Justice Part 1

It was
Just another day
Or so I thought

But madness
Had got me
I didn't even know

I was walking
Through the city
Minding my own
When I saw a man
Hurt someone

I should have known

I should have turned away
I should have gone another way
But my mind
Wouldn't let me

Sleep Safe

Sleep safe
without any nightmares
or any fears
sleep safe

When you wake
in the morning
they'll be no more dark
just sunlight in your eyes

You don't need
to be scared of the dark
any more
because mummy's going to love you
even more

If you ever get scared
at night
look out of the window
at the cold moonlight

A Window Of Time 2

I looked
out of the window of time
where I once saw my mothers eyes

To my surprise
there she was again
She put her hand to the glass
She said put your hand to mine

I couldn't understand
how this could be
Then I realised
I was back as a child

She said son
your going to meet someone
She's going to change your life
She's going to have your child
Just like a lily flower
She's going to make you smile

Let Me Love Somebody

Why do I turn away
When someone shows they care

It's been a long time
Since I've
Had the love and care
Of someone being there

Let me love somebody
Let me show them how much I care
Don't leave me
In this loneliness and despair

Tears of my life fall
As I think of what could have been

Fears of my life
Hide away
Untill someone shows they care

The Beast

I saw the beast
In the sea

He should
Have been drowned
Not set free

He had a brother
An evil twin brother
Their mother
Was the devil
But not like you see

No horns no fire
No cardinal desire

She was just a mother
Who wouldn't see
What she did see
How could she let

Game Over

All the things
I have seen
Don't come close
To what I see
And the hate I feel

For the people who hurt
Beyond belief
They think they are safe
From the law of the land

They think they are free
To do as they please
Sell their drugs
Hurt your kids

With their
Turn a blind eye family
Who would never tell
What they really did see

Sands Of Time

It was a time gone by
a time with no goodbye
but I left you
in the sand and the wind

You gave me your hand
but I couldn't hold on
you was taken
by the winds of time

Sands of time
blowing in the wind
when will they come for me
when will they come for me

I see your soul
dancing in the sands of time
I hold out my hand
but I just feel the sand and the wind
god forgive me

Boy to A Man

Father dear father
I must have loved you

But to hear you
Hurt my mother
Made me want
To hate you

I should have been able
To look up to you like all sons do
But all I wanted to do
Was hurt you

I'd lie in bed awake
And hear my mothers cries
All I could do
Was try find a world without you

We feared you
We fled you

Lady Of The Lake 2

I saw the old lady
again today
the one who lives
across the way

She took my hand
and walked me
towards the light

It was so beautiful and bright
heavenly souls all waiting in a line
but I had to close my eyes
and turn away

The old lady said
don't go back into the dark
it's time to start a new life
with souls of the same heart

I said

Lady Of The Lake

Today I talked
to the old lady
who lives across the way
she said she died
a hundred years ago today

She told me
of the time she saw me
fishing in the lake

I had to laugh

I said
if You've been dead
for a hundred years
it couldn't have been me
you saw fishing in the lake
I'm not even fifty yet

She said
