"MY BABY,MY CHILD"

YOU WERE SOMETHING
     I NEVER FORSEEN COMING.
YOU GAVE TO ME,
     SOMETHING I NEVER THOUGHT
              I DID EVER RECIEVE.....

IT WAS THE GIFT
OF A NEW BORN CHILD.
SOMETHING MIRACLOUS,
SOMETHING WILD.....

DAYS ON END I DID WORRY,
DOTTIN' O'ER YOU LIKE
A SILLY FATHER,
IM SURE YOU THOUGHT I WAS......

PAINTING YOUR ROOM BLUE,
WITH WINNIE THE POOH
WATCHIN' O'ER YOU,
AS SNOOPY STOOD GUARD
AS YOU SNOOZED......

HOW THEN DID GOD
DECIDE FOR YOU TO GO?
HOW THEN DID HE DECIDE
HE WANTED YOU HOME?

THEY SAY YOU WERE TOO GOOD
FOR THIS WORLD.
WELL...I LIKE TO THINK SO TOO.
BUT I WISH YOU WERE HERE STILL...
SO I COULD GO CRAZY
WORRYIN' 'BOUT YOU......

OH MY BABY, MY CHILD....
SLEEP IN PEACE IN THE ARMS
OF THE LORD TONIGHT.....

SAY HELLO TO GRANDMA
AND GRANDPA TOO
AND DONT YOU GIVE THEM
TOO MUCH OF A HARD TIME,
NOW CHILD, YOU BETTER
MIND WHAT THEY SAY......

MY BABY, MY CHILD....
SLEEP IN PEACE IN THE ARMS
OF THE LORD TONIGHT.....

ON THOSE TINY WINGS,
BE CAREFUL WHERE YOU FLY...

MY BABY, MY CHILD...
I LOVE YOU MORE
EVERYDAY.
17 YEARS AND ITS STILL LIKE
YESTERDAY,
WHEN GOD TOOK YOU AWAY...

BUT YOU ARE HERE IN MY HEART
AND IN MY HEART YOU WILL STAY.
AND THEY SAY
THAT TIME HEALS ALL WOUNDS,
WELL....

I STILL MISS YOU MORE
            THAN I DID YESTERDAY,
AND THERE IS JUST NO WAY
       THERE WILL BE PEACE
                                 IN MY SOUL,
TILL THEN WE MEET AGAIN,
                    ON MY DYING DAY.....

OH MY BABY, MY CHILD.....
SLEEP IN HEAVENLY PEACE
IN THE ARMS OF THE LORD
TONIGHT.....

SAY HELLO TO ALL OUR LOVED ONES
THAT WENT BEFORE.....
AND DONT YOU CAUSE JESUS
TOO MUCH TROUBLE,
FLYIN' AROUND
LIKE A SILLY-BEAUTIFUL-BUTTERFLY.

I LOVE YOU...
I LOVE YOU...
I LOVE YOU....
I LOVE YOU....
I LOVE YOU....
I LOVE YOU....

"THE SONG THAT SHOOK YOUR WORLD"

                                        It may not be the life
                                          you visualized,
                                           nor the day
                                         you wanted to live.....

                                             far be it
                                        for me to say,but.....
                                     your world might be colliding
                                         with the demons
                                                   of all your yesterdays....

                                           and you might
                                         be finding yourself,
                                       wanderin' to n' fro'......
                                          confused in your
                                       "focused state of mind"

                                              and
                                        in the end my friend...
                                          it took this song,
                                     to make you strong again.....

                                        and made your spirit
                                        re-build those wings
                                       you evantually flew....

                                          and carried you
                                        thru these thresholds
                                          of these darkened days
                                         and built this song,
                                       that evantually became,
                                        "the song that shook
                                           your world......."

"MORNING BREATH OF RELIEF"

The sky is crying
and im wandering in my
sleep.

There's a memory
that just wont leave me,no.

As i take my first
morning breath,
im left exhausted
as i struggle to weep.

Is there no god,
i ask myself sometimes.
But then i find,
the good lord on
my side...

And so i ask
for forgiveness
for my weakness
and ask to be made
stronger still,
stronger yet....

Morning breath of relief...

And i come alive,
I come alive.
my heart strikes
a beat.....

So glad that,
a night of heavy drinking
has not taken
my life and so....

Im here in my silence
and im gonna take pride
in all that i decide.

Be a strong deaf man
in a world full of
lies.

Be a strong deaf man,
in a world full
of people wanting
to crush my culture,
our pride.......

And im so glad,
that i got my morning breath.

I can see, i can feel, i can weep,
i can battle on,
for another day....

Morning breath of relief,oh....

How sweet could
the breath of life
touch my very
soul???

Breath in the life
of times.
Breath in the battle
of life.

Breath for the hero,
who lives out of
sight.......

Out of sight....

Morning breath of relief.

So glad im still here,
i am here, i am here,
i am here, and im still here!
But if i should go,
do know,
i loved you so....

Morning breath of relief
and the sun is
shinning.

So thankful for another
morning,
im flying on the waves
of wonder.

Riding amongst the thunder,
as lighting strikes my very
soul....

Till then theres
no more mornings
and i had to go...

And the only place
i can see you from,
is from the train
of clouds in mourning......

Just riding the lords
mourning train...

And im waving
from so far away,
that you can only feel me,
waving, waving, waving
from such a distant place.....

Oh,long may my memory never fade.......

"TRAGIC SON"

Took you by surprise,
you couldn't surmise why,
but there you were,
coming into the world
with eyes open wide.....

You could feel
the dreams coming on.
The father and son
ideals,
formin' a bond.....

And in the end,
my friend...

Thats why your heart,
could never mend
or be the same again,when.......

A son
moves away from
those he loves
and follows the path
of pain and destruction.

Theres no coming
back from that,
oh no....

And so....

Somewheres out there,
wanders
Such a tragic son.

Somewhere out there,
walks a tragic son.

And somewheres out there,
wanders a tragic son....

Head bowed and eyes
away from the sun....

Oh,Father....

If there were an answer
to your every question
why....

Then life wouldn't
have all its twists
and turns
and quirky rhymes.

It's just that.....

He's Like a season
that didn't quiet bloom.

Like a predicted storm
that never brewed.

He's Just another song
that never got sung.

And so....

By the grace of God,
goes such a tragic son.

Now you have
grown old
and its gettin'
cold.

The world
around you's
quieted down.......

Your now
only here to find,
if only a small piece,
of your son's
lost love.

And bring him
back home
to fire n' hearth.

"If only's"
float thru your heart,
as you dream of makin'
amends.

Oh its gotta be
a sin,
to see you suffer so......

Oh,he's such a tragic son,
wandering far n' wide...

Such a tragic son,
lord,he's got no place
to hide.

He's such a tragic son,
who's lost the ability
to even cry.....

And its just that.....

He's like a season
that didn't quiet bloom.

Like a predicted storm
that never brewed.

He's just another song
that never got sung.

And its just that....

He's like a season
that didn't quiet bloom.

Like a predicted storm
that never brewed.

He's just another song
that never got sung.

And so......

"WATER FOUNTAIN WINDOWS"

Its raining outside,
im here where i hide.

I got five dollars
to my name
and im here to live
and not play the game....

Thunder rumbles,
i feel confused.
Close down my heart
when it comes to you....

Water fountain windows
weep,
thier sad down pourin' songs
and im here,
beyond the scenes,
wondering what went wrong....

As water fountain windows
pour down thier woes,
so thick n' deep,
so thick n' deep.....

There upon the window pane,
lookin' out on the
souls of 'we",
walks the ghost of my
"mr.scared"......

Water fountain windows,
oh....

Water fountain windows,
oh.....

Ride the wind
and see where it
takes me,
is the name of the game....

When lighting strikes,
i pray for sanity,
before the rumbles
calm my name......

Oh,Water fountain windows,
oh.......

Water fountain windows,
whoa oh, ohhh.......

The weeping
never ends,
as the preacher blesses
my name...

Said preacher....

" He tried,
but sorrow
calmed his soul,
long before he died......"

Oh,Water fountain windows....

Water fountain windows,oh.....

Oh,Water fountain windows.....

Water fountain windows,oh......

Long may they weep.....

"GLORY MOON"(THE MAGIC HUE)

In the forrest,
restless and wandering...
i seek out the wind,
to catch the lunar moon.

Cold and fighting,
seeking warmth
in the memory of
the fire in her eyes.

I fall into a trance ,
as the ground
removes itself from
my feet
as i hover 'neath
the stars in the sky.

The bark upon
the trees,
begin to feed
upon the flames
of my mind,
as the branches
lend me a helpin' hand...

Till then i see,
lunar beams,
shinin' streaks
of winter seams.....

Points to a clearing,
as i bask in
its crystal breath,
my arms out stretched,
i speak in tongues
and beat the magic drum.

Oh,glory moon
(the magic hue)
Shine your light
upon me tonight.....

Glory moon
(the magic hue)
trip my light
fantastic
and send me
on a magic carpet ride..

Oh,glory moon,
(The magic hue)
How much more
can i say
and how much
more can my soul
abide by????

Lunar beams,
crystal seams,
My soul
drifts like
smoke,
from a lonely
campfire.....

Oh,glory moon
( the magic hue)
Shine your light
on me tonight....

Glory moon
(the magic hue)
Trip my light
fantastic
and take me on
a magic carpet
ride.......

I remember the days
so young,
and rivers that flowed
by the words we sung....

And trees we climbed
   by the missouri river,
which was discovered
   by young hearts
           such as mine.....

Park n' ride,
walk n' slide....

hello and goodbyes,
were exchanged for
memories thru
the tears in our eyes......

Its just our life of
times,
ending in great goodbyes....

One more sad note,
in the history of
our lifes.....

One more river
flowin',
passin' us by....

Just Before the lord
takes us home......

Just before
he takes us,
home.....

He says,
"Its all in the life's
great master plan,
one of lifes great
goodbyes......."

"One chance
in a heroes wake,
one memory made,
for heavens
sake........"

And again......

Its one of lifes great
goodbyes,
one of those teary
eyed flights
unto heaven...

Its lifes great
goodbyes...
One of lifes teary
eyed....

Teary eyed,
Goodbyes........

Ain't it strange?

Today.......

Something came over me and
i felt myself beginning
to relax.....

Lost in a daze,
i saw a holy man....

He said to me,
while signing in ASL......

Quote"There be you
and the woman i know you love"

"Go forth
and save her kisses for later..."

"Save them for when
you need her,
save them for when
your in dire straits......

And the vibrations
from the melody
of the rhythm of my
beating heart.....

Kept me awake,
longer than i wanted it to....

And every moment
i thought of you,
the sea raged
against the dying of
the setting sun of my
soul.......

And i made a promise
that i did save my
kiss for later,when......

I head for the lake
of my lady,
sweet lady of
the lake of kisses,when....

Its where i will only
release my soul
to the loving wind,oh.......

And im gonna save
my kiss's for later,
the kind of
kiss that my
love will savour.....

The one she will
surrender to
and never release,ever.....

Oh,Im Gonna save
( Gonna save )
Gonna save
(Gonna save)
Oh,Im Gonna save
(Gonna save )
Oh,Im Gonna save....

All-your-kisses-
for-later,oh yeah........

"MY SAD GOODBYE"

I loved you so
and i didn't want you to go.

My tears fall heavy,
on this broken heart
of mine.....

Oh,stay, don't leave me,
stay, don't go....

Wait, don't leave me,
i haven't said enough
"
I love yous"......

I haven't said enough "love yous"....

I never wanted to say
goodbye,no....

I guess i felt
if i denied you,
then all the pain did
all but disappear
and never again re-appear....

Oh,stay, don't leave me.
Stay, don't go....

Wait, don't leave me,
i haven't said enough
"
I love yous".....

I haven't said enough
" i love yous"......

And i loved you so
and i didn't want you to go......

My tears fall heavy,
on this broken heart,
of mine.....

Oh,stay,don't leave me,
stay, don't go....

Wait, don't leave me,
i haven't said enough
"
I love yous"......

I haven't said enough
"I love yous"....

and i love you,
i do.....

And i love you,
yes i do.....

I love you,
and its the truth....

I love you,
oh i do......

Now that i have told
you
where my heart stands....

Come what may,
i hope you feel
the same way....

After all,
the truth will set
you freeeeee.......

"DUST TO DUST"

These days on end,
all these changes on the wind,
is a world spinnin out of control....

From dawn to dusk,
and dusk to dawn,
soon to leave,one day we must...

So ashes to ashes, dust to dust,
return to earth,
one day we must.....

Blue skies above,
runnin down a rollin hill,
horizon sunsets,
and night time thrills...

Stars in the sky,
moon shining bright...

Wind in the trees,
whisperin "goodnight",
and "goodbye"........

And the world moves on...

And we are but a memory,
just spoken words on a
tombstone,
in some lonely cemerty........

Aw,but we must,
one day turn to dust,
return to where
we once arose.....

And the world continues
on......

So ashes to ashes,
dust to dust.....

Ashes to ashes,
dust to dust......

Ashes to ashes,
dust to dust.......

From whence we
arose,
return we must......

"""HERE"

Well its midnight
and the sun is shining
on the wrong side of the world
right now.....

Dark and im here,
asleep in my dreams....

Like smoke,
im rising,
kissing the sky...

Im here
and she's there,
going "Goodbye"....

Here......

South of many
lifetimes,
north of the moon
of tears....

I run hard
from my broken down
fears...

She was here
but left too soon......

Smoke rising
and i kiss the sky,
Love leaving
and i turn to cry.....

Im here tho',oh....

And still i fight
to breath this lonely
night.....

Here.....

Im here.....

And im smoke rising,
kissing the sky...

Im love leaving,
as i turn to cry.......

Here.....

Im here......

Oh,im here
as the sun shines
on the wrong side of the world....

Please turn around,
i need to fall down
now....

Please turn around,
i need to crawl away now...

Please turn around,
while im here......

I need to float
and kiss the sky "hello"
and inform them all
that i am"Here" now.....

"GALLAUDET"
(Let your love light,light your way)

Suddenly,your whole world's
changed,
innocence is lost,
in a twinkling of an eye......

Suddenly,one of your own
has left this life
without saying goodbye......

Shock has turned into dismay,
fear has settled in your
soul,
leaving you so afraid....

And the tears have fallen
                      like rain,
as you hold onto one another
       so afraid they too
                will slip away.......

Gallaudet.

Oh,Gallaudet.
(May your love light,light your way)

Oh,don't you know
          your tears could fill
                       an ocean,
that soon will turn
       into a million sparkling
                diamonds?

And in wake of all thats
     shook your world,
        may your love light,
             light your way......

For the whole world feels
your sorrow
and your pain......

Gallaudet

Oh,Gallaudet
(Let your love light,light your way)

Don't you know
that a million mothers hearts
cry for you?

A million fathers arms
yearn to encircle you,
to shield you from all
the pain......

Gallaudet

Oh,Gallaudet
(May your love light,light the way)

Don't you know
its all gonna be alright?
Don't you know
its all gonna be ok?

For love for you abounds,
across this great wide world.....

Soaring across
heavens great divide,
and touching the face of God.....

Gallaudet.

Oh,Gallaudet
(Let your love light,light your way)

Gallaudet.

Oh,Gallaudet
(May your love light,light your way)

Don't you know its
gonna be alright?
Don't you know its
gonna be ok?

Gallaudet,
Long may you keep
your love light lit.....

"YOU COULD OF COME TO ME"

First time i heard that you
had killed yourself with a
shotgun,
i was stunned....

You knew we used to hang out
everyday and shared
everything under gods sun.....

Years past and we drifted apart,
still in my heart,still my friend.....

Then just recently,i found out,
that you had past away
and i got to thinking.....

That you could of come to me
and i got to feeling guilty,
thinking that ya could of
come to me and
i could
of saved you.....

I could of saved you,
if only you had come to me......

"If only's".... is all thats left to
me.....

Goodbye to dreams,
goodbye to the tears we shared......

Know baby, i cared........

Goodbye to all we knew,
goodbye to you.......

Goodbye to your being
alive and vibrating......

Oh you could of come to me....

Oh you could of come to me........

You could of come to me,
and just maybe baby,
i could of set your broken
heart
free........

You could of come to me.......

And just maybe baby,
i could of........

And just maybe baby,
i could of.........

"ALL THE TEARS IN THE WORLD"

fallin' from a million eyes.....

A million night time sighs,
a thousand lies,
a hundred beating's
one too many,oh.........

Lonely is the heart
