Take It All In

They say that time is moving faster
And yes, my son is now a man.
My daughter too, she wears a ring now.
They come to visit when they can.

I try to
Take it all in
Take it all in
Take it all in
And see
How the time goes
How the world flows
How this life
Open me

I used to run a little faster
And try to dance some nights away.
I didn’t notice I was master
Of life's very precious play

Now I
Take it all in
Take it all in
Take it all in
And see
How the time goes
How the world flows
How this life
Open me

Let my heart breathe
Let my soul sing
Let this life
Open me.

There Is No End

There is no end to who I am.
I must manage 'till the end.
To make a story once again,
With a me I must defend.

This self creation keeps me safe.
This is just how I know my place.
Even if there is the pain,
At least I know just who I am.

Sometimes I feel the flow
Of something I can't know.
It takes a simple thing.
A miracle it brings;
A unity,
But then it fades, you see.

In this world I can see,
This clever mind deceiving me.
With each story I renew,
I push away from life and you.

The more I try, the less I see.
A way to change this mind made me.
If I could stop, then I would not,
And something else might come to be.

Sometimes I feel the flow
Of something I can't know.
It takes a simple thing.
A miracle it brings;
A unity,
But then it fades, you see.

This Will All Be

I know this will all be
When I find you and you find you me
I know this will all be
When I find you and you find you me

Maybe in a day
You'll call and say
I love you so
In every way
And this will make my day

I know this will all be
When I find you and you find you me
I know this will all be
When I find you and you find you me

And in the evening moonlight
I will touch your velvet skin
And you'll caress me tenderly
And all that is within

We will share our secret stories
That no one ever knew
And bind our hearts together
Pledging to be true

I know this will all be
When I find you and you find you me
I know this will all be
When I find you and you find you me

Maybe in a day
You'll call and say
I love you so
In every way
And this will make my day

I know this will all be
When I find you and you find you me
I know this will all be
When I find you and you find you me

Water Is Wide

There is a ship
And she sails the sea
She's loaded deep as deep can be
But not as deep as the love I'm in
I know not if I sink or swim

I leaned my back against an oak
Thinking it was a trusty tree
But first it bent and then it broke
As did my love grow false to me

Oh love is gentle and love is kind
The sweetest flower when first it's new
But love grows old and waxes cold
And fades away like the morning dew

The water is wide, I cannot get o'er
Neither have I the wings to fly
Give me a boat that can carry two
And both shall row, my love and I

Welcoming

I don’t know
A thing or two
And I know you know
I think I do

And that is the truth
And that is what’s real
So where am I now?

And what do I feel?
What do I know?
I don’t know.

I welcome me
To welcoming
To simply see
In front of me

And that is the truth
And that is what’s real
So where am I now?

And what do I feel?
What do I know?
I don’t know.

Who's Watching

Am I here?
In this moment
All alone?
Wishing to disown
What I've become
There are so many voices.
They all imprison me.
And I can't seem to see
Who’s watching?

If you think you know
The mind and its desires.
Think again and know
The consciousness required
Even though my love seems true
There's claiming and possession too
True love can never find me
Who’s watching?

If you wish to live
A life of sinless virtue
There is no one here
Who can begin to teach you
Virtue makes abundance flow
Then desire begins to grow
Then peace can never reach you
Who’s watching?

Winter Blue

Frozen locks
On frozen cars
Coffee getting cold
Steering wheels too cold to touch
There’s a deep winter blue

I think we’ll meet in summertime
Or maybe in the spring
Hope will melt this winter blue
Driving me to sing

It will all
Seem different then
The snow in icy piles
Forming frozen solid bonds
Like the love from your sweet smile

I think we’ll meet in summertime
Or maybe in the spring
Hope will melt this winter blue
Driving me to sing

I’m leaving in the evening
When the light is soft and blue
Driving to New Mexico
To settle somewhere new

I think we’ll meet in summertime
Or maybe in the spring
Hope will melt this winter blue, so sad
With the love your smile will bring
