They Must Be Friends Of Yours

They Must Be Friends Of Yours

 

Slept late Friday morning sky was lazy gray

Tried to write a song but had nothing to say

My mistress Muse refused to give me rest

I just wanted to say I love you the best

 

They must be friends of yours my lonely one

They must be friends of yours cause I got none

For once in my life I want to have some fun

They must be friends of yours my lonely one

 

Echoes of dreams scrolling the computer screen

The moment steams on the edge of obscene

Right and wrong are more than words in a song

Though you may be powerful you’re not strong

 

They must be friends of yours my lonely one

They must be friends of yours cause I got none

For once in my life I want to have some fun

They must be friends of yours my lonely one

 

Wicked gnomes were laughing late into the night

Bullies bully until you get into a fistfight

God I got a list of things that just ain’t right

Life is beautiful when you walk in the light

 

They must be friends of yours my lonely one

They must be friends of yours cause I got none

For once in my life I want to have some fun

They must be friends of yours my lonely one

 

And here we are pounding the concrete of a lonely street

Searching up and down for something to make us complete

I must report life is short there’s hell below heaven above

The meaning of life is simple it’s all in the word love

 

The scientists insist on evolution

The realists persist in revolution

Bottom line there’s one solution

We gotta recreate the institution

 

They must be friends of yours my lonely one

They must be friends of yours cause I got none

For once in my life I want to have some fun

They must be friends of yours my lonely one

He Laid it Down

He Laid it Down

 

Well if you take a good look

You’ll see a shining light

It’s written in the good book

About a King gentle and contrite

Well he had enormous power

He coulda done as He please

But it was His finest hour

To be crucified on a tree

 

He laid it down

So others could live

And now I’ve found

I’ve got the will to give

Cause he laid it down

 

Oh yes I got the will to go out

To speak the truth and defeat doubt

I shall clothe the naked and feed the poor

I’ll serve in no army I’ll fight no war

And in times of sorrow I shall not frown

Cause He laid it down He laid it down

 

He laid it down

So others could live

And now I’ve found

I’ve got the will to give

Cause he laid it down

 

With wonderful words he did speak

To love your enemy and turn the cheek

He was tempted but never did sin

He died but death could not hold him

Jesus sits in heaven with a glorious crown

Cause he laid it down he laid it down

 

He laid it down

So others could live

And now I’ve found

I’ve got the will to give

Cause he laid it down

 

Well in this world I often suffer defeat

But by God’s grace my hope is complete

It is true I cannot pay salvation’s price

That was done with Jesus’ great sacrifice

Oh yes I’m clean and heaven bound

Cause he laid it down He laid it down

 

He laid it down

So others could live

And now I’ve found

I’ve got the will to give

Cause he laid it down

I Once Was a Fascist

 I Once Was a Fascist

 

I once was a fascist

And thought I was supreme

I was presented an eternal quest

Called the American dream

I was instructed to prosper and succeed

That accomplishment was to satisfy one’s greed

That money brought eternal bliss

Wealth was something not to miss

America too was noble and grand

Far superior to any land

We never lost in war we were far too strong

And we were always right incapable of wrong

From kindergarten on I saluted the flag

And of all of our glory I would boast and brag

Then observation testified I learned a lie

Irrefutable evidence came I could not deny

And inner torment raged in my brain

The agony surged and I went insane

I once was a fascist

But that man no longer does exist

He is dead, nailed to a tree

I once was a fascist but now I am free

Southern Lights

 

Southern Lights

 

When the whole world’s coming down on you                

The sky in your soul’s no longer blue                              

Heaven tells love’s story in the night                              

All right you’re all right

 

Southern lights

We sit and watch the southern lights

Gazing up we’re lost in delight

Southern lights

We sit and watch the southern lights

Magical holding tight                                           

 

Dreams are the currency of the heart

A little from each we do our part

One day truth and love shall reunite

All right it’s all right

 

Southern lights

We sit and watch the southern lights

Gazing up we’re lost in delight

Southern lights

We sit and watch the southern lights

Magical holding tight                                           

 

There is a grace beyond this temporal space

Searching the universe finding God’s face

The Southern Lights a melody of the muse

If you need a friend I’ll help pay your dues

 

Hold my hand as we walk through this time

A perfect echo giving off rhyme

Come here dear lady I’ll be your knight

All right you’re all right

 

Southern lights

We sit and watch the southern lights

Gazing up we’re lost in delight

Southern lights

We sit and watch the southern lights

Magical holding tight

I Remember

 I Remember

 

They were yesterdays of pain hurt falling like rain             

Words or phrases would never serve to explain                  

Outcast for the dark crime of just being me                          

And until this day I am still fighting to be set free      

 

I remember how could I ever forget?

I remember the past haunts me yet

I remember my Lord on Calvary

I remember the cross I carry

 

In the company all of the dogs call me sir

In the family I caused a little stir

I desire to destroy Babylon the Whore

They’d shoot me dead but they’re all afraid of nuclear war

 

I remember how could I ever forget?

I remember the past haunts me yet

I remember my Lord on Calvary

I remember the cross I carry

 

I misquoted Steven Tyler on my resume

I put a question mark under current pay

I ain’t mean but they do kill on my behalf

It ain’t a joke brother so I hope I don’t hear you laugh

 

I remember how could I ever forget?

I remember the past haunts me yet

I remember my Lord on Calvary

I remember the cross I carry

 

The wisdom of the system is from Lucifer

I’ve got lyrics do you know a record producer?

Myron lost in dorm sixty-two of Graystone U

So tell me the sorrows you’ve been through

 

The mystique of a freak my God is on my side

I can’t run because there ain’t no place to hide

So I sit and reflect on years of disrespect

Every day we’re dealt a new set of cards from the deck

 

I remember how could I ever forget?

I remember the past haunts me yet

I remember my Lord on Calvary

I remember the cross I carry

Victory

 Victory

 

We shall walk together

Marching as if one

We shall walk together

Until victory is won

 

Down the narrow way

God guide us we pray

Sharing our burden

Until victory is won

 

Holding our cross high

We are willing to die

Give glory to the Son

For the victory won

 

We shall walk together

Love will conquer hate

We shall walk together

Through heaven’s gate

 

We shall walk together

Marching as if one

We shall walk together

Until victory is won

Dreams Come True

Dreams Come True

 

Long ago in troubled times a Korean War              

A man who I would come to know as father           

In black and white photographs a distant smile      

Marching in green uniform grunting survival         

 

Dreams come true but only to the few

Dreams come true what am I to do

Dreams come true I still love you

Dreams come true and baby I’m due

 

Florence and Ted wed young in the land of promise

In years to come I would never see them kiss

Not once to hear the words I love you such sad shame

I was a small child giving myself the blame

 

Dreams come true but only to the few

Dreams come true what am I to do

Dreams come true I still love you

Dreams come true and baby I’m due

 

Rock and Roll fantasy starring Sir Elton John

Banging out Bennie and the Jets so far gone

A freak in a circus show mocked by my peers

In a prison of scorn a dungeon of fears

 

Dreams come true but only to the few

Dreams come true what am I to do

Dreams come true I still love you

Dreams come true and baby I’m due

 

Jimi played now he’s laid with a Stratocaster

See his fingers my mind is racing all the faster

If I had only known I could have been a rock star

All day and all night I’d play electric guitar

 

A cosmic kid lost in a social holocaust

Tormented by the past always counting the cost

I would never surrender I was overcome

A victim of circumstance in God’s kingdom

 

Dreams come true but only to the few

Dreams come true what am I to do

Dreams come true I still love you

Dreams come true and baby I’m due

Rock And Roll Lady

In Memory of Tina Turner!

Rock And Roll Lady

 

I’m hitchhiking a ride to New Orleans                    

Gonna hang out with the closet queens          

There’s a pawn shop that sells used dreams            

And I’m looking for a brand-new scene                  

 

Rock and Roll Lady now your free

Singing with the angels for eternity

Rock and Roll Lady I got my memory

In my mind I always find your beauty

 

Born in poverty living in troubled times

Feel the fight resonating in the rhymes

When you got nothing you take a chance

Rock and Roll Lady do you want to dance?

 

Rock and Roll Lady now your free

Singing with the angels for eternity

Rock and Roll Lady I got my memory

In my mind I always find your beauty

 

I heard your man treated you really cruel

Every now and then we all play the fool

One day you woke up and found the door

Ain’t gonna take that abuse no more

 

Rock and Roll Lady now your free

Singing with the angels for eternity

Rock and Roll Lady I got my memory

In my mind I always find your beauty

 

I got my plastic records and my phonograph

Rock and Roll Lady you make me laugh

Rock and Roll Lady you make me cry

Rock and Roll Lady you can never die

 

Riches and fame were part of the prize

But the true treasure was getting wise

Rock and Roll Lady never compromise

Good things come to the one who tries

 

Rock and Roll Lady now your free

Singing with the angels for eternity

Rock and Roll Lady I got my memory

In my mind I always find your beauty
