My Lyrics
Livin' in the moment/ Waitin' on a day/ hangin' out in limbo/ Dreamin' bout my getaway
Love’s the common denominator
We can do anything, anything, anything/ When we stand together/ yeah, yeah, when we stand together
Hows about, we all get it together/ we can drown out this cloudy weather
Sing a song of hope; Sing a song of joy/ lift our voices far above the noise
Somethin's creepin' along the land / by air, sea, & shores/ danger, danger, death and anger / better lock your doors
Four little letters, bind us together, through rain & dust, it’s love…it’s love
Mysteries ahead, hills or valleys of the mind, whatever tomorrow brings, together we will find
I’ll stick by you, thru the thick n thin, the way I’ve seen you do, how you taught me to
From here, see the shorelines, mountains left to climb, from here, see tomorrow, all in time, all in time
Once waves have all been calmed I’ll hold you in my arms, like you used to do, just like, you used to do
No battle, is too long, nothing, can scare me off, I’ll be right there with you, no matter, what the cost
Together we’ll get through to the healin’ side, I’ll stand and fight with you, forever at your side
If the road gets too long, when you’ve lost your song, shadows all around, you’re on the battleground
Feel you’re in the trenches in a no man’s land; I’ll come on the double to rescue you, I’ll rescue you
When war rages inside, we’ll fight thru arm in arm, I’ll keep you from harm, arm in arm
One sunrise at a time, we’ll reach for the finish line, of another race to run, from sun to sun
Stitched together in red white blue, I’ll be there, always be there, to help you thru, it’s true…true
Tomorrows a new day, we can make it through, we can make it through, I will… I promise you
Up before dawn, by the roosters first crow, suppers on while sun’s sinking low, gotta work to grow
I think of you, in skies forever blue, there’s not a cloud to be seen, there’s a perfect peace
I’ll hold you tight, keep you close, safe and warm, we will weather every storm/ together, together
Days drag by, when you’re not here with me, yet you’re always in my heart, the beat inside of me
Look to the sky, begging for the reasons why, mountains sometimes can’t be climbed. But I’m never alone
I can hear you, in my laugh and when I speak, so many ways you’re part of me, proud to be like you
You’re the rock, the base I’m built upon, if not for you, because of you; I swear to carry on
I’ll carry you like the rings within a tree showing its long history with strong roots that hold it deep
Rainbows up above tell of your love alive in memories that only I can see you carry me
Cobalt skies sent rain to disguise many tears I’ve cried / now my heart holds them all in, knowing soon I’ll carry you
Seasons changed, so did I, said the wind to the sky, even so, I’ll carry you
You’ve always been on my side / like light brightening the night / all I do, I’ll carry you
I’ll carry you, like sunbeams thru life’s storms, your love will keep me warm, I’ll carry you
When the sky tells only gloom / your special light shines on thru / within I’ll carry you
Should the stars fall from the sky / it’ll still be you and I / Forever, I’ll carry you
Down this road wherever it goes / no matter if the wind blows / I’ll carry you
Like forever carries promise; tomorrow carries hope; faith carries us through; I’ll carry you
Like herds of wild horses carry freedom in their blood, I’ll carry you, yes, I’ll carry you
Hearts carry love, in precious memories preserved, I’ll carry you, I’ll carry you
I’ll be a warm day in January; a fresh August shower; a tender breeze carrying you thru all your tomorrows
A tangled web of twisted streets made me sad and blue/
As they took me farther, farther, farther away from you
There were monsters in my closet, you dried tears from my eyes/
You’ve been the brave hero of my story, as long as I’ve been alive
If life has you feelin’ you’re an orphan, alone and blue/
If ever it’s a complicated puzzle, I’ll be there for you
Whenever I’ve called, you’re my waterfall/
My heart overflows and you fill up my soul
When it feels a lot like mission impossible/
Anytime night or day - I’m just a call away
My love is true, yes it’s true/
Because I love you, I’ll carry you
I’ll be your strength to carry on, your hope of a new dawn/
The spirit that you need, to lift you up, off of your knees
I’m breath, if you can’t scream/ your vision, when you can’t see/
your wings, if quicksand traps you/ you know, you know, I’ll carry you
O lighthouse, in the storm; O faithful star, led me far from harm/
You put the true, in the blue; I’ll forever - always carry - I’ll carry you
The cornerstone, I’m built upon, you are the rock keeping me strong / Doesn’t matter, wherever I roam, I think of you and I’m back home
My Full Blue Moon, so wonderful and rare, lighting up the midnight air/
Beat of my heart, unaware yet always there, I’ll carry you everywhere.
Like herds of wild horses, free spirit winds carry them through
Never to be tamed, reined, caged - I will forever carry you
Like a shadow, always there in the dark of night/ a bullet ready for a gunfight/ I’m here for you/ I’ll carry you through
Anytime night or day - I’m just a call away
Through good times and rough, our love is enough
Together our love, is invincible
Unstoppable love / Unstoppable love
Did I ever tell you, you’re my hero?
No need to worry/ Put the load on me
Know I understand/ come now take my hand
I’ll carry your story/ the rest of my life
You’ve watched me fall/
You’ve helped me rise
No matter our journey /
love’s a guarantee
All we’ve been through/
How can I thank you?
My heart overflows/ we’ll never be alone
Tomorrows unknown/
We’ll never be alone
My heart overflows/
You fill up my soul
Lamp over this land/
My eyes on the sky
Upon your broad shoulders, high above everything, I saw the world much differently, Dad, you carried me.
Today I saw a starving dog carry her precious pup across blazing desert sand remembering how you carried me
No sleeps I find/ on these cold lonely nights/ Sweet thoughts of you rescue me/ You carry me along
Have I told you? I appreciated everything, all you’ve done & taught to me; because of you I’m strong
All the ways, you carried me through life, don’t you ever doubt I’ll be there; I’ll carry you, forever
I’ve been watchin’, life have its way, through it all you’ve carried me, and I’ll carry you, lifelong
Now all is said, all is done, memories remain, of all the times you carried me, carried me so long
You lifted me to place an angel on our sparkling tree, telling me my guardian angel would always care for me
Warm memories; flood my sight, to replace the foreign, bluest days, darkest nights I’ll get through, because I’ll carry you
You carried me, when I fell you picked me up, an angel watching over me, you carried me along
You carried me, I was new then you were old, so many things you taught to me, Grandpa, you carried me
I read your letters, I can almost feel your calm, praying God to always keep, me safe within His palms
You’re my road, back to who I used to be, the compass I can trust, lead me back where I belong
I dream of you, when I’m so far away, you’re my shelter when I sleep, the love that keeps me strong
Seems women always want details, details, details/
To talk about the feels, feels, feels/
It’s like walkin’ on needles, needles, needles/
Don’t wanna keep it real, real, real
Do you know the way back home? Not sure I can find it bro/
Seems I took a bad turn. How was it when you returned?
Nothin’ ever changes, she’s still stittin’ home alone,
starin’ out the picture window, prayin’ he would just come home
My hand is shaking, but I can’t forget/
The trigger is karma for all my regrets
Some secrets, you’re bound to keep all your days/ This dog, like me, carries our secrets to the grave
Some secrets, you’re bound to keep all your days/
Can’t tell the doc, wife, the law, even your priest/
Secrets can rot your guts, rip you all apart/
This dog, like me, carries our secrets to the grave
Can we talk about the real? Put the BS all aside? Why are war heroes homeless and committing suicide?
I’ll never tell her, she’ll never see, the secret me, from Charlie Company/
Clingin’ to humanity, the man I used to be, but part of me died in Charlie Company
In the heat of battle, never lost my cool; this is what soldiers do/
Ask me if I killed anyone, I’ll lie to you; this is what soldiers do
I watched the life escape him, but I’m not feelin’ proud/
I did my solemn duty, but I’m not feelin’ proud
We fought side by side, for life I’ll remain/
Brothers in arms, two of the same
A balloon popped and I hit the ground,
ready for more of the incoming sound/
To fix my mind they give bandaids,
till I’m a zombie, alone in my cave
Each life I took, part of me was lost/
Replaced by quilt of a fatal cost/
Can’t process it under enemy fire/
When I get back, gonna need a tranquilizer
I’m your hired killer;
part of the machine/
Man, of flesh and bone,
turned into wolverines/
Unsure where I’m goin’ - just know where I’ve been /
Only life dream I had was to survive, make it out alive
He was the picture on the wall, that mama made us say good morning and good night /
Through my dreams he rode a huge silver horse, he was mama’s shining knight in armor
Everything changed; the life I once knew is gone /
The world moved on without me & it all feels very wrong
Can anyone hear, my silent screaming? /
Can they see, my invisible tears? /
The fears, I bury, deep inside? /
No! I’m lying and dying, alone
It was a moment in time; not a lifetime/
Rest, unwind, there’s still much to do/
If you should fall, brother, I’ll carry you/
Finish your mission! Find your grit /
You might die, but don’t you quit
Darkness, depression, anger the guilt/
Son, I’ve swallowed all that bitter drink/
I know the crazy, gone insane full-tilt/
Wrestled shrinks, got thrown in the clink/
I know this isn’t what my ring promised you/
A hard life full of troubles and uphill battles/
I understand if you want to turn and run/
The risk I took when I picked up that gun/
We can only depend on each other/
Not to be left alone on enemy turf/
Swear if dead, dying or I can’t move/
That day we all vowed, I’ll carry you/
To a waiting hospital bed, they flew him home/
Not knowing how they’d make due/
She whispered in his soundless ears /
My love, lifeblood, “I’ll carry you”
Who do you blame when bullets don’t have names? /
How do I live with my ghosts of the slain? /
Where is the place I can hide this all away? /
Will I ever wake up and not be haunted today?
I’m pissin’ in a bottle; legs left in desert sand/
No one here to carry me three feet to the can/
Don’t feel like a soldier, don’t feel like a man/
All I can do is think, thank God I still have hands.
Jim Beam, Johnny Walker Red, Jose Cuervo/
Take me out of my head/
Don’t want to see the eyes of the dead/
Carry me, Carry me away…just one more day
They say “You’re home free! Lets go party”/
But there’s blood’s still on my hands/
Can’t erase where I have been/
Tryin’ to find who I am, in the motherland
Can’t seem to lay my guard down/
My mind’s a broken record/
Everyone’s an enemy
In memories….in memories
They tell me there’s a silver lining/
I just haven’t found it yet/
I just haven’t found it yet/
You can take a man out of the uniform/ but you/ woo, hoo, hoo woo/ can’t take the uniform/// out of the ^man…/ woo, hoo, hoo woo/// out of the ^man…/ woo, hoo, hoo woo
You can take a man out of the uniform, but you can’t take the uniform out of the man
He never talks about the war, keeps it bottled up inside/
When I watch his nightmares, good God it makes me cry/
I never had a family. The orphanage was cold. Raised to be a loner; born without a hope/
I’ve found a band of Brothers, sisters too. You mean everything to me. I’ll carry you.
Do you ever feel like a tree stripped bare by the wind
and your unsure you can ever start over again?
Where are you my brother? How did you disappear? /
Those demons inside your head drive you to despair?/
You’re missing out of action, AWOL from mankind/
I’m searching everywhere and scared of what I’ll find/
My friends say, “You’ve changed”; always try to drag me out/
They can’t understand what I’m about, since life’s been rearranged
New battle on the homefront/
Insists you live in pain/
When nothing but opiates/
Keeps you this side of sane/
A hero now just a number/
Thrown about in the press/
The VA pledged to serve you/
Has made your life a mess/
I promise, everything is gonna be alright/
I know, it may not seem like that tonight/
I know the battle and pain you embrace/
Brother, I’ve fought that devil face to face
You’re paying for our freedom/
You always got our six/
Our guardian at the gate/
Whenever & Whatever it takes
I’ll carry you through your sorrows/
Through your tour of pain/
When your life is over/
I’ll carry you to the grave
I met him at a trash can; he was burning trash for heat/
Filthy clothes, grimy face, the old crippled man really stinks/
He’s feeding half the cheeseburger to a blind dog on his lap/
How does a national hero end up a common alley tramp?
Why can’t I chase these blues away? Home at last I should be glad /
What is it that’s come over me? Seems I’m always feeling bad
Nice to meet you son, glad you stopped by / We're here for you day or night, been there and know the fight.
4th of July, independence day /
Hear the bombs bursting in air? /
Colors exploding everywhere /
The day they carried my dad away
He patted his shirt pocket, the day he went away / our picture there inside it, saying "I'll carry you each step of the way"
When daddy came home he wasn't quite right / explosions woke him every night / we wrapped him in blankets, held him down / Part of daddy never left that war torn town
Twinkle of an eye, we’re like butterflies/
To seventh heaven we flyaway
Time, slips away, yesterdays, gone today /
Time’s, always, getting in our way
Time slips away, yesterdays gone today /
Say- Hey -Hey -Find the way- Say- Hey –Hey
Wrinkle, of time unfolds; our stories, will be told /
We can face, and chase, shadows away
Forever’s in your eyes, in a land without time /
Make me, shape me; I’ll be your clay
Time, we are tweaking / for freedom, worth seeking / emerald beads of light/ leads the way
I can see cosmic skies / as I gaze in your eyes /
Time and space all slip away
Survivors, you and I / time to detoxify /
Flames inside, guides, thru the maze
Troubled ghosts, all take flight, fleeing, from your light /
A prism’s rhythm, leads us, on the pathway
More, not guaranteed, this moment, all we need /
We can, stop the clocks, set time ablaze
An instant in time, the reason, and rhyme /
The meaning we’re dreaming ablaze
Let’s slip under the covers / show me your colors
Our remember forever holiday
In love’s rhapsody / we fall, on our knees /
We’re captured and raptured away
Let’s shut the shutters, ignore all the thunder /
Let's escape, on our lover’s play date
The past old dry bones, our tomorrows unknown /
Right now, wow! That glow upon your face
Your the glowing highlight, of my, time worn life /
My rescue, and refuge, love you babe
If your precious dreams, break all apart, at the seams /
Count on me, we can flee, far away
Special moments, our reward / Time, is not our lord /
Unique minutes, we sneak, cures the aches
These moments we seized / time’s escapees /
We’re gifted and lifted, amazed!
Girl, your wings are showin’ / mmm, your halo's glowin’ /
How you move / How you groove / You blow me away
Like dancing fireflies / stars sparkle in your eyes /
Time chimes in / but I can’t stray
I used to wear pain’s badge / like it was all I had
With you, it’s true, my blues… fade away
Twinkling stars up above / like glitter of love /
No secrets between us get in our way
Dancing stars up above / the glitter of love /
Sky’s a hippy trippy neon shade
Passion strikes the night beneath neon lights /
Our dance of romance takes us away
In complete rhapsody / we’ll fall to our knees /
When light / cracks night / stealing stars away
From a loving cup, we drink / our hearts, beating in sync /
Nights delight, raptures us… away
Gentle winds toss your hair / hypnotized, I stare /
I'm captured and raptured away
Too long shackled by time / all victims of its crime
Damn the chains and reins we obeyed
Energized with light we take wing by night /
Dark ghouls and ghastly rules we slay
We’re most alive these moments we thrive /
Like desperados, shadows we slay
Let’s hold each other tight, through the night with all our might /
Watch magic galactic stars at play
You toss back your hair; your tempting scent fills the air /
I’m spellbound in your magnetic bouquet
What waits behind the veil? Hopefulness we inhale /
More colors and wonders revealed
Stars swirl around us, in mysterious oneness /
Uplifted eyes watch the sky waiting
Now fully awoken, with spirits unbroken /
From restraints and mistakes we’re freed
Like purring kittens, we found what is missin’ /
The divine designs of time
In golden moments of time we've stolen /
A treasury of memories we guard
As the clock tic-tocks, mysteries unlocked /
With vision we’ve risen with faith
By the bright light of day our past dreams give way /
To visions once hidden from sight
When light bites the night, like a meteorite /
In my arms far from harm you will be
Waiting up above are all who we love /
While we juggle n struggle to finish the race
In the silence of night, we planned out our flight /
New highs in your eyes I can soar
Come runaway with me, where we'll be free /
We can unbind and unwind the clock
Seekin' a remedy - livin’ a melody /
You’re my light through night, my escape
Too much time wasted, its sweetness never tasted /
Sweet release we seek for our souls
In the end all that matters is love we've scattered /
Beauty is our duty to spread with light
Time we are tweaking for freedom we're seeking /
Great light from above guides our way
We mend life’s heartbreaks in moments that we take /
The holes in our souls patched up
It’s times like these, we honestly do need /
Life’s worried and hurried too much
Mysteriously clear, there is nothing to fear /
Rainbows and halos, Angels among us
Universe on our side. Tears cried have been dried /
We uncover and discover secrets
Our spirits take flight, pass the shadowy night /
Going and growing, reaching new heights
Smoke rings in the breeze don’t get caught in the trees /
Rainbows and men of snow all go away
The sun, starlight and moon still shine beyond the gloom /
What’s inside overrides clouds
Freed from the darkest night - Bind yourself to the light /
by stealing it's feelings so divine
Always searching for time, true meaning and rhyme /
It came like a flash from a blast
We let go of the past, feeling freedom at last /
Never gated or weighted by fright
Found all our missing pieces, now we’re masterpieces /
We are glowing and flowing with light
Where time turns to dust, nothing ever rusts /
Love remains to reign / suddenly we change
I have one parting wish, before breath leaves my lips /
To rob time for a last kiss from you //
For love is the magic, through everything tragic, that makes living worthwhile at all
I have one parting wish, before breath leaves my lips /
To rob time for a last kiss from you
By star and moonlights gleam, like waking from a dream /
Truth still blurry, are we here or there?
Our heartbeat rights the night / our spirits reunite / in a mystical kiss of delight
Evade commotion and explosions of emotion / do not stray from the pathway of bliss
We have been awoken / our words need not be spoken /
Created of energy and light
Ol’man time can’t rule us, finding ways to break free /
Don’t let the chaos crush us, step out defiantly
Oh how we treasure precious times together /
What’s life about without reward and pleasure?
I’m not looking back, my gaze is firmly fixed /
Forever’s ahead of me, just beyond the mist
Time an enemy, to which we’ve been enslaved /
Unchained from bondage we finally escaped
Instants roll back, revealing our love story /
Time now only vapor, we shout glory glory
The orbit’s quaking, passion’s our refuge /
Love’s memories are riches worth rescue
Hungry hearts beat our drum, rockin’ the night as if we’re one /
Intertwined in tempo n rhyme, our tune in time has just begun
Thick as thieves we manage to seize our quiet victories /
Finally the champions over life’s struggles and miseries
Moody shadows of life chase us into the light /
Only to withdraw forever hiding from our sight
In you I’m rescued / Take my pain away /
You are my refuge, where I want to stay
Our days went by so fast, hardly can recall /
Valued stolen moments, we remember all
In dreamy blessings enter spirit’s territory/ in all its starry glory there you’ll find your story
We rock the nights// Embrace the days//
Our precious moments// we steal away//
Stolen treasures// yours and mine/
Save us from the hands of time
Stolen moments hints at gladness/
As we rise above the madness/
Energy of love and light/
Lead us to endless delight/
Tears// misery// pain// left beneath us/ We rise up/ We Rise up/
Together we rise up/
Once lost in wisdom's outer circle/ An epiphany in stolen moment/ the key of freedom came in focus/
Like a solar burst I was enlightened / my spirit soared / emotions heightened // nothing remains but light and love / brothers and sisters joined above
UM HA LA LA / UM HA LA LA / ANGELS SINGING UM HA LA LA /
THROUGH THE DARK WE ARE THE SPARK / UM HA LA LA / UM HA LA LA
Treading rainbows linking Earth and space as one
Madly searching what’s inside us from our battle won
Man of dirt / Angels of Light / gathered all together
Eyes opened / hope insights / stolen moments last forever
Like the dawn, gloom fades to light, as we struggle in the fight. With stolen moments, all is right.
We hunt the earth, search the stars, the moon has no regard, Where will we find what's lost in time stolen moments of the heart
