Has time come for you to run
No place to hide?
Nerves come undone

Understand the bird-in-hand
Wouldn’t have died
If she didn’t land

Making haste ain’t making waste
Wont subside
No taste for paste

Toward sunset with no regret
Been a great ride
That I’ll never forget

bookmark_borderA Golden Opportunity

LYRICS
Just like that
Snatched away
No way?
Do say…
Imagine that
Starting to fray
No way?
Do say…

A golden opportunity
Is coming your way
Acquired immunity
Welcoming pay day
(Welcome in!)

Just like that
You’ e got it back
OK! Do say…
Imagine that
Picked-up slack
No way?
OK!

Just like that
You’re giving away
No way?
Do say…
Imagine that
Made from clay
No way?
Do say…

Just like that
Could be gone
No way
I pray
Imagine that
Right or wrong
Someday…
I’ll lay

bookmark_borderThe Virtue Of VirtYou

LYRICS
Ride with the tide
Who knows…
Whichever way the wind blows?
Rise on arise
Time flows
On the space continuum
… I am
At the mercy of forces
Far beyond me
I see
There’s much more to the virtue
Of “be”
Is the alignment true
Truly true in me
Ahhh…. the virtue in you
Alignment true?

Roll towards the goal
Take control
Avoid the blackhole
Eyes on the prize
Time bends
Around the gravity of me
Vibe sends
Time curves
Nerves converge
Energy conserves

LYRICS
Name calling naming
Finger pointing blaming
Self-incriminating
Evidence is damning
worthless shaming
Hate abandoning timing

The call went out around the world
And everybody heard
For evidence that’s granite
Solid rock understand it
For evidence that’s granted
We all live on one planet

Civil responsibility
Please don’t abandon me
Together make reality
A place that we want to be
Take my hand… come let’s “we”
Humans in humanity
One planet
Plan it?
Plan it
Planet planted

Please listen to this
“Merry Christmas!”
Here’s wishing you a very merry Christmas
Clearly, a very merry Christmas
Winter solstice bliss

bookmark_borderOminousness (with a Happy Ending)

LYRICS
As the warlords breed
Weapons of mass destruction
The warlords believe
Here upon is the resurrection
Then the warlords breathe
A breath of foul distinction
As they rile in the bile
Of denial
Drown in the flood
Of the spilt blood
Gnarl and bite
Taking sight
Blind to the kind
Grind, spit and spew
They do
Their toll in human soul
The sole consuming sole
Flashes of light
Off in the night

To guard the gates of eternity
From their mortality
To guard morality
From hypocrisy
Bring the soul out of the shadow
Through any age onto the stage
Life is but a show
Ominous us
Omnipresence
Stardust
Omnipresent present

December Snow

So, you know…
When we witness the Lord sow snow
See a glimpse of beauty
Ohhhh…
Snow
Turn the dark to bright
Absorb the sound
Reflect the light
Peace is found
Clinging tight
So, Lord, sow snow!
Ohhh….
Snow
Looking back at my track
Into the virgin snow I go
So, Lord, sow snow
Ohhh…
Snow
Let the crystals flow
Ohhh…

LYRICS
Do you mean
We’re (fighting) on the same team
Fighting death
To the death
What do you say
Come out and play
Today
The game in the garden
Separate(s) boys from men

The more you age
Haste to the stage
Committal service
Fighting death
To the death
As you grow old
Wisdom be told
The dying are nervous
Fighting death
To the death

From the heart sung
Forever young

Hey! Hey!
What can I say
OK? OK!
Hey? Hey! This day
Feed the donkey
See… he heehaw
Picked up his hammer and saw
Winter freeze, spring thaw
In awe of all
Should have seen what I saw
Winter freeze, spring thaw
In heat
Enthrall
To the beat
Ethereal
Surreal
Human ordeal
