You've got to imagine this one sung with a bit of both melancholy and angst...
...
Verse 1:
Walkin’ down the street today, strangers look away
Temples of their bodies, a waste and decay
Where do you go to heal, where do you go to pray?
(Where in this world?)
When will I see a smile on your face
When will you recognize your beauty and grace
When will we live a life of thankfulness and praise
(Where in this world?)
Verse 2:
Looking round what do I see? World of illusion
Listening, what do I hear? World of confusion
Opening my heart to feel, world of seclusion
(Where in this world?)
When will we see rainbows appear?
When will we hear music of the spheres?
When will we feel a love sincere?
(Where in this world?)
Chorus:
And I may not be the holiest of angels
I may not be able to remove your blindfold
I may not be the one to save your soul
But I hold to that which is golden
Bridge:
Sleepwalker
Sleepwalker
Sleepwalker
Open your eyes
Open your mind
Peel off your disguise
We are all Magi
(Chorus)
Verse 3:
Down by the riverside, I pray and I kneel
Water runs low through concrete and steel
Dwindling away as we spin our wheels
(Where in this world?)
When will we see rivers running wild
Lush, green and free for miles upon miles
I wait like the Sphinx on the banks of the Nile
(Where in this world?)
(Chorus)
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*]
