About a Tree

Do you ever think about a tree;
How every leaf and branch you see
Is different from every other?
Does it ever make you wonder,
“What does it take to be a perfect tree?”
Do you ever think about you and me;
In some ways as different as can be?
From our heads down to our toes,
Who’s better and who knows?
Is there a perfect way for us to be?
Each tree is perfect as it is,
My little goats, we are all just perfect kids!
We are just as we are!
Just be you, ‘cause you’re a star!
We are each given our own gifts

Time to Care
02:30
|

|
No more wall, no more fences
No more mistreating the defenseless
No more bombing, no more wars
Sending hate to other shores
Chorus:
No excuses, time to care
Put down our sticks and learn to share
The planet earth is very small
If we get along there’s room for all
No more judgment, no more fear
Of people who live far or near
For being different in appearance
How they think, with whom they dance
Chorus

It was another rainy day
A sky in tints & shades of grey
I was standing at the window
Watching the eastern wind blow
I was sipping coffee from a cup
Then I lifted my eyes up
I saw the separate drops of rain
That streaked my window pane
And each droplet had a path
As they meandered down the glass
They each journeyed alone
As they voyaged and they roamed
But soon I became aware
That the droplets here and there
They’d intersect and join together
As I stood and watched the weather
I saw drops in pairs or alone
Were heading to one home
One rippling puddle sea
Where each bead would finally be
And as I took another drink
Of my coffee I did think
How these drops I could see
Were something like you and me
We come from a cloudy source
And as we live our plotted course
Sometimes we’re all alone
Sometimes there’s company on the road
We are each unique and yet
I would place my bet
Deep down we’re all the same
Just like these tears of rain
And when our sojourn’s done
And our winding trail is run
We’ll join together in a sea
Of love and blissful glee

Bloody August Weekend
03:13
|
|||
|
Day becomes night
When the hate takes over
Might doesn’t make right
Keep watching over your shoulder
Chorus:
Guns don’t kill, people do
But with a gun he’ll kill more than a few
We need gun control, for our nation’s soul
Don’t put that tool in the hands of a fool
‘Cause when the bullets scream
The people scream louder
There’s no reason we need
That much fire power
Chorus
Let’s tone down the rhetoric
That makes the time bombs tick
Love is stronger than fear
Hold your loved ones near
Let’s tone down the rhetoric
That makes the time bombs tick
Love is stronger than fear
Hold your loved ones near

Lying back in a pick-up bed
Watching the falling stars overhead
Wondering why they don’t all fall
And how the universe holds us all
In place
Yeah, I know about Albert Einstein
And all that stuff concerning space-time
I guess I’m not really asking how
As much as why and the answer I’ve found
Is grace
Sing Hosanna from a fallen world
Sing Hosanna from a fallen world
Sing Hosanna from a fallen world
Sing Hosanna from a fallen world
The mountains at night heavy with shadow
Trees like dervishes when the wind blows
Are they just bending with the flowing wind?
Or are they dancing with a joy within
Called love?
Or maybe the wind is dancing too
If I dance, then how about you?
I don’t want to be the only loon
Dancing beneath with the shining moon
Above
Sing Hosanna from a fallen world
Sing Hosanna from a fallen world
Sing Hosanna from a fallen world
Sing Hosanna from a fallen world
