So many buttons now in this world, we don’t even need a pencil anymore.
In this wilderness of wires and signals where is the real world that we used to know.
In its day the pen and paper carried the greatest thoughts of all man.
Now I see my old guitar standing in the corner and it calls out.
The only real expression left to make in this world.
A sound on a wave.
It was here long before the pen and the papers, the buttons and the switches.
I don’t know why I did not see it sooner.
All the effort to speak a truth unspoken,
taken so many lives and left them broken.
Burn that energy to make a sound
that takes your feelings for a flight.
Sacred Breath
The world is coming up around you.
You don’t really see how sacred
Each moment you live
Each breath you take
This life is a wonder around you
From the second you awake
Children
I remember when mom was beautiful and daddy was just as mean.
He beat her with a chair in the kitchen on Christmas eve.
Me and my baby brother, we got right in the way.
We said daddy your not gonna beat on mommy no more today.
Strength
I had no strength, but I was so strong.
I was not blind, but I was wrong.
I could not see what’s come to pass
and now the wind has captured me.
When I was young and life was long
I had so much time to carry on.
I did not think what I might be.
I walked right past the best of me.
Now I watch the sunrise everyday.
I see all the people on their way.
I know your out there lost as me.
You got to catch the wind,
catch the breeze.
Poison
Now it’s the poison that keeps me alive.
They tried to kill me but I don’t die.
It’s like someone has some kind of plan.
I don’t know just who I am.
Sunrise burning through the day.
The sea brings tunes in on the waves.
I dream of sunshine on the bay
And my love smiling once again.
Famous
I’LL be famous when I’m gone.
Just you wait and see.
I feel it in my bones.
There is a tune inside of me.
A little touch of my hand and
Magic falls from the string.
A couple notes on the wind.
Send a message on the breeze.
Horizion
I see a tiny flicker of light, on the horizion.
The ocean seems angry tonight,
stormy season.
Dark clouds filling the sky,
for no reason.
My brothers didn’t come home tonight,
maybe never.
The planet can’t take any more like the horizion.
We take a step through the door and were alone now.
All the wonders and wisdom of man we control now.
It all fits right in the palm of your hand,
your so clever.
Time Train
Time is such and amazing thing.
It runs like a train on a track and it never goes back.
We race with it and always lose.
You can never catch it, and you can’t even choose, the way it will move.
Traffic
Once again I can see the sky.
A simple thing and the clouds drifting by.
It means so much to the feeling inside.
I don’t know why.
My heart flies free as the traffic flies by.
Prelude
I hear it distant in the wind.
That old tune it plays again.
Don’t know why it never ends.
I hear it calling me again.
I am a gypsy on the fly.
Dont’t know why I do not die.
I’ll be your hero once again.
I just keep playing for the wind.
I hear it floating in the wind.
My whole world changes again.
Don’t know why it does not end.
I just keep playing for the wind
Just give me one more chance to play.
I know I’ve wasted many days.
I’ve been lost out in the rain.
Please believe me I have changed.
Wind and rain plays tunes for me.
Rain washes this world so clean.
Gives me one more chance to dream.
Bring those good times back to me.
For the wind I play my tunes.
Then the sea it playes for me.
When the sky opens deep blue.
Then my spirit flying free.
