Life: Here & Now II

from November 07 In some other plan I think I could be the man That gets the girl In that world I'd be The right guy at just the right time I wish there was a fabric of space and time Than I could rip And make you mine I wish there was a way I could teleport and every day hold open all your doors If Albert Einstein has his theory right You'd see me going Beyond the speed of light Using that relativity To be at your side, Get you next to me This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-No Derivative Works 3.0 United States License

As I am lying here with my hand on your back Feeling the motions of your breath Studying your hair How it goes this way and that I know you'll say "It's a mess" And the streetlight's jab Fades into the morning sun And with it the sadness That I'm gonna be on the run I'm the right guy but this isn't the right time Not the right life But it's no surprise This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-No Derivative Works 3.0 United States License

I want to hold your hand Every day, all through the night Make you understand How it's gonna be alright Put yours here on mine Slip them and squeeze Fingers intertwined Come on baby, please Holding your hand Helps me know That we can stand What life throws And before him we can bow low Holding your hand I want to hold your hand Every day, all through the night Make you understand How it's gonna be alright This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-No Derivative Works 3.0 United States License

I can see, here in me, the things you've formed And the pain that began the moment I was torn From the things I've desired from the very start And now I'm left with this aching in my heart I've had a glimpse, of pretense and what you've intended me to be, and the way my life would have ended without your hand to keep me within your borders without your love to put chaos into order Help me see, wash me clean, put in your desires for my future and my past, purge with a fire that will become for me the volcanic caamora And prepare in me this love of yours This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-No Derivative Works 3.0 United States License

draggin my toes through the cool wet sand listen to the pounding waves wondering what it takes to be the man that makes you feel sure and safe

Greater pleasures than I have known Greater rewards than the seeds I sow These draw me ever closer to your love Destiny in you is always redefined Beyond the boundaries of my time Spent here waiting upon your love Keep my friend from all the harms I'm capable of wreaking from afar Protected by your renewing love Draw me now with your potent words Tell me again the things I've heard And teach me the ways of your love This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-No Derivative Works 3.0 United States License

Let me be a refreshing friend A pool of water in the sand In time of need, a strong hand And always a sheltering tree Let me have an encouraging word Untangling quandaries that have worn Your lines threadbare and torn You apart from what you've known Let me be a friend of strength One who will go to any length To make sure that you keep On the course you want to see And always a sheltering tree This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-No Derivative Works 3.0 United States License

Down by the lake pulled up on the shore, my john boat sits, missing an oar an empty coffee can sits on the floor when I go rowing with you under the stars and the yellow moonlight we're gonna row out into the night hugs and kisses when we're out of sight when i go rowing with you come on darlin it's easy to see that you and I and this boat were meant to be though this cruise won't be as tame as it seems you're perfectly safe with a sailor like me dive right in cutes, it's alright to go for a dip in the shadowy light i'm coming too, gonna make you mine when i go rowing with you we'll splash and play till the sun comes up rowin our way into the middle of love there's no stopping, we can't get enough when I go rowing with you come on darlin it's easy to see that you and I and this boat were meant to be though this cruise won't be as tame as it seems your perfectly safe with a sailor like me

Fast as I can I'm getting to you; racing to find out if the promise of love is true. I'vedone it before, run this course--but I want more of the sweetness I knew, when I had you next to me. I don't really know what happened, but I'll venture a guess: If I just cruise along again, I will end up a mess. There in the hot valley, shadowed by mountains red, I want to coast to a stop, rest my troubled head. Jam the buttons, crank it all up, let everyone know you're what I should never give up.

I'm in this valley surrounded by my hopes Worn thin by the yearning to be home With my beloved instead of here alone Waiting to understand Count not my supplication as despair Or lack of love, for Lord, you are dear, More precious than the the life we're Waiting to begin "Unto the hills, I lift my longing eyes To see from where my help arises" And you faithfully come, even as I Wait here for your hand This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-No Derivative Works 3.0 United States License

Sittin here listening to the pourin rain Knowin that my heart will never be the same Too many times and now I'm tired of the games I've played Thinking bout the dreaming that we used to do Knowing all my dreams were really all about you Hopin that the good Lord's grace will see me through This too. Gonna stand up, let the water wash over me Feelin rough, but the downpour will set me free It's enough, to realize that you once loved me And the sun, will someday shine on me Kickin at the water as I'm walking along Splashing my heart to the rhythm of the song Wonderin how things could ever go so wrong So long Gonna stand up, let the water wash over me Feelin rough, but the downpour will set me free It's enough, to realize that you once loved me And the sun, will someday shine on me (bridge) listen to the rain in my heart listen to me play my part see if I can begin to start when you are raining in my heart Gonna stand up, let the water wash over me Feelin rough, but...

start up the coffee maker know you'll do the same later think about it most every day swirl around the green water would have called it a bother but i remember what you said when you told me some things build us up some things tear us down some things get us closer to heaven some things are all about us some things have to be found some things take us to the next level found words for my anger learned how to speak of tender feelings without backspaces went beyond being just some sir learned to be a real mister got to go to new places when you told me some things build us up some things tear us down some things get us closer to heaven some things are all about us some things have to be found some things take us to the next level learned to love like a lover found out how to discover what's goin on inside learned to be broken hearted figured out how it started after wondering why when you told me some friends build us up some friends tear us down some friends get us closer to hea...

I'm in love with the majorette But I play the sousaphone And we all know the trumpet boys get The attention of the pretty ones She's got perfect rhythm She's got the greatest smile And my hearts soars with it When she throws the baton high I'm in love with the majorette But I play the sousaphone When she looks my way, I forget Which foot I start out on She knows how to play with fire And unwittingly, the flame in my heart High stepping around my desire To play a harmonious part I'm in love with the majorette But I play the sousaphone And never ever will I get The chance to take her home.

Back in the day, when we were young, We spent all our time chasing fun Didn't worry 'bout how things got done Or the world around us And every night after our chores We'd pull the shades, shut the doors Travel to where our imaginations would go And our books would take us We learned about love in a naive way Not realizing that it was more than a saying Till the ups of the joys, downs of the pain began to school us But here and now we are, Perhaps a little bit wiser, But less ready to go beyond ourselves and venture out to risk heaven and hell If I could be back in that day with what I know now I'd see things a different way And I would figure out how To better love, work and play If I could be back in the day of youth and innocence I'd dive right in the way of things of consequence Cut 'cross the corn fields To go looking for you Try real heard to see If you'd love me too Back in the day Before things can't be undone before things turn out this way When ...

I watched you smile, embarrassed, about the attention you were given watched you stretch and close your eyes when I looked through the lens

paddling against the Current keeps me standing still banging the door with my head never gets me in pedaling in 12th gear up the hill only puts me on my side asking questions without a word never reveals to me why but your words turn me around you voice puts the wind at my back no matter what you say, it's the sound of you that makes me believe I can wading knee deep in the mud only makes sucking noise resisting the rise and fall of love only shows me no choices but your words turn me around you voice puts the wind at my back no matter what you say, it's the sound of you that makes me believe I can This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-No Derivative Works 3.0 United States License

how can I get you? How can I fully realize How can I get you? God you know I try To hold with one hand the things that I love To grasp with the other the healing that comes When I let you Get to me How can I get you? What does it take to really see? How can I get you? Take you from dream to reality? Have you by my side, and not just in my head Walk with you, take in everything you've said When I let you Get to me This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-No Derivative Works 3.0 United States License

I saw you there in the salon getting your toes and fingers done, knowing that it was for me and that later I could kiss them. I wasn't ready for you to know that I was watching all this, so I stood behind you far enough that you couldn't see me

Holding on to hope Grabbing on to grace Snatching every sound Focused on your face Listening for your laugh Tracking down your touch Thinking of you like that Languishing in your love It's all here in my head Emblazoned on my heart On a tablet that doesn't end In a place not that far From the beginning of the bond that ties me from within that goes eternally on And pulls me to your side again This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-No Derivative Works 3.0 United States License

I'm looking at you baby over these glasses Hell's ice cubes maybe have more chances Than I do to catch your eye You're that kind of girl I'm that kind of guy In my own world In some other plan In some other universe I think I could be the man That gets the girl In that world I'd be The right guy at just the right time In a different story With a different end I'd come running to you And I'd never be leavin I'd have the power to make things right In a different world In a different life I wish there was a fabric of space and time Than I could rip And make you mine I wish there was a way I could teleport and every day Be at your door If Albert Enistein has it right You'd see me going The speed of light Using that relativity To be at your side, Get you to me In some other plan In some other universe I think I could be the man That gets the girl In that world I'd be The right guy at just the right time In a different story With a different end I'...

Unreachable, I want to touch you Unspeakable, I want to say it well Unstoppable, I'm on my way Unbreakable -- that's the lie I'll tell There's no place I'd rather be than close enough to feel the ways your heart moves me and what your eyes speak There's nothing I'd rather say than what takes doubt away and answers the questions raised which keep you far away There's no way I'd rather go Than to quickly follow The path I've always known That leads to rest and langor There's no pain I'll deny than the piercing cry I make when I wonder why I'm not already at your side Unreachable, I want to touch you Unspeakable, I want to tell Unstoppable, I'm on my way Unbreakable -- that's the lie I'll tell This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-No Derivative Works 3.0 United States License

Hey rich girl, at the end of the lane Can a boy like me catch your eye? I parked my old truck down a ways You can't fault me for trying Will you call off the big black dog? Turn off the security? Take my hand and go for a walk In the shade, will you go with me? A fine girl like you, A common boy like me, Can fall in love too, The idea's not so crazy Hey there rich girl, in the window bay Watching me as I walk slowly by Thinking of all the things I would say If I thought I could catch your eye.

When all hope like waves seems dashed When the rocks rip across your soul When the best of life was the love that was last And tomorrow's news is what you can't know That's when you need a strong hand of love Like a glove, one size fits all The travels that your feet have run Haven't taken you so very far So lay it here In my hand Play it near To my chest Watch all your fears Disband And the battle's Armistice When efforts like sagged sails flow When winds blow away your will When treasure you hold is the embrace let go And the impression there keeps you warm still That's when you need a strong hand of love Like a glove, one size fits all The travels that your feet have run Haven't taken you so very far So lay it here In my hand Play it near To my chest Watch all your fears Disband And the battle's Armistice This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-No Derivative Works 3.0 United States License

There's a song a-brewing in my heart An old tune with familiar lines and as I play it out on my guitar I remember that this song is mine A song I sang when I was young A song that made me glad A song that tripped right off my tongue And I sang it every time I had the chance It's a song about the mountains A song about my pond It's a song about the girl next door And all my heart's going ons It's a song that I left in the past taped to the backside of the door It's the reason I have my guitar and It's the song I'll sing once more I'll play it with a down-home beat That will turn us all around I'm hoping it will move your feet And you'll find me here and now It's a song about the mountains A song about my pond It's a song about the girl next door And all my heart's going ons It's a song that I left in the past taped to the backside of the door It's the reason I have my guitar and It's the song I'll sing once more Thi...

beyond the emotion, beyond the body beyond my mind's choice, or what we once thought is the only place on which I can stand beyond it all, love is a command patience, kindness, suffering long only obedience breeds these qualities no rudeness, no envy, no record of wrongs only obedience creates possibilities anger which does not come easy celebration in the revealing of truth preserving when everything ceases after the fading thrills of youth compassion, adoration; things i feel but the task of love remains to be done empathy, desire; these are real only on love's command will they be won beyond the emotion, beyond the body beyond my mind's choice, or what we once thought s the only place on which I can stand beyond it all, love is a command

I want truth plus truth as the sum of my life I want you in me and to get it right I need to see if this is the last night That I wander in pale moonlight If you can, I need your touch once more If you will, I'll hold open the door If we might, I think I will simply hold You more tightly, here in my soul What a friend The truest kind Who runs for help Can leave me behind knowing well I'll be alright in the end I want truth plus truth as the sum of my life The math is easy, even I can get it right To be this sure, when I'm out of time Is crazy I know, but I have to try I believe you, when you say love is long I believe you, when you're playing a song of healing for this treadmill I'm on I"m not that deep, but it's getting strong What a friend The truest kind Who runs for help Can leave me behind knowing well I'll be alright in the end This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-No Derivative Works 3.0 United States License

each freckle there upon you skin reminds me of the days when we played in the sun we were young our sun-bleached hair getting wet these things are with me yet they're far away from today memories of simple things bracelets and rings songs we'd sing together popcorn with movie stars sitting on top of the car and going farther than we'd better watching folks kneel and repent in those gospel tents that Jesus sent at summer's end finding an enduring faith learning a walk of grace and just a taste of love's way each freckle there upon you skin the smiles you give me when you kiss me on the chin i'm memorizing them This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-No Derivative Works 3.0 United States License

"The essential thing in 'heaven and earth' is that there should be a long obedience in the same direction; there results, and has always resulted in the long run, something which has made life worth living." -Friedrich Nietzsche each new day brings the joys of discovering what will be done and said come what may my heart knows the battles begin before I'm out of bed all of the distractions from the the core of what's good and true all of the attractions that take my eyes off you it's a daily grind, but it is mine and it keeps the brew fresh and good and by living with what's been given I create life as I should a life, that upon inspection, turns out to be long obedience in the same direction in coming days I can be sure I will see another escape attempt fraudulent claims can not endure scrutiny of wise and sober judgment it's a daily grind, but it is mine and it keeps the brew fresh and good and by living with what's been given I create life a...

Went to see the shrink today, Find out why I act this way We all know something's wrong But I just keep goin on and on He made me sit down on the couch No layin down like a slouch Asked me questions that were hard About what's goin on in my heart I said I know I'm actin crazy I figure I'm a little insane But I've had just one thought lately And I can't get it out of my brain He took my hundred dollars Told me to come back again Gave me some steps to follow Called it daily discipline Came back a few days later All my homework done He looked over my papers Turned to me, and he said, "Son, You know you're actin crazy; I figure you're a little insane. You seem to have just one thought lately, And we've got to get it out of your brain. He set my fat folder down Pulled up his big old chair Stared over his glasses with a frown, Said "Let's get serious here" You know you're actin stupid; that girl can't love you ba...

I thought I knew me, and I had to think again I thought I was a winner, but now my confidence is thin I thought I had everything under control, but I was in a spin I thought I had you, I guess I'd better think again I was so cocky on that first day, Had all the good words, the cute turn of phrase I could back up and re-group without a second thought I thought I was somethin, now look at what I've got I thought I knew me, and I had to think again I thought I was a winner, but now my confidence is thin I thought I had everything under control, but I was in a spin I thought I had you, I guess I'd better think again I thought I was in this for the long run Thought we'd always be having fun Wanted to see your smile each and every day Thought you'd cheer me along the way I thought I knew me, and I had to think again I thought I was a winner, but now my confidence is thin I thought I had everything under control, but I was in a spin I thought I had you, I guess I'd bet...

Love was built to last forever, That's what the music man said And now it's one of those songs I can't get out of my head That's exactly what I'm after That's the love I think I've found here at heaven's doorsteps waiting to be picked up off the ground To lay aside all that I treasure To love is to do this Every day die to my desire And love without the kiss It's not so much what I am going to feel But more what I'll give away And the love built from sacrifice Endures beyond romance's waning day This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-No Derivative Works 3.0 United States License

don't take that leap just because you're afraid of standing still don't rush in without love because you think you never will don't run away in that direction just to get away from here think about where you're headin and let this truth always be clear you've gotta do it all for the one right reason not for the dozen ways I've hurt I know your heart is in a rainy season and you've got few places left to turn but you've got a love that died once for you and can bring your heart to life again whatever you do, do it all for the one right reason I can think of a lot of reasons why you would want to move along there's some security in giving it a try and you'll know what road you're on you've practiced hard without having things right surely a seed of love ie enough to start on but there's only one reason that matters tonight and will with each new day's dawn you've gotta do it all for the one right reason not for the dozen way...

I know sometimes I go overboard with all the mushy talk I know I use too many words to get the point across I know there's a better way to get to what I'm getting to you're always so direct, so to the point like you know ahead of time where it's going and when you love me, it's just the same way you let me know what I need to do to really show, to unlock love for you to understand the light in your eyes like a command I never realized when you said "thank you" I knew right then I had found the key to all your lovin some things were a puzzle, like a mystery but when you said those words you solved it for me showed me something I couldn't see when you said "thank you, thank you for holding me" you told me what all you could do, if I'd let you try to lead the way, not be a tough guy you said I'd be surprised, and it was true i wasn't sure what was goin on, or if it was ok I'd never before felt this strong or quite this way but ev...

I have a bit of advice for anyone who hears I don't think twice It's the fruit of my years I haven't tried it yet but I've highlighted pages memorized the seven steps for each of five stages but when it comes to us, when it comes to real life I don't have an answer that will really suffice it's so much more complex than I said it would be because in real life, I have to deal with me know the right answers for all the tests can tell you everything "they" say is the best turn on the radio browse to my blog take me on the go in your lil Ipod 'cause when it comes to us, when it comes to real life I don't have an answer that will really suffice it's so much more complex than I said it would be because in real life, I have to deal with me I'm the expert it says so right here but inside I hurt look for the tears 'cause when it comes to us, when it comes to real life I don't have an answer that will really suffice it's so much more ...

i have a solid place, where i can stand and wait for the day as long as I can a place of hope a shelter of peace where my heart knows what my soul needs it's inside your love that I can hide inside your gracious arms is where I find the strength to face the mirror without looking away the courage to feel a tremor and still say i have a solid place my legs are weakened by sitting long my eyes dry as sand on a desert lawn but when I turn to you I think of nothing less than to drink the strong brew of your loving kindness it's inside your love that I can hide inside your gracious arms is where I find the strength to face the mirror without looking away the courage to feel a tremor and still say i have a solid place This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-No Derivative Works 3.0 United States License

She told me once She told me twice I'd have listened if I was half as nice as I was trying to be cool Now she's told me goodbye cos I've been playing the fool After a great dinner Talkin on the couch Didn't have the answer I was thinking about why was I trying to be cool Now she's told me goodbye and I'm still playing the fool fools have no gold, fools have no diamonds, fools play their roles on rickety ladders climbing reaching for the things deliberately out of reach if fools would only listen they wouldn't be such fools but we're not in that position as a general rule every year 'bout this time I think I'll remember how foolishness reigns from January to December there is a simple answer there is a moment in time for a fool to get smart with renewed soul and mind This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-No Derivative Works 3.0 United States License
