BEFORE I WAS DREAMING
I’m changing my ways
All of my ways
If I don’t live for today
I’ve only myself to blame
I’ll take down, everything above me
And leave behind everything before me
And be here
Before I was dreaming
Before I was dreaming my life away
I’m changing my name
And all the words that I say
I will make a new way
Night has become day
A new day, that old door I’m closing
I’ll leave it all behind, cause all I need is knowing…
To be here
Before I was dreaming
Before I was dreaming my life away

No one else

NO ONE ELSE
Every minute, every hour
Some bloom just like the flower
Every night and every day
Some will find they’ve lost their way
What you’ve got to give, no one else will give
What you’ve got to be, no one else will be
The way you see, no one else shall see
What you’ve got to live, no one else can live
Like me, like you
Someone gives and someone takes
Someone builds another breaks
Some are sleeping in the night
Some are waking to the light
What you’ve got to give, no one else will give
What you’ve got to be, no one else will be
The way you see, no one else shall see
What you’ve got to live, no one else can live.

The House of Tomorrow

THE HOUSE OF TOMORROW
When I am the Night Sky
You will be Starlight,
Raining down on a dreaming world.
And the Horizons will see
Your perfections
In the stars and constellations.
Over the land,
Over the sea
As close to heaven
As we can be.
Only say the word
And I will believe it
Not built of walls
Is the House of Tomorrow.
These days burning bright
And these sands blinding
Have become our detestation.
Across the Sky
Two stars undying
Has become our destination.
Over the land,
Over the sea
As close to Heaven
As we can be.
Only say the word
And I will believe it
Not built of walls
Is the House of Tomorrow.

WATCHING
On the field of life
Through days of passing time
I will not lose
I will delight.
The Sun anoints me
And the Moon appoints me
To see in all ways
Is to see as always.
In the seed, the flower and the thorn
The calm in the storm.
Where Wars abide
And Hatred thrives
You will see there
Love arise.
And if you divine
Or maybe scry
You’ll see in all ways
You’ll see as always.
In the seed, the flower and the thorn
The calm in the storm.
From rise and climb comes fall behind
From the deepest night the dawning light
Through the veils of the mind to clear and open skies
From all turning time the hour arrives.
In the seed, the flower and the thorn
The calm in the storm.

TODAY IS TOMORROW’S YESTERDAY
Time is flying, you’ll believe me when I say
Today is tomorrow’s yesterday
Leaves are falling and the wind forever blows
Clouds are drifting and the rivers flow.
Like the clouds
I’m drifting high
Like the wind
I wander wide
Through creation’s roundelay
Singing “Glory be”
To the Good Red Way.
Time is flying, you’ll believe me when I say
Today is tomorrow’s yesterday
Leaves are falling and the wind forever blows
Clouds are drifting and the rivers flow.
Like a stream
I will flow
Like the leaves
I will fall
Through creation’s lullaby
To the sweet
Bye and bye.
Time is flying, you’ll believe me when I say
Today is tomorrow’s yesterday
