Glue?

Is there anybody there

Can it be that I am the only one that can see, surely not

Can you find love it seems to have been lost

Love was the glue that held us all together

But now we have looked in the mirror so long at our own reflection

The mirror cracked and we only see self

We took a bite of the apple and opened Pandora’s box and out came self

I want – I will – I can – My Right

Sod the rest of you

I looked for the children playing in the street but all I could see was a broken heap

Lost in a world of broken people

Can someone find the glue?

I know a man that was pulled apart

His father filled him with the glue of love it covered all our brokeness it covered all our sins

PS – can anyone find the glue?

Hold my Hand

Hold my hand my little one

Come with me to make believe

In your dreams we fly away

 

Give your heart to me to mend, shut your eyes and just pretend

The dreams you have will never end, we’ll fly to the rainbows end

 

We’ll spin the stars into the sky and claim the wings of the butterfly

We’ll go to the heavens and over the moon we’ll catch the dish and steal the spoon

And laugh with the dog who joins the fun

 

Where to now my little man, shall we go to see Peter Pan

Shut your eyes and just pretend, we’re off to the land that has no end

Where fairies fly in a bright blue sky, and pirates sail on a lullaby

While children come and never die but dance to the tune of the lullaby

 

Come dream with my my little one, where life on earth has gone so wrong

Reach up and let me take your hand, I’ll pull you through to never land

Over the Rainbow

Over the rainbow and far away is a land of hope and joy, a land where tears are not shed, where life goes on and never ends

Where love and peace will never cease and shadows never roam

The sound of laughter fills the air, the cares of life are long since gone, gone to a place that went so wrong, a place of pain and grief

Wake up sleeping beauty before it’s too late

You need to see this dreadful state of earth where you live where love is dying and thefts abound

I cried for you, I died for you, I hung upon a cross, my eyes grow dim when I see your sin, the anguish in my heart is great

O how I long to gather you to my side, to come to me as a spotless bride, but you turned to face the other way, the lights shine bright to entice you on but the way is dark and all so wrong

The path of illusion that blinds your soul, everything you think is there is just a lie that brings despair

Flowers die and birds don’t sing when you live a life of sin

Don’t look in the mirror and see your face, look in the mirror and ask for grace

My hand is alway open, grasp it while you can

My heart bleeds when I see you go, go to a place where you don’t know, where birds don’t sing and the sun won’t shine, my love can’t reach you because you went in blind

I called your name here on earth, you didn’t turn and you went your way

I saw you go, I wept aloud, I never cease to cry for you, to bring you home, where you belong

Broken Dreams

I saw you when you were young and gay

You were to me like the morning ray

My heart was lost in your unfolding beauty

You were my only desire like the taste of honey sweetness to my lips

Then came the storm to rip us apart, we came to you with a broken heart

Where have you gone my love

Don’t let your heart be taken away

You think you have the answer you think you have the dream

When the blinds fall from your eyes you see it for what it is

An illusion, a dream, then back to the same place again

Does the rainbow have the gold you look for, you search but you never find

Just the colours that draw you in that take you deeper into sin

The merry-go-round of life goes on

We try to sing a different song only to sound like a resounding gong

My Cardboard Box

Where are you my God of love, can I find you in the pub, down the street and on the corner, in my cardbox box or shelter

Lost in life’s sea of sorrow, we all blame you for our tomorrow

We cannot see you paid the price, we all want things to be so nice

And, if we don’t get our way, we turn and walk the other way

Oh, to be a little child to see your face and know your smile

I only can depend on you to give me love and see me through

In my shelter, in my paid I saw your face once again

The tears I shed were down your face, I’ve never see such amazing grace

My heart sprang open like a flower bud to catch the rays of your amazing love

I said to Jesus how much do you love me

My love is like the highest mountain, deeper than the deepest sea

Never ceasing, never ending, you are all I’ve ever wanted

If only you would come and see this great love I have for thee

Let me give you a new tomorrow, to walk a path of peace and joy

To take away your pain and sorrow, to see the sun shine in your life

The son of God will hold you tight and keep you always in the sight

The Dance

As we danced joy filled my heart

Every beat of the music was a beat of my heart

As your arms held me your love engulfed me

You lifted me high, so high I could almost touch the sky

Your eyes led me in the way I should go

The dance led me to a place I have never been before

A place of love so profound, so deep, I felt I would drown, but your arms held me close

You lead me in the dance

Who is this that I am dancing with?

Who is stirring my heart? Who is this? Who is this that makes me want to dance?

Who are you that shows so much love that draws me so close that makes my heart leap with joy?

Who are you?

My child I am the Lord of the Dance

Come on Son

Come on son, over we go, don’t be afraid of the foe

I don’t want to go; I don’t want to show the fear that lives in me

Don’t worry son, we all feel fear and many a time we’ve shed a tear

Why does it have to be this way, killing each other every day?

It’s life on earth son, it’s gone astray

I’m over the top, I’m on my way the bullets keep coming and I’ve lost my way

All I can see is the colour gray

The smoke is so thick it makes me sick

But somehow I’v found my way

I’m fighting through another day

The ground is red with the blood of men

My buddies lie beneath my feet

Gone forever in the long dark sleep

I’m broken hearted and feel alone

I miss me mam, I miss me dad, me life is flying through me head

I just wanna be in me bed and shut my eyes so it will go away and when I await it’s another day

Me mate that’s with me keeps urgning me on, come on son, you need to run

It all went quiet when I fired me gun

I looked around and saw this bloke the bullet I fired had hit his throat

I held his hand till he was gone, gone like a long lost song, never to be heard again

O God what have I done he was just a lad like me?

It’s like hell on earth this war we’re in

Then it all went quiet it all went still, the grey was gone and the sky was blue, the sound of laughter reached my ears

I heard this noise say ‘No more Tears’ and I looked, I saw this bloke, this bloke I shot in the throat, not only him but hundreds more

Just like the sand on the sea shore, they look so happy, so content

And there he was my mate again, his face was radian like the morning sun

The smell of roses filled the air, the Rose of Sharon was truly there

I’m home at least and peace abounds

We never see the wars gain, never hear the sound of dying men trampled on the ground

All the lonely people

All the lonely people where do they all come from?

Wandering in a make believe world

Blocking the sound of reality with the sound of nothing

Shutting out the world, shutting out the pain, living make believe lives

Just existing just pretending life’s ok

They cannot hear the voice calling them day after day

Listen Listen I can show you another way

Don’t let life’s worries lead you astray

Although you look for things lost or never had let go of your make believe

Look at me I’m reality if you only knew how much i love you you would never be lonely again

Who is this walking on the sand

Who is this walking on the sand

Whom the wind and waves obey

Who is this that wants me to stay

The stirring in my heart are like the waves of the sea

Taking me over drawing me closer taking me deeper, deeper than I’ve ever known

Your love washes over me over and over it never ends

Drawing me closer than I have ever been

Teddy

I wanted a teddy but they gave me a gun

I wanted a father but couldn’t find one

I found a gang and we all became one

A sense of belonging came over me

A sense of power when I held my gun

But deep inside in a special place there lived my teddy in my hearts embrace
