Positive Attitude

When it's cold, light a flame
Keep smiling when it rains
Because you are the one that somebody loves
We can all make a change,
Like the nighttime turns to day
And when we fall, we get back up
The things you don't wanna do
I know it's not fun for you
But still we can push on through with a positive attitude
Yes we all need a friend, who will see us through to the end
And when we walk, we're never alone
Share some joy, bring a smile
Maybe stop and think for a while
Until we find our way back home
The things you don't wanna do
I know it's not fun for you
But still we can push on through with a positive attitude
Each and every day is new
The smile on your face it's true
And we can turn the gray skies blue with a positive attitude
You lie awake and count those stars
The fire blazes higher
On and on it always goes
But you're still alive and kicking
And every day's worth living
And time it doesn't go so slow.......

C
Cuz it's right
A
All the time
R
and remember, that everybody matters
And somehow I, forgot to be the one that I've become
And from now on, we've got to give a little bit more love........

La La La
It's a happy heart, It's a happy heart
La La La
Make a brand new start, make a brand new start
Find only that life will begin to grow
I can feel it in my bones
And shine only, on everything that's gold
That you know........

The Common Ground
02:47
|

Fever breaks and thunder shakes
As the sun shines on us all
Winter fades to warmer days
With the moonlight on the wall
The common ground
Everybody hurts and everybody bleeds
We're chasing time. We're all plantin' seeds
We all need to eat. We all need to breathe
We all fall in love, and fall into greed
In commonality we're finally a melody to push back the anger
and sing for the remedy
In obscenity it's context, and the prospects
Building progress, will we rock this in the projects?
Well I thought you would remember that I'm knee deep.
And I called you in December just to feed me
And the evidence is better with a debrief, retweet, bang!!!!
Grief and peace - pristine and grease
Abundant least - with a sweet release
It's the cleanest crease, the energetic deceased
In the fight for streets as the numbers decrease
3 up, 3 down. We laugh we frown,
We fail, we win, and then the process begins.
As he grins in distress, we praise the success.
But what we didn't learn is that failure makes us.
It feels like it breaks us. But in reality it leads us to greatness.
And certainly I can't believe that the frailness, is a gift
that brings you to places, preparing you to bloom!

Bricks That Build

Please forgive me
For thinking that I knew
How to be a friend to everyone while forgetting you
The miles between us
How they grew and grew
But it only takes a second then to get back to you
Like the domino that's falling
You can bring it to the ground
But with your friend who needs consoling
Build him up and build it now
They're gazing in silence down the hall
They wait and watch as the young one's pushed
strongly against the wall, oh.......
And like the domino that's falling
You can bring it to the ground
But with your friends who needs consoling
Build them up and make it now
And when you listen to the calling
You can hear it singing loud
Build it up, and build it strongly
And you'll see the changing crowd
All day the light is full of colors
Don't wait for the night to come
And our name is worth a trillion dollars
Your face is the only one

Well B is for bravery
Though I'm not feeling so
And with heart that says maybe oh oh
You know the science is crazy
History tells me so
look at the finances lately oh no
And don't you want to go with us
maybe to Mexico or Africa
And let the imagination run
Hold on, is it what you want is it what you miss?
So long, thinking that you got what you never get
And would you try not to worry
I can't say I blame you though.
You know a panda is furry. Woah!
And then I'll try not to hurry
Easier said I know
And B is also for blurry so.....
And don't you want to go with us
Maybe to Istanbul or South Texas
Give me the shiny lights and oranges
Or courage to live the life we hold
Hold on, is it what you want is it what you miss? (That's Bravery!!!)
So long, thinking that you've got what you never get
All that you can see is the mall of surprises
Somebody wakes up, somebody makes us
Crawl into a field of the wall that divides us
Call it a maze of want
Falling from the tree is a frozen horizon
Falling as grace does Walking in place of
Solitude and empty remorse it defies us all
Hold on, is it what you want is it what you miss?
So long, thinking that you've got what you never get
(That's Bravery!!!)
Hold on, Is it what you want is, is it what you wish? (That's Bravery!!!)
So long, is it really gone?
Cross if off your list!

Forever February
And we're forever buried in tundra
We feel so cold and so unloved
December, January
Not even half as scary as this one
When will it ever be enough
Here we go around again
Around again round
Will spring be coming around the bend?
We're waiting and waiting
Forever February
We're not in Gary Indiana
Not even New York City
We're way out there - We're way out there......
Here we go around again
Around again round
Will spring be coming around the bend?
We're waiting and waiting
Forever February
And we have sanctuary in our home
With everyone we know and love

Don't compare yourself to other people........
They say it might just go up in smoke
Or in the meantime turn into another joke
But maybe soon you'll find just what you're worth....
Like diamonds in the coal
Don't compare yourself to other people.....
The ways we find to sing along
The days go by and they're gone
It's the simple lies that hide your bright bright soul
and don't.....
Don't compare yourself to other people.....
And deep inside you're the diamond in the coal
And we're alive on this spinning ball
And there's a light, there's a fire inside you all
And bright skies we're under
Kind eyes of wonder
Release your heartache with a sound, oh.......
Imagination, in every nation
And face the beauty all around
oh.......

Brave And Strong

The courage to walk the extra mile
In the shine or rain
The courage to brave the storm and smile
Though it grows
And maybe you want to cry a while
And that's still ok, but maybe you know
Be brave, be strong
You're not alone
Don't wait for courage to pass you by
You're brave and strong
And life's great, as long as you always try
(Try try again!)
Be brave, be strong
You're not alone
So let your light shine
And show others the way, to learn from our mistakes
Here on the front lines
We'll give and not take, heal and not break
And so let your light shine, let your light shine on
And let it shine on........
Let it shine,
Let it shine.........

Invisible Girl
03:02

Is anybody listening?
Can anybody see?
Is there somehow out there knowing what is happening to me?
Don't think twice about their neighbor
Change their story to be mean
All I want is a friend who will have some faith in me.
I am living in a broken world
And I am an invisible girl......
Shine your light for me
Make a pathway to get home
Shout it from the rooftops, so that everyone will know
I am living in a broken world
And I am an invisible girl......
I know that someone's listening
I know that someone cares
My life is full of meaning....
I know I'll make a difference, in that big world out there.
And that is wonderful
Wonderful
So won't you come with me.......
I am living in a broken world
No longer an invisible girl

Try try again
Try try again
Try try again, and be nice to other people
When you first fall down, but you get back up
And you try try again
Runnin' that race and it's beautiful outside
This math is tough and you're feeling stuck
but you try try again
Everything seems so impossible but I'll.....
Try try again
Try try again
Try try again, and be nice to other people
Like rays of sun
They shine a light but also do their damage in burning us oh....
I'll face the fun, the trials, the ordinary
The fire of everything
Try try again............

So glad to hear the Sprinkle Brothers making music together again! I still remember getting into my '78 Monte Carlo in 1993 and putting newly-bought "mindsize" into my CD player for the first time in Cape May Court House, NJ after leaving the bookstore with it. Fantastic EP and I look forward to more!
