Growing Old
It feels like I’ve been around too long.
Every tune has become the same old song.
Every plight’s just a fight to no end
cuz there’s no way to win.
And I can’t help but notice as I’m growing old -
I believe less and less of what I’m told.
Cuz the world’s nothing more than
an endless round of spin.
Every voyage I take that’s pushed by sails
is another lap around ...

Full Color
A morning walk, amidst the trees, beneath a sky of grey.
The sound of crisp from frozen ground breaks silence in the air.
I love the feeling that I get on such a winter day,
where light through all the empty branches somehow takes me there.
It makes me dream of times in spring where newness comes again.
Can’t help envisioning the grey transforming into green.
But then it ne...

From The Look Down
Another spotlight, make the headlines.
A final shout-out to the ranks of the-do-fine.
Did I make you stop and think?
Now looking down… from the look down,
me and every other ghost in this town
who couldn’t live life on the brink.
And I say - hey. There’s got to be a way
for everyone who couldn’t be.
Yeah, I say - hey. There’s got to be a way.
Gotta be a way… for m...

Foolish Crowd
There are a lot of mysteries, anomalies and such,
things that seem to have no explanation why they are.
One of these (above the rest) that makes me wonder much -
is how the foolish crowd is made of people who are far
from being foolish on their own. Yes, people who are good.
Yet somehow when they’re in a group, mysteriously they change.
It’s something I suppose just really...

Do You Feel The Music
Do you feel the music?
Does it capture in your soul
the feelings that got lost in there
as you’ve played out your role?
Have you ever sat and listened,
let it take you far away?
Well, I’ve done it time and again
and I can clearly say -
that nothing else compares.
It’s like a portal out of time,
where you can let things go and heal,
submerged in the sublim...

Eye To Eye
We are so different, totally.
There hardly is a thing
that gives us common ground at all,
but it is interesting –
that we can still live side by side
in pure peace if we try.
Cuz everything is possible…
when we see eye to eye.

Eternally Alone
It doesn’t matter how the sun sets,
nor how the clear streams flow.
There is no joy in waves of grain
or brilliant fields of snow.
This world in all its glory
spins round eternally,
but glory melts to sand and grey
because there’s only me.
I once lived life upon a world
with billions by my side,
where I spent my time wishing
I could run away and hide.

Dream In Color
Did I lie awake at night,
or did I dream in color?
Such wonderous things
I saw and heard,
that took me to the other
side of the stream
from whence things flow.
A magic filled the air.
So mystified, I was at home
completely unaware.
For time stood still,
bathed in the light
and love that make all things,
a message fell
like drops of rain,
and ...

December Rainy Night
Starring out my window this December rainy night,
all I can do is long for you again.
Sometimes I feel I’m over you, like maybe I just might
move on and forget about all that’s been.
But as the raindrops fall, all of the tears I hold inside
come tumbling down as blue skies turn to grey.
And then it doesn’t matter much, how hard I have tried
to let you go and go another wa...

Deserts Of New Mexico
Sandstorm churning in my mind tonight,
driven by the wind of change.
And I know… it’s not that easy.
Drove a million miles and it is all the same,
spinning through the circles of my mind.
And it’s cold… it’s not that easy.
But there’s a feeling unlike any other thing I know -
on the deserts of New Mexico,
I see forever but it’s not… not as far as I can see.
Yeah, th...

Depart
Have you perhaps, held on too long
to the place you call home?
Have you let too much time slip by,
avoiding the unknown?
It’s hard not to be scared of change,
it happens naturally.
The risk of taking chances, yes
it’s pure anxiety.
But staying in this place is death,
you’re meant to rise and grow.
Your heart is meant to be your guide,
trust it and just le...

Corners
There’s a corner of eternity
where I’ve built a simple home.
A place that I can go to
when I want to be alone.
A place where winds of
time and space glide gently
through the air.
A place each time I leave,
I’m longing,
wishing I were there.
We deal with many things in life,
so much that brings us down.
We swim through burdens, paddling,
hop...

Choices
Two birds left the nest after they had learned to fly,
setting off to find what the world has got to give.
Each had what it takes to ascend into the sky,
but each bird also had different reasons why they lived.
One lived a life to soar above, his days spent in the air.
The other lived to gather in and build a stable home.
One was carefree enjoying daily views beyond com...

By The Light Of The Moon
I sometimes sit awake at night
unsure what I should do,
swimming through my thoughts
yeah, all the worries of the day.
I guess I like the solitude,
although I’m feeling blue
there in the quiet moonlight
softly, God opens the way.
In dim of night he reassures,
a peace rests in the air.
The things I want to worry of,
they simply melt away,
replaced by vis...

Breakthrough
Who knows
how many
layers
over
generations
have been
used.
Sprayed on,
and caked on,
and smeared on
thick
for the purpose
of covering
the truth.
Oh ye who
through the ages
have done this,
though
your layers
be deep,
know this -
that the truth
will break though.
Not a thing
you can do.
For all

Baltimore To Somewhere
BALTIMORE TO SOMEWHERE
You wished upon a star
and got left out in the rain.
You gave it all your heart
and it just got broke again.
Oh… It just got broke again.
You dressed unto the nines,
and I guess he’ll never see.
You painted a whole world, clearly it
is not meant to be.
Not meant to be.
Oh... not meant to be
He let you down again

A Little Time
A LITTLE TIME
Daddy, spend some time with me,
it’s all I really need.
It doesn’t have to be that much,
let’s go do simple things.
Help me remember times back when
I was a little girl,
when you called me your princess doll,
back when you used to twirl
me round and round. You’d tossed me high,
just simply having fun.
So, Daddy let’s ...
