LYRICS
Yes, Mama, it’s true
You are growing old, too
That’s the value
Of loving the whole time through
My Mother, the sun is shinning bright
My Mother, can you still see the light?

Yes, Mama, bones disintegrating
Yes, Mama, most devastating
Yes, Mama, the ear won’t hear
Yes, Mama, the plight of sight

Yes, Mama, it’s true
You are growing old, too
That’s the value
Of loving the whole time through
In the end, you get what you give
Cherish every moment you live
My Mother, the sun is shinning bright
My Mother, can you still see the light?

LYRICS
Rat in a cage
Rat in a maze
Amazed?!?!
Rat race road rage
Press the lever
Get your fix
Best be clever
Or shocks n’ tricks
Caught up in the rat race
Gotta try n’ keep the pace
Gave up the human race
To a de-evolved place
Thought you thought outside the box…
Or are you bound… chains and locks?

LYRICS
Cloud came down
To surround
All around
The cog didn’t recognize
The cog didn’t realize
Cog in a fog
In the mist-like dream
A pawn in the machine

See the light?
Have to fight
‘ta keep upright
I did not recognize
I did not realize
Surrounded by fog
In the mist-like dream
A pawn in the machine
Still the will — checkmate the King
Never too late to do something
Take responsibility for my being

I Have That Feeling.mp3

LYRICS
Why do I have the feeling
That we’ve been here before
Wow! It’s so revealing
Seeing what we’ve in store
A sneaky suspicion
That I’ll come to adore
Love a premonition
Hope to have some more

When you were young you would play
You would play throughout the day
Yearning for earning the learning…
All the way

[Wait! Hang on a minute. Wait for me!]

Hone the intuition
For the miracle of vision
Listen to the gut
No if, and or but
Leaving from the station
Better get on-board
A progressive situation
Thank you! Thank you, oh Lord

ABOUT THE SONG
A song about the secret to the fountain of youth — youth. When you are young, you learn through playing. When you are young, you have amazing powers of intuition. Keep playing.

LYRICS
Flirting with disaster
Am I the slave
Am I the master
Recipe for atrocity
To superiority wave
Bye-bye
Suicide blue sky
Sung tongue of lizard, “blizzard!”
Snowflakes undertake
For all that’s at stake
Expandability of humanity
Density diversity
All the colors in the hue
Including me and you

LYRICS
This is no dream
Weather extreme
Not a matter of whether
This is extreme weather
What’s the message Mother Nature’s sending
Warning! Warning! Major storm pending
There’s a Nor’easter brewing
Climate change what are you doing?

Sunny, snowing, pouring
The old man is snoring
Finds Fake News alluring
Finds global warming boring
What’s the lesson Mother Nature’s teaching
Warning! Warning! Storm water’s breaching (surging)
Keep grasping for straws… keep reaching
No help crying, praying nor preaching

LYRICS
Don’t know if I’ve tried everything lucid
No, don’t know if I did
Super ego, ego and id
Living in their own world… splendid
Or, splendor… elevator to grandeur
Starts at the ground floor
That is for sure
Better save your soul
For your body will not endure
Talkin’bout life’s goal
Save my soul

Don’t know if life is but a dream
The surreal scene that I gleam
Too many sad folk or so it would seem
Are earthlings all on the same team?
Seems that the plant, elephant and ant
In harmony, they chant
So who’s to say we can’t
Earthlings sing… sing earthling!
Don’t know if life is but a dream
Drifting, drifting… floating upstream

Scene From A Dream.mp3

LYRICS
In a scene from The Dream
The path isn’t straight from A to “Be”
Got to observe to swerve for the curve
That they throw to me
Are you just going to stand there
And, let the world turn under your feet
As it passes are you aware
You can choose the road you’re on… and the drummer’s beat
While the world turns under your feet

With my head, think ahead
For there’s a pitfall for all
Don’t have to be paranoid
Just have to learn to avoid
[chorus]

With the mind’s eye of I
I anticipate our fate
I can bear to change the bearing
To my heart keep on listening

LYRICS
My God, out there… there’s a lot of space
How do you keep any of it from going to waste
My God, how do you keep track
My God, step back!
When there is no trace
My God, we better make haste
How do you keep it in
So our space doesn’t become outer
I know I should “no” better
But I don’t know where to begin

I’m starting to doubt the existence of this “space”
I’ve asked the whole human race
And, no one can show me any of this space
It has no smell, touch nor taste
Yet we can’t let space go to waste?
Is that right? There’s none in sight
No sound is found
Just look around
Under what basis
Is this space “is”

LYRICS
Come it hell or high water
We’re gonna go further
Going to lighten you load
Take the high road
Let’s slip into the backseat
Heaven’s natural treat

Com on, now, more laughter
Sure to take us further
Going to lighten our load
On the high road
Let’s slip into the backseat
Heaven’s natural treat

From now and ever after
Music cures the sick
Dance, sing and grin
And do it again
Partake in Mother Nature’s treat
It’s what we’re here for
Nature nurture… sweet
At our core
What we are here for
Purpose of us!

The purpose for the tribal gathering
Is the collecting and dispersing
Of Offering

The keep of The Book
Is here to take a look
Open wide
No place to hide

Watch! Your inside
Exits as excrement
Now on the outside does reside
Inside resides outside
Insides reside outside

LYRICS
Seize the opportunity
Future — the entirety
Embrace abnormality
With Mother Nature… unity
If you’ve money to bank
Who do you have to thank
Can’t afford the risk
Better give temptation the whisk
Utilize the energy
Prize — make the most of me
Realize capability
Sanity of reality
Ready the place of serenity
Next thing comes insanity
Gotta keep curiosity
The essence of humanity

LYRICS
Oh the angel of the triangle
Ocean, air and the jungle
Rise up and sing
“All for one as king!”

Oh the fate of the mighty beast
Last is first and first is least
Oh the angel of the triangle
Ocean, air and the jungle
Rise up and sing
“All for one as king!”

The further the rise
There’s no surprise
There is further to fall
After all
Oh the fate of the mighty beast
Last is first and first is least
Rise up and sing
“All for one as king!”

Adapt humility back in humanity
Embracing all of our diversity
Oh the angel of the triangle
Ocean, air and the jungle
Rise up and sing
“All for one as king!”

Oh the nature of the native
Endure the “take” restore the “give”
Adapt humility back in humanity
Embracing all of our diversity
Rise up and sing
“All for one as king!”
