Labyrinth
Time rushes around me Life passes me by Making it hard to try But the more I move forward The more that I see What’s in store for me I can’t help but to go on And learn the questions To the answers I’ve found Show me the light And show me the way Labyrinth of life Leaving the mind mystified The soul in disarray I guess that I’m alone In finding my way Cars rushing around me People passing me by Not offering to help me try But the more I move forward The more that I see People are following me…

High Velocity
Visibility low Altitude too hight Signal fading Clouds parading Across the sky Sensibility low Goals set way too high Words repeated Dreams preceded By anxious sighs Push it to the limit Reach up for the stars Feel the sense of pride Until you realize You’ve gone too far Proceed at high velocity Use up all your energy Before you’ve even reached your dreams? Possibilities endless Success simplified Beware the speed You do not need A fast but painful ride…

The Music of Sound
Oceans roaring, carving rocks Ravaging the seaside docks As the tides ebb sandy shores You can hear the music play Stormy nights — Rain falls in harmony Keeping time — Thunder claps in rhythm Beating in furious glory Whistling wind Blows through the evergreens — Flutes of old Like something never seen Played in glorious fury A great symphony Playing melodies To all who disbelieve In their power to create Quiet nights — Silence is deafening Lost in time — Playing without worry Music never weakening Singing birds — Chorus still presiding Keeping track Of all that’s played and sung Not to be played again Weeks and months and years…

There’s Something About Paradise
The sun lies low on the western horizon Sinking beneath the sea Dark yet orange with its glowing rays As it peeks between the trees The ocean crashes on the beaches As you walk down to the bay It claws away at the shell-filled sand Searching for a place to stay There’s something about paradise That keeps a glitter in my eyes There’s something about it when the sun rises And brings it all to life Day into night in sanctuary While birds drink from the pond You can hear the water trickling Down the waterfall beyond Wish it all could last forever Just never cease to be I want…

In the Midst of a Dream
In the midst of dream We perform our little plays Each day just another scene Speaking lines that don’t seem clear Putting feeling in a phrase Each of us, are we really here? Are we just in the midst of a dream Are we really what we feel Sometimes in the midst of a dream Everything appears to be real Shall we one day disappear All of us just not exist Because of someone’s sudden fear Why worry what your next step will be For when the time comes to resist We will all fade so easily Creative ideas With no apparent fate Visions of someone Truly filled with hate…

Ordinary Man
Sometimes I wonder how much there is to know Should I disturb the creek or just let it flow I’ve spent too much time on foreign land I must learn to be an ordinary man Times have changed quite a bit and so have I I think that I will stop trying to learn how to fly Give me time and if I can I will try to be an ordinary man Being rich won’t give you happiness You’ll find that as a person you are much less I think it’s time I make a stand And for myself become an ordinary man

Time Out
We all know what it’s like to be free Every man knows what he wants to be And if you look hard enough you’ll find what you want And maybe even something that you need You wake up in the morning to find That someone’s left you, left you behind Don’t get discouraged, you’ll get back your strength All it takes is a little bit of time Now that you’ve got your final time alone Don’t be so wasteful, and let it all be blown Take your time and think it out Be careful not to unravel what you’ve sewn Dream yourself through the Milky Way And if you wish…

Wise Old Man
A wise old man from another age Told me of passion, fear and rage He gave advice, I lent my ear In my head he seems so near It all seems so long ago To me his life he did bestow Given this I must survive To keep alive his soul mind Wise old man Where are you now Wise old man Don’t let me down I know you’re here Rise up from the sands Come help me please My dear old man This wise old man has taught me well Upon his wisdom I will dwell I dropped my weapons — sheath and sword To mend my Heart and…

Dream and Dream Again
There’s no more time To do what you like There’s too much to be done And too much to be said There’s no more sense To be made of this So believe me please, it’s true There’s nothing you can do Dream and dream again Of the way you want it to be Of the things you want to see Dream and dream again Someday you’ll be alone In a place you dreamed about Only dreams — no more pretend Good luck! I hope you make it! Dream and dream again You can’t change, I fear Fate will always be there Especially in the end…

That’s Life
That’s life That’s the way that it goes You look and search But nobody knows The things that you know How will you ever know If what you feel is right You squirm and struggle And put up a fight With anything in sight So live it up Enjoy life at its high ‘Cause it won’t change No matter how hard you try… That’s life!
