BE THAT AS IT MAY
welcome back
here is tonight's show
half the year has gone
i haven't stopped to pause
as is my mojo
returned to sing these songs
picked up where i left off
last time
to hammer nail to frame
the many moments of
this strange thing called life
and that weird whats-a-name
yeah i've been high
gone so low
suprises every day
head been done in
by woe boy
be that as it may
kneeling at
my place of work i'm
surrounded by a shrine
there are printed milestones
photos captured
where i see you and i
never fails
or will it cease to
amaze for what i see
i got a mother father sister
family
staring back at me
yeah i've been high
gone so low
suprises every day
head been done in
by woe boy
be that as it may
no stone unturned
no feeling
do i escape each day
yeah i might curse and curl up
be that as it may
so get a hold of
you gotta hold on
you gotta grip on
you gotta whole one

A FUTURE UNWRITTEN
04:11
|
|||
|
one day back in '55
a pure soul of conviction showed she had the right
to ride the bus and choose her seat
segregation enforced but she would defeat
all those conditioned minds
who defined their days by those ugly signs
by staying put she set
a civil motion to the street
a vision theirs they would compete
so hold on
the future's unwritten, as is today
so go on
rewrite your present to suit your way
so hold on
a new beginning is a breath away
so go on
the future's unwritten as is today
an epidemic better phrased as a plague
those in office with the power kept their spiel vague
millions lost and more each day
no answer forthcoming and it've stayed that way
unless the souls who suffered
rose up as one and demanded more
and through their stand they saved
generations got a life
so many were denied
so hold on
the future's unwritten, as is today
so go on
rewrite your present to suit your way
so hold on
a new beginning is a breath away
so go on
the future's unwritten as is today
kids will be kids that's how they justify
bully in the playground as the children died
not because their time had come
instead by their own hand they'd had enough
but
no means no that's right
and the victims stood and they would unite
to end this cruel charade
and if they hadn't stood their ground
so many wouldn't be around
so hold on
the future's unwritten, as is today
so go on
rewrite your present to suit your way
so hold on
a new beginning is a breath away
so go on
the future's unwritten as is today
that's what i say
there's no better way
than to start today

THE SEARCH FOR HOME

THE SEARCH FOR A HOME
For a long time
i was searching for a home
even with one
i felt so damn alone
there were open doors
and a welcome mat see
I felt an imposter
even being me
so
i
would wave no and walk away
give over
paying rent to hide
consumed by dismay
all over
a matter of time before
i went all the way
run over
broken levee
so heavy
For a long time
i was searching for a home
even with one
i felt so lost, alone
there were open doors
and a welcome mat laid
I felt an imposter
even being me afraid
they'd recognize
signs I tried to hide
Summer day came
and I went into a cell
didn't want to
i assumed another hell
but the opened door
with the room i'd lay
set
my head to rest
there wasn't one regret
so
i
met you with a hug
gave over
and let the pain define
the peace that'd begun
turned over
from scratch I'd grow
i'd stand straight up not roam
remember
there is always
in the hallways
fires ablaze
a light to guide
a map to find
set your roam
to take you back to home

BONNIE
Do they know
what they're saying ?
Do they even care
they hurt you like they do ?
we're reaching out
for that mutual spirit
who will understand
our feelings, stand by true
give so much
of ourselves by living
put our faith and trust
in people we believe
will never let, our hearts be broken
til we wake one day
and find ourselves bereaved
But it's over now
when a soul knows how
and will love
you for
who you are
Perchance to dream
that yours to cherish
take it in both hands
don't let it go
knowing truth
keeps us believing
and will inspire days
where love and light will glow
For I'll know it's over now
when a soul knows how
and will love
you for
who you are
when your sighing
feel like crying
take this song, play
know that one day
we will meet to
smile and hold through
each emotion
true devotion
My Bonnie lies across the ocean
I thank the heavens that
I know you as I do
My sister dear
never doubt for a second
that your brother J
is always here for you
And then it will be over now
when a soul knows how
as they love
you for
who you are
When
it's over
now.....

REMISSION
I must
walk this way
unique to me
or else
it's over
i can't
drop what I'm
doing now
for you
give a little get a lot today
through the middle there's a lot to say
they're dismissive of another way
who are
you to judge ?
presume
what's good
for then
it's over
strangers
all of you
i can't relate i'm through
give a little get a lot today
through the middle there's a lot to say
they're dismissive of another way
i'll tell you what it is
just don't pass it off as your own
reminded of abyss
take a look at just how much you've grown
if it all comes down to this
then i wish i'd never ever known
past the heartache
errands i will run
not my own but yours
it's over
i will stick to my guns
won't be used no more
give a little get a lot today
through the middle there's a lot to say
they're dismissive of another way
i'll tell you what it is
just don't pass it off as your own
reminded of abyss
take a look at just how much you've grown
if it all comes down to this
then i wish i'd never ever known
past the heartache
give a little get a lot today
through the middle there's a lot to say
they're dismissive of another way

I WONDER....
I WONDER
IF ANYTHING I'VE EVER SHARED AND SAID
IF ANYTHING I'VE DONE BEFORE I'M DEAD
MEANT ANYTHING TO YOUR HEART OR HEAD
I WONDER
IF EVERYTHING MUST RUN A COURSE TO FIND
IF EVERYTHING IS NOT BY CHANCE DESIGNED
IF EVERYTHING IS MAPPED OUT AHAED OF TIME
DON'T GET SULLEN
FEEL
THAT YOU ARE DEFEATED
MULLING
OVER
WHAT YOU CANNOT CHANGE
LISTEN TO ME DARLING
I LOVE YOU
ALWAYS WILL
GO SIT ON THE WINDOW SILL
I WONDER
IF I HAVE DONE ENOUGH BEFORE I GO
IF I HAVE SET IN STONE A MOMENT SO
YOU NEVER HAVE TO GO THROUGH WHAT I DID
I WONDER
IF ANYTHING I'VE EVER SHARED AND SAID
IF ANYTHING I'VE DONE BEFORE I'M DEAD
MEANT ANYTHING TO YOUR HEART OR HEAD
DON'T GET SULLEN
FEEL
THAT YOU ARE DEFEATED
MULLING
OVER
WHAT
YOU
CANNOT
CHANGE
LISTEN TO ME DARLING
I LOVE YOU
ALWAYS WILL
GO SIT ON THE WINDOW SILL
WE CAN'T REWIND
TIME
CANNOT EDIT TIMELINES
KNIFE THE FORK
THAT
SAT
THERE
ON
THE ROAD
LISTEN TO ME DARLING
I LOVE YOU
HERE WE GO

NO GOING BACK

I
understand your pain
For we've tried
so hard to know explain
why
death
consumed him
involved in
lies comes around
truths to be found
Is
there a better way
to expound
on what you have to say
it feels wrong
so pointless
annoint mess
to his memory
will your cut key
open the door
it's what we know
that hurts us
that it's so slow
(that it's so slow..)
to recognize
allow the
truth
to flow
yes
(you're allowed to grieve)
you're allowed to grieve
angered by
(the silence that surrounds)
the silence that surrounds
the fact his
life
was cut short
shot down caught
(but you must see)
but you must see
responsibilty
is on the shoulders of he
made a choice
no going back

I arrive
at the station
for i'm going
overseas
not to fly
to a nation
rather flowing
with this breeze
wave goodbye
maybe i'll
hold the waterfall
through my eyes
i see
don't deny
merely apply
oceans of fears
watch a smile form
from the tears
yes i smoke
inhale vapours
and it doesn't
intend to be
replacement of
past addictions
that would smother
all of me
wave goodbye
maybe i'll
hold the waterfall
through my eyes
i see
don't deny
merely apply
oceans of fears
watch a smile form
from the tears

LETTING THE LIGHT BE SEEN
sometimes we are afraid
at times too we are dismayed
why on earth would they do
what they did
to us and you
how they hid
truth all from view
you must try to be strong
even when life will get it wrong
keep faith don't despair
turn around
there's someone there
who will rise
pull out a chair
for you to stay
don't go nowhere
I've seen
a true dream
flows over now
cant take it away from me
who knows
what's coming ?
towards us all
we're letting the light be seen
so what we might fail
but stand upright and we'll prevail
what keeps us down aint often true
unless we let it define what we do
I've seen
a true dream
flows over now
cant take it away from me
who knows
what's coming ?
towards us all
we're letting the light be seen
GO BE!
a true dream
flows over now
cant take it away from me
who knows
what's coming ?
towards us all
we're letting the light be seen

IT IS NO AGE

IT IS NO AGE
saw myself in you
shared the mindset to be true
you voiced what most
refused
so long overdue
your story known by just a few
a misplaced tome
confused
i think it's right
to be angry
to feel a certain rage
to go so young
it is no age
forever young
they state as if you
were destined to depart
for this world's sake
a seer or sage
still it is no age
if we wait too long
to acknowledge memories
they move on
become a faint reprise
for all that you acheived
they chose the day
we were bereaved
as if that's all you bequeathed
i think it's right
to be angry
to feel a certain rage
to go so young
it is no age
forever young
they state as if you
were destined to die
for this world's sake
a seer or sage
it is no age
River flow
River flow
i hope you know
we won't let go
The River flows

RISE

RISE
here i sit
i see you smiling
your clear eyes
are so inspiring
we can't help
but count the weeks since
you went on
our handsome sweet prince
melodies
I made you are played
we sing along
you did it your way
you drop clues
that you are at peace
we needn't search
because your
name's in papers
the horse races
the radio takes us
into
straight through
to you
7 years
is such a long time
to not have you
to sit with beside
part of me
wishes I'd known more
about your life
but what I did soared
above the canopy
of living
you loved so much
and were so giving
the picture in my mind
replays you
feeding birds
who knew if they flew
to your hand
you'd offer
a dinner
so proper
they knew
as we do
you were true
we've got a life
a certain time
we've got to fill it with
the sign
we love to live
we're thankful for
what we're bestowed
and not ask more
than we deserve
we have to earn
the present day reflects
what we're headed for
we've got a life
a certain rhyme
and we can time
when we rise
they say you never
know what you had
until you've lose it
i dispute that
for some
that might be true
but not with me I always knew
i'd miss those closest
to me now gone
but memories live on
and
always
will
through
our lifetime
we've got a life
a certain time
we've got to fill it with
the sign
we love to live
we're thankful for
what we're bestowed
not ask more
than we deserve
we have to earn
the present day reflects
what we're headed for
we've got a life
a certain rhyme
and we can time
when we rise
and
always
will
through
our lifetime
