Ma Coyote Roamin' © Alan Wherry daisyamerica LLC Chorus Ma Coyote roamin’ – lookin’ to feed her new brood As New York City welcomes a brand new day She ain’t inclined to view the Hudson, flowing slow as glass Or the sunlight, orange, on the cliffs of the Pallisades Lopin’ where the Lenape walked, not too long ago in Earth time Is she a harbinger for her kind or for the demise of ours? Meanwhile on the cosmic scale – the Great Lord with the blue throat Churns up the poisons in the Milky Way Chorus Malice, from the mediocre mind, Malevolence, from the mean of spirit, Moves aside for She, the Creator Who traces the living forms of nature Chorus But this old world’s gonna change When imaginations blossom Where the three rivers meet And we connect to the divine within chorus
2.	A Wise Man From The East 04:02	lyrics	buy track
A wise man from the East © Alan Wherry - daisyamerica LLC I met a wise man from the East East Belfast, I mean Man was he wise He'd seen the sunrise on the mountains From the Adirondacks to Siberia's Altai He'd sailed down the river Nile Under a cornflower, azure sky From the top of Michu Pichu He'd marveled at the southern skies Seen the sun rise on the Pyramids of Giza A crystal desert sunrise He'd sailed on Cochin harbor And the coast of Malabar From Trivandrum to Calcutta He plied his trade as a ship's carpenter He meditated on the Great Buddha in Kamakura, Japan Did a puja to Lord Shiva on an island near Hassan On a February Shivaratri Day He saw two king cobras In the jungles of Mysore A black one, and a gold one A miracle for sure. He's met the greatest Guru That the world has ever seen She gave him moksha, Self-realization If you know what that means He raised my kundalini On Tievebulliagh mountain fair On a warm spring day in the month of May I found my purpose there.

I SAW THE LIGHT © Alan Wherry - daisyamerica LLC Chorus I saw the light, dawn on New York City I saw the light, man it looked so pretty I saw the light, dawn on New York City I saw the light, cross the US of A Verse Standing on the testing ground Beside an ocean of joy Is it what we own or who we are? Standing on the testing ground Verse On a blanket of forgiveness I find No grudges, no guilt, peace of mind On a blanket of forgiveness I find Break the mind-forged manacles that bind Verse Witness the darkness defer to light Witness the spirit manifest within Witness the Mother Kundalini rise Witness the new dawn arise
4.	Old Pixie Ears 03:17	lyrics	buy track
Chorus Old pixie ears knows too much It's not a burden he carries lightly Old pixie ears knows too much Excess to the point of unsightly Verse A little knowledge is a dangerous thing His is a veritable tsunami A little knowledge is a dangerous thing His is a veritable tsunami Verse His opinions in a given situation Precludes all other possibilities And anyone who disagrees with him Is looking to lose their sensibilities

Wall Street's Creed Is Greed © Alan Wherry - daisyamerica LLC Chorus Wall Street's creed is greed And they think it's fine But their number's up ours is ninety-nine Liberty Plaza, Foley Square, If Inspector Bologna finds you there His pepper spray will have its way In the eyes of helpless women, walking away Who's he protecting, who's he serve?
