Being Baby Boo                         Words and Music by Michael Popienko ã2007

 
Being Baby Boo
A highly touted generation
Famous for high expectations
From all that we do    

Being Baby Boo
Found that I’m addicted to life
Still learnin and yearnin
Never ever completely satisfied …in my life!

Gerber foods, then TV, got my mustang, I was set free
Real Estate, Stock Market, the internet, I’m a jet  being baby boo

Being Baby Boo
Always wanna have a really good time
Always thinkin in my prime
Now all I have are these Boo Boos     

Being Baby Boo
Gotta lotta money comin to my hands
Gotta make a worldly big plan
To make another difference before I land …in the makers hands

Gerber foods, then TV, got my mustang, I was set free
Real Estate, Stock Market, the internet, I’m a jet set   

ooooh ooh yeh being baby boo

Being Baby Boo
I’m a Silver Tsunami
I’m a silver surfer too
Not looking to goin down before I’m thru

With the makers’ big plan!

Mother Earth (New Beginning)      Words and Music by Michael Popienko ã2006

 

So what’s the earth, really worth, to you?
Even children know that we don’t get two.
So why do we adults treat Mother Earth the way we do?

Is this the best that we can do or can this be Mother Earth’s new beginning?

John Lennon once said, “There are no problems only solutions.”
So our leaders gotta lead, what you and I vote them to really do.
So the answer has to come from human hearts of me and you.

Is this the best that we can do or can this be our new beginning?

Mother Earth needs a lotta love but not from above, and she knows it’s true
Will we keep on faking, while we keep on taking until she’s thru?
She’s priceless, she’s unique and she’ a pretty blue.

And she asks of all of us...
“Ain’t billion$and trillion$not enough money for all you?”

Is this the best that we can do or can this be our new beginning?

So what’s the earth, really worth, to you?

Turns Me On                            Words and Music by Michael Popienko ã2007

Water circles the globe
With time helps things grow
Water falls from the sky
Easily drips from my eye 

And life she goes on
With or without me
And that, Turns me on

Fire sometimes yellow
At night time makes me feel mellow
Fire warms my bones
Especially, when I get home

And Life she goes on
With or without me
And that, Turns me on 

Wind she, she blows my mind
Every time, she passes by
The answer, Bob said, “is blowin in the wind”
And I know somehow, we can all win

Cause life she goes on and on
With or without me
And that, Turns me on    Turns me on.

I see children playin in the park
And I know deep, down deep in my heart
That I wanna play my little part
Do what I can, for those little stars

Cause Life she’ll go on and on
With or without me
And that, Turns me on

If it is to be it is up to us …and that turns me on.

Love is all we’ll need                  Words and Music by Michael Popienko ã2005-7

Peace can come true any day we want
Dreams can come true any day we want 

Life is a dreamer’s paradise
Life is a dreamer’s heavenly delight

And love is all we’ll need

My mind is cosmically on all the time
My mind will enlighten me cosmically in due time

Harmony can come true any day we desire
Harmony is a dreamer’s daily desire

And love is all we’ll need

My mind in this life seeks peace with harmony
My mind is at peace with harmony in this life

And love is all we’ll need

All we’ll need is love, All we need love, All we need is more love
All we need is love 
 

Branded                                          Words and Music by Michael Popienko ã2007

 

Abercrombe, Levis jeans, I got Nike all over me wanna be branded
Generic cheaper but labels turn me on  wanna be branded
I don’t know but I’ve been told, that labels can really get you sold wanna be branded

I gotta Ipod, I gotta a Rasor, I’m HDTV now I got get her just to look at me

I don’t know how this works, she’s looking at me and this works cause I’m branded
With Rayban shades, I got it made, she’s looking at me, could be my babe cause I’m branded
It all comes together, I’m not aware, She’s got me, I’m in her hair cause I’m branded

I gotta Ipod, I gotta a Razor, I’m HDTV now I got get her just to stay with me

After a week, she knows me, she can now see, that I’m just really me
Now I know, brands weren’t the thing, I couldn’t see what I just didn’t need
Cause I was already branded.   I was Brandon!

Cause I was Brandon, I could be Christopher, I could be Cody, I could be John  fade, I could be Paul, I could be me, and everyone would see, a rising brand call me!

 

Simple Kind of Man                       Words and Music by Michael Popienko ã2006

When I was younger with no worries of the day
The sun would shine in to my wide eyes and would simply play
Hey, Hey, Hey  Hey, Hey

Now that I’m older and I’ve started to understand
What it takes to live in this world and remain a simple man
Hey, Hey, Hey  Hey, Hey
Thats what I say

Become a simple kind of Man, Become a simple kind of Man

Now I’m livin 365/24/7
Certainly tryin to make my way towards my own concept of heaven
Hey, Hey, Hey ,Hey, Hey

Trying to refrain from becoming some Nowhere Man
It’s easy to do the sub can’t refuse now I know that I can
Hey, Hey, Hey  Hey, Hey Thats what I say

Become a simple kind of Man , Become a simple kind of Man

One thing that I’m sure of that I’ve learned on my way
Is to get as much as love as you can in the most simplest way

And become a simple kind of Man , Become a simple kind of Man

 

LOVE ME                                     Words and Music by Michael Popienko ã2006

   

Being right can mean being wrong
Becoming blind doesn’t take to long
I gotta be strong and know when to bite my tongue
To stay in love with you a long, long time

But love me like my God loves me
And love me unconditionally
And I promise to love you right back
Unconditionally and tenderly

Wisdom says compromise is
One of loves real simple solutions
So I’ll swallow my pride this time to get back too
Tongue dancing with you all over again.

But love me like my God loves me
And love me unconditonally                                                         
And I promise to love you right back
Unconditionally and tenderly

We love each other now so tenderly
We respect other now unconditionally
When our eyes meet, we feel complete
Inside our love with one another

So love each other like God loves you
And love each other unconditionally too
And if you know, you’ll know how
And your love for each other
Will always provide the simple solutions
Ain’t no surprise, compromise is the simple solution

Your love for each other will never die compromising.

The Tree       Words and Music by Michael Popienko ã2007

 
The Tree that standing over there
Feeds me my lovin in the air
That I breathe for my simple daily care
And I know there’s something that I owe

To the Tree, To the 

You get to play your guitars on me daily
You get to write your songs on me daily
You get to wipe you’re ah softly daily
We do so much that you don’t even see

Said all the Trees, said all the trees,
They said “there’s no me without you , without you,

They knows, it’s up to we, you and me human beings

The Tree Chi said to me
I’d appreciate a mental hug daily
I betcha can’t see that I’m weeping
Round and round we’ll go only if you save me

Said the Tree Chi, said the tree Chi
Chi said “there’s no me without you , without you
Chi knows, it’s up to we, you and me human beings

Hammock in the Tree                 Words and Music by Michael Popienko ã2007

Young with two eyes thought I could see
Now I got four can’t see a damn thing

Now I realize gotta compromise
I can’t even fart in disguise

Watch the news everyday
The praise the blues puts me in a daze

Seeing my wife over there
Spending my life getting in her hair

A day in the life means 8 days a weeks
A hard days night makes a man weak

Now I’m wiser drinkin Budweiser
Got six eyes still can’t see

Traveling this highway my soul and me
Life’s been good hammock in the tree

A Warriors Tribute to Eternal Peace (Imagine)      Words and Music by Michael Popienko ã2005

 
I’ve seen people really fight
God knows it just ain’t right
Some Leaders just can’t see
What war does to humanity …and me

I’ve see my friends really fight
Till they can’t sleep at night
Their dreams turn into fears
When the sound of war rings in their ears …for years

This insanity can go away
When the light of love shines on our faces
We need to imagine all people
Living their lives purposely … In Peace

Yes Imagine all, the people, yes imagine them,
living in Peace, in Harmony,  Eternally, Yes Imagine
