I came here on a dreary morning
and knelt down by your grave.
You always meant so much to me,
Strong, defiant, brave.

Even after saying goodbye,
My love for you still grows.
and I can feel your presence with me
through these cemetery rows.

It was ******* all of us,
Until the end you tried to fight it.
I know you need an epitaph,
but I can't bring myself to write it.

Now, I promise you my dear one,
even though you are departed.
You can count on me to finish
all the amazing things you started.

The funeral was a small affair,
Just as you requested.
A remembrance of a too short life,
with a lot of love invested.

And after it was over,
When they laid your coffin down.
I stayed there it seemed forever,
sitting on the softened ground.

Finally I found the strength,
to wipe away my tears,
Pick myself up off the dirt,
and set aside my fears.

I don't like you not near me,
Everything seems so unfair.
Life feels cool and empty now,
when I don't have you there.

Your room is as you left it.
Now that may seem a little much.
But there's nothing in there at the moment
I even want to touch.

There's no medicine to heal my heart
I don't like being all alone.
So every Sunday I come by the graveyard,
and spend awhile by your stone.

Endless Rivers

Come with me, my darling,
The night is waiting.
Let your hair down,
Shed your weary shell,
And let the moonlight dance along your skin.

Come with me, my darling,
The sand is white as can be.
And the water feels perfect.
Together we'll wash the stains away,
And we'll swim on until the stars meet the sky.

Come with me, my darling,
To that place beneath the trees.
Where a gentle breeze is always blowing,
And tranquility takes hold.
It's just you and me.
Come into the water and let it overtake you.

Come with me, my darling,
Where you and I can be together.
Strong, fearless, united, unstoppable.
I'll kiss you and you'll kiss me,
While the water crashes over us.

Come with me, my darling,
Let me hold you close.
The clouds will dance above our heads,
and then heavens will rejoice at the beauty.
and when it is over, the tides will carry us away...

Invincible and strong in the moment
Making the dream come true

Triumphant over every enemy
Heralded as one of the best
Excellence personified

Kinetic, frenetic, dominant
Inescapable force of nature
Nothing will stop me now
Going the distance

Outrageously agressive
Fit to **** them all

Total global *******
He who has no equals
Endurance forever lasting

Greatness is my mistress.
Angels sing my name
Man among men of the highest order
Eternal does he reign.

You won't find me in a busy crowd,
But not because I'm scared.
You won't find me at the party place,
But not because I'm boring.

You won't find me at the concert,
But not because I don't like music.
You won't find me in the airport line,
But not because I don't like to travel.

I'll be by myself walking the sandy beach,
Staring up at the stars on a cloudless night,
And wondering what treasures they conceal.
If you know I'm there...

Just leave me be and let me roam,
I'm in my zone, my place alone.

You won't find me at a packed restaurant,
But not because I'm not hungry.
You won't find me at the street parade,
But not because I'm not festive.

I'll be by myself sitting on the rocks,
In the shadow of a great waterfall,
Watching the mists dance between the trees.
If you know I'm there...

Just leave me be and let me roam,
I'm in my zone, my place alone.

You won't find me in a crowded house,
But not because I don't appreciate family.
You won't find me at the football game,
But not because I don't like sports.

I'll be by myself hiking through the mountains,
Staring in awe at the massive peaks before me,
Greater than any show man could ever conceive.
If you know I'm there...

Just leave me be and let me roam,
I'm in my zone, my place alone.

You won't see me at the protests,
But not because I don't support the cause.
You won't find me at the New Year's bash,
But not because I have no hope for the future.

I'll be by myself in a rustic wood cabin
Somewhere in the rolling hills of Appalachia.
With a fire and a good book to keep me company.
If you know I'm there...

Just leave me be and let me roam,
I'm in my zone, my place alone.

There’s a lack of information
On the current situation
That I hope does not cause me to go astray.

There's no evident solution,
In this air of revolution,
Just another dreary, cloudy, gloomy day.

You might be surprised to learn,
That the things of which I yearn,
Are beyond the measure of a simple man.

For I seek not destruction
But a path to reconstruction,
Unearthing all the wisdom that I can.

So if you see me in your nation,
As I wander God’s creation,
Be sure to give a smile and a wave.

There’s a purpose to my mission,
And any man in this position,
Would understand the very things I crave.

I may be travelling quite far from here,
But I promise you my love, my dear,
I will return one day before too long.

So send a little love my way,
For I miss you greatly every day,
Even when I'm lost amid the throng.

Let go, Let go,
I've got you.
Let go, Let go,
It's okay.
Let go, Let go,
You are loved child
And I'll never be going away

Let go, Let go,
Do not fear now.
Let go, Let go,
And find peace.
Let go, Let go,
Trust your heart now.
My commitment to you
Will not cease.

Let go, Let go,
Wipe your tears off.
Let go, Let go,
It's all right.
Let go, Let go,
I am here now,
And you don have to
Stay in this fight.

Let go, Let go,
I will catch you.
Let go, Let go,
You're protected.
Let go, Let go,
and I'll give you
The nurture and love
that's expected.

Let go, Let go,
I'm here waiting.
Let go, Let go,
Don't hold on.
Let go, Let go
It is finished.
And I'll carry you home
To the dawn.

I've got a date on the top of the world tonight,
The sky is brilliant and clear,
Spreading my wings, such glorious things,
Across the horizon appear.

Altitude 20 000 give or take a few miles,
As we dance atop this old earth,
The great sun gives way to the star filled foray,
As a new blanket of night's given birth.

In the distance grows a dim mass of grey.
Storm clouds are waving hello.
Nasty things in the air, they don't even care
That I've got my places to go.

A calming voice says there's nothing to fear,
Everything is under control,
But then there's a shake. a shift and a quake.
A dip and twist and a roll.

Old mother nature staking her claim,
stronger than the power of man.
But I'm here to stay, she won't beat me today,
That was never a part of the plan.

Soon the great landscape grows closer below,
with a slick and gradual dive.
At last the descent or whatever was meant,
By the mysteries that fill up the sky.
