Flute Blues


Dare to be True
(Original music composed for Atrebla web page. Words: Anon)

Dare to do right! Dare to be true!
You have a work that no other can do;
Do it so bravely, so kindly, so well,
Angels will hasten the story to tell.

Dare to do right! Dare to be true!
Other men's failures can never save you.
Stand by your conscience, your honor, your faith;
Stand like a hero and battle till death.

Dare, dare, dare to do right; Dare, dare, dare to be true;
Dare to be true, dare to be true.


The Bug
(Original music and lyrics composed for the Children's Ditty Book.)

One leg, two legs, three legs, four,
Five legs, six legs, Look, there's more.
Seven legs, eight legs, nine and ten,
On that bug crawling down my pen!


The Masterpiece

Paint a little kindness here, paint a virtue there.
Shade it with a lot of love and talents to be shared,
Then add some gentle humour and personality.
With faith the crowning feature, the masterpiece is me.


The Lord of the Manor


Enchanted Garden Theme

Zarahemla
(Original music composed for the roadshow On the road to Zarahemla.)
