Wishing it all
Posted on | February 4, 2007 | No Comments
sitting in the middle of the room
i’m thinking the door will open up again
thinking that tomorrow will be real soon
how i remember that one crazy night
and wishing for it all to just come back
slow down your way, keep your own way
just let me reach out for you
surely there can be so much more to say
if you just let me reach out to you
i know i can come through i know it will all come due
so… lay down next to me and feel this beat
the dreaming of my heart is not yet complete
just lay down next to me, let this day go by
give us another day and let the tears ask us why
how can it be right to see the distance in your eye
don’t give me the reason, just let it whisper away
step aside from all these lies, just give up all these ties
oh who can stand this anyway, who wants to feel this way
just pause the world won’t you please
its time to step out from all this disease
i’m choosing where i will land
i’m choosing who holds my keys
and wishing it will all come back
so… lay down next to me and feel this beat
the dreaming of my heart is not yet complete
just lay down next to me, just let this day go by
give us another day and let the tears ask us why
no more sleeping at night, not in this bed
i’m ready to rest and have a place for my head
can’t it all just slowly slip into the night
no more now, no more cloudy sight
no more cloudy sight
so… i will lay down and feel this beat
let the dreaming of my heart take a final seat
i will leave a place next to me and let this day go by
take another day and let all the tears just ask us why

Changes and Challenges
Posted on | February 1, 2007 | No Comments
Every day there are changes and challenges to deal with, some positive, some negative, some impactful and meaningful on your existence, others are little annoyances that can be flicked off with the brush of a hand or s wink and a smile…
Life, love, work, relationships, health… it all takes time and effort and you get back what you put in… and in some cases, no matter how much you put in, things just dont work…
They sometimes just don’t work out.
This is okay too, learn, grow, adapt, overcome, modify and forge ahead.
If you dont, you stop breathing and might miss something
New Shoes
Posted on | January 31, 2007 | No Comments
Woke up cold one tuesday,
i’m looking tired and feeling quite sick,
i felt like there was something missing in my day to day life,
so i quickly opened the wardrobe,
pulled out some jeans and a T-Shirt that seemed clean,
topped it off with a pair of old shoes,
that were ripped around the seams,
and i thought these shoes just don’t suit me.
Hey, I put some new shoes on,
and suddenly everything is right,
I said, hey, I put some new shoes on and everybody’s smiling,
it so inviting,
Oh, short on money,
but long on time,
slowly strolling in the sweet sunshine,
and i’m running late,
and i dont need an excuse,
’cause i’m wearing my brand new shoes.
Woke up late one thursday,
and i’m seeing stars as i’m rubbing my eyes,
and i felt like there were two days missing,
as i focused all the time,
and i made my way to the kitchen,
but i had to stop from the shock of what i found,
a room full of all my friends dancing round and round,
and i thought hello new shoes,
byebye them blues.
Take me wondering through these streets,
where bright lights and angels meet,
stone to stone they take me on,
im walking to the break of dawn

In My Dreams
Posted on | January 22, 2007 | No Comments
if you could just look down upon my face
and see the world through my eyes
if you could just use your grace
would you see oh so many lies
as I look up into the sky
I hope with eyes closed and all my might
that you would see my shadow of doubt
that you will see the place i go and cry
and stop me from living in this plight
my lungs fill as i scream and shout
where all my dreams fall
and lay at your feet
if you stepped into my place
could you please just look at my soul
and if you could just lend me your space
would you please just see me as whole
i would walk the way of right
and my shadow will not follow
my eyes will finally have the sight
to stand up and hold this fight
what would happen to me
if i were to just let go for awhile
would i truly and finally see
what must become of only me
who is this man who hides in the dark
i do not want live so barren and stark
oh help me crumble down so many walls
no longer can i stumble through these shallow halls
in my dreams i am grasping ever so tightly
into the light and begging for a chance
i am holding my breath and stepping ever so lightly
just so you will join me in this our final dance…

Torn
Posted on | January 17, 2007 | No Comments
Tug and pull
Oh… your pulling on me
Tug and pull
I can’t plainly see
Oh… why just cant it be
I’m Feeling this strain, oh I’m feeling this pain
Bending over backwards
Leaning side to side
Oh how it hurts me inside, cause it hurts me so bad
Your bringing me down, just letting me slide
I wish I knew, just what I had…
Well, I’m torn
Just torn Into pieces
and left to blow away
oh how I am torn
Really nothing left to say…
Just torn
I look into this place
I so hope to find
The candle of the night
Oh won’t you be my flame
Oh I need to see your light
I take all the blame
If you just lend me your grace
Cause I am torn
Torn into pieces
Just scattered ‘cross the sky
Oh how I am torn
Nothing left to try
I’m just torn
Torn, torn, torn…
