VAGABOND

vagabond, with an itch under your chin
an itch under your finger tips
a hand up on your hip holding a blade
that somebody made
vagabond, don't you ever steal or lie
even keel yet wields the steel
has tried to cut the ties
of his past, ohh tries to forget
please hold on to what makes sense to you
memories of childhood, memories of you
holdin' a babe
oh, and she just wanna stay
wash your eyes, there's no reason to be cryin'
the reason that you're down can be the reason you inspire
vagabond, oh my word.
ooooooo ooooooo

HEAVEN AND NATURE

I wanna see you smile
I wanna see you laugh
I wanna see you try your best
even when you're feeling down
I wanna see you try
moving the sun in the sky
I wanna see you try your best, even when no one's around
don't feel discouraged, it takes some time to heal your wounds
I've seen it bloom, heaven nature in my room
heaven is real, sometimes you just got to look for it, too
don't get discouraged, don't let your doubts get the best of you
why couldn't you have smiled?
why couldn't you have laughed?
I wanted to see you try your best, even when you're feeling down
I want to see you do, changing the orbits of moons
I know that you are trying your best, even when no one's around
don't feel discouraged, it takes some time to heal your wounds
I've seen it flourish, heaven nature in my room
heaven is real, sometimes you just got to look for it, too
don't get discouraged, don't let your doubts get the best of you

HERE I AM

here I am, brand new day
another night has gone away
barely dressed, barely made
barely set to live again
fumble down out of bed
coffee cup in my hands
ready dressed, ready made
ready set to live again
ahhhh
come around, up and down
the earth has spun for 24 hours
working days cannot repay
the nights have turned from sweet to sour
here I am, brand new day
another night has gone away
barely dressed, and barely made
barely set to live again
ahhh
eye to eye, we're both seeing the same thing
mind to mind, we're both thinking the same thing
the sun in the sky, it's so very bright
the sun in the sky, so very high
