LYRICS
In the afterall, after all
Enthrall
All call
Drop the gull
‘en haul
In the afterall
After all
Small maul
If at all
If I’m the lull in time, I’m…
Small stall sprawl
About throughout
Threw out
Scrawl wherewithal on the wall
Appall the apple of the I ball
Heal all
After all
Enthrall all
In the afterall, after all
Head the call of the herd
So, you’ve heard
Tell them all
Scrawl wherewithal on the wall
Cull the herd
So, they’ve heard
Scrawl wherewithal on the wall

LYRICS
Nothing left to do
But to pursue
Give it all I got?
Sure, why not!
The dog was in the doghouse
Can you tell me who’s to blame
Are you calling out my name?
Not “whatever” “all the same”
What more can I do
But to pursue
Go the final yard
It’s not that hard
What about for you
Whatcha gonna do
Give it all you’ve got?
Come on! Why not?

LYRICS
Beyond execute
Absent rebuke
Remember the follow through
Hope I do
Follow through
Hope I remember to
Hope I remember
Final number
Then encore
Then some more
It’s time to embrace
The start of the race
Run after the starting gun
Hope I do
Remember to
Finishing line run through
The optimists
Within exists
Remember we’re not through
Body’s dead
The life we led
Get to start anew?

LYRICS
Seeking shelter
From Helter Skelter
All hell
Is breaking loose
Farewell
If we don’t choose
Fight or flight?
You better ask
If we multitask
When viewed
You’ve come unglued
Time to be subdued
Lewd, rude, crude
Flood the hate
With the love
Flood the light
From above
Not too late
Flood with love
Suffocate hate
Show ’em what we’re made of?
We’re made of love
The insight of floodlight
Floodlight incite in sight
Invite floodlight

LYRICS
Handicap. Have you got one, too?
All of us, just trying to get through
Following orders… hut, 1, 2
Starting to think that just won’t do
In your eyes
I see paradise
Realize
Eyes on the prize
Life before it dies
Stuck inside your castle walls
Waiting ’til the kingdom falls
Can’t escape your nightmares
Regain hope and lose your fears
In your eyes
I see paradise
Realize
Eyes on the prize
Life before it dies
Life before us lies
The captain says you may move about
Just as long as you don’t venture out
Quite the contrary revolutionary
Weight of the world on your shoulders carry
In your eyes
I see paradise
Realize
Eyes on the prize
Life before us lies

LYRICS
Counting my blessings
Life’s for the taking
Soul-to-soul caressing
Lives in the making
What it is you did
Can’t be rid or hid
What it is you do
Will define you
What I’ll come to be
Is really up to me
As time is fleeting
Life’s for the taking
Before completing
Life’s in the making
Simultaneous us
Lives for the taking
The glorious us
Lives in the making

LYRICS
Where are you going
Aware… or not knowing?
Rabbit’s circle jump off track
Never looking back
Do you feel the coup
Of the loopity lou
Can you tell me where you’re going to?
Being a bleeder follow the leader
Stampede off a cliff
Hey! Lemmings, to be seceder
Gotta ask “what if?”
Bling lead the bling ain’t being kind
Need I remind
We gotta take a stance where we stand
Do you understand?

LYRICS
Cantaloupe colored border dog?
Why so melancholy
Let the princess kiss the frog
Find the jolly in the folly
Have some faith in yourself
Beyond the eve of believe
What is your life on the shelf
Wearing your heart on your sleeve
Choking on goose feathers?
Why so down in the mouth
If you want to weather whethers
Join the union, fight the south
(chorus)
Stub your toe on the pale
Not ready to kick the bucket
If the sight of ghosts makes you ail
Look that devil in the “I”… and say, #uck it!”
(chorus)

LYRICS
Can we find a way
That each and every day
Back the clock back
Define daily standard time:
Fall back one hour
I’m for our life savings time
Counterclockwise
Wise compromise
Is it a big deal
TO day-to-day steal
A 60 minute bit
Or will Mother Nature throw a fit?
Ripping the continuum
Asking if I am?

LYRICS
Of all the things
She sings
Of butterfly wings
Catching the drift: The uplift of the uplift…
Uplifting
When flapping wings
Chaotically brings
“Attached with strings”
Catching the drift: The uplift of the uplift…
Uplifting
Do ra me do
Sing a tornado
The I of the know
Appears that I am
Chaotic system
Un-ordered as I may be
Skin makes it me
The humility of humanity
Someday maybe
Set free

LYRICS
We’ll go marching
We’ll go marching
Will go marching
On parade
Not afraid
To exercise
Freewill
Beyond wade
Gonna swim
I am
We’ll go swimming
We’ll go swimming
Will go swimming
In the see
Time to be
The eye of I’s
Freewill
Gonna fly
We will
We’ll go flying
We’ll go flying
Will go flying
Into the eye
Hurricane of the brain
Train sane
The kind to mind the mind kind
King mind

LYRICS
Why do you think it is…
Is turns to was?
What’s all the fuss
What’s all the buzz
’cause I’m telling ya…
It always does
When do you think will…
Will stand still?
Hoping it’s long until
We lose that thrill
’cause I’m asking ya…
Have you had your fill?
Now find out how…
How is right now
Maybe time will allow
Us to love the “wow!”
’cause she’s telling us
Seize the here and now
Turning sword into plough
Sowing seeds that endow

LYRICS
See the sun reflected in your eye
See the sun light up the western sky
Watch as the Earth’s shadow
Casts night onto our hallow
How do you count the passing of days
How do you amount the righteous ways
Find evil hard to swallow
No sense crying… don’t wallow
Live each bit to the fullest
Live each bit reaching for best
Live every moment hollow of sorrow
Live every moment like no tomorrow
