My Lyrics
No more writer's block, this time the plot just feels so right
Put the past behind me, future's Shining bright
and raise a glass to my brand new life...
This is the story of my brand new life...
Watch me rise above these mountains, I have barely hit my stride
Climbing like a dove on her maiden flight
How the story ends will be mine to write
On a whispered prayer toward a brand new life
Heaven only knows what's on the other side
Bursting through the clouds to the other side
With hell so far behind me, heaven knows what I will find
and though my future may be cloudy I am ready for this ride
Piercing through the clouds into a clear blue sky
May be flyin' blind but I've finally seen the light
I've given my heart clearance for its maiden flight
Negativity behind me, future's positively bright
Hope is on the rise with every word I write
Gonna make it through to the morning light
and halfway through the dark is also halfway to the light
...and realizing I was wrong never felt so right
I should call your bluff / was I good enough? / realizing I was wrong has never felt so right
It was worth the pain / can a sad refrain turn into a song that makes a wounded soul take flight?
The tailwinds of a broken past will carry me to the light
I'm goin down in flames or soaring toward the light
My love letter (Jodi)
Is like a warm embrace from a long-lost friend / it's a fresh, new beginning / and a promise not to lose myself again
My love letter (Jodi)
Is something spiritual, like I've just been born again / it's sparkin feelings I remember / the kind that warm your heart when you hear from a childhood friend
My love letter (Jodi)
Is like a heavy weight lifted off my chest / I'm feelin' lighter than a feather / knowin' I hold the key to my own happiness
My love letter (Jodi)
This is my Confession, this is my Creed / I'm choosing words that make me better / Dwelling on the hurt won't help, I need hope so I can heal
My love letter (Jodi)
Is like an empty cage with an open door / you used words to clip my feathers / now each line I write makes my heart take flight as into the clouds I soar
My love letter (Jodi)
Is like a whispered prayer or a wedding vow
And for worse or for better
I'm gonna make up for the time we've lost, I'll make it up to you somehow
My love letter (Jodi)
Is like a whispered prayer or a wedding vow
And for worse or for better
Can't love another til I love you
I'm sorry, for the pain I put you through
The beauty of your heart (or soul) is shining through
Such a simple phrase, and so long overdue!
Have I told you how hot you look in those shoes?
(sorry... silliness took over for a second) ?
Time to break free, we've got nothing left to prove
And I'm sorry it took so long to see the truth
I'm seeing clearly, grey skies have turned blue
Can you hear me? Love is breaking through.
Should have never took so long to speak my truth
Had to break free from the lies to find the truth
And I dreamed that we were happy / and I dreamed that I could fly / half my dream is coming true and the other half's a lie
And I'm writing in slow motion, watching letters form the words / and the words, they come alive and fly away like little birds / every sentence feels like freedom, every phrase is like a key / I'm writing this love letter to me
And a word can make a heart soar with the eagles in the sky / or make it sore with heartache at the echo of goodbye
Love and Hate, Hurt and Heal are all four letter words we feel / You chose yours and now I'm choosing mine / and finding Hope in between the lines
I thought that I could ease your pain / but like a moth attracted to a flame / it took me to a place I shouldn't be / so I'm writing this love letter to me
So my words spill out like colors on a canvas / and they're painting scenes of who I want to be / stepping out into the light and taking chances / learning how to fall in love again with me
And if letters are like colors on a palette
And the words you choose paint the picture of your life
You can write a dirge or you can write a ballad
Or a sweet love song that cuts just like a knife
So as I write of grace and love / and how sometimes push comes to shove / in between the lines I hope you'll see / that I'm writing this Dear John letter to me
And as I try to string a thought or word together / the only thing I can come up with is "goodbye"
And if you were my addiction / I need to love myself enough to set me free / Baby can't you see...
And if you were my addiction / I need to love myself enough to give you up
and I can't say that I love you / cuz I don't love someone else / Maybe I should write this letter to myself...
So I cross your name out / and I write in mine / and try to learn this lesson one more time...
and there's a tear stain / next to your name / and my pen cannot decide if it's from sadness or relief
is just a blank page staring at me now / It got worse, never better / The lines that used to build us up only brought us down
This is my love letter / A little song to bring us together / If we try we can make things better / This is my love letter
I'm sending this love letter out to the world
Yes, this is my anthem my flag is unfurled
Don't underestimate the power of four letters strung together
They can hang a weight around your neck or make you feel light as a feather
I could decide to make your day
Or maybe I will make you pay
Perhaps I'll take you out to lunch
Or take you out with just one punch
Words can polarize or words can bring us all together
The difference between love and hate is how we choose the letters
Words can polarize or words can bring us all together
The difference between love and hate is how we choose the letters
I never understood that ancient rhyme bout sticks and stones
I've seen a lot of damage done with only lips and phones
This is my love letter to the world
Every man and woman boy and girl
If you feel me jump on the floor and sweat
To my positive spin on the alphabet
Did you ever notice / girls and boys / CRY has three letters and so does JOY
I've never been a poet / I just say what's on my mind
Hey you, I see you, slipping out the backstage door
Let's share a little screen time
(song about putting technology aside and sitting on a screened-in porch on a cool summer night)
I feel like Samson without his flowing hair /
Like Peter Parker if the spider wasn't there /
Since you walked out the door I walk the floor and I don't know what to do /
Like Sherlock Holmes without a clue
You must think you're a VIP but you sure ain't got no class / Come walkin round here like you own the place tryna make a backstage pass
Backstage Pass
Smile when you say that.
Turning Headwinds / into photo ops / don't the breeze look good / blowing through my hair
I gave you my best wishes / and kept reality for myself
Happiness is not a tune you can play with broken heartstrings /
Sad songs may be pretty, but they hurt like hell to write
I plead insanity /
You got the best of me /
I can't be judged or blamed /
It's just a cryin' shame /
When I'm with you I got no sense /
And that's my best defense /
Lock me up and lose the key /
I plead insanity
I'm startled by her scream / And suddenly I see / I wake, as from a dream / To find the ghost is me
Between love and pain's a line / fine as the desert sand / There in that great divide / the unforgiven stand
Is there no remedy / No way to heal this breach / Her memory clear, her form / Forever out of reach
And so she haunts my dreams / hope slips through yearning hands / forever doomed to be / an Unforgiven man
Still as a stone I stand / She passes through my form / This unforgiven man / At last has been reborn
Will someone hear my cries / Does anybody know / The way out of the place / the unforgiven go?
Emotions long concealed / Exhumed and given breath / So this is how it feels / to walk among the dead
And as the sun and moon / trade places in the sky / the vigil starts anew / a lone coyote cries
And as the wild ones howl / at last it dawns on me / An unforgiven man / I will forever be
While in the misty haze / a haunting song is heard / I know the melody / But can't make out a word
I turn and walk away / The ground wet from my tears / And where her phantom stood / a single rose appears
Three times I scream her name / Three times a rooster crows / Perhaps I've gone insane / Only the wild ones know
Three times a rooster crows / Three times I scream her name / I'm kneeling all alone / as it begins to rain
The vigil now resumes / Beneath a crimson sky / I stand alone again / A tumbleweed rolls by
Deceptive desert dance / Ironic rendezvous / I'm unforgiven still / My sin was ghosting you
Then as she melts away / Like some surrealist art / I fade into her void / Bestill my broken heart
But then she melts away / Like some surrealist art / And I am left alone / Bestill my broken heart
Deceptive desert dance / Mirage of irony / your form melts through my hands / in poignant mockery
I crawl toward your embrace / I'd run if I could stand / Sweet vision disappears / And now I understand
If I could make my way / Through dust and desert glare / My pain would be well-spent / If I could hold you there
But like a cruel mirage / Or like a forest Sprite / You slowly disappear / and vanish from my sight
If I could make my way / Through dust and desert glare / My pain would be well-spent / If I could hold you there
At long last love has come / I run to her embrace / She's here to take me home / far from this wretched place /
But as I reach for her / she's gone just like a Jinn / I rub my weeping eyes / Coyote calls again
At long last love has come / I run to her embrace /She's here to take me home / far from this wretched place / but as I reach for her / she's gone just like a Jinn / I fall down to my knees / And I'm alone again
Has heaven heard my prayer? / Is this my dream come true? / Like a beggar at a feast / My arms reach out for you
Wild as I am, can you see me? / My heart's embraced transparency / I've known your secrets, now you know mine / This once-lost soul is no longer blind
(A return to Sinclair's bridge, with a twist)
Soft floats the word I've yearned for / I strain my ear toward love's refrain / Hard beats the heart so long tormented / As the sky weeps cleansing, healing rain
And now the Wild Ones gather round, impatiently they pace / my soul comes clean, and from this dream I wake to Saving Grace
And now the Wild Ones gather round, impatiently they pace / can't help but feel, that just to yield, would be my Saving Grace
And now I wonder, was she real, or just a desert vision / Did I betray an angel or a fading apparition?
One word crafted to decieve, One word breathes redemption / The flaming bridge between the two is quenched by my confession
Weep not for me as if I'm doomed, shed not a single tear / I've made my bed, my love has fled, but I think I like it here
Bereft of hope, and fearing that these feet will never dance / Her sweet song sails upon the wind and whispers "second chance"
Caught within this twisted web of falsehoods I have spun / The more I struggle to break free, the more I am undone
And now I stand exposed and shamed, my cloak of falsehood frayed / fewer things are hard to mend as lovers trust betrayed
Loneliness engulfs me, silence echoes like a gong / Til like a fool a turn to see, she was right here all along
And so the wheel spins round and round, and so the Dealer cheats / And I can't find the exit from this labyrinth of deceit
Shrouded in silence, I am down on my knees / Your sweet song sails on a warm desert breeze
Hope rises, dawn surprises with a cleansing rain / Your voice bursts through the darkness, calling out my name
Angry skies, unconsoled, burst into tears / Baptize this chastened heart, wash away these fears
Soft whispers, love beckons, pride melts away / Dark scatters, mist rises, bright shines the day
I'm lost, can't find my way / Out of this barren land / One word from you could save / This unforgiven man
I don't control my fate / It's in another's hands / This is the tortured state / of an unforgiven man
Pride is a bitter pill / I'd gladly swallow mine / to gaze into your eyes / And sweet forgiveness find
In nightmare-fractured sleep / The memories remain / I stumble past the tombs / of all the dreams I've slain
The verdict handed down / by a jury of your tears / An unforgiven man / Wand'ring through the years
And still the Nightmares come / or are they Broken Dreams / my memories are the match / your words, the gasoline
And so this tortured soul / roams through this living hell / Although you've let it go / I can't forgive myself
Hunted by memories / They pierce me like a spear / Sentenced to walk alone / By a jury of your tears
And still the nightmares come / Or are they broken dreams / My tears like rivers run / But never wash me clean
Unforgiven/Please don't make me wait.
Unforgiven/Please don't seal my fate.
Unforgiven/Like a restless, wandering ghost/Unforgiven/Please don't stand so close
Come on, can you feel it?/ Every body gettin' down/ Pour some more tequila/ Every body gettin' down
With the flashing lights revealing every contour of your shape/ Is this a dream, or am I finally awake?
Smelling sweeter than a flower in the garden of a queen/ Girl you know, you're all that I need
Crowd is bouncin' to hotness of an acapella groove/ While our bodies melt together, and as one we start to move
Where the beat is like a canvas, and our bodies are the brush/ Shut out the world, girl, there's no one but us
And my eyes are slowly scanning, back and forth across the room/ As the crowd is oscillating to an acapella groove
And your beauty leaves me breathless, I don't think that I can speak/ I can tell you feel the same way from that blush upon your cheek
With the eyes of Cleopatra, and a Mona Lisa smile/ Girl can't you see, you're drivin' me wild?
With the eyes of Cleopatra, and a Mona Lisa smile/
Down the block I hear the hotness of an acapella groove/ Puts a pop into my step and makes my body start to move
Down the block I hear the thumpin' of an acapella beat/ With a harmony so tight it's breathin' life into my feet
Your sweet smile sparked an emotion I'd forgotten how to feel/ Like I just woke from a dream only to find that it was real
Running out onto the sidewalk, I just cannot wait to dance/ whoops, forgot this ain't no Zoom call, better go put on some pants. ?
I am steppin' from the darkness, movin' out into the light/Ain't nobody gonna stop me, there's a party on tonight
Moon is glowing in the distance, like my hope it's on the rise/ Knowin' soon I'll see my face reflected in your loving eyes
Your voice cuts through the darkness, and I break out in a run/ like a sprinter who just heard the gun
And your voice so gently whispers, sweet salvation in my ear/ my Paradise it's just a few blocks from here
And I cannot help but wonder, as I'm pickin up the line/ Is it your voice or just the weather, sendin shivers down my spine?
You're a little out of focus, I am almost out of bars/ Let's ditch this city and meet under the stars
And the rhythm of the ringtone lifts me up into the clouds/ we’re never higher than when we’re gettin down
And the rhythm of the ringtone lifts me up off of the ground/ we're never higher than when we're gettin down
And it sparks an emotion, I’d forgotten how to feel/Like waking from a dream and finding it's real
Now we're steppin' from the darkness, movin' out into the light/ You got my number, girl, let's get down tonight
My heart is barely beating, feels so heavy like a stone / but my pulse begins to quicken when your face lights up my phone
And it sparks an emotion I'd forgotten how to feel/Like I'm waking from a dream and can't decide if it was real
And I feel that pulsing rhythm from my laces to my crown/ Bump those speakers up/Ain't time to quit/It's time for gettin' down
And my heart is set on heaven/ Promised Land is in my view/ I walk through the gates of paradise when I'm gettin down with you
I am looking for an answer, but these teardrops block my view/ Still I'm driven by the rhythm as I'm reaching for you
Still my heart is set on heaven/ promised land is in my view/ I walk through the gates of paradise when I'm gettin down with you
Still my hope is set on heaven/Feel the music all around/ That lifts me up to Paradise when we are gettin' down
Got to do it, push on through it, keep my body on the move/Take what's given, feel the rhythm, never let them steal my groove
But a shuffle is a step (uh huh), and a step becomes a dance/ Pretty soon we're gettin' down, c'mon let's take this chance
But I feel that pulsing rhythm from my laces to my crown/ Bump those speakers up/Ain't time to quit/It's time for gettin' down
But my heart starts beating faster as I hone in on the sound/Got no time for givin' up when all my friends be gettin' down
Don't get me wrong/Ain't tryin' to quit/Just searchin' for a sound/That steady pulse that picks me up and keeps me gettin' down
Now I'm sittin in this loveseat that was made for two/ And the only thing I'm missin is you.
Now I'm sittin' in this loveseat that was made for two/
Now I sit in this loveseat that was made for two/wishin' you were here by my side.
Ol' Adam sat down in the middle of Paradise, feelin' so lonesome and blue
I've got two arms to hold you tight/ I've got two lips to kiss you goodnight
Shout it from the mountaintop, whisper in my ear/ From door to door, from coast to coast let's spread the word for all to hear...
Kindness, grace and mercy make us richer than our wages/ Let's let our hearts out of their cages
Good news floats along like seeds upon the breeze/ Acts of selfless kindness can lift you from your knees
I dreamed that I ran off and joined the circus/ only to wake up inside this cage
Good news floats like seeds upon the breeze/ Hopeful words can lift you from your knees
When the sky is dark/ and hope evades us/ when fear takes hold/ and Chaos rages
One Gentle Touch can still the chaos/ three tender words, can forever change us
Let's let our hearts/ out of their cages/ Let it be contagious
Life bursting out of all the chaos/ Yes, hope will change us/ Let it be contagious
Contagious/ That's what love is, it can save us/ when fear and misery plagues us/ open your heart/ that's where it starts/ it's contagious.
Looking at mountain graphs, staring at maps/ Like The King said we are caught in a trap/ But all hope is not lost, there's one thing that can save us/ A pandemic of kindness, I swear it's contagious.
I've noticed something funny about faces/ a smile, just like a yawn can be contagious.
What if love and kindness were contagious?/ Think of what this world of ours might be/ If we let our hearts out of their cages/ Like fire that blazes, love is contagious.
You might wanna step back, you don't want what I have/ Told the nurse at the clinic it only hurts when I laugh/ Now I'm sure that you think I'm just acting outrageous/ But a positive attitude can be contagious.
And so we rise to face adversity/ Like heroes we are valiant and courageous/ Let's raise the banner high for all to see/ Our faith and hope and love will be contagious
Good news floats like seeds upon the breeze/ Compliments can lift you from your knees
Life can be a maze of fear and dread/ Once it starts like wildfire it can spread/ One simple act of selflessness can change us/ Love is contagious
Invisible Fences
Hope is Essential (envisioning a story song about a woman named Hope)
Corona Cocoons
We'll Meet Again
Arm's Length
Better Together
If you could see my smile
Look for the Helpers
The Gift of Tomorrow
The boots that kept me grounded...
One family, one neighborhood, one tribe/ One world, let's make it better side-by-side.
One dream, a hope that can't be shaken/ One world, the future's what we make it.
One chance, if we'll reach out and take it/ One world, the future's what we make it.
One grain of sand becomes a pearl/ One touch of grace makes us one world.
One test, refining to the core/ One world, let's make it better than before.
One dream of what we yearn to be/ One world, determined to break free
One will, that drives us toward the prize/ One dream, I see it in your eyes
Raise a glass to the loved ones we've lost in this fight, with resolve to press on and to carry their light
One hope, reflected on your face/ One hand, one gentle touch of grace.
Two knees, on which I bend to pray/ Lord please, make us one world today.
One ray of hope is all it takes/ One act of kindness and of grace
One act of kindness and of grace/ One smile that spreads from face to face
Shake off the sadness and despair/ One day the clouds will part, I swear
One flame that will not ever die/ One hope that lives in you and I
One flame that will not ever die/ One world, from the ashes we will fly
One world, now shrouded by a mask/ One day, I'll see your smile at last.
One flame that will not ever die/ One world, from the ashes we will fly
One flame that will not ever die/ One hope that lives in you and I
One world, like that old Bill Withers song/ one world, lean on me when you're not strong
One world, beneath the sunlit sky/ One love sparks hope for you and I
One world, though now we're far apart/ One hope stirs kindness in our hearts
One world is where we belong/ One voice United in song
Search for coexistence, somewhere in the distance
Still I have to ask, if underneath your mask there's a smile?
Everything we thought we held so dear/ turns to smoke in the tainted air/ and floats off in the breeze, as we drop to our knees, and breathe a prayer.
The sound of a rocket
There is a summit where the mountain meets the sky/ and when we get there we'll be flyin/ feels like we're flyin
The mountain may be high, the river may be wide/ still I will bear you on my shoulder... like a soldier
We may be tempest tossed, it might be hard to stand/ still I will bear you on my shoulder... like a soldier...
They say no greater love has a man than this/ to lay his life down for another/ like a brother
Battles are lost and won, kingdoms rise and fall/ but through it all you're there beside me/ to guide me
They say true courage is to conquer all your fears/ I'll face mine down with you beside me... to guide me...
There is a road, winding through these country hills, past the coal mines and the mills where you taught me to be strong
The night is dark, and the river's deep and wide, but we'll reach the other side by the grace of God above
How they sparkle at the sound/ just like your smile lit up this town/ when fading dreams are all that's true/ in my heart I'll carry you
Though the angels led you home/ I will never be alone/ till my time on earth is through/ in my heart I'll carry you
Though for now we are apart/ I will hold you in my heart/ till my days on earth are through/ I will always carry you
I will answer when you call/ pick you up if you should fall/ yes, I will carry you
Like the Good Book carries truth/ I will shout it from the roof/ I will carry you
Like a tune played from the heart/ on this old six string guitar/ I will carry you
Like a memory holds a dream/ and it echoes back to me/
Like a freight train carries coal/ You're the rock that fuels my soul
I'll carry you/ like a freight train carries coal/ you're the rock that fuels my soul/ As We Roll On Down the Line
I will carry you/ like a storm cloud carries rain/ let it wash away the stain/ life has left upon your soul
I will carry you/ like a song carries a tune/ harmony fills up the room/ and it carries us away
All things change in time/ Mountains yet to climb
Hearts beat strongest when, carrying a friend
Hearts are strongest when/ they're holding up a friend
You have been my light, through the darkest night
From you I learned to run, now my time has come...
Closer than a friend/ Brothers to the end
Now the tides have turned/ Here is what I've learned
Like a seed, on a gentle evening breeze finds its place among the trees, where it grows up tall and strong.
He tossed his bug-out bag in the back of the truck and I asked him where he was bound/ He said, "I'm pretty sure that I'm headed for Hell, but you can drop me off at the next town.
What's a soldier to do when the fighting's all through and the dogs of war quit snarlin'? Take me back to the farm where I lay down my arms and get lost in yours my darlin'.
You say that I'm distant, and sometimes you wonder if I'd rather be back overseas/ It's not that I miss it, but at least over there I knew what they wanted from me.
How did my life become such a soup sandwich, when I used to command a platoon?
He used to carry an M-16, now he carries a hand-scrawled sign
They call it PTSD/ My pappy called it Shell Shock/ I made it home on a plane/ My buddy came in a box/ And it was draped in a flag/ The colors red, white and blue/ Can't stand on my own two feet/ But brother, I'll carry you.
He stood by the highway, with his thumb pointed west, but his eyes pointed south toward the ground/ He wore a camouflage coat that was covered in dust, and he looked up as I slowed down.
We carried out our orders from New Dawn back to Desert F/ox but we never thought the six of us would be carrying this box.
When the road is too long, I will walk by your side/ When the waves are too strong, I will turn back the tide/
Franky was the youngest boy in a family of four/ Every Saturday all the neighbor kids went to the woods and went to war.
And it gleams in my tears, as a rainbow appears, washing all the dark colors away.
And a rainbow appears/ from laughter mixed with tears/ Love's promise in majestic display.
And a rainbow appears/ from laughter mixed with tears/
And a rainbow appears as laughter mingles with tears/ brilliant colors keep the Darkness at Bay.
And a rainbow appears/ as laughter mingles with tears/ and its colors keep the Darkness at bay.
And the tears in my eyes fall like rain from the skies washing all the dark colors away.
As we leap the abyss, and the warmth of your kiss, chases all of the darkness away.
When the flames of romance turn mourning into dance, though we're tainted, we're acquainted with hope.
When the sun, as it sets, takes with it our regrets, though we fainted, we're acquainted with hope.
Memories we've made/ spill colors on the canvas/ animated as our love/ turns mourning into dances.
Memories we've made/ spill colors on the canvas/ few can paint a masterpiece/ I think I like our chances.
We will hold them close/ just like we hold each other/ joy will blossom like a rose/ within the hearts of lovers.
We will shine like stars/ our future brims with promise/ Falling stars burn brighter still/ and love shines down upon us.
Walk along the sea shore/ waves erase our footprints/ Someone always wants more/ Let's erase the pretense/ Ride into the sunset/ where they'll never find us/ We can't see the past now/ It's that far behind us.
Hey ho whoa oh oh/ leave the past behind us/ Hey ho whoa oh oh/ troubles cannot find us/ Hey ho whoa oh oh/ future brims with promise/ Hey ho whoa oh oh/ love shines down upon us.
Hey ho whoa oh oh/ leave the past behind us/ Hey ho whoa oh oh/ troubles cannot find us/ Hey ho whoa oh oh/ future brims with promise/ Hey ho whoa oh oh/ love shines down upon us.
Float with me across the sky/ trip the light Fandango/ go put on that pretty red dress/ it takes two to tango/ let's go out and paint the town/ like it was our last dance/ Stolen Moments are so rare/ this may be our last chance.
We will share the laughter/ they can keep the sadness/
We will sing and dance together/ they can have the madness/
We will watch the children play/ join them in their chorus/
Stolen moments set us free/ heaven lies before us.
Stolen moments/ no regrets/ leave the past behind us
Stolen moments/ we're content/ envy cannot find us
Stolen moments/ fear is gone/ future brims with promise
Stolen moments/ life is now/ love shines down upon us
And when Giants dance/ all the Earth is shaking/ Stolen Moments/ take my hand/ life's worth celebrating.
Wading through the sea/ stepping over mountains/ Stolen moments lift us up/ to drink from haven's fountain.
Wading through the sea/ stepping over mountains/ drinking stolen moments in like waters from a crystal fountain.
Laughter breaks the chains/ Fear is not our captor/ Stolen moments/ You and I/ Will write our final chapter. (re-submitted)
Laughter breaks the chains/ Fear is not our captor/ Stolen moments/ You and I/ Will write our final chapter.
Lightening splits the night/ Hear the sound of laughter/ Stolen moments/ You and I/ Will write the final chapter.
Leave our demons far behind/ There's nothing they can show us/ We may live on borrowed time/ But we thrive on stolen moments.
Sweet sounds pierce the gloom/ music in the distance/ Piper calls the tune/ breaking our resistance.
Tailwinds catch the sail/ Let our troubles chase us/ Stolen moments carry us/ to a sweet oasis.
Moonlight floods the room/ Love from floor to rafters/ Stolen moments chase the gloom/ We are all that matters.
And the Folly/ of it all/ we rob Peter to pay Paul/ but now Peter/ holds the key/ to Paradise
At the height/ of our fear/ we shed a single tear/ in the distance/ there's a drum beat/ in the night.
At the height/ of our grief/ we cry out for relief/ Was that an angel, or a devil/ that flew by?
In panic and shock/ our bloody knuckles knock/ desperate/ for a way to/ make it right.
At the height/ of our fears/ as we're drowning in our tears/ we grope for/ a lifeline/ in the night.
Have we found a sweet Oasis/ from the trials that always chase us/ Just when we thought we'd escaped it/ Circumstances escalated. (This is a change up on the cadence with the melody following closely the guitar riff.)
(But) like inmates/ on the run/ the hell hounds track us down/ and we're hauled back into the turmoil again
Take a pause/ catch a breath/ then we're dragged back in the mess/ by a vortex of violence and stress.
But the screams/ from the street/ jar us out of gentle sleep/ to the glaring/ staring eyes of/ the beast.
Then the claws/ of our fears/ rip us out of gentle sleep/ face to face/ with the nightmare/ of the real.
Sunbeams crack the sky watch the darkness scatter, stolen moments you and I that's all that really matters
We may live on borrowed time, but we thrive on stolen moments.
and they skip a beat/ as we walk hand in hand down the moonlit street
And the rhythm/ reminds us that life's still worth livin'/
Far/ beyond the rolling waves/ there's love unspoken/ come/ with me, let's sail away/ on stolen moments.
And the voice/ of the night/ shouts secrets yet untold/ will you follow/ or stay where/ you are?
In the pangs of regret ten thousand needles bite but the outcome is a beautiful mark
And the claws of regret sink deep into our flesh and they're tearing and baring our hearts
And the face/ in the mirror/ laughs at you as you weep/ drop the razor/ and look at/ the stars.
Stab your brush/ with a thrust/ into the gruesome gore/ life is merely/ an imitation/ of art.
And the pain/ unrelenting/ fills an ocean/with tears/ sail away/ to a haven unmarked.
With a Thrust stab your brush into a palette of pain that's where every true Masterpiece starts.
Don't forget brushes dipped in the pallete of pain are where every true masterpiece starts.
And behind us the hellhounds are hot on our heels with a bite that's much worse than their bark.
When the face in the mirror grins back while you cry/ drop the blade and look up at the stars.
When my joints scream with pain/ from kneeling in vain/ With my last breath I'll reach for your heart.
Though my eyes may be swollen/ weeping for moments stolen/ Think it's time to start stealing them back.
You can take/ a grim view/ but just like a tattoo/ blood and pain can leave a beautiful mark.
Broken chains, broken spells/ bats do fly out of hell/ Blackness flees from the smallest of sparks.
Hear the peal of the bell/ There's a boat out of hell/ All it takes is your will to embark.
Lightening strikes/ thunder peals/ rain drops fall/ and it feels/ like we're outside, and Noah just sealed the ark.
Breathless, I run back across the bridge/ ignited by my own choices/ You call out to me about love's second chance/ or am I just hearing voices?
Judgment thundered, mercy fled/ was it something that I said?/ The sun turned black, the moon turned red/ I turned into the driveway.
These days life is so demanding/ expectations never stop/ once, I tried to steal a moment/ but somebody called the cops
We all need time like mother's milk/ but minutes weave a spider's silk/ Bound as I struggle to be free/ In someone else's urgency
We all need time like mother's milk/ but minutes come like spider silk/ Bound as I struggle to be free/ By someone else's urgency
Frustration/ aggravation/ alienation/ ruination/ libation/ agitation/ damnation/ change the station
Round and round and round we go/ Alfred Hitchcock's Vertigo/ What God joins, we tear asunder/ Spinning circles pull us under.
Hey you kids! Get off of my lawn/ When I come back you'd better be gone
It used to be that buying time meant slowing down a little/ Now they sell it to me by the minute on my phone/ I've heard tell that stolen fruit tastes just a little sweeter/ Think I'll steal a moment and go off somewhere alone.
It used to be that buying time meant slowing down a little/ Now they sell it to me by the minute on my phone/
Bad news scrolls across the screen/Politicians make me scream/The sun is hot/My eggs are cold/The mirror says I’m getting old/ Gunshots fired/ another headline/ no time to read it/ I got a deadline/ join the block party/ on the freeway/ Can't a guy get a little leeway?
Bad news scrolls across the screen/Politicians make me scream/The sun is hot/My eggs are cold/The mirror says I'm getting old.
Bad new scrolls across the screen/Politicians make me scream/Sun is hot/Coffee's cold
Time lapse/You know those movies?/Squeeze a day into a minute, now ain't that groovy?
Counting my steps/Counting my breaths/Counting my heartbeats/Countdown to death/Pushing the limits/Push myself faster/Got to slow down/I'm a natural disaster.
Speed up the treadmill/here we go/where it stops/only God knows/keep in step/pick up the pace/gotta win the rat race.
Is there any room behind those piercing baby blues/where we can get away from all this racket?
Are there any secret places/we can go to find where grace is/all this frantic status chasing/has me on the ledge
Heartbeat races/Feels like thunder/Can't explain this spell I'm under/No one's lookin'/Let's slip away/Light a candle/curse the day.
Can you hear me/Are you listening/Sweat upon my brow is glistening/I just want for you to see me/Though you wouldn't want to be me.
Out of breath/Out of gas/Tail lights ahead/Gotta pass/Out of reasons/Out of rhymes/Deadline coming/Out of time.
Ready, set, go/everybody run/I think I heard the starting gun/Pushin' myself at a break-neck pace/chase that prize/win this race.
Every day we're livin' is a gift we're given
Every day we're given/makes this life worth livin'
Take my hand, walk with me/while the clock keeps ticking
For you I've been waiting/no more hesitating
Let the storm clouds scatter, I have found what matters
They say "Time is money," so let's spend it wisely
Let's race toward tomorrow, like each day is borrowed
Every heartbeat reminds me/there's a lifetime behind me/And my view of tomorrow's obscured by the smoke/from all of the bridges I've burned.
Every heartbeat reminds me/that a lifetime's behind me./Time to focus instead on the one that's ahead/and turn my perspective around.
Every heartbeat reminds me/there's a strong wind behind me/and I've learned that tomorrow is out of my reach/but I can take hold of today.
Every heartbeat reminds me/how fast time gets behind me/but I'd trade my tomorrows for just one more chance/to sit on the front porch with you.
Every heartbeat reminds me/how these fires have refined me/I'll be stronger tomorrow because today's sorrow/has taught me to treasure these times.
Every heartbeat reminds me/to stop looking behind me/I will reach toward tomorrow with a hope that's not borrowed/I'm drawing a line in this sand.
Every heartbeat reminds me/how my childhood defines me/but whether tomorrow holds joy or brings sorrow/comes down to the choices I make.
Every heartbeat reminds me/that one day you will find me/looking down from above on the ones that I love/but today they are here by my side.
Every heartbeat reminds me/like a drumbeat behind me/that life's cadence is steady, and I'm finally ready/to get back in step and walk on.
Every heartbeat reminds me/of the One sent to guide me/through all the tomorrows He allows me to borrow/all he asks for is all my todays.
Of the minutes behind me/But since time can't be borrowed, I'll purchase tomorrow/I'm not looking back anymore
Every heartbeat reminds me
Smile while you still have teeth :)
No more empty tomorrows, cause life is short.
Let each heartbeat remind me, that life is short.
Opportunity's endless, but life is short.
Be the change that I long for, cause life is short.
Fairy tales last forever
Love like there's no tomorrow
How I long for tomorrow
Love like there's no tomorrow
Make the most of these moments
Sing me a love song/but please don't take too long/
