LYRICS
It’s all just fun and games ’til someone gets their eye poked out
Sticks and stones will break your bones… find out what that’s all about
It’s all just fun and games ’til someone gets their eye poked out
Then, ain’t it a shame (no fun in that game)
Sticks and stones will break your bones… you’ll find out about
All just fun and games ’til you make someone lame
Then, shame, shame, shame
If you take away the ability for someone to see
You’d better take responsibility

LYRICS
This is God to Earth.
Come in Earth.
Q: What do you want to be when you grow up?
A: When I grow up I want to be an elf.
[the Earthlings sing]
When I grow up I want to be an elf
Not all wrapped up in myself
Not all tied-up in myself
Rather make a toy for every girl and boy
I’d rather bring that Christmas Joy, enjoy
When I grow up
When I grow up, I want to be an elf
Not that stooge for the Scrooge
Not the snitch for the Grinch
When I grow up
When I grow up, I want to be an elf
What do you want to be when you grow up
Do you want to be something? Stand up
What do you want to be when you grow up
Something stand up or throw-up
A toy for every girl and boy
Or hurl for every boy and girl
What do you want to be when you grow up?

Inspired by Hermey the Elf in Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer.
Head Elf: Hermey! Aren’t you finished painting that yet? There’s a pile-up a mile wide behind you! What’s eatin’ ya, boy?
Hermey: Not happy with my work, I guess.
Head Elf: What?
Hermey: [sadly] I just don’t like to make toys.
Head Elf: Oh, well, if that’s all… What? You don’t like to make toys?
Hermey: [sadly again] Nnno.
Head Elf: [to the other elves] Hermey doesn’t like to make toys!
Elves: [whispering to each other, then chorusing to Hermey] Hermey doesn’t like to make toys. Shame on him!
Head Elf: Do you mind telling me what you do want to do?
Hermey: Well, sir, someday, I’d like to be a… a dentist.
Head Elf: A – dentist?

LYRICS
I can see the light in your eye
Delight in your “I”
I can see the light in your eye
It lights up the sky
The delight from the light of your eye
The delight of your “I”
I think now I know why
The sparkle, the twinkle, the glimmer, the shimmer
Of your eye
Of your “I”
Delight in the light in your “I”
My, oh, my, oh, my
The light in your “I”
Long after I die
I’ll remember the light of your “I”
The light that I can see in your eye
I can see ’til eternity
I can see the light
I can see the light
I can see the light in your eyes/I’s

LYRICS
A full view of dancing with you
Caught a glimpse out of the corner of my eye
And, I…
I had to get the full view of dancing with you
Full view of dancing with you
Dancing with you
You turned my head
Then I said
No matter how far or how near
As long as it’s clear
Full view of dancing with you
Dancing with you
Taking in the full view
Of dancing with you
Could be as far as across the dance floor
… maybe more
As long as it’s clear
The view of dancing with you
As long as it’s clear
It could be near
Next to me
Clearly
The view of dancing with you
If you can sense my scent like I can sense your scent
It’s like a present
Heaven sent
Don’t want to escape the nape
… of your neck
What the heck?
As long as it’s clear… clearly to see
The view of dancing with you

LYRICS
Had a vision of you
Didn’t know if it’d come true
Had a vision of you
Didn’t know when it’d come true
Now it’s easy to see…
Now it’s easy for me…
Now it’s easy to see…
See right through
In the dream
You cleansed the mean
In the dream
The mean come clean
Chorus
From the stargaze haze
Reality plays out
From the stargaze phase
Vision turned to hereabout

LYRICS
Boy! Boy, what are you doing over there?
Please move out of the light so we can see delight
Boy, what are you doing over there
Are you aware…
You’re standing in the light
Are you aware when you stand right there
You make a better door than window
Ya know it’s hard to see in your shadow
Boy, what are you doing over there?
Are you aware…
You cast a shadow. You know?
And, I can’t see clearly
Beyond a shadow of a doubt
I found out
Standing in your shadow
Boy, what are you doing over there
You’re casting a shadow on what we know
Ya know?
So, please, please, please if you might move so slight
To the left or the right
Let in the light

Luke:
13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying:
14 “Glory to God in the highest,
And on earth peace, goodwill toward men!”
LYRICS
On my back I lie
Gazing into the sky
Heard something absurd
Try to figure out why
Angels on high
Bring a tear to the eye
Angels on high
Make me cry…
Tears of joy
Enjoy and deploy
Rejoice in tears of happiness
To my feet I rise
An eager eye prise
Once I realize
The scope of surprise
(The hope in surprise)
To my knee I fall
Bowed head and all
Humbled by the Spirit
Pray tell… can you hear it?

LYRICS
I’m on a long, cold, hard road to Bethlehem
Yes, I am
Cold all day in a winter desert way
Over the rough terrain
How to remain sane?
Long, cold, hard road
On a long, cold, hard road to Bethlehem
Yes, I am
At night, the ground will freeze
No such thing as a tropical breeze
Long, cold, hard road
Nazareth to Bethlehem
Not a splinter in winter
Not a splinter of sunlight
It’s cold in the rain at night
Cold in the rain
How to remain sane?
I’m on a long, cold, hard road to Bethlehem
Yes, I am
Long, Cold, Hard Road to Bethlehem.mp3

LYRICS
And I don’t even know what it means
… so it seems
Adani… and I don’t even know what it means
If it’s all the same, I can play that game
You talk the waltz
You walk the waltz
You waltz the waltz
Just like peppers go with salts
The movement feels so good like it should
Keeps you warm and comfortable
And… when you’re comfortable, it’s more comfortable for all
I don’t even know what it means… so it seems

This time of year
As time draws near
Fillin’ my head with yow to spread
… spread that Christmas cheer
… spread it all through the year
Hold my life’s moment dear
… clear
The angels read
Here’s what they said
Now angels sing
“Given you wings”
