Lyrics

Get on the bus get on the bus, Get on the bus wlth us
c'mon c'mon get on the bus
There's Gus, who drives the bus and he does Everything for us
He's got the peddle down--

and all the band and larry mary sid and johnny too and that's to jjust to name a few
and all of you who have the eyes and ears to hear and see-
all of us are on that bus Telepathically
so you had better be ln the vicinity of the bus
whose designated destination ls infinity and all points ln between

Believe you me, there ls no comfort or relief ln Clarity
Truer words were never spoken and even though we're all broken
here's a little token of the love l'm feeling for the instant beauty of the moment

Everyone ls psychedelic from those purple Mlcrodots
Fuel ls burning under stars so bright
on the bus, 10 feet off the ground
blacktop slippin under us at half the speed of light

Now lt comes flowln down, lt washes over me
something l can hear, but l can't exactly see-
Cans are Blarin, l'm just starin
hearin things we can't believe
music soothin, lt's not Taxing so relaxing
making music with some friends of mine
making noises so Delightful-
on the bus, where betrayal ls the only thing
that's not allowed

Come along, you're all lnvlted to rlde the bus wlth us
get on the bus get on the bus
c'mon get on the bus
don't make a Fuss
Just get on the bus

Upon The Rock

Won’t stop, keep building up,
Until we reach the top 

And when the rain comes 
Falling down,
What was built on sand
Crashes to the ground

Everything we cling to
Will wash away
The only thing 
left standing 
is built upon 
the rock

The only thing that we can trust,
Is what's built upon the rock

And when the wind beats
upon the house,
What was built on sand,
Scatters across the land

Everything we cling to
Will blow away
The only thing left
standing is
built upon 
the rock

All else we seek is 
idle vanity
Everything else
will disappear
Eventually

Elysian Fields

I remember your face
in the curling mist
Our feet washed
in warm pools of the bay

The rush of life sprung
from the seeds we laid
which grew silently
as the hours slipped away

Requited on a bed of blooming flowers
Our Orphic song so sweet, so loud
Love's harmonies rising 
Our burning hearth towards heaven
Bringing the peace found in love's eternity

Ah, this light! The joy you bring!
Blessed in love's Elysian Fields

Love's Elysian Fields

Ah, this light! The joy you bring!
Here on earth and love's Elysian Fields

Love's Elysian Fields

大きな鳥 Ⅲ (a large bird Ⅲ)

“この樹は今鳥かくせりとおもひつつ眞下より見る枝葉のうらを”
木下利玄（1886-1925）

The tree must be hiding a large bird behind its thriving branches and leaves. I thought so and looked up the tree, trying to find the bird.
Rigen Kinoshita(1886-1925)

Be excellent to each other!

"For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places."
--Ephesians 6:12

"Now may our Lord Jesus Christ Himself and God our Father, who has loved us and given us eternal comfort and good hope by grace, comfort and strengthen your hearts in every good work and word."
--Thessalonians 2:16

Enter through the narrow gate. 
For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.
--Matthew 7:13-14

For am I now seeking the favor of people, or of God? Or am I striving to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a bond-servant of Christ.
-- Galatians 1:10

"No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon."
--Matthew 6:24
