]]> I see the angels, I feel where they are.
I step into freedom and I swing from the stars.
The answer within me has gone too far.
I sing to the world and into your heart.
I think inbetween her, I feel her breathe.
Her blood is within me and I feel so clean.
How can I save her with no self-esteem?
She flows like a river and stings like a stream.
The light that travels so far in this life,
Reflects the moments that are too out of sight.
I’ve waited forever to see with the light,
that travels the day and brings us the night.

Could it be true that im lost in the stars?

That secret will follow with love in my arms.

]]> When I was young, I studied all
The stars-
I watched them through the dark,
And… called their name-
I read the books that told me
If the sky-
Those VELVET nights
Can never come again!

WHEN I WAS YOUNG-
I watched the brightest stars-
And saw them move, as this world
Turned around-
I had a blanket to keep the bugs away-
And mosquitoes too…
And slept upon the ground!
Slept on the cold hard ground!

One morning something woke me up-
Woke me up; I looked
And it was Pa-
He said “YOU LAID RIGHT IN DE ROAD, LIKE A “TEESTEL” covered with dew!”
If a fellow came driveing by-
Would a drove right over you!

Those far off golden days-
When I was young-
There was a HEAVEN, far away,
In the blue sky, out of sight!
Sometimes, I am a boy again-
I looked at the stars
Last Night!

When I was young-
I used to watch the stars
the “DIPPER” turning like
Ezekiels wheel-
Goes round forever-
In the northern sky-
Nor marks the changing seasons-
going by.

When I was young-
I knew a million suns!
And ours the smallest-
Just a tiny star!
We drift for ages-
Toward the “Milkie Way”-
And only GOD knows
WHERE HIS PEOPLE ARE!

]]>  

My head’s in the sand,
And my butt’s in the air,
I’m hiding from trouble,
Not saying a prayer.

I think no one sees me,
I’m far out of sight,
Now all’s back to normal,
And everything’s right.

If I can’t see hunger,
It doesn’t exist,
If nations are fighting,
I can’t see their fist.

I live in my darkness,
And all is so fine,
The world is not ending,
I can’t see the sign.

But while I am living,
Down here in my rut,
The real world is out there,
Attacking my butt.
