Good Old Friend

Good Old Friend
Is this just an endless stream
Another day get up and dream
In decision, in despair
Romantic’s life is just not fair
But why must this happen day in and day out
Why must my hope always end up in doubt
Is my fate just to be some unknown shroud
I’m not sure, sure, sure sure
If I could see what was wrong with you
I would understand
If I could see what was wrong with myself
I’d be more of a man
And if I could see what was wrong with this whole world
I would lend my helping hand
And what about you, what about you, and what about you
My good old friends
The earth spins ‘round a day goes by
I’m feeling healthy I don’t mind
Trying to make another buck
This modern world really sucks
But why must this happen day in and day out
Why must my hope always end up in doubt
Is my fate just to be an unknown shroud
I’m not sure, sure, sure sure
If I could see what was wrong with you
I would understand
If I could see what was wrong with myself
I’d be more of a man
And if I could see what was wrong with this whole world
I would lend my helping hand
And what about you, what about you, what about you
My good old friends
And what about you
What about you
And you, and you, and you
You

Forever Girl
05:15
|
|||
You are gray
I am if you say I am
I’ve known you through a flood of lifetimes
When I catch a glimpse of the twinkle in your eye
You smile with knowledge of my notice
And lure me into the comfort of your mind
I may not have been ready any time before
But I’m the man I’m supposed to be now
You are my forever girl
You’re always in my dreams
Since time was young you’ve just been
One step out of reach
Time makes no limits on imagination
We’re as old as we want to be
When you meet someone special over and over
But each time unable to be complete
I believe that she’s out there somewhere
And I hope when I find her I’m what she needs
She is my forever girl
Always on my mind
Lost and found forever girl
One step out of time
Why do I feel like gravity
When I only want to be the breeze
I feel the magnetic pull of something
Stronger than the passage of time
Two beings entwined in the destiny of nature
Creating art from division so sublime
Yes I am forever girl
Always in your dreams
Lost and found forever girl
One step out of reach
You are my forever girl
Always on my mind
You are forever girl
One step out of time
Time, time, time, time, time, time, time
The rays of the sun are making shadows somewhere
The rays of the sun are making shadows somewhere
It may be sunny here but it’s raining over there
The rays of the sun are making shadows somewhere
The rays of the sun are making shadows somewhere
It may be raining here but it’s sunny over there

Knock It All Down
03:42
|

Went down to the park, stayed until it’s dark
Had a good time
Shufflin’ with the band, wavin’ to the fans
Winds start blowing
And Jah mon
She can knock it all down
Knock it all down
Go on
And Jah mon
She can knock it all down
Knock it all down
Go on
Hate mon, a really deadly game
Players are insane politicians
Together we can find a way
To see a brighter day in our future
And Jah mon
She can knock it all down
Knock it all down
Go on
And Jah mon
She can knock it all down
Knock it all down
Go on
Now I’m learning
Yes indeed
To be patient
And believe
That a time may come some day, my friend
Though we may never see it
With the grace of Jah the sun will shine on
And the tunes go ever playing
Punk mon, really state of mind
Players want some kind of revolution
Together we can find a way
To see a brighter day in our future
And Jah mon
She can knock it all down
Knock it all down
Go on
And Jah mon
She can knock it all down
Knock it all down
Go on
Jah mon (And Jah mon
She can knock it all down
Knock it all down
Go on)
She can knock it all down
(And Jah mon
She can knock it all down)
Jah mon, Jah mon
(Knock it all down
Go on)
Go on

Even The Cool Succumb
02:49
|
|||
I’ve got too many irons in the fire
I got a heart filled with genuine desire
My brains ain’t fried
And I never lie
I’ve got a soul full of true compassion
Though it never really seems to be in fashion
I can’t deny
That the time is right
I’m gonna rock ya, gonna roll ya, gonna really take control yeah
Gonna move ya, gonna groove ya, gonna really cut ya loose
I’m gonna be so hot that
Even the cool succumb
I had a hard time finding my direction
When I looked at my reflection
With tired eyes
And it’s no surprise
I make the most of life with what I’m given
Though it’s hard to believe I could be driven
By greed and pride
And not guiding light
Gonna take it to the limit, better watch me every minute
Gonna learn it as I live it, gonna burn it if I wish it
Gonna be so hot that
Even the cool succumb
I can’t really show you by example
Cuz I don’t really seem to have a handle
On winning ways
Just financial praise
Some people’s future is well written
Other people’s destiny’s well hidden
Do what you know
And go with the flow
I’m your fearless leader, you don’t really believe me
Rock ‘n’ roll’s your teacher, if you let it reach ya
Be so hot that
Even the cool succumb
Be so hot
Even the cool succumb
Be so hot
Even the cool succumb
Be so hot
Even the cool succumb
Hot
Cool

Stand and Fight
03:36
|
|||
You should know by the tone in my voice
Life is giving you a multiple choice
And I can read what I want into anything
Is it real, or am I just imagining
Could it be reality or fantasy
Just make it critical or flattering
Cut me to pieces, build me like a wall
I want to know how you feel, I give you my all
Doesn’t really matter if I’m wrong or I’m right
I just want to know if I should run
Or stand and fight
Stand and fight, stand and fight
I won’t run away from my guiding light
Stand and fight, stand and fight
Like a king for his queen ‘cause he knows he’s right
Stand and fight, stand and fight
I can’t run away from my guiding light
Stand and fight, stand and fight
Like Tarzan for his Jane protects her paradise
I can tell by the sparkle in your eyes
That subconsciously you’re trying to entice me
And I can read what I want into anything
Is it real, or am I just imagining
Could it be reality or fantasy
Just make it critical or flattering
Cut me to pieces, build me like a wall
I want to know how you feel, I give you my all
Doesn’t really matter if I’m wrong or I’m right
I just want to know if I should run
Or stand and fight
Stand and fight, stand and fight
I won’t run away from my guiding light
Stand and fight, stand and fight
Like a king for his queen ‘cause he knows he’s right
Stand and fight, stand and fight
I can’t run away from my guiding light
Stand and fight, stand and fight
Like Tarzan for his Jane protects her paradise
I hope the girl in you is ready to be a woman
‘Cause the boy in me is ready to be a man
And I can read what I want into anything
Is it real, or am I just imagining
Could it be reality or fantasy
Just make it critical or flattering
Cut me to pieces, build me like a wall
I want to know how you feel, I give you my all
Doesn’t really matter if I’m wrong or I’m right
I just want to know if I should run
Or stand and fight
Stand and fight, stand and fight
I won’t run away from my guiding light
Stand and fight, stand and fight
Like a king for his queen ‘cause he knows he’s right
Stand and fight, stand and fight
I can’t run away from my guiding light
Stand and fight, stand and fight
Like Tarzan for his Jane protects her paradise
Stand and fight, stand and fight
Stand and fight, stand and fight

Beasties
03:50
|
|||
Beasties, beasties, beasties, beasties
Beasties, beasties, beasties, beasties
Beasties, beasties, beasties, beasties
Beasties believe in endless pleas, a tease to ease their freakasies
Rants beyond the eyes of dawn comes alive on seeds of song
Creepy empty space in time delineates my aching rhyme
Sometimes heated sorrow becomes true bliss
Even if I’ve tried to find a pathway to a better clime
If my try seemed vastly dark, no glimmer of light, no sign of a spark
Even though I feel the pull, of every bad decision culled
Between my spirit’s dream untold, I believe there’s something to this
A beastie is not just human, psychically diminished ruin
Devoured through and through in, darkly depths within
Failed like a withered blowhard, delinquent emotional shit-tard
Lost in a ghastly brain fart, disgusted that it’s so hard
As the art flows through your heart, coloured by dissenting marks
Leaving space to be replaced by moments of un-splendored grace
Contradictory desire, contorting even arts’ inspired
No one believes that they can change this
Enlightened business of the claw, reaches out to touch yet mauls
The flesh, the soul, the bonds of cold, demeaning self control
Distracted yet from the timely set of requirements of human debt
Without the sense to feel remiss, I believe there’s something to this
A beastie is not just human, psychically diminished ruin
Devoured through and through in, darkly depths within
Failed like a withered blowhard, delinquent emotional shit-tard
Lost in a ghastly brain fart, disgusted that it’s so hard
Whether we be strong or weak, whether there’s a final peak
Clever, life is, so to speak, a vacuum of aloneness
Grip the charcoal control your grasp, paint by numbers without a task
Black and white oblivious lapse, the actions that define us
Beasties, beasties, beasties, beasties
Beasties, beasties, beasties, beasties
Beasties live with hopes of chance, change their queer by circumstance
No special needs or crucial greed, just find a place to be at ease
No one understands their pain, superficial attempt to gain
A freedom from their madness
Never worry that beasties exist, within that space of time persists
A fluid reminder of the lost track of time were there any involving the mind
Beyond what is normal, a beastie is formally challenged to be what it’s formed
Unique is better than sameness, a freedom from their madness
Unique is better than sameness, a freedom from their madness
Unique is better than sameness, a freedom from their madness
(Beasties, beasties, beasties, beasties
Beasties, beasties, beasties, beasties)
Unique is better than sameness, a freedom from their madness
(Beasties, beasties, beasties, beasties
Beasties, beasties, beasties, beasties)
Unique is better than sameness

Dinosaur Rock
03:36
|

He’s a big Tyrannosaurus, about 80 feet long
Big and ugly and awful strong
Got a roar that rings like a gong
Just leaving destruction as he moves along
Jenny Lou playing on the steps, doesn’t know that he’s loose yet
A big dinosaur from another age, about to crush her porch in a rage
Run Jenny Lou, he’s coming after you
He’s got no sense of humor and he plans on eating you
There’s nothing you can do, there’s nothing you can say
Turn up the radio and hope he’ll dance away to the
Dinosaur
Dinosaur rock
I’m making lots of money and I like it a lot
He does the
Dinosaur
Dinosaur rock
It's the same old game it’s the same old schlock
Dinosaur
Dinosaur rock
Dinosaur
Dinosaur rock
Dinosaur
Dinosaur rock
Dinosaur
Yeah, dinosaur rock
There’s always been a music that sounds like it
It’s a heavy kind of dance and it goes like this
Put one foot forward and shake your hips
Then jump up and down ‘til the record skips
There’s prehistoric passion in the rhythm of the drums
Hearts beating in the tar pits everybody’s overcome
You thought they were extinct, then you were surely fooled
Even though their brains are small they really had a groove
So listen on your radio, tune in on your video
Really big sound from the days gone by
There’s nothing you can do, there’s nothing you can say
Turn up the radio and hope he’ll dance away to the
Dinosaur
Dinosaur rock
I’m making lots of money and I like it a lot
He does the
Dinosaur
Dinosaur rock
It’s the same old game it’s the same old schlock
Dinosaur
Dinosaur rock
Dinosaur
Dinosaur rock
Dinosaur
Dinosaur rock
Dinosaur
Yeah, dinosaur rock

Stand Up And Be Counted
05:36
|
|||
There’s a call to arms in the world today
Fear and greed seem to lead the way
Driven by invertebrates
Who can’t stand up, we’ve become their slaves
To control your world, and drive you mad
Make you think that it all has gone bad
Without a knowledge of the past
Or sense of logic even if crass
We’ll take a pass
Stand up and be counted
Listen heed the call
Stand up and be counted
You’re an individual
Stand up and be counted
Hey you, up against the wall
Stand up and be counted
You’re no individual
Who among us will heed the call
Support the cause to freedom’s hall
With a sincere sense of it all
As we stand up, see the cracks in their wall
To control our food, our air and minds
Truth so painful, sheep stay blind
Destroying our climate is so unkind
There is no sense in letting it slide
If this is the future, we’ve run out of time
Stand up and be counted
Watch the bullies fall
Stand up and be counted
Many individuals
Stand up and be counted
Hey you, up against the wall
Stand up and be counted
You’re no individual
They attack our culture, attach our bonds
Detach our future, they’d rather build bombs
They divide to conquer, and take our funds
We can take down their egos, open their flaws
Teach them some lessons about passing bad laws
Stand up to the bullies, stand up to the fear
Stand up to the cowards, stand up to the sheep
We’ll stand up as humans, stand for our needs
Bullies come and bullies go
History has the skill to show
What happened before we now know
Can happen today if we don’t grow
Small minded beings inhabit the earth
Millions of creatures primordial birth
Beings not capable of filling the dearth
Breeding new bullies without any worth
Can we defeat them, they seem so immersed
Stand up and be counted
Hey you, hear the call
Stand up and be counted
If you’re an individual
Stand up and be counted
Hey you
Watch the bullies fall
Stand up and be counted
Many individuals
Stand up and be counted
Sheep need not stall
Stand up and be counted
We’re all Individuals
Stand up and be counted
Hey you
Time to move the wall
Stand up and be counted
You’re all individuals
Stand Up

Empathy
04:57
|
|||
I took a few deep breaths, took my mind off the mess
Into the outer reaches of the cosmos I leapt
Where questions were not asked, because no one there is tasked
With beings with brains evolving
They keep needing to know how and why
If my quest has found a light to shine
There was a calm in the universe
As the experience fell exclusively to the human experiments
Affecting no one and nothing in the outer worlds
Yet essential in evolving the universal goals
I felt the calm, it was strengthening
I knew my fate and my destiny
I felt the resolve to accomplish my mission
To understand the cause of those irrational emotions
Here I see the difference, but fail to see how
One can choose to be one or the other
Is it math, or science, father or mother
What beastie are you and what are you made of
Controlled from within and unable to feel love
Does nature, genetics, society
Universal guidance or a combo of these
Attributes and deflections
Unguided sad reflections
Cause one human to be kind and fair
And another obsessed with power will just not care
The beastie Empathy will shake your core
Makes you feel deeply what you never felt before
If you have the conscience to lovehelp one another
Empathy is mother nature’s lover
The beastie Fear can shake your core
Makes you feel deeply what you never felt before
Creates no conscience to help one another
Fear is not mother nature’s lover
The beastie Greed can shake your core
Makes you feel deeply what you never felt before
Destroys the conscience to help another
Greed is definitely not nature’s lover
The beastie Hate can shake your core
Makes you feel deeply what you never felt before
Manipulates the conscience to hell with one another
Hate cannot be mother nature’s lover
The beastie Hope will shake your core
Makes you feel deeply what you never felt before
Enlarges your conscience to help one another
Hope is truly mother nature’s lover
Empathy
You see it in the floods and in the fires
You see it in the hurricanes of human desire
Empathy
You feel it in the panic to your cries
Your actions show your feelings as your spirit starts to rise
Empathy
Drives you like an engine deep inside
To do what’s right no matter there’s no prize
Empathy
Empathy
Starts to rise

Love and Let Love
04:36
|
|||
Some say to live and let live is being alive
They move about the planet just trying to survive
Content as a bee provides for the hive
As the queen, so serene waits patiently to die
Some say that life is to experience the ride
That feeling of being takes you to the ends of time
Why bother to be worried when a sickness seeps inside
Try to be one, who can feel the sun and lets their lovelight shine
Without the drive to see outside their driven genetic complacency
Humans divided by decency
Believe in impossibilities
Enjoy the abundant delicacies
Can’t control what is destiny
Just love and let love
Some say that life is just a fantasy
This hologram is not a true symbol of reality
3D and so deep beyond the mind’s capacity
We have become a victim of technology
Some say that life is just a history
You try to make something that remains your legacy
Could be cast as revisionist memories
To be whole inside, and feel the ride to lovelight is free
Without the drive to see outside their driven genetic complacency
Humans divided by decency
Believe in impossibilities
Enjoy the abundant delicacies
Can’t control what is destiny
Just love and let love
Some say that time and space are just distractions
Those who haven’t lived them just cannot fathom
I see the universe expanding toward the horizon
We see the earth, another birth could be another victim
Some say we have a fate beyond our means
To be part of something larger as we live out our dreams
Scattered among all human screams
Try to be defining
Always be shining
Your lovelight gleams
Without the drive to see outside their driven genetic complacency
Humans divided by decency
Believe in impossibilities
Enjoy the abundant delicacies
Can’t control what is destiny
Just love and let love
Without the drive to see outside their driven genetic complacency
Humans divided by decency
Believe in impossibilities
Enjoy the abundant delicacies
Can’t control what is destiny
Just love and let love

Dive
05:10
|

Dive like a mad man, a flying crying sad man
Circle the ground on wings of hope
Believe you can fly for as long as you can
Dive towards the crazy, the ultimate joy
Don’t be lazy or shy or coy
Be the bird, not some beastie in your mind
Discover the thrill as the sun burns your eyes
There is no awareness to tell you to stop
The ground comes ever closer to ending your drop
You gotta dive
Leap from the precipice
Into the abyss
You gotta dive
like this
Dive like the strong one, or some insipid wrong one
Watching your shadow on the earth below
The jump is your freedom, if you truly won
Dive to the future, your past is long gone
The open door of nature begs for your song
See as those around you in amazement they watch
The whole scene is changing to a world you can touch
It’s all heading towards you, continue to fall
There is only you in your head to answer your call
You gotta dive
Magic in motion
Believe that you can
You gotta dive
Like I am
Dive
Like I am
Dive like you know it’s the best way to go
Imagine what’s good and not what’s down below
Your wings may evolve but you’ve never been here
Feel the rush of the fall as you break the air
Believe there’s an option, the end is not near
It’s all in your hands, your mind and you’re clear
To dream big and hopeful, smile ear to ear
Give change a chance
Dive without fear
You gotta dive
Leap from the precipice
Into the abyss
You gotta dive
like this
Dive
Like this
Dive
Dive
Like this

Why
04:27
|
|||
“Why” becomes the question
When answers are evolving
As the questions are asked from many perspectives
Many options exist
“Why Not” may be the solution
As there may be no correct answers
Each being only serves the purpose
Of moving time forward
And time never stops
But that doesn’t mean that anything is linear
Humans are the most curious of species
With traits of all beings that evolved before them
Along with that special stardust imbedded within their genetic code
They think, they feel, procreate
Evolve, manifest and deviate
Other species on the planet respect, fear and/or idolize
And time never stops
But that doesn’t mean that anything is clearer
Yet there are some humans whose animal instincts
Deep internal grief and conditioning
Have made them dangerous to the planet itself
I have discovered directly in my face
The cause perplexing the human race
On the planet, as bigotry and hate
Division, anger, fear and greed were the same
Curses that had destroyed previous universal experiments
Yeah
Once a meteor was sent instead of a messenger
To restart this planet all over again
Uh Huh
Can humans evolve to be more than just food chain
Awww
“Why” is the equation
When answers are evolving
As the questions are asked
From many perspectives
Many versions exist
“Why Not” is deviation
As there may be no correct answers
Each being only serves the purpose
To reproduce or die
“Why” is the big picture
When answers are not coming
As the questions are asked from many perspectives
Many universes exist
“Why Not” may be the answer
As there may be no correct questions
Each being only serves the purpose
Of human evolution
And time never stops
Never stops
Never stops
Never stops
Never stops

The Price of a Kiss
06:07
|
|||
I’ve come to consider at a time like this
The cost to a soul of the price of a kiss
A futile desire for the simplest twist
Of nature’s grace and human bliss
To crave for a simple emotional lift
A gesture, or words, an encouraging gift
Instead to be burdening creating a rift
Time makes change the practical shift
To dream like a young man
With the knowledge of the ages like a stupid anagram
Never know just who steps up
‘Cause anything can happen
Giving back for graces earned
Paying forward for lessons learned
Giving back for graces earned
Paying forward for lessons learned
Again I consider the price of a kiss
When they are free everywhere, and can be had for an ask
Can this be discussed with mutual respect
Or best set aside for that moment when if
Imaginary reality is the kindest routine
Insecurity can destroy the strong dreamer’s dream
Hopeless it would seem to believe that it’s real
Must carve out time and space to heal
To love like a young man
The universe guides me
Like some fucked up hologram
Never know just who’ll step up
‘Cause anything can happen
Giving back for lessons learned
Paying forward for graces earned
Giving back for lessons learned
Paying forward for graces earned
To dream like a young man
With the knowledge of the ages
Like a stupid anagram
To love like a young man
The universe guides me
Like some fucked up hologram
Never know just who’ll step up
‘Cause anything can happen
Giving back for graces earned
Paying forward for lessons learned
Giving back for graces earned
Paying forward for lessons learned
Giving back for graces earned
Paying forward for lessons learned
Giving back for graces earned
Paying forward for lessons learned
Giving back for graces earned
Paying forward for lessons learned
Giving back for graces earned
Paying forward for lessons learned

Foolish Old Man
05:02
|
|||
I’m no foolish old man
I’ll tell you what is real or what’s real in your mind
The smartest old man
A younger man’s dream in a well-worn main frame
Smoothest old man
Though no one can believe that this pretty girl is into me
Foolish old man
He is just delusional, he’s losing his facilities
I’m such a clever old man with a checkered past
No one could believe that my luck would last
As long as it has never having to lose
Wealthy and entitled built a world I could rule
A traumatized boy with no patience to wait
Within him bad beasties beyond human restraint
In between the agony, this humorless beast
Can’t be trusted to be kind, to say the least
He’s a foolish old man
Foolish old man
Not sure what is real or what’s real in his mind
He’s no foolish old man
Foolish old man
He’s a younger man’s dream in a well-worn main frame
Just a foolish old man
Foolish old man
I can’t believe that pretty girl is really kinda into him
No foolish old man
Foolish old man
You are delusional and losing your facilities
Hey you foolish old man with a head way too large
Why do you let all of this greed take charge
My profit and fame are my true reward
And none of it needs to be shared with the world
Do you believe that you alone can decide all of their fates
Without science, conscience, morals or a healthy debate
I alone am the smartest, the greatest, the one
Who can keep the wheels turning and get the job done
You’re a foolish old man
Foolish old man
Why don’t you believe him, he’s trying to do everything
I’m no foolish old man
Foolish old man
Just a younger man’s dream that may be what you’re looking for
Not a foolish old man
Foolish old man
That pretty girl was always just so repulsed by him
What a foolish old man
Foolish old man
You are so delusional, the sheep will turn away from you
You’re not really a great capitalist, you’re nothing more than a narcissist
What happened to those promises, to change the fate for the rest of us
He never meant you Citizens, he was looking out for his brethren
What about the families, freedoms and prosperity
Hey you foolish old man, we see through your scam
Even those who had been fooled realize they’ve been had
You had your time controlling our lives for your plan
Now the universe might try to take its own stand
Foolish old man
Foolish old man
Not sure what is real or what’s real in his mind
Foolish old man
Foolish old man
I’m a younger man’s dream in a decrepit old main frame
Foolish old man
Foolish old man
Nobody believed that pretty girl was into him
Foolish old man
Foolish old man
You are just as disposable as all of your commodities
When that foolish old man was laid down in his grave
Natural cause the culprit from a life full of waste
There will be other beasties following bad beasties’ desire
To win by all means, set the planet on fire
Foolish old man
Foolish old man
Foolish old man
Foolish old man
Foolish old man
Foolish old man
You’re just a fool

You've Gotta Understand
04:41
|

You may think that I don’t love you
Or you may think I’m just a fool
I’ve just always had this trouble staying cool
And when you’ve gone and left us
For some other memories
Take the knowledge we’ve been humbled and set free
You’ve gotta understand
I’m just tryin’ to be my own kind of man
You’ve gotta understand
I’m not useless and I’m doing the best I can
Do what you want, take what you need, leave what ya don’t
Don’t soften
Opportunity knocks just once, but greed knocks often
It can nail your coffin
You’ve gotta understand
I’m just tryin’ to be my own kind of man
You’ve gotta understand
I’m not helpless and I’m doing the best I can
And in your darkest moments
I hope I brought you light
Even as I’ve grown up keeping right
Remember all the good times
Keep the spirit in your heart
And always keep the heavens on your charts
You gotta understand
I’m just tryin’ to be my own kind of man
You’ve gotta understand
I’m not useless and I’m doing the best I can
You’ve gotta understand
You’ve gotta understand

Hope
06:56
|
|||
I wake another morning at the dawning lost in thought
Wonder about the thunder in my mind and in my heart
Moving to the future in the nurture of the pain
Alone with distant music pounding rhythms in the rain
Human yet immortal lost in time outside the portal
Given to disaster with a thought of dying faster
Hope can be fleeting, never have the chance of being
The saving grace of knowledge and change
Be the one, who inspires the sun and blooms the flowers in springtime
Hope is the only magic that illuminates the strange
Give love to each other
Be kind to strangers
Maybe hope is the answer
Whatever the question
Can’t be too kind
Another day of doubt, no idea what it’s about
Isolation’s not the equation to cure a human heart
Belief in the possible and not the irrational
Learn what is feasible even if it’s difficult
The mind’s the only muscle that can make you cry
Take you beyond the errant squandered wish to try
Hope may not help weaklings, or narcissistic beings
Working towards a solution to force their evolution
Power of the mind can create the kind of feelings
Destructive to the soul, deep control of sad devotion
What about you? What About You? And You?
Give love to each other
See the kindness of strangers
May hope be the answer
Whatever the question
Can’t be too kind,
Be kind to all
Kindness is the currency of the Universe. Spend Freely, spend freely.
The rays of the sun are making shadows somewhere
It may be sunny here but it’s raining over there
Giving back from lessons learned, paying forward for graces earned
Just love and let love
Elation often fleeting leaves the heart slowly beating
For the passage of time or the change within the mind
As we witness the erosion of a soul explosion creeping
We find the strength to keep our distance length behind
Moving with the wind keeping fluid stance within the fire
Never taking chance to enjoy the happenstance of desire
Hope is a glance towards one happy dance against the odds
Or be nothing more than disaster in store with only fear to follow
Believe in the outcome you want and find your path to the gods
Lest your wishes and dreams become manipulated schemes of horror
Beasties, beasties, beasties, beasties
Beasties, beasties, beasties, beasties
Beasties, beasties, beasties, beasties
Beasties, beasties, beasties, beasties
Empathy
You see it in the floods and in the fires
You see it in the hurricanes of human desire
Empathy
You feel it in your panic to your cries
Your actions show your feelings
as your spirit starts to rise
Empathy
Drives you like an engine deep inside
To do what’s right no matter there’s no prize
Give love to each other
See the kindness of strangers
Maybe hope is the answer
Whatever the question,
Can’t be too kind
Be the love for each other
See the kindness of strangers
Hope IS the only answer
Whatever the question
Be kind to all
Be kind to all
Be kind to all
Be kind, be kind, to all
Unique is better than sameness
Unique is better than sameness
Beasties be kind!
