The River's Gonna Rise
This is an original song about being (maybe) overly optimistic, and offering an alternative to watching the sky fall. The last chord, however, may remind us of Nero playing the fiddle.
It is presented here with Band in a Box, Reaper, Cakewalk, and Ozone 10. I played bass and vocal.

The River's Gonna Rise
Everyday we hear there's gonna be another storm.
Yet we sleep tight all night.
There's always something fearful that they say is going on,
and claim we cannot fight.
We may as well be happy waiting out the tide.
It seems a better place for us to hide.
They say the river's gonna rise today; we say it's gonna be okay,
They say the river's gonna rise tonight; we say it's gonna be alright.
Someone's always telling folks there's danger in the air.
Yet still they breathe just fine.
They preach the end is coming, and forwarn us to beware.
That's how they waste their time.
We may as well be happy waiting out the storm.
We'll have our family love to keep us warm.
Let us all together say we know the end is near,
then let's enjoy the day.
We can't go on reviewing what inside we all must fear.
Let's let the children play.
We may as well be happy waiting out the storm.
We'll have each other's love to keep us warm.
