Still Fallen
  
        It was love at first sight
Though I couldn’t believe it was true
I kept telling myself that it couldn’t be
But I was falling for you

We dated for a year and I made one
Promise that I knew I could keep
So I took a chance to risk it all and I
Walked to the edge and took that leap

You made me forget all of the times
My heart was turned to stone
You gave me your heart and told me
You’d never leave me alone

And now after all these years
I still find it hard to speak
I still get butterflies in my stomach
And my knees still get weak

Our love is a blessing and it’s stronger
Everyday without any signs of stallen
The spark that ignited the flame and it’s
Still burning bright and I’m Still Fallen

Kryptonite

       I thought that I was invincible
Breaking hearts without caution or yield
But I wasn’t going to fall in love, no
Not with my love deflection shield

Every time I felt myself fallen, I’d search
The depths of love so profound
I’d put the brakes on and skid to a stop
And I’d just turn myself around

But as fate would have it somehow, like
With fall the color of the leaves change
The law of averages would take love
And put it on center stage

Every time you would come near
I found it difficult to see and speak
I’d feel my stomach turning and I’d
Lose my strength and my knees got weak

That’s when I knew what it was like to
Be Superman with his Super Human Might
And I realized that I didn’t stand a chance
Because I knew you were my Kryptonite

A Me Without You

     Let’s take a look at the facts of life
There’s no up without a down
There’s no front without a back
And for every smile there’s a frown

There’s two sides of every story
There’s the truth and a lie
With every birth there’s death so with
Every Hello somewhere there’s a Goodbye

There’s two sides to every coin
There’s a heads and a tails
We can’t have epic triumphs
Without epic fails

When it comes to sports we
Can’t have a win without a loss
And we could never have Grace
Without Jesus and the Cross

There’s no Heaven without Hell
There’s no pleasure without pain
With everyday of Sunshine we
Know eventually there will be rain

There’s no negative without a positive
They say opposites attract, it must be true
Because Baby oh baby there could
Never be A Me Without You

Alas It Was All In Vein

     When it comes to Love we all know
That it can be like the toss of a coin
It can give a heart so much joy
Or it can be like a kick in the groin

When it comes to love we can
Feel the magic with every kiss
We can be on cloud nine and
Live a life of beautiful bliss

Or it can be like pulling a tooth
Or a thorn in the side
It can harden a heart and from it
You may wish to run and hide

For me personally I am living the
Disney Land Fairytale blissful life
I’ve been a lucky one and I’ve been
Blessed with a beautiful loving wife

It makes me sad to hear of love gone bad
And someone is crying tears like rain
Such as the two blood vessels in love
But Alas It Was All In Vein

My Shattered Heart

     My life is a miracle, I’ve fought
Many battles, I’ve got many scars
I’ve spent a lot of years in my own
Prison behind impenetrable bars

I’ve been my own worst enemy
I thought I had to make it on my own
I’ve always done my worst damage
When I find myself alone

Life has always been so hard to face
When I’ve been so broken
And words have been so hard to find
And usually have gone unspoken

Now time has passed me by
I’m slowly beginning to feel my age
As my life’s journey begins to enter
It’s last mortal stage

But by fate and Grace I’ve been saved
I can reflect my feelings in my art
And I can live my life while Jesus puts
Back the pieces of My Shattered Heart

Friend

      Some men come from nothing
But they can still be a friend
I’d take a bullet for you
And I’d bleed until the bitter end

I’m no Angel but I’d face the
Hurricane and the driving rain
And I would not back down from a
Fight with the murdering brother Cain

If we were stranded in the desert
Wilting in the blistering heat
I’d give you the last of the water
As I lay dying at your feet

Once there was a time I was drinking the
Whiskey and Rye, I began to drown
I wasn’t the person I am today and I
Thought the Devil wore the Crown

I’m a born sinner and that’s a fact
I still love my Rock & Roll
But came an Angel from Heaven above
To save my mortal soul

Now I know Jesus wears the crown
And I’ll fight the enemy and never bend
I’m proud of the man I’ve become
And I’m proud to call you Friend

Kool Aide Kids

        Well unfortunately it’s that time again
Those political adds are dominating
I don’t care what side you’re on
And I don’t care who they’re nominating

I’m not here to sway your opinions
I’m not trying to tell you how to vote
But I am here to give words of caution
To give you something to take note

The media will feed you only what they
Want you to see and hear
They are servants of the Devil
And the Devil thrives on your fear

I just want you to do your own research
That’s my true and best advice
Don’t be so steadfast to stand your ground
Because you might be standing on thin ice

They want you to blindly accept their lies
They don’t want you to do your own thinking
They’re just here to supply the Kool aide
And the Devil smiles as we keep drinking

So please stop and turn off the noise
Don’t replicate like the Plasmids
You don’t need the sugar to decide
Please don’t be the Kool Aide Kids
