Ahh, the sweet longing (and frustration, and confusion, and impatience...) of youth...
...
Verse 1:
Waiting on this precipice
Waiting till I know
Where blow the winds of time
Whiche’re way shall I go
One moment finds a current
The next I am left dangling
Clinging to a thread of doubt
Tangling and untangling
Chorus: Waiting on this perpetual precipice
Waiting on this perpetual precipice
Waiting. . . Waiting. . . Waiting!
Verse 2:
Waiting on this precipice
Who, where am I?
Am I falling through the ocean
Or drowning in the sky?
I know that the answer lies
Hidden inside me
Only love will guide me there
Only truth will set me free
(Chorus)
Verse 3:
Waiting on this precipice
Dancing with my fears
So hard to hold on
So hard to hold back the tears
Calling out to nothing
Calling out to everything
Can you hear my heartbeat
Can you hear me sing?
(La lai lai lai lai. . . )
Waiting. . . Waiting. . . Waiting
A voice out of nowhere says release just let go
A voice out of somewhere says follow the flow
A voice out of everywhere says you already know
And on this precipice
No longer will I stand
Taking hold of nothing
I fall into God’s hands. . .
Memoirs in a Song...
The name holds a sense of ancient wisdom, which I hope begins to seep thru my songs: What are the stories the earth tells, that are written on our ancestral bones? What is the deeper pool of knowledge that we can drink from as we birth ourselves into creative evolutionary beings? Where are our roots? What is the journey we have taken, personally and collectively?...
And so begins the story, woven in song, as fallen through the lyrics of my music...
More lyrics will be coming soon (I've written well over 100 songs!)... In the meantime, I hope you enjoy!
[Please note that you will want to read from bottom to top (in reverse). The "archive by date" list on the lefthand side will help your journey - which begins in March of 1996, when the first song flew out of my lips... You can also search by THEMES: the songs which I like a lot or are in current performance rotation are in the theme of *favorites*]

Tears on My Guitar
This one should really be heard . . . The lyrics are so simple, but the song itself very entrancing.
...
My best friend
My holy angel
It’s so hard to see you
So hard to see you go
Chorus: Tears on my guitar (x3)
God’s love
In your laughter
Holy water
Of your kiss (oh sweet bliss)
(Chorus)
(Taxim and/or Instrumental)
Bridge:
I know we have chosen this life together
Love keeps us warm no matter the weather
I know we have chosen this time for a reason
As we ebb and flow with the changes of season
(Chorus)

New Day
Verse 1:
I am ready for the new day
Where all our people are at peace
I will walk down any street,
Anywhere, anytime, and be at ease
I am ready for the new day
For the rising of the morning sun
Ready for the glory of creation
When all the children are one
Verse 2:
We are entering unknown territory
Who out there can hear my song?
How many of my people
Will even dare to sing along?
We are entering unknown territory
A trail of tears we leave behind
When we arrive in the new time
I will share a glass of the divine
Chorus:
I will lift my song to the angels
Give my breath to the wind
Live my life for the music
And for love of this world we’re living in
Bridge:
We are starlight
Woven through time in infinite ways
We are the dreamers
Dancing the world awake
We are a heartbeat
Rhythm of creation
We are lovesong
Healing the nations
Verse 3:
Can you feel the power of devotion
Passion too hard to resist
Love is the sweetest emotion
Woven through all that exists
Can you feel the power of devotion
Grace of God in a kiss
Opens the doors of perception
As we glide into infinite bliss
{No it don’t get much better than this}
(Chorus), then...
We must all lift our souls to the angels
Give our breath to the wind
Live our lives for each other
And for love of this world we're living in
Yeah for love, yeah for love
Yeah for love of this world... we're living in
I am ready for the new day
Where all our people are at peace
I will walk down any street,
Anywhere, anytime, and be at ease
I am ready for the new day
For the rising of the morning sun
Ready for the glory of creation
When all the children are one
Verse 2:
We are entering unknown territory
Who out there can hear my song?
How many of my people
Will even dare to sing along?
We are entering unknown territory
A trail of tears we leave behind
When we arrive in the new time
I will share a glass of the divine
Chorus:
I will lift my song to the angels
Give my breath to the wind
Live my life for the music
And for love of this world we’re living in
Bridge:
We are starlight
Woven through time in infinite ways
We are the dreamers
Dancing the world awake
We are a heartbeat
Rhythm of creation
We are lovesong
Healing the nations
Verse 3:
Can you feel the power of devotion
Passion too hard to resist
Love is the sweetest emotion
Woven through all that exists
Can you feel the power of devotion
Grace of God in a kiss

{No it don’t get much better than this}
(Chorus), then...
We must all lift our souls to the angels
Give our breath to the wind
Live our lives for each other
And for love of this world we're living in
Yeah for love, yeah for love
Yeah for love of this world... we're living in
