Collective visions have expired
Hidden insights now revealed
Exposing our constructed lives
Do we agree on what is real
Conspiring minds will keep you tied
To trappings which you can't be freed
Until you call them out as lies
I breathe your breath in death but you will not know
The life and purpose of why you were here
A worn mantra without a chant or song
I'll be your simpleton
Who keeps the spark from catching fire
To see the shroud we’ve never seen
That keeps us calm and docile while
Our enemies control our dreams
What was shown you so admired
I lit a fire to make you see
There’s more to you than what’s acquired
I breathe your breath in death but you will not know
The life and purpose of why you were here
A worn mantra without a chant or song
I'll be your simpleton

Face To Face

I don't want you to leave
I already miss the time we had
And the time that we could have shared
Had the circumstances changed a bit
I know it's hard to believe
That all your years have come and gone so fast
I'll be here while you face your past
Standing by your side holding your hand.
When your tide rolls in and I feel the tears run down my face
And I know that you’re safe in the arms of love without a shame or pain to trace
So don't let your smile go dim; know that it's you I can't replace
If there's one thing I know, that I'm certain of, we will meet again face to face
I'm honored to have received
The gift of clearing wreckage from our past
There's nothing left we had to take to task
Be on your way in peace without regret
Now I know you are freed
From the chains that made you sad
I know change isn't always bad
That's why I know you're in a better place
When your tide rolls in and I feel the tears run down my face
And I know that you’re safe in the arms of love without a shame or pain to trace
So don't let your smile go dim; know that it's you I can't replace
If there's one thing I know, that I'm certain of, we will meet again face to face
I don't want you to leave
I already miss the time we had
And the times that we could have shared
Had the circumstances changed a bit
Now I know you are freed
From the chains that made you sad
I know change isn't always bad
That's why I know you're in a better place
When your tide rolls in and I feel the tears run down my face
And I know that you’re safe in the arms of love without a shame or pain to trace
So don't let your smile go dim; know that it's you I can't replace
If there's one thing I know, that I'm certain of, we will meet again face to face

Did you ever see a way
Did you ever wish for another day
I will not be afraid so I will stay
I will be all right
I just want to hold you next to you me
I will not be afraid to let you go free
In time you will see right in the face of fright
I hope it takes you all the way
Do you fear what’s deep inside
Do you miss my kiss goodnight
I wish I could sleep away the pain
I hope you’ll be all right
Your happiness is all I want to see
I will not be afraid of the day I see you again
In time you will see right in the face of fright
I hope it takes you all the way
Do you fear what’s deep inside
Do you miss my kiss goodnight
I wish I could sleep away the pain
Did you ever see a way

I Am Yours, Always

Somewhere inside I knew
The first time I kissed your hand
That sharing my life with you.
Would make me a better man
We've had our ups and downs
We've done the best that we can
It's time to move forward now
In love wherever we land
I am yours, always
I'll keep you safe at night
I love you now and will beyond the end of days
I am yours, always
We've been apart so long
We waited for our return
No distance to overcome
We held onto lessons learned
No one can say we're wrong
We've past love’s test and endured
Long after we are gone
Our love will forever burn
I am yours, always
I'll keep you safe at night
I love you now and will beyond the end of days
I am yours, always

Turning Tide

You come around
You say you're hurting
Scarred and bound
Your soul is burning
I know too well how long you'll wait there
In pain and still won't make a change
I don't know how
To make you better
I'm worried now
More than ever
Don't want to see how long you'll wait here
For a change of heart grown out of despair
I’ll be here to hold your pain
And when the darkness comes again
You don’t have to be alone
Turn the tide and come back home
The truth comes out
Façade is falling
Crumbling down
The tide is turning
I want to see what steps you'll take here
Toward a life of hope not mired in despair
I’ll be here to hold your pain
And when the darkness comes again
You don’t have to be alone
Turn the tide and come back home
