Beloved

 

Hard to Say (In My Soul)

 

Hard to say this love for you
But I know it's true
Hard to tell you how I feel
But I know it's real

Many miles away from you
The years this distance stole
In my moments of despair
I find you in my soul

Many times along the way
It seemed I didn't care
It was then my love for you
Was more than I could bear

Silence builds its wall around
The words I never speak
Afraid to say what I mean
Ashamed to be so weak

My love for you remains the place
Where I long to be
My words alone can't explain
This vision that I see

Hard to say this love for you
But I know it's true
Hard to tell you how I feel
But I know it's real

 

 

 

 

 

Sea Wind

 

Moving out across the ocean

Without direction

You are the mooring

For the low tide in me

 

Waves they break upon my bow

Numbing me senseless

But you warm my soul

With your sunshine

Smile

 

Looking out across the bay

I can see the way

Things will have to be

As the rocky shore

Has invited me

 

Lay your anchor

Next to mine

And we’ll spend our time

Blow’n sea wind

 

 

 

 

 

Our Days

 

We used to walk

Together every day

We used to talk

About everything

We were so

Very close

Now I am alone

With only your ghost

 

Just like a century

Has come and gone

Our memories

Don’t last that long

I wander the world

Without a home

I lived your life

As it was

My very own

 

They’re our days

That are hard

To move through

Sleepless nights

In bed

Without you

I miss knowing

You’d always be there

I can’t stand the thought

Of all the things

We’ll never share

 

I took everything

You had to give

You were

The most important

Reason I had to live

In a moment

It was gone

Now the nights

Are endless

And the days

So bitterly long

 

I woke up this morning

No sun to be found

I went to bed tonight

No moon around

I can’t believe this feeling

 

So deep inside

 

It feels like we

Instead of you that died

 

 

 

 

 

 

Angel

 

Out in the distance

Beyond horizons

Into an evening sky

Where sleeping angels lie

 

You may not find me

Beyond horizons

Into a morning sky

Where haloed angels fly

 

True to a pure heart

Beyond horizons

Into a storm filled sky

Where angry angels fly

 

Born of a clear mind

Beyond horizons

Into the dark night sky

Where fallen angels die

 

Look to your spirit

Beyond horizons

Into a mourning sky

Where sacred angels fly

 

That’s where you’ll find me

Beyond horizons

Into the evening sky

Where sleeping angels lie

 

 

 

Land of the Living

 

In the land of the living

Where soul reins supreme

 

In the land of the living

Imagination melts into a most precious dream

 

In the land of the living

Man carries the weight of commitment

 

In the land of the living

Woman bears the promise of tomorrow

 

In the land of the living

They will be anointed king and queen

 

 

 

 

 

 

Life

 

Facing life from the outside

See your face in the shadows

Hear your voice as it echoes

Can’t explain this emptiness inside

Facing life from the outside

 

Torn a hole in the downside

In a rut that is too wide

Told a lie that I can’t hide

Locked in place from the inside

Caught in between and I can’t decide

 

Been away for a long time

Tucked away in a state of mind

Reaching out there’s no lifeline

Drifting back I am

Falling far behind

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Alone in a room

 

Alone in a room

Behind a closed door

Alone in a room

Spilt on to the floor

He’d been there before

But not in this way

He’d been there before

But not in this way

It ended too soon

 

Alone in a room

Except for the cat

Alone in a room

Like him it was trapped

Up on the sill

Just looking out

Up on the sill

Just looking out

It sat there and stared

 

Alone in a room

The last several years

Alone in a room

Alone in his tears

For her he had lost

It cost him so much

For her he had lost

It cost him so much

She left him too soon

 

Alone in a room

Behind a closed door

Alone in a room

Spilt on to the floor

He drank what he could

To forget what they had

He drank what he could

To forget what they had

But he never would

 

Alone in a room

Hardly a sound

Alone in a room

Waiting to be found

He’d been there before

But not like this day

He’d been there before

But not like this day

It ended too soon

 

Alone in a room

Behind a locked door

Alone in a room

Alone never more

 

 

 

Mother’s Days

 

Her love is an ocean wide

Her pride is a universe high

 

Most days she will watch you grow

Some days you will watch her grow

Some days she will feel   your pain

One day you will feel her pain

 

Her love is an ocean wide

Her pride is a universe wide

 

Most days she will wave as you leave

One day you will wave as you grieve

One day she will let you go

One day you will let her go

 

Inside where memories hide

Her love   is an ocean wide

Inside where our precious dreams lie

Her pride is a universe high

 

One day she will let you go

One day you will let her go

 

Her love is an ocean wide

Her pride is a universe high

 

 

 

 

 

My Child

 

Be Safe in your travels My Child

Stay Safe as the morning draws light

Be Safe in adventures My Child

Stay Safe this night

 

Times tomorrow

Times to behold

Times we borrow

Times to be sold

 

And Hope breaks through

Releasing the dreams

We pray come true

 

Be Safe in your journeys My Child

Stay Safe as the morning draws near

Be Safe in adventure My Child

Stay Safe from fear

 

Times of laughter

Times in such pain

Times we gather

Times of restrain

 

And Hope breaks through

Releasing the dreams

We pray come true

 

Be Safe in your   journeys My Child

Stay Safe as the morning draws near

Be Safe in adventure My Child

Stay Safe from fear

 

Times of exception

Times of success

Times of redemption

Times to confess

 

And Hope breaks through

Releasing the dreams

We pray come true

 

Be Safe in your travels My Child

Stay Safe as the morning draws light

Be Safe in adventures My Child

Stay Safe this night

 

 

 

 

 

When two become one

 

When love becomes you

When love becomes you

You become love

And love becomes two

And two become one

When love becomes you

 

When two hearts unite

When two hearts unite

The world stands still

And stars will spill

To light up the night

When two hearts unite

 

When two lovers meet

When two lovers meet

Together to live

Forever to give

A promise to keep

When two lovers meet

 

When two become one

When two become one

All   fears disappear

And dreams reappear

A new life begun

When two become one

 

When love becomes you

When love becomes you

You become love

And love becomes two

And two become one

When love becomes you

 

 

 

Welcome

 

 

I met you in a dream

I can feel you in the air that I am breathing

I hear you whispering

You are my every reason for living

 

We see you everywhere

In all of the plans we are making

We have so much to share

A life of joy and celebrating

 

Welcome to our world

Welcome to this life together

Welcome to my world

Welcome to my heart forever

 

Welcome to our world
