It was strange how it did begin
Knock out words for the win
Hearts on fire
Filled with desire
I think love is going to win
All it took was one look at you
Aura that shows the truth
Hearts on fire
Filled with desire
I think love is going to win
Words you choose, the things you say
I could never turn away
Hearts on fire
Filled with desire
I think love is going to win

He steps up to the plate
He takes centre stage
He breathes in the foul air
Because it is all the rage
He marries young
He has two kids
Takes a job so he can live
Whatever that does mean
He drinks and smokes
Takes unnecessary risks
Doesn't think things through
He opts but doesn’t pick
His crisis looms
He wants more
He feels the rut of his choices
His options long ago were rather staid
He sees the world differently
He sees the world limiting his is
Calibrated by circumspect
Owned by societal bliss
An existential crisis looms
Mass hysteria paves the way
“You are so different than all the others
Why must you be this way?”
Will it ever end?
The rhythm goes on an on
Playing with his head
Same old familiar song.

I love to listen to
The songs that you sing
Long into the night
Feel the warmth that you bring
Filling me with delight
Chase away the darkness
Clearing of the mind
Defining in the starkness
Another place another time
Certain feelings that were felt
Certain thoughts that did occur
Life is but a threshold
Of meanings that are inferred

Doors are open
Inviting
Awaiting their fate
Doors are open
Urging one
To contemplate
There are methods in the madness
There are fires in the soul
There are candles to be lit
Desiring self control
There are bells to be wrung
Hearts to be set on fire
Imaginations to be captured
Falling within desire
Minds are open
Appealing
Sharing quiet worlds
Minds are open
Elaborate
When you feel the need

The words flowed easily
The melody overpowered
By the intent
The songs caught
Amidst attempts
To invent
Searching for a sound
Almost there
It doesn’t take long
When they dare
How they did dare.

The barbed wire fence sent a message
A stark city street was aware
Mothers packed up their children
Doorsteps said beware
One day there was a vehicle
Driven by despair
Moments built on lack of trust
Unyielding to compare
And so it goes
Hearts built by a rose
And so it goes
Where one never knows
A simple song was written
Under dark blue skies
Lending itself to a vision
Dark dogs wonder why

Songs fill my heart
Looking for a place to start
Dreams live forever
I wish that you were here
So far yet so near
Dreams live forever
On a road to nowhere
On a road because you care
Dreams live forever
A hand reaches out to give aid
Another reaches to be paid
Dreams live forever
You give yourself in love
You give yourself in time
You give yourself in reaching out
Improving by design
Dreams live forever
Dreams live forever
In our hearts
Dreams live forever

No discussions
No explanations
No time to demonstrate love
No time to demonstrate care
No time to provide understanding
No time to show they cared
No time to be a family
No time to deliver some warmth
No time for anything
That showed love at its core

Wake up without a face
You are gone without a trace
A new world to embrace
Eating breakfast all alone
Sitting all day by the phone
A new world to embrace
A new world to embrace
Eating lunch by the tv
Not believing what I see
A new world to embrace
A new world to embrace
Everyday
A new world to embrace
Everyway
I dine with an empty chair
All I do is sit and stare
A new world to embrace
I sit alone on the bed
Think of things I really dread
A new world to embrace

There are words to remember
Words of hope
Words full of grace
Words that impact on meaning
Words that help
You interface
There are so many words
So many choices of
Where to begin
When your thoughts have words
It’s a sign
That life’s a win
