Every day it seems a battle,
finds a way to leave you rattled,
the nonsense you see on TV,
lots of lies from the legacy,
traffic jams, can’t work from home,
boss demands, tell his where to go,
just goes on, the price we must pay,
comes a time you must get away!
I want to go off,
let this thing blow off,
the stress I’ll throw off,
I want to go off.
I want to go off,
let this thing blow off,
the stress I’ll throw off,
let this thing explode.
Find the time, bleed it off slowly,
clear my mind of the unholy,
make a plan, or maybe wing it,
find something that I can sink in.
Get a drink, maybe a woman,
take a trip, get up and go then,
some chaos, can be balancing,
feel alive, that’s what I’m wanting.
I want to go off,
let this thing blow off,
the stress I’ll throw off,
I want to go off.
I want to go off,
let this thing blow off,
the stress I’ll throw off,
let this thing explode.
Let this thing explode,
let this thing explode,
let this thing explode…
every man must unload.
A black child knows the song of heavy trains,
as clanging engines brought my father home.
His weary, sweaty, fat thighs bearing strain,
from cooking pots of food for those well-known.
We felt the forceful song of heavy trains,
not rails or trams that ride below the street.
A move that in your gut of gut does reign,
black power that comes up beneath your feet.
Our past has known the song of steel on steel
as trains have carried tired heads held high.
When we approached we heard the air brakes squeal,
and at that sound we thought our hopes were nigh.
We've listened for the song of trains for years.
Their mournful horns just croon a memory,
and often resurrect the blues of tears,
or flash across the mind as reverie.
For many years we've sang the sad refrain,
with strength and power striving in the soul.
This melody of freedom laced with pain.
The weight of all life's longings taking toll.
Oh, sing a song of praise for those who bare
the weight of heavy trains within our past,
a rocking to and 'fro' from here to there,
maintaining in our spirits WILL to last.
VERSE 1
If love can fly like a dove,
It will find peace in your heart.
There flows the fountain of love,
So never let it depart.
CHORUS
True love surely spreads wide wings,
Hate makes it fly far away.
My queen, take me as your king,
Hear my plea, I gently pray.
VERSE 2
A garden for my rose plant,
It blossoms with joy and peace.
Its sweetness none can recant,
For it tastes pure, sweet bliss.
REPEAT CHORUS
BRIDGE
We’re one soul though two mortals,
The mirror showing me joy.
Your heart and mind are portals
To love that will never cloy.
VERSE 3
Whatever song my heart sings,
It’s for your love to hold me.
Save me from the pain life brings,
Set my heart forever free.
REPEAT CHORUS TILL FADE

verse 1:
the night is long and the road is wide,
i've stepped through dark, side by side.
yet in the darkness- a voice has grown,
a gentle call to take me home.
chorus:
take me home, where the light will stay,
through every storm, you will lead my way
when all is gone, and I stand alone,
your love will rise to take me home.
verse 2:
the world may melt, the years may bend
but love outlives the bitter end.
no fright, no night, no tomb of stone
can split the song that takes me home.
chorus:
take me home, where the light will stay,
through every storm, you will lead my way
when all is gone, and I stand alone,
your love will rise to take me home...
The alarm clock sounds off to the tune of Neil Young’s, There’s a World.
A place that is non-existent in today’s life of a constant upwhirl.
Our dreams and aspirations are put to the side.
To get ready for the day of demands and haste for pride.
We enter our vehicles to begin a long drive, tiredness and red eyed.
To a place called work.
That requires you to do the tasks for that special perk.
No time to think.
No time to blink.
Your life is full of deadlines, distractions, until the pen runs dry, out of ink.
For hours on end, is this constant repetitive action.
You’re told what to say.
You’re told what to do.
Colleges are fighting over who is using the offices favorite glue.
We are all in this mess together.
Bound like pieces of sewn up stitches of leather.
All for the reward.
A paycheck to continue to do it over and over again.
Feeling like a dartboard.
Designed, controlled in the trap.
It is the life of a well paid collapse.
Hard work…boss a jerk,
took credit…for your work.
best friend…blew you off,
still has…your favorite top,
Traffic…had you late
for your…diner date,
the stress…has you mean,
get to…blow of steam.
Girl put on your best,
I’m coming to get you,
better than the rest,
Friday night, I‘d never forget you.
Friends with…benefits,
but we’re…more than this,
I hate…when you’re down,
a break…you’re allowed.
We’ll dance…to the dawn,
forget…the weekend long,
show you…I can stay,
and love…you this way.
Girl put on your best,
I’m coming to get you,
better than the rest,
Friday night, I‘d never forget you.
Said you couldn’t see yourself
with a guy like me,
but you keep on coming back
when life gets trying.
I am not the doctor type, we fly,
can’t make you a rich wife,
but we both now I’m the one
who lets you enjoy life.
First drink…glowing eyes,
on the…floor we fly,
it works…like a charm,
you’ll sleep…in my arms.
Girl put on your best,
I’m coming to get you,
better than the rest,
Friday night, I‘d never forget you.
It is because the power of separation from ones "Ground Of Being" that compulsion to return to the source is so powerful.
Jesus is a name and a faceless face who offers a return to that sense of being that The Face of Love is, in fact, Your Face.
and in "American Beauty" - the mellifluous geometry of a single sheet of paper dancing with the invisible spirit of mother Earth is just as powerful a sign of her rediscovered truth but:
'Love doesn't last'
we are told by Lucifer in "Invasion of the body snatchers" but it is the progenitor of our separated-material-being and is therefore; The Only Thing That Does!
I don't know life at all, my friend -
the answer still blows in the wind.
But I know the walrus is named Paul,
and autumn leaves must fall.
[Verse 1]
Dance near the silver bridge
Drop a penny in
A penny for your thoughts
You smiled like the end of the world
?
[Pre-Chorus – Extended]
You wrap your soul around me
Like silk that strangles soft
Every heartbeat borrowed
Suddenly, I’m suffocating
?
[Chorus – Haunting, Echoed Vocals]
I can’t breathe
I can’t breathe anymore
Your kiss was a poison pill
Your lipstick inked like blood
You swore it was medicine
But it dragged me under
?
[Verse 2]
I lie on the floor
I die in your bed
Do I jump in the river
Or hang on for dear life?
You lit the match,
Then kissed the fire
Your love is a torture
Your caress, a shame
A knife that dips
In
And
Out
And calls it love
No scars they can see
But I’m bleeding within
I can’t breathe
I can’t breathe anymore
Your kiss was a poison pill
Your lipstick inked like blood
You swore it was medicine
But it dragged me under
Now I’m gasping
Just to feel the floor
?
A penny falls again
No bridge can bring me back
No wish can stitch me whole
The river keeps her secrets
?
Choose to live
When darkness falls upon you,
and, you can't see the light
Look to the maker of the stars,
to show the way
Sometimes the pain of heart is,
too much to bear....
Life can be beautiful...
despite the pain.
Chorus
Choose to live...
even when it seems
the whole world's against you
Choose to live...
forget about the pain
they've caused you
Choose to live...
Remember your life's
a gift from God,
and you don't have the right
to take it!
You may live in a mansion,
or a... cardboard shack
Life can be beautiful
either way
Affliction may bring you sorrow,
but... that's o.k
Look to tomorrow's sun to
shine a better day
Chorus
Choose to live...
even when it seems
the whole world's against you
Choose to live...
forget about the pain
they've caused you
Choose to live...
Remember your life's
a gift from God...
and you don't have the right
to take it!
Bridge
Everyone is beautiful,
in their own way...
look inside yourself
to find YOUR special gift!
Repeat chorus and fade

Revised July 28 with music and vocals
There’s a new sound in the air
Can you hear it?
It’s a song we all can share
Will you sing it?
It’s a lyric full of hope
Words of peace to help us cope
There’s a new sound in the air
Can you hear it?
There’s a new vibe all around
Can you feel it?
If you’re lost you can be found
Will you trust it?
It’s a safe line of defense
from harsh words that cause offense
There’s a new vibe in the air
Can you feel it?
I’m a dreamer can’t you see?
We are poets you and me
Can we sing in unity?
Let the music set us free
There’s a new sun in the sky
Can you see it?
Free your mind and don’t ask why
Just accept it
Let the rainbow guide us home
Life is dull in monochrome
There’s a new sun in the sky
Can’t you see it?
I’m a dreamer can’t you see?
We are poets you and me
Can we sing in unity?
Let the music set us free
We’re all dreamers you and me (yeah)
And we share one family tree (yeah)
Let’s agree to disagree (yeah)
Sing in perfect harmony (yeah)
Remind me, Lord – that You have heard, whatever comes, whatever this life brings, I know the King who writes His light over the spirit… gently revealing, a love that never leaves, a hope that always brings assurance of the King of Kings.
Let His blessings flow,
A river to sooth my soul
Lifting my heart, ‘tis all aglow
A spirit who’ll surely console
Let His blessings enthuse,
A joy who sparks the moon
Painting hearts in a gentle muse
Love that sing’s the sweetest tune
Let His blessings hush fears,
Writing the heart in affection
A life lived for Him, through the years
Remembering His love is perfection
Let His blessing still the shadows,
Caressing the spirit in a song
Revealing the One who once arose
To silence each tear, right all wrong
Let His blessings exalt
A kindness that comes from the heart
Writing the world without fault
His blessings of love will never depart
Let His blessings restore,
Every heart, every soul, everything
So that, this Jesus I adore
Is glorified – He’s my soul’s KING!
Another long night with the Succubus
Too long you have haunted my dreams
A temptress, a shrew, a wraith through and through
That wallows in glee at my screams
Your fiery gaze will blind vision
Your silent approach will consume me
Then flaunt with a grin a body of sin
Flames of desire to bind and entomb me
That kind of passion imprisons my soul
But unreluctantly cuts like a knife
Should have known all along your Succubus song
Would serenade me the rest of my life
Without her, life is like a song without notes in the breeze of time,
I dream dreams that shine in someone else's eyes, stars seeking their sky,
She was perfect, like a divine painting in the colors of sunset,
I, just a fleeting moment, a rustle of leaves in the wind, timeless.
It wasn't her fault, no shadow of sin in her gaze,
I, the unspoken example, the story without a page in the book of time,
She passed through me like a sacred prayer leaving light,
I remained like an unfinished amen, an echo in the evening silence.
I remember her smile, a sun over fields of desires,
I, a mere spectator, an unfulfilled dreamer watching from afar,
She, a universe of light and grace, I the shadow of time,
A dream without place, an unspoken word, a closed chapter.
Yet, in the melancholy of loss, there is a unique beauty,
I was a witness to a miracle, eternity in her eyes,
Maybe I'll find the courage to write our story now,
About light and shadow, dreams and realities, an unfinished amen.
Have mercy on me, Lord, for my weakness.
Have mercy on me, Lord, for my sins.
Have mercy on me, Lord, for my failures.
Help me never sin again.
You, Lord, are the Way that I must follow.
And the Truth that leads ever me on.
You, Lord, are the Life that fills my being.
In Your light my fear is gone.
You, Lord, are the Way that leads to heaven.
And the only Truth that fills my mind.
You, Lord, are the Life that I aspire to.
In Your love I am entwined.
You, Lord, are the Way I should be going.
And the Truth that I know I must learn.
You, Lord, are the Life I must give freely
To Your face I long to turn.
Have mercy on me, Lord. Grant me courage.
Have mercy on me, Lord. Give me grace.
Have mercy on me, Lord. Make me stronger
As I kneel before Your gaze.
Have mercy on me, Lord, for my weakness.
Have mercy on me, Lord, for my sins.
Have mercy on me, Lord, for my failures.
Help me never sin again.
