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
