The Promised Land

Won’t you take me to your promised land where rain would fall like stars
Where plastic smiles and shadowed hearts are left behind afar
Where tulips frost with dewy drops, and secrets are kept between our fingers
-shared when our palms, they open to the sky
No pain is forced to linger here as dreams were made to fly
Let your troubles melt like falling snow
Upon your supple tongue
Let your breath be woven through the wind and kiss me while you’re young
Find yourself in wholesome and holy grace with that faint light dawning at morn
While bathing in the mysteries of open space and treasure that moment you were born
Won’t you take me to your promised land where rain would fall like stars
Where plastic smiles and shadowed hearts are left behind afar
Where tulips frost with dewy drops, and secrets are kept between our fingers
-shared when our palms, they open to the sky
No pain is forced to linger here as dreams were made to fly
May cages bust and metal burst
May these words now gently quench your thirst
For our bones are not stones, not limbs made to break
But limbs to find home in their flesh and blood at stake
And without much haste and further ado
I find your music drifting into song
And once more I see into you and where it is we belong
Oh once more I see into you and where it is we belong
Won’t you take me to your promised land where rain would fall like stars
Where plastic smiles and shadowed hearts are left behind afar
Where tulips frost with dewy drops, and secrets are kept between our fingers
-shared when our palms, they open to the sky
No pain is forced to linger here as dreams were made to fly

Late night kisses and summer swoons
Spinning me around, oh, under the moon
We held on tight and let go so fast
In the blink of an eye, it ain’t gonna last
Strike me bright, and shake my heart
Kiss my light, bring me into your dark
Light my candle and hold my flame
No this won’t ever happen again
You threw my back up against a wall
We made love at Evermore, battled to the fall
You threw my neck back into the air
Well you bit my lips and you grabbed my hair
Strike me bright, and shake my heart
Kiss my light, bring me into your dark
Light my candle and hold my flame
No this won’t ever happen again
The pendulum swings from dark to light
I’ll spend my whole life finding what’s wrong and what’s right
So beat my drum and lick my lungs
Keep my heart racing, I’m forever young. 2x
Strike me bright, and shake my heart
Kiss my light, bring me into your dark
Light my candle and hold my flame
No this won’t ever happen again

Lover's Dream

Uncanny sweetness made from a honey bee
Oh sweet darlings woven like a honey dream
Your love like the sun rise, the meeting still new
Your kisses as starlight, and your tears taste like the morning dew
Your roots connected deep
together your branches reach naturally
Oh stand together as one plus one made three
Bonded in freedom, unbound by chains,
Revel as a mirror to you, bathed in the summer rains
Relate as the aspen trees, intimate to no end
She’d look at you and say,” baby, let’s always be friends.”
Oh, stand together as one, stretching toward the sun
Your roots connected deep, and your branches reach naturally
Long last together, alone, together find home.
This is the symphony – a bridge from the between
A tapestry worth weaving
Truly the lover’s dream
Oh truly, the lover’s dream

Eat Your Heart Out

There comes a time when the cord gets cut
And your skin it touches the air
The morning sun may burn your eyes and no one is there to hold your hand
Trust in the way your toes dig the ground
The way your arms climb to the clouds
Eat your heart out Mr. Fantasy ‘cause you’re the only friend that you’ve got
Your troubles are normal your daddy may say
So learn to love one another
The rebel is noble in her own way even if she winds up on an empty road
Trust in the way your toes dig the ground
The way your arms climb to the clouds
Eat your heart out Mr. Fantasy ‘cause you’re the only friend that you’ve got
Imagine yourself a wide open sky and your body the heart of the sea
It’s never too late to open up your eyes
Jump into cold water you live and you die
Eat your heart out Mr. Fantasy cause you’re the only friend you’ve got
Eat your heart out Mr. Fantasy “cause you’re the only friend you’ve got

The flame in dark night
Oh I am pure light
Star bright with wings to fly embrace the blackened sky
With flesh of feet rooted firm into the ground
Wind spirit listens, carries song and sacred sound
Dance with me mother, your heart beat in my bones
Dance with me father, I am coming home
Dance with me brother, now is the time to pray
And dance with me sister, now’s the moment to play
With flesh of feet rooted firm into the ground
Wind spirit listens carries song and sacred sound
Dance with me mother, your heart beat in my bones
Dance with me father, I am coming home
Dance with me brother, now is the time to pray

Well the sun’s still shining and the sky’s still blue,
I do look funny and I’m a mirror of you!
We can make silly faces and watch the sunrise
We can fall to our knees and smile with our eyes
No, we don’t always need words to say what we mean,
Cause I know that you’re grouchy when you’re face is turning green!
And, I know what it likes when life tastes too sour
And if we want to change, give it less than an hour
For impermanence, is the name of the game
And LAUGH AT YOURSELF, especially when you’re feeling ashamed
For the rain may fall and flood your home
Your dreams may shatter and you may be left all alone
Still remember that, the sun will shine and let it happen to be so
Get off your own ass and on your way you will go!
To a whole new morning- surprise your own heart- give your head no warning…
To the faces you will see, to the places you will be, to the spaces that rest oh in the between
For the joke is cosmic- it’s funny cause it’s true, and don’t be so serious!
Be rubber not glue.
And the sun’s still shining and the sky’s still blue
As the joke that’s on me is the joke that’s on you!
