LYRICS
My heart’s racing fast
Will I kiss you at last
It’s been so long
So long, long
My heart’s racing fast
Will I hear you at last
It’s been so long
So long, long
In the time it takes to blink
In the flash of a wink
So long, long
So long, Long
When it’s too late to think
And you know you’re on the brink
You get it on
Been too long
So long, long

My heart’s racing fast
Will I hold you at last
It’s been so long
So long, long
My heart’s racing fast
Life has passed past
Moving along
Past gone
In the time it takes to blink
In the flash of a wink
So long, long
So long, Long
When it’s too late to think
And you know you’re on the brink
You get it on
Been too long
So long, long

LYRICS
[Deep Breathing]
Within you
Deep within you
Is coming through
See the deep seep
Out of you
The more you give
The more you live
Then the light can come in
Enlighten
Within you
Deep within you
Is coming through
Inside out
Inside about
Let the light in
May the light in enlighten
1+1=2
As 2 are 1’s
As 2 our 1
You, me, we

LYRICS
Wonderful
As a waterfall
You instill
The will to fulfill
Beautiful
As foliage in fall
Faithful
Until Spring renewal
Comfort and compassion
Are the seasons’ fashion

Special
As a fresh snowfall
Windowsill
A view to a thrill
Pockets full
Of a miracle
Empirical
Turned lyrical
Comfort and compassion
Are the seasons’ fashion

Whimsical
Fill the youthful
Delightful
Add shine to dull
Ample
For all to sample
Example
Of grandeur
Comfort and compassion
Are the seasons’ fashion

LYRICS
Before you go off half-cocked
Do you know the door is unlocked
And did you know
You can open the window
You’re free to go

Why live in a rage
After you construct your cage
And did you know
You can let your mind grow
You’re free to go

Come on! Let yourself out
Find out what the world’s about
Come on! Let yourself out
Take the highroad route
Why live in doubt?

Folsom Prison Blues MP3

Coversong originally made famous by Johnny Cash
Written by Johnny Cash

Folsom Prison Blues.mp3

E             
I hear the train a-coming, it's rolling round the bend
                                                E7  
and I ain't seen the sunshine since I don't know when
    A                                              E    
I'm stuck at Folsom Prison, and time keeps draggin' on
         B7                                    E
But that train keeps a-rollin' on down to San Antone

E
When I was just a baby, my Mama told me 'Son,
                                           E7
always be a good boy; don't ever play with guns.'
      A                                       E
But I shot a man in Reno, just to watch him die
       B7                                           E
when I hear that whistle blowin' I hang my head and cry
[Guitar solo/interlude]

I bet there's rich folks eatin' in a fancy dining car
They're probably drinking coffee and smoking big cigars
But I know I had it coming, I know I can't be free
But those people keep a moving, and that's what tortures me

Well, if they freed me from this prison, if that railroad train was mine
I bet I'd move it on a little farther down the line
Far from Folsom Prison, that's where I want to stay
And I'd let that lonesome whistle blow my blues away

Let Go.mp3

LYRICS
Your hands are bleeding
’cause you’re not conceding
You know…
Why don’t you just let go
Get a hold on your heart
Let the hate depart
Dissipate the hate
Why don’t you just let go?
Participate dissipate hate
You know…
Why don’t you just let go?
Get a grip on emotions
Try flowing like the oceans
Ride the wave
Why don’t you just let go?
Be brave… behave… surf the wave
With the flow
Why don’t you just let go?

LYRICS
Look! He did it again
While wearing a grin
Did it again
Would you look at him
Well, take a look
The dirty crook
Stole my mother’s pocketbook
Would you take a look
The bones they rattled
The bones they shook
Their brains are scattered
Just take a look
Do you think it’s a sin
The he’s takin’, takin’, takin’ again
The margin for error is too slim
Would you get a load of him
Look! He did it again

LYRICS
When you say, “God damn!
Who do you think I am?”
Going to pop a vain
God’s name in vain?

Throw a hissy fit
n’ rant n’ rage a bit
Still attached to mommy’s….?
Better get over it

Self-imposed wing clip
Your wig is in a flip
Lie, cheat, steal n’ gyp
Ya better get a grip

Are you tired of standing alone
Maybe it’s time to bring it on home

LYRICS
This is what you call
Hard ball
After all
You call your dutty your duty
Misrepresenting a fable
What you despise is your demise

This is what you call
Hard ball
After all
Get another plate
Of heaping, grubbing hate
No debate
When you’re irate

This is what you call
Hard ball
After all
West side of Church and Gay
Needs to find the way
Come to church today
For your getaway get away

This is what you call
Hard ball
After all
Scarecrow sings, “If I only had a brain”
Lord, have mercy… madman’s insane
Slippery slope… just loss in your gain
Yo, Boss, just loss in your gain
Again

LYRICS
What’s up with this, America?
Dumbfounding it is, America
No longer free to be brave
Is this any way to behave
Am I a public servant’s slave?

What’s up with this, America?
Dumbfounding it is, America
This town spent the 1st Amendment
Twisted the Constitution till bent
Now it doesn’t read the way it’s meant

What’s up with this, America?
Dumbfounding it is, America
They say you can’t say
They say you can’t play
Not any time… night or day

What’s up with this, America?
Dumbfounding it is, America
Reciting the Pledge is a crime
No Star Spangled Banner at any time
For you, County Seat, I’m cryin’
Over all of your cheatin’ and lyin’

What’s up with this, America?
Dumbfounding it is, America

LYRICS
Is that a painted body
Or clothes as thin as skin
Are you being naughty
Or living life with a grin?
I guess you all call this a win-win
Come on everybody
Let’s let our friends jump in

The way you move
The way you bend
Into the groove
Message we send
Exit exist
Eternal mortality bliss
Space-time continuum such as this
I’m in a space-time continuum
Immortal bliss

LYRICS
Eventually
We will see
The sky will clear
Especially
We will be
Without a fear
Jump for joy
Give everybody a smile
Jump for joy
Try humor on for a while

Finally
We are free
Hold freedom dear
Totally
Beings be
Come lend an ear

Gratefully
Feeling glee
Smiles do appear
Musically
Elevates me
May angels hear

LYRICS
The best
You bet
Unleash
Your beast
Or, better yet…
Come on out
Hear what I’m talking about
Beyond doubt
Cease the whine… forgiven pout

Give a shout
If you’re having a bout
Of the gout
Let love reign on your drought

As the scout
Can you hear hereabout
The lookout
For love about to sprout

bookmark_borderRupture Rapture

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
I’m not ready for your rapture
Are you sure?
I’m sure!
Wanna get me some more future
Noooo… I’m not ready for your rapture
Like a puncture
To my soul
When you try to capture
My rapture
’tis the devil’s goal
You puncture my soul
You rupture my rapture
Puncture my soul
The sole toll
Is the soul

ABOUT THE SONG
This song is about “radical Christianist terrorists”. Imagine a group of radical Christians taking over the government and trying to bring on the Rapture (aka The Apocalypse) and the Second Coming.

A conspiracy of Evangelical Christians want to facilitate The End Of Times. They want: The Revival of the Roman Empire, The Emergence of the Antichrist, The Covenant with Israel, Three Periods Between the Rapture and the Second Coming, The War with Russia, and The Great Tribulation: Armageddon. They believe they will be “saved” when these events occur.

bookmark_border#1 Threat To Children (Melting Snowflakes)

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Decide to get up, stand up
If you can’t stand for it
Climate change is killing our kids
And you continue denying it
A wind of fear start to blow
Thought they’d make the snowflakes melt
Instead, the snowflakes started to grow
Blizzard conditions are what they’re dealt
Blizzard conditions are what they felt
When a snowflake you try to melt
Blizzard conditions are what you’re dealt
Millions of pink hats all in a row
Millions of ping hats get up and go!

Decide to get up, stand up
Gotta demand it
No soul-ution for our pollution
Is to murder all creation
Millions of pink hats all in a row
Millions of ping hats get up and go!
Millions of pink hats all in a row
Millions of ping hats get up and go!

ABOUT THE SONG
This song is about the number one cause of death to children worldwide, as well as, the number one threat to children in the United States of America — pollution. Donald Trump said the USA is going to bail on the Paris Treaty. On his first day in office, he removed all information on climate change and global warming from WhiteHouse.gov. This song is about saving the children and our children’s children.

This song was inspired by the hope in faith as demonstrated by the global protest “Women’s March On Washington”. It was the largest protest against a ruler in Earth’s history.
