“It can feel like such a dream”
Matt “D” Dynan
And it can feel like such a dream
This life, and all it brings
Lollipops and dandelions, butterflies and birds
Summer time and the 4th of July
Collecting lightning bugs
Catching frogs in the window sills
Golf ball hunting in the ponds
Happiness came floating by
In a hot air balloon ride
Seeing nature from up above
Made me feel so much love
Little girl in a pretty dress
Eating ice cream, It’s the best
Going to Bob’s Drive Inn 4 dogs and two taverns please
And it can feel like such a dream
This life, and all it brings
Lollipops and dandelions, butterflies and birds
Summertime and the 4th of July
Collecting lightning bugs
Take a picture with your camera
Take a picture with your mind
There’s going to be a day you want to hit rewind
Sing and dance, laugh and play,
Were going to go all the way
It all makes my heart sing
This life, and all it brings
And how to cherish every day,
Choose a path and go that way
Picture God dancing to the beat
Saying, if you let me put you through all the right moves you will not have to suffer anymore
No more suffering, Yippy, Count me in, in fact I’ll take two, Hey Alright
And it can feel like such a dream
This life, and all it brings
Lollipops and dandelions, butterflies and birds
Summer time and the 4th of July
Collecting lightning bugs

“There’s a Light in my soul”
Matt "D" Dynan
There’s a light in my soul
There’s a light down below
And it’s been a long day
It’s been a long life too
But I know I’m not alone
I may be afraid, but that’s ok
I know I’m not alone
There’s a light in my soul
There’s a light down below
And it’s been a long day
It’s been a long life too
The children outside all laugh and play
But for me it feels pretty far away
Pretty far from a holiday
Oh There’s a light in my soul
There’s a light down below

Angels and Butterlies

“Angels and Butterflies”
by Matt “D” Dynan
Angels and Butterflies,
The deep blue moon and the sky
The gravity you defeated
Is the same one that brings me down
You inspire me to be a better person
You inspire me to lift my head above the ground
You look down as compassion
It doesn’t even feel like you’re looking down at all
I see how your wisdom is everywhere
Everywhere except for in ego offness
You make me wonder how you came to be
How many days were you lost at sea
Angels and Butterflies,
The deep blue moon and the sky
The gravity you defeated
Is the same one that brings me down
You inspire me to be a better person
You inspire me to lift my head above the ground
And love is such a funny question
Cause sometimes the greatest risk we take
Is not taking a risk at all

“The Majestic Sands of Time”
Matt “D” Dynan
Feeling the breeze, walking through the times
Going where I’ve never gone before
The times that we have, the times that we shared
A white puppy dog going through the fog
The lights of the night are shining bright
A beautiful escape on the horizon
A beautiful woman freedoms to award the songs of God
Yellow and blue paint, the tenor orchestrates
For miles in the sands
The majestic sands of times
Walks along the beech, sand beneath his feet
The wondrous ocean breeze reminds one of God
And into the sand of times the banjo player hums
The breeze of God invites one to sing
All into the microphone of the precious wilderness
The children choir sings, all joyous miracles from God
All happening in the trumpet sands of times
The church bells dance like the wind
And everything becomes still
In the gentle sands of times
The organ player weeps music into the souls
The staircase winds and guides into the light of being
The librarian reads psalms into the beacon
The prophet writes about the majestic sands of times
The majestic sands of times
All the people join hands together and sing
The seagulls flock in wondrous bliss
All into the majestic sands of times
The majestic sands of times

Kisses Covered in Stone

“Kisses Covered in Stone”
by Matt “D” Dynan
I’m going home and you are too
The time went so fast, it always does
I hate to say goodbye, but I’m glad we said hello
And wherever we go
You’ll always be in my heart
Just like temptation’s cologne
We’ll never be alone
Kisses covered in stone
The fires that we started, the ashes that we breathed
The late night drinking parties and hangovers in misery
I want you to know I love you, and I know you love me too
And wherever we go
You’ll always be in my heart
Just like freedom from harm
A feeling so warm
Kisses covered in stone
Hitting the b’s with the bat, I still remember that
The pranks we pulled at school, man we were so cool
Life’s only rule is don’t forget to drool
And wherever we go
You’ll always be in my heart
Whether it’s up in the clouds
Or just another town
Just like before we were born
It’ll feel like home
Kisses covered in stone

“There’s Always a Calm After the Storm”
Matt “D” Dynan
Remember all those years
When you could not shed a tear
And nothing you did could calm your nasty nerves from shaking
Well, this all too shall pass
So take off your mask
And remember there’s always a calm after the storm
So don’t fright if the light is shining too bright
Or if darkness is all that surrounds you
There’s a light inside your soul
And this too you shall know
There’s always a calm after the storm
And the crowd that sneers
Is only holding back a tear
For their mistaken freedom to misfortune
And while the songs that you sing
May not be fit for a king
But what does a bad songwriter really know about good politics anyway
And don’t forget to breathe
When your’re stuck out at this sea
Long after your logical mind has lost its rights for bragging
In your weakness He is strong
And don’t forget that you belong
No matter what your convoluted society influenced voices have been telling you
And as the pieces of your past
Get shattered into glass
Don’t forget the lessons you earned for they will bother you
And it’s only a dream
Although it may not seem
At least its something that will make you feel better
And you need to take what you can
When the waves are crashing in
And your whole world is slamming and banging
And there will come a day
When everything will be ok
Or even better yet you might just find yourself truthfully smiling
But until then my friend
Take a deep breath in
And remember there’s always a calm after the storm

It Feels like I'm Losing Faith
By Matt "D" Dynan
Filled up with fear, I’m about to break
I knew it would be hard, but this is more than I can take
Acceptance would be easy if you gave me one flower
Instead of a message I don’t have any power
Am I a gold nugget in your throne
Or just a crutch you make feel so alone
I feel like I’m losing faith
And sometimes faith is all you have
When your action alleys turn to praying prairies
And your colored footprints only make you worry
I Feel like I’m losing faith
And sometimes faith is all you have
I hope the promises will come true
But how much suffering must I go through
I wanna be patient, but I can’t wait
Must I turn control over to fate
Constantly creating imperfection
Desperately in need of your direction
I feel like I’m losing faith
And sometimes faith is all you have
When Sunday morning turns to Sunday night
And no matter what you do you can’t see that light
I feel like I’m losing faith
And sometimes faith is all you have

A Minnesota Mantra”
Matt Dynan
If all you see is sadness when you look up at the sky
Wipe the teardrop from your eye because
Everything is going to be all right
Everything is going to be all right
Friend said he’s moving on, goona be all right
Goona eat some food tonight, goona be all right
Goona drink some water tonight, goona be all right
Goona go on a run tonight, goona be all right
Everything is going to be all right
Everything is going to be all right
Goona make myself smile tonight, goona be all right
Goona do some Tai Chi tonight, goona be all right
Don’t have to do it alone tonight, goona be all right
Goona say some prayers tonight, goona be all right
No matter what it is, its goona be alright
No matter what it is its goona be all right
No matter what it is its goona be all right
Everything is going to be all right
Everything is going to be all right
Everything is going to be all right

“Angels of the Day and Night”
By Matt “D” Dynan
Angels of the day
And angels of the night
Tell me that everything’s
Goona be alright
Cause I’ve reached my fill
I’m well over the hill
This time
My head is ringing like a bell
I’m looking up at hell
Again
Just like the birds need the sky
And the summer needs the sun
I need you
To carry me through
When I’m feeling blue
To tell me there’s nothing
That I can’t do
Angels of the day
And angels of the night
Tell me that everything’s
Goona be alright
I wish I could pretend
But I really need a friend
Right now
I’ve spilled out on the floor
Lost my core
Just like before
Just like Bob needed Woody
And I needed him
I need you
To lighten the way
When I’ve gone astray
To stay right beside me
Whenever I pray
Angels of the day
And angels of the night
Tell me that everything’s
Goona be alright

Sadness Filled with Hope

“Sadness Filled with Hope”
By Matt “D” Dynan
I’m going away, I wish I could stay
I hope that my love will last
I’m packing up my bags, my life must change
I go where I’ve never gone before
This life remains a mystery, love is all I see
It has become to torture the one who dares to think beyond
Life it seems, these dreams agree
That breathe my depression through the floor
Something is broke, to see the one
By fault imprisoned without your glass
In your eyes too it seems, love is all it brings
Obstructions exist but aren’t true
Will we remain veiled by the shadow of the light
That shines upon our seeds
Give me a reason, give me your time,
Give me courage when the tide starts to hum
Cause it may take some time to forgive
The one you never should have left behind
Love is all there is
It flows with the brushes our souls must learn to guide
In time we will see the tragedy
Where we are and where we could be
There is a feeling I felt once before
I go because I believe it still exists
Love is all, all there is, it’s all there will ever be

What if we were just One

“What if We Were Just One”
By Matt “D” Dynan
What if we were just one with no divisions
What if we lived as one
Then everything, that we thought we knew, would come undone
We wouldn’t have to worry about others
And what they might say
We wouldn’t have a need for anger and jealousy would go away
It’s not that were all bad,
But the truth can be so sad
Like a veil that needs a lifting
But gets so buried in the mud
What could bring it out,
Oh it must be love
Oh it must be love
Like Black Elk’s vision
We’d finally be given
If we lived as one
We’d have chattery teeth
From our souls to our feet
If we lived as one
We wouldn’t feel judged
We would only know love
If we lived as one
How would it feel
So awesomely real
If we lived as one
The cardinals would sing
It would be all we’d need
If we lived as one
It would feel just like waking up from a dream
It’ll feel just like waking up from a dream
It feels just like waking up from a dream
And It’s not that were all bad,
But the truth can be so sad
Like a veil that needs a lifting
But gets buried so deep in the mud
What could bring it out
Oh it must be love
Oh it must be love

“John’s Poem”
Lyrics by “John”
Music and arrangement by Matt Dynan
We see the world and all its anguish and despair
So we create our own worlds, worlds in which
We do the things that we like to do
And you do the things you like to do
And I’ll do the things I like to do.
To me you are a shooting star, I can’t reach
A lily I can’t touch, a honey I can’t taste
And your beauty is such
That I’ll never be able to hold a candle to it
And you do the things you like to do
And I’ll do the things that I like to do.
If everyone was like you, there would be no wars
Or evil, or starvation, cause if everyone was like you
This world would be so perfect, it would be utopian in itself
In fact its inner beauty would far outshine its outer beauty
And you do the things that you like to do
And I’ll do the things I like to do.
Give me the wisdom of an owl, the courage of a lion
The strength of a Grizzly Bear, the sensitivity of a daisy
And let me return all these assets from the deepest depths of my heart
And you do the things you like to do
And I’ll do the things I like to do.
