Hello is anybody near
Hello is anybody here

Is there any light in sight
Is there any light insight
At the end of the tunnel
Is there any insight into the light
At the end of the tunnel

At the end of the tunnel
Is it the beginning of the light
Is the end the beginning… is that right
Have I got that right
Beginning of the light
Light insight

When going down the road
If you lighten your load
The toll of the total
Is less brutal
As a matter of fact
You can’t get it back
And, there’s really nothing that you lack

When you reach your golden years
Are you past your friggin’ fears
Are you able to forget
Skeletons in your closet
Are there no more tears
Not a regret
Is your last chapter…
Happily ever-after

Maybe you can find your happy place
Far, far, far-out in space
Maybe there’s enough room
To harbor your gloom?

If you go your own way
Maybe that’s O.K.
Another day
Together play

Take your marbles and go home
Face your problems all alone
When your back in the zone
Feel free to pick up the phone

Enlarge the cage
Oh, believe me
Ready to be free
A whole new page
Out of this cage
I want to be “really” free
So, please help me

Where is the sign
“Free All The Time”
Wish I had known
I could have grown
Free all the time
It’s a state of mind
To thyself as to others… be kind
As others to you, too… be kind

Let’s grant your wish
You can do anything you want to do
And, I’ll help you (I’ll do all I can do)

Would you like to give a hand

You can!
Would you like to join the band
I’m your man

Get up in arms

We can all bear peace
May music sooth our souls

Cause misfortune
Brain gone lame
Heart out of tune
As the irony comes to me
Fosters faith in humanity

Poison lace
Poison pill
Fall from grace
Your worst ill?
As the irony comes to me
Fosters faith in humanity

Quite a task
For you to ask
Forgiveness
At a time like this
First confess
Then, comes bliss
As the irony comes to me
Fosters faith in humanity

Run! Run! Run!

Run! Run! Run!
Coming undone
Run! Run! Run!
Are you aware
Better get out of there

Went from really thrilling
To nail nail-biting bone-chilling
Are you aware
Run out of there

Went from a tense situation
Into utter devastation
Are you aware
Run out of there

Went from a goofy spooky
To being cursed unlucky
Are you aware
Run out of there

One of the pigs
Built his house of twigs
When the wolf came around
He blew it down

But, I will not let you in
Not by the hair of my chinny chin chin
Yes, I will call your bluff
Go ahead and huff and puff

Another pig
For his britches too big
When that wolf came around
He blew ’em down

Now, this little pig
Learned to dig, dig, dig
And, when you’re down below
Don’t care how much you blow

Though no one seems to take note
Living their life in the rote
Their faces looking down
Their faces to the ground
No leaders to be found
Just followers all around
No one seems to notice
The erroneous
Or the luscious us

Does anybody see
The good, the bad, the ugly
Are we all blind to being kind
Does any body care
To give, to live, to share
Have we all our friggin’ mind?

Wants to know “how come?”
Throwing the bass off base
Rhythm guitar hasn’t gotten that far
For those who dance, why take a chance?

At some traditional ball
Um, a… samba, foxtrot… I think not
Missed a beat. Admit defeat.

Suddenly get cold feet
When face-to-face with death
Is your life defeat
Has it depth or breadth?

And, does it make you feel good
Can you get to sleep in the evening
Does it leave your brain burning
Of should of what you could

Shuddering disbelief
Swallowing grief
Once we’re born
Will we ever learn

Run them ’round in circles
Jump off the path
To steer clear of their wrath
Leap of faith. Believe in miracles?

If it reigns brains
With a drought of doubt
We might survive
Being alive

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

You know
Be your own hero

You can create what you follow
Imagine the dream
Realize the scene

The bittersweet thing we call today
A memory that will fade away
Into yesterday
So, leave your blues in yesterday
Design the place you’d like to stay
Feelin’ O.K.

To today then to tomorrow
No need to beg or borrow
You’ve lightened my load
Left the blues in yesterday
Saw the light! Forged a new way
Now, we’re on the road

The Golden Age and platinum
The fate of fatal heavy metal (meddle)

Conserve
Save
Energy for me

When you take the fun out of humor
Well, it’s just not that funny any more
When you take the laugh out of laughter
… can’t take the joke any further/farther

I learned soon…
Like a lead balloon
But of course…
I had to beat a dead horse

In need of more humor

Truth stranger than fiction
Reality contradiction
When you see the extent of hypocrisy
You’ll say,
No way?!?!?!
That’s too funny

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?

Fear the Reaper getting near?

Going faster and faster
Never going to out last her

So why not join in?
Begin in spinnin’

My dust must spin around
I’m found spinning around

If you can’t beat her, let her eat ya
Joinin’ in spinnin’

Find fairies the best
Forget the rest
Pass Mother Nature’s test

What will the field yield
Butterflies surprise
Wind wisped wonders
As blue skies arise

In the forest, fast
Across a carpet of moss
Where the gnome roam
Saying, “there’s no place like home”

There’s wisdom in the stream
Can you see what I mean
Go with the flow
May consciousness grow

Imagination stimulation –> creation
The possibility of maybe
Envisioned dreams come true for you

Foresight for a fortnight
Guides you to alright / all right!

Sometimes taking the high road
Creates a burdensome load
Sometimes marching to a different beat / beet
Relieves you of your feet / feat

Sometimes taking the beaten path
Steals your last laugh
Sometimes blinded by your own wrath
Leads you to your death

Foresight into insight
Brings light into sight

Seen in a scene
Life is but a dream?

I saw all these people
In shades of purple
And, you were there… and, you were there
People in purple praying for resurrection
And, you were there… and, you were there
People in purple and upon reflection
Are you aware… you were there?
Purple people eaters… beaters of perfection
I swear
I wish I wasn’t there

Seen in a scene
Life is but a dream?

[row, row, row your boat
Gently down the stream
Merrily, merrily, merrily
Life is but a dream]

ABOUT THE SONG

Mark 15: The Soldiers Mock Jesus
(16) The soldiers led Jesus away into the palace (that is, the Praetorium) and called together the whole company of soldiers. (17) They put a purple robe on him, then twisted together a crown of thorns and set it on him. (18) And they began to call out to him, “Hail, king of the Jews!” (19) Again and again they struck him on the head with a staff and spit on him. Falling on their knees, they paid homage to him. (20) And when they had mocked him, they took off the purple robe and put his own clothes on him. Then they led him out to crucify him.

Body and mind
Get together and find
All physical and meta-physics
Combine fine in music

Drift on gravity’s draft
Riff away fretless on a fret

Catch my drift and get a lift
Once you fly you’ll learn to sigh
Ahhhh…

In music… in music

Soaring above any pain that’ll drive you insane
The angels’ refrain:
Soaring love of reign
Soaring love of rain
May it pour some more

Over the top ridiculous
I’m talking over-the-top
Say, “Way, way, way”
Over-the-top ridiculous
The illustrious us

Believe it or not there’s a social rot
A conspiracy to create conspiracy theory
Clearly, due to the lack of transparency
As I grew up, it was easy to see
Truth in the wisdom my Mama taught me

Eyeball deep in bull$hit
Throwing a tizzy fit
There ain’t no doubt about it
Probably time we own it

Under the bus
Illustrious us
Ill-us-trio-us

The last time opportunity
Had the courtesy of calling on me
Seized the opportunity
Tempted to put the devil out of misery

Like a bull in a china shop
Got the devil by the horns
On top of the world… tippy-top
At the pearly gates an angel adorns

Cross the river? Depends which one She (Lady Luck) picks
Not up $hit crick or the river Styx
In this match, must claim victory
Wrestled with the devil a regained my destiny

In the signal to the “All”

Transmission of “Man’s Mission”?

Have you heard the dirt
On the men of the Earth/earth

Birthlings in pain

Can’t seem to hear here
Falling on a deaf ear

Amaze at the ways we fill our days
Blocking the sun out
When will we begin to let the sun in
Lettin’ the shinnin’ sunshine shine in

I see too much debris in the air
I swear
Sense the fear of the smear
In the atmosphere
Stand clear

Too much mean between the dream
Blocking the love out
Time to shine our glean with the scene
Faith in no doubt
(Our faith in no doubt)

Fogged up
Fogged it up

We’re looking upward to be found
Rotations never slowing down
Going round and round

The logic of God is odd
Living for the approval nod
Selfish expression of sole sacrifice
Sugar and spice and everything nice

Is a supernatural being
Being natural at all?
No touching, hearing or seeing
Are you testing my gall?

Helps me keep my sanity

I wish the lyrics would come on quick

I know once the thoughts start to flow
Music will sway me to and fro

You take my square peg writer’s block
Out of my head’s round hole
You help pull my soul
With a tinge of ole’ folk rock

ABOUT THE SONG
I was sitting on the wall of the courthouse trying to write this song. No words were coming to the chords I was strumming. After about 45 minutes a lady approached me and said, “Thank you for your music. We were sitting behind you.” Then, she asked if she could give me money.

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)

Laughter the best deterrent to war

Laughter shields those we hold dear

Bring on the laughter faster and faster

Laughter – the best medicine
Bring on the laughter again and again

Before you know — snow

Open up the door lore
I want to take in some more
You know let’s go go-go
Out the door and take in some more

Reason… rhyme?

Weighs just to the mighty

Painting a painting
With a thousand words
Champion debating
Melting down their swords

If you’re going to “go off the deep end”
You’d better go off the deep end
For if you go shallow
You will come to know
Your head is hollow

If shallow is your puddle
And through your life you muddle
Remember:

Dum de dum de dum dum

Going deep
Deep, deep, deep

A calm comes over me
Naturally, fell the be

Rise with the sunrise
Searching for surprise
High from enterprise
No matter the number of tries

Along with Venus and Mars
Pass between the stars
Far beyond the wars
In the vision that is ours

Over the rainbow
In a place I didn’t know
Letting the mind grow
We harvest what we sow

Have we all been distracted
Appalled at the way I acted
Did you read the warning label correctly?
“Living life could be deadly”

Do we have “I’s” on both sides of our head
Haven’t heard a word that’s said
Did you read the warning label correctly?
“Living life could be deadly”

Though we can see… walking blindly
Choosing to act unkindly
Did you read the warning label correctly?
“Living life could be deadly”

Better look where you’re going
Or without knowing
You could be gone
Before too long
Better look where you’re going

Watch Out!.mp3

ABOUT THE SONG
Written at the corner of Gay and Church Streets in Chester County, West Chester, PA. When I started writing this song, a police officer that was driving by gave me the “hairy eyeball” instead of paying attention to where he was going. At the same time, a girl was walking across the crosswalk looking at her phone. We almost had one less police officer and one less pedestrian.

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!

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

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?

What am I living for?
I’m counting out time
… a death I can’t endure

What am I living for?
I’m taking in time
With reason and rhyme
That’s what I’m living for

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
All her children ring their bells
Joined the choir that sings with wings

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

Have you got it?
Come on and get it
Go get it
Have you got it in you?
Come on, do you?

In the key of blues

In a compassion fashion
Not rude and not lewd
With the love of a peace dove
Fortitude
I’ve got the fortitude
In the key of blues

And other amazing things
Unfurled
Wonders beyond the world

Heaven, again
You know…
From whence one will come, one will go
Heaven, again

It’s so lonely at home without you
Can’t hardly cry myself to sleep
No matter how I weep
I don’t know what to do
When are you coming home
I feel so all alone
Where am I going now?
I’ve got to help her somehow
When is she coming home
When is she?
I’m so lonely
When is she?

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

John Kelly.mp3

Strum a guitar, sing-a-long or hum
Yell! Swing to a melody so swell

Picking tunes… a plentiful bounty
You know… tap a toe… let it go
Do tell! A jig to keep you well

Going down to the river
Down to the sea
Going down to deliver
Down to “the see”

In the silent running
In the midst of floating
All together knowing
Where we’re going

In the silent running
All over the waterfall
Already knowing
Where we’re going

One too many
Times you’ve said
In a furry
“I wish you dead”
I can see clear
To “out of here”
Like the wind, I”m blowin’
You know… I’m gone

Maybe I am
Sensitive
To sarcasm
I’d rather live
I can see clear
To “out of here”
Like the wind, I”m blowin’
You know… I’m gone

Singing the song
Gone, gone, gone

Gone, Gone, Gone.mp3

Welcome to the final cliff-hanger
Like buffalo over… Man’s in dnager
The cliff is stiff… it will survive
Will there be a human to hang alive?
Stubborn human gas in their own oven
Amazed rats built a maze into their cage

Welcome to the final cliff-hanger
Times couldn’t get more stranger
The cliff is stiff… it will endure
As for humans… not so sure
Top of the food chain through the floor
Kill themselves ’til there are no more
… ’til their our – no more
… ’til the hour – no more
