Dreaming Of Peace
Longing for sunshine Wishing rain would cease Hoping that love comes Striving for peace
My dreams dance merely within my mind They have never been the daring kind
But perhaps the problem starts with me My failure to try to set them free
Maybe these things can still be real Supposing someone finds the strength to feel
The strength to feel sunshine The strength to ignore the rain The strength to show love to the world The strength to live together
Without shame

Tired Survivor
Darkness haunts my foolish heart Not love scarred but pain to my part Taking from my health For top marks balanced with friends Sitting with this darkness that my heart just seems to tend Tired So tired Just tired She’s just tired Constantly fried that’s how she feels, she’s just— Perpetually expired She’s just tired She’s just tired Body broken Heart rewired She’s surviving Barely now The candle flutters slowly now Tired Tired The lights flicker down She’ll be resting Resting Just not now
This Is Life
Whistling in the trees I hear the wind Crashing on the shore I hear the waves This is nature’s music
Next-door neighbor’s playing music The bright sound travels on the wind Deep drumbeats come in waves
Blasting different sound waves The loudspeaker plays its music The sound swept away by wind
Different waves Different wind Different music These are the sounds of life
