Song in the Rainthe sky broke open the day you left,
and every drop whispered your name.
beneath my coat, the cold crept in,
but the ache in my chest burned just the same.
you once said rain could cleanse the soul—
but all it’s done is make me whole
with memories I can’t contain…
so i sing a song in the rain,
where the silence...

Love Will Find Youyou’ve been walking roads alone,
chasing echoes made of stone.
every smile you wore was brave,
but inside, you tried to save
what was breaking in the night—
the hope that hid behind your light.
but hearts don’t always have to run,
you don’t need to chase the sun.
love will find you, where you are,
in the quiet, in the scar.
even if the...

Swimming in the Sandi thought the tide would carry me,
but waves retreated silently.
i ran toward dreams that slipped right through,
like footprints gone without a clue.
the shore was wide, the sky was grand,
but i was swimming in the sand.
i built a boat from hope and flame,
but nothing stillness couldn’t tame.
i reached for stars that looked so near,
but found no...

Living for a Dreami’ve walked on roads with cracks and fire,
held on tight through sinking mire.
the world kept saying “let it go,”
but my heart whispered, “no, not so.”
i’ve fallen more than i could count,
but every fall just carved me out.
they called it foolish, called it blind—
but hope was the only thing i’d find.
i’m living for a dream, not...

GazaTwo thousand five, the Israeli PM thought there he knew the way
HE had to get out of Gaza, it's impossible to stay
"We can't rule over all these people, and the world will thank us too"
So he pulled out Jewish villages, but troubles only grew.
Hamas took charge in Gaza, it blamed even World Wars on the...

Come to the Pub with me
Come with me and have a drink
to my favourite Irish Inn
as winter gales do blow
take life, a bit , more slow
He stood in front of bar
his drink upon the table
he hadn't traveled far
but by horseback he was able
He was a handsome guy
the apple in mothers eye
he was a farmers boy
his fathers proudest joy
He was...

Get this show on the roadLet’s get this show on the road,
The car's still half empty and we can't seem to load
Susie's applying makeup, Jake’s playing video games,
Mary’s scrolling her socials, where friends call her names.
I want to get to the airport, get out of this city
Go to a place with fresh air, ride horses by the sea
Shed the electronics,...

Peace At LastPeace At Last by Jehovah's Witnesses
When our loved ones arise we'll cry tears of joy, for death must release all her slain
The children will play, each little girl and boy, and none will face anguish or pain
To the ends of the earth there'll be peace at last for all eternity
From the valleys below to the...

Where Have All the Donuts Gone?Apologies to Pete Seeger
Where have all the donuts gone?
They are asking.
Where have all the donuts gone?
Nobody knows.
Where have all the donuts gone?
I ate them - every one.
I hope they never learn.
I hope they never learn....

Mind like wiresHer mind was beautiful
Like wires
At the back of those old TVs
A riot of colors, ideas criss-crossing
Bouncing off one another, melting, melding
Beautiful like a rainbow.
There was no straight connection
To the relay of things, she said.
And her face, her face!
Varied more constantly than weather patterns
Depending on what channel she was on
What high! But it was her mind
That...

RIGHT BEFORE THE DAWN-RIGHT BEFORE THE DAWN-
Right before the Dawn
We arrived awaken
In consciousness
Something from our slumber
Just before the dawn
We would walk hand in hand
Arm to arm praising in
God, Hallelujah
Right before the dawn
We would arise up
Reach up beyond, the stars
The stars
Right before the dawn
We would arise up
Reach up beyond the stars, the stars

BLESSED WITNESS-Blessed witness
Come to me my child
Father says to me in a still voice
You're my mine beloved
I created you from heaven
Sent you down to earth
Through a spiritual tunnel
Grew within a womb of your mother
Father fertile the egg of mama
You'll incubate inside mother's womb
Until you emerge
Spirit first encased in flesh Before during and after, past, present...
