Rock the Boat

Way up in the sky

Past the crowds

I think about

All of time

*

When I really try

With loud shouts

To think about

All of time

I cross the moat

And storm the castle

I rock the boat

As we cast off

*

And we float into the stars

Raise the bar right from the start

*

And they say as time fades away

I don’t want to battle

I’ll pass on the hassle 

Pass on the hassle?

I hope that it is not

going to be too late

*

We must hit our target

Peace and love can be our fate

**

Way up in the sky

Past the clouds

I think about

All of time

*

When I really try

Without doubt

To think about

All of time

I cross the road

Climb up the last hill

I lock and load

Then I blast off

*

And I drive into the stars

Very far with all my heart

*

And they say as time fades away

I don’t want to battle

It just doesn’t matter 

It doesn’t matter?

I hope that it is not

going to be too late

*

We can never forget

Peace and love

should be our fate

Coincidence?

I can’t deny the correlation

But is there connected causation?

Sometimes a hidden meaning

is pure coincidence

But actually, everything is connected

How could it not be?

Just sometimes it is more relevant

to our current existence

**

I said what I said

And I meant every word of it

At least what I intended to say

Often far past the time I said it

*

We might get too far ahead of ourselves

If we don’t really get it

But if we open up to

the shared page in the first place

We can understand it for our self

**

I can’t deny the synchronicity 

But is there any true causation?

Sometimes a hidden meaning

creates pure paradox

But actually, everything is protected

How could it not be?

Just sometimes it is safer when we are

behind thick doors and locks

**

I heard what I heard

And I comprehend every word of it

At least what I choose to hear

Often far past the time they said it

*

We can’t get too far ahead of ourselves

If we have to write it

Or if we open up

to the last page just to keep pace

and try to understand it for ourselves

***

Well?

The words that I say

You can twist any way

So long as you know

that I do mean well

*

From a distance I’m weird

But it’s not like you feared

We are not going

To the depths of hell

*

We are surveying the scene

Thoughts that seem dirty

may not be mean

Action misunderstood

Could actually be good

We work together to keep it clean

**

The words that I speak

I can always tweak

Just so that you know 

I truly mean well

*

From some angles I’m wrong

But please hear my new song

It’s not just for show

I hope you can tell

*

Now I am setting the scene

Thoughts might seem dark

But inside are bright

Visions misunderstood

Could still be very good

We work together to keep it light

**

Now wheels start spinning

Gaining traction

Our world is winning

With kind action

Don’t misjudge others too quick

We all need a grip

On the words and the intentions

With no apprehension

towards all the angles

And not just our personal fractions

**

The words that I share

May not seem to care

But just so you know

Deep down

I always mean well

A Nice Tune

I will not change my tune

I am hitting the moon

So we can have some fun

As we race around the sun

*

Highest heights are achieved

When we just calmly breathe

The lowest we can go

Is when we just don’t know

*

But the most sideways it gets

Is when we are

placing our bets

And we fall deep in debt

As the sun sets

*

I’m not really a gambling guy

But when the prize hits my eye

I will go over the moon

To hear that tune

*

Seems like a safe bet

Out for all that we can get

To see fickle fate swoon

It must happen soon

*

Now we are having more fun

As we race around the sun

*

Highest heights are achieved

When we just calmly breathe

The lowest we can go

Is when we just don’t know

*

When we just don’t know

Which way to go

To work some more

Or go to the show

The sun is blazing bright today

We follow life.the only way

*

But the most sideways it gets

Is when

there are no safety nets

And we can’t cool our jets

As the sun sets

The moon never forgets

***

I Feel

Courageous pursuit

Unusual approach

I can’t stop continuing on

Chasing a ghost

*

The words are overflowing

And I feel the music healing

Beyond a shadow of a doubt

What is it all about?

*

Our perspective 

Depends on our constitution

Health and inner strength

Help us work things out

*

We can find it in music

We can’t ever lose it

**

Persuasive new route

Keep using more notes

I can’t stop continuing on

Now we are close

*

Our story keeps on growing

I feel the music healing

Beyond a shadow of a doubt

It’s what it’s all about

*

Our perspective

Depends on our focus

Wellness and contentment

We should not live without

*

We can find it in music

We just have to choose it

That’s what it’s all about

***

Keep on Driving, Keep on Wishing

To reach the distant goals set

We take time and fold it

We may have to change our pathway

Maybe find a super fast way

If there is one

that actually exists

**

I open my arms to the last days

Between now and then we work on our mission

Find the key

Turn it in the ignition

Keep on driving 

Keep on wishing

*

We may have to take the slow way

It may seem that there is no way

With patience we get past more turns and twists

**

I open my arms to the new days

Always now

and when we achieve our mission

Find the key

Use all our intuition 

Keep on driving 

Keep on wishing

*

If we rush we may take the wrong way

If it seems there’s only one way

With wisdom we learn from when we hit or miss

**

To reach the distant goals set

We take time and fold it

We always stay on our pathway

Find the future

Leave the past way

A better tomorrow

Always exists

*

We start with today

Our mission

Always exists

***

Supporting Words

It is a mild season

There is no reason

To be feeling the way we are feeling

*

Appeasing the feeling

And now we are healing

We had tears but we had to release them

**

In careers that we take

Our plan is strained

We need

more understanding to work with

When we can reach out to new branches

Each day advances

We do need understanding to secure this

*

Like supporting words

From honest people

And brilliant actions

That help make peace strong

**

It is a wild season

I know that’s the reason

I am feeling the way I am feeling

*

Freedom the feeling

It is how we are dealing

I have fears but I can release them

**

In the deals that we make

A hand well-played

Also needs something to work with 

When we make good of our chances

Each day enhances

We just need

something more to ensure this

*

Like supporting words

From honest people

And brilliant actions

That bring more freedom

*

Like a little push

A hand when needed

Supporting words

Instead of greed and

Follow through to bring more peace and

Freedom for the season

*

Find supporting words

To create more spaces

For cheerful faces

With more

understanding and reason

***

Share Some Peace

The work was set out for us

Just as clear as day

Appreciated immensely

If it’s done today

The door hinges will not rust

We don’t have to stay

Still anticipated intensely

Now, we are on our way

**

The chance is set up for us

Just as stark as day

We are listened to intently

When it’s done today

On the fringes we must trust

That we will get paid

Now we are

all done pretending 

In this wild marketplace

**

We want what we want

Hope you find what you need

The product we flaunt

Should in some ways be free

*

We act how we act

Hope to get what we need

The greatest impact

Is to create more peace

*

Peace should come for free

I will help you

If you help me

Share our hard work

Have some fun

At the end of our run

Join everyone and

Share some peace

Find some peace

Love one another

**

The future sets in for us

Just as true as day

Take more time for comprehending 

What is done today

The orange is calm at dusk

Turn to black from grey

Now tomorrow we are sensing 

Be cool and kind

come what may

**

Peace should come for free

I will help you

If you help me

Share our hard work

Have some fun

At the end of our run

Join everyone and

Share some peace

Find some peace

Love one another

Some Things to Carefully Think About

We are just seeds

Mixed in with millions

Will we ever grow?

Will we make it through?

*

So many never make it

Some just have to fake it

There is no way to know

If they will

ever let us through

*

The wind and the Earth

The rain and the sun

In the systems we are immersed

Higher ups can

control everyone

**

I am just one person

Mixed in with billions

Will I always be low?

How can I make it through?

*

So many never make it

Sometimes we just

can’t take it

Is there a way to flow

That will help us all get through?

*

Limited resources

And some greedy ones

In the system that we support

Higher ups

Control how our world is run

**

The climate and life’s forces determine every day

The river rushes fast

Coursing through

the world and our brain

*

There is so much we can do

But the world has to help us

Our thoughts

influence all we do

Let’s influence

what they ought to tell us

Higher ups

should not be cowards

and continue to sell us out

With their material power

Give them empathy and equity

Some things

To carefully think about

***

Get Your Power

Plugging into vast resources

Here, the moment

Never grows old

Time expands all of it’s forces

Like a volcano

we are rock and rolled

**

Get your power

Get your power

Now

Now

Now or

Take the next chance you get

*

We have got the daytime

We have got the night

We have got the darkness

We have got the light

Get what you want

Get what you need

Now is not gone

Let’s take the lead

*

Get your power

Get your powet

Now

Now

Now and forever

Decide what’s wrong or right

**

Heading fast into the heat

Freezing up if life turns cold

Strength gives us goals to reach

Certain power comes from

what we are told

*

Charging fast at the station

Power around us is

Bought and sold

Rising up

from creation

Energy in our eyes

shines like gold

**

Get your power

Get your power

Now

Now

It’s now or never

Decide what fight to fight
