EVERYONE IS LOOKING ROUND WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO START NO ONE SEEMS TO WANT TO LEAD LOOK A FOOL STAND APART AND HERE AM I WITH ALL OF YOU WE FEEL THE SAME I'M SURE WE DO BUT ALL I HAVE TO OFFER NOW IS THIS CALL TO LOOK AROUND TAKE A GOOD LONG LOOK AT YOUR LOVER AND TAKE A GOOD LONG LOOK AT YOUR CHILD TAKE A GOOD LONG LOOK AT YOUR NEIGHBOUR AND SMILE AND SMILE THEN TAKE A GOOD LONG LOOK IN THE MIRROR AND TAKE A GOOD LONG LOOK AT YOUR SOUL CAN YOU SAY YOU CARE ALL AROUND YOU GROW OLD GROW OLD GROW OLD SO WHAT IS IT I HEAR YOU SAY YOU HAVE TO OFFER US TODAY? NOW YOU'RE STANDING THERE SO PROUD WHAT CAN YOU OFFER TO THE CROWD? FROM WHERE I STAND I SEE IT CLEAR NO LONGER PARALYZED WITH FEAR I'D RATHER FALL FROM WHERE I STAND THAN DROWN WHILE SITTING ON MY HANDS CHORUS I ASK YOU TO WONDER IS THIS WORTH STANDING FOR? I ASK YOU TO WONDER WHAT ARE YOU LIVING FOR? I ASK YOU TO WONDER IS THIS WORTH FIGHTING FOR? I ASK YOU TO WONDER WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?

Hold Me 04:50
lyrics
buy track
I know we've come so far for so long And I hope there's a long long way to go We've done so much Shaped the world around with our human touch Still I wonder I wonder What the hell are we striving for The more you think about it The more it slips away The more we talk about it The less we seem to say So hold me hold me Till the panic is over and my mind is clear Hold me hold me Till the nightmare is over and my mind is free Relief belief

Be Still My World 05:58
lyrics
buy track
Every tongue can form your name But that will never tie you down No description sounds the same So no one can say you lie In this land of steady progress Nothing seems to bring you near The more we learn the less we feel we know There's no one here can tell me why Still my world keeps on keeps on turning Still my heart keeps on keeps on yearning Many years have passed and here I am again I'm no nearer than I was back then This quest for answers it never ends There's no one here to tell you why.... There is no one on high Still my world keeps on keeps on turning Still my heart keeps on keeps on yearning Can there be love without the hate? Can there there be choice as well as fate? Can there be hope without the air of despair? Still my world keeps on keeps on turning Still my heart keeps on keeps on yearning Be still my world Be still my heart

In Spite of Me 08:05
lyrics
buy track
The rain it falls in spite of me The fires they burn in spite of me My moods they churn In spite of me inside of me and time it pulls, it pulls down on me it's gravity There's no pattern I can find To bring me piece of mind There's no logic I can see To save us from this destiny So I say rage, rage against the tide Learn to love the futile Rage, rage against the tide With entropy eternity decides The mist it rolls on over me Till the future is lost for us to see We wait we wait some hopefully I try to wait honestly There's no pattern I can find To bring me piece of mind There's no logic I can see To save us from this destiny So I say rage, rage against the tide Learn to love the futile Rage, rage against the tide With entropy eternity decides Your smile it grows because of me Your tears they flow because of me There's only now that we can be but we can feel eternity we can feel eternity There's no pattern I can find To bring me piece of mind There's no logic I can see To save us from this destiny So I say rage, rage against the tide Learn to love the futile Rage, rage against the tide With entropy eternity decides With entropy eternity decides

about

A postcard every month during 2021 from wherever I have been in
the moonmanvan. Pulling together old songs and new
with what I’m seeing, hearing and thinking.
An accidental collage pulled into some sort of shape in
an attempt to make sense of it all and keep engaged.
