LYRICS
Lookin’ for Maria
Need a panacea
I’m too frail
She’ll fix my ail
She’ll set me free
From what’s troublin’ me
Maria, Maria ideal idea

Searchin’ for Maria
Need an idea
Someone kind
To ease my mind
The best at putting it to rest
Maria, Maria ideal idea

Depend on Maria
Made in America
Full of heart
She does her part
Departs a piece of inner peace
Maria, Maria ideal idea

ABOUT THE SONG
While I was sitting on the courthouse wall at Market and High Streets in West Chester, a lady paused while passing by. I had seen her walk by on many occasions over the years, but this day she asked a favor. “Yesterday, I saw you writing. Can you write a song for me? My name is Maria.”

LYRICS
Take a look at the book
Could be the saint… could be the crook
I learned my lesson well
By the cover I can’t tell

Have you heard the word
Rational or completely absurd?
I learned my lesson well
By the cover I can’t tell

Have you read a page
Golden or in the Dark Age
I learned my lesson well
By the cover I can’t tell

What kind of read do you concede
Does it drain you soul or your head feed
… once read feed your head?
I learned my lesson well
By the cover I can’t tell

Help! I heard you call my name
How can life ever be the same?

You brought me into this world
Might as well stay ’til I checkout
I rot as I grow old
Gotta fight to win this bout

Chorus

Sooner or later we’re all going to die
Later not sooner is how I’m going to try
The next time I see ya… I’d like to say “hi”
Beats tears and fears of saying “good-bye”

LYRICS
The smile on your face
The loving embrace
It’s heart warming
Enduring

When I began to figure it out
I was just a little sprout
Couldn’t help but to laugh and grin
If I could, I’d do it over again

Then as I started to grow
Wasn’t hard for me to get to know
Taking time to smile with you
Adversity we’d get through

Time goes by and I grow old
Hopefully when my story is told
It’ll bring a smile to your face
Remembering the time we enjoyed in this place

LYRICS
State Police go flying by
With their lights blazing
Makes a man wonder why
Sirens are blaring
Shootout at the county seat
Justice dealt another defeat

Lead that led to death’s bed
Turns the living to the dead
Makes a man wonder why
Someone’s gotta die
Shootout at the county seat
Justice dealt another defeat

Wedding of clothing with shedding blood
Brings an out pouring… an emotional flood
Makes a man wonder why
There’s a final good-bye
Shootout at the county seat
Justice dealt another defeat

Have you ventured too far
“Who do you think you are?”

Forcing them to fly
Will you push them too far

In your empty-nest-ness
Baby’s grown and flown
Now you’re on your own

Animosity to curiosity?

LYRICS
Setting off a spark in your brain
Sensing there’s a shark in your lane
Wow! Look at him
You’d better swim
Before you’re a snack
From a shark attack

After my board started flipping
I’m ananamumana… “I am tripping”
Wow! Look at him
You’d better swim
Before you’re a snack
From a shark attack

See that fin? I’m punching in
Ensure a lesser white will win
Wow! Look at him
You’d better swim
Before you’re a snack
From a shark attack

Oh so happy! I survive
Oh so happy I’m alive

ABOUT THE SONG

A song about “Mick Fanning: Shark Attacks Surfer During Final of J-Bay Open Competition in South Africa”. “I just saw fins. I was waiting for the teeth,” Fanning, who was not injured in the attack, told Sky News Sunday. Following the attack, the World Surf League canceled the remainder of the competition. Mick punched the shark and got away. “I’m happy to not even compete ever again,” Fanning told a reporter after he was brought back to the safety of the beach by a boat. “I just want to let all my family and friends know, I’m okay,” he said. “I’m just tripping out.”

Dreaming of a life of ease
Swinging beneath the trees
Hoping a summer breeze

And that humans
Will be humane again
That all being
Will let their love begin

Scheming up how to applaud
Debunking of all the fraud
Justice from narrow to broad
Gets God’s nod

Listening to the music play
The Message… wouldn’t ya say?
Maybe today’s the day
We may play

LYRICS
Where will the lightning strike
Which way will the wind blow
Stick your finger in the dike
Try and control the flow

In the path of where the storm goes
Why under attack? Nobody knows
Seek shelter immediately
Before you become a casualty
Before they declare you a tragedy

Will we make it through the night
Still be standing at dawn’s daylight
Will comfort overtake fright
Please tell me it’s gonna be alright
