Mind's Eye

I am paying tribute to Joe Bonamasso's song Mind's Eye with my own inspired lyrics, this song is a jewel and Joe's haunting playing on his Gibson guitar is like a light gleaming in the darkness, an escape ! ~ And my lyrics go like this ~ Help me Jesus, find some peace I am down down, plunging down swirling in my pain, please hold my hand before I fall, into the flames I am so lost, sweet love decayed time and space, is disappearing I am haunted, I am haunted hold me close Jesus, help me before I fall, into the flames I am down down, plunging down time and space disappearing there is no time Rescue, me and the rain is falling falling hard on a long winding forgotten dark street and there is no time, no time to reach me Reaching, a hidden bar like a ray of light in the darkness reaching out for my bruised soul and my scarred heart Listen, I hear a guitar riff oh, I am haunted, I am haunted hold me close, comfort me guitar before I fall, fall into the flames Help me, cause I am going down, down plunging out of control fast, as time and space disappear, and the guitar is shredding and draws me in On the stage, a man and his guitar reach for me descending into my head, it is sublime, magical strong, chilling, powerful, emotional Singing, his rhythmic melodic voice soothes me lingering in my brain, opening a door once closed and I can see with my minds eye I see, the world falling, falling into nothing can I help save it or is it too late for that best I save myself, save myself first and reach out, reach out to people with my minds eye Haunted by memories, all the closed doors my blood is frozen, my journey too hard can I save the world, and save myself I am awake Jesus, with my minds eye my minds eye On the stage, a man and his guitar reach for me descending into my head, it is sublime, magical strong, chilling, powerful, emotional Singing, his rhythmic melodic voice soothes me lingering in my brain, opening a door once closed and I can see through my minds eye I see, the world falling, falling into nothing can I help save it or is it too late for that best I save myself, save myself first and reach out, reach out to people keep my minds eye Help me Jesus, find some peace I am down down, plunging down swirling in my pain, please hold my hand before I fall, into the flames I am so lost, sweet love decayed time and space, is disappearing I am haunted, I am haunted hold me close Jesus, help me before I fall, into the flames I am down down, plunging down time and space disappearing there is no time left Listen, stop speaking there is no time left, no time left to save the world to save myself and you there is no time left _____________________ May 17, 2023 Written for the contest, Joe Bonamassa Inspiration 5 sponsor, Robert James Liguori
