LOST CHILD

CHILDREN LOST CHILDREN FOUND

ALL OUR DREAMS LAY UNDERGROUND

BEING THERE FOR ALL THESE YEARS

WOEFULL LIVES AND WOEFULL TEARS

MAKING ALL OUR LIVES REGRESS

BLAMING IT ALL ON DAYTIME STRESS

BUT ALL THE TIME WE KEEP IT HIDDEN

BECAUSE WE THOUGHT IT WAS FORBIDDEN

NOW IT’S COMING OUT ON TOP

AND ONE DAY OUT IT SOON WILL POP

ALL OUR DREAMS WE KEEP WELL HIDDEN

BECAUSE WE THOUGHT IT WAS FORBIDDEN

TO LOVE TO CRY TO FEAR TO HATE

ALL THE TIME WE SHUT THE GATE

TO ALL THE ONES WE LOVE AND CHERISH

AND HOUR BY HOUR THE LOVE WE PERISH

UNTIIL WE FIND THE REASON WHY

OUR LIFE IS LIVED UPON A LIE

THE DREAMS THE THOUGHTS THE LIFE WILL DIE

IF ONLY ONCE WE COULD TRY

TO GET THE TRUTH OUT IN THE OPEN

THEN WE CAN SAY WERE TRULY COPING


 

HUMANS CAN NOT FLY

I ONCE MET A MAN ONE DAY

WHO TOLD ME HE COULD FLY

WHY HE REALLY TOLD ME THIS

I REALLY DON’T KNOW WHY

HE SAID HE FLEW DOWN TO BRAZIL

THE WEATHER WAS SO BLEAK

IT TOOK TWO DAYS TO GET THERE

TO FLY BACK TOOK A WEEK

THEN HE FLEW TO PISA

TO GAZE UPON THE TOWER

BEING SO CLOSE TO US

ONLY TOOK AN HOUR

HE ONLY FLEW IN DAYLIGHT

BUT TRIED IT IN THE DARK

AND LANDED IN THE OCEAN

AND WAS EATEN BY A SHARK

THE MORAL OF THIS STORY

IS HUMANS CAN NOT FLY

SO KEEP YOUR FEET ON THE GROUND

IT’S FOOLISH JUST TO TRY

   

DARKNESS RESIDES

I WANT THIS THING I HAVE TO PASS

I WANT TO KICK IT IN THE ARSE

IVE HAD IT FOR TO LONG YOU SEE

THE DARKNESS THAT’S INSIDE OF ME

TO PLUCK IT OUT FROM WHERE IT HIDES

WHERE IT IS HIDDEN WHERE IT RESIDES

ALL THE TRUTH THEN I WILL SEE

WHAT THE FEAR IS INSIDE OF ME

WHY DO I ALWAYS STAND AND WAIT

WHY CAN I NOT OPEN UP THE GATE

TO FIND OUT WHAT IT IS I HATE

TO GO RIGHT IN AND NOT PROCRASTINATE

SO NOW I HAVE TO MAKE A STAND

AND OFFER OUT A LOVING HAND

THEN ALL MY FEAR AND ALL THE DREAD

AND ALL THE THOUGHTS INSIDE MY HEAD

WILL ONE DAY SPREAD THIER WINGS AND FLY

AND THEN MY LIFE WON’T BE A LIE

NOW IS THE TIME FOR ME TO FIGHT

TO GET IT OUT AND NOT TAKE FLIGHT

TO FACE THIS HORROR THAT’S WITHIN

SO I CAN START ALL OVER AGAIN

I HAVE TO FREE WHAT I AM YEARNING

TO MAKE MYSELF WHOLE TO MAKE MYSELF FREE

IT TAKES TIME IT TAKES COURAGE

SO I MUST NOT BE DISCOURAGED

TO WHERE ANGELS FEAR TO TREAD

TO FACE THE HURT TO FACE THE DREAD

 

DARKNESS INSIDE

FOR OURSELVES WE DO DECIEVE

FOR OURSELVES WE DON’T BELIEVE

HIDDEN THOUGHTS AND HIDDEN DREAMS

HIDDEN SHOUTS AND HIDDEN SCREAMS

NEVER KNOWING DAY BY DAY

WHY WE REALLY ARE THIS WAY

PERHAPS ONE DAY AROUND I’LL TURN

THEN THESE THOUGHTS I’LL REALY SPURN

THEN THE LIGHT WILL THEN SHINE THROUGH

THEN TO MYSELF I WILL BE TRUE

WE HAVE NO REASON TO TAKE FLIGHT

WHAT GIVES ME WORRY WHAT GIVES ME FRIGHT

WHAT MAKES ME THINK I CAN NOT COPE

I LOSE ALL REASON I LOSE ALL HOPE

OF ALL THE THINGS I TRY TO HIDE

THAT CAUSES TURMOIL ALL INSIDE

WHAT HOPE HAVE I TO LIVE A LIFE

FREE OF WORRY FREE OF STRIFE

WHAT IS THIS THING I CANNOT FACE

THE THING THAT’S HIDDEN IN ITS PLACE

DOWN INSIDE MY SOUL IT HIDES

DOWN DEEP INSIDE THE THING RESIDES

NOT EVER COMING TO THE LIGHT

PERHAPS LIKE ME IT’S FULL OF FRIGHT

 

LONELY GIRL

THERE IS THIS LONELY GIRL

WHO SITS ALONE AND CRIES

MANY PEOPLE SEE HER

MANY PEOPLE PASS HER BY

IN THIS WORLD OF MANY

WHY SHOULD SHE BE ALONE

IN THIS WORLD OF PLENTY

WHY HAS SHE GOT NO HOME

THERE IS THIS LONELY GIRL

WHO SITS ALONE AND CRIES

WHY DO WE NOT REACH OUT TO HER

AND GIVE HER ALL OUR LOVE

JUST LIKE WE WERE PROMISED

BY THE GOD ABOVE

MAYBE IF WE JUST REACH OUT

HER LONELY TEARS WILL DRY

AND MAYBE IF OUR LOVE IS STRONG

AND MAYBE IF WE TRY

THIS LONELY GIRL WON’T BE ALONE

HER LONELY HEART WON’T DIE

THERE IS THIS LONELY GIRL

WHO SITS ALONE AND CRIES

 

GEORGE THE GOOSE

A GOOSE CALLED GEORGE WOKE UP ONE DAY

AND FOUND HE COULD NOT FLY

NO MATTER HOW HE DID IT

OR HOW MUCH HE TRIED

GEORGE CAME TO THE CONCLUSION

THAT HE COULD NOT FLY

NOW ALL THE REST FLEW SOUTH

TO FRANCE AND ONTO RIO

BUT GEORGE HAD TO BE CONTENT

AND STAY WITH A PIG NAMED CLEO

NOW CHRISTMAS CAME AS IT ALWAYS DID

NO TURKEY COULD BE FOUND

SO FARMER JONES SAID WHY NOT GOOSE

IT’S GOT TO BE TEN POUND

THE FARMYARD TELEGRAPH WAS RIFE

WITH POOR OLD GEORGE’S QUICK DEMISE

SO CLEO SAID TO GEORGE ONE DAY

YOU’D BETTER RUN AND HIDE

FOR FARMER JONES HAS NOTHING

TO FEED HIS BLOOMING LOT

AND CLEO SAID TO GEORGE

YOU FOR THE COOKING POT

SO GEORGE HID UNDER ALL THE HAY

TO WAIT THERE FOR HIS FATE

WHEN HE HEARD OLD FARMER JONES

COMING THROUGH THE GATE

BUT HE WAS KIND OF CARELESS

AND FELL INSIDE THE GATE

AND WHEN HE LANDED ON THE GROUND

THE AXE FELL ON HIS HEAD

THE AXE IT OPENED UP A WOUND

THE BLOOD IT TRICKELED OUT

HE COULD NOT OPEN UP HIS MOUTH

FOR HELP HE COULD NOT SHOUT

SO GEORGE CREPT OUT FROM INSIDE THE SHED

THE SCENE IT CAUGHT HIS GASE

HE HAD TO RUN BACK TO THE HOUSE

THE ALARM HE HAD TO RAISE

HE SAVED THE LIFE OF FARMER JONES

THIS VOW HE DID DECIDE

THAT GEORGE WOULD LIVE HIS LIFE OUT

UNTIL THE DAY HE DIED.

 

 

FEARFUL DREAD

YESTERDAY I FELT SAD INSIDE

MY FEAR MY TRAUMA I CAN NOT HIDE

I NEED TO GO INSIDE MY SOUL

TO MAKE ME FILLED TO MAKE ME WHOLE

I FELT REJECTED, NEGLECTED AND STUPID

I NEED A PERSON WITH THE ARROW OF CUPID

TO PIERCE THE DARKNESS I FEEL INSIDE

NO LONGER FOR MY FEARS TO HIDE

WHAT DO I WANT WHAT DO I FEAR

TO ME IT IS NOT REALLY CLEAR

WHY I RUN AND HIDE AND FEAR

I CAN NOT TELL I CAN NOT HEAR

LAST NIGHT AS I LAY INSIDE MY BED

ALL THE THOUGHTS RAN THROUGH MY HEAD

WHAT IS THE THING THAT IS WELL HIDDEN

TO MAKE ME SAD TO MAKE ME DRIVEN

THAT CAUSES ALL THIS FEARFULL DREAD

THIS PAIN AND TORTURE IN MY HEAD

THIS DEMON THAT I CAN NOT TOUCH

THAT IS STILL USING ME FOR A CRUTCH

ONE DAY I HOPE I WILL DRIVE IT OUT

THEN I WILL BE ABLE TO SHOUT

GLORY BE TODAY IM FREE

 

STUCK FOR WORDS

WHAT LOOKS YOU GIVE WHAT WORDS YOU UTTER

WHEN YOU FIND I HAVE A STUTTER

YOU LOOK AT ME AS IF I’M CURSED

YOU LOOK AT ME AND EVEN WORSE

YOU THINK IM DAFT YOU THINK IM LOONY

YOU THINK IVE JUST COME FROM THE MOONY

WHY DO YOU LAUGH WHY CARN’T YOU SEE

THE PERSON THAT’S INSIDE OF ME

I LOVE I LAUGH I HURT I CRY

ONE DAY LIKE YOU I’LL EVEN DIE

DON’T YOU THINK I DESERVE A CHANCE

TO GROW TO LIVE AND TO ADVANCE

WHY CARN’T YOU UNDERSTAND IN ME

FOR I AM HERE FOR ALL TO SEE

BUT YOU KEEP ME LOCKED INSIDE MY PRISON

AND MY SOUL HAS NEVER RISEN

TO THE HIEGHTS THAT YOU FEEL

FULL OF LIFE AND FULL OF ZEAL

I HAVE THIS TROUBLE WITH MY TALKING

BUT YOU STAND THIER BLOODY GAULKING

IT’S NOT CONTAGIOUS YOU WON’T CATCH IT

ON THE SURFACE YOU WON’T SCRATCH IT

SO WHEN THE REASON I DO TALK

ALL YOU DO IS STAND AND GAULK

IT’S JUST ME THAT’S STANDING THERE

SO WHY THE LOOKS AND WHY THE STARE

I’M JUST HUMAN AS YOU SEE

I DID NOT CHOOSE IT, IT CHOSE ME

SO STOP THE WAY YOU’RE TREATING ME

IM JUST LIKE YOU AS YOU CAN SEE

 

YOU’RE SON

WHY DON’T YOU SEE WHAT I HAVE DONE

AFTER ALL I’M STILL YOUR SON

WHAT IS THIS THING THAT YOU HATE

WHY DO YOU ALWAYS CLOSE THE GATE

ALL THE LIES THROUGHOUT THE YEARS

ALL THE UPSET PAIN AND TEARS

WHY CARN’T YOU LOVE ME FOR JUST ME

AND NOT FOR SOMEONE I COULD BE

MY OWN LIFE IS WHAT IVE GOT

THAT’S THE THING THAT YOU FORGOT

IT’S MY OWN LIFE AND INDEED

EVEN IF I DON’T SUCCEED

WHAT IS THIS THING THAT I HAVE DONE

AFTER ALL I’M STILL YOUR SON

ALL THE WORDS THAT YOU HAVE SPOKEN

ALL THE PROMISES YOU HAVE BROKEN

FOR FORTY YEARS IVE HAD THIS PAIN

FOR FORTY YEARS YOU’VE WATCHED ME DRAIN

ALWAYS TELLING ME YOUR LIE

KEEPING IT HIDDEN UNTIL YOU DIE

BUT I DON’T CARE FOR I HAVE RISEN

UP ABOVE YOUR HUMAN PRISON

ALL THESE WORDS I HAVE SPOKEN

SAY GOODBYE THE BONDS ARE BROKEN

 

COMFORT

I HAVE NO SISTERS BROTHERS TOO

YOU HAVE SOMEONE TO COMFORT YOU

I HAD NO ONE WITH GOOD INTENT

BECAUSE I HAD AN ACCIDENT

NO ONE WOULD LISTEN TO MY PLEA

NO ONE CAME TO COMFORT ME

A LITTLE BOY THAT HAD LOST HIS WAY

ALL YOU SAID WAS GO AND PLAY

YOU NEVER SAW THE HURT IN ME

YOU NEVER LISTENED TO MY PLEA

YOU JUST LIED AND MADE ME SEE

YOU NEVER CAME TO COMFORT ME

ALL THE LIES AND ALL THE TEARS

AND ALL THE BITTER BITTER YEARS

WHY DON’T YOU LOOK WHY DON’T YOU SEE

BUT ALL YOU DO IS LOOK THROUGH ME

YOU NEVER SAW THE HURT IN ME

YOU NEVER LISTENED TO MY PLEA

YOU JUST LIED AND MADE ME SEE

YOU NEVER CAME TO COMFORT ME

SO WHATS MY LIFE BUT JUST A LIE

I JUST HANG MY HEAD AND CRY

FOR YOUTH THAT’S LOST AND LOVE THAT’S GIVEN

AND THE LIFE THAT’S NOT YET RISEN

 

IT’S DARK IN THERE

JUST WAIT THERE ILL GET YOU OUT

AND OF THAT THERE IS NO DOUBT

I KNOW ITS DARK I KNOW ITS DISMAL

AND AT TIMES IT’S SO ABISSMAL

BUT STAY RIGHT THERE BECAUSE IM COMING

FAST AS I CAN FAST AS IM RUNNING

THEN AT LAST WE WILL BE FREE

ALL THE LIES THAT KEPT YOU HIDDEN

FOR THE THINGS YOU WERE NOT FORGIVEN

JUST COME OUT AND BE MY FRIEND

ALL THIS TIME YOUV’E BEEN ALONE

ALL THE TIME YOUV’E HAD NO HOME

JUST WAIT THERE AND YOU WILL SEE

ALL YOU ARE IS REALLY ME.

ONCE CAME TO THE CITY

TO HAVE A LOOK AROUND

HE SAT DOWN ON A BENCH

IN THE PRETTY PARK

AND THEN HE SLOWLY FELL ASLEEP

AND WOKE UP IN THE DARK

IN THE CITY AFTER DARK

IT WASN’T SUCH A GOOD IDEA

IT WASN’T SUCH A LARK

A LADY OF THE NIGHT

WENT PASSING BY THE BENCH

AND SAID TO OUR YOUNG TOMMY

AND RAN AWAY IN FRIGHT

AND VOWED TO RETURN HOME

IT WON’T BE THERE

AS PAGES OF OUR LIVES UNFOLD

WHAT WONDERS DO WE SEE

FOR OTHER FOLKS TO SEE

OR DO WE RUIN EVERYTHING

WITH GREED AND RAPE AND PLUNDER

ALL THE TIME DOES MOTHER EARTH

EVER WINGE AND WONDER

DOES SHE EVER GIVE US A BILL

FOR THINGS WE TAKE FOR GRANTED

AND THE THINGS GROWING HERE

FOR ALL THE THINGS SHE PLANTED
