Visions confusing our hearts and our eyes
The past and the future, tangled and tied
Green is not green and blue is not blue
Love can be false and love can be true
Its not what it seems, so how can we know
When to give in body and soul
Buried so deep, up comes a voice
You may have thought that you did,
But there’s really no choice
Surrender your self
Give in to its rise
Just for the moment
Get lost in his eyes

To tame a wild hare at sunrise,
to catch a star
as it shoots across the sky
or stop a tornado
by grabbing hold of its eye.
Yearning of heart
doesn’t hold it still.
Ah, but to love it
and quiet it’s will,
would be to dance with the wind
and make love to the moon,
inhale the flowers,
relish honey from a spoon.
To lay one’s head,
but to rest
in a lap
warm and secure,
cradled in love
forever to endure

Down on my knees, I have been there before
Defeated and broken with no where to go
I won’t go there again, no I won’t
I won’t go there again, if I go up in smoke

Determined and gritty and dryin my tears
Standin up proudly, I’m stuffin my fears
Deep in my throat somewhere there’s a growl
I’m gunna find it, find it
I’m gunna find it, find it
I’m gunna find it, find it
Somehow
I’m gunna find it
Find it
Somehow

Up through my bones and out of my mouth
Comes the cry of survival in loudest of shouts
Just tell me no and I’ll rally and stand
Its time I became my own biggest fan

Determined and gritty and dryin my tears
Standin up proudly, I’m stuffin my fears
Deep in my throat somewhere there’s a growl
I’m gunna find it, find it
I’m gunna find it, find it
I’m gunna find it, find it
Somehow
I’m gunna find it
Find it
Find it somehow

If love never comes from outside I know
It can grow from inside and then start to glow
Like a beacon to others, letting it show

A team of strong soldiers diggin down, diggin deep
If no one comes save us, there’s no need to weep
Just tell us no and we’ll rally and stand
Its time we became our own biggest fan

Determined and gritty
Start dryin those tears
Stand up proudly,
Start stuffin your fears
Deep in your throat somewhere there’s a growl
You’re gunna find it, find it
You’re gunna find it, find it
You’re gunna find it, find it
…………………………Somehow

Behind closed doors it hid
like a ghost,
always there
From behind closed doors it bid
Like the wind
It would moan
Remember me it would cry
Don’t forget
Always know
Don’t regret
Till you know
Why I hide behind closed doors

Oh gypsy soul where have you taken me
You have dug another hole and it has shaken me
There is no time
To even rhyme
The way you run and hide

Oh gypsy soul is it really your goal
To stand alone without a home
Unencumbered,
Tethered to another
Just to hear the silence of the night

Oh gypsy soul where did you go
To be standing all alone like this
Pick up your hurt
And pocket your pride
There is so much more waiting inside

Openin’ your heart
I know is not smart
But smart doesn’t warm you at night
And smart doesn’t glow
Down deep in you, soul.
From another who’s been lit by your fire

Standing alone isn’t really a home
As much as you’d like to believe
You may just rise higher
Feeling that fire
Than you ever could
flying solo

Standing at the helm
of a boat set adrift,
looking forward into the mist.
Hearing a voice,
sounding proud
No, I can’t turn around,
heart starting to pound,
knowing too well
who’s hand
touched this boat
who’s hand
set me afloat

From each day that dawns
and melts into dark
on this spinning ball
we all make our mark,
I give Thanks

For each day in my life
in which I ‘ve been blessed,
bones from my bones
and flesh of my flesh,
I give Thanks

For the journey I walk
in which I know not the path.
with all of its love
and all of its rath,
I give Thanks

From each day that dawns
and melts into dark
for family and friends,
inspiration that sparks,
I give Thanks
