Lyrics
A MOMENT TO RISE
It’s getting late – don’t hesitate – no time to waste
Nations at war ...
It’s getting late- approaching fate – no time to wait
Got to do more... (Sho’ no right)
But the world is plastic and the storyboard
It isn’t so fantastic anymore
One more life and another one wasted
One more time that a mother will cry
Two less friends in high and low places
One more round to the final divide
One more chance for a moment to rise
We complicate, retaliate, disintegrate
Nations at war...
It’s getting late – don’t hesitate – no time to waste
Got to do more... (Sho’ no right)
But the world is plastic and the storyboard
It isn’t so fantastic anymore
One more life and another one wasted
One more time that a mother will cry
Two less friends in high and low places
One more round to the final divide
One more chance for a moment to rise
IDLE AMERICAN
There’s a swarm of bees – buzzing round my brain
Some call it the complexity of a certain age
That swarm of bees, they call for change
Say it’s only temporary – I’m Idle American
Now there’s a smoldering fire – burning in my heart
And it’s hoping, wishing for addition and a little spark
Some kind of flame – which bears my name
And pulls me from the grips of this thing
I’m Idle American
Tossing pennies in a wishing well – now I want to fly
Tossing pennies in a wishing well – now I want to fly
And it pulls me from the grips of this thing ...
I’m Idle American
A SONG FOR MOTHER
She’s wonderful and she’s patient too - She’s marvelous when her eyes shine blue
Been there when times were tough, knows no rejection
She’s colorful, when the skies turn grey - My shelter in a hurricane
The essence of my soul... she’s my religion
Her dedication it’s amazing – living and breathing for her babies
And time has made her loving stronger - As my appreciation for her grows
In a song for mother... gave me love, gave me life - Thank you for the sacrifice
Gave me love, gave me life – thank you for the sacrifice... xoxo
She’s wonderful and she can cook too - Been a saint when I was playing fool
And never once complained – suffered in silence
She understands when words escape - Grabs hold my hand, when the worlds got weight
She’s my heaven, doubts are descending - She’s my religion...
Her dedication it’s amazing – living and breathing for her babies
And time has made her loving stronger - As my appreciation for her grows
In a song for mother... gave me love, gave me life - Thank you for the sacrifice
Gave me love, gave me life – thank you for the sacrifice... xoxo
ALONELY
Little Joey and his big jet plane – go and take him on a snow parade
Make him want to hitch a ride and stay – flying solo in the single lane
Alone, don’t mean... lonely
Little Joey and his big jet plane – golden records and a motorcade
Never wanted any fortune or fame – burning bridges in a hurricane
Alone, don’t mean... lonely
Drinking, kissing, gambling pissing – I haven’t had enough
Smoking, fucking more hard luck and, life could be so rough
Drinking, kissing, gambling pissing – haven’t had enough
Smoking, fucking more hard luck and, life could be so rough
Confessions of the heart confirm rejection in the mind
Foreplay to the validation, love is really blind
Little Joey and his big jet plane – gonna take his mama far away
Gonna make his mama proud one day- make her smile when they say his name
Alone, don’t mean... lonely
Alone it don’t mean, alone it don’t mean ,alone it don’t mean
Alone don’t mean lonely
ENTER TOMORROW
I woke up it was a Chelsea morning and the first thing that I heard...
Was falling rain, on my windowpane – made me feel mundane, such is today
Hey, it’s my birthday and I’m up on the midway – makes me wanna fly away, but I just can’t
Forging deeper into situation complication – question mark (2x)
CHORUS
And the blue flame flickers, reminiscent of your life
Clouds rush in like the years gone by
Everything is different, yet in fact it’s all the same
They say it’s just a number when you reach that certain age
You got, one life up ahead – you got, one life far behind
You’ll get more wrinkles than a T-shirt on the floor
Better to be leather, than to never have been worn
So I gaze out my windowpane, still watching the falling rain
Yeah I think about today and it makes me smile
It’s a happy, happy birthday – feeling lucky, alive and grey
I’m up on the midway... at least for today
Forging deeper into situation complication – question mark (2x)
CHORUS
Flying solo in the single lane, alone don’t mean lonely
Forging deeper into situation complication – question mark (2x)
CHORUS
IN THE RAINDROPS
Sometimes you feel like the color of raindrops
Depression and panic attacks, they just don’t stop
The anxiety is a place we live in
And the news we read is just a bunch of sinning
Hang on, be strong – Lady luck come say hello
Hang on, be strong – Changing winds consent to blow
In the, in the raindrops - In the, in the raindrops
Sometimes you feel like you’re climbing up treetops
Less for the living existing like robots
No identity, no place to fit it
And society is not about to give in
Hang on, be strong – some mistakes can help you grow
In the, in the raindrops - In the, in the raindrops
Run away, run away go... raindrops
