SONG
Could have been the ship or the sea
Should have been a storm or a beacon
Might have sailed or learned how to swim
Had I only been born a human being
Maybe I’d have said nothing new
Left the planet worse than I found it
Since I’m nothing more than a song
Dreaming everyone in a circle
Singing for the day
Singing for each other
Like there was never a tomorrow
Or a past we can still remember
Maybe I’d have said something new
Made the world a place to inhabit
Since there’s nothing quite like a song
Leading everyone in a circle
Singing for the day
Singing for each other
Like there was never a tomorrow
Or a past we have not forgotten

Influential Friends

I see the sun for its love of planets
I see the moon for its love of oceans
I see the earth as a friend with influential friends
I see the sun
I see the day for its graceful aging
I see the night for its dance with darkness
I see my life as a friend with influential friends
I see the day
I see the world for its grand potential
I see the world for its evolution
I see myself as a friend with influential friends
I see the world
Go on, try it
Make a new friend –
One with influential friends

Here with Now
I could be my own reflection:
Backward, imitating real life
But I’d rather be a stranger
To the fickle looking glass eye
Why is it not enough
To be here with now?
What’s so worth having there and then forever?
Ask, is it too late to blink and look away?
Or are we really to replace reality?
You can be your own reflection:
Backward, imitating real life
Or much better, be a vision
To impressionable young eyes

When All Else Fails

When all else fails, the birds will sing
When all else fails, the day will break
When all else fails, the wind will blow
When all else fails, the end will come
When all’s quiet, you hear it well
When all’s lost, you can find it there
When all’s broken, go fix your eyes
On all else that fails to find
The this and that
The those and these
The hers and his
The yours and mine
The where and when
The why and how
Of all that's true
When all else fails, the birds will sing
When all else fails, the day will break
When all else fails, the wind will blow
When all else fails, the end will come
Of this and that
Of those and these
Of hers and his
Of yours and mine
Of where and when
Of how and why
Of all that we once thought we were

Who Made The Sky

Who made the sky
Is not the same God
Who filled up the deep
Blue heavens with stars
Who is this maker
Of sky scrape and haze?
Who made the grade
Is not the same sun
That burns through the night
To shine on strange shores
Who lights these torches
Held high for no cause?
Who made the world
Did not make the earth
No tree ever won
A prize for its shade
No ocean deigning
To wave to the sand
