Poems
What feeling has
come over us
These days…
As leaves are falling to the ground
What feeling has come into our lives
These days…
When your voice seems to be colder
Thrills with each word spoken
Don't think we
ever been here before
We never fell to the ground
Heard the sound, of glass falling
Shattering in every corner of our lives
Like rivers
never flowing to the sea
Like mountains not reaching to the sky
Like birds not willing to be free
So we're falling, we're not willing to see
And it's to late when we hit the
dark ground
What feeling has
come over us
These days…
We are just walking through the haze
What feeling has come into our lives
These days…
When were trying to reach out
But we're trapped in the maze
These days
Oh these days
Don't think we
ever been here before
We never knew the sound
of glass falling
Shattering in every corner of our lives
Like rivers
never flowing to the sea
Like mountains not reaching to the sky
Like birds not willing to be free
So we're falling, we're not willing to see
And it's to late when we hit the
dark ground
Oh one of these
days
These days
When we look around
It's to late when we hit the
dark ground
How early can
you hear the morning call
How soon can you walk when you still have to learn to crawl
How soon can you begin to listen, to songs from different rooms.
So tell me do
you hear the different voices singing to each one of us
Even when the days seems to be full of darkness
Can you hear the music inside of you
Hope can be found
in so many faces
Singing songs from different rooms
Love is there to embrace it
Just listen to songs from different rooms.
How early can
you begin to wonder what's outside of you
Just open your windows and let the sunlight come through
How early can you listen to what is inside of you
Just open your windows and let your song come through
So let them hear
your voice singing to each one of us
Even when the days seems to be full of darkness
Let us hear the music inside of you
Hope can be find
in so many faces
Singing songs from different rooms
Love is there to embrace it
Just listen to songs from different rooms.
Listen to each
other,
Singing different songs
Songs from their rooms.
In the presence of time we can grow
Learn and watch the sun go down
Swim the oceans, we'll never drown.
I love, love the simple things
I love the memories of you and I
And everything that lingers on me
I love, love to be free
In the presence of time
In the presence of time
We can learn to live the dream
Grow upon each other
hang on to each other words
I love, love to hear
I love, love to see
and everything that lingers on me
In the presence of time
The presence of time
is all we need
In the presence of time
We fall in love
Grow and watch the sun go down
The presence of time
Nightlines
I
fear the nightlines
I fear the spell I'm in
when their shadows start chasing me,
I know I just can't win
Once we
lived in night's beauty
when it was the essence of our world
Night spirits moved us
now it drowns me
when your breathing can't be heard
I fear
the nightlines
The darkness that throws me to the ground
The nightlines that once moved us
now got me bound
Silent storms
grow louder everyday,
if they don't find a way you'll never be able to listen to your own heart.
Don't let them rage inside of you, cry out where a heart is.
Inside of you
lies truth
But the tide keeps rushing in
as your running against the wind
Deep Inside you know you can fly
But these voices grow louder everyday
If they don't find a way you'll never be able to listen to your own heart.
Don't let them rage inside of you,
cry out where a heart is.
Silent storms
grow louder everyday
building pain inside of you
Find a way to release what's inside
You know who you
are and what's in your blood.
And only you know which way you want to go
So don't let the tide rush over you
Silent storms
grow louder everyday, if they don't find a way
you'll never be able to listen to your own heart.
Don't let them rage inside of you,
cry out where a heart is.
Inside of you
lies truth
But the tide keeps rushing in
and your running against the wind
Deep inside you know you can fly
But these voices grow louder every day
If they don't find a way
you'll never be able to listen to your own heart.
Don't let them rage inside of you.
Cry out where a heart is.
Cry out where a heart is
From the heart
