I'm a Virginia based writer/musician looking to find my place in this wild wild world.
There's so many ways for my restless heart to move But my head intervenes and I never really choose But now at last I can see the stars shining all around me
By Alan John3 years ago in Poets
When I look up in the daylight and see the blue sky A weight in my heart; a mist in my eye There's grief which I can't express with my tongue
It's another new year In a life that's still young A life full of fear-- glimpsed in the rear-view mirror Old friends come and go
A blurry face meets me in the mirror I don't know whose eyes are staring back at me The hat I wore when I was younger The masks I used as I got old
Prep for takeoff Batten the hatches We've got a journey to take Armstrong won't buy it But we'll keep on flyin' Out in into outer space
Up on the mountain I can see so clear But in the valley that vision starts to fade Though I don't see clear I believe you're near
We are kings And we're the queens Ruled over by the prince of peace And we shine With his love For all the least of these
All the willows are weeping this cold winter morning As I shamble and ramble along The world is still sleeping despite all the breaking
All these paths we tread wearing holes in our shoes Like sailboats wand'ring 'cross the ocean blue So many things in life we'd like to do
A stranger in the wind The night personified He's something I despise I listen to his lies Oh my heart is racing This mirror that I'm facing
Maybe I'm dreaming of your ocean eyes Reflected in the emerald skies But I don't know Where summer always goes It seems to fly out the window with the bees
Twenty one guns on twenty one planes As my four walls declare me insane I need to get out of this brain So I'm paying down my fight
