COZY COMFORT

GLIMPSE INTO THE WORLD

I give my love to you
Will you hold on to it with care
I give my hand to you
Will you take it with you everywhere

And if you part the sea
Just think how it would be
To bring a little glimpse into the world

He is a simple man
He lives inside a simple home
Though he knows a lot
He’s never set his life in stone

And if he parts the sea
Just think how it would be
To bring a little glimpse into the world

She cooks with him each night
They work a lot and money’s tight
She says her prayers each morn
And again each day she is reborn

And if she parts the sea
Just think how it would be
To bring a little glimpse into the world

And if they part the sea
Just think how it would be
To bring a little glimpse into the world

SHINE BRIGHT

If I could be on mercury
I’d shine bright, I’d shine bright
There would be great times
And I’d always feel the light

Shine bright
See the light
Shine bright
Reach a new height

Heatwaves sometimes burn
Living so close to the sun
It’s time to seek the shade
As if I’ve just begun

Shine bright
See the light
Shine bright
Reach a new height

The stars near mars
Take me to a golden place
Sprinkling light
Throughout this time and space

Shine bright
See the light
Shine bright
Reach a new height

SPEAK TO ME

Speak to me, with a light, I can see, in the night
Speak to me, with a star, with the wonder you are
Speak to me, with your way, in my life, day to day
Speak to me, with a dove, that you sent, from above

Be with me, in this life, as I learn, and I grow
Be with me, as I reach, for the kindness you show
Be with me, through my trials, through the woods, and the cold
Be with me, as I journey and follow your road

Speak to me, with an answer I did not expect
Speak to me, how to live, how to love and protect
Speak to me, without words, with the people you send
Speak to me, as I travel around the next bend

MYSTICAL PATHWAYS

Through the sliding doors
Do I go forth
Or do I stand still
Am I truly following my own will, my own will

Are faith and hope still leading me
How much can I really see
Should I say yes or say no
I’ll listen in and I’ll take it slow, take it slow

The time has now come
To let go and have some fun
Feeling my spirit fly free
Mystical pathways leading me, leading me

STANCES AND SUGGESTIONS

When I take a stance and we don’t agree
When you suggest a way that just isn’t me
Sometimes, it’s hard to see the truth
When it comes to me and you
When it comes to me and you
We’ll get through

Matters of the heart are worth all the pain
I wish I could let it rest, but it happened again
Sometimes, love is hard to do
When it comes to me and you
When it comes to me and you
We’ll get through

It’s hard to believe that we’re both right, in a way
It’s hard to find the way back out, it’s ok
Sometimes, love is hard to do
When it comes to me and you
When it comes to me and you
We’ll get through

MR. EVERYWHERE

Hey Mr. Everywhere, I’m looking back and I feel a little scared
Mr. Everywhere, When times got bad that’s when I know you cared

Now that times are good, I’m doing all the things I knew I could
Now that times are good, I hold my breath, try to do the things I should

I guess I didn’t choose, to fight a war that people usually lose
Guess I didn’t choose, It feels like you gave my soul a bruise

I guess I didn’t know, what it’s like when people run the show
Guess I didn’t know, what to do when you let me, you let me go

When I hear a tune, I guess it’s just the way I hear from you
When I hear a tune, I hope it's good for you to be my muse

Hey Mr. Everywhere, When times got bad that’s when I know you cared
Mr. Everywhere, I’m looking back and I feel a little scared

THE BEST I CAN

Heard about a child that died
From a friend who was asking why
If love is what you are
Why did you make that scar

Gonna give it the best I can
Even if I don’t understand
Gonna give it the best I can
Today, Today

He begs to get some change each day
As he moves from train to train
He says “God bless you” when you give
Why does he live the way he lives

Gonna give it the best I can
Even if I don’t understand
Gonna give it the best I can
Today, Today

The Sabbath has three days
All our teachers went their separate ways
Only God knows why God takes a child
Only God knows why God takes a child

Gonna give it the best I can
Even if I don’t understand
Gonna give it the best I can
Today, Today , Today, Today

STAY HERE

What if there were no words to speak
Nothing sentimental left to keep
What if all the lands just turned to sea
I want to stay here
I want to stay here
I want to stay the way we are

What if there were no songs to hear
No melodies for our ears
What if all the days just turned to years
I want to stay here
I want to stay here
I want to stay the way we are

What if wishes just can’t go that far
And life’s ups and downs are too hard
What if all our souls turned into stars
I want to stay here
I want to stay here
I want to stay the way we are

CREATIVE CRAFT

My flowing faith and steadfast surrender
Honoring my voice and creating by choice
Trusting my truth and writing to sooth
Singing to music and finding my tune

Claiming my creative craft

Source of my power and activation
Realizing my riveting revelations
Peaceful and purposeful participation
Tranquil trails to transformation

To savor, seek, to dream and desire

COME TO ME

Come to me, Come to me
There’s nowhere else you need to be
You go away, I want you near
When you come back, I’ll still be here

Be with me, Be with me
I’m the one you need to feel
When you’re down, when things are tough
I’ll open up and give you love

When we talk, When we talk
I appreciate all your thoughts
You have a view, and you are kind
You make me feel, that you are mine

Sit with me, Sit with me
There’s no other place you need to be
Just hold my hand, and touch me soft
Listen kind, and share your thoughts

FIND MY SONG

Knew someday you’d come along
Knew someday I’d find my song
Music is never really wrong
Music is never really wrong

Never thought things would be this way
Never thought I’d be at this day
I just want to let my music play
I just want to let my music play

My songs are the only work I know
My songs always put me in my flow
I just want to make the music glow
I just want to make the music glow

Knew someday you’d come along
Knew someday I’d find my song
Music is never really wrong
Music is where I belong

IN MY HEART

In my heart
There’s a time and a place
In my heart
There is the Lord’s grace
I’m with you
Please lend me your hand
I’m with you
Let me know where you stand

In my mind
I made the pain hide
In my mind
I made the pain die
In my heart
My feelings collide
In my heart
The pain is magnified

I’m not through
There must be a way
I’m not through
To hear what you say
Better days
I’m going to be one
Better days
I’ll never be done

HUMMINGBIRD

Hummingbird, where is your flower?
Hummingbird, where have you flown?
Hummingbird, let’s talk tomorrow
You’re there when I’m alone

Did you tell them that I am alright?
Did you tell them I’ll be fine?
Did you tell them how I feel inside?
You are a friend of mine

DREAMWALK

Woke up with a smile
Daydreamed for awhile
Starting something new
Butterflies and morning dew

Closer with each step
Wondering what is next
Discovering new clues
Of all there is to choose

Dreamwalk
Dreamwalk
Could this be everything that I’ve sought?

Imagining who is there
Showing that I care
Joining a new crew
Learning who is who

Possibilities in sight
Triumph takes flight
Carrying me through
Showing me all I can do

Dreamwalk
Dreamwalk
Could this be everything that I’ve sought?

Dreamwalk
Dreamwalk
Could this be everything that I’ve sought?

MICHIGAN

There was a rose, it was adorned
It was cut, stripped of its thorns
It made a gift, on a first date
Became a kiss, that would not fade

O Michigan, I said goodbye
To your lakes, and lonely skies
I will play, my violin
Make a song, that never ends

There was a storm, it closed the roads
They made a fire, it warmed their home
They went to bed, the storm was wild
In the morn’, there was a child

O Michigan, I said goodbye
To your lakes, and lonely skies
I will play, my violin
Make a song, that never ends

There was a bird, inside a church
It would not leave, there from its perch
The couple came, and said I do
The song bird chirped, it sang a tune

O Michigan, I said goodbye
To your lakes, and lonely skies
I will play, my violin
Make a song, that never ends

UNDERGROUND TRAIN

When it happens, we won’t be the same
When it happens, we won’t be the same
Nothing like waiting for the underground train

I’ll move over, I’ll get out of the way
I’ll move over, I’ll get out of the way
Nothing like waiting for the underground train

You never know, how it’s gonna change
You never know, how it’s gonna change
We’re just waiting for the underground train

BRIGHT SPOTS

I always hoped for lots of bright spots
Rainbows, sunbeams, stars and raindrops
Listen carefully to the stream glide
Waves, waterfalls and perfect blue sky

Traveling to and fro
Reaching far and wide
Thrilled to have you there
Always by my side

Sprinkling melodies
In every way we can
Breath of fresh air
When we’re home again

I always hoped for lots of bright spots
Rainbows, sunbeams, stars and raindrops
Listen carefully to the stream glide
Waves, waterfalls and perfect blue sky

SPIRITUAL DANCE

Stretching, posing, reaching
For that ancient healing
Breathing and transforming
Soul silently swirling

Breaking free
Being me
Spiritual Dance

Breaking free
Being me
Spiritual Dance

Calmly, quietly elated
Earth appreciated
Inner peace kicks in
Spirit wakes within

Breaking free
Being me
Spiritual Dance

Breaking free
Being me
Spiritual Dance

A meditating trance
Of the yoga dance
Practiced to renew
Designed to balance you

Breaking free
Being me
Spiritual Dance

Breaking free
Being me
Spiritual Dance

ALCHEMY BOX

Put it in a box
The thought of you
My dearest wish
Will it come true?

Some words that I
Wrote in a poem
My favorite ring
And wishing stone

Put it in a box
A thank you card
A perfect gift
A purple star

A candle with
A special light
A fragrance for
That special night

Alchemy box
That wishful dream
Of things to come
Of things unseen

Put it on a shelf
And let it rest
Next time you look
You will be blessed

 

†DARLING

ALL THE BEST

Try my best for you
Try my best for you
All my days are yours
And my nights are true

All the best for you
All the best for you
I’ll never try to hurt you
I’ll never change my tune

I’ll be there for you
I’ll be there for you
I’ll stand beside you
In everything you do

I’ll lay next to you
I’ll lay next to you
It will always be Me
It will always be You

I BELIEVE

Strong and bold as the wind
Clear and cool as the water
I believe, I believe

Stable and solid as the earth
Blazing and daring as the fire
I believe, I believe

Shadows of clouds around here
Feelings of doubt disappear
Sweet love makes its way
Smiles all day!

Strong and bold as the wind
Clear and cool as the water
Stable and solid as the earth
Blazing and daring as the fire
I believe, I believe

Blue notes turn to rainbows
Red robins sing love’s motto
Melodies all around
Love that sound!

Strong and bold as the wind
Clear and cool as the water
Stable and solid as the earth
Blazing and daring as the fire
I believe, Oh Oh, I believe

DUSK TO DAWN

If you don’t know what to say, I’ll understand
If you don’t think that our god, has any plan, I really hear you

I’ll be there, a gentle ear
It’s you I want to hear, there is nothing you should fear

If you’re lost inside your head, so deep in thought
If the world around you, makes you distraught, I really wonder

I’ll be there dusk to dawn
When your day is long, I know all your doubts are strong

If I disagree, and make you all upset
If I argue will you, forgive and forget, I really love you

I’ll give my all to you
It’s just what I’ll do, I will always see us through

It’s love that makes the day
Love is the only way, That’s all that I can say

It’s love that makes the day
Love is the only way, That’s all that I can say

GO

Rock n Roll you woke me up
You say you wouldn’t let me go
Tried to turn my back
The answer was no

Pick myself up
Get ready to roll
Let’s get it on
Let’s get up and go

Oh Oh Oh Go
Oh Oh Oh Go

They say you’re dead
I know it’s not so
You’re in my head
And I’m turning cold

I’m sick of fighting
And I’m growing old
You’re one lover
I’ll never outgrow

Oh Oh Oh Go
Oh Oh Oh Go

Rock n Roll you woke me up
You say you wouldn’t let me go
I tried to quit you
And you said no

You got my soul
And you won’t let go
I’m still with you
I’m ready to roll

Oh Oh Oh Go
Oh Oh Oh Go

JUST LET ME KNOW

In a world where victory reigns
People can all seem the same
Trouble is hidden away
Too much tunnel vision today

Your joy, your sorrow
Your tears, your fears, my dear
Just let me know, Just let me know

Dressing up again to go out
Full of fears and doubt
Mingling throughout a party
Tempted by pride and glory

Your joy, your sorrow
Your tears, your fears, my dear
Just let me know, Just let me know

At home you can rest
Be your worst or your best
Truth and peace at last found
A soothing soul blanket surrounds

Your joy, your sorrow
Your tears, your fears, my dear
Just let me know, Just let me know

Your joy, your sorrow
Your tears, your fears, my dear
Just let me know, Just let me know

Just let me know

Just let me know

PURPLE PALETTE

Purple palette, plum moon
Magenta stars
Special place, where we go
We call ours

Lilac rooms, violet vibes
Warm and glowing
Cozy, carefree, colorful nights
Candlelight flowing

Here we are
We’ve come so far
To become
Who we are
HERE WE ARE
HERE WE ARE

Delicious dinner, lavender scents
In the air
Lost in time, bubbling over
So grateful to be here

Playful laughter, loving touch
Tender reminisce
Two hearts, filled with hope
Our purple palette promise

Here we are
We’ve come so far
To become
Who we are
HERE WE ARE
HERE WE ARE

OUR DAY

We are strangers from the city
We left behind our home
We are going on a journey
Where we’ll never be alone

We had our day in the country
Said our vows in the country
We didn’t know there’d be a full moon
It hid the stars in our room

On a mountain by a lake
Sealed with a kiss
There were pearls on the cake
A day of happiness

We had our day in the country
Said our vows in the country
We didn’t know there’d be a full moon
It hid the stars in our room

 

†PAISLEY FAITH

FOREVER FINDING YOU

How the promise of you
Rings so loud and so true
A time and space anew
Doused with deepest déjà vu

Holding hearts faithful again
Wishful whispers of how and when
Loves lavish timeless treasure
Nearing closer and closer

Forever Finding You
Forever Finding You
The Promise of You

Navigating our north star
Whenever, wherever we are
Echo of the soul twin
Luminating love from within

From here and over there
I dream, you dream of where
Destined paths show how to go
Can’t explain how we know

Forever Finding You
Forever Finding You
The Promise of You

Yet now and then we knew
How and what to do
To make it across and through
Life after life as two

Forever Finding You
Forever Finding You
The Promise of You
A Lifetime As Two

ANGEL ON THE WALL

It is your daughter that gave me birth
It is you who has left the earth
In what I am you played your part
You will not fade from my heart

Watching over our shoulders
Guiding us as we grow older
I know you love us all
You’re the angel on the wall

What did you think of me
When I was just a baby
How did I change your life
When I cried out in the night

Watching over our shoulders
Guiding us as we grow older
I know you love us all
You’re the angel on the wall

Your wise words and loving voice
Thanks for your strength and poise
Your angel light will always be
A precious love that carries me

Watching over our shoulders
Guiding us as we grow older
I know you love us all
You’re the angel on the wall

ROUND & ROUND

Round and round, hand in hand
Come on ladies, swing your man
Do not worry, where you’re going to land

Come on gents, row your boat
Do not worry, if it floats
Oh my god, I missed another note

Round and round, do-si-doe
Where it leads, I just don’t know

Grab your partner, and around you go

Round and round, holding hands
Grab a shoulder, if you can
I don’t know, when I’ll take a stand

Listen up, God’s awake
I don’t know, what it takes
A gentle peace, is dreamed upon this land

Round and round, do-si-doe
Where it leads, I just don’t know
Grab your partner, and around you go

Round and round, fold your hands
Come on children, take a stand
Do it gently, everywhere you can

Round and round, do-si-doe
Where it leads, I just don’t know
Grab your partner, and around you go

GENTLE REMINDER

Heard about a faraway war,
Fought with American guns,
Heard about that crummy stuff,
And I wish the people would run.

Killing people ‘s not right
Killing people ‘s not right
Killing people ‘s not right
And I just don’t want to fight

Walked outside the other day,
To see the people with smiles,
Walked inside a movie house
And I watched dead people for a while

Killing people ‘s not right
Killing people ‘s not right
Killing people ‘s not right
And I just don’t want to fight

Read the news the other day,
And I have to ask myself why,
Fifteen dead and two in bed
And I still can’t make myself cry

Killing people ‘s not right
Killing people ‘s not right
Killing people ‘s not right
And I just don’t want to fight

Killing people is wrong
Killing people is wrong
Killing people is wrong
And I hope you like this song

MOTHERBAND

Lord Almighty, do you really care
Lord Almighty, do you really care
I’m all confused, do you hear my prayer

Broken Lover, will you listen to me
Broken Lover, will you listen to me
I have a feeling, I was hoping you’d see

Motherband, when are you gonna land
Motherband, when are you gonna land
I’m broken-hearted, I can’t take a stand

ABUNDANCE

Surrounded by serenity
Swirling breezes cooling me
Sunsets, streams, mountain views
Your bliss savors and renews

When I open my heart
And I look to your stars
There’s an abundance of love

Beautiful, beckoning blue sky
Luscious leaves slide by and fly
Musical melodies hum in the wind
Tree branches twirl, twist and bend

When I open my heart
And I look to your stars
There’s an abundance of love

Whispering pines lead the way
Comforting clouds glide all day
Magical moonlite lights up time
Heavenly horizons smile and shine

When I open my heart
And I look to your stars
There’s an abundance of love

LAZY DAY

Paisley Faith, inside my heart
Living life, playing my part
Lazy day, feeling carefree
Picturing peace, all around me

I feel sparkling sunshine
I see a table and red wine
Happiness is following me
Just like a little puppy

Humming my song, whistle and skip
Making a smile, with a big tip
Dreaming of fun, planning a trip
Trying on jeans, to see if they fit

I want laughter and talk
And then we’ll go for a walk
I know a perfect place
Where we set our own pace

I see a dinner for two
Being relaxed, telling the truth
Waiting on line, without a care
Talking to strangers, the wind in my hair

Restful day, all afternoon
Getting dressed up, thinking of you
Petting my cat, making the bed
Wonderful thoughts, inside my head

Paisley Faith, inside my heart
Living life, playing my part
Lazy day, feeling carefree
Picturing peace, all around me
