Amaranta..(is about my sister )
You chased me through the spring meadows of my childhood In the warm bird song summer sun With you I never had a day of sorrow As I look back at what we had done
I call you Amaranta A flower that never fades You were my rays of happiness Through a thousand silent plays
How many words are there to express the way this feels Even after separation from you I still cried alone in my dreams So sad I was unable to show you how I felt Guess it’s just the way life was The cards that we were dealt
I call you Amaranta My flower that never fades You were my rays of sunshine Through a thousand silent prayers
So now as we get older, separation looms again I just wanted to say to you that you have always been my friend But I think, no, I know you’re so much more than that A hidden unused word, I think it’s just called love
So thank you Amaranta My flower that never fades You were my rays of sunshine Through all my breathing days I will always love you Amaranta Until my life force fades away You are my Amaranta The flower that never fades.
Another Day
If I needed to learn another thousand lessons
Then give me another day of this life
If I needed to learn wrong from right, see dark turn to light
Then give me another day of my life
If I needed to get strength from weakness, bravery from pain
Discipline from hopelessness and beauty from bleakness
Then give me another day of my life
The pain is harsh and the days are long and loneliness breaks my heart
But
I can feel, smile and breathe
I can touch, love and see
That a nightmare for you is a dream for me
So please
Give me another day of this life...
Addict
Kneeling down in broken glass
You syringe your veins of life
Sliding down the stairs to hell
Inside knowing this ain't right
Too weak to face your battles
That rage like troubled seas
It’s only in your mind my friend
Lies life’s own miseries
Drugs have got your brain diseased
So now you reside in hell
Seems you still motionless
At the place where you first fell
Your courage now has seeped away
And with it went your light
Your body has grown weaker
You have lost the will to fight
Life
I’ve got this life
But I didn’t know what to do with it
So I sat on my arse
As the world spun around a bit
Woke up and hoped
That today won’t be full of shit
Got a social disease boy
Called you just aint gonna fit
Well aint these trials
One hell of a son of a bitch
Hanging on
As my hands start to lose their grip
God, give me a break
Perhaps save me from this drowning ship
I’ve still got hope
So I guess I’ll just get on with it
Got a God given life
So please, tell me what to do with it.
The Kid
The other day I met a kid
Who was moaning about his life
He didn’t know which direction to take
Or the difference between wrong and right
I took the kid to one side
And like a father, explained what he must do
To change the life that he was freely given
To stand upright and proud in his own two shoes
I said...Â
'Kid, you are the sun and the moon
And all the stars of the night
You are the chorus that life sings
And the light of the brightest lights
You are the breath that the world is breathing
And every heartbeat ever known
You are the reason the universe is still turning
And in every river that’s ever flowed
You are the rain that falls from heaven
Every snow flake that caressed the sky
You are the reason life is living
There is no price to your love and worth
and no reason to question why.'
Wreck.
While my talents neglected me
And my body was wracked in pain
My thoughts are often yesterdays
And where I walk, it rains
I have a thousand different memories
That drip from a bloodied sky
And a thousand different excuses
To want to run away and hide
So I hide beneath my weakness
In a hole that's under the floor
I questioned my troubled existence
Then questioned myself some more
I shout, but hear no echo
It feels safe behind my walls
No light coming through the darkness
No life coming through at all...
All words/images are mine....
