approaching 4am (the dream of love)

yes, here i am again, just past 2am
reaching out into the silent night
stretching out in time, dreaming in a rhyme
wishing on a star for words to write

wishing for the words that touch your heart and bring you here to me
wishing for the words that paint a smile deep in your soul
wishing for the words that let you know no greater love can be
than the love we can create – it's ours to control
within the power of our minds we can touch what people call god
within the power of our hearts we can know everything
within the power of our love we can understand it all
in the love we create – in the song we sing
in the love we create we are a part of everything

there is no need to sacrifice unless you doubt your faith
there is no need to wage a war unless you are afraid
there is no need to own a thing unless you cannot share
and if you cannot share you cannot care and you will not long be here
but it is still a choice you make with your inner voice with your inner light
it is the message you send out into the silent night

so here i am again, approaching 4am
opening up to what most call above
rolling back the time, coalescing rhyme
breathing life into the dream of love

here i am again, approaching 4am
becoming part of what we all dream of
where there is no time, everything can rhyme
living breathing sharing the dream of love
living breathing sharing the dream of love
living breathing sharing the dream of love

ashes and rust

sometimes i just wanna sit home and lick my wounds
and many the wounds i've got
so deep and wide and everlasting
but that's such a waste of time
and who wants to go through that
even if it's in rhyme

sometimes i just wanna curl up and cry it out
and many the tears i've shed
so deep and wide and everlasting
but drowning is no way to live
and who wants to go through that
even if it's a gift

trust, may be the most precious thing of all
beyond measure, such a treasure, if you know
doubt may be the most corrosive thing of all
unproductive, so destructive, let it go

when all you want is someone who knows you
when all you want is someone who cares
when all you want is to cut through the superficial crap
to reach the point of no return with someone who shares

a trust, as challenging as it is beautiful
beyond reason, every season, may you know
doubt will eat you alive if you invest in it
unproductive, so destructive, let it go

when all you want is someone who wants you
when all you want is someone who understands
the dreams in your heart that make you who you are
the becomes the foundation for shared journeys to wonderland

of trust, gives everything a deeper meaning
beyond anything that could have come before
when all doubt can be left behind
that's when you find your peace of mind
in sharing what this life is for and more
the trust that makes you feel safe and secure
just trust, shared down to the core

sometimes i just wanna lament missing sharing
and just feel the loneliness
that comes from being without trust
as days can feel like eons
so deep and wide and everlasting
but that's just a lack of hope
that let's doubt in like ashes and rust
and who wants to go through that
even if it leads to trust
