Take a Hard Look
One day goes right on into the next An example of infinity Every passing moment’s a forgotten dream Done away with easily Miscalculations are the key to knowledge Imprinted forever in mind Take a hard look at the world around you Don’t leave anything behind Look in the mirror What do you see Get a little closer Do you agree? Take a hard look and tell me what you see Live the present, prepare for the future Forget about the past Do now the things that you enjoy Don’t save the best for last…

Experience Our Life
I woke up this morning To see the sun come up Not knowing if it would come up again I watch the birds fly by As they sing their little songs And they watch me as if I was their friend “Come be with us” they called “Experience our life” But I knew that it could never be “Come take to the skies And be with us awhile You can fulfill your wildest dreams…”

Last Chance
Do you know it’s been a year It’s been too long, the time is near You’ve got to change your style and your mind Because you see it’s just a matter of time Pick up your feet and don’t be late You’ve got to set yourself up straight And then you show how you can dance And then you prove how you didn’t blow your last chance… You’re number one and you’re having fun Because you see you no longer run And you have got some credit due I never thought you’d ever pull through Prepare yourself for future tense And of the day when you don’t make sense You…

City of Illusions
An infinite river, an infinite sky Disrupted pictures in my eye I look around and all I see Are things that I know cannot be In this town, strange things appear That confuse and delight my sense of fear In this city of illusions Do not believe the strange delusions The city of illusions Will take you by surprise Do not believe your eyes… Take a look behind the door See what this world has in store You see a man who’s got four eyes Is it that your mind can lie? You see what seems to be a fly It’s ten feet long and five feet hight Turn around…

Countless Reminders
Mistakes made in the past Bring scars to the present Tormented by immature reasoning You struggle to start anew With spirits high You take on impossible challenges To erase the permanent marks… But wait They’re not ready yet To have to stop that constant habit And accept the change Present-day innocence goes unnoticed Translated into so much more By those cold and heartless… Strong-willed, you prove yourself to them And deep inside they see But neglect to show… Openly the waters are calm But secretly the storm still rages And will always remain forever Now gradually they all fade And new ones shine bright in your eyes, Unaware of experiences…

The Hourglass
Oh the sound of sands Falling through the hands Of time Come take me away Give me hope and save My life For when the hourglass runs dry The time will come to say goodbye And they will come to take me away Just a few more laughs Is all that I ask Of you It tears me apart But I give my heart To you Come to me and say goodbye For when the hourglass runs dry They will come…

I The End
Their world was torn asunder And there’s no more song or dance But a few had escaped their fate To live out a second chance The departure had been pre-arranged For this eternal flight They followed closely a distant star — An ever-guiding light…

II The Voyage
Time was all that they had left…
-
III Pilgrims
Their voyage had been slow And they floated through the air They were so close yet far away And beginning not to care They soon thereafter found themselves On a warm, climatic place No more dull and lonesome hours Spent in grueling space They set foot on their new found land Gave it a fitting name They sowed it full of useful crops And turned the wildlife tame Now these pilgrims from another world Had established a new home They charted it from east to west And divided it into zones…

IV The New World
“Everything we need is here We can live without doubt or fear Do away with wrath and tears “We’ve discovered a brave new world Let the banners be unfurled” This paragon of living Gave birth to Love and Giving Everyone was satisfied With all their lives so unified They all lived in harmony Danced and sang triumphantly All together and free The sky was blue with cheer and love As their God watched from above They worked and played in open fields And traded samples of their yields Gorged themselves at every meal Life on Earth was so ideal They worshiped trees and hills afar Gave pleasant names to all…
