FLOOD OR FIRE
How in the world
are we second guessing fortune
How can we continue
with threats for our own torture
On our way
an old story keeps returning
About life without
respect and everything is burning
Never to have to say
I let you down
I’m on the job
I want you around
Our regret. will be to argue
Our regret won’t be nostalgic
Now's the time if not together
Our world to be tragic.
Now we are in this fog
of where will the shore be
As the waters rise
must fight the flood before me.
GOOD FRIEND
I sympathise with hurting hearts
How it aches without a drop
Sitting, waiting for another train to come
Wondering if it missed their stop.
Above the forest where it is clear
Where sense is in everything, so sheer
High, sanctified and settled down
And how it is with a good friend.
How can someone new compare
to all the memories been shared
Experiences that were never topped
Though early on we all get scared.
SIRENS
Had my sights set
for the world of some,
I had known
that day might almost come
We're supposed to necessarily have fun,
although not always until we're done.
Higher than
the sirens'
calling we're bound
There's no chance
to resist,
I love the sound.
'Hope' the 'light' was
guiding all the time
Carrying through
not just in the prime
There was darkness, there was doubt
Wondering when those wings would ever sprout.
I LIVE
I'll set fire to fingers
until they ache,
I'll sit before them
like the songs they will make
A reason to exist
is giving music birth
In some holiday that
may be sad or have mirth.
I live to sail away
to set you down some place.
I live, I live,
I live, you saved me
When left forlorn and down
Resurrected now.
I have set fire to ideas
and idle states
Made a course to find the source
that celebrates our fates.
THEIR SONG
I left some troubles
and now I'm moving on
There were some people
that did me wrong.
I tried to love them all
but they would not change
There was some good in there
until it was too strained.
I gave all that I could take
now I've got it all after all.
The years have been filled
with world's that have failed
With loves that were made
and those that have paled
Often not what I had willed
but my love was never afraid
It hurts sometimes
without regret
But this is all of mine
to not forget.
FIRST NATION
FIRST NATION
Seized and struck down Done without a frown Our idea of life so foreign Peace of theirs slow Didn't see the glow When we set down in their garden.
Until spared They have existed for all time Can't worship our tower And for so long Ignored like some tiny island They will not lose their power. How can it take much longer to realise this culture is stronger
With no need for ownership, from the cup of love they sip
With hundreds of languages, they've been trading over the ages
And can show the path as sages, before there's nothing left to acquit.
HER HYMN
I expect the artisan of all that’s broken now Has projected there is another way out Regards this as sinful Allows us how to see While we strive to be.
Oh is this in the plan? We’ll accept the choice that’s handed down
Or is it until you show us how? HER: She says there must be love and there must be a marriage. HIM: Desire in the design Can it be disparaged. HER: Mixed up and compromised Can’t see a flame that’s in the eyes. HIM: Not to stray but should one shy With an heavenly alibi?
CUBA
Horse and cart, Mercedes Benz, Music plays and never ends Spirit in glass as pure as the people The square of art has no steeple Freedom fight was fought For the right of free thought Everywhere is ice cream The smiling people beam Billboards celebrate Rebellion’s successful fate Gamblers, drugs are gone Next door it won’t be long Decayed spoils of greed are left Found like a lost pirates chest Space age cars from the past Glide around, inside new parts The dance of life unstoppable The love of man unstoppable Food there may be none to spare Children playing don’t seem to care The hungry world outside invites With glory always in its sights A simple love at home is best This life is proof to stand that test.
LUCIFER WAITS
Whether they're stupid or not in the know It's no excuse, there's a place they will go Everyone knows what's right or wrong Can't hide themselves from where they belong. You know they're going to hell! Killing or maiming the poor innocent Know where their eternity will be spent Love is the only reason to fight Not sensorial pleasures in the night. You know they're going to hell!
Money and power cannot satisfy Hunger for existence before they die
Only self-regard can be their toast Winners in the end are those with the most. You know they're going to hell!
WE ALL
Life can be harvesting Another day and night Searching so far at times that Home is lost from sight And living on the edge is Where one can find a care A beacon way out there That sends a light We've had some arguments Tradition at great expense These are extraordinary times To be shared We know its change we need To make the world be fair. We all can love the world We all can share the love.
