My favourite line in the whole song right there, the delivery is impeccable!

The first time I heard this part I had to stand up while I was listening to it!

Great job on such a tasty musical serving.. piping hot.

Love ain’t hard to find

Copyright Andrew Dolphin

Love is song 
Love is dance
Love is all we need
To give this world a chance 
Take a look around
It’s part of cupids deal 
Peel back those layers to reveal
Love ain’t hard to find 

Love will laugh 
Love will cry
Love will always be 
The apple of our eye
A photo in a frame 
A celebration meal
Peel back those layers to reveal
Love Ain’t Hard To Find 

Love fights back when the battle comes
Sends out aid til the fightings done
Love gives hope to hopelessness 
If all we see is one big mess
If we don’t talk about love
As if it’s out of date
All we hear is bitterness and hate

Love is truth
Love can’t lie
Love is judge and jury
And It can testify
It can lift us up
When we’re down at heel
Peel back those layers to reveal
Love ain’t hard to find

Lyrics

Sitting here patiently
Waiting on empty
My mind in overdrive
How will I survive
It goes round endlessly
Inside I'm hopelessly
Losing control I'm
Losing my mind

They sit there waiting for me                      
Never want me to be free
They are. after my eternity             
Consuming my reality

So Here we are now
Waiting for demons
Waiting for them to awake.     
And For me to lose control 
Lose control of my mind

So this is insanity
Way beneath vanity
Underneath my skin
Is where it begins 
No way up or down
So is this over now
We just go round an round
Over and over again

This is where the end
Meets the beginning
Where I lose it all
The Demons winning 

Here we are now
Waiting on the demons
Waiting for them to wake
For me to lose control
Lose control of my mind

Here we are now
Waiting on the demons
Waiting for them to awake
For me to lose control
Lose control of my mind

Demons

Together

The Surrender Flag. Written, arranged and performed by John David Lawson.

Lover, I have been stumbling
Covered in war field sufferings
Angry artillery is rumbling
Loudly within my heart a-thundering
Offers of help are muffled mumblings
When, to the sea, my thoughts roll tumbling
Over bodies fallen from the ragged crag 
Piling under a surrender flag

I feel the tides of distant memory
Taking turns loosening the sands of time
Returning back to you the good in me
Until we hear the bells of freedom chime
Courage is not what has us pressing on
Ah but the promise of a better path
As grains of healing trickle one by one
Down through the gauntlet of the hourglass

A rod of iron's woven through my spine
A steel trap is how I've set my mind
By this machinery I stay alive
But I can't tell you that I'm doing fine
In dreams I see you in the waterfall
Fountains of sunlight bouncing off your hair
Down through time immemorial beyond recall
Oh baby maybe one day we will get back there

The Surrender Flag

Our dog is getting on in age and has some health issues. She sleeps and sleeps and sleeps and sometimes has little micro-seizures. She won't be around forever, and when her time comes, I hope she will pass at home, in her sleep. "Our Dog." Written and performed by John David Lawson.

Our dog sleeps and sleeps and sleeps 
all day long under the sun
I pray the Lord her soul to keep 
until her doggie days are done.

Our dog lies around all day, 
wags her tail and chases squirrels away, 
opens her eyes once in while 
but she's only half awake.

Ahh and I'm trying really hard, that's for sure
to keep my eyes from crying over her
but I've finally come to knowin'
can't stop the ones you love from goin'

Outside, puppies on the street
tumble playfully with one another
waiting to come in for a treat
and one last time, to see their mother

Ahh we will miss her when she's gone, that's for sure
I guess not so very long is left for her
Our dog sleeps and sleeps and sleeps
Lord, I hope she sleeps in peace
Our dog

I Know That One Is You
© Andrew Dolphin 

V1
I long to awake to the morning sun
Nip that problem before it’s begun
I need someone to help me pull me through 
I know that one is you 

V2
I try to find a chink of light
And hope to someday win a fight 
I need someone to help me pull me through 
I know that one is you 

Bridge
Relying on circumstances 
To hand me an ace high flush 
Instead of the joker in the pack
And when there’s a storm that’s coming
I can be sure you’re with me
I know you’ll always have my back 

V3
Caught in the trap of this mindless foil
Keeping us chained to this endless toil 
I need someone to help me pull me through 
I know that one is you 

V4
When I come home to smiles those fears
Suddenly seem to disappear 
I have someone I know will pull me through
I know that one is you

I Know That One Is You

THE UNIVERSAL CHICKEN

Chicken, in season, is just another reason 
For seasons to come around each year.
It’s served in every navy, in globs of gray-green gravy,
From cans on which the dating is unclear.

Chicken, flamed in brandy, makes a young Rhinelander randy
Whatever Fraulein might be wandering by;
And warm chicken pies light up the light blue eyes
Of Swedes who dwell beneath the Arctic sky.

Chili chicken jerky, tasting stark, yet somehow murky,
Is peddled on the streets of New Orleans;
And red red chili chicken makes a gourmet’s gay heart quicken
In high Peru, with pork and Lima beans.

Braised chicken patties are favoured by the fatties
in bistros from Beijing to Adelaide;
And soft chicken dumplings trigger watery-mouthed mumblings
In Paris at the Bastille Day parade.

Well every man loves his chicken 
So treat that chicken like it likes the best
Put those tender morsels in your mouth. Check it out!
The thigh, the leg, the breast
BREAK
Well every man loves his chicken 
So treat that chicken like it likes the best
Put those tender morsels in your mouth. Check it out!
The thigh, the leg, the breast

So! all you chicken knockers: you must be off your rockers;
It’s plain to anyone with half a brain
Chicken is the flavour all good and true men favour,
Without chicken, life’s like walking in the rain!

If you don’t get into chicken
Man you won’t know what you’re missing
those braised pork trotters just don’t taste the same
chicken is the flavour all good and true men favour,
Without chicken, life’s like walking in the rain!
chicken is the flavour good and true men favour,
Without chicken, life’s like walking in the rain
Without chicken, life’s like walking in the rain
