PRAY DANCE DREAM FORGIVE
W
hat's that in your head, where's it gonna lead you ?
world spinning keeping time, stop lives changing on a dime.
gulfs are growing ever wide,
whats going on with you, does it make sense inside

Emotions are as plain as the look thats on your face
to act aloof, above it all, denying those who come to call
can't cover up your venom.. with dignity,  poise and grace.
Your lips are now your canvas, but the painting there can't hide
what's going on with you, what's missing from inside

Another not tied in the rope, keep on going, don't try to cope
scale the mountain, reach the stop, keep pressing onward never stop
carry on,  make due, get by, never stop to feel, hurt or cry
what's that in your heart...can you stop the bleeding ?

Hurt flows like a river wide, all the pointless needing
mix solutions stir and swallow, the cocktail doesn't work
ignore deny and live life hollow, just blame the other jerk

Whats that at your hand ?  Five fingers that can heal you
just like footprints in the sand, someone will carry you
carry on and wonder why, or change the life you live
or take his offer and apply,
PRAY DANCE DREAM FORGIVE

Guy with a Pen
To hear others words gives me much to admire
to feel others passion leads to inspire
they all have agenda's and cause to win
but me, I'm  just a guy with a pen
a guy with nothing to make him tick
no mission statement or cause politic
a guy with very little life to spend
a guy with out compass, just a guy with a pen
A guy with a pen who is feeling quite blue
cause life hasn't turned out like he wanted it to
Who  traded his dreams for what seemed like love
but turned out to be empty promises of
Just lots of frustration and a lay now and then
So here I sit, just a guy with a pen

A guy who likes shopping for toys at walmart
a guy with a very big ache in his heart
a guy who is wondering ,if where or when
He'll ever be more than a guy with a pen
A guy with a pen, but with out any fire
A guy with no dream to urge or inspire
A guy who discovered a very good friend,
who said " I think you're more than a guy with a pen"
She  didnt say it with words or nothing like that
but with the charm of a chesire cat
she said it with something not seen in a while
she said it inside of a beautiful smile
so i'm off on this journey, and I hope it will end
with me becoming a more complete man !!!

Angel on My Shoulder
Paradise lost or paradise found, soaring o'er monutains,  lying 6 ft underground
choices that confront me as I'm getting older, grateful for the day I got an angel on my shoulder
she ain't got no harp, ain't got no wings ,but a beautiful voice and the song she sings
keeps me rocking and moving bolder. Can't do without this angel on my shoulder
Angel,
since you came my way
you've made my life a song, the melody is strong and sweet
I sing it all day long
Angel,
since you guard my path,
protecting me from harm, can't wait until the time is right
to hold you in my arms

Life has many twists and turns, winds that chill and flames that burn
chasms deep, rivers winding in the depths of hell. I'll be delivered when I see my sweet Angel
So lift me and enlighten me, encourage cheer and inspire me
all you do to make me live comes as no suprise. I can see to heaven when i look into your eyes
Angel
since you came to me, you've made a better man
I hope and pray to god each day
stay as long as you can
Angel
You have filled my day
with love and peace and right
can't wait until the time is here
when I can hold you tight

DREAM IT BE IT
Is there something that moves your heart ? make today the time to start
forge your new reality.  Be the thing you want to be
take the dream and take this song, carry it and sing along
live a life of harmony and march to your own melody
play the game to win not lose,
decide upon your path and chose
because the new reality is we can be what we want to be
IF you can dream it, you can be it
the choice is made by me and you
because we see it we can be it
and make life what we want it to
Is there something that fires your mind ? a vison for all human kind
then forge the new reality. Make earth the place it ought to be
Take ther words and make a song, play it loud and sing it strong
carefully find harmony and make a magic melody
life is made to win not lose
decide upon the path and choose
beccause the new reality we make this place what it will be
Because we dream it we can be it
choces made by you and me
show we see it and we live it
in turn they all make us free
Is there someone who wams your soul, a tender smile to make you whole ?
tell them and find reality that lasts throughout eternity
two people can make a song, sing it for a lifetime long
hearts that beat in harmony, make a heavenly melody
love is made to win not lose
decide upon the path and choose
because a new reality
starts deep inside a family
WE have dreamed and we are it
choices made by me and you
can turn our world into a heaven
where love is stong and love is true
