Get By
World keeps on turning
always changing
through good and bitter times
some try and rule ya , some try and fool ya
is it al what it seems
is there some reason
we're all caught up
never to see world peace
I wish I had
a magic wand
and stretch it round the world
so U try and get by
avoid becoming cursed
be off the good times
that brighten up your days
you try and get by
make way for this new age
be off the good times
still shining in your mind
Some say that god is dead
some overcame by faith
are some meant to have it all
some to hope for better days
money grows while we stand and watch those who rack it all
while our worth wither to none, try and make sense of it all
chorus
trying' to get by on the good times
trying to live your life
Bridge
trying' to get by on the good times
trying to live your life

The Numbing Game

the numbing game
ain't we tired of being part of the same old game
world wide struggle like we're still of the stone age
ain't we supposed to be civilized by now
enjoying prosperity , science and technology
just like the breeze of a sunny day
can't we brighten the world at play
work this world in a decent way
for heaven's sake
different day same news cycle , come along it's ok
seems like we're all playing the part we're supposed to play
don't you sometimes feel you could take control
step up to do something , instead of blame
do we stand aside and watch
starving children's empty gaze
live our lives in golden cages
pretend we really have no stake
we're told to be civilized
( to ) strive away from life of crime
but then we're welcomed to the game
this numbing game
some say don't you get involved it's complicated
trust that those who are in charge will make it work
should we just stand here watch them boldly rob us blind
of this great new world , this god given world
it is clear as day they don't feel anything
when million die it's not a thing
what they say , what they do , promises vanish in the air
instead they'll welcome you to
this numbing game

Everyday
Everyday struggling to make some kinda way
to some promised day
living life is such a costly proposition
oh what a position
it ain't no shame now
to want it like you feel it
and live your dreams
just play your soul to the beat when hard times come around
u gotta get down
before you loose your mind , in time
get up in this cold cold world
and do your thing
Everyday struggling to make some kinda change
to a better stand
gotta take this fight to the rulers of the world
gotta stand strong , keep moving on
it ain't no shame no
to want it like you feel it
and live your dreams ya
play your soul to the beat when hard times come around
CHORUS
every day now
u do what you gotta do to get what you need and pay these bills
and get to what you feelin
find some kinda way now
get you trough a world in crisis
someday you may find that all your troubles are behind but meanwhile
play your soul to the beat -

someday's a high some day's s a low
always messing withcha mind
running all around for what I'm trying to find
a place where my soul keeps my spirit high
all of us going trough this
transition in time
wondering if it 's all doomed just falling apart
no place too dark for this little light of mine
seems like the world's going down in these crazy times
don't let noba a dy tell you otherwise
this little light will be bright
if you just , let it shine
never too late to mend our ways
make it in time to the bright good side
yes I believe we stand a chance
to make it bettah and worthwhile
all of us going trough this
transition in time
wondering if it 's all doomed just falling apart
CHORUS

no matter how dark you'll make it right trough the storm

Cycles
watch you rise up to the the top
fall back down to the ground
wondering what the hell is wrong got you spinning round
looking for some kinda center reaching for the ground
universal tyranny ain't nothin but
cycles
whirl it up whirl it up nothin' but ( repeat )
everyday a different play
messing up your game
wicked how it switch on you
looking like a fool
building up some kinda strength
wish that's gonna help
one day wisdom comes along ain't nothin but
CHORUS
once the ruler of my nights
flavor soul like cherry wild
but those wheels they keep on turning
now just a blast from the past
CHORUS
Take me to the river deep X4
CHORUS
take me to the river deep , where I can clean my soul
make me wholesome and free , take me out there , up and away
take me to the river deep , so I can claim my soul
take me to the river deep
up and away , and away
Take me to the river deep
so I can claim my soul 2x
CHORUS
wanna be masters of the world
leading us to the fall
think you rule the sky and seven seas
wake up to your self , wise out of your creed
it ain't nothin but a dream , delusional fantasy
Universal zodiac supremacy , set us all free , up and away
set us all free

Beautiful Day ( Empathy song )
life's more than a game
when your life is on the line
ain't just about personal choice
when your birthright sets you up
at the back of the line
am I supposed to feel nothing , see nothing , do nothing
cause I got mine , sweet mine
ooooo what is wrong with me
why am I feeling such empathy , oh why why
it's a beautiful day
but so many people hurtin'
it's a beautiful day
should I stop caring
Homeless in the streets
should I escape to space , VIP space ship
escape the human race
live my life sheltered from the storm
am I supposed to feel nothing , see nothing , do nothing
cause I got mine , sweet mine
ooooo what is wrong with me
why am I feeling such empathy , oh why why

The real world is just a fantasy

dividing us with fanatic hate

caused by these hearts of steel
in the name of the real
We all know the world is change
but really don't wanna change at all
when we say that greed is good
with these gun' s destroying neighborhoods
wanting more and more each day
no one can claim what is given by
the mighty up above
the cloudy sky and the air we breath
the sun that gives us life
yet all about they go
claiming the world around
surely the whole wide world won't be enough
for those who wan'it all

Soul Affair
in this world so cruel and cold
always racing for the gold
is there a place of comfort
some kinda shelter from the storm
sometimes your life's to hard to bear
running away from the past ( of pain )
shutting down and feeling num
living life on the brink
we all need a soul affair
shelter us from the storm of the world
we all need a soul affair
shine a light on the darkest of times
how should you reach for the moon
trying to make it on your own
living in a world by yourself
without a shoulder or a care
getting tired of the same thing
putting it all on the line
just- living for the hustle and the grind
with no one special for the heart

Soul affair X4

Hey , what is going down
seems like all around the world is going crazy
people falling out their god damn minds

setting the world on fire
like there ain't no better tomorrow to live for
setting the world on fire
blamin' it all on the economy
who are we fooling
thinking we're the masters of it all
we can't even control ourselves
jumping' off da cliff with both eyes shut , aha
we got just the thing that we all need , soul deep now
but no one seems to pay no heed

Sanctify
Won't you please sanctify my soul
from the break of dawn or the early morn'
get my share of the new world
won't you please sanctify my soul
I made it out of the darkest night
to get my share of the new world
here I stand
in this promise land of hope
beacon of light to the world
with struggle and a purpose
to see all equally free and proud
such a place is a gift of life
under the sun of a new day
CHORUS
see our world
filled with such tragedy
people fleeing persecution
at the hands of their own leaders
should we all
fly out in a private saucer
maybe space is the place
where we can get along , get along

Sanctify my soul ( ad libs )

HIGH TIME
there are people with no shelter
billionaires who just don't care
and I'm trying to make sense
about the way I live my life
some people seem to be so nice
these other one s just animals
whose worse instinct is out to kill
destroy the world and there's no doubt
the world is going crazy
high time
if u can't see what's going on
within the world within yourself
it is high time
are we all part of what's wrong
no one can save us from ourselves
sometimes I wonder bout myself
about this thoughts inside my brain
the culture tells me it's ok
I guess than I'm just ok
seems like two sides are at odd
always trying to compromise
but at some point it's just no more
I just get tired of the same
and my world is going crazy
CHORUS
there are people with no shelter
billionaires who just don't care
and I'm trying to make sense
about the way I live my life
some people seem to be of light
these other one" s like animals

Are you the kind to survive
a nonsensical state of mind
is it all a game
is your life at stake
at the end of the day , will you sing and say
It's a beautiful world
such a beautiful world
are we never to break free
caught up between love and hate
is it all a game
is your life at stake
at the end of the day , will you sing and say
CHORUS
is this world , just a trap
for the goodness of the heart
is there light to be seen
waking up from within to reality

MUSIC FOR FREE
my life is music
it sets my heart free
heals the world of all the hate
makes it all better
some say get a real job , you will never be a star , are they right
money makes the world go round , some say that you have no right
are they right ?
Music for free , but freedom ain't free
music for free , but freedom ain't free
I wanna score for movies wide
corporations and the like
get to know the superstars
mingle with the who they are
music matters to the world , let me get on spotify
I'll be fine
constitution gives me rights , write it on the dotted line
am I right ?
CHORUS
but who do you think you are
you can't get it like a star
earn your stripes
love is free , can't you see
this is opportunity
I'll be fine
get my self on spotify , make money , pay my bills
I'll be fine
Do my thing , cash those rights , my soul shines like a Star
earn my stripes
