Let The Dance

Posted on September 21, 2014September 25, 2014 by admin

LYRICS
Let the dance be found
Turn yourself around
Jump about… shout!
Fun without a doubt
Let the energy out
Dance and sing about
Let the energy in
That’s when you’ll begin

Jump up! Do the double leg kick
Quick! Jump high! Try!

Let the dance be found
Love will abound
Jump up and shout!
Sun, let my soul melt
Let the synergy out
Our feeling felt
Let the synergy in
Our feelings begin

Jump up! Do the double leg kick
Quick! Jump high! Try!

Whose Planet

Posted on September 21, 2014September 25, 2014 by admin

Recording on the Streets of West Chester, PA

LYRICS
Look what you’ve done to me
Walking all over my back
Look what you’ve done to me
Spit in my face and a whack

I’ve been here a long, long time
Before any “me, mine or I’m”
Likely I will reside
After your self-genocide

The rise of the human demise
‘less you realize this ain’t no surprise

Look what you’ve done to me
Create pollution as you please
Look what you’ve done to me
Spread disease as you please

Mother Earth will prevail
Even if you insist to fail

Shine On

Posted on September 20, 2014September 25, 2014 by admin

LYRICS
The mighty sun has barely begun
To shine Her rays down upon you
While living’s fun, we’ve barely begun
To shine our days… least we can do

Shine! Go on and shine
Feeling fine! Spread it down the line

When life’s undone what have we won
To dine on Her tasty stew
A mix of flavors all rolled into one
Feeling satisfaction when it’s through

Dine! Go on and dine
Feeling fine! Spread it down the line

The Impact

Posted on September 20, 2014September 25, 2014 by admin

LYRICS
It seems…
The larger that you are
The harder that you fall
Like falling from far
Thinking you’re so tall

The longer that you mar
Thee deeper the you scar
Like falling from a star
It’s not the fall all-in-all
In fact, it’s the impact

And, dreams…
The more that you desire
To set the world on fire
The more harm you inflict
Careful what wish you pick
In fact, that’s the trick

Like Never Before

LYRICS
… like never before

Pray like you mean it
Like never before
Pray like you mean it
Your faith will cure
(Have faith in you faith for sure)

From the lips of an angel
In the balance you dangle
Free to free your freewill
Why hesitate… wait ’till still

Believe you can relieve it
Love like never before
Believe you can receive it
Love like never before

Chorus

What The Heck?

Posted on September 19, 2014September 25, 2014 by admin

LYRICS
What are you doing
Constantly putting
How can you eat your meet [sic]
If you’re messing with the pudding?

The time to act is upon us
Feel the vibe? It’s ominous
Track back re-act phenomenon
Retracing like a pendulum

What are you doing
Forgetting giving
How can you keep the beat
If you’re out of step with living

Chorus

What are we doing
Open eyes but not seeing (Open eyes but still sleeping)
Let’s feed the treat of greet
And meet in the age of loving

Chorus

The Game

Posted on September 18, 2014September 25, 2014 by admin

Songwriting and Recording at Everhart Park

LYRICS
On the checkered board, whose the manner’s lord
Are you his overseer? (or the panacea?)
Are you knight of the day? Believe in fair-play?
Sacrifice your queen (or come clean?)

The jester’s born into a crown of thorn
The subject’s scorn in a world that’s war-torn

What did we miss? Into the great abyss
When did we stray… so far, far, far away

As the pawn plods along oblivious his backup’s gone
Their bishop’s diagonal slide and you’ve no place to hide
Your castle is took… been rooked by the rook
A king without a throne in a kingdom all alone

God Bless America

Posted on September 17, 2014September 25, 2014 by admin

Songwriting and Recording in West Chester, PA

LYRICS
With one eye on the rearview mirror
The other one fixed on you
I hate to be the barer
Of this alter-point-ov-view

Look back! Seize the fact — we bred terror
The little ones nixed by you
Debate whether in error?
No. That just won’t do

God bless America
Unlike ever before
Not like some circa
Biblical era whore

Go on and ask
Take ’em to task
Behind the mask
Reveal what’s real
Go ahead and ask
Take us to task
Do we all steal?
Reveal our deal

Creating Music at Everhart Park in Chester County, PA

LYRICS
My eyes are blind… saw too much unkind
My ears are deaf… heard too much death
My lips can’t kiss… that taste is amiss
All that I smell… stinks of hell
(It stinks to high heaven again and again)

Becoming numb to the dumb

Mull how human’s calamity
Did dull my sensitivity
Don’t want to feel
What is real?
Wait! I want to feel what is real
Reach out and touch me
Your soul is lovely

Simply lovely
