Coming Down Off Summer 
(R. Ungar)

We’ve been waltzin’ down the highways
Now i’m waltzing here with you 
Same two eyes are lookin' my way
Same old things we used to do

Now what would we do
If time stood still
In a warm embrace
Well, it never will

Honey on the back of my tongue lately
Tears in my eyes like a waterfall
It’s carved upon my heart ornately
The last sweet sounds of the curtain call

Now what would we do
If time stood still
For a standing O
Well, it never will

Comin’ down off summer
Comin’ down off fall
All I got’s a handful of festival laminates hangin’ on my wall

Comin’ down off summer
Walkin’ ‘round my town
Sayin’ “hi” to the neighbors 
Tellin’ em we’ll be around
At least for awhile 

In case they didn’t notice the epic woodpile 
Smoke signal sailin’ south
Am I the rebel or the good child?
All grown up and playin’ house 

Now what would we do
If time stood still
In the mornin’ light 
Well, it never will

Comin’ down off summer
Comin’ down off fall
All I got’s a handful of festival laminates hangin’ on my wall

Comin’ down off summer
Walkin’ ‘round my town
Sayin’ “hi” to the neighbors 
Tellin’ em we’ll be around
At least for awhile 

Radio Signal 
(M. Merenda)

There’s a wind and it blows on by
And there’s surely answers in it
To those who hoist up their kites
Well, they’re bound to get caught up in it

And I roll and I roll
Down the back roads of my soul
Lookin' for light like a radio signal
Lookin' for light like a radio signal

To the bird up there in the air
All my cares are up there with you
And your soul is everywhere
To explain this I cannot begin to

And I roll and I roll
Down the back roads of my soul
Lookin' for light like a radio signal
Lookin' for light like a radio signal

There’s a town down by the end of the road
and some people trapped there in it
I guess they were never told
To start a journey you must first begin it

And I roll and I roll
Down the back roads of my soul
Lookin' for light like a radio signal
Lookin' for light like a radio signal

There’s a mountain, stands by the sea 
And it’s bound to fall down in it
Just like you once said to me
Here’s your tea spoon, let’s start diggin’

And I roll and I roll
Down the back roads of my soul
Lookin' for light like a radio signal
Lookin' for light like a radio signal

What It All Is 
(M. Merenda)

I go down to washington town, I watch them monuments grow
Not in size but in legend guess we can still pretend none of us really know what we know 
Still I got a friend buried in Arlington I guess you get one of ‘em too? 
Who died fightin’ in a war we’re still not sure what for maybe oil I guess that might be true

How long, babe, do we go on living like this?
How long, babe, til we realize what it all is?
What is all is

They say follow money you catch the thief honey and it led me straight to you 
And some still believe yr commander in chief but I know who you answer to
I don’t own no munitions plant i don’t own no factory farm
But I been told them seeds you sow some come back and do you harm

How long, babe, do we go on living like this?
How long, babe, til we realize what it all is?
What is all is

Out in the forest there’s a beautiful chorus teemin’ from every tree
And it’s all been here far longer than you it’ll all be here long after me
Time is a weapon, time is yr best friend, time is what you make of it
Time made nature made every last creature i can’t stand by idly while we’re breakin’ it

How long, babe, do we go on living like this?
How long, babe, til we realize what it all is?
What is all is

If You Could Hear Me Now 
(M. Merenda)

If you could hear me now, if you could hear me somehow
If you could hear the words that i’m thinkin’
‘Bout a world on fire
Good thoughts lost in the mire
And it seems like no one’s listenin’

If you could see me now, if you could see me somehow
If you could see the world where we’re livin’
Where the money’s in charge
And the black coal barge
And there’s no more fish to be fishin’

If you could hear me now, if you could hear me somehow
If  you could hear what my soul is screamin'
That we are one
In the land of the sun
And there’s no more fear of dreamin’

If  you could know me now, if you could know me somehow
If  you could know the pain that i’m feelin’
If  you know my heart ’s bein’ torn apart
By the way good folks is treated 

If you could see me now, if you could see me somehow
If you could see the things that I’m seein’
That the people win
And prosper in the end
And leave somethin’ to believe in

If  you could hear me now if you could hear me somehow
If  you could hear the thoughts that i’m spinnin’
That time is short 
By any report
And there’s more to do than singin’

If you know me now if you know me somehow
If you know the things that I’m readin’
That peace is stalled 
Without prosperity for all
Let the flowers and the the weeds in

If  you hear me now if you hear me somehow
If  you hear the words that I’m hopin’
That we win the race
Against time and space
And the whole world is wide open

Beyond Civilization 
(M. Merenda)

I had a dream that I was flying
Above a penitentiary
Me and my friends risin’
Up above it and we were free

I woke up, I was mistaken
I was chokin’ on my frustration
Was tryin’ to get back to that destination 
Beyond civilization

I woke up, I ate my breakfast 
Couldn’t think of what to do next
I sat there in contemplation
Trying to wrap my brain around all this desecration  

And just when my hope was gone
I looked out on the lawn 
Saw the birds takin’ off in formation
They were beyond civilization 

Then I dreamed that I was gone
But I wasn’t really gone
I was just down there in the soil
With all my grandkids tramplin’ on

There was laughin’ and singin’
There was joy and elation
And I believe that they made it
Beyond civilization 

I had a dream that I was flying
Above a penitentiary
Me and my friends risin’
Up above it and we were free

California 
(R. Ungar)

Let’s have a party california style
With fresh cut flowers and fruit right from the vine
gonna write some letters to some friend of mine
Tell em all to come down here for a while

Come on down (come on down) to california
feel the warm air on your skin
Come on down, come on down to california 
Everybody come on in

Now there’s a softness in the woods at night
A mystery slidin’ through the trees
And then the promise of a golden day
As the sunshine warms the ocean breeze 

Come on down (come on down) to california
feel the warm air on your skin
Come on down, come on down to california 
Everybody come on in

See where the mountains meet the sky
I never wanna say goodbye

Come on down (come on down) to california
feel the warm air on your skin
Come on down, come on down to california 
Everybody come on in

Someone’s Hurting 
(R. Ungar)

Darkness cuts a deep path on the day that the rains came
It’s gonna take your best intentions and wash em all away 
Unspoken desire is just fuel for the fire
If I could read your mind what would it say? 

You and me are just creatures, creatures of the moment 
Little wildflowers on the hillside stretching for the sun
And in the middle of disaster hearts beat faster
And fortune rains upon us our walk becomes a run

When it feels so good like you’re walkin’ on air 
You know that someone’s hurtin’ somewhere
And it’s understood with a toss of your hair 
You know that someone’s hurtin’ somewhere 

Now we talk about the privilege of the people who look like me
How our worries are the size of a nickel in the big wishing well
If someone wants to shoot me well i bet they wouldn’t run free
And we wouldn’t be talkin’ about how I brought it on myself 

When it feels so good like you’re walkin’ on air 
You know that someone’s hurtin’ somewhere
And it’s understood with a toss of your hair 
You know that someone’s hurtin’ somewhere

Oh and i, i wanna be the one you call 
When it’s not alright 

When it feels so good like you’re walkin’ on air 
You know that someone’s hurtin’ somewhere
And it’s understood with a toss of your hair 
You know that someone’s hurtin’ somewhere

You Can Come To My House
(M. Merenda)

You can come to my house, hide out in the basement
Bitch about the White House, whatever’s on your mind
You can come to my house, we can make arrangements
Go out and pound the pavement then come on back to my house

You can come to my house, ain’t much to write home about
Chuck a mattress in the corner try to get some sleep
You can come to my house in between the roadhouses
In between the highway miles you come to my house

My house ain’t big, baby, my house ain’t clean
Ain’t exactly a pigsty but you know what I mean
I’ll cook you up some dinner, just tell me what you eat
Don’t worry about the dishes in the morning just strip the sheet

You can come to my house, you can pick some records out
Coffee in the cupboard, whisky on the shelf
You can come to my house, I’ll try to keep the children out
Of your hair in the morning, you come to my house

East Side West Side 
(R. Ungar)

I’m singin’ from the north side to the south side
We could be stronger than ever before
I’m singin’ from the east side to the west side
From the shore to the shinin’ shore

Keep a-walkin’ on a good path ‘round the big world
Come back and tell me what you’ve found
We can fight or we can wrestle with the details 
But we’re standin’ on common ground 

If this land is your land, if this land is mine
Then let’s not leave it dirty for the ones that come behind
It’s our to care for and it’s ours share
We’ve all gotta drink the water and we’ve all gotta breathe the air 

I’m singin’ from the north side to the south side
We could be stronger than ever before
I’m singin’ from the east side to the west side
From the shore to the shinin’ shore

Keep a-walkin’ on a good path ‘round the big world
Come back and tell me what you’ve found
We can fight or we can wrestle with the details 
But we’re standin’ on common ground 

We don’t have to agree on everything and that’s ok
But let’s agree on something and make a better day
I’m not sayin that we’re better, not lookin' for a boast or a brag
But i’d like to feel proud when i look up at that flag

I’m singin’ from the north side to the south side
We could be stronger than ever before
I’m singin’ from the east side to the west side
From the shore to the shinin’ shore

Keep a-walkin’ on a good path ‘round the big world
Come back and tell me what you’ve found
We can fight or we can wrestle with the details 
But we’re standin’ on common ground 

My country tis of thee sweet land of liberty
Close minded bigotry open hostility
So stand or take a knee just join your hands with me
Let freedom ring come on let me hear you sing

I’m singin’ from the north side to the south side
We could be stronger than ever before
I’m singin’ from the east side to the west side
From the shore to the shinin’ shore

Keep a-walkin’ on a good path ‘round the big world
Come back and tell me what you’ve found
We can fight or we can wrestle with the details 
But where are we standin’. . . 

You Gotta Believe 
(M. Merenda)

All the good deeds goin’ unsung
More than all the good songs that have passed through my lungs
All the pretty sunsets all the pretty leaves
There’s a lot of good out there you just got to believe 

I live my life like the glass is half full
That half baby i give to you
All of the money can’t buy back the peace
My peace to you you can have that for free

All the good deeds goin’ unsung
More than all the good songs that have passed through my lungs
All the pretty sunsets all the pretty leaves
There’s a lot of good out there you just got to believe 

Believe it a lot or believe it a little
Believe it in your soul believe it in your middle
Believe it again and believe it some more
Maybe we are the ones that we’ve been waiting for 

All the good deeds goin’ unsung
More than all the good songs that have passed through my lungs
All the pretty sunsets all the pretty leaves
There’s a lot of good out there you just got to believe
