Hear My Rocking (Music Video).mp4

LYRICS
I keep on rocking
Can’t see you frolicking
I keep on talking
Can’t hear you listening
I keep on knocking
But you’re not answering
Is there anyone at home?
I keep on knocking
But you leave me standing all alone

2) If a tree falls in the forest
And you’re the closest
Do you turn a deaf ear
To be clear: do you hear?
Is there anyone at home?
I keep on knocking
But you leave me standing all alone

3) If Little Bo Peep lost her sheep
Would you bother to wake from sleep
River runs deep…. is faith the leap
Pray to God my soul to keep
Is there anyone at home?
I keep on knocking
But you leave me standing all alone

ABOUT THE SONG
The song was inspired by the dancing kids (one dressed like Little Bo Peep) that were listening to me write this song… as their parents appeared to be in their own little worlds. A five-year-old girl even made a point of showing me how her doll dances, but her parents couldn’t seem to hear the music. Moral of the story: “Don’t grow old. Listen to the music. Dance and jump about!” Written between the corners of Market, High, Gay and Church Streets in Chester County, West Chester, PA — Gay Church.

LYRICS
Precariously positioned
Prepared to pounce
Not a pound of mercy
Not even an ounce
Threads of the web
Woven and spun
Sit in lay for the prey
Until it’s done

Feast like a beast
On blood and guts
Dog eat dog released
In a world gone nuts

But for lack of chops
You’d be licking them lots
Pavlov’s rule you would drool
The haves have the have nots

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

Drum Castle
Drum Castle

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

Would you like a little pick-me-up
Some news to cure the blues

LYRICS
So, this is what we’re waiting for
This moment and not a moment more
Are you really, really
Are you really, really
Sure?

And the sky’s a lovely hue of blue
With the sun reflecting the light that’s you (all of you)
All is clear the here is now
All is here it’s clear it’s now

Anticipate it’s well worth the wait
A vacuum in space void of hate
Are you really, really
Are you really, ready
Participate

An excursion in immersion flow in’
Fill with still yet know in’ move in’
Are you really, really
Are you really, ready
To join in’

LYRICS
Earth’s our ride
Please conceive
Turn the tide
Help relieve

Is your heart on your inside
Or do you wear it on your sleeve
Your love… do you try to hide
Or live what you believe

Time you bide
Can’t retrieve
We reside
Then, we leave
(Chorus)

Poke and chide
Can’t we leave?
Un-divide
Our pet peeve
(chorus)

You know
Be your own hero
Example of “go”

LYRICS
Wonder what’s in the rabbit hole?
Should I be the mole?
Wonder what is in the rabbit hole?
Is the goal to find my toll

Pass through the looking glass
Slide to the other side
Here’s not always what it appears
We’re in for a ride

Wonder what is in the rabbit whole?
Do you think the kitchen sink
Wonder what is in the rabbit whole?
Is it in the water that we drink

Wonder what is in the rabbit hole?
Wonder if it’s wonderful
Wonder what is in the rabbit hole?
The mirror of my soul?

LYRICS
How hard to persuade
Hate to fade… fade away
(Fade away)

In the morning, come clean from being so mean
In the evening, calm down
Find where the love is found
How hard to persuade
Hate to fade… fade away
(Fade away)

Can you explain why you’re causing so much pain
How can you find joy in snatching a baby’s toy?
How hard to persuade
Hate to fade… fade away
(Fade away)

Miss “The Grinch That Stole Christmas”?
Don’t you wanna know how large your heart can grow
How hard to persuade
Hate to fade… fade away
(Fade away)

Does any brain remain
Certainly none sane
Be sure to save a piece
For understanding love and peace
How hard to persuade
Hate to fade… fade away
(Fade away)

LYRICS
Going old school
For whom does the bell toll?
Meanwhile a child will smile
Everything will yearn to turn

Do you want a burdensome load
To carry to the end of your road?

Do you want to live in “#uck it!”
’till you kick the bucket?

Do you know why “we’re all gonna die”?
Is Promised Land pie-in-the-sky?

Pushing up daisies more than a maybe
From a man to a stardust baby

Everything will yearn to turn
Everybody will churn
Every body everywhere
Everybody every where

LYRICS
I’m unsure about time capture
Is time something you can store
Am I a time capsule
In continuum on patrol

They say time The Avenger
Will make you a stranger
Foregone unknown into the future
Quick! Capture your soul with a picture

I’m not sure about saving time
The sands of time are too fine
Can’t keep them in an hourglass
Through the glass they pass

If a stitch in time saves nine
What about the tenth?
Are you going to save what’s mine
If so, at what length?

Can you save your life
Be immortality
Can you save your life
Be invincibility
