about

When writing this song I wanted it to be both musically and lyrically playful and upbeat. The early lyrics try to expand the boundaries of our perceptions by avoiding our senses being pigeonholed by their normal limits.

I want to breathe in your joy
I want to touch your dreams

In essence we always experience more than what we consciously process or sensorially recognize. Our unconscious is not only the realm of trauma but much joy and intimacy is experienced in ways beyond worded thought or the self-conscious ego. While we may never fully exhaust our sentient capabilities, our attempts at increased intimacy and awareness of our senses and feelings adds to life's meaning and our feeling fulfilled.

I want to taste your words
Till I can no longer eat
I want to sip on your emotions
The bitter and the sweet

The more we appreciate how precious and fragile is this thing called life, the more unfathomable it is that we would do anything to neglect or harm it. This is why peace, love and dignity are not idealistic or trite slogans, but
rather mandates of our way of being with the world and each other.

I want to share my life
Of that I am certain
I want to learn from life
I am its student

All of you fashion me
thru words and reactions
I hope my words unfold you
Validate spawn satisfaction
Through you all I know me
I am your project
What is now and what will be
Gives life its passion

The message of peace, love and dignity is simple but it is not trite. It may seem hard to achieve, but it is not idealistic. The desire to love and be loved, to be kind, and be compassionately interconnected is just as fundamental and real as is the fight for survival.

lyrics

Peace, Love and Dignity 5/3/2010

I want to feel your smile
I want to breathe in your joy
I want to touch your dreams
I want to listen to your feet

For time moves with or without heat
And I live within each heartbeat

I want to taste your words
Till I can no longer eat
I want to sip on your emotions
The bitter and the sweet

Our tongues feel more than we can speak
Our minds hold more than we can seek

I sang this song before I had a notion
I was a man before I knew me
Such is the beauty of living without knowing
Such is the wonder of human beings

Falling into the stream
Loving our history

I sang this song before I had a notion
I was a man before I knew me
Such is the beauty of living without knowing
Such is the wonder of you and me

Winters come and summers go
Each time has its beauty
Some things change and others grow
Whether liquid or sturdy
I want to share my life
Of that I am certain
I want to learn from life
I am its student

All of you fashion me
thru words and reactions
I hope my words unfold you
Validate spawn satisfaction
Through you all I know me
I am your project
What is now and what will be
Gives life its passion

John Lennon and Yoko
Had a lovely message
Peace, love and dignity
for every person
Peace love and dignity
What a lovely message
Peace love and dignity
for every person
