SHINE

So deep inside

waiting for the right time

so good you’ll see

it’s all inside of me

it will change your mind

and make you feel like your blind

when I polish me

all I’ll do is shine

Shining down on you like heavens opened up

there’s a diamond inside me

but it’s buried in the rough

I will

you’ll see

I’ll shine

I’ll be brand new

you won’t recognize me

when my light comes through

so perfect and inviting

they’ll stop and stare

at the wonder that’s inside me

just like the sun

all I’ll do is shine

Shining down on you like heavens opened up

there’s a diamond inside me

but it’s buried in the rough

I will

you’ll see

I’ll shine.

DUST FROM THE STARS

Here we are
Dust from the stars
Floating alone
On a ball in the sky

Looking for love
What will we find
Searching for truth
Biding our time

And I want to be eternity

Here we are
Dust from the stars
Billions of years
Have brought us this far

If we only knew
That we’re gods in disguise
We’d lose all our fears
And the truth would be ours

And I want to be eternity

The stars are just a mirror of you

COME AWAY WITH ME

On a star lit night

sitting by the fire

chasing memories

come away, come away with me…

We were young and wild

full of hope and desire

our whole lives yet to be

come away, come away with me . . .

Skating on that frozen lake

having races

figure eights

your lips are blue

Driving in that beat up car

the window’s down

the radios on

we’re skipping school . . .

All the nights spent at the fair

Ferris wheel stuck in the air

but I’m with you

Parked within our secret place

moonlight shadows

hearts agape

the naked truth
