bookmark_borderLuck Of The Draw

LYRICS
Why am I so lucky
Living life with no need for pity
Look up to the sky…
I have to wonder why

Feeling with empathy
No need for your sympathy
Look up to the sky…
I have to wonder why

Oh, Lord
Can you spare a word
Have you heard
I scream, “What does it mean?”
Look up to the sky…
I have to wonder why

Is it just me
Or can everybody see
How to be and be living free
Look up to the sky…
I have to wonder why

From now through eternity
There’s nothing better that I can see
Graciously
I thank thee
Look up to the sky…
Praise till the day I die

bookmark_borderIn Short, So Long

LYRICS
Too short on the short
Too long the too long
I must be moving on
In short, so long

The time is ripe to move along
Bring the hype into the song
Open the door
Explore for more
You’ll see…
It’s meant to be
BE

Can’t be rescinded
The way too long long-winded
No. Can’t be really wrong
In short, so long

Said it once, why say it again
Let’s end “The End”
Begin begin
Get it on
Bang a gong
In short, so long

bookmark_borderIn Depth (Eyes)

LYRICS
When I look deep in your eyes
See the depth of beauty
An old soul… beyond wise
Be, in depth, the beauty
Big… and dark… and deep
Into my heart you seep
All your previous lives
Culminate in surprise
… deep in your eyes

When I look deep in your eyes
See the depth of reality
An old soul… beyond wise
Being in depth reality
Into our I’s
Deep in our eyes

bookmark_borderOut On Our Own

LYRICS
Surrounded by many
More than plenty
Yet, I see
Individuality
Dawning on me
All in all
We’re all
Individual

Though it looks that I’m not alone
I suppose I’m out on my own

Starting to see
The element that’s me
Plugging the hole
In the whole
Peculiar molecule
Known as “Be”
The element that’s me
Starting to see
Out of my own
Though it looks that we’re not alone
I suppose we’re out on our own

bookmark_borderOut In Front

LYRICS
When you’re in the lead
Why consider concede
No! Don’t look back
Don’t look back

The pace of the race: when past leaves no trace
A back you’ll see no more
When you’re in before
No! Don’t look back
Don’t look back
Don’t look back
Stay in attack

Once I cross the line
I can take my time
From now till then
Keep the focus movin’
And, don’t look back
No matter the slack
No! Don’t look back
Don’t look back
Stay in attack
No! Don’t look back
Don’t look back

LYRICS
Fading daylight
Oncome of night
Going dim
Passed the rim
Here/Hear’s what’s happening
Into the evening
Let the music play
Beyond the fall of day
Let tomorrow
Follow today
Heed the call of the sway
’til tomorrow
Follows today
