Make Your Joy

Why walk when you can fly
Why weep when you can cry
Cry for joy or cry for pain
Nothing will ever be the same (again)
Why climb when you can soar
Why whine when you can roar
Roar with rage or roar with laughter
Let everybody know what you are after
MAKE YOUR JOY MAKE YOUR JOY CONTAGIOUS
Why talk when you can sing
Why fall when you can spring
Borrow my joy, lend me your sorrow
We're here today and gone tomorrow
Why wait to see life go
When everybody knows
The way ahead is steep and long
Make every step into a song
MAKE YOUR JOY MAKE YOUR JOY CONTAGIOUS
Nobody can tell you what to do
There’s no one else to be when you are you
Why break when you can mend
Why save when you can spend
Spend a day or spend a lifetime
to find right now’s the only right time
Why sit when you can stand
Why stand when you can dance
Put up your hands and let your hair down
Let us be friends and share the stage now
MAKE YOUR JOY MAKE YOUR JOY CONTAGIOUS

When Skies Betray
03:26

When skies betray blue for gray
And the day's but a sliver
And the thrill of watching the sunset
becomes a shiver
Always
love is
given
even
Never
have I
even
given
And then the night is around
with barely a sound
to signal it's come
If I could only escape
this feeling of dread
invading my lungs
I join my hands and I pray
to one day be delivered
Though it's plain to all but the blind
I am not a believer
Always...

Middle of the Bed

Before I met you I was just a kid
Under the covers was just where I hid
Even the monsters late at night
Would let me be if I kept to my side
There’s no place like the middle of the bed
Nowhere else I would rather sleep (instead)
You taught me everything I know
You said you loved to watch me grow
I couldn't have hidden it if I tried
I was so happy with you by my side
There's no place...
Some things in life are hard
Everyone wants to keep their part
When you can't mend a broken heart
You have to go back to the start
Now that you're gone, I'm going blind
Turn around but I can't see behind
I can`t tell left from right
What is the point of pride
When you are cold at night
I'm tired of choosing sides
Got nothing left to hide

Sweet dreams
sweet child
don't you worry about tonight
I am right here
by your side
Let your dream put the world to right
'Cause tomorrow is a new day
I'll have to find a new way
to get on in this mad world
for your sake to go forward
Sweet child
sleep tight
let me carry the load of light
I am right here
by your side
let my dream put the world to right
'Cause tomorrow is a new day
I'm gonna find a new way
to get on in this mad world
for your sake to go forward

Wrap up

Did I just see you
Behind that glass
A faint reflection
Of my pizzazz
I am uncertain
I'm of two minds
It is a burden
Being sublime…
Where are you hiding
Prince on a horse
Stars are colliding
Without remorse
Behind the curtain
A black hole
One thing is certain
No getting out whole...
.......................
I can't remember
When I last cried
I think my heart is
Completely fried
You come too early
And yet too late
There's nothing left here
To contemplate...
My legs are aching
I'm just too tall
From where I stand
you look so small
Up to your neck in
Reality
That's how you die love
Eventually
