Accidental Paths

 

Accidental Paths


The doors are always open

This is a place to get warm

A place where you can talk

Safe from any storm

A little interaction

It may be all you need

Come in from the cold

This is the place to be


There are accidental paths

There are roads that are unknown

There are times to take a walk

Times to be on your own

Love is in the air

It may be all you need

Come in from the cold

This is the place to be

One Man Did Believe

 

One Man Did Believe


Excitement on the fly 

Relief was on a whim 

To put food back on the table 

To ease their suffering 


Though it wasn’t easy

Difficult to achieve

He pulled his friends together

Live help was conceived 


Not a dry eye in the house


Songs rising from the gloom

Pulling people together

Reaching far outside the room


On that fateful August day

Results were achieved

Stretching beyond their years

Much larger than was believed


At once there was born

Hearts showing with their bands

Making lasting contributions

To support fellow man


All because one man did believe

Where Is The Love?

 

Where Is The Love?


Open windows

Open doors

Open hearts

Yearning more


Wishing love

Wishing warmth

Wishing comfort

Filling decor


In the silence

Love conjured

Filling dreams

Filling lives

Building means


Where is the love?

Where is the name?

Where is the heart?

Where is the claim?

Where is the love?

Where is the aim?

Where is its part?

Where is its claim


Feel the breeze

Feel the need

Feel your heart

Close the door

Looking Into The Sun

 

Looking Into The Sun


What do you think now

What do you feel

Believe in purple diamonds?

You wish were so real

Your thoughts have escaped

Gone on the run

Taking your mind much further

Look into the sun


Your disappearance

Removed a thinking mind

Cultured corners were on the move

For their place and time

Ideas in repair

Visions from afar

Your thoughts have followed their own path

The door was left ajar


Cower by the window

Your heart in a bind

Is it pointless to ask 

In your state of mind?

What made it troubled?

What pushed you away?

I am glad that you are safe

With a place to stay

Road To Nowhere

 

Road To Nowhere 


Give it up 

I heard you shout

You are on the road to nowhere


Please keep up 

You’re filled with doubt

You are on the road to nowhere


Inner blindness

Not willing to see

Inner blindness

Doesn’t work for me

Disturbing darkness 

Fills you eyes

Rain pouring 

From blue skies


Tear it up 

What’s it about

You’re on the road to nowhere


The gig is up

It is a rout

You’re on the road to nowhere


There is life 

 There is love

There is your way

That’s enough

The path you follow

The path you see

Yours to live

Not for me

Love Is Blind

 

Love Is Blind


She was a dream

I was out of my mind

Pursuing her love

That was hard to find

There was no reason

There was no rhyme

When you go in

Love is blind


She was a dream

There was no path

To creating love

That would ever last

Another place

Another time

When you go in

Love is blind


When you go in 

There are things you see

Illusions about 

What love should be

One sided pursuit

 Of possibilities

Can you build love?

Well we shall see


She was a dream

She rocked my brain

Thinking about love

Was so insane

Another place 

Another time

When you go in

Love is blind

Is This It?

 

Is This It?


Is this it

Is this all you got

Is this it

Is this all you want


Running scared

Running on down the line

Running far

Running from the bind


Love was on your mind

Love was running blind 

Love was chasing time

There are ways

There are means

Love will take you places

You’ve never been


Got to stop

Going place to place

Got to stop

Try some interface


What you got

What’s it going to be now

What you want

You’ll find it somehow

Fire and Ice

 

Fire and Ice


Cold blood runs through your veins

Darkness hidden by your eyes

You wander through the city streets

Destined to remain alive


Insights carve out your path

Intellect pushes your soul

Dramatic are the moments

As you seek out a new role


Fire and ice

You are playing with fire and ice


Footsteps tread heavily

Under blood red summer skies

Your fatigue has just settled in

In ways you cannot disguise


Plots set a new motion

The gavel swift and assured

Your honour has been upheld

Your out growth has been preserved

Pianos

 

Pianos


Pianos reach out 

Stroking my mind

Always playing  

So hard to find


Fingers like keys

Splayed out keen

Not really saying

What it does mean


Effort out there

It could pretend

Much on my mind

I learned to bend


Carefully listen

She eases my soul

Held me together 

I know my role
