Once in every life
Love should leave you without a choice
Where the only thing right
Is to follow that still small voice

Once in every day
It should take your breath away
Once upon a time
Should happen once in every life

Once you give it your heart
Without holding back your soul
You can dance in the dark
Cause you're never there alone

Once in every hour
You should feel the healing pow'r
Once upon a time
Should happen once in every life

Once its stronger than you
There's nothing else you can do
You stop asking why
Just let yourself fly

Once in every life
Love should feel so good you cry
And your only release
Is releasing three small words

Once you hear them aloud
You'll feel heaven coming down
Once upon a time
Should happen once in every life

Once upon a time
Should happen once in every life

If it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck.....it is really an exhausted chicken moving on to try to find happiness...

Heaven bent to take my hand
And lead me through the fire
Be the long awaited answer
To a long and painful fight

Truth be told I've tried my best
But somewhere along the way
I got caught up in all there was to offer
And the cost was so much more than I could bear

Though I've tried, I've fallen...
I have sunk so low
I have messed up
Better I should know
So don't come round here
And tell me I told you so...

We all begin with good intent
Love was raw and young
We believed that we could change ourselves
THe past could be undone
But we carry on our backs the burden
Time always reveals
The lonely light of morning
The wound that would not heal
It's the bitter taste of losing everything
That I have held so dear.

I've fallen...
I have sunk so low
I have messed up
Better I should know
So don't come round here
And tell me I told you so...

Heaven bent to take my hand
Nowhere left to turn
I'm lost to those I thought were friends
To everyone I know
Oh they turned their heads embarassed
Pretend that they don't see
But it's one missed step
You'll slip before you know it
And there doesn't seem a way to be redeemed

Though I've tried, I've fallen...
I have sunk so low
I have messed up
Better I should know
So don't come round here
And tell me I told you so...

"All beautiful works of art must either intentionally imitate, or accidentally resemble natural forms"

"The greatest thing a human soul ever does in this world is to see something, and tell what it saw in a plain way. Hundreds of people can talk for one who can think, but thousands can think for one who can see. To see clearly is poetry, prophecy and religion all in one."

(his business)"is not now to distinguish between disputed degrees of ability in individuals, or agreeableness in canvases; it is not now to expse the ignorance or defend the principles of party or person; it is to summon the moral energies of the nation to a forgotten duty, to display the use, force and function of a great body of neglected sypathies and desires."

"With this kind of bodily sensibility to colour and form is intimately connected that highter sensibility which we revere as one of the chief attributes of all noble minds, and as the chief spring of real poetry. I believe this kind of sensibility may be entirely resolved into the acuteness of bodily sense of which I have been speaking, associated with love, love I mean in its infinite and holy functions, as it embraces divine and human and brutal intelligences, and hallows the physical perception of external objects by association, gratitude, veneration, and other pure feelings of our moral nature."

his description of cirrus clouds...
"They are nearly always arranged in some definate and evident order, commonly in long ranks reaching sometimes from the zenith to the horizon, each rank composed of an infinite number of transverse bars of about the same length, each bar thickest in the middle, and terminating in a traceless vaporous point at each side; the ranks are in the direction of the wind, and the bars of course at right angles to it; these latter are slightly bent in the middle. Frequently two systems of this kind, indicative of two currents of wind, at different altitudes, intersect each other, of excessively fine, silky, parallel fibres, common radiating, or having a tendency to radiate, from one of their extremeties, and terminating in a plumy sweep at the other; these are vulgarly known as "mare's tails". The plumy and expanded extremity of these is often bent upwards, sometimes back and up again, giving an appearance of great flexibility and unity at the same time; as if the clouds were tough, and would hold together, however bent. The narow extremity is invariably turned to the wind, and the fibres are parallel with its direction. The upper clouds always fall into some modification or other of these arrangements. They thus differ from all other clouds in having a plan and system; whereas other clouds, though there are certain laws which they cannot break, have yet perfect freedom from anything like a relative and general system of government. The upper clouds are to the lower, what soldiers on parade are to a mixed multitude: no men walk on their heads or their hands, and so there are certain laws that no clouds violate; but there is nothing, except in the upper clouds, resembling symmetrical discipline."

Song: The Reason


I'm not a perfect person
As many things I wish I didn't do
But I continue learning
I never meant to do those things to you
And so I have to say before I go
That I just want you to know

I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
and the reason is you

I'm sorry that I hurt you
It's something I must live with everyday
And all the pain I put you through
I wish that I could take it all away
And be the one who catches all your tears
Thats why i need you to hear

I've found a resaon for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
and the reason is You [x4]

I'm not a perfect person
I never meant to do those things to you
And so I have to say before I go
That I just want you to know

I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
and the reason is you

I've found a reason to show
A side of me you didn't know
A reason for all that I do
And the reason is you




It's all for you baby girl...mommy loves you

If you go to work on your goals, your goals will go to work on you. If you go to work on your plan, your plan will go to work on you. Whatever good things we build end up building us.

Dare to live the life you have dreamed for yourself. Go forward and make your dreams come true.

if you'd say goodbye to me tonight
there would still be music left to write
what else could I do
I'm so inspired by you
that hasn't happened for the longest time

Once I thought my innocence was gone
now I know that happiness goes on
that's where you found me
when you put your arms around me
I haven't been there for the longest time

woohoohoohoo for the longest time
woohoohoo for the longest time

I'm that voice your hearing in the hall
and the greatest miracle of all
is how I need you
and how you needed me too
that hasn't happened for the longest time

maybe this won't last very long
but you feel so right
and I could be wrong
maybe I've been hoping too hard
I've gone this far
and it's more than I hoped for

Who knows how much further we'll go on
maybe I'll be sorry when your gone
I'll take my chances
I forgot how nice romance is
I haven't been there for the longest time

I had second thoughts at the start
I said to myself
hold on to your heart
now I know the woman that you are
you're wonderful so far
and it's more than I hoped for

I don't care what concequence it brings
I have been a fool for lesser things
I want you so bad
I think you oughta know that
I intend to hold you for the longest time

Sometimes is never quite enough
If you're flawless, then you'll win my love
Don't forget to win first place
Don't forget to keep that smile on your face

Be a good boy
Try a little harder
You've got to measure up
And make me prouder

How long before you screw it up
How many times do I have to tell you to hurry up
With everything I do for you
The least you can do is keep quiet

Be a good girl
You've gotta try a little harder
That simply wasn't good enough
To make us proud

I'll live through you
I'll make you what I never was
If you're the best, then maybe so am I
Compared to him compared to her
I'm doing this for your own damn good
You'll make up for what I blew
What's the problem...why are you crying

Be a good boy
Push a little farther now
That wasn't fast enough
To make us happy
We'll love you just the way you are
If you're perfect

threw you the obvious and you flew
with it on your back, a name in your recollection,
down among a million same.
difficult not to feel a little bit disappointed
and passed over
when i looked right through
to see you naked but oblivious
you don't see me, but i threw you the obvious
just to see if there's more behind the eyes
of a fallen angel,
the eyes of a tragedy.
here i am expecting just a little bit
too much from the wounded.
but i see, see through it all
see through and see you.
cause i threw you the obvious
to see what occurs behind, the eyes of a fallen angel,
eyes of a tragedy.
oh well, oh well, apparently nothing, apparently nothing at all.
you don't, you don't, you don't see me.
you don't, you don't, you don't, you don't, see me at all.

Sleeping Beauty

Drunk on ego, truly thought I could make it right
If I kissed you one more time to help you face the nightmare
But you're far too poison for me such a fool to think that I could
Wake you from your slumber, that I could actually heal you

******
A Stranger

Cast the calming apple
Up and over satellites
To draw out the timid wild one
To convince you it's alright
And I listen for the whisper
Of your sweet insanity while I formulate
Denials of your affect on me

What am I to do with all this silence
Shy away, shy away phantom
Run away terrified child
Won't you move away you ??
I'm better off without
Tearing my will down

Renholder

Humble and helpless
Learning to pray
Praying for visions
to Show me the way
Allow me to let it go
Allow me to be forgiven
Show me the way to let go
Allow me to let it go
Allow me to be forgiven
Show me the way to let go

Illuminate me,
Illuminate me,
Illuminate me,
I'm just praying for you to show me
Where I'm to begin

Hoping to
Hoping to reconnect to you..
