Your pretty little footsteps,
The way you fixed your hair,
And how you said I love you,
We knew how much you cared,
Now that you have left us,
There is so much to miss,
Your little silly sayings,
The way you blew a kiss,
Although you couldn’t speak,
The world was in your eyes,
We would have never missed,
The chance to say goodbye,
You know we’ll always love you,
For us there is no end,
Our souls remain united,
Until we meet again…

The darkness is now before me,
I try to close my mind,
Can’t imagine the destruction,
Or the reasons why,
The war hasn’t settled,
In fact it grows quite near,
But before I seek my freedom,
I have to face my fears,
Why can’t there be peace,
In the world we hold so dear,
Do we have to carry on,
With our aggravated sneers,
Why can’t we live forever,
In the shadow of this man,
To deliver out his message,
To hold peace throughout the land,
Seems after all we do,
It’s no better than yesterday,
We keep trying to get ahead,
Always being led astray,
Can we keep this up,
When our bridges have been burned,
Contradictions going on,
And the lesson’s not been learned,
For the open heart is reaching,
And this is what I seek,
Hope, anticipation
For all mankind will meet,
The day when wars will stop,
The world will be at peace,
We’ll all embrace as one,
We will finally… be at peace

Sitting all alone in a smoke filled room,
Where are you now my love, your heart I can’t consume,
Thinking of the past , we used to laugh and play,
Could tomorrow be, when you choose to stay,
Take me as I am, such a silly fool,
To change for you my love, I’d promise you the moon,
Saying I was sorry, said too many times,
Can’t erase the past, can’t cross the dotted lines,
Wished you would have stayed, I’d make it up to you,
Can’t find it in your heart, to save the love we knew,
Take me as I am, such a silly fool,
To change for you my love, I’d promise you the moon,

Tell me how this got started,
The one with rights, dearly departed,
Tell me why you’re open minded,
Black from white, truth was blinded,
Gave up so much to see you through,
What can I say, what did I do,
My heart I opened up for you,
I thought forever you’d be true,
So when the rain begins to fall,
Will I finally hear your call,
To find your truth so deep within,
Shall it be known your truths were sins…

In the heart of what she feels,
Is this lifetime too surreal,
What she knows keeps her safe,
Whispers hints of her faith,
Eyes opened like mirrored doors,
Shut too tight like weathered souls,
Keeps her safe for just a fee,
For her soul’s eternity,
Weave us more your tales and woes,
Will you find which seeds to sow,
In the heart of what she feels,
Is this lifetime too surreal…

Tried to find myself in a good friend of mine,
Tried to hide myself with tears and red wine,
But the more I tried, the harder it was,
Too many people answer questions why with because…
Tried to find myself in a good frame of mind,
Tried to hide myself from the pain of the worst kind,
But the more I tried, the harder it was,
Too many people answer questions why with because…
Tried to find myself in a world full of dreams,
Tried to hide myself from hurt that I wore on my sleeve,
But the more I tried, the harder it was,
Too many people answer questions why with because…
Tried to help out a good friend of mine,
Tried to help him see the light, but he’s so blind,
But the more he tries, the more he will see,
The answer to his questions, will soon set him free

Castles in the sand, bring back memories of you,
Whispers in the wind, your voice, so softly,
Trembled at the thought my friend, to feel you waiting,
While the world was within reach, you stood by…
The sky so blue and pure, up high, keeps me hoping,
That time will soon stand still, like the rivers do,
I’ll call out your name, will you be waiting,
By the castles in the sand, where I met you….
Dedicated to the loving memory of my father…. At home shall we meet again!

Walked these paths alone,
Forgiven what I’ve held,
Felt the light of heaven,
Burnt from flames of hell,
All I’ve been graced with,
This I couldn’t sell,
Soul so worn, so shattered,
Thorns within have gelled,
Seen the sun come up,
Reached up to the sky,
Held you deep within my thoughts
Through worn and blurry eyes,
You faded without warning,
My hopes all disappeared,
How could I go on trusting,
What I held so dear,
Walked these paths of stones,
Stumbled, yes I fell,
Light that shone upon me,
Cast me from these walls of hell,
Now that you have left me,
Alone, I’ve turned so cold,
Keep on thinking of you,
With no respect I’ll hold.

When I see your face,
I feel the life inside of me,
And I hope and pray,
That this is just a dream,
When I hear your voice,
All the questions that I ask,
All the answers that I seek,
Have all drifted away…
Can it be, that you’re gone,
Can it be that I can’t face the truth…
The shadows that have followed me,
Have all now disappeared,
With the hope that one day,
You’ll be near,
Two souls together,
To be as one,
Together for infinity,
Forever to live on,
Take my hand,
Take it now,
Cause I can’t wait another day,
I need you, take me now,
Take my life,
Take my soul,
Take it now,
And the love that waits…

There you stood, tall and proud
Saying all the right things,
How I could trust, you’d be my friend,
You’d take me under you wing,
You warned of others,
I really believed in you,
But you’re a deceiver, your blade grew thicker,
The one you decided to use,
Deceiver, misleader,
With a sparkle in your style,
Deceiver, double dealer,
User in a clever disguise,
Deceiver, low life,
Used me as a stepping stone,
Deceiver with a shallow smile,
Stabbing me to the bone,
Dreamed things up to poison me,
Figment of imagination,
Still walked away with your pride,
As your ruined my reputation,
One fine day, I’ll have my way,
As I still have faith in believing,
So get on your knees and start to pray,
Cause I won’t get mad, perhaps just even,
Deceiver, misleader,
With a sparkle in your style,
Deceiver, double dealer,
User in a clever disguise,
Deceiver, low life,
Used me as a stepping stone,
Deceiver with a shallow smile,
Stabbing me to the bone.
