Daydreaming
Where was I when you were talking
out loud
About all these things you're telling me now
Was I daydreaming then
Am I daydreaming now
It's hard to make sense of so much at once
I feel like I'm drowning
Like
I'm spinning down some deep dark hole
That I'll never
climb out of
These things take time I know to work themselves through
If I could make it right now, what would I do
Once I was alone then out of the blue
I
found you
It's hard to believe the distance that's grown
I
feel like we're falling
In different directions, into
seperate worlds
Where the past gets no mention
Start It With Yourself
So take a stand, take a stand
Just don't stand there too long
Someone
will come and with a push and a shove
Knock you back
to where you started from
You got to start it with yourself
When it's time to get the job done
So speak your mind, speak your
mind
Just don't preach it too long
Someone will come and with a push and a shove
Shout you back to where you started from
You got to start it with yourself
When
it's time to get the job done
Every
Man
the
black robed unknown, the lost in the crowd
the left and the wrong, the freaks
and the clowns
the high and the mighty with their boots on the ground
the washed up, washed out, the shamed and the proud
but
every man for good or bad
will do as they will...
the brave and just crazy, the cruel and the kind
the late
and the great, the standing in line
the schooled and the fooled, the plain
out of their minds
the free at last, and the stripped of their rights
but every man for good or bad
will do as they will...
the stranded and branded and just barely alive
the
overwhelmed and condemned and just along for the ride
the masters of destiny
and charters of signs
politicians, money men, and wasters of time
but every man for good or bad
will do as they will...
the Christian crusaders, the muslims and jews
the
righteous and fallen, and minds with no clue
the prophets, and know-it-alls
with something to prove
the dreamers, and schemers with nothing to lose
but every man for good or bad
will do as they will...
Life Just Happens
life took my childhood, taught
me to be more
pleasing towards people pounding on my door
peddling their wares and their meaningless wisdoms
how
to ease and make sense of this life that i'm living
life just happens...it
moves, then it moves on
days become blurred, years - memories
ideas lead to reasons always subject to changing
there
seems no end to what it is that i'm finding
there's more going on here than
I ever imagined
life just happens...it moves, then it moves on
nothing's ever as far nor as near as it seems
life
can be hard when you've promises to keep
so laugh when you can, and cry if
you must...
they say time is money, my dreaming a luxury
I can ill afford so I better get going
they'd have
me believe it's all about winning and losing
seizing the reins and steering
life to my choosing
life just happens...it moves, then it moves on...
Looking
we choose what is real with our
hearts and our minds
sift through the input, through all that we find
follow directions, imperceivable lines
to the code
we invented, all subtlety and signs
looking for that one thing
a little love, a little happiness, a little peace of mind...
Waxing Nostolgic
remember as kids, oh the miles we'd drive
with nowhere to go and nothing to find
but the gas
was cheap, and wasting time had become
easily affordable and hastily done
it was just you and me, and we were suddenly free
to
plan and to dream how perfect our lives would be
then you went out one day
and never came back
I sat there awhile thinking my clock had gone bad
but hours became days, days turned to years
now me
and my hopes have cried our last tear...
i'm not the easiest man to get along
with at times
I've never let anyone completely inside
I've always held back just a bit for myself
I don't
know why, and I know it's no help
and it did us no good you looked at your
life the same way
your cards held close, hesitant which one to play
then I went out one day and never went back
I walked
for awhile thinking my directions were bad
the hours became days, the days
turned to years
now me and my past have cried our last tear...
With You
I pledge allegiance to no one
no man. no flag, no country, no faith
I am only trying
to live my life day to day
as words just drone into meaningless sounds
at least I can talk to you
you can be who you see
in your mind
I can be who you keep in your heart
we can be a light in the dark
even when things are falling
apart
war over land, war over thought
at
least I know where I stand with you
let the world spin off it's axis
what can any of us do
ideologies search for their
balance
while you and I search for the truth
people all going their separate ways
at least I can be with
you...
Snow
and it just snows and snows
begging the question
where do I need to go?
and it just snows and snows
begging the answer
i'd rather stay at home
spend all my time with you...
All is Love
voice a thought then let it go
give the world a glimpse
of what you see inside your
mind
that helps you to make sense
of
this up, then down, and crazy life
brave the dark and shed a light
voice a thought then let it go
is there somewhere
left that we can go
where all is love and love is all...
dream a dream then let it shine
give the world a
taste
of what you see when you close your eyes
in that moment you fall awake
no you, no me, no us, no them
no one loses, no one wins
dream a dream then let
it shine
is there somewhere left that we can go
where all is love and love is all
where people feel and want
to grow
and take the time to get to know
the
people that they meet along the way...
Walk the Fence
You say one thing, then something
else
which is true, which is not, am I supposed to guess
What if at the end of the day it makes no sense
no wonder I feel I'm in this all by myself
What am I to think of someone content
to
just walk the fence
All the things we try to protect get taken away
what little time we get we can only waste
trying
to save face
Think back on another time, do you remember when
we talked through the night 'til every thought was spent
but that was then
When did you become so content to just walk the fence
You're
one way one day, then you're someone else
where it begins
and ends is getting hard to tell
when I say what's in
my mind you say "oh well"
no wonder I feel
I'm in this all by myself
What am I to think of someone
content
to just walk the fence
