She Looks to The Future V1
She looks to the future, but not too far ahead
The meaning of life don’t mess with her head
She has no fear of what she can see
She knows what she wants and what she wants is meShe looks to the future, she don’t look back
She wields her beauty, she knows what I lack
She calms me down, she’s the earth I feel
She knows what she wants and what she wants is me.She looks to the future, she sees her nest
She plans the colours, she wants what’s best
She wont be tied down, she wants to be free
She knows what she wants and what she wants is me.She looks to the future, with her feet on the ground
She’s no empty vessel to make the most sound
She’s gentle and good when her progress she sees
She knows what she wants and what she wants is me.There’s such comfort in such certainty
She knows what she wants and what she wants is me.
Its such a tonic in an age of uncertainty
She knows what she wants and what she wants is me.
The Struggle
Invictus
Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds and shall find me unafraid.It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.William Ernest Henley
“Revel in your time”.
It seems apt.
Meaning
I saw a cat poised to fight
A singing bird in June
With total focus and muscles tight
His form and function in tune
He was living in each moment
A perfect, effective being
At one with the earth & firmament
At one with his role in his scene
As perfect… as a child’s love
As perfect …as the morning dew
As perfect …as the light above
As perfect… as the earth when new
He had no reason to worry
He had no reason to ask
He had no reason to be sorry
His meaning was in his task
Stars Go Blue
Dancin’ where the stars go blue
Dancin’ where the evening fell
Dancin’ in your wooden shoes
In a wedding gown
Dancin’ out on 7th street
Dancin’ through the underground
Dancin’ little marionette
Are you happy now?
Where do you go when you’re lonely
Where do you go when you’re blue
Where do you go when you’re lonely
I’ll follow you
When the stars go blue
Laughing with your pretty mouth
Laughing with your broken eyes
Laughing with your lover’s tongue
In a lullaby
Where do you go when you’re lonely
Where do you go when you’re blue
Where do you go when you’re lonely
I’ll follow you
When the stars go blue
The stars go blue, stars go blue

Dorian Gray
In your face I suddenly saw
Your anger, explosive and raw
I was hurt by every word you said
You showed me a picture, Dorian Gray
He has lived all my life with me
He worries about my survival for me,
He’s an unruly, anxious child hidden away
He’s not understood, Dorian Gray
But he hijacks me as I travel
I fight, I lash out and watch all unravel
I wonder later as I’m hurt and I pay
Where did I go wrong, Dorian Gray
Ignorance is not bliss, it hurts and it wrecks
Knowledge and understanding are necessary steps
To conquering yourself, to the end of your days
He must be managed, Dorian Gray.
Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door
Mama, take this badge off of me
I can’t use it anymore
It’s gettin’ dark, too dark for me to see
I feel like I’m knockin’ on heaven’s door
Knock, knock, knockin’ on heaven’s door(4)
Mama, put my guns in the ground
I can’t shoot them anymore
That long black cloud is comin’ down
I feel like I’m knockin’ on heaven’s door
Knock, knock, knockin’ on heaven’s door(4)
