Easter

The day of resurrection dawns,
Beneath the golden sun.

Our faith reborn as one.

A holiday of hope and light,
A promise of new life.

With faith that overcomes the strife.

A silent, desperate plea.
A cry for understanding,
For peace and harmony.

The world is full of turmoil,
A sea of sorrow and pain.
My soul is crying out,
A call for change again.

I see the...

And look back on my life,

My heart is filled with gloom,

If I could change just one thing,
It would be the way I see,

"FIGHTING DEMON." 

There's a demon inside me,
A dark and twisted soul,
That keeps me up at night,
And won't let me let go.

That I'll never be great,
It tells me I'll never...

SPRING SONATA

Spring sonata,
Serenades the air,
With flowers that sing,
Of love everywhere.

Tulips sway,
The birds sing sweetly,
As they fly away.

The sun shines bright,
The sky is blue,
The trees are budding,
With leaves anew.

A spring sonata,
A serenade of love,
The flowers...

A game of chance,
With twists and with grit.

And you may feel lost,
But with patience and time,
You'll find what's the cost.

For in every puzzle,
There's a piece...

Are there visiting hours in heaven?
I'd come visit everyday,
I just need to hear you'r voice,
Tell me I'll be ok.

I would bring a tape recorder,
If heaven has no phone.
So I could still hear your voice,
At times...
