Wayward Son
When the world is too much,
Your suffering a convenient crutch,
If life presses down too hard,
Change comes too slow, or to fast,
In every race, you come last,
Then I smile because,
You're coming back to me!
Sadness in the rain,
Your pain is my gain,
Tears and desperation,
Feeding my elation,
You hang on with all you've got,
Trying to hold on too tight,
Peace comes to those who might,
Light a candle in the night,
Sadness in the rain,
Your pain is my gain,

Skeleton Coast
Footmarks in the sand,
White bones across the land,
Your sea is wild,
Your sands barren of life,
Wind swept, a land in strife,
My soul desolate as your beach,
Heart and mind out of reach,
Loneliness my only companion,
Leaves me without desire,
A lone Seagull reaches higher,
Isolated from my brothers,
Are my bones to join the others,
Oh where to go, what to do?
Will my treasures sink into the sand?
Lost forever to your land?
Rejected, I leave you with your decision,
Choices made, in derision,

Crystal Heart
My heart is in your hands,
Paper thin crystal ready to break,
My love when will you awake?
My mind drifts to foreign lands,
Tears burst, washing away the desert sand,
Memories lost and found,
Tears wash away the ground,
Your voice, the only sound,
My heart breaks all around,
Life's dream lost but new life found,
This ship will never run aground,
Lights twinkle on a far shore,
Promises of a life to adore,
Please love, don't shut the door,
Memories lost and found,
Tears wash away the ground,
Your voice, the only sound,

Dark Brother
Your flame of love, light flickering,
Slowly dying,
You hate us all, my brother,
But you hate yourself even more!
Oh... why such a lie,
Would you rather die,
You... make me cry,
Won't you please try?
It started with a harsh word,
A moment of self doubt,
Growing with each betrayal,
If you hit me will you be okay?
If you could see what I see,
Your perfection,
In my reflection,
You are going in the wrong direction!

Everything In Life Is Dear
To me it is clear, everything in life is dear,
Those that creep and crawl,
Even those that are too small,
Larger than life, even the tall,
Perfection lies within us, one and all,
In long forgotten times, there were great crimes,
We had to build emotional walls,
Armour to protect our tender souls,
Keep out the hurt and pain,
So now what have we gained?
The world has changed, time to let go the chains,
Remove that which binds our hearts,
Open up closed minds,
And when it rains pain, we look to each other for gain!
So remove the bandages over your emotional wounds,
Let the sunlight heal us all, no one needs to crawl,
When the last one has awoke,

Mont Choisy
When she looks at me my heart it aches,
When she looks away my heart it breaks,
Your eyes green like the emerald sea,
Give me your all and it will be alright,
And we will make it into the Light!
Your heart is fine,
It will be mine,
I feel your love,
Descending like a Dove,
From mountains green I hear your call,
To valleys deep you make me crawl,
Your smile it melts my icy heart,
Darlin' please be mine tonight,
And we will make it into the Light!
Mauritian beaches set our love in their sand,
When I feel weak, your love makes me a man,
Honey please make me whole,

Desert Sands
My heart bleeds through my tears,
A river meanders through the desert sands,
From pain life springs forth,
An Oasis appears from the barren land,
Where will you be in my time?
Will you care, will you dare?
Will you see the Dove, will you give your love?
Will you be mine?
For 40 days I have waited in the sun,
Lips parched, my heart drained,
I see the light, my mind is bright,
My head is spinning, my eyes are dimming,
One word, one glance is all I need,
Your smallest gesture removes the doubt and brings the drought,
I wait, but will you be too late?
There can be no fire if you're a liar,
The Universe is patient, time is lost,

Missing You
It's been a while since I saw your smile,
Never seen your face but I felt your grace,
From a distance your gaze,
Your eyes, they warm my heart,
What a great place to start!
In my heart, always,
Always a place for you,
A quiet space,
What a beautiful place!
Lost in time, no rhythm nor rhyme,
Until at last,
We find the peace we deserve,
To live, breathe and to serve,
So when you think of me,
Remember to feel free,
Live life through freedoms door,
Know that I will love you evermore,

Shout
Man, life has just gotta change,
You're feeling low, got nowhere to go,
Your head is on fire and they say you're a liar,
What are you gonna do?
How will you ever break down,
The pain that's all around?
You get up every day to try again,
Where will it end, will your heart ever mend.
You say that you feel nothing,
Time stands still,
Nothing can give you a thrill,
You live your life underground,
Trying to be profound,
When they realise it is not you that lies,
That should be no surprise,
What a time to be alive, just hope you can survive!
While you listen no one talks,

Inner Peace
The wind gently lifts my hair,
The sun on my cheeks, my only care,
I stand on a lone hill,
Peace within, my only thrill,
Where are you now? I'm not blind,
Got heaven on my mind!
You may say I have lost my way,
Thats ok,
I found the way out of here,
No longer seem to care,
What if you are lost? I'm not blind,
Got heaven on my mind,
What is there that you need to do, today?
Why can there be no delay?
What is it that just cannot wait?
This is the time to be great!
