“Change does not roll in on the wheels of inevitability, but comes through continuous struggle. And so we must straighten our backs and work for our freedom. A man can’t ride you unless your back is bent.”

“Till the clock struck fore
Then seven-the silent evermore
And I shall wonder
Once the solution became the cause
Have I slain thee oh Brother?
Have you chained my heart?
Now given and held
Dying at this insight, for wrong it is
No joke made by satanic folly
Is more corrupt than my dream”

Over your head
Under your feet
I’m near but I’m out of reach
I’m on your inside

I listen in your quiet places
I’m lookin’ at the dreams that make you smile

Look straight ahead
Don’t breathe a sound
I’m near but I’m not around
I’m on your other side

I’m looking where you keep it to yourself
I’m learnin’ what you hide for no one else

I’m on your inside

…….Open up your private pages
…….Open up your heart and let it shine
…….Like a fire in your life
…….Like it is on the inside

…Why do I care?
…The thoughts that you keep
…Your dreams are out of reach

…I’m on your side

…Don’t be ashamed
…Afraid of the light
…I’m here ’cause you know it’s right

…I’m on your side

I’m watching where your wheels are turning
I’m tapping on the strings to make you smile

…….Tell me all your private stories
…….Tell me all the dreams that make you smile
…….Make a fire in your life
…….Like you do on the inside

…….Open up your private pages
…….Open up your heart and let it shine
…….Like a fire in your life
…….Like it is on the inside…

My life
Empty, confused, meaningless
A million miles from here
A desert wind on a blinding sand dune

You appear
A life-line, a dream realized
What was dying reborn
My heart, vision rekindled

So unaware
That beauty could be mine
To hold, to love, to cherish, to nurture
In my world so cold Read the rest of this entry »
