Me and My Pride

Certain times in my life,
When it's just me and my pride,
We strike up conversations,
Mostly about my life.
Of what i had imagined,
And what i have become.

We talk about envy,
We talk about vanity,
How they're just the same thing,
And how perception is the only difference.
We talk about me,
And we talk about them.

We think of ideas,
And we make grand plans.
To influence far and wide,
Or to inspire the prepared.
We can go on forever,
We try to conquer each other.

We make decissions together,
And then we disagree.
We try to forgive each other,
For the thoughts that were let out free.
We try to heal each other,
For all that we could not be.

It's strange when they say,
I must let go of my pride,
That my pride pulls me down.
But my pride, I know, is important,
Because, for everything that happens,
Sometimes its my pride, and sometimes its me.

Your New God

Here we are again,
Standing at loggerheads,
My worst fear against yours.
Death may liberate me,
But I am here to liberate you.
I am your new God.
My freedom will show you the way.
I am the new idea.
I am your new light.

You can show me what you want to,
But you can’t change my vision.
You can show me the way,
But you can’t send me there.

I see what you can’t,
I do what I want.

And I’ll change your world,
Because I am the one,
I am your new God.

Regret

There I was,
Standing at the gates of afterlife.
Mirrors all around me,
My reflections staring at me.
There were questions I had to answer to myself.

Why did I live the way I did?

Did I have values to fight for?
Did I have beliefs to stand by,
Did I have faith to pull me through?
Could I justify my life?

Did I willingly forgive the misled?
Did I willingly forgive myself?

Why did I make the decisions I made,
Were they for those I loved,
Or for those I feared?

Did I do anything for myself,
Or for those weaker than me?
What made me think they were weaker than me?

Was I ever open to love,
To give and to receive?
Did I let somebody love me,
Did I give somebody hope?
Could I justify my life,
If I really ever lived,
Or only just survived?

As these questions were being asked,
I couldn’t move the slightest bit,
And I had no answers.
Just one regret,
If I had only asked myself these questions,
While I was still alive .

The One

I’ll put my heart on a boat,
And set it out to sail.
Into to the endless ocean,
And I’ll trust you to find it,
On another shore,
Maybe far away from me.

And when you find it,
Keep it safe.
I’ll come looking for you,
I’ll know you when I see you.
The one with my heart,
The one with my all.

My Beautiful Song

I’ve been waiting too long for someone to come along,
Well I’ve been waiting too long for someone to come along.
Now I see you here, would you be my beautiful song.

I’ve been waiting alone, for someone to take me home
Yea, I’ve been waiting alone for someone to take me home.
Would you take my hand and be my beautiful song.

Until you were here, I was barely holding on
Well until you were here, I was barely holding on.
Now would you give me some lovin’ and be my beautiful song.

Now that you’re here, I tell you nothing is wrong.
Well now that you’re here, I tell you nothing is wrong.
Would you set the world right and be my beautiful song.

Crying Blues

I spend day and night crying for you,
Well I spend day and night in the blues.
Oh you gave me the blues baby, nothing gonna do me no good.

I try to feel you right next to me,
Oh I try to feel you right next to me.
Well I try to hold your hand, there’s nothing but the cold air there.

I sit and tremble alone girl,
Yeah, I sit and tremble alone girl.
It gets so painful darling, I’m always out of my mind.

Well nothing can set me right now,
Well nothing can set me right now.
Things have been so crooked, girl since you’ve been gone.

Sun in your sky.

Try and change the world,
That’s your reason to be here.
Achieve all that can be achieved,
Justify the hope inside.

Bring forth the believer in your soul,
Don’t let the heart of your dreams grow old.
Take up old desires of the heart,
Complete those incomplete pieces of art.

Let the spirit never die,
Be the sun in your sky.
If you burn, you may cry,
Never hesitate to try.
Your problems are in your mind,
Better leave them all behind.
If you ever feel you’re falling,
Doesn’t mean you’re stalling.
Get up and start climbing,
Be so bright, you’re blinding.

Let the spirit never die,
Be the sun in your sky.

How Long.

How long can I stay away?
How long can I do nothing?
I know there’ll be a time,
Every bit of me will scream,
Shout out loud to you,
Whisper those beautiful sweet words.

How long can I stay away?
How long can I ignore?
How long can I be satisfied,
Even when I don’t see you anywhere?

How long can I stay away?
How long can I sustain?
When will I cross my limit?
When will it be enough?
I wish I knew,
When my world would lead me to you.

Windows of Dawn.

Nobody that I’d want to know right now,
Nothing that could calm me right now.
I’m out of my mind,
And I could do with more than just
Another change in the sky.

And when the birds fly down,
Or the colours don’t shine,
Take me out through the windows of dawn.

The emptiness is frightening me now,
The void is such that I can’t be proud.
I’m out on the street,
And I could do with more than just
Another home to leave.

And when the trees go brown,
Or the voices aren’t loud,
Take me out through the windows of dawn
