BIG LOVE
I ain’t exactly certain but I kinda remember something
About the birds of the air flying free
With blossoms and grasses gently bending in the breeze
And the sun shining down on everything
If I could be like them – if I could believe
Oh – I could know the Big Love
Yeah- the Big Love, baby
Well I’m not into numbers but I’ve counted up the lovers
Just like god has counted each hair on my head
Most gave me something
Some gave me nothing
And I few times I gave less than that
But I told myself, “Hey – this was a chance”
A chance to know the Big Love Yeah the Big Love, Baby
Big Llove that moves mountains
Big love that grants peace
Big Love that makes a new start
The big shining shimmer
Hiding in the glimmer
Of the faintest of hearts
Once when I was stinkin’ full of rage and drink
I threw my glass of booze against the wall
And as the liquid spattered and the glass smashed and shattered
I screamed out loud “GOD SAVE MY WRETCHED SOUL!!”
And I fell into a pit of black
And there I met the Big Love, Yeah, the Big Love, baby
Big love that moves mountains
Big love that grants peace
Big love that makes a new start
The big shining shimmer
Hiding in the glimmer
Of the faintest of hearts
I am just a sinner in love with the glimmer
Of a spotlight shining on my face
The stage is my meadow where I feel the gentle breeze blow
Where I try to bend closer to the place
Where I am free and I can believe
Believe in the Big Love, Believe in the Big Love, baby
Big Love that moves mountains
Big Love that grants peace
Big Love that makes a new start
The big shining shimmer
Hiding in the glimmer
Of the faintest of heart

I LOVE JULIAN
for Julian Assange, founder of Wikileaks
Don’t stand in the dark and lie to me
Come into the light so I can see
The blood on your hands, the evil in your eyes
I love Julian!
It’s gonna get ugly, it’s gonna get rough,
I know just how tough they’re gonna play
They wanna shut you down, they gotta shut you up
I love Julian!
The titans are trembling
The tyrants scared
Of Delilah cutting off their hair
Well-coiffed secrets are falling to the floor
I love Julian!
The uniforms and the business suits
Are terrified that we will see the truth
That they’re bleeding us dry
They’re taking everything we got
I love Julian!
All of the heroes I’ve ever loved
Have been shot, jailed or hung
For telling the truth, for saying it straight
For taking the heat and I love Julian!
See the monster with his mask
See the bully with his guns and his gas
See the people marching in the street
I love Julian!
See the shiny war machine
That fights a foe I do not know or see
While mercenaries profit
And the politicians preen
I love Julian!
It won’t be pretty and it won’t be nice
The truth requires a sacrifice
There is a cost
We must be willing to pay
I love Julian!
The truth is a lover in the night
Passionate and hot
The truth whispers in your ear
“ Now’s the time to JUST STAND UP!”
Sometimes it’s a word,
Sometimes it’s an act
Sometimes it’s a march in the street.
Sometimes it’s quiet,
Sometimes it’s a riot Sometimes it’s a leak
And I love Julian!
All of the heroes I’ve ever loved
Have been shot, jailed or hung
For telling the truth, for saying it straight
For taking the heat and I love Julian!
I love Julian, oooh, oooh|
I love Julian!
I LOVE JULIAN!
