   About T. Ray and the Shades
SEIZE THE DAY

Seize the day
There's got to be a better way
No war  No greed  No violence take heed
There's got to be a better way

In paradise where water runs clear
The air is pollution free and clean
The land is rich and fertile
The food is pesticide free
What's happened to me
What's happened to you
Is it what you thought it would be
Are you living your truth

Seize the day
There's got to be a better way
No war  No greed  No violence take heed
There's got to be a better way

How can they show their face
and lie with such disgrace
It makes no sense to me
The severity and the cruelty
But they'll give us compromise
through lying eyes
All the chitter and chatter
drones out what really matters
Stealing our freedom
with their simple slogans and programed answers
Not you
Can you remember your youth
Are you living your truth

Seize the day
There's got to be a better way
No war  No greed  No violence take heed
There's got to be a better way
