The greatest mystery left unsolved
No science no logic knows
As the great mystery now unfolds
The phantom known as love

The children know it but can't prove
No one on earth could lose
The greatest cure for all men's ills
The phantom known as love

It's in our hearts and in our souls
But can't be touched or moved
It's there for all eternity
The phantom known as love

It's often said its all we need
And though that we cannot prove
Without it we are shadow beings
The phantom known as love

It is the key to happiness
It is a gift from above
It's been here longer than you know
The phantom known as love

We're all actors just looking for the right costume
We're all puppets just looking for the right strings
We're all clowns just looking for the right masks
We're all rabbits just looking for the right holes
We're all people just trying to fit in

Mending broken teacups
Mending shattered glass
A little spot of glue for here
A little more to make it last
But can I ever fix what matters most
Is it possible to mend a broken heart
Probably impossible like mending broken promises
I wish there was a way of mending broken pasts
Like trying to keep a cloud together
Or making forms from dust
But there is a God out there who made impossible work
Once you believe in him impossibilities start
First he forgives you
Forgives all of your messed up past
Then he starts to work on us
And mends our broken hearts

I can't handle this kind of pain anymore
It's so repetitive like the waves kissing the seashore
It's so deep like the pearls lying on the sea's floor    
It's like a thousand years of this or more
Will rip open the wounds I had before
I can't close my eyes without seeing the expression you wore
And when I see it I can feel your hands as they tore
My heart aches but this pain is worse than any I ever bore
I can't handle this kind of pain anymore

What I was never brave to say
I never meant to hurt you
I know the pain you felt that day
I wish I could turn back time
But the cogs of the clock don't work that way
I wish I could undo all the wrong
But I hear you have a different tune to play
I never meant those dreadful lies
But I thought I would hurt you anyway
So I'd better do it now so you'd know
That I hurt those close to me afraid that they won't stay
Everyone abandons me unless I hurt them first
But I realise I only hurt more that way
So can you ever forgive me?
I hope it isn't too late to say
I'm sorry for the lies I told that day

She calls to me while I'm sleeping
She cries to me for help
And yet for the many souls in her keeping
Who was there to help?
I look on her with wary eyes
Her form of curving blue
Her hair like billowing clouds of sky
And wish that if only I knew
What dark and dreadful deeds she Keeps hidden in her depths
And wonder where her heart could be
And how she justifies so many deaths
And yet it is her song of sorrows that lulls my mind to sleep
And so I leave in her care all my secrets to keep
And now and then I hear in her waves The softest sounds of happiness
And wonder if the children gave
Their laughter to her sadness

My life before my eyes saw you
Was dark and empty and like a dying coal
My heart was hard and burdened with rue
My blood was cold from my dying soul
I had my things and friends 'tis true
But the happiness from stuff grows old
From whence happiness came I never knew
The only thing I felt was the creeping cold
Joy seemed to me as like a bird, in it came and out it flew
"Things always get better" I was told
But it seemed that to happiness was an everlasting queue
Some said to take a risk and risk being bold
Was all it took, as well as risking my life too
But I cringed and tried to hide in gold
Surely happiness From wealth was due?
Then I felt myself squeezed into a mould
And that was when my eyes saw you.

For every tear I cried
Was a tear you wiped aside
Your arms would wrap around me
And in perfect bliss would I be
For every tear I wept
Was a tear that You treasured and kept
When You find me weeping
You draw me into Your arms for keeping
For I know that when I mourn I find your perfect peace
Blessed are they who mourn for when You come our tears will cease
Like a Mother with her children's fear
You call to me and draw me near
And when You touch my broken spirit
You treat my wounds with tender care
When I was shivering in the freezing cold
You collected my tears of gold
So, in your arms rest young and old
Kings and paupers, slaves and I
Within the Father's loving hold
You have called me Precious Daughter
And I have called you Loving Father

An iron cage entraps him
Barred from all light and beauty that ever his eyes looked upon
Life has left him far behind in the billowing blackness of a time long gone
By fire he was made and by fire he once again shall rise to take his throne
But that too would be a punishment to his soul
His eyes once bright with the fire of youth now doomed to see no more
The sun that he used to greet each morning as he woke from his troubled slumber he greets only with the groan of unbearable pain
For in his kingdom of eternal fire and darkness there is no sun to bath his pallid face in light or to return to him that beauty of which he once boasted.
Now instead of hearing the songs of birds at first light he only hears the sound of a thousand souls perishing in anguish.

Faith
It holds me up
It keeps me on my feet
It is steadfast and sturdy
It keeps my head above the
Waves of doubt that wash over
It bears me up on its strong shoulders
And when all else is lost I find my faith
It is imoveable and capable of much
Once developed my faith can never flee
It flies on wings of fire that can never let me down
But is not just any faith, but the faith in the one who made me
The one who knows my name
The one who loves me dearly
That can withstand the trails.

You knew what would happen
I'm sure of that
I heard the scraping as you sharpened
I saw the knives
But the blinding smile you always flashed
It always fooled me
But that day I remember as good as ash
Bleak and useless
You stung me to the very core
The pain was acute
I couldn't bare it anymore
But then I saw a bird of white
So small I almost missed it
It was then I grasped at hope and began to fight

Your words drove into me like the dagger at your side
They pierced through me into my very heart
But your face stayed calm like the waters in a lake without tide
You seemed indifferent to the pain that you caused as my soul was torn apart
You showed no sign of expression under that gilded mask
But I'm sure that mask is your prison
You hide behind it and then strike out fast
Your words eat away at you like poison
To hide your dying self you try to **** others instead
But for every person you wounded you killed yourself again

Love makes me sick
Not the bad kind of sick
But where you're my only cure

In our back yard there's a big big tree we like to call him Chest he's a chestnut tree and he really is the best, and in that big old tree is a little fat robin with a bright red breast and with that little robin is his mate and his nest! And that is the story of our big tree Chest he's a chestnut tree and he really is the best!

White lady of the lake what makes you oh so Devine?

Sitting there in the water like earths own sweetest daughter!
Into thy silver throne where now thou sit thy silken leaves all dusky around thee knit.

White lady of the lake what makes you oh so Devine?

She sits in water colour rich as wine. Her golden crown sits on her head glinting in the sun giving her all the glory of one.

White lady of the lake what makes you oh so Devine?

She sits in winter water with a wavy shawl of vine, waiting for the sun to come light the sky all up. Waiting for the sun to come fill her silver cup.

Sometimes I lie awake in the middle of the night
And call images of you and I to sight

And then I long to hear again your voice
And as I dream of you I think I hear a noise

But then I remember that I was only dreaming of our goodbye song

And then I start to wonder, did I ever meet you or was I dreaming all along?

Christmas means many things
When I think of Christmas I think of light
The great star that lit up all the night

The candles that shed their warm glow over the face of our Lord
And the greatest light who came to earth for love's great fight

And when I think of Christmas I think of pretty things
I think of tinsel and of wreathes and Christmas decorations

I think of all the lighted windows
and all the scarlet berries hidden in the snow

And when I think of Christmas I think of warming hearths
I think of many things along many of thoughts paths

But most of all the miracle that made the cold depart
Because of Jesus Christ, Christmas thaws the heart

Under the mountain
Into the stream
Glowing like sunshine
It must be a dream!
A river of gold
Mountains of jewels
Palaces and castles
Kingdoms of old
Battles first cry
The clashing of swords
Rivers of blood
Mad men on hoards
The banners fly high
The victory's won
The battle is over
But the cycle goes on
Thousands of years later
War rages on
The battles not over
But neither's the song
Mans greed is his noose
It entangles his heart
And when he keeps pulling
It pulls him apart
But children still play
And the sun will keep rising
You say we want peace
But I say you are lying
You're fighting more wars
You're gaining more gold
You're just repeating
the cycle of old
Peace is here
It comes from your heart
No need to fight others
Just remember your part.

To all the friends I lost along the way
It was you who shaped me into who I am today

You made me happy and when you left I was sad
But now I look back on you, I don't think our parting was so bad

You left a legacy within me
And now I can become who I'm meant to be

I couldn't have done so without you
And I hope you think the same too

Our paths may never cross again
But since I met you my life has never been the same

And now I wonder where you are
And I hope that from where we met you have traveled far

I know that you are changing people's lives
And so I search into my heart archives

And there I find the love I used to feel for you
And then I see a light, a tiny spark of blue

The love is still alive because of all you've done
And so I search for another special someone

To take a place in my heart
But there is still a small locked up part

Where the spark of love I have for you
Can never die and never bloom

Until the day that we may meet again
Whether on earth or in heaven

Now I sign this letter and say
I love you! To all the friends I lost along the way.

Time is like a bird that flies so fast
Time is future, present, past

It takes too long
We think it's wrong

But time will tell
We must wait

For time is that which we cannot earn.
