Each Moment Past





Have you ever stopped to think of where the moments past have gone
have you ever wondered where they all could go
You'll never find an answer if you never wonder why
they can't just pass away somewhere, someone has got to know


Maybe they got lost somewhere just wandering in the dark
they can't just all be gathering in the past
No matter what you do you'll never speed them on their way
and just the same you'll never make one last


When we are young they're in front of us and standing there in line
slowly passing everyday and always one by one
They'll sneak right up then run away, sometimes so far away
the more that pass you so it seems the older you become


The moments fill our memories, they're all we really have
that's where they are, that's where I think they go
Each minute holds a memory and holds it for dear life
through all the days and all the years, up to a minute ago...

In Your Eyes





If I could look into your eyes
All that I may see
Fear could not hold it's disguise 
With reasons all set free

Just a glance and I would know
Taking not a thing
Through the eyes the soul we show
As we show everything

Not a word is better said
Words only what they mean
We are books that we have read
The rest it must be seen

So take a look into my eyes
Take anything you see
Without fear and it's disguise 
We set the reasons free

A Memory of a Friend

              


If up were down and in were out
Where rain won't fall and whispers shout
If good were bad and left were right
With the moon all day and the sun all night

Eyes closed shut I'd see it all
Feet on the ground we'd surely fall
If I don't know I'd have a clue
I'll think of me and look at you

If I were you and they were us
We'd never say what we discuss
I'd always lose if I had won
Standing still so fast I'll run

So turn around and you will see
Close your eyes and look at me
Together we all stand alone
Energy within this flesh and bone

The future comes, the past is gone
As right now moves it's always on
Friends I hope that we will be
When now becomes a memory

Blame




Terms, needs, and legalities 
Then I'll mention taxes for realities
Pollution, drugs, and the economy 
Blame it on you before you blame it on me



Fear, lies, and a new disease
You won't think it's funny when you're begging please
Love, anger, and poverty
Blame it on you before you blame it on me



Life, death, and cruelty 
There is no truth in justice if you're asking me
Money, greed, and the hypocrisy
Blame it on you before you blame it on me
