We heard the gate slam behind us And felt the cold shame of tears upon our faces Orphans of Eden, wandr’ing homeless, A broken promise bitter upon our lips Banished from your face to walk in the dust Holding your promise so close to us, Emmanuel! God with us. Savior! Anointed one Emmanuel! God with us! Savior! Jesus! Loneliness haunts us, a shadow, Dreams of...

By what I've been reading Bond is a thing of the past. So I had to write a song about it, You think you have everything going your way You lived through danger and called it a day You think you can put down that licence to kill But I know you never will You think you'd be happy down...

Some use AI yes they do But won’t admit that it’s true I’ve seen AI much too much It’s got that robotic touch As long as other folk strive We’ll keep REAL poems alive It’s just too good to be you You use AI yes you do I read each line and I stare As I am all too aware It is just computer speak The...

Tangled up in blue Bob Dylan song contest Tangled up in you I remember the day I saw her, running down the avenue... Chestnut hair flowing in the air, I was taken by the view She was running late, ran by my gate, saying how do you do.... I said, don't run away, come make my day, turn...

Verse 2 I try to keep my eyes open But the world keeps shifting tones, The faces I once laughed with Fade like echoes down a payphone— Still, I hear...

No one compares (to you) I cry myself to sleep almost every night since you took my heart away I try to tell myself... that it's alright I can live for one more day Everywhere I go, things remind me of you the whispers on the breeze, My sorrow paralyzes, what can I do? it brings me to my knees Chorus There's no solace in...
