always
always think of me, always remember
loved ya truly, loved ya tender.
we had our good times, we had our splendor.
through the whole process, we did surrender.
never give up, never forget.
never let go, never regret.
reach in your heart, reach in your soul.
call out my name, never let go.
lovin’ each other, trustin’ the feelin’
meanwhile confusion outside was squealin’.
we never worried, did not suspect,
how suddenly, our lives could be wrecked.
never give up…

blood n' bone
once had dreams, once we could!
had a life, felt so good!
once had trust, knew m'friends,
thought "good guys win in the end."
times a changed, hate divides,
behind the masks, maggot flies...
great pretender, stol' the throne,
hungry now, fur blood 'n bone.
tranquility, we'll never find,
got this bloody ax to grind.
through creepin' darkness, shadows grow.
our worst fears, now we know!
pain's a smackin' smackin' hard,
heartache hell, our reward...
our little dreams, our fairy tale,
stomped 'n shattered...heartache hell!

crème de la crème
we have a house where our doggies,
our doggies belong.
much of our lives our ol’ doggies,
pull us along.
dozo an’ floozie an’ twinkie –
a fearsome guard.
protectin’ our castle protectin’
our kingdom our yard!
our doggies jus’ stretch an’ grin,
they call our house, “crème de la crème,
crème de la crème!”
summer’s a slippin’ a slippin’ out the door.
soon leaves will cover, will colour, forest floor.
dozo an’ floozie an’ twinkie our three muskateers,
pull us through circles, through circles,
seasons an’ years.
our doggies jus’ stretch an’ grin…

difficult
sometimes life can be difficult.
sometimes our feelings do somersaults.
sometimes heartache can result.
sometimes life can be difficult.
sometimes doesn’t matter what ya do.
sometimes, difficulties make ya blue.
sometimes doesn’t matter what ya say.
remember we love you each an’ every day!
regardless, how life’s treatin’ you,
we always are lovin’ you.
regardless what you have to face.
be true to yourself, keep your heart
in the right place.

elfkin lullabye
here we sit beside a stream where elfkin dwell.
listen as they gently cast their spell.
they can dance an’they can sing an’they can do a jig.
we can dance an’we can sing an’ we can take a swig.
spinnin’ down the corridors of time we go.
spinnin’ down the corridors of rock n’roll.
we can dance an’ we can sing an’ we can really fly.
we can soar to heaven with our elfkin lullaby.

high
what they say, never know,
but when you’re gone, miss you so!
what they think, who really cares.
we have a life, we really share.
you really really really matter to me,
heart to heart, simple an’ free.
you are the power I feel in m’bones.
you are the fire, bringin’ me home.
you really really really matter to me.
you are the sky, settin’ me free.
you are the moon, the stars in the sky.
you are the wind, firin’ me high, high, higher!

i pledge
what d’ya say, what will it be?
heaven on earth, or catastrophe?
soon we will morph, into one upon earth –
mother of all, home of our birth!
soon every nation, toss in the sword.
global pro army, can settle the score.
soon every nation, toss in the sword.
global pro army, can settle the score.
soon every conflict, cuttin’ us short –
new resolution, from our new world court.
soon every nation, shrink into states –
powerful partners, regenerate!
soon every human, wake up to the whole –
as brother an’ sister, we let it all go.
soon every human, wake up to the whole –
as brother an’ sister, we let it all go.
i pledge allegiance to the earth!
i pledge allegiance to the earth!
i pledge allegiance to the sun –
here we go now kingdom come!

into the sky
whatever go up,
whatever come down.
whatever be straight,
whatever come roun’.
cycle of life.
cycle of death.
cycle of love.
cycle of wrath.
thrust in m’back,
wing flyin’ high,
run down the field
an’ on up into the sky.
into the sky,
into the sky,
into the sky!
season a’gain,
season a’ loss,
we rollin’ stones,
gather no moss.
sunset below,
wind in m’hair,
touchin’ the stars,
skatin’ on air.
deep in m’heart,
here i belong,
up with the birds,
singin’ m’song!
into the sky…

JUNGLE
looking out, we see
clutter an’ debris,
our pain, our lives,
suffering inside
our hearts,
we know,
we are our
jungle home -
fresh air, sun light
natural delight!
our heart,
our life,
cut through
like a knife.
feel the flames
consume our soul,
feel the loss
the letting go,
feel the darkness
an’ despair
feel the flames...

LOUISVILLEKENTUCKY
wanderin' wounded,
up bloddy black trail,
doin' m' damnedest,
t' get the hell out of hell.
wanderin' wounded,
up bloody black trail,
doin' m' damnedest,
t' bang the big bell,
bang the big bell.
i come from the southland, derby city,
i come from the southland,
louisvillekentucky, louisvillekentucky!
you may remember,
'fore our world fell apart,
we here in the heartland,
had one hell of a start.
those days are over,
we're under attack,
together look forward,
an' never look back,
never look back!

macon
went down to macon –
a town i grew up from,
down to rose hill cemetary
where Duane an’ Berry run.
dropped by the big house,
out vineville avenue,
live oak in hot sun,
same as seventy two.
peaked through the cobwebs,
above the window pain,
everything’s so different,
yet everything’s the same.
hey, where do we run to?
hey, where do we run to?
hey, where do we run to?
hey, where do we run to!
remember the days,
days full an’ free,
rockin’ down the corridors,
of possibility.
climbed in the saddle,
crossed river time,
still the seven symbols,
linger in m’mind.
spirit of the blackfoot,
spirit of the nile,
spirit of the brothers,
no one dare defile!

moment
jus’ one moment,
wanted to say –
miss you more
an’ more every day.
jus’ one moment,
before we go.
always remember,
I love you so, love you so!
_____________________________________________________________________________
mystery
begin the endless void,
broken an’ destroyed.
say it’s a bad dream,
not really as it seems.
really as it seems,
we’ve lost everything.
gone is all our joy,
gone our precious boy!
like sunrays through a cloud,
you always made us proud.
our youngster once a lad,
sparklin’ as a dad.
jerm we miss you so,
how can we let you go.
we feel such misery,
yeah life’s a mystery.

NATURALLY
Lucky free birds in the jungle of love,
I’m your hawk, you’re m’dove.
Chirpin’ together in our little nest,
far far away from all a da rest.
Livin’ our lives, watchin‘em blend,
now we become, very best friends.
Mo’bedda’bradda we could a’wished,
dancin’ like birds, flyin’ like fish.
One thing’s for certain, one thing’s for sure,
one thing’s for certain, true love will endure.
If we never get married, we’ll never divorce.
Never be draggin’, kids thru the courts.
What’s yours is yours, what’s mine is mine,
what we together, truly sublime!”
If with children, happy we’d be,
bringin’ ‘em up, quite naturally.
If with children, happy we’d be,
livin’ our lives, quite naturally.
Freely we flow like a river t’sea,
livin’ our lives, quite naturally.
Clueless are they, where we’re comin’ from
goose stepin’ along t’their biblical drum.
One thing’s for certain…
We’ll never be tied down, always be free,
in it for you, in it for we.
What many do once we do again an’again,
each day we choose, together t’win.
We’ll never be tied down, always be free,
that’s how we live, quite naturally.
Like birds in the sky, our souls touch an’kiss,
hearts filled with laughter, hearts filled with bliss.
One thing’s for certain…

nice
we been mistreated,
we been used.
we been ambushed,
we been abused!
we been slandered,
stripped of our pride,
ridiculed an’ rejected,
hung out to die!
we been victim,
of what you connive,
stabbed in the back,
with your gossip an’ lies.
we told ya once, we told ya twice –
what’s comin’ down, ain’t gonna be nice.
we told ya once, we told ya twice –
ain’t gonna be nice, no, no,
ain’t gonna be nice!
you know what’s best,
for everyone’s head.
your sniffy nose,
through everyone’s bed.
you are so righteous,
you an’ your gang,
all you decide,
who’s gonna hang.
suck in your anger,
your evil deceit,
your animal self,
reeks with conceit!
we told ya once, we told ya twice…

do what I like, like what I do,
no regreats to pursue.
facin’ sun we glady surrender –
very very best to cosmic blender!

A PEACEFUL SOLUTION
(written by Willie & Amy Nelson, modified by patrick moore)
There is a peaceful solution. It’s called a peace revolution.
Now let’s take back America.
There’s a war and we’re in it, but I know we can win it.
So let’s take back America.
It’s a dream, so believe it.
Now get ready to receive it.
And let’s take back America.
And when the war is over and we’ve won it
let’s remember how we done it so we don’t have to do it again.
There is a peaceful solution. It’s called a peace revolution.
Now let’s take back America.
There’s a war and we’re in it, but I know we can win it.
Now let’s take back America.
There was a peace resolution
and a peaceful revolution
and the peaceful solution saved America

seal
was thinkin’ yesterday
is there still a way
t’bring it home to you,
what you need to do.
look deep inside your soul,
tell us that you know,
why you let us go?
we all have our darker days,
we have our price to pay,
for livin’ in this world.
still there is an inner self,
there is a higher self,
shinin’ like a star!
open up your heart,
make a brand new start,
connect with what is real,
shimmer like a seal!
bask in the sunlight,
play unto the night,
wake up to the dawn,
sing a happy song!
we all have our darker days…

she
she loved animals,
carribean melody,
a knack for the unusual,
dancin’ after tea.
can i ever know?
can i ever see?
what i was to you,
who you were to me?
can i ever know?
can i ever see?
what i was to you,
who you were to me?
she played with oil painting,
happy we were young.
then her glass was broken,
heart ache had begun.
can I ever know…
i recall shape of her neck.
i recall her lovely hands.
eyes so lonely dark an’ deep,
moonlight upon the sands.
can I ever know…
can I ever know?
can i ever see?
what I am to you,
who you are to me?

St. Petersburg
Midnight train leaving St. Petersburg
took me by surprise caught me without a word.
Touched by fountains gushing through the air,
white nights dancing in St. Isaac’s square.
Feelings cry out with deep regret,
like leaving parents I never met.
Feelings cry out with deep regret,
like leaving parents I never, ever met.
Summer palace of the mighty czar,
glasses of vodka with our caviar.
Haunting spirits in the hermitage,
only give us clues to their heritage.
Chorus
Crisscrossing streets over wide canals,
watching Elena as she laughs and smiles.
Falling through pages of history,
unspoken words filled with mystery.
Chorus

work song
in each day of livin’ there’s sweat an’ there’s toil,
some build a city while others till the soil,
for everyone must work, in order t’live,
each of us must find what we’ve go to give.
let us accept this burden, each of us alone,
t’do what we can, an’ what we have been shown,
to give everything, that we receive,
so something remains, when we leave.
we’re building the world now, yes you an’ me.
someday in the future we’ll come again to see.
things will be different then an’ we’ll hardly know,
that we had a part in makin’ it so.
help me my brothers through this long day.
I’ll keep on workin’ until I’m old an’ gray.
then i will thank you for comin’ along
an’ soon be leavin’ singin’ this song.
in each day of livin’ there’s sweat an’ there’s toil…

yourancha
took a flight out to the isles,
maybe for t’stay a while.
on a path down by the sea,
stumbled into destiny.
swimmer with flowin’ beard,
talkin’ jus’ this side of weird,
spoke about yourancha book,
“maybe ought t’take a look.”
“paradise is in our heart,
but soon our world may fall apart.
stop atomic accident,
create a global government!
“for local problem local government.
for national problem national government.
for global problem global government,
global mankind represent!
“myth of national sovereignty,
clobbers earth’s security,
only global sovereignty,
can ever really set us free!”
“paradise is in our heart…”
