Lets Be
Let’s be the threads
that weave a magic love
Let’s be the golden silence
that uncovers wisdom
Let’s be the Sun
that awakens all hearts
Let’s be the whispers
between two lovers
Let’s be the innocence
in a world gone crazy
Let’s be
Let’s be
from heart
to shining heart
Let’s be
the things
we love
Let’s be the wind
that cools all anger
Let’s be the voice
of an ancient forest
Let’s be the moment
when truth is born
Let’s be a new dawn
for all mankind
Let’s be the final path
to endless freedom
Let’s be
Let’s be
from heart
to shining heart
Let’s be
the things
we love
Let’s be the prayer
that ends all fears
Let’s be the soulmate
for all unclaimed beauty
Let’s be the passion
that opens all doors
Let’s be the renaissance
for a brave new world
Let’s be the neon shelter
for the lost and lonely
Let’s be
Let’s be
from heart
to shining heart
Let’s be
the things
we love
Let’s be the waves
on a moonlit ocean
Let’s be the joy
in a dancer’s eyes
Let’s be the melody
in a timeless symphony
Let’s be the light
that pierces all darkness
Let’s be the spark
for the coming glory
Let’s be
Let’s be
from heart
to shining heart
Let’s be
the things
we love
Let’s be the beginning of
a perfect day
Let’s be the song
on the lips of angels
Let’s be the calm
in the eye of the storm
Let’s be the morning
dew on a blade of grass
Let’s be the definition
of tranquility
Let’s be the bridge to
the crystal city
Let’s be
Let’s be
from heart
to shining heart
Let’s be
the things
we love
They say to Do
They say to do
what you love the most
So, I’m loving you
that’s what I do
Do what you love
You have what
I’ve waited for
my heart sent out
a plea
you answered
the call
Do what you love
You are the jewel
in my thoughts
The truth in
my heart
The joy in my soul
Do what you love
You took away
all of the fear
all of the doubt
now I’m me again
Do what you love
They say to do
what you love the most
So, I’m loving you
that’s what I do
Do what you love
You have made
your nest in my heart
It’s always your home
Our sacred shrine
Do what you love
Do what you love
Meaning of Life
As the meadow lark
sings
and the morning
Sun slides through
the curtains
A thought moseys in
to make my day begin
A thought about you
and your magical ways
It must be magic
because you are
still with me and
my unpredictable
ways
You are light years
ahead of me
but I’m catching
up to you
Because now I
know the meaning
of life
It’s quite simple
but it’s true for me
The meaning of life
is the meaning
YOU PUT INTO IT
So, now I’m giving
each moment all
the meaning I can
“My love for you
my love for me
my love for life”
It’s a rocky road
that I must travel
and I need to
keep my heart
wide open
I look over
to see you
still sleeping
in your faded
tangerine tee
Your face makes
all my thoughts
worthwhile
Living on borrowed time
With you
seems like
I’m living on
borrowed time
Can’t take you
for granted
one day you might
not show up
living on borrowed time
You can be fast
and furious
ornery and
superstitious
But I love you
just the same
There’s no telling
what you are
thinking
or which way
you will turn
When you are
around, it’s like
the circus is in
town
and there’s no
telling when your
tent will fold
I tried living
without you
but I found out
that’s not really
living
there’s only one
road and it always
leads back to
you
I’m living on
borrowed time
better live for
the moment
because the chance
may never come
again
I’d better make it
last as long as
I can
I’m living on borrowed time
Don't be a stranger to your heart
Stepping stones
lead up or down
there are many
paths
Changes
can come and go
they can open many
doors
Memories
can come and go
keep the ones you
cherish the most
Don’t be a stranger
to your heart
Don’t be a stranger
to my love
All I really want is
to shelter you
from the dark
and bring out
the light in your heart
Don’t be a stranger
to your heart
Don’t be a stranger
to my love
Let’s get close again
Let’s remember
how it feels
to walk in the rain
Let’s remember
how it feels
to open like a flower
Let’s remember
all the times
that love flowed
through us
like it would
never end
Don’t be a stranger
to your heart
Don’t be a stranger
to my love
When
your eyes sparkle
my heart dances
When
you smile
I know
I am home
Stepping stones
lead up or down
there are many
paths
Changes
can come and go
they can open many
doors
Memories
can come and go
keep the ones you
cherish the most
Don’t be a stranger
to your heart
Don’t be a stranger
to my love
We are Love
We push away
all of the veils
The illusions fall
away
They break and
shatter
We find out what
really matters
We are love
We are light
There’s no end
only changes
More and more
light comes in
The darkness
scatters
Our minds
recalibrate
our hearts begin
to dominate
Mysteries fade
the obvious becomes
clear
We are love
We are light
There’s no end
only changes
The truth
comes forward
like a gift
from GOD
We become enlightened
as if by magic
Our true self
begins to explore
our true self
We are love
We are light
There’s no end
only changes
Adventures abound
Infinite love
calls out
Our path becomes
real
We are love
We are light
There’s no end
only changes
We are love
We are light
There’s no end
only changes
Thinking about you
Thinking about you
I’m thinking about you
As your face fills
up the sky
As my mind calls out
your name
As your light fills up
my world
As your eyes invite
me in
And my heart begins
to talk
How deep is your love?
How deep is your fear?
The deepest one will
unfold your life
Let it be love
Let it be love
Let love bring
you here
Let it be love
Let it be love
Let love bring
you here
Now that you are
far away on distant
shores
Is the warmth of the
Sun more generous?
Have you mastered
the rhythm of
doing nothing?
Do you sip every
moment?
I sense your
barefoot presence
in my dreams
If this is true
leave a kiss
in my heart
before you go
Thinking about you
I’m thinking about you
How deep is your love?
How deep is your fear?
The deepest one will
unfold your life
Let it be love
Let it be love
Let love bring
you here
Let it be love
Let it be love
Let love bring
you here
The Blues is chasing me down
The blues
is chasing me down
It’s got its sites
set on me
You would think
it’s got better
things to do
than driving all over me
We had a love
that couldn’t last
a love that hits
you hard
and then dumps you
in the past
You stole my heart
and kept the key
Now there’s just a
neon sign…
VACANCY
I call out your name
I watch it fade away
to you, it’s all a game
Your kind of love
pushed me over
a cliff,
a cliff of
no return
Your ghost
is closing in
I can hear it
on the steps
I open the door
to just a cold
and bitter wind
You came out
of nowhere
and nowhere
is where you
have gone
Now
I’m looking hard
to who I used
to be
A road that I must travel
and my heart
is the only light
Along the River
All along the river
deep and wide
We can watch
the water’s journey
From the mountains
to the deep blue sea
Some use the river
for baptizing
Some use it to
drown their sorrows
The rivers always
changing
it’s never the same
Maybe giving me
a message
Sometimes
calls my name
“You need to make
some changes
make them
while you can”
Facing the unknown
is scary
But dying without
having lived
leaves a deeper
scar
I see her by the river
her long hair a flowing
maybe she’s the change
the path I must
follow
If she smiles
I’ll take the
leap of faith
I’ll look into
her eyes
and see if
love is at home
It will tell me
if I’m on the way
All along the river
deep and wide
Maybe today
I found my
bride.
