Loves Desert

Land of gold, hot day,
Sea bright, sky grey,
Live with hope tonight,
I feel love's alright,

Walk in the cold, walk in the rain,
Peace in our hearts...., remains,
We believe in love,
In love again,

Over there the greatest love, when,
Over here I am all alone,
I've found real love,
In love again,

See you in the desert of our desire,
Meet me in the morning of our fire,
We'll see real love,
In love again,

Just Let Me Go

I don't hate you,
I just don't want to know you anymore,
I don't hate you,
I just need to get away from you,
I don't hate you,
I just can't see you anymore,
I don't hate you,
I just need to be free!

Please don't be angry with me,
I just need you to set me free,
Please don't be angry with me,
I just need you to see what I see,
Please don't be angry with me,
I just need you to believe,
Please don't be angry with me,
I just need to be me!

One day you will see,
Why I had to be me,

Infinity

As I reach out to you, you step back,
When I go down on my knees before you,
You kick me in the face,
What causes your pain to run so deep?
Would you hurt yourself more, to destroy me?

What do you need from me?
Before you'll let me go free?
To drift away from your hurt and pain,
So that I can be a man again!

I wish you would also want to be free,
So that we could all see,
A way to reach infinity,
Yes, you and me!

You still want to play your games,
If you call me names,
You might feel okay,
You know that only lasts for a day!

A Leap of Love

Did I ask too much?
Or am I just losing my touch?
Is it a step too far for you to leap?
Or do I just make you weep?

It's a really tough love,
Gotta find the right groove!
Reach down low and stretch,
See if it is my love you want to fetch?
You just gotta let go, and,
Let your heart leap into the flow,

Faith is what we need,
Together we can plant the seed!
What will we feel?
Is it time for us to kneel?

They say the tougher the road,
The more pain we unload,
Hey, I can see the end in sight,

Innocence

Talk to me of the innocent,
With hope in their eyes,
And love in their hearts,
Tell me their story,
Of fields of green and skies of blue,
And their love of me and you,

Lost in a foreign land,
We wind our way down winding roads,
Steady in faith, strong in heart, sure of foot,
Where were you when the earth shook?
What toil and trouble it took!

For us to look back,
Too late now, we cry,
So onward we go to new lands,
Where no one has the upper hand,
Where life can still be grand,
Where I can just be a man!

Big Deal

So you are a big deal,
Limo driver and Maitre'd,
All falling on their knees,
Anything to make you agree,
When will you break free?

King of New York City,
Go on and write me a ditty,
Show me your colours,
While you stand on our brothers,

Do you need to be a Big Deal,
In order to feel real?
Do you hate yourself so much?
Are your fans just a crutch,
So you can hobble through life?

One day when you awake,
Will it be too late?
You can still be great,

Boots of Life

They look different but act the same,
Highlands of old to streets of gold,
African sunset, red mists of pain,
Fear fills the horizon,
            
Tears they cleanse the soul,
Begging doesn't fill the bowl,
Still we hold on to love.

The time has come,
They will no longer beat the drum,
It is too late for them to run,
Naked they stand as we beat the drum,

They hung you up,
Left you with nothing,
I was gone,
You were strong, but not for long,

They told you the truth, too late,

Temple Girl

I saw a girl the other day,
A real beauty, I gotta say,
She was all flashing eyes,
Long legs and lots of sighs!

I went out of my way,
Just to hear you say,
You'll come away with me,
So that we can be free!

When you walked out that Temple door,
It felt like my nerves were rubbed raw!
What a feeling, what a day,
Forgot all about the skies, grey,

To a life still to be lived,
To happy times,
We walked away,
Our dream came true!

Magical

Today I found Grace,
She looked me right in the face!
Found the courage to stare back,
My heart opened, just a crack,
Life flooded in,
My heart filled with love and Light,
Heaven is on earth tonight!

No time to deny,
Your love is magical,
Lifting me high,
High, beyond the sky,

Can't always see what lies ahead,
Just when I thought I was dead,
Found Grace sitting on my bed,
Waiting, waiting for my heart to mend,
Opening up to love's promise, that,
With time all pain will end!

Light of Life

You are the Light of Life,
With you there can be no strife!
Beasts in foreign lands,
Feel the pain of your hands,

Those who care to hear,
Need feel no fear,
Your energy, bright,
Be with us all tonight,

In the days when devils ran,
Free across the land,
We looked for your hands,
To still the battles in foreign lands,

Now we look for your touch,
Freedom Lord, we need it much,
The time to make all things clear,
To put the light into life, draws near,
