For Me To See

 

For Me To See


The road is long 

The road is wide

I need you

By my side

When I am tired

When I am beat

I need you

For me to see


This day’s for you

For all you do

Celebrate

Elaborate

When dreams come true

It becomes you

Concentrate

Activate


Ride like the wind

Let the fun begin

Take your time

It’s all fine

Be there with me

Let’s make it be

In the sun

Having fun

Homeless

 

Homeless


Portrait In the window

Visions in the dark

Loneliness in disguise

Benches in the park

 The numbers are growing

Whispering time and again

Media portrays sorrow

The truth is never let in


Listen as the feet shuffle

Hair is falling down

Stomachs are growling

Coats pulled around

Feel the rivers flowing

Raging around their ears

Weather is not an issue

Only outsiders fears


Handouts on the corner

Cardboard in the alley

Walk in kitchen supper

Where hearts do often rally

Feel the winter wind blowing

Wrapped in frozen panes

Still they keep on walking

On and on again

Love Came Walking To My Door

 

Love Came Walking To My Door


Love came walking to my door

Unlike any love I had before

Softly asked could it come in

Said I’ve been looking where you have been


Love didn't even try

To play games with my heart

Love didn’t even wait

For a place to start

This type of love is new


Love came walking to my door

It pushed all the buttons I have explored

Spoke to my heart in ways I felt true

Spoke to my heart in ways I knew


Love came walking to my door

Kept asking for some more

How much does one have to give

Love learns to live and let live?

Crime To Wonder

 

Crime To Wonder


Talk like there is no tomorrow

Have a brow that is so furrowed

Live a life that is filled with sorrow

Beg steal or maybe borrow


Take a look at life

What do you see


What’s yours is mine through theology

No time to refine your ideology

Take a step up from your biology

Not waiting for your apology


Take a look at life

What do you see


Is it a crime

To wonder

What should come to pass

Is it a crime

To wonder

What is first or last

Is it a crime to wonder

About where you live

Is it a crime to wonder

What you have to give


Is it a crime

Is it a crime

It Can’t Be Wrong

 

It Can’t Be Wrong


Every minute of every day

I am in it I’m here to stay

It can’t be wrong


I get so wired am blessed by you

Love all you say and all you do

It can’t be wrong


Let’s build a world together

Let’s build a world forever

Let’s explore every place every time

Body and soul and our minds


A world of dreams a world of plans

Working as one with no demands

It can’t be wrong


Sharing, caring, loving a life

Being in the moment feels so right

It can’t be wrong


Everyday I can’t help but lose control

I love you so much your body and soul

Your mind sets all of me on fire

Filling me with loving desire

It’s My Life

 

It’s My Life


Living life day by day

Cornered in by what has been

Situations gone astray

Disheartened by what I have seen

Want to live my life another way

Want a life powered by my need

Society has its strength

Can’t live off what it feeds

Not trying to make a statement

Not sure how to frame it

It’s my life

I want to see more than is known 


Yesterday was a dream

Today is now moving on

Tomorrow will be the past

Memories are not where I belong

I asked around for some answers

I searched far and wide

Everyone saw a different thing

Only what they see inside

What they see is something special

It is what makes their hearts full

It’s my life

I need to be me not just another clone 


Once it was said to me

It is how I look at life

It is so simple just for them

To see life like everyone else

Drinking and working and playing games

Being what they want to be

I sense there is something more

Something special I cannot see

I don’t mean to be insulting

My thoughts are resulting

It’s my life

I have to live it as it’s meant for me

Dancing Nice And Slow

 

Dancing Nice And Slow


In my arms we are dancing real slow

Talking quite quietly so we get to know

Where we stand in a world of our dreams

Where we see what each other needs


Dancing nice and slow

Taking our time to see

Dancing nice and slow

For you and me


We focus so long we keep dancing on

Long after they have put on another song

Feeling the warmth between me and you

Feeling the spark created by we two


Dancing nice and slow

Taking our time to see

Dancing nice and slow

For you and me


In your eyes I see hopes and dreams

Your arms hold me tighter or so it seems

As the music plays we keep dancing on

Before long they turn the lights on

Stay With Me

 

Stay With Me


When I think of you each and every day

I search my mind for the right words to say

So badly wanting the right things for you

Giving all the love I have I can do


Won’t you come and stay with me

Won’t you come and stay with me

Forever 

Please


When I see your picture you smile at me

It lights up my life so that I can see

I long to hold you ‘til the ends of time

I long to be with you through all we find


Lightning lights up the dark’ning summer sky

I keep thinking to myself my oh my

There is so much warmth created this way

All the love in the world can you just stay?

Love So Strong

 

Love So Strong


Wondrous nights

Filled with wondrous sights

Light up my life

In so many ways


Imposing days

Built in amazing ways

Light up my life 

With no delays


You are here

Being who you are

You are there

Singing your songs

You are everywhere

I look and I see

A love so strong

Cold Winter’s Day

 

Cold Winter’s Day


Winter of darkness 

Settled over me

Blocked my eyes

I couldn't see

But your perspective 

On a cold winter’s day

Was quite sound


Wasn't looking for love

When you came around

You picked me back up

Turned on the sound

Gave me perspective

On a cold winter's day

Both feet on the ground


There is life to live

Oh now I can see

A refreshing change

Come over me

With your direction

Words of love and faith

Happy in what we found
