H eaven seems within reach when the stars come out at night
O ceanic longings of setting sail to reach exotic lands beyond
P agan moon watching over us to see to it we attain our destination
E lusive dreams become reality in the realm of summoned fantasy

watching and waiting
for the time to jump
then it hits me now now now
how how how could i miss it
it was my chance to be something great
the it hits me dont just sit see
don't wait for fate
you can't be someone great without doing something great
so you must do
but who cares about me nothing interesting to see
then make yourself interesting
show up and show them all
than you stand tall
as you rise to the call
but what if i fall
then rise agan
rise rise rise
rise and shine

Sitting by the river, looking up stream, I see ducks in the water floating gracefully. Floating like a leaf on the wings of a gentle breeze, easing along and carefree. My mind floats away to old places as I see the times and spaces of a life once lived, where happiness was. A beautiful,blue eyed, red haired girl, she was there by my side with her hand in mine....walking. Pretty as the morning sun coming up over a snow covered world, her beauty captured my eye. I thought within myself and wondered why she loved........me, I didnt think anyone could but she for a time and it was good, a love I never knew before. But now the door is closed and my love remains and her love goes to another. I dont think love will be found agan, losing her I lost again and I am tired of losing everytime so I will live alone.....and wonder. Will love ever come again, will I want it, will I care, or will I walk away or will I ask myself...when?? where?? why?? and how? .........sitting by the river.
if you look up
you'll see the dust
comming out the clouds
the angel singing loud
come in
my freinds
jesus is here agan
with him you don't die
this is no lie
just
LOOK AT THE SKY
i promise god
if he let me start
all over agan
i would be his friend
and work for him
day and night
yes i promise god
iif he give me one more chance
to dance
in his chruch i would work
and listen to gospel tunes
in the after noon
if just i more start
oh i
