In no time everything’s changed You lived through it, but now it all seems strange Amnesia or briefly deranged Is this what they all call normal? Now you’re in a new time and place Familiar, but running a brand new race What nut set this crazy pace? You sure this is what you signed up for? At the speed of life You’re taken by surprise Like bolts of lightening Time flashes right by At the speed of life You’re taken by surprise Like in dreams and nightmares You wish you could fly Stop, look, listen see where you’ve been Time is now there’s no room for settling Think it want it do it now Your life can be well done some how You hear a voice speaking in tongues Gasping for air as if you don’t have lungs Walking in circles night and day Tell me there is more than just one way At the speed of life You’re taken by surprise Like bolts of lightening Time flashes right by At the speed of life You’re taken by surprise Like in dreams and nightmares You wish you could fly Walking in your shoes You wince at the pinch, the cut and the bruise But at that fork staring you down in the road You’ve got to choose In no time everything’s changed You lived through it, but now it all seems strange Amnesia or briefly deranged Is this what they all call normal? At the speed of life You’re taken by surprise Like bolts of lightening Time flashes right by At the speed of life You’re taken by surprise Like in dreams and nightmares You wish you could fly Wish you could fly Wish you could fly Wish you could fly

I know what you could use A remedy to diffuse Those deep lingering blues You keep holding on to Take a minute to unwind Look in and you will find A calm collected mind That’s still in you And when a pleasant surprise Shoots you right between the eyes What’s gonna be What’s gonna be What’s gonna be your move When the impact is hard Catching you swiftly off guard What’s gonna be What’s gonna be What’s gonna be your move Those fears you carry around Were lost but then you found them Lingering under ground Back from the dead to haunt you A closed sign is on your heart Designed to keep us apart Flip it over to start living completely And when a pleasant surprise Shoots you right between the eyes What’s gonna be What’s gonna be What’s gonna be your move When the impact is hard Catching you swiftly off guard What’s gonna be What’s gonna be What’s gonna be your move Slipping slowly down into your quagmire of fear Staring frozen stiff into life’s headlights like a deer Where, where ya gonna go from here If you stopped living in your head Amongst the doldrums and dread Packed up your present and fled Clear of your past life You could start with a blank page Dream and create a new stage With no cap on your wage Let’s go it’s now or never And when a pleasant surprise Shoots you right between the eyes What’s gonna be What’s gonna be What’s gonna be your move When the impact is hard Catching you swiftly off guard What’s gonna be What’s gonna be What’s gonna be your move Slipping slowly down into your quagmire of fear Staring frozen stiff into life’s headlights like a deer Where, where ya gonna go from here

You brought me to my knees. An eight count was due. While bleeding from within, I knew this too, I’ll get through. Seconds, I failed to breathe. Is that really what you said? Perfect aim on your part, If you wanted me dead. I’m getting up, getting out, Getting on with my life. The best is yet to come. I’m getting up, getting out, Getting on with my life. My right time has just begun! I’ll recover from this. Your afflictions won’t last. A shock to my system. Now my heart’s in a cast. Our one plus one is done. What was is now no more. Walk it off, ‘cause I’m the lucky one, Slipping out the door. I walk with my conscience clean. Confidant as I speak. Fear and insecurity are what, Leave you vulnerable and weak.

That lingering question in your mind Ever present, all the time You search for answers, no answers come Before you blink another day is done And then you start asking again Why when who Will be the one for me Now or then It never comes easily I’ll take your word It’s all meant to be Look both ways then I cross Either way I’m at a loss For words that won’t play evil tricks on me To win the game I have to play by rules I don’t understand And then I start asking again Why when who Will be the one for me Now or then It never comes easily I’ll take your word It’s all meant to be Walk lightly to not break shells Sit still while the confusion swells to peaks Beyond where my eyes can see Now watch and wait while I cross that line That is only mine to draw indelibly Why when who Will be the one for me Now or then It never comes easily I’ll take your word It’s all meant to be See I’ll take your word It’s all meant to be See I’ll take your word It’s all meant to be

My moon, my man So changeable and Such a loveable lamb to me My care, my coat Leave on a high note There's nowhere to go but on Heart on my sleeve Not where it should be The song's out of key again My moon's white face What day and what phase It's the calendar page again Take it slow Take it easy on me And shed some light Shed some light on me please Take it slow And shed some light Shed some light on me please My moon and me Not as good as we've been It's the dirtiest clean I know My care, my coat Leave on a high note There's nowhere to go There's nowhere to go Take it slow Take it easy on me And shed some light Shed some light on me please Take it slow And shed some light Shed some light on me please My moon my moon my man My moon my moon my man My moon my moon my man My moon my moon my man

If You Care 03:28
How long can we live in silence While we turn our backs on the violence When will it be us who is crying The time is now before we all are dying Don’t you see it can’t last for ever? Even though there are those that say never Living high on the hog on the hill As more storms droughts and flames ignite at will But you can see it in their eyes If you open your eyes See the answers are there Change what you drive how you heat and what you eat If you care If your home was on fire What would be your first desire? Imagine your kids cold and hungry You’d go the distance I know so they won’t be But you can see it in their eyes If you open your eyes See the answers are there Change what you drive how you heat and what you eat If you care Is it ever OK to hurt others All mammals, fish, fowl have Mothers Walk in another’s shoes And there’s no doubt in my mind You’d rethink your moves But you can see it in their eyes If you open your eyes See the answers are there Change what you drive how you heat and what you eat But you can see it in their eyes If you open your eyes See the answers are there Change what you drive how you heat and what you eat Change what you drive how you heat and what you eat Change what you drive how you heat and what you eat If you care If you care

You took the time to tell yourself Over and over again What good things you’re not You lived a life convincing yourself Time and time and time again I don’t have a shot You surround yourself with followers Year after year after year That help connect those dots You took the time to tell yourself Over and over again What good things you’re not You lived a life convincing yourself Time and time and time again I don’t have a shot You surround yourself with followers Year after year after year That help connect those dots Are you tired of it yet now? Are you ready to go get What you deserve? Come gather up your nerve In a state of steady waking sleep Dreaming daily on your feet Questioning what’s real In a maze of constant confusion Turning, turning left to right Fear you can’t conceal Reaching for that noose around your neck Tighter, tighter not today You finally feel You are tired of it now You are ready to go get What you deserve Come gather up your nerve Come gather up your nerve Come gather up your nerve

I could have been a sailor, could have been a cook A real live lover, could have been a book. I could have been a signpost, could have been a clock As simple as a kettle, steady as a rock. I could be Here and now I would be, I should be But how? I could have been One of these things first I could have been One of these things first. I could have been your pillar, could have been your door I could have stayed beside you, could have stayed for more. Could have been your statue, could have been your friend, A whole long lifetime could have been the end. I could be yours so true I would be, I should be through and through I could have been One of these things first I could have been One of these things first. I could have been a whistle, could have been a flute A real live giver, could have been a boot. I could have been a signpost, could have been a clock As simple as a kettle, steady as a rock. I could be even here I would be, I should be so near I could have been One of these things first I could have been One of these things first.

Surekeeper** 03:49
It's coming. That moment I've been dreaming of. When it arrives, I'll be thanking something from above. They say I'll know. Maybe even at first sight. My heart will race. I may not even sleep through the night. Every step I take it lighter. Every breath I take is deeper. Looks like the sun shines brighter. Don't let go. Mind's made. Sure keeper. A yearning, I can't resist with all of my might. Time leaves my mind. Only hint, is a glimpse of daylight. Forget to eat. Staying up later than I should. Laughing out loud. Falling like I never thought I would. Every step I take it lighter. Every breath I take is deeper. Looks like the sun shines brighter. Don't let go. Mind's made. Sure keeper. Every minute, Of the day, you are on my mind. The picture perfect, Play mate I've been looking to find. Every step I take it lighter. Every breath I take is deeper. Looks like the sun shines brighter. Don't let go. Mind's made. Sure keeper. It's love. It's love. It's love.

Peek a boo I can see the real you. Peeking out Behind your crystal moody blues. Come and seek Take a chance on this ride A new day To make the choice to not hide Truth, I dare you. Tag you're it I'm running in your direction Simon says what? Listen to your reflection Truth, I dare you. Pick a card Based on luck and senses. Half & half Put down all your defenses. Truth, I dare you.

I was wearing my heart armor When we first met It was solid and sealed. No plans to remove it yet. Heart wounds were healing But still on guard Would I let you in To my back yard? Ready or not Here you were. With the kind of love I'd been waiting for. I was waiting just for minutes On 84th and 3rd For you to arrive To exchange our first words. Hellos and greetings Then we walked on Small gestures of ease Even smiles were drawn. All I could say is Ready or not Here you were. With the kind of love I'd been waiting for. To my surprise Ready or not Here you were With the kind of love I'd been waiting for. This set of eyes Brand new to me A fading past What will I now see? How long will this glance last I was wearing my heart armor When we first met It's now been removed With no regret Ready or not Here you were With the kind of love I'd been waiting for. All I could say is Ready or not Here you were. With the kind of love I'd been waiting for. To my surprise Ready or not Here you were With the kind of love I'd been waiting for To my surprise
