This vision is revealed in vivid dreams/ I recognize each word and breath between
There's a vision living under my unseen/ I recognize each word and breath between
It's more than blood in these heady times/ That flows from Creator between the lines
I feel the calling in my veins/ The pulse of the ancestors to reclaim
The wise ones speak to me from ages past/ with messages for a future meant to last
I'm just one link in this long chain/ How can I help the words remain
By word of mouth the legends have survived/ So I might heed the call to keep alive
I feel the pulse behind the sound/ It leads me while I'm here above the ground
From the heights of Turtle Island/ We call for all to hear/ With messages of healing/ Before they disappear
This flight is softly landing/ to where I now belong/ the altar of love I'm worthy of/ these words will make us strong
Headed for the stars/ where mysteries unfold/ My own kind of adventure/ A new story being told....
There's no need for regrets/ There's no need to settle for less/ some words bite/ some words heal when chosen to express...
A change is in the air, a feeling oh so rare but oh so right
Delivery, will set me free/ will the winds of change see true love taking flight
Forgetting you, listening to the whispering wind can guide me to the light
My love letter/ is starting out to be just what I need/ word by word, line by line/ All I had to do was dig deep down and plant a seed
You're worthy without some other point of view
For reaffirming what I always knew
No longer a lifetime sentence/ I’ll escape with all my dreams
Each word a revelation, each line a lesson learned
This time it's addressed to me, I'm my own best company
Been contemplating what's done is done/ From here on in, I might be the one
Our hearts lie crumpled on the cutting room floor/ time to rewrite this epic 'cause there's gotta be more
Nothing's ever black and white, it's time to start again
Love letters are best when shared/ in melodies of compassion, when the music cares
That four letter word's gettin' better/ Each of 'em pleased with what I've achieved/ I'm a love go-getter
Love letters, written in sand/ Lovely to behold until they slip from your hand
When I write My Love Letter/ each letter stares back at me/ What have I got to offer if not the best I can be
Each letter flows together, uniting hand in hand/ Love rushes like a river, towards the promised land
The space between the letters/ Hangs on every word/ Love will hold a place for you/ where every dream is heard
My words are flowing like they never did before/ in the silence of my truth that I can't hide from anymore
If all the rest were crazy, I guess I'm crazy too
you'll always be a citizen of my heart
On our best behavior, love was new/ but if you hold your breath too long you'll become blue
What was our lovin' good for, if not a song
Gettin' to THE BOTTOM OF THIS, this bottomless pit, once and for all
If history's good for something/ It's to learn a thing or two/ Chart a new course/ with love as the source/ To shine through me and you
Let's greet the new horizon / The past is done and gone
Let's greet the new horizon / The past is done and gone / Wash away our sorrow / Together movin' on
Let's welcome every vision/ woven into song/ A tapestry for the ages/ Together movin' on
The dawning of a brand new world is just around the bend/ Sunlight kisses salty tears of joy and hope again
A big reveal is comin' soon/ each facet shining through
Each stained heart is now sustained/ beating to brand new drum
Senses are at high alert/ with changes in the air
This world is a great big theater/ where the seen and unseen play
Every possibility/ each tender seed we sew
Let's greet the new horizon / The past is done and gone / Wash away our sorrow / Together movin' on
Glancing back at my reckless past/ for an escape route just in case
Forget-me-nots were planted there/ in this familiar place
Did I ever say I'm sorry/ did I ever right my wrongs/ It's too late, I can only sing/ Unforgiven songs
Did I ever say I'm sorry/ did I ever right my wrongs/ sorry to say I only/ sing unforgiven songs
Like torn up pages/ of history/ the unforgiven can't relive/ what never was meant to be
Is this purgatory/ is she in a better place/ when no longer unforgiven/ will we once again embrace
The wild respect their kind/ not this unforgiven fool/ can't wait till it's our time/ to meet back in earthly school
Can she wait up for me/ this unforgiven fool/
Can we just start over again/ back in earthly school
So near and yet so far/ the vision melts away
This unforgiven man/ must wait another day
I’m far from understanding/ this constant déjà vu
But I’ll continue hoping/ one day you’ll pull me through
I reach, but you fade away/ illusions always do
And replay for eternity/ unless you pull me through
Once it all it takes for one deserving of the best/ Until I'm given one last chance, this broken man won't rest
From barren land to promised land/ the one I vowed to keep
If only I can find my way/ from a hole I dug too deep
A taste from those lips of yours / could heal this desert thirst
And lead me to the promised land/ if I don’t perish first
This desert keeps me hidden/ but I can’t escape myself/
Living with the burden/ of the sorry hand I dealt
Your eyes can pierce my soul like these creatures of the night/
I hope to see as clearly with the coming of the light
You read my mind as clearly as a sign across the sky/
I search above for signs of hope/ for redemption by and by
('read' pronounced as in past tense)
Distance is subjective/ Even though I'm to blame/ If you're willing to meet halfway/ I promise to up my game
I languish here in exile/ better left unseen/
Picturing your beauty/ as you live your wildest dreams
Lost in the sands of time/ since it all began/ the hourglass is running out/ for an unforgiven man
I’m near the end of hope/ of any saving grace/ my unforgiven deeds/ time will not erase
I’m near the end of hope/ of any saving grace/ for unforgiven deeds/ in this godforsaken place
It’s a nasty world where nasty words, destroy even the hidden/
Tornadoes never care who’s right or unforgiven
But like a clown in a rodeo/ risking life and limb
I act as if immune to fate, in fact unforgiven
Unforgiven in the land of the livin'/ will I ever live this one down/ drunk and driven by a rear view vision/ spinning my wheels out of town
The wild ones hold a vigil, nature’s in control/tumbleweeds are churning up the vortex in my soul
Headlights swerve to miss me, since you threw me a curve
Are you really there or a mirage in the desert heat/
Am I hallucinating, am I really obsolete
Unrelenting heat gives off a sense of dread/
I’m burnin’ up inside by what’s been left unsaid
Feels like I’m burnin’ in a no man’s land/
With vultures waiting patiently for my last stand
My spirit was a torrent rushing through this land/
till it dried up at the bottom of the Rio Grande
The chorus in your heart will lift you up/ Rise to where it echoes from above/ On the edge of life’s creation where we dream
The chorus in your heart will lift you up/ Rise to where it echoes from above/ On the edge of life's creation when we dream
The chorus in your heart will lift you up/ Rise to where it echoes from above/ life has no limits when we dream
The chorus in your heart will lift you up/ rise to the occasion full of love/ Life has no limits when we dream
A chorus sung with joy can lift you up/ loud enough to hear from up above/
life has no limits when we dream
A glow becomes a fire/ stoked by a deep desire/ Belief can lift you up beyond a dream
A glow becomes a fire, born from a deep desire/
Belief can lift you up beyond a dream
You were born to rock this place/ with your one and only style and grace/
It’s your turn to lift us up/ show us how to dream
There’d never be any highs if never there was a low/
From TIMID streams to vivid dreams, there’s beauty in the ebb and flow
There’d never be any highs if never there was a low/
From fragile streams to vivid dreams, there’s beauty in the ebb and flow
re-submission:
Can you come out and play/ like you did so long ago
And joy ride the universe/ another go at the rodeo
A million voices join to lift you up/ 'cause we believe in you no matter what/ Life is always on your side so keep the dream
Like an eagle you are powerful and wise, light as a feather you will rise, sometimes life's a cloudless sky and so we dream
Love can heal a broken wing, birds of a feather we will sing/ sometimes life's a cloudless sky and so we dream
There’s a lot of things I’ve never known about you/
Therein lies the wonder when the lost parts have finally found you
Your essence is essential as the air/ Blow a kiss to the mystery, our hearts are waiting there
Can you come out and play, like you did so long ago
And joy ride the universe, another go at the rodeo
Whatever we imagine, like visions taking flight / Could fill the sky for all to see in flashing neon lights
Give yourself permission, unlock that prison cell/
You’re the one who holds the key, to bid the blues farewell
When it comes to the truth we don’t mess around in the American underground/ We’ve already won and we’re not backing down/ In the American underground
We’re clearing out the cobwebs that tried to keep us down/ In the American underground
Our powerful voices rising send a glorious sound/ From the American underground
We’re clearing out the cobwebs that tried to keep us down/ In the American underground
Mother nature’s rising with a glorious sound/ From the American underground
With elbow grease the squeaky ones will move/
with determination, will life up there improve
Some can steer and some can drive/together if we’re clever,
we’ll make it out of here alive
Stuck in a rut and sinking but if we push it through the mire/
Upwards is the only way to go, for the world that we desire
And like the garden of Eden, when an apple was the bait/
The snakes are in full force again, will we make the same mistake
By any other name the truth would smell just as sweet/
Gotta keep your wits about you, to grow beyond deceit
That strangles your perception, it could take your breath away/
and keep you in submission, to make sure that you obey
with nearly eight billion versions of reality/ who knows which has validity
"I'll die on this hill" sits fine with me/ and I'm fine with your choice to disagree
Attention spans and gasoline are short on supply/
The masses have no time to question what when and why
We need to pay attention to the plot in the play/
like Toto when he pulled the wiz’s curtain away
Every day gets more absurd/ as the powers that be twist every word
We try to speak, it's truth we seek, and crickets are the only sound
what's it gonna take to shake it all up and turn this mess around
Smarty pants say we hurtle through space half a million miles an hour/
So we’ve come a long way since the hippy folk were pushing flower power
Dylan had it all summed up a very long time ago/
So what the heck are we waiting for when more are in the know
Tesla found free energy but you kept his gift for yourselves/
Instead you keep us all amused with toys from Santa’s elves
greetings from a parallel world
Fill up your soul, feel whole again and celebrate
the future beckons, give yourself a second chance, to bend not break
Dance with me until your heart is well on the mend, and never will break again
Each day you stay is a gift to the world, fulfilling destiny,
Keep being strong like the mighty oak that lives on in memory
Those unexpected miracles that show up out of the blue, from this moment onward there’s so much to look forward to
Create your masterpiece and don't ever forget/ You're a work of art that ain't finished yet
Paint your master piece and don’t ever forget,
You’re a work of art that ain’t finished yet
Louis Armstrong was right and it still holds true today/ Let's sing those words together and the world will be okay
The sweet smell after the rain, the promise in the air/
Those who love you know there is no one who can compare
From breakable to unshakeable, is a journey worth taking on/
It's a gift only you can offer, to the world where you belong
From breakable to unshakeable, is a journey worth taking on/ growing stronger day by day, in the world where you belong
You’re like a giant puzzle, pieces scattered at my feet/
Let’s put you back together, till your picture is complete
I may not have the answers, but you know from deep within/
I’m here to guide the hope inside so healing may begin
Let me wipe away the tears that fall from the windows of your soul/
Let’s cross this bridge together, let your truth be finally told
I see you're hurting bad up there/ I'm sad it's gone this far/ take my hand let's talk about hope/ and wish upon that star
A fragile soul stands trembling as waters rage below/
As I approach him tenderly so trust and hope may grow
I'm not another stranger who ignores you like the rest/ We have a lot in common, life can be an endless test.
I may be just a stranger that ignores you like the rest
But we have a lot in common/ life can be an endless test
There's something more important than accepting such a fate/ And quality of life is what can no longer wait
Voices spin around us, a tornado’s coming through
I’ll be the calm when the storm is gone, then I’ll be hearing you
While beauty waits to reappear, for sparks to turn to flame/
Let's swing the cage doors open, let’s remember why we came
Our beauty goes unnoticed like a garden choked by weeds
We could have each others’ backs before they break just like our hearts
Is it based in fear, or is it based in love/
Only these two questions bring you answers from above
One step forward, two steps back/
What’s it gonna take for us to get on the same track
and battle with emotions that refuse to reconcile
and battle with emotions that they cannot reconcile
and parted with the things that used to make a life worth while
Each alone and stranded on some imaginary isle
It's as if a simple sign of joy has gone out of style
No sign of lipstick in a very long while
If I could help to break them free, I'd go the extra mile
we are equal though we may agree to disagree
I'll try to read between the lines of what you share with me
We're all searching for a means to an end/ Together is the only way our hearts can really mend
Each of us is longing for a little peace of mind/ You must follow your own way and take your own sweet time
Words get drowned out by the din at every turn and twist
the fortresses around us keep building brick by brick
the lost chord, sweet harmony when two hearts co-exist
the spaces echo lonliness as hearts are set adrift
The hand I long to hold I'm told is something to resist
We are jaded, tired and tainted by the onslaughts all around
A moment’s peace is monumental, nowhere to be found
We are jaded, tired and tainted by the onslaughts all around
A moment’s peace is monumental, nowhere to be found
Promises from years gone by fly high and out of sight/
We mourn the loss of shattered dreams/ we ponder fight or flight
I listen to your words I try to read between the lines
I imagine what is lurking there while telling me you’re fine
you never know what’s going on behind those tired eyes/
another one treading water here just tryin to stay alive
Might be as many colors, as there are eyes to see
And many billion versions of reality
Romance souvenirs still last/ while taking it slow so love can grow
Romance souvenirs still last/ while taking my time, you're on my mind
That affair still leaves me sentimental
Thoughts of you are warm and gentle
But now I think I'm ready to tackle/ Life after you, you got me through
Up all night till the crack of dawn/ I've seen the light, you made me stronger/ knowing you, knowing me
We have a bond but I moved beyond/ (and) I can truly say....
We have a bond but I've moved beyond/ (and) I can safely say....
We got no sleep got in too deep/ it's still funny how...
A million inside jokes/ never a dull moment passed
Gotta Love us Both for Tryin'
How Folks Change course 101
Polished up my Boots and Attitude
We're on our best behaviour when love is new/ but if you hold your breath too long you'll become blue
I'll start every morning off right, with...
I wish- you'd join my fantasy
Except- I must live on without...
Except- you're a memory I relive
except- I woke up it really was a dream, with....
The crazy world out there/ seems so far away/ This feels more real than any words could say
Something in the air/ I've never felt before/ No ordinary affair/ You're so much more/ someone so rare
Someone so rare/ got me shakin' my head/ you caught me unaware/ was it something I said
Someone so rare/ from out of the blue/ into my arms/ could this be true
I'm wrapped around/ the finger of....
Still wonder how/ I got wrapped around...
One in seven billion, who 'da figured I'd be/ in the right place and time with you next to me
You're a natural wonder, a beauty so profound/ together we have chemistry for breaking new ground
I found something in the rough and even then I knew/ we might carve a life together just me and you
Your essence is essential, an obsession so rare...
She snaps me out of my usual trance/ we both put down our phones to dance
I'm not checkin' outta here any time soon, Got a room with view, that's you by the light of the moon
Now treasuring moments one by one/ It feels as though her journey's just begun
She reaches out/ pulls love back in/ Ain't no returning to where she's been
She's got the spirit of a warrior/ stronger with the love surrounding her
Each precious moment is a gift/ She counts her blessings in this journey
When every moment is a gift/ she counts her blessings in this journey
She knows each moment is a gift/ She counts her blessings in this journey
With every breath an ember glows/ warms her soul because she knows.....in a wish....
There's so much beauty in the world/ not to be missed/ just to see a little bit more/ is at the top of her list
A chance to share/ with those who lack/ with all her love she'll give them back
So much to say/ in a world gone wrong/ She longs for humanity to hear her song
She keeps the faith/ holds on tight/ though she trembles in the night
Make a wish/ keep it clear/miracles can appear/ angels on earth gather 'round/ give flight to dreams you hold dear
When there's a will, there's a way/ She's got so much to say/ Angels' wings, giving flight/ To visions within sight
She's got heroes to meet/who never admit defeat/ she'll voice her plea/be all she can be
Holding trust in a bigger plan/ she vows to do all she can/ with love to share/ We'll be there
Life isn't fair for anyone/ but especially those so very young/ who dream of wonders every night/ just thankful for the rising sun
You came into this world/ full of innocence and trust/ a destiny shone from your eyes/ sparkled like gold dust
To pull this off will be an inside job/ to get up and go without being a slob
But words can ring shallow, don't take much to drown/ in a flood of emotion when the chips are down
We're all flawed specimens, but her timing is bad/ so I'll try to focus on the good times we had
But my head is now clear as I switch on the light/ 'cause I no longer care who's wrong or right
Maybe the secret is travelling light/ Unload the burden, don't have to be right
I hope to someday break her spell/ from far far away I'll wish her well
If I can excuse her from far far away/ can I say what I mean and mean what I say
So many times I fell for the bait/ This might be a case of too little too late
(2nd part of chorus): Like a stab to the heart we forever relive, over and over till we learn to forgive
We wear a disguise, stuck on what we believe / it opens one's eyes learning how to forgive
I'm giving up armour, to speed up the deal/ I'm going for forgiveness, grabbing hold of the wheel
I'm forgiving my shadow with a bouquet of flowers/ Forget-me-nots were always a favourite of ours
I'm calling a truce in this one sided war/ forgiving my shadow lying there on the floor
If I walk in your shoes/ I've got one mile to go/ Planting seeds along the way/ for forgiveness to grow
Love is the scenic route/ long but it teaches well/ there's beauty in forgiveness/ the fastest way out of hell
Won't hire expensive middle men/ there's no help from outside/ Forgiving is free and if it's meant to be/ it's for me to decide
Don't need no safecracker/ for a vault full of pride/ Forgiveness cracks open the light hidden inside
I've been holding back words she doesn't need to hear/ for crying out loud at the rear view mirror
If I summon the words she doesn't need to hear, I'll cry them out loud to the rear view mirror
As I summon the words she doesn't need to hear/ I whisper to the reflection in the rear view mirror
I'm weary of feeling what time won't erase/ ready to collapse in the waiting arms of grace
Even a hurricane could work out okay/ A chip on my shoulder needs blowing away
I'll joyride the universe/ it's a very big place/ there's room for us all with dreams to chase
A joy ride's in order/ no fixed plan/ for this open to anything convertible man
One station stop before I go/ fuel up/ humble up/ get my ducks in a row
Hold your breath too long you'll be blue/ exhale all the hurt you've been through
From here in the darkness, could patience create/ a pearl of wisdom, worth the wait
By changing the focus to what we have learned, look forward to newly found peace we have earned
The best of intentions are silently kept
in a struggle between moving on and regret
Private battles never reveal, a wound self-inflicted, refusing to heal
Sometimes the high road is awfully steep, the mind might be willing but the spirit is weak
Are back handed wishes for only the best of good luck 'cause you'll need it, a sincerity test
I've heard my share of fauxpologies, I search for clues of sincerity
Is it selfish seeking peace of mind, polishing the facets of a life I left behind
When a different kind of love starts taking over, forward never glancing past your shoulder
In the blur of all the sacrificial light years, we have travelled, we've been eaten alive
From the cores of our beings/ to the heart of the sun/ Building a life line/ Bringing hope for everyone
We rise/ Lighthouse beacons aiming high
Images flicker/ of angels by our side
Flying in formation/ Angels on our side
Like beams from a prism/ on a crystal clear night
Vision moves forward/ Dreams within sight
Shattering barriers/ Our colours take flight
Lifting the veil of darkness/ Shadows cast aside/ Revealing our radiance/ The quality of light
We hold the power/ here in the palm/ stretched up to the heavens/ grounded and strong
Paving the future/ Building bridges to the sun/ Joining hands together/ Bringing hope for everyone
We balance on moonbeams/ Hang on a star/ Warmed by the sun rays/ That bless from afar
Coming out from the dark/ Bursting with pride/ Fuel for the spark/ We all hold inside
Hearts breaking open, humanity's awoken. We rise
One little candle burning, on a window sill/ for a nation's hope returning, a promise to fulfill
Sacred feathers fan the embers/ Quiet dreams see light of day/ with the weight of burdens gone/ Voices soar in song/ Together we will build the way
Humanity is calling, hear the signal/ pulsing from far and wide/ Wave after wave of compassion/ We're riding side by side
Like the phoenix we rise/ from the ashes of pain/ with broken wings/ We'll be whole again/ The ground may crumble beneath our feet/ slowly we rise with each heartbeat
On an island of warm vibrations/ It shook the foundations of our lives/ Left to fend for ourselves with little reprieve/ Shallow promises never arrived
Mother nature is not always kind/ she can rip your dreams apart/ robbing you blind
If your fire has dwindled, you’re defeated, forlorn, these glowing embers can keep you warm
Your pain is a sputtering neon sign/ I’m bathed in your reflection/ I won’t leave you behind
My ancient hidden mysteries are rising to the surface in spite of me
A fleeting moment of deja vu/ of an innocent child when cares were few
If I summon the strength lying deep in my core, having my back could tip the odds in this tug of war
Is that light through my pinhole just a mirage, or a miracle healing for self-sabotage?
Is there someone with will, stronger than mine, who can stoke up my fire, help me to shine
If my eyes are windows, I wait for the dawn, to peer through the bars on my soul, to be warm
I'm a shadow cast through a crack in a dream, my focus is lost on a cold moonbeam
With warm salty tears, sculpting all my fears for you to see
I'm not a ghost. Hold your candle closer to see.
Some warm regards would be, the utmost pleasantry
Flicker to a flame, yeah, I do have a name
From a vantage point hidden from everyone's view/ Based on old stories of the hell we've been through
Trance breaking, wheel steering/ Lucid living, giving myself cred
Rainbow illusions fade, my prism prison has misled
Found the rainbow's end/ pot of morphine on the bend
Neon billboard detour says go your way instead
I choke on exhaust, blinded and lost/ Heavens open right on cue
Crawling away, follow the slime/ the trail of my legacy, what's it worth to you
Strings hangin' in the sky, scene of the crime/ the puppet masters come in view
Where's an ark when you need it, mirage horizon/ Antedeluvian grandeur crashing through
An accidental off ramp/ nowhere cul de sac/ scratched up skipping repeat/ a swan song gone off track
An eroded old statue tryin' to get your attention/ Tattooed scars never earned your affection
Cherubs giggle, echoes bounce off the cliffs/ I grab at their mirth, hurtle through the abyss/ House of mirrors, tunnel of shame/ at rock bottom just myself to blame
Sob story, purgatory/ Can't even say goodbye
Can't wait till I am born/ there's a new shell to be worn
Can't wait till I am born/ Can't hurt to try again
The world is blurred from inside my bubble/ Stayin' in here keeps me out of trouble
A face in the crowd, nameless unknown/ Sentenced to life, a lonesome pronoun
We're all one, just don't ring true for me/ on the wrong side of the cage for eternity
We let our participles dangle/ sentenced to life doing the solitary tango
I teeter, you totter/ we're oil and water
We jump through flaming hoops, searching for purpose/ But life ain't long, it's a short circus
Limb by limb, what have I become/ a joker's whim, cartoon conundrum
I'm a figment of my own imagination, devoid of common sense/ GMO tainted, Frankenstein creation, artificial non-intelligence
I'll drive my point home in my DeLorean/ to be revered by some future historian
I had some clout before this bout with the plague/ All the dotted line big shots say they have to reneg
My relentless bullhorn blasts across the harbour/ Abandon ship I'm headed straight for your starboard
I am a cryptic, melodramatic mystic/ Just wind me up and watch me go ballistic
I can get away with a group of crows when I'm singin'/ I'll hover, fly for cover, you've no idea what I'm flingin'
I can get away with a group of crows when I'm singin'/ I'll hover, fly for cover, you've no idea what I'm flingin'
I got nothing to hold onto/ rocking to and fro/ Titanic panic would be apropos
I’m a lil' bit rusty in social etiquette/ If I have offended, I’m not in my stride yet
If I could moon walk outta here, to some place in space/ I'd observe the mess I made since I fell from grace
A stick man drawn on a fault line with a missing link/ by a teeter toddler teetering on the brink
Propped up on a fault line, a stick man drawn/ up the butt of a scarecrow, a wanna-be Don Juan
Tin pan tin man oil can nowhere to stand / I got nowhere to be, but here I am
I'm a backhand hologram, focus fractured like a slow-mo romeo bending over backward
The epitomy of tranquility you may have surmised/ I'm just a Tasmanian devil disguised
Spinning like a Sufi as if I'm advanced/ I'm just getting dizzy with ants in my pants
I may appear to be fast on my feet/ but missteps committed I'm doomed to repeat
Forced into boxes to fit into the scheme/ this jigsaw piece is ready to scream
I stare at my watch but I can't recall why/ it's too much o'clock so why even try?
I'd like to think that my mind's in control/ who's tugging the lines at this dark fishin' hole
Wandering in fog it's a sign of the times/ Is this dress rehearsal? I've forgotten my lines
Sometimes this life has no reason or rhyme/ each moment's intention can turn on a dime
We’re gonna find a better way / The dawning of a new world starting today
We will know that we're on the right track / Lookin' out for each other with no turning back
We can find a better way / The dawning of a new world starting today
Innocent wonder must not fade/ gems in the rough are visionaries made
A bright horizon for humanity/ Finally waking up to this reality
A bright horizon for humanity/ We'll all wake up to this reality
A bright horizon for humanity/ We'll dream the new world into reality
There's gotta be a better way/ The dawning of a new world starting today
With history to guide us let's get it right, learn from the lessons with new insight
He finally came to his senses and smiled/ And exclaimed "How I love a happy child/ There's no place like home in the old north pole/ Get your butts in gear elves, let's rock and roll"
He said "click your boots three times and you'll be/ Back in the land where you're real and free"/ And as he did, he plopped back on his lawn/ No drone, no bunny, the evidence gone
In the dead of the winter the kids were sad/ No jolly old fellow to help them feel glad/ Santa asked Bunny well how did he know/ Well it happened to him a while ago
But as they spun he regressed so far back/ Not even a twinkle in dad's eye in fact/ He witnessed a world where he'd never been born/ And everyone there seemed quite forlorn
An oxygen mask dropped in front of him/ Bunny shouted 'HOLD ON' as they curved the rim/ Of a giant black hole that sucked in their craft/ Now this should be interesting, Santa laughed
With speeds to reach galaxies far, far away That humbled the specs of his antique sleigh
With memory flashes of a life before dentures/ The tooth fairy showed up to share the adventures
I'm stuck in here till you let me out/ Just enter the password to what Christmas is about
And then a hologram came into sight/ with a scene from a long forgotten night
Now that his life has purpose anew/ His anti-depressants have gone down the loo
For an impotent man, this made him feel glad/ That Santa Claus junior would call him his dad
He'd teach his successor the tricks of the trade/ and chill while downloading his newest upgrade
The three wisest elves came out of their huts/ bearing mistletoe, mandarin oranges and nuts
At first a small whimper, then a giggle inside/ prompts Santa to hurriedly open it wide
Visions of angels came trickling in/ From the urinal state they'd originally been
A tag on the top brought a tear to his eye/ he read THANKS love Virginia, then he gazed to the sky
Was it his birthday? He didn't know/ Like this mystery gift he was found in the snow
It happened one summmer, he decided to take/ a tropical vacation for his sanity's sake
The naughty or nice thing wasn't enough/ so he had to get specific if they wanted that stuff
Tha final straw occurred one day/ When graffiti appeared upon his sleigh
He's a old school guy but there's no turning back/ These wish lists could bring on a heart attack
No therapist there when the ice cap thaws/ or a lawyer to check on his sanity clause
No therapist there when the ice cap thaws/ or to check if he still has his sanity clause
The older and wiser may cause his downfall/ What if he doesn't exist at all?
Besides the holy trinity/ He was a late bloomer in the family
With actors to hold kids on their knee/ While some of them scream and some of them pee
With a giant stash of cookies and beer/ More sightings than Elvis this time of year
With a ho ho here and a ho ho there/ There's a tale of which you're unaware
Waking in a sweat embracing worlds we are between
Clouds over visions of what we might have been
This mirage might not be all that it would seem
Distance and time, share some common bond/ If I could make it easy, I'd wave some magic wand
Distance is always too far away from here/ When memories are all I have to hold dear
As the crow flies is the shortest route to take/ But so many twists and turns are all we seem to make
Hope knows no boundaries/ how far can it go
My hope has its boundaries, how far can it go
Let's break down the borders imagined or real
The light from a star/ Takes a long time to get here/ In the veil of the night/ While I stumble around
Will all I cherished be/ lost in this unopened letter
Things that used to matter
But nothing changed for the better
From the wrong story line
Like daggers cutting through
Across from the great divide
They came up against a wall
Stripped of their dignity
They silently mock my honesty
Every last bit of my soul I revealed/ in this unopened letter forever concealed
My heart and my soul was revealed/ in this unopened letter forever concealed
Here I sit preparing for the worst/ Was it all a blessing or a curse
My hands are shaking/ as I ponder how you feel/ What awaits my heart/ when your truth has been revealed
We were on our best behavior when love was new/ But if you hold your breath too long you'll become blue
All that we want is to live peacefully
Heavenly bonding here on earth
Take that higher road to understanding/ Above all, get understanding/ Heavenly bonding here on earth
Understanding- the greatest gift of all/ The heart breaks to get bigger/ Stronger with each fall
Maybe we weren't meant to be/ But one thing is for sure/ I hope to see that you and me/ Can come to understanding
Maybe getting closer, to the answers I seek, We're all in this together, the strong and the weak
Ready for revelation, bust outta this cocoon/ See things in a brand new light, change is comin' soon
The morning sunlight glistens from a tiny drop of dew, Awakening the senses, and life begins anew
Thought I was alone, but all around I see, A multitude of souls that only want to be free
Is my dream just a distant mirage/ Wishful thinking, horizon of hope
Is my dream a simple mirage in the sky/ A horizon of hope ahead
High above in wind and rain/ her bravest act was not in vain/ When lightening strikes it takes you down/ and flying as the thunder sounds
And contemplating one more try/She cast her gaze to the darkened sky.
Eventually the bruises fade/ her dream would only be delayed
She landed softly in a pile, which brought on laughter and a smile
Remembering how when she was young, a great adventure had begun
She- is longing for/ a new comfort zone/ Somehow familiar/ somehow unknown
The wind then whispered 'not just yet'/ don't do something you'll regret
But the life blood in her veins/ was stronger than the leaf's remains
But a child's laughter pierced the air/ would she be too unfair
An autumn leaf clutched in her hand/ trusting mother nature's plan
That laws would soon give way to grace/ far away from this old place
Whispers slowly became a choir/ Harmonies on fire
With misty eyes and tender heart/ She tried to focus past the dark
Promises and vows denied/ her faith had all but died
With yet another storm to pass/ would she ever get the chance at last
So she threw caution to the wind/ At the end of a fragile limb
Alas, held back by gravity, so many laws to live by
Mother nature was on her side/ Joining her for the ride
And colors unknown to humanity/ would dance in all their capacity
Somehow she knew it was easily done /Simply imagine and reach for the sun
We were on our best behavior/ love was new/ But if you hold your breath too long you'll become blue
The head chases after the heart/ Looking for a partner in crime
Throwing my heart into all that I do/ Leave no stone unturned/ like starting anew
Down time's up time/ Darkness is light/ I've been set free of this eternal night
How much faith can you have without knowing/ How much love can you risk not showing/ How much life can you dare not living/ How much more.
If I could witness, each unfolding day/ Would it satisfy, would it convince me to stay
Past my shoulder, over my brow/ on gossamer wings they echo this vow
Where all is calm here inside/ Where I am free to imagine
Moonlight beckons, the layers unfold/ Shed light on the places I've already been
Gravity demons are clever/ They know you can't recall/ How you got so stuck down there/ Since your initial fall
My optimism runs on diesel/ Hard to get started in the cold/ A frozen block of icy resolve/ And everything's on hold
