YESTERDAY

Yesterday is like a flower,
it grows here today.
As the days go past with every hour,
this flower fades away.
One morning comes and
you can't find it,
this flower has gone away.
Months go by and then
one morning
the flower returns again.

MOUNTAIN

I found a mountain in my heart.
Yes~ it looks so endless, but I have to climb it.
I’ve got the hounds of Karma on my trail
I found no room for compassion in the law.
I've got to get busy and find my calling
or face a thousand rifles against the wall.
*BANG*

Time and time again, I'll try and hide
in the mountain,
but through the dead of night
I could hear hounds howling
as they’re coming, oh Lord.

By the time you wake up and smell your coffee
and feel the sun warm up your face,
look through the dawning light,
you might see me
as I’ll be running up ahead.

DELIVERANCE

She is divine….
she walks the shores of history,
studying the waves of change.

The strength of all time
at her feet,
she feels exotic and free
and humbled.

In the distance,
a faint hint of a land
called "far away."

Getting closer in
every day.
Gray as the sky may seem,
she is a light.
