Clock On the Wall

The clock still ticks on the living room wall
It’s dark feelings I recall
Death somehow changed it all 
I no longer feel it is my fault 
I learn to let go of pain and grief
Stop asking why this happen to me 
I never will really understand
How evil resides in a god fearing man 
Fate has led me down many a road
Something pushing and pulling me along
But I believe after all these years
That the scars will remain inside me sealed 
A stamp on my soul for which I know
God himself sheds some tears  
 I am not as forgiving as he  
For many demons had hunted me 
I somehow feel there is  someone else 
I can help as I have myself.

Gun On the Floor

There's a gun on the floor
A man's body in the hall
his daghter that lived next door
is the one that made the call 
neighbors gather on the lawn
they want to see it all
the old man lived alone
his name they can,t recall

violence  in our cities
runs rapid like a dog
seems to be no justice
no ones on the job
is there need to wonder
why some feel  the need
to find a real strong rope
and hang villians from a tree 

there's a child in the dumpster
she had been there for a week
the body of the youngster
had been severaly beat
her dad is put on trial
for god and all to see
but the jury could care less 
if he was  a victim himself 

violence in our cities
runs rapid like a dog
seems to be no justice
no ones on the job
is there need to wonder
why some feel the need
to find a real strong rope
and hang villians from a tree

Who You Are Again

February 15, 2012


Fate lent its hand in our story
 we both have so much to tell
as old circumstances were ending
new convictions remove the veil 
so  intense nevertheless rewarding
when you came into my life
I preferred the opportunity to show you 
My affections not based on terms nor a lie   
you  now experience anguish  and its my burden 

while I  tried to be that flickering  light 
 please stop all the anxiety and tears 
Walk tall there's nothing left to fear  
You’re free without coercion of reconciliation 
this pain will ease as time fades within the years 
Take back  freedom the power to live
Beware some days will  still be uphill
But  baby hold your head high
cause something inside won't be denied 
as you Discover who you are again 
please recall me as a friend 
it's time to end the grief
our passion was out of desperate  need 
to feel alive and on fire
to know we matter to someone for awhile
 
take back the freedom the power to live
beware some days will still be uphill
but baby hold your head high
cause something inside can't be denied 
as you discover who you are again 
please recall me as a friend
