Fortunes Found

When the winter came,
There were fortunes found,
Beneath the buried snow,
In the ancient ground.
Though the treasure there,
Made from melted guns,
Were it ever gold,
It could never be enough.
In their hearts they knew,
That the search was done.
So they made new God’s,
And worshipped them.
When the end it came,
There was not but fear,
For love was found and delivered to me.
Done, delivered to me.
New peace,
New love,
New light.
What if all we knew,
What if all that’s been said,
Was invented in the heads of men?
If we are free to be what we choose,
Then your dream is found and delivered to you.
Done, delivered to you.
New peace,
New love,
New light.

Wading out into waist high water,
Such a feeling at a time like this.
We live a good life we all know,
Why fortune favors only some, I wonder?
All alone out in the world,
In my minds eye, it’s all connected.
We learned it young what ties us all
Together through this only life we’re bound to.
Love conquers all, wide awake for the ones who want it.
Deep inside, it’s all the same.
Same blood, same heart, pounding.
If it’s not what you want,
If it’s not what you need,
You don’t have to chase your sorrow,
In spite of what you think.
I guess we all end up the same,
Who am I to know what death delivers?
To wait it out’s a losing game,
Turn on your mind forever in a moment.
If it’s not what you want,
If it’s not what you need,
You don’t have to chase your sorrow,
In spite of what you think.

Where Was I Today?

So much time wasted.
I sold my soul for a taste.
When it’s coming on,
When you’re feeling it,
When you held it all, in your hands.
So I went further searching.
I lost myself in the race.
When it’s coming on,
When you’re feeling it,
When you had it all slip away.
Where was I today?
Lost out in the haze.
And it’s coming on,
And I’m feeling it,
Living life and all in your head.

Still Turning

Struck dumb by the evidence,
No rain, fire in the distance.
Burnt bush only had to say,
"Thick smoke is drinking down like poison."
I'm terrified as I sell the lie
High time, precarious.
Stoned blind, somehow, the world's still turning.
My mind is a wilderness of lost trails,
Dreaming different endings.
Like the one when the earthquakes,
My lord is deaf and too distracted.
The aesthetic fades at the end of days.
High time, precarious.
Stoned blind, somehow, the world's still turning.
Down on the beat, near the dead end street,
In the heat of night where your dreams survive.
You had it once, a rock to stand.
You've lost it now, still trying.
All are welcome in, still trying.
It's time to heal these old wounds together,
Revival in a big top, under bright stars and a moon.
This life we lead is all too sweet for certain,
If only for a moment before it goes away.
