Trying To Get By

Trying To Get By

 

I was in downtown Manhattan the city was sleeping                

From the Island I hear Lady Liberty weeping                  

In lofty towers of Babylon the elite drink champaign     

Living in the subways on the streets legions in pain                 

 

We’re all just trying to get by

Some live the truth some live the lie

Most of us don’t even ask why

We’re all just trying to get by

 

Something’s only illegal if you happen to get caught

Even then with the right friend innocence can be bought

A wad of cash under the table is universal language

If you’re going to sell your soul do it when you’re young

 

We’re all just trying to get by

Some live the truth some live the lie

Most of us don’t even ask why

We’re all just trying to get by

 

Lucifer wears a tuxedo sitting front row at the Met

His ego won’t allow for even a single regret

Wizards of Wall Street eat their fill in the Sushi bars

While the ghost of Kurt Cobain collects broken guitars

 

We’re all just trying to get by

Some live the truth some live the lie

Most of us don’t even ask why

We’re all just trying to get by

 

Meanwhile at the math lab we’re reciting pi

Learn your lessons work till the day you die

Sahir refuses to obey he’s become spoiled

The juggernaut of death is well oiled

 

Materialism is wrong but don’t dare touch my bank account

From the Hills of Mordor the zombie hordes begin to mount

And where has my Lord Jesus gone why haven’t you found Him yet?

There are many more letters not in the alphabet

 

We’re all just trying to get by

Some live the truth some live the lie

Most of us don’t even ask why

We’re all just trying to get by

The Circle Turns

 The Circle Turns

 

Ring around the ring, ring around the ring

Babies cry old men sigh, while angels sing

 

She was the pretty princess of the merry go round          

My miserable mistress of the lost and found                    

The ghost of the Titanic sails without a sound                 

On this Sea of Misery where are we bound?                    

 

The circle turns leaving the past

The circle turns going nowhere fast

We live our lives never to last

The circle turns leaving the past

 

There are three sides of the coin one we never see

We headed west on a quest hoping to be free

There is gold in them hills never mind the dream

The iron dragon roaring destroys Red Bull’s scream

 

The circle turns leaving the past

The circle turns going nowhere fast

We live our lives never to last

The circle turns leaving the past

 

Pocahontas was betrayed she was Love’s slave

I weep these words a silent melody on her grave

In the painted desert we collect monuments to pain

All we have done all we have said was in vain

 

On Easter morning my savior arose from the dead

If you’re hungry I’m willing to share my bread

I want this to be happy a Utopian verse

He who is hung on a tree is under a curse

 

The circle turns leaving the past

The circle turns going nowhere fast

We live our lives never to last

The circle turns leaving the past

 

Ring around the ring, ring around the ring

There is hope in the story that is what I bring

Monopoly

 Monopoly

 

Where all is but a whisp of dreams

And that not even what it seems

 

Pretty princess crying hour after hour                    

Evil witch holds her captive in tall tower        

On the wind sad cries blow to and fro             

There are secrets that none wish to know              

 

This is suburbia this is the city as well

There is no monopoly on hell

Strippers in night clubs under a spell

The dollar speaks what does it tell?

 

Working nine to five won’t keep you alive

Politicians offering empty jive

Children lost in fantasy abyss

Where or where is the magical kiss?

 

This is suburbia this is the city as well

There is no monopoly on hell

Strippers in night clubs under a spell

The dollar speaks what does it tell?

 

Rockets roar war is waged

The young have aged

Issued uniforms taught to kill

Could this be God’s will?

 

Little Lady we flee holding hand in hand

Searching for the hope of the Promised Land

Sky illuminates as hate manifests

All I can promise you my love is my best

 

This is suburbia this is the city as well

There is no monopoly on hell

Strippers in night clubs under a spell

The dollar speaks what does it tell?

 

Insanity my friend is the norm

In the end we die or conform?

White cotton clouds where dragons fly

Tall yawning trees touching the skies

A winged horse waits for your pleasure

Countdown three two one to bliss

Jugglers twirling cosmic stars

Minstrels strumming electric guitars

Rapture reigns drops of purple haze

Infinity cannot number our days

Cotton candy crystals dripping youth

Fantasy forming fragments of truth

Words Of My Life

 Words Of My Life

 

These are my words the words of my life

I am many things mother, lover, wife

What I am is defined by what I do

So hear the words of my life all of them true

 

Bad times make you strong

Loving is never wrong

Keep on keeping on

Life is a merry song

 

I remember lying in bed after the accident

Wondering mysteries what life really meant

I scribbled down directions for the bus

And a special thank you for my Lord Jesus

 

Bad times make you strong

Loving is never wrong

Keep on keeping on

Life is a merry song

 

The words of my life they’re written in stone

With billions of people isolated and alone

A simple hello the greatest kindness known

The words of my life oh how I have grown

 

Bad times make you strong

Loving is never wrong

Keep on keeping on

Life is a merry song

 

Simple words drawn in crayon

Fabulous fantasy having grown

Living too fast thinking I’m so smart

Finally finding love in my heart

 

The words of my life one day they’ll come to an end

God keeps his own book we can’t pretend

Whatever you have done to the least of them

The words of my life soon the final amen

 

Simple words drawn in crayon

Fabulous fantasy having grown

Living too fast thinking I’m so smart

Finally finding love in my heart
