The way they look into each others eyes
It comes as no surprise
Another sure sign is the way they pine
When fate separates

This is love!
This is love!
Who doesn’t know,
This is love!

One understands when they’re holding hands
It’s plain for all to see
Two hearts as one under the sun
“I do” for eternity

This is love!
This is love!
Who doesn’t know,
This is love!

She loves his style of courtesy
When it comes to “loving me”
He loves her style — generosity
Spreading smiles… living free

This is love!
This is love!
Who doesn’t know,
This is love!

This Is Love.mp3

I’m really happy to say
It’s your wedding day
I’m really happy to see
It’s come to be

The bearer brings
Hearts opening
Our angel sings
As you exchange the rings

The guests all dance
Around your romance
The Best Man’s speech
“Love’s within reach”

Can’t hide the feelings inside
When it’s time to kiss the bride
Champagne and presents
Essence of effervescence

I’m counting out time

You know it’s true
What keeps me livin’
This life I’m given
… is you

What am I living for?
Just counting out time
To earn another dime?

With reason and rhyme
That’s what I’m living for

So, ours soars with the angels
All her children ring their bells
Joined the choir that sings with wings

Been being to other beings
As she’d be unto herself
Now an undercover angel
Doing well with spirit stealth

Been being to other beings
As she’d be unto herself
Now an undercover angel
Doing well with spirit (heaven’s) wealth

Been being to other beings
As she’d been unto herself
Now an undercover angel
Granted eternal health

So, ours soars with the angels

What am I suppose to do
When there’s nothing I can do
What am I suppose to do
I’m asking you

Gotta get back on my feet
By keeping upbeat
Defeat defeat
When my heart’s complete

Maybe if I help the world
Before I get too old
The idea ain’t that bold
Oldest story ever told

No reason. There is no “why?”
We’re all going to die
Will you transcend the sky
Because you decide to try

I’m asking you…
I’m begging you

Feeling blue
Turns to black

See you on the other side

I want to hold her hand
I want to save the life

Got a nice thick froth coming to a head
Bubbling over
Sense the effervescence essence getting put to bed
Bubbling over
An aroma that’ll raise you from a coma
Bubbling over
Not hard to tell when you love the smell
Bubbling over
With a love finer than champagne
You’re the champion
Shower our “our”

Ya did pop the lid… the quirk to pop the cork
Bubbling over
You know how to make the glass overflow
Bubbling over
Finer than the finest wine… fine, fine, fine
Bubbling over
A perfect blend to help hearts mend
Bubbling over
With a love finer than champagne
You’re the champion
Shower our “our”
Love bubbling over our
Happy hour

White House Chief of Staff John Kelly Hangs Head

LYRICS
As he looks to the floor
He can’t take any more
The resident President is an idiot
Fascist, racist, bigot

As he looks to the floor
How much more to endure?
A chief advisor
With a losing score

As he looks to the floor
How much more is in store
Trying to glorify the gore
Has he any clue? … I’m not sure

As he looks to the floor
Should I run for the door
When it rains, it’s going to poor
When he reigns, taking from the poor

Have you ever been warned
About the calm before the storm
Before all hell breaks loose
And you’re left swinging…
Under a noose
I’m getting into knowing
The winds of change are blowing
Giving heart attacks
To any heart that lacks

Give your heart an attack of love
Letting in light from above
Feel your heart start
Let the hate depart

Black is black
White is white
I’d say you’re out of the grey
Not so fine… crossing the line

Outback in the hills of Chester County
There’s a sight you’ve got to hear to see
Just bring a fiddle to solve the riddle
Do tell! A jig to keep you well
So hey diddle diddle
Give that cat a fiddle
We’re starting ‘fore noon
So hey diddle diddle
Give that cat a fiddle
Play ’til we’re under the moon

Groove in the grove in Chester County
It’s alright… the sound you’ll see
Strum a guitar, sing-a-long or hum
Yell! Swing to a melody so swell
Chorus

Far-out in the hills of Chester County
Picking tunes… a plentiful bounty
You know… tap a toe… let it go
Do tell! A jig to keep you well

Maybe I am
Sensitive
To sarcasm

How many waves have crashed upon the beach
Is the number within reach
Like the ocean, the questions run deep

How close are you sitting to the sun
Does it feel so close that it’s got you on the run
Take the leap into questions running deep

If you can talk the talk
You can walk i on the boardwalk
Let your guitar do the talking
Feet dancing… forget the walking

How many tides have been high
Take a guess… go ahead n’ try
Memories you keep of questions running deep

Then, maybe you might know
How many tides have been low
Like the ocean, the questions run deep

Physics debate: negate hate?
Collapse of synapse
A blackhole stole your soul

The bargains in your basement
Are the toys in your attic
Again and again with disparagement
Enough to cut you to the quick

Chip off the old blockhead
Rest my case… put to bed

The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree

Really no treat in the heat
Still tryin’ to learn concern
A homicide of the whole inside
Sacrificed soul to the blackhole

But it looks like a groundswell
Mountain.. I’m talkin’ mountain
Mountain out of a molehill

Hundred percent chance
Of wearing an avalanche

I’m sure hopin’ you’re wearin’
Mighty big shoes to fill

So, choose to donate your shoes
For us to fill them in again

And escape the hell of your groundswell

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

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

Did you ever wonder:
How much more is in store?
Wake-up in the morning and walk out the door
How much more is in store?
I suppose I’m
A quantity of quality time

Did you ever wonder:
How much more you’ll endure?
Do you suppose time is measured, too?

With gravity I see we gravitate
From before to too late
As suggestion, a question:
Why would I want to wait?
Take advantage of having weight
Before the liquidation
Before we liquidate
Do you ask the question?

Something is happening
The brass ring
Within grasp…
At last
They say it’s a new beginning
Baby, we’re on our way
A free ride
On the carousel
Farewell
Worry died
(Good-bye darkside)

Life is strange
Riding on an ostrich
Modern age
Re-arrange
Going round and round and round
You’re found
On the carousel of life
Reside on the free side
No cost… no strife

Is your favorite color purple?
Then it’s really quite simple
Led my heart of red
To mix with the blues for you

Is your favorite color green?
I know just what you mean
Hello! I’m the fellow with yellow
To mix with the blues for you

Is your favorite color blue?
There’s really not much to do
The color is already true
It’s straight up blues for you

The way you play the game
Is a bloody shame
Can’t punch through a wall after all

“If you throw the ball on the street
And your brother runs after it
He’s done for!”
He’s no more
So this summer…
You know… after all… to the beat
Of a different drummer
Of a different strummer
Of a different hummer

Free of dumb in Freedom

Further down the line

We find a way to stay
In the Freedom kingdom

Where to begin when you’re whistling in the wind
You’ll find there’s no bind
When no one comes to mind

If a tree falls in the forest, and no one is near to hear
If no one is around… did it really make a sound?

Can’t see the trees through the forest?
Then, perhaps it’s best
To find your kind mind
And, disregard the rest

Whistling In The Wind.mp3

ABOUT THE SONG

If you describe someone as whistling in the wind, you mean that they are trying unsuccessfully to change something which cannot be changed.

A song about following your dreams. If you dream of making music, let it be heard. If no one hears it, is it really music? Don’t worry what other people might think or say. “Do or do not. There is no try.” — Yoda

The way you wiggle
Love the lines you scribble
An art critic from the New York Times
Says your “lines are mighty fine”

The way you wiggle
Love the lines you scribble
At the very least a masterpiece
… like Picasso or Van Gogh
You know… Picasso or Van Gogh?

Love the lines you scribble
The parallel symmetry
It really, really gets to me

I am thinking museum
Quality obviously
I can see clearly
Your name on the marquee

Scary clowns in the kitchen
Cookin’ up rotten stew for you
Evil minds are itchin’
A recipe rash from scratch will do

Waiter there’s a fly in my soup
I could swear I’ve been duped
The fox is in the white henhouse
Arouse! Fire, fire! There is a fire to douse

Scary clowns slicing and dicing
Half-baked vegetable state fruitcake
On the cake they put icing
To hide all the “knews” that is fake

Scary clowns are now serving
A feast to erase the least
Figure they aren’t deserving
Fatten ’em up to feed the beast

Lost time can’t regurgitate

In the mish-mash of the humanity insanity
You are fine art removed from vanity
A perfect picture of compassion
With love you don’t ration

You’re giving away a sum
To anyone that wants some
Crossed the finish line, yet never done
Shinning brighter than the sun

Why don’t we all just do it
Hold all of us to it
Why not change the world
Before we get too old

You put optimism in opportunity
A pure champion of compassion

Why is that mosquito looking at me
Doesn’t he know… I’m not that tasty
Have I turned cold blooded (extremely)
Emotionally flooded
Don’t want to turn cold-hearted
Has it already started?

Why do I cry “I don’t want to die!”
While I should be giving…
Singing praises to the living
Raising my hands high to the sky
Thankful I am I
Don’t want to turn cold-hearted
Has it already started?

Time to consider turning innards outward
I’ve missed the starting gun?
Time to enact giving it back forward
Goodbye kissed n ready to run

What do you know about standing on a volcano?
You gotta go with the lava flow
We’ll start to get it
When She throws a fit

What do you know about standing on a volcano?
Might just deal the final blow

What do you know about standing on a volcano?
Pit Mother Nature as your foe

Reigning down on the poor
Poor bastards can’t take it any more
Look around for the downtrodden
Being ruled by the rotten
Poor bastards all but forgotten
The authority isn’t right by me
See the “blind eye” so clearly
An elixir for the grifter
Disrupting harmony
The authority isn’t right by me
See the “blind eye” so clearly
Watch him shake and break until nobody’s free

We’re found in the downpour
Raining down on our core
Rich bastards getting cleansed for sure
We’re found with the upbeat
Singing voices… dancing feet
Shuffle play and repeat

I’m finding the utmost interest
In relativity
Feeling dependence on existence
Surreality
Trying to make sense
Of perception without senses
Perceive what I believe
Experience presence
Leap from “Ludwig’s Ladder”
Leave logic a tattered
Chaos theory delivery
The irony of destiny
Sixth sense third-eye I see

Spring from the last rung
Among angels in song
Soul music being sung
Time can’t be too long
In the essence of existence
Is the essence of existence
In the absence of existence
Will exist persist?

    For Judgement Day when you spill your bowels
    When things get too dry
    The bird gives the dirt a try
    Splashing about in a dust bath
    Scorched earth from Man’s wrath

    Does the gravity of longevity
    Bring the brevity of identity
    Into question?
    The suggestion of mortality
    The reality
    When times are ominous
    Please remember in all of us
    Lives a hero with heartache
    Longing for the great escape
    In the time that “I am”, I’m
    Going to set that hero free
    In the time that “I am”, I’m
    Bringing out that hero in me
    In the time that “I am”, I’m
    Creating destiny
    You just might find
    You can save mankind
    Hold the thought in your mind
    “Never too late to be kind”

    Songwriting on the Brandywine

    LYRICS
    Do you know what I mean
    When I sing “floating down stream”?
    Behave with the energy wave
    … to the sea
    Try to keep your head above water
    Don’t ever go down for the third time
    It really does matter
    Living the nursery rhyme
    Floating down stream
    My body a boat in the dream
    Embody “about” in the dream

    Slipping, slipping, slipping
    It’s only time

    Dripping, dripping, dripping

    Presently I consider the present a present
    The recent present won’t persist
    No, it won’t last
    Men, grasp it while you can!
    Before it passes to past
    Watching the past go past
    And, it’s sure going fast

    Did you notice the crowd
    It’s loud!
    A mad dash to the finish line
    3, 2, 1… then, you’re out of time
    3, 2, 1…
    Then, you’re done

    Leaving it up to you
    Since I don’t know what to do
    Leaving it up to you

    Conman in the White House
    Politician’s a louse
    Don’t need to think twice
    When it comes to getting lice
    Leaving it up to you
    Since I don’t know what to do

    Global warming warning
    What do we need to heed
    Spokesman is a hoax, man
    I heard the dead men said
    Leaving it up to you
    Since I don’t know what to do

    Bombing babies in cities
    Error in the war on terror
    Create parents irate
    A radical can’t chill
    Leaving it up to you
    Since I don’t know what to do

    What? Where? When?
    What then?
    Should I anticipate
    To hurry up and wait?
    It’s too late to wait to wait

    No if? And?
    But then?
    Can’t be present
    At a non-event
    It’s too late to wait to wait

    Wow! Now? How?
    I vow…
    Can’t participate
    In hurry up and wait
    It’s too late to wait to wait

    Clock? Tick-tock?
    Time stopped
    Should I resuscitate

    Wasn’t thinking anything fancy
    Just some good ole rock n’ roll
    Will you and me dance? Let’s see!
    Playing post-modern rock n’ roll

    A lil’ thing for if you wanna swing
    With none of that jazz or classical gas
    Nothing too neat but rocks a beat
    Flex reflex moving feet from seats

    Not epic or big just to make you jig
    Not top-of-the-pop rubble
    But, it might pop your bubble
    Reggae’s fine most of the time
    But I want a chip off the ole block
    Rock!

    LYRICS
    Planted on the planet of plenty
    A healthy harvest from coast to coast
    From see to shining see
    On the cusp of being robust
    Planet Earth or bust
    (On the cusp of us being beings)

    Hitchhiker of the galaxy
    Planned on the planet of plenty
    To see the shining see

    Like the stars in the heavens
    Bringing light to the heathens
    Where the end ends beginning begins

    Yes, indeed we’re approaching light speed
    Out of our vacuum into spacetime continuum

    Almost saw a ghost

    Should have been toast
    Almost saw a ghost

    Nemesis of boast

    Why don’t you confess
    Your mess
    Live like a pig
    Now you are a ghost
    At most
    Body pillage… not so big
    This is the Nemesis

    Almost saw a ghost
    Lost soul
    Spirited roast
    Almost saw a ghost
    Life’s toll
    Nemesis of “most”
    This is the Nemesis

    Almost saw a ghost
    Lifeless host
    Death on two legs
    Almost saw a ghost
    Heartless host

    Who is you Nemesis?

    They come from the far right
    When wrong they fight
    Where the middle of the road

    Beyond bizarre
    That far?
    Might as well be from Madagascar

    Do the Republican Can-can dance
    Everyone can drop their pants
    Do the Foxtrot with the Democrat
    Everyone smells like a rat
    Stand back!

    The cloud is a shroud

    Obscure the pleasure
    OF a blue sky run
    The wind of change is gonna come
    n’ blow ’em back to where they came from

    Storm clouds on the horizon
    Keep my eyes on
    If they don’t fade
    Gonna rain on the parade

    Watch the fish flail
    No water in the pail
    Watch the human fail
    In a self-imposed jail
    Help me break free
    For a happy end to the tale

    Baby bird fell from its nest
    Trouble passing the test
    Surely the humans jest?
    The wicked get no rest
    Help break me free
    A happy ending is best

    LYRICS
    A most amazing thing
    When I started to sing
    The animals threw a ball
    A bird call went out to all
    Butterflies fluttering
    Flirting with the wind
    Man’s troubles abandoned

    In the most amazing way
    When I started to play
    Critters began to party
    Their animal spirits set free
    The bird call went out to all
    The forest and field yield
    As the seventh seal is revealed

    Before flora and fauna are forgot
    Why not strike while the iron is hot
    Start to stop to smell the roses
    Watch the wildlife striking poses

    I’m back
    The facts I lack
    Thought I was done
    Thought I was gone
    Boy was I wrong
    The “treatment” goes on and on

    I’m back
    Relentless attack
    Just like before
    I’m back for more
    Show must go on
    ’til we see the light of dawn

    I’m back
    Found a new crack
    Body must mend
    Fight till the end
    Won’t yield the fight
    We’ll fight right through the night

    I’m back
    Give’r another whack
    No, I won’t go away
    I’m here to stay

    I’m Back.mp3

    LYRICS
    Hello! How do you do?
    You say, “Beautiful day.”
    Sky a lovely blue hue
    I say, “Pleased to meet you.”

    Have a minute to spare?
    Sure love if you would share
    You say, “Least I can do.”
    I say, “Pleased to meet you.”

    Before you’re on your way
    I would just like to say
    “I’m glad to have met you.”
    You reply, “So am I”

    Yes, pleased to meet you, too

    Pollute and pollute
    ’til we’re all going to die
    And, I don’t know why

    Resolute and destitute
    And, it makes me cry
    ’cause I don’t know why

    Refute the absolute
    Facts make you sigh
    And, I don’t know why

    Institute of ill repute
    A sty in the “I”
    And, I don’t know why

    Re-route and re-root
    Let’s try a new try
    And, answer the question why

    The self-fulfilling prophecy of humanity
    What destiny shall we be?

    A free vote to be free

    Did I just hear you say
    They’re giving the good-life away
    Free for the taking all day
    What dues do you have to pay
    What “do’s” do you have to pay

    Better be on my way
    Heard the news today
    They’re giving the good-life away
    What dues do you have to pay
    What “do’s” do you have to pay

    Proclaim “the day of all days / daze”
    They’re giving the good-life away
    Free for the taking all day
    No dues to pay
    Just “do’s” they say
    … giving the good life away

    Oh, please! In days such as these
    I see apathy as disease
    Did you know when you cope
    You give others hope

    Here’s a few clues
    There is no fake knews
    Did you know when you believe
    It’s a true relief
    Relieve by true belief

    Oh, please! In days such as these
    I see apathy as disease
    Did you know when you smile
    You go the extra mile

    Oh, please! In days such as these
    I see apathy as disease
    Did you know your sympathy
    Is the cure of apathy

    No, not I
    Need ask why
    Time to try
    Do or die
    Now the blues have departed
    Let’s get this party started
    Together the kind-hearted
    Get the party started

    We can rely on the 4th of July
    For that Philadelphia Spirit
    Let’s hear it!

    We can rely on the 4th of July
    Are you aware we declare
    Independence
    “You’re free to dance”

    We can rely on the 4th of July
    A declaration of celebration
    Good news! The red, white and blues
    Roll out the tide of pride
    Arrived
    Survived

    LYRICS
    While tryin’ livin’ the life given
    At large
    My biggest concern is to discern
    Who’s in charge?
    Are you ready to believe it
    Ready to believe it
    Ready to believe it or not

    Searchin’ for some relief
    From this disbelief
    The certainty of this reality
    Causing too much grief

    A babbling, blabbing, bullying
    Commander In Chief
    Under a rock a cartoon loon
    Was beneath

    Are you ready to believe it
    Ready to believe it
    Ready to believe it or not
    Brain rot
    This nation’s got
    Brain rot
    Believe it or not

    The sun beats down upon my brow
    I know somehow… must escape now
    My head is hot, the skin does burn
    I yearn to learn to take the turn
    And, wade into the shade
    Nature’s aid heat fade
    Just a small bit of a respite
    A breeze and me under a tree

    The sun bears down upon my back
    My bare back feels under attack
    Humidity is killing thee
    Not even clouds shelter me

    The sun shines down on all around
    No air conditioning to be found
    Quick! Before I feel skin peel
    Will you help me find the real deal?
    Let’s wade into the shade
    Nature’s aid heat fade
    Just a small bit of a respite
    We with a breeze under a tree

    I was just sittin’ there
    Minding my own business
    Tryin’ to write/right a few bars
    When I was approached by a bear
    I said, “What is this….
    A man dressed as a panda?”
    Wahla la la… little green men from mars
    Going mental
    Being over judgemental

    I was just sittin’ there
    Minding my own business
    Tryin’ to write/right a lil’ jig
    When out of no where
    I said, “What is this….
    A man dressed as a pig?”
    Wahla la la… dig, dig, dig
    Going mental
    Being over judgemental

    I was just sittin’ there
    Minding my own business
    Tryin’ to span a jam
    When I was approached by a man
    I said, “What is this….
    A man dressed as a human?”
    Wahla la la… I am human
    Going mental
    Being over judgemental

    Whenever I see you passing by
    You bow you’re head when you say “hi”
    I’m confident in your confidence
    And the beauty of your essence

    I don’t know why you’re still bashful
    I don’t know why you’re so shy
    Can you tell it’s time to come out of you shell
    Time to make the choice to raise your voice

    Whenever I pass you on the street
    You greet like we never did meet
    Then, after a short while
    You’re wearing the widest smile

    I bet if you try to sing
    That’d cure just about everything
    Then, by chance if you start to dance
    You might swing into a new romance

    The wind came and blew my money
    The wind came and blew my money
    I swear, Lord
    The wind came and blew my money away
    Save me from this day

    Working all day to collect some pay
    More misfortune came my way
    Born a blues tune on this day
    It ain’t funny
    The wind came and blew my money
    The wind came and blew my money
    The wind came and blew my money away
    Hey! No way
    Blew it under my feet
    Out onto the street
    And it made me shutter
    Watching if fall into the gutter
    Wind, I’m begging you
    Please blow me away, too
    To a land where we land together
    Living happily forever and ever

    Is this your last summer break
    Before you move along?
    Why not take all you can take
    At being nimble and strong
    Make the best of the rest
    Preparing for your test
    No more lax school rules
    Survival of the fittest
    It’s survival of the fittest

    The last summer vacation
    Before moving on
    Part of life’s station-to-station
    Knowledge is never done

    Education’s on summer recess
    Prepared to confess
    Time is not useless
    Let’s start the progress

    No vacation from graduation
