Pride And Dignity
You can say what you will
call me any kind of name
I heard them all before
and though sticks and stones
may break the bones
your words will never kill
But before you go and judge me
look at yourself in that mirror
at every little mistake
you're still the same
and know it's nobody's fault
because only you're the blame
in your own trap you're caught
So look at me and stare
hope you see inside of me
and see things clearer
or should I give you a little more
because there's some things you can't take

A Cherokee Prayer
I pray to the great spirit
guide me through this pain
this world conflicts
show me a world that holds no lies
that treats us like convicts
abandoned by society
in a world we once walked so free
Show me a setting sun
where blood never flows
like rivers turned red
where another one dies
underneath these blood red skies
Guide me through this land so dead
where visions stay in my head
teach me things nobody knows
when this day is gone
and all has come undone

Generations Of Nations
I watched tears fall from the sky
as they fell to the ground
a thousand tears
I seen her cry
as she washed away
a time that keeps changing
and it's changed you and me
still she never made a sound
Another hundred years
will soon pass on by
and generations of nations
will soon come to a fall
as we lose it all
The coming of a new dawn
brings in a different day
what was lost today
can never be found
you turn around

Trying
It seems like years
since you been gone
as I watched you
walk out the door
and I'm still trying
to keep myself
from falling apart
with all these nights
of spending alone
drowning in a feeling
trying to make it through
with a whisper of your name
blowing through the wind
Our love nothing now
but just wasted memories
of forgotten fantasies
trying to heal a broken heart
that wouldn't mend
counting all the tears

Diamonds In The Sky
I wish I could be there
when you needed a shoulder
to lean on
someone to make sure
your ghost' were all gone
And when you needed
to shed a tear
I could be someone
to hold you dear
while you laid in my arms and cry
I know some things in this life
can be such a scare
but i'll always be here
with diamonds in the sky
You touch my heart, my soul
these feeling's I can't let go
you gave a reason to believe

Alone
Down on his luck and no money
losing his wife and family
he walks these streets alone
trying to make it here on his own
with no one to lend a hand
A cardboard box now his home
struggling just to go on
he prays and tries to understand
while all of his dreams are gone
He wakes to the morning dawn
and by a fire burning in a garbage can
he tries to keep himself warm
as the long cold winter lingers on
Saying my life use to mean more
before the world turned me away
and closed it's door
I had it all til it came undone

Footprints Left Behind
Your footprints left behind in the sand
but just like the memories
they get washed away with every wave
that crashes upon the shore
now there's nothing here anymore
that's left for you and me
Everything that we use to share
it is no longer there
there's nothing here left to save
so I just let go of your hand
and walk the other way
trying to forget everything
you use to say
With every dream that disappear's
I wiped away many tear's
trying to forget you
now all that will remain
is a love left in vain

I Give To You
I give to you my only love
the stars that are shining above
the life of the rising sun
and every color in the sky
when it starts to set
I give to you every promise I made
the moon and the evening shade
roses when the dreams start to fade
so you will never forget
I give to you the summer rain
when the autumn leaves start to fall
and when winter slowly passes by
I'll be there like frost on a window payne
to keep you warm and dry
Cause girl you are the only one
that completes this world of mine
when I feel it's come undone

Lost
Days lost in empty colors
Time lost in dark clouds
dreams lost at the end
of some forgotten rainbow
whispers in silent sounds
You opened up your wings
on your head shining bright
you showed your halo
holding out your hand
I held on to yours
Now days are never lost again
my soul flying free
somewhere in the wind
with you, where you took me
Once sorrows cried at night
now no longer do they exist
with what tomorrow brings

Johnny
Johnny use to be a rightous man
who would always stand proud
and when he walked, he walked tall
would do anything for you if he can
he always stood out in the crowd
smile and say, that was just me
Johnny had a beautiful wife
kids to complete the family
mom and dad said he was a #1 son
nothing seemed to bring him down
he always liked to have his fun
Johnny stood above all
Then just like a blink of an eye
with a needle in his arm
Johnny met the devil one night
and everything he had was gone
Johnny lost all of his charm
and now this is his life
