Conspiracy Theories
The first time I heard about it, it was across the sea
Where people eat bats they caught this bad disease
Then I heard it came from a science lab
Some genius playing with germs but it all went bad
Maybe it was Wuhan could have been the government
And I also have my own conspiracy theory
Heard some people talking they were comparing schemes
One said it’s a weapon another said it’s from 5g
Maybe a billionaire with a master plan
Maybe another scam from a businessman
Saw it on the internet or heard it on the street
And I bet you have your own conspiracy theory
From the 60’s it’s been around but this specific strand has never been found
Called Disease X in 2018 and now I’m sitting here in quarantine
My nose is runny but they say it’s not a sign
Cause’ I can hold my breath for ten seconds at a time
I’m eating lots of garlic and drinking tea
Magic mineral solution with added bleach
Now you’ve got me paranoid I can barely breath
Don’t want to hear conspiracy theories
Some say it was the Russians some say it’s a black hole
Some are saying it’s as harmless as the common cold
The Americans have got their priorities
The National Guard is bagging groceries
A ploy to keep my hands clean or money from a vaccine I had enough of these theories
From the 60’s it’s been around but this specific strand has never been found
Called Disease X in 2018 and now I’m sitting here in quarantine
So let me end this ditty by putting your mind at ease
I have found a cure for this horrible disease
Before you let your mind go off again
This is what I would recommend
Try to stop yourself from posting if you please and we’ll put an end to these conspiracy theories

Divine Inspiration
What about the here and now the days and nights passing
Like the sunset on an ocean sky when the colors mesmerize
My eyes they want to see the sight again because it takes me
To the place I want to be so magical and moving
Divine inspiration it doesn’t take hold if a man isn’t bold
Divine inspiration you have to be brave to create
In our day and age we’re so far away from purity
And good ignoring what we should and only wanting more of what we
Had before and everything we have are all the things we’ve had to justify
With lies we tell ourselves our kids and wives
Divine inspiration it doesn’t take hold if a man isn’t bold
Divine inspiration you have to be brave to create
It’s a gift from above to be free like a dove
When you give up control to be led by your soul
When confusion is gone one can move on
But you have to let go to connect to the flow
The words out there are so obscene don’t say a thing they only scream
About a trend that in the end takes me far from who I am without a choice
A racy voice steals my heart and removes my eyes from Heaven
And enrolls me as a soldier of sprite
Divine inspiration it doesn’t take hold if a man isn’t bold
Divine inspiration you have to be brave, you have to be brave
You have to be brave to create

Giving Feels Good

Giving Feels Good
When I give my love to you, I give myself to you
I become so much more than I was before
Hey isn’t it true that giving feels good
And when you take more than you should it doesn’t feel right
So I’ve been pondering too a way that I can give more
So I can be assured a satisfying life
When I sit to write a song, I give myself away
And a part of me is living on in the songs I play
Hey isn’t it true that giving feels good
And when you take more than you should it doesn’t feel right
Well I’ve been pondering too a way that I can give more
So I can be assured a satisfying life
We love the ones we give to there’s a part of us in them
A stranger is a stranger until he becomes a friend
Hey isn’t it true that giving feels good
And when you take more than you should it doesn’t feel right
So I’ve been pondering too a way that I can give more
So I can be assured a satisfying life

So Long
Moving around while daddy sold his cloth went to the south where things really took off
He didn’t have a contract when they let him go heard times were tough I was too young to know
So we went up North to find another line we didn’t have A/C it was Summer time
But we wrote a tune it was a country song saying I’m not just moving out I’m moving on
So long dad so long you taught me right from wrong
Gave me a home where I could grow up strong
Always working hard so we could get along
Now you’re gone so long dad so long
The years flew by like a bird in the sky a moment we’re here and then we disappear
And nobody knows what’s going to be I’ll call you tomorrow we’ll have to wait and see
So long dad so long you taught me right from wrong
Gave me a home where I could grow up strong
Always working hard so we could get along
Now you’re gone so long dad so long
I sit and think about how much has been forgotten, of childhood memories
And then the later years when we went back to Queens, both of us chasing our dreams
Never really knew him for all the time we spent promised we’d travel we never went
Watching old movies singing old songs he never said goodbye always said so long
So long dad so long you taught me right from wrong
Gave me a home where I could grow up strong
Always working hard so we could get along
Now you’re gone so long dad so long
I won’t say goodbye, I’ll only say so long

Take Time Out
Hate crimes on the rise no one’s safe, the world’s not big enough for us
Your skin, my race taking up space, today our hearts are numb
Take time out time to think it through
I’m talking to me I’m talking to you, take time out
So much anger everywhere the home’s a combat zone
Parents fighting with their kids, brothers and sisters can’t get along
Take time out time to think it through
I’m talking to me I’m talking to you, take time out
Before it’s too late take some time, get your head on straight take the time…
So clear to me without a doubt a sign is coming from above
The Lord has put us all in quarantine it’s like He’s telling us to…
Take time out time to think it through
He’s talking to me He’s talking to you, take time out

The Lord is Kind

The Lord is Kind
Driving home stopped along the way got Pulled over out in Sheepshead Bay
Cops got a call from someone in town I Fit the description they had written down
Get out of the car put your hands on the Hood don’t pull any tricks for your own Good
I stood there in disbelief while he Opened my bags and was going through My things
The Lord is just the lord is kind there’s no punishment without a crime
Don’t know what I did to I deserve this bust but the Lord is kind and the Lord is just
I felt a chill going down my spine when he found the stolen goods with his canine
Caught red handed I was out of luck I was sure that they were gonna lock me up
Brought back to town to stand before the judge to plead my case the best I could
I didn’t do it but I couldn’t prove a thing in my possession they found everything
The Lord is just the lord is kind there’s no punishment without a crime
Don’t know what I did to deserve this bust but the Lord is kind and the Lord is just
I said judge please hear what I say I know I must look guilty in the light of day, but
You’ve got to believe me I’ve been framed I know it looks bad but I’m not to blame
Must have overwhelmed him with my speech he told the guards to set me free
I got light headed and I fell to the ground and woke up in my bed safe and sound
The Lord is just the lord is kind everything He does is right on the line
Until the day I go back to the dust the Lord is kind and in the Lord I trust
Until the day I go back to the dust the Lord is kind and in the Lord I trust
