Spoken Lyrics are more than lyrics, they’re on their way to being a song. A talented voice speaking lyrics with music and sounds in the background. This format will enhance the emotion and meaning of the words. 

My Spoken Lyrics are in two categories. The Christian lyrics have a viewpoint of Bible truth. Believers have a faithful awareness of how temporary time and life are on earth, with a hopeful, trusting look of assurance toward heaven. 

A Concerning lyric has the outlook which gives commentary on social issues. New and old topics and conditions which are bringing fast change and shadowy uncertainty, as good becomes bad and bad becomes good.  

By the grace of God, I hope to add more to both of these genres.

If

Verse 1

How does a man stop, being a boy                                                    How can I live a life to enjoy                                                               If there is a miff will I stand still                                                          Should I hit or pray for good will   

Verse 2

Lost in choices of bad and good                                                         Climbing a ladder I should and could                                               If there is a cliff, will life hang on                                                        Will Mighty God send me beyond

Chorus    

If is in the middle of a serious riddle called l-if-e                             If is before me If is what will be                                                         Only God knows for sure what will be                                               If is in the middle of a serious riddle called l-if-e

Bridge

Take the If out of life you still have to guess   

Maybe the If in life will bring happiness                                            Put the If in your life and pray for more or less    

Time will tell time will show If the Lord will bless   

                                                                       

Verse 3

Life could be a breeze calm and then fast                                       Sun on a lake then it’s overcast                                                          If my faithful skiff tips and I die                                                         Who but Lord Jesus can justify         

Bridge

Take the If out of life you still have to guess   

Maybe the If in life will bring happiness                                            Put the If in your life and pray for more or less    

Time will tell time will show If the Lord will bless   

Chorus    

If is in the middle of a serious riddle called l-if-e                             If is before me If is what will be                                                         Only God knows for sure what will be                                               If is in the middle of a serious riddle called l-if-e

Concerning

Fallen Messenger

Music Intro

Verse One

In the library, hope came into view
Standing with heroes’, time let me walk through
(The) Face of honest Abe, on a book cover
(Then) John Kennedy and, Bobby his brother

Verse Two

Sat with Gandhi and, Martin Luther King
I read about peace, I heard freedom ring
Their eyes were intent on, change they could share
They were wise in ways, so quiet in prayer

Bridge

A few words go far so they say
Actions speak louder and slip away
Rest in peace shaking heads can pray
It’s always about the words they say

Chorus

When unfolding evil shoots tragedy
The world see’s, a Fallen Messenger
The message remains what will be will be
The world see’s, a Fallen Messenger

Verse Three

Aiming for peace was, Yitzak Rabin’s goal
John Lennon sang it, then hate lost control
Shot in cold blood, hearts of love gone by
Courage makes a mark, when millions will cry

Bridge

A few words go far so they say
Actions speak louder and slip away
Rest in peace shaking heads can pray
It’s always about the words they say

Chorus

When unfolding evil shoots tragedy
The world see’s, a Fallen Messenger
The message remains what will be will be
The world see’s, a Fallen Messenger

Rise Up Young Mind

Verse One    

Polluted skies, the future is unclear
Vote for clean air, changing hearts are so near 
The planet cries, see and listen for pain
Everyone care, a great change will remain

Chorus

Love human kind, open the door
Let’s come together, Rise Up Young Mind
Leave hates behind, make room for more
Let’s come together, Rise Up Young Mind

Verse Two

New ro-ta-tion, the power of gen Z
Watch and wonder, how we can all agree
Best in- ten-tion, not ignoring the truth
Rolling thunder, the new voices of youth

Bridge

Black brown yellow red white, set in motion
Ring of hands holding growing devotion
Keeping land green and blue seas and oceans
Together we curl all around the world 

Chorus

Love human kind, open the door
Let’s come together, Rise

Verse Three 

Learn from the past, we’re saving tomorrow
Plant hope and trees, and let the rivers flow
Change comes at last, keep reaching everyday
More people please, there’s no time to delay

Bridge

Black brown yellow red white, set in motion
Ring of hands holding the growing devotion
Keeping land green and blue seas and oceans
Together we curl all around the world 

Chorus

Love human kind, open the door
Let’s come together, Rise Up Young Mind
Leave hates behind, make room for more
Let’s come together, Rise Up Young Mind
