You're the kind of high
                  That addicts are after.

You're worth more than just pretty words.
You're worth the truth in them.

I got bored trying to **** time.

The Doctor will be here soon.
I just have to wait a few more days.
"Hes not coming for you." Shut up!
He's got my discharge papers.
He'll sign them, and I'll get to go home!
I get to leave! He promised.
"You're not getting out of here." AHH!
You know, being in here for a few days,
I thought I'd go a little crazy.
But what's three days shy of ten years?
Look at me! Have you seen
What darkness does to a person?
It makes them mad.
My friends aren't with me anymore.
They got well. But I'm not alone.
Hey buddy. Are you my friend?
Why are you saying
The same thing that I'm saying?
Stop staring at me!
Ten years is a long time
When the only people you talk to
Are the ones that aren't even there?
"We're here." Go Away!
I'm ready to go doctor.
What? What do you mean
Mentally unstable?
What do you mean I have to stay?
No! You promised me! You lied to me!
"Why did you **** him?" Shut up!
"He had your papers." Leave me alone!
"You're never getting out of here now."
*******! *******! Empty promises!
"You belong to us." AHH!
"Say Hello to the nice people."
I don't wanna! I don't wanna!
I don't wanna! I don't wanna!


I'm sorry....Have I said something?

Dear Humans
Where have you gone
We haven't heard
From you in so long

Things sure are different
Than they were yesterday
You've put all your notes
And your telescopes away

We can't rhyme
Trapped in space and time
You've put on another face
And you should see
Our spaceship shine

Dear Humans
We're still here
But we really don't want
To go down there

You always thought
We would destroy
The human race
Our hands are clean
We haven't left our place

Dear Humans
We saw a satellite float away
And it reminded us
To send this message today

We can't rhyme
Trapped in space and time
You've put on another face
And you should see
Our spaceship shine

Dear Humans
We have the blues
Were tired of being
Yesterday's news

What would it take
For you to look into the sky
With tears in our eyes
You can see us wave goodbye

We can't rhyme
Trapped in space and time
You've put on another face
And you should see
Our spaceship shine

I guess there are those
Who live inside their radios
To escape from the pain
In the world that weve all come to know

Then there are those
In need a womans gentle touch
For when life pulls us down
And it all gets to be too much

They hide in their rooms
Hide in their minds
Can't seem to read between the lines
When the hard times fall
You know music says it all

They play it in the bars
Among the broken hearts
In the jukebox on the wall
Where the long shadows fall
You know music says it all

Underneath the stars
The city lights dont shine so bright
So hold on to the love
And hold on with all our might

You may be just
Another face in the crowd
But you can't see the sunshine
If you never come around

They hide in their rooms
Hide in their minds
Can't seem to read between the lines
When the hard times fall
You know music says it all

They play it in the bars
Among the broken hearts
In the jukebox on the wall
Where the long shadows fall
You know music says it all

When you've taken the fall
You know music says it all

When the curtain calls
You know music says it all

What would you do
If you were me?
How many mouths
Would you try to feed
Would you walk on water
To rescue those in need
What would you do
If you were me?

What would you say
About these times
Would you cross over the lines
And put down their signs
Would you make darkness hide
And let your light shine
What would you say
About these times?

Because I'm trying Lord
But I'm just a man
I could use a word from you
To tell me what you had planned
Do they know we're there
Do they know we care?
Help me to see
Everything I'm called to be
What would you do
If you were me


You've done it all
I've heard before
You forgave the rich
And you loved the poor
And they were so amazed
When you calmed the storm
You've done it all
I've heard before

I've heard the story
A thousand times
The lame could walk
And He once was blind
But there's still one thing
I dont realize
Why you would die
When the debt was mine
I've heard the story
A thousand times


Because I'm trying Lord
But I'm just a man
I could use a word from you
To tell me what you had planned
Do they know we're there
Do they know we care?
Help me to see
Everything I'm called to be
What would you do
If you were me

Houston we have lift off
All systems check
We've left the atmosphere

I miss the earth
And I love my wife
It all looks like a blur from here

I don't know how long I'll be
I'm lost in time without a trace
Turn on your T.V and you will see
That it's hard to be a man in space

Houston we have touch down
And everything is A-O.K
I found some rocks
I'd like to give my son
If I wasn't so far away

Houston Brian says he feels like a fool
Because he missed his daughters birth
Here in space were jolly giants
And two normal people down on earth

Houston we have a problem
If you're hearing this it's much too late
We've lost one engine
And the powers gone
It seems with destiny we have a date

Tell my wife I'm sorry
That I won't be home tonight
One day soon I know he'll understand
Why I'm not there to turn off the light

Houston everything is fine
We found our place in the stars
We're really floating on air
And I think we're heading for Mars

Dear God are you able
Are you there
Do you see it?
Do you care?

Dear God
Here I am
Far from perfect
Less than man

We're only human
But we can do much more
Remind us what
We're breathing for

Do not leave us
In time of need
We're your species
We're you're breed

Help us learn
Help us see
Where others hurt
Where others bleed

We're only human
But we can do much more
Remind us what
We're breathing for

Dear God
Show a sign
If you will
Now is the time


We're only human
But we can do much more
Remind us what
We're breathing for

Passion is making dreams come true, even when you're not asleep.

The trick isn't how to live forever.
          It's how to live with yourself forever.

I've been hurt
We all have before
They've pulled the rug
But I come back for more

I guess it's just my way
It's just who I am
You try to **** me
I don't give a ****

I'm a broken lamp
A shattered glass
Will you fix me, will you fix me
I'm a broken heart
A ***** soul
Will you fix me, will you fix me please

They've kicked me
When I'm down
I'm a lost boy
Waiting to be found

I don't pretend
That I don't deserve it
I don't wanna feel nothing
So I'd rather be hurt

I guess it's just my way
It's just who I am
You try to **** me
I don't give a ****

I'm a broken lamp
A shattered glass
Will you fix me, will you fix me
I'm a broken heart
A ***** soul
Will you fix me, will you fix me please

I've been hurt
We all have before
They've pulled the plug
Will you fix me please

I'd rather hold my heart
But I wear it on my sleeve
Will you fix me
Will you fix me please

Hes put on so many faces
He looks in the mirror and
Doesn't recognize his own
Hes been to so many places
He doesn't feel welcome in his home

His footsteps tell a story
Of the life he Left behind
And the world ahead
Seems a mystery
Waiting for the adventure to find

Hes a drifter
Running from his past
But hes got no where to go
He's had a bad name but
You'll never find a better soul to know


He's said Goodbye
To the friends that liked him still
He's going from town to town
But doesn't even know if it's real

He said farewell
To the only thing he's known
A life of misery
Without a bed to call his own

Hes a drifter
Running from his past
But hes got no where to go
He's had a bad name but
You'll never find a better soul to know

Hes my brother
Hes my friend
Though I don't even know his name
And if you see him passing by
You'll be happy that he came

Hes a drifter
Running from his past
But hes got no where to go
He's had a bad name but
You'll never find a better soul to know

Theres a part of me that wants to live my dreams,

When in reality I'd rather still be asleep creating more.

She was only eighteen
How time flies so fast
Living in a smaller town
Where she knew
She wouldn't last

She had dreams
To make it on her own
Dissapear behind the scenes
Looking for the love she never
Found at home

You're a bird spread your wings
Your still onward bound
Destined for greater things
Flying so high and I hope
You never touch the ground
I know you'll find your place
In this crazy world
You're like a whirlwind , baby
And you're gonna give
New York City a twirl

She was gonna paint the stars
On Broadway
While her own light grows dim
Saying Goodbye to the lonely nights
Wishing she were still with him

Finding her name in all the pages
But did you read the news today
She looks in the mirror
And she only ages
Waiting for her chance to fly away

You're a bird spread your wings
Your still onward bound
Destined for greater things
Flying so high and I hope
You never touch the ground
I know you'll find your place
In this crazy world
You're like a whirlwind , baby
And you're gonna give
New York City a twirl

He rents a room
Cast in gloom
Trying to find a voice
That's not his own

Hes growing tired
The medication won't work
Hes still alive
But he's alone

The things we do
For fame and fortune
The shadows we see
Against the wall
And the voices we hear
That scream in our ear
Is enough to make a grown man crawl

He locks himself
In the bedroom
He hasn't seen the
Sunshine for days

And hes trying to find
Some peace of mind
Working on the role
He wants to play

The things we do
For fame and fortune
The shadows we see
Against the wall
And the voices we hear
That scream in our ear
Is enough to make a grown man crawl

He's got a laugh
But hes not happy at all
And he smiles
From ear to ear

Yes they think hes mediocre
The man they call the Joker
But all he needs
Is a kind voice to hear

The things we do
For fame and fortune
The shadows we see
Against the wall
And the voices we hear
That scream in our ear
Is enough to make a grown man crawl

I wrote this song for the beautiful life we lost so Early Heath Ledger. I wrote this song to honor his life and all of the things he had to go through.

She likes her gin and tonic on ice
She's a little classy but I think its nice
Her breath smells like perfume and cigarettes
If you haven't seen her
You haven't seen Nothing yet

She's the life of a party
Yeah she really comes alive at night
An open invitation
That you can't possibly decline

She's a woman
Ahead of her time
She's much too pretty
To wait in line
She's a woman
Without a care in the world
A woman with a will
But shes daddys little girl

She knows what she likes
She likes to watch the sunset burn
She has a sweet side
But treat her wrong
And you'll wish you were never born

She likes to wear her a dress
Every hour of the day
Served redemption from a platter
And the best champagne to wash it away

She's a woman
Ahead of her time
She's much too pretty
To wait in line
She's a woman
Without a care in the world
She's a woman with a will
But shes daddys little girl

Tonight I'm gonna
Have myself a ball
I'm feeling crazy
And I dont care at all

I might be the only one drinking
Maybe I'm a bit too loud but it's all right
Look out world don't try to stop me now
Its Saturday night and I'm coming alive

I'm floating on air
Walking on a thin line
And I feel ecstacy
Swimming through my veins

There's no stopping me
Cause I'm on cloud nine
And I'm gonna have
A real good time today

I've been running on fumes
Most of my life
Ive Never asked
This world for much

But tonight
It's all about me
I'm not gonna stop
Until I get enough

I'm feeling so high
I never wanna come down
I kind of like it
Up here in space

Yes I'm a shooting star
Shooting up the sky
And I'll never be
In one place

I'm floating on air
Walking on a thin line
And I feel ecstacy
Swimming through my veins

There's no stopping me
When I'm on cloud nine
And I'm gonna have
A real good time today

I'd sit alone
And read the times
Those old time stars
Burned out tonight

And all I needed
Was someone there
To let me know
They really care

We've watched and waited
We've seen them all
The bigger they are
The harder they fall

We won't forget you
Dear old friend
Like all good things
They come to an end

So say Goodbye
But we'll still miss you
When the music now
Makes us feel blue

Your time has come
Your moments here
The curtains close
It's another year

You had your chance
You had your time
You made us dance
You made us cry

I'd drive around
Throughout the night
With a pretty girl
Who treat me right

All alone
No where to go
And no one was talking
But my radio

Your time has come
The moments here
To say Goodbye
To all the years

You had your chance
You had your time
You made us dance
You made us cry

You made us all
Believe in Love
You pushed us on
When we had enough

I'm just a fool
On a subway train
Talking about the one
That got away
The people in the station
They know my name
And the girl I'll never see again

I wish that I could cry
But I'd sound so naive
I could Find a way to lie
And say she never loved me

She played my games
And I broke her heart
But she gave it to me
Right from the start
I'm just a man
And I make mistakes
I'm only human
But I'm less than that today

I'm just the fool
Who said goodbye
Even though that's not
What I had in mind
Everyone knows
That I'm to blame
They call it a loss
And say it's a shame

I wish that I could
Fall on my knees
And shout to the Heavens
"Woe is me"
Shame on me

She played my games
And I broke her heart
But she gave it to me
Right from the start
I'm just a man
And I make mistakes
I'm only human
But I'm less than that today

Why do people love
            what they fear the most?

Because it makes them realize
               they are still alive.

Well the same thing happens
On a Saturday
The bar on the corner is full
And theres always a fight
Real late at night
After a friendly game of pool

The men always come here lonely
But they never go home alone
Cause over their shoulder
Is a woman getting older
Who can't get by on her own

And it's another Saturday night
They say it's all fun and games
Yes they get crazy and have
The time of their lives
But a frown never leaves their face

Now across the bar
Is another man
Who comes here to pass the time
Cause he's sad when he drinks
And he starts to think
About the girl he left far behind

And it's another Saturday night
They say it's all fun and games
Yes they get crazy and have
The time of their lives
But a frown never leaves their face

There's a girl in a window
At the coffee shop
And Lord shes seen it all
The way she's sitting looking pretty
She looks like a porcelain doll

Shes seen happy faces
And people without a reason to rhyme
They gather around her
And sit on the floor
To hear her story and forget about life

Can you feel the sunshine
Through the window
Does it ever get lonely at night
Does your heart still feel the cracks
From another owner in another time

There's a girl In the window
At a coffee shop
And man she's been around the world
In every place

Shes been handed down
In her faded blue gown
To try and bring
A smile to your face

Can you feel the sunshine
Through the window
Does it ever get lonely at night
Does your heart still feel the cracks
From another owner in another time

She has her dreams
But no one to tell
Her eyes tell a story of their own
Cause shes seen it all
And shes had a ball

They say goodbye
And they wish her well
They walk away
And leave her alone

Can you feel the sunshine
Through the window
Does it ever get lonely at night
Does your heart still feel the cracks
From another owner in another time

Tonight, I wont be sleeping
In my own bed
I'm growing tired
And see the signs ahead

Tonight, I wont be
In my own home town
Troubles come drenched in fear
Blind my eyes and throw me out

I'm a dreamer
And a drifter
A fighter
But a lover still
I'm an outcast a hoodlum
A gypsy without a wagon wheel
Finding my way
By the stars that shine so bright
And Lord only knows
Where I'll be tonight

Tonight, I won't be
Missing you
You really took a toll on me
Baby it's true

Tonight, I've turned around
And said Goodbye
My shadow walks beside me
I'm alone but it's all right

I'm a dreamer
And a drifter
A fighter
But a lover still
I'm an outcast a hoodlum
A gypsy without a wagon wheel
Finding my way
By the stars that shine so bright
And Lord only knows
Where I'll be tonight

There's an empty stage there in Vegas
Where the piano man wouldn't play
The people are cheering
But they've grown restless
As his Hope's and his dreams fly away

And they sing to him a memory
About a different time another day
Where he could get by
With a glass of wine
And drink all of his problems away

Theres a piano on that stage in Vegas
Waiting for a tune to sing
While he sits at his desk
Both night and day
But no bells ever seem to ring

No it doesn't sound how he planned it
He can't find the right words to rhyme
He picks up the pen and plays the keys
And listens one very last time

But he knows no one will listen
No one will like what he plays
The moment he's been waiting for
Stays just another dream today

And the crowd begins to grow weary
Most of them have already gone
He looks over his shoulder
As his feet grow colder
And says "The show must go on!"

Have we just faded
Into the winds of time
Searching for a new tomorrow
And dying as the setting sun
That once glistened as embers
Now wroghts in the anguish
Of what  was
And what is still to be.
May we look to the time
As we were children and laugh.
With a laughter that will forever
Surround each other  with love.

So I am in the process of writing a script to the sequel of 1951 Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. I have already contacted Disney to get approval to write the script and here is what I have so far. Alice falls asleep as in the first one, but this time, she's not alone. Her cousin, Johnothon goes to look for her and ends up falling unconscience and ends up in Wonderland himself. Alice is wanted for Treason by the Queen of Hearts and finds out that The Mad Hatter and March Hare are sentenced to be beheaded. Can she save them and escape Wonderland with her cousin as she did before?

"Alice's Return to Wonderland"

MARTHA:
Thomas, have you seen your cousin, Alice?

THOMAS:
Why no, Aunt Martha, I haven’t.

MARTHA:
Where do you suppose that girl could be? Have you finished your school work?

THOMAS:
Yes Aunt Martha.

MARTHA:
And your chores?

THOMAS:
They are done.

MARTHA:
Good. Help me look for Alice, will you?

THOMAS:
Yes Aunt Martha.

MARTHA:
I tell you, I cannot turn my back, without her running off. Check the riverbank. You know as well as I do, she spends her time there, nose pressed into those books of hers.

ALICE:
Where am I? Dinah? Dinah! Why, this all looks oddly familiar. What’s this now? Why, that’s me!  Wanted for treason by her Majesty the Queen? (Silently) The Queen. Oh, no! Not again!
CHESHIRE:
And the momeraths outgrabe!

ALICE:
Oh no! It’s you again!

CHESHIRE:
Well it most certainly not the white Rabbit. Which reminds me, now that the “Cat is out of the bag”, what brings you here after such a long time? Chasing more rabbits, are we?

ALICE:
Oh no, no. Those days are far behind me.

CHESHIRE:
No matter, it’s good to see you again. Welcome back.

ALICE:
I only wish I could say the same thing! And I hardly call this a welcome.

CHESHIRE:
Beg pardon? Oh! I remember now! All the trouble you started during your last stay. You’ve become quite famous here in Wonderland.

ALICE:
You mean the trouble you started. And I do not wish to be famous. No matter, I am not staying, I am going home. Straight home! Just as soon as I find my way.

CHESHIRE:
Your way? Have you not learned? All ways here, are The Queen’s way!  And she very well would have had her way with you, had you not woken up when you did.

ALICE:
That’s it!

CHESHIRE:
What? Do I have a flea?

ALICE:
No, no. I’m asleep! I simply must wake myself up!

CHESHIRE:
Oh but you’ve just got here!

ALICE:
I don’t care! I’ve had my share of nonsense to last me one lifetime, thank you.

CHESHIRE:
Well, if you insist. Oh by the way, you’re not asleep.

ALICE:
But I am! I must be!

CHESHIRE:
It’s not practical!

ALICE:
What do you mean?

CHESHIRE:
For example: if you were asleep, you couldn’t possibly feel me do this!

ALICE:
Ouch! What in the world was that for?

CHESHIRE:
To help me prove my point! If you were asleep, you would still be there, not here. Seeing as you’re here and not there, you are not asleep!

ALICE:
Oh dear! This is all so dreadfully confusing.

CHESHIRE:
Oh, I wouldn’t say that.

ALICE:
Of course you wouldn’t! You’re as mad as anything else here.

CHESHIRE:
Including you.

ALICE:
I most certainly am not!

CHESHIRE:
You must be! Otherwise you would never have come here. As I told you before, we’re all mad here. During your last stay, you associated with more mad people than I care to remember.

ALICE:
That’s it! The Mad Hatter! I think I’ll visit him.

CHESHIRE:
I simply would not recommend it!

ALICE:
I think I know what I’m doing. I’ve done it all before.

CHESHIRE:
That was before. Everything is different nowadays. As I said, I wouldn’t recommend it.

ALICE:
And why not?

CHESHIRE:
You won’t find him there.

ALICE:
Well, where is he?

CHESHIRE:
Who?

ALICE:
The Mad Hatter of course!

CHESHIRE:
It doesn’t seem to come to mind. Although, if I were looking for the Mad Hatter, I would try the dungeon!

ALICE:
The dungeon?

CHESHIRE:
Yes, he was sentenced to be executed by The Queen! He’ll really lose his head over this, if you know what I mean.

ALICE:
Oh dear! I’ve got to save him!

CHESHIRE:
While you’re at it, try not to lose your own. Speaking of which, will you excuse me one moment. That’s better. This thing is always popping off. And it’s no wonder! I knew I had a ***** loose.

ALICE:
Why you’re no help at all!

THOMAS:
Alice! Alice!

ALICE:
He’s no help. I suppose I’ll have to do everything on my own, is that it?

THOMAS:
Alice!

ALICE:
Now what do you suppose he wants now?

ALICE:
Well?

CHESHIRE:
Well what?

ALICE:
But didn’t you just call my name?

CHESHIRE:
Of course not! I was busy practicing a harmony. It’s a trio as a matter of fact! Composed by me, myself and I!

ALICE:
I know you called my name!

CHESHIRE:
No I didn’t.

ALICE:
Oh really? Then who was it?

THOMAS:
Alice!

ALICE:
That sounds like, Thomas! Thomas? Is that you?

THOMAS:
Alice!

ALICE:
It is Thomas! I’m saved! Thomas! I’m here! I can hear you! Where are you?

THOMAS:
Alice!

ALICE:
I can hear you! Where are you?

(Alice and Thomas collide into one another.)

Together:
Oof!

THOMAS:
Alice, where have you been? Where are we?

ALICE:
How did you get here?

THOMAS:
I’m not entirely sure. Aunt Martha sent me to look for you, and I found you sleeping against a tree. After that, an apple fell on my head, and that’s all I remember.

ALICE:
Oh dear.

THOMAS:
No, I’m alright, not even a bump!

ALICE:
No, do you know what this means?

(Thomas is silent.)

ALICE:
It means that you are asleep too! And that we’re both having the same dream!

THOMAS:
That’s impossible!

ALICE:
No it’s true! Nothing is impossible, especially here. I’ll prove it!

THOMAS:
Go on, go on.

ALICE:
Well, do you remember the Cheshire cat I always talked about?

THOMAS:
Of course! How could I forget? But what has this got to do with-

ALICE:
Follow me!

THOMAS:
Slow down, Alice! I can’t keep up!

ALICE:
Hurry, Thomas! We’re nearly there!

THOMAS:
What is this about, Alice?

ALICE:
He was just, now where do you suppose he went?

THOMAS:
Who?

ALICE:
The Cheshire cat! Oh never mind!

THOMAS:
Wait, Alice, I’ve got it!

ALICE:
What?

THOMAS:
If we’re really asleep, maybe we can just yell really loud! I’m sure Aunt Martha or somebody will hear us.

ALICE:
Hmm I must say I’ve never tried it before. I guess anything is possible.

THOMAS:
Let’s give it a try.

ALICE:
Very well.

THOMAS:
Aunt Martha!

ALICE:
Mother!

THOMAS:
Aunt Martha!

ALICE:
Mother!

JACK CARD:
Hold it men! I heard voices! This way!

ALICE:
Thomas, hide!

THOMAS:
What on earth for?

ALICE:
Just trust me!

DECK OF CARDS:
Hup hup hup!

ALICE:
You see?

THOMAS:
Are those, cards?

ALICE:
They are not your ordinary deck of cards!

THOMAS:
This is not normal!

ALICE:
Nothing here is! Wait, shh!

JACK CARD:
They stopped! Have a look around, men!

ALICE:
On the count of three, Thomas, we’ll sneak out of the bushes and make a run for it. Ready?

TOGETHER:
One, two three-

JACK CARD:
Well, well. What do we have here? Why, Alice! Isn’t this a pleasant surprise? Take a look at this men, she even brought a friend.

THOMAS:
Leave my cousin alone you oversized playing card!

JACK CARD:
You’re both just in time for tea with the Queen! She’s been expecting you.

ALICE:
No, thank you. I’m sorry but I haven’t got the time. We are going home! Straight home!

JACK CARD:
But what is your rush? You’ve just got here! We have some catching up to do.

Ah you can have some fun
And do the jitterbug
But you can never
Get enough of

The long way down
They call it the long way down
The long way down
Gather round and do the long way down

Well now "The twist" is over
And summers gone
Just "stroll" on over
You dont belong

It's now the long way down
Yeah they call it the long way down
Ths long way down
Come on now and learn the long way down

(Heres how it goes now)

A new dance
Has made its way
You shake your hips
Both night and day
You shake your knees
Drop to the floor
Jump back up
And wiggle more

You do the long way down
You got it baby do the long way down
The long way down
Now you're doing the long way down

Now I know the hop
Was out of sight
With a girl
Who treat you right

This is the long way down
Shes doing the long way down
The long way down
Come on boy do the long way down

I ain't talking bout no "twist"
That kind of dance gives me the fits
This ain't no "mess around"
Everybody's doing the long way down

What game would have such an impact on a man's own soul?

"Life."

My dearest love
Where are you bound?
Stay and hear
My dismal song so pure!

Is it by fate
We are drawn together?
By no means!
For fate alone cannot endure

Tho as long as you have captivated
My soul in dreaming
My eyes enchanted by maiden fair

I beseech you look no further
To gander at love as no other
For you will find
Nothing there!

What is love?
A forbearance tried tho true!
Where is love if not the present
An emotion grand and Heaven sent
Stay and hear the rhythm
Of my heart
That beats for you!

Was it cold 
Standing in his shadow
No hand to hold 
Praying for tomorrow 
Things get better
Than they were the day before 
Did your arms get tired 
From picking yourself 
Up off the floor

Did you ever have dreams 
To run away
To start a new life
In another place 
With a different name 
This great big world 
Has so many roads to choose
Until you turn around
And realize it's only you

Shes a woman 
In a man's world 
A mother and a warrior 
But she's still
Daddy's little girl 
She's a woman
Trying to make her way
Looking through the window 
And waiting for the day 

Did you ever think of me
Did you ever see me passing by 
Could you see the stars 
When you looked 
Through the window at night 

I hope there comes a day
When your free to make a choice
I hope you're doing fine 
But I'd love to hear your voice 

Shes a woman 
In a man's world 
A mother and a warrior 
But she's still
Daddy's little girl 
She's a woman
Trying to make her way
Looking through the window 
And waiting for the day

When I think of those New York lights
Friday nights
Taking a stroll
Through the city streets alone
The days are never warm
And the people are cold
Sitting there freezing looking for a hand to hold
It's gotten a little crazy
You can hear it on the news every day

The lights dont shine
As bright as they say
In New York City
And a rose can't grow
Between the sidewalk cracks
The marquee won't save your soul
And once you sell it
You can never have it back

I never realized the passing faces
Of different races
Walking down the Avenue every day
Captivated by the different sounds
The rumours around
The city that never sleeps
At least that's what they say


The lights dont shine
As bright as they say
In New York City
And a rose can't grow
Between the sidewalk cracks
The marquee won't save your soul
And once you sell it
You can never have it back

Release your hold from me
Turn me loose and let me fly
Over hilltops green
I'll soar with wings on High
The world below me
Is a picture frame
While I'm in a place
Where everyone knows my name

I have a home
On the other side of the skyline
Saying Goodbye
To a life I never knew
Birds like me are meant to fly
Towards a place
That's much bigger than I
Just on the other side
Of the skyline
There's a world I've never seen
With smiling faces
The grass is always green
On the other side

My eyes that look like yours
Are two great mirrors
To turn the pages
And open doors
May there always be wind in your trees
And the stars to light your way
I hope there's a breeze in your sails
With the smell of a bright new day
I can't tell you anything
That you don't already know
I have a home in the sky
And the bible tells you so



I have a home
On the other side of the skyline
Saying Goodbye
To a life I never knew
Birds like me are meant to fly
Towards a place
That's much bigger than I
Just on the other side
Of the skyline
There's a world I've never seen
With smiling faces
The grass is always green
On the other side

The lights dont shine
As bright as they say in New York City
And a rose can't grow between
The sidewalk cracks

If I looked inside your heart
What would I find 
Would I see the pain 
And the dreams you left behind 

Who would I see 
A child or a mother
An innocent mind
And a so like no other 

Did you have any where to go
When the lights at the end
Of your block didn't glow
Did you have any where to hide
When you were scared
While the storm raged inside 

If you looked on the mirror 
Would it be who you hoped to see
The lines on your face tell a different tale
While the stars point out your dreams

Did you take a chance in New York City 
Where the Marque lights shine so bright 
Or did you try your hand in Vegas
Before your money was gone
And they threw you out into the night

I'm not a rich man
I don't have a hat above my door
I dont have a bed with silk sheets
Or fancy shoes to throw on the floor

I may not have enough
But what I have is mine
I'm not anybody special
But I'm still in my prime

Who are you
When no ones looking
Where are you
When no one's there
Are you a king on top of the world
Or a pawn without a care

I dont have a house on a hilltop
But I can see the lights just fine
And the stars that always show
With the birds above the sky

I may not have enough
But what I have is mine
I'm not anybody special
But I'm still in my prime

Who are you
When no ones looking
Where are you
When no one's there
Are you a king on top of the world
Or a pawn without a care

I'm somewhere
Trying to get nowhere.
I'm caught between
Halfway in
And good and gone.
I'm somebody
Trying to be a nobody one day.

We dig our own graves
By how we choose to live our lives.
Without passion we are already dead.

Love is a movie.
          You'll want to see what happens next,
                 But you'll hate the end.

May you always know
Who you have over your shoulder
May you have a hand to hold
When nights get colder
May you always give more
Than you receive
May you always believe

That theres still hope for the world
Remember all the young boys and girls
And the people on the streets
That you passed by today
Be a light in the dark
Let our love be the spark
To let them know that everything is okay
If we want to see tomorrow
It starts with us today


May you always have
A reason to live
May you always forgive
When its hard to forget
May you always be kind
To the end of the final stone
May you always be a friend
To those in need
May you always believe

That theres still hope for the world
Remember all the young boys and girls
And the people on the streets
That you passed by today
Be a light in the dark
Let our love be the spark
To let them know that
Everything is okay
If we want to see tomorrow
It starts with us today

Maybe I should stop
While I'm ahead
Throw in the towel
And make my bed


After everything
That we've been through
I cant imagine life
Without you



I can't say goodbye
I was born to be
More than just
An ordinary guy
And its really no surprise
No I can't imagine why
I don't want to live
An ordinary life

I was doing fine
Out On my own
Then I found you there
And took you home


After everything
That we've been through
I cant imagine life
Without you


I can't say goodbye
I was born to be
More than just
An ordinary guy
And its really no surprise
No I can't imagine why
I don't want to live
An ordinary life

I was busy chasing dreams
Not everything was what it seemed
All I did
I did for fame

I had my ups I've had my downs
I showed my smile but hid my frowns
Just so you
Would know my name

But I won't forget
The time I shared with you
When the road was long
You always helped me through

I have cheated I have lied
I even made my family cry
Please dont forget my name
I have stolen I've been high
Thank God I made it out Alive
When the lights go down
All your left with is shame
When you have no soul
Then what's the point in fame

I could see all the signs
I could read between the lines
I could tell
It wasn't the same

To the drugs I said Goodbye
Cause I never got that certain high
All I know is
I'm to blame

But I won't forget
The time I shared with you
When the road was long
You always helped me through

I have cheated I have lied
I even made my family cry
Please dont forget my name
I have stolen I've been high
Thank God I made it out Alive
When the lights go down
All your left with is shame
When you have no soul
Then what's the point in fame

Yesterday about 60 years ago, a plane crashed in the snow in Iowa, taking the lives of three legends. Legends that many of you remember (no pun intended) Buddy Holly, Richie Valens, and J.P "Big Bopper" Richardson, also taking the life of their pilot Roger Peterson.  Holly, Valens, and Richardson had a major place in the heart of music, also in the hearts of millions. Let us not forget February 3, 1959, The Day The Music Died. Gone but never forgotten. They still live in the hearts of the millions of their fans. I wrote this version of Candle in the Wind specifically for this purpose and I have sent it to Sir Elton John to see if he will use it.

Goodbye Rock N Roll
Though we never
Held you at all
You were the tune
That placed itself
When our souls
Were torn apart
You called out to our youth
And you whispered
Into their brains
You set them on a stage
And you made them
Change their name

And it seems to me
You lived your life
Like a candle in the wind
Never dimming with the spotlight
When the new age came in
And I remember
When I heard you
When I was just a kid
Your candles  burned out long before
Your legend ever did

Many legends weve lost
All these years
Throughout the change
All our favorite superstars
But the song
In our hearts remain
I remember when you died
Oh the press they had to say
That you went down in February
With the others on that plane

And it seems to me
You lived your life
Like a candle in the wind
Never dimming with the spotlight
When the new age came in
And I remember
When I heard you
When I was just a kid
Your candles burned out long before
Your legend ever did

I woke up this morning
Long before the sky so blue
The sun came out for me today
But it forgot to rise and shine for you

No more sorrow
No more pain
No more tomorrow
It all ends with you today

Rest easy I wish you well
To a beautiful soul
That's been through Hell
You're in a better place
And I shouldn't cry
But I can't help but wonder why
You spread your wings
And learned to fly today

It would have been just an ordinary day
Seeing your smile
I would have been okay
But I leaned over and kissed your face
Now I'm trying to wipe the tears away

No more sorrow
No more pain
No more tomorrow
It all ends with you today


Rest easy I wish you well
To a beautiful soul
That's been through Hell
You're in a better place
And I shouldn't cry
But I can't help but wonder why
You spread your wings
And learned to fly today

Bad news on the horizon
Another penny turning up
When life pulls you under
And you think you've had enough

Just keep your body moving
When your scared to see another day
And your giving what you got now
Make it through another way

It gets a little lonely
Yeah it all gets to be too much
They kick you when your feelin down
When all you need is a tender touch


It's a human thing
Pressing down ******* you
It's a human thing
Baby what you're going through
It's a human thing
Pressing down ******* you
Just a human thing
Let's see what you can do

When you ain't got nobody
Life can get so cold
And you hear the rolling thunder
It gets just a little too old

Yeah it's hard to keep moving
Standing out in a crowd
And you need a hand to help you
There's plenty of us around

It gets a little lonely
Yeah it all gets to be too much
They kick you when your feelin down
When all you need is a tender touch

It's a human thing
Pressing down ******* you
It's a human thing
Baby what you're going through
It's a human thing
Pressing down ******* you
Just a human thing
Let's see what you can do

Rise ere, the dawning light.
              The lame wolf eats no lamb.

Life Has no sense of adventure
                     If you do not take the risk
To wake up in the morning.

Mona Lisa
Do you hide behind your smile
Mona Lisa
Can I stop and stare a while
Your pain is a work of art
But there is no way to disguise
Your broken heart

Is it lonely
On your side of the glass?
Are you happy there
Or has the feeling come to pass?
Do you know a strangers touch
From a helpless romantic
Who doesn't know that much


Mona Lisa
You will never feel the warmth
Of a bright new day
Mona Lisa
You can never smell a field
With fresh cut hay
Mona Lisa
You will never know my name

Is it lonely
On your side of the glass?
Are you happy there
Or has the feeling come to pass?
Do you know a strangers touch
From a helpless romantic
Who doesn't know that much

He's brave while hes
Holding his teddy bear
Though he doesn't understand
He doesn't know the people there
But his mama's there to hold his hand

Momma makes everything better
More than a lollipop could ever do
You can see it in his smile
He's a Hunter
Hey Kid this one's for you

Be a brave little teddy bear
And close your eyes
For you are loved
More than you realize
Go to sleep and soar
Into yonder skies so blue
A song is from the heart
And this one's for you

He doesn't like the bracelet
But it really makes him cool
He pretends hes a robot
With all the wires
They put him through

I know hed rather be home
Watching cartoons on T.V
Or playing with his own toys
In his world of make believe


Be a brave little teddy bear
And close your eyes
For you are loved
More than you realize
Go to sleep and soar
Into yonder skies so blue
A song is from the heart
And this one's for you

I remember how I found you
In a cold area all alone
Longing for your voice to be heard.
I picked you up and brushed you off
And went on to show you to the world.
Many people were unappreciative
While others were quite glad,
As they saw the voice of reason
And the talent that you had.
I remember how I had you to myself
You were a great idea,
And a greater friend.
How I wanted to put you on a shelf,
And protect you until the end.
I wanted to show you to everyone,
Let them hear what you had to say.
Many people brushed it off
But you were the reason
Some people were still alive today.
We went on to share a message
Of hope through good
And bad times ahead.
Our story moved through those in need
And even got others out of their bed.
You are my friend
And I'm glad I found
What other people lost
Or could not seem to find.
I cherish the bond we have
And depart with the life we left behind.
