shadows

I've always believed
that you get what you're giving,
that karma repays and you reap what you sow.

But I don't remember
the debt I'm repaying, 

I'm sure I did nothing to help him to go.

No highway to hell
it's my road to salvation
 those 4 lanes of road lead me back to my home

Those  walls built with hope
now speak of isolation
the man that we dreamt with left us all alone.

I need to Breathe deep now,
need to lift my head,
need to cast off the shadows he left me with
and live.

I need to breathe deep now,
need to lift my head.
Need to cast off the shadows he left me with and live.

Some time ago now
My life threw me some lemons
Hit square in the face, scared the hell out of me
But everyone knows what they say about lemons
My lemonade sure is deliciously sweet


And I breathe deep now
And I lift my head
And I've cast off those shadows he left me with
And lived.

Little Hands

these little hands held my heart for so long now
These little hands gripped it tight as can be
And though I know he will grow and a man he'll be
These little hands are forever to me.

This little boy.....



I seem to be filling with words these days. Filling with music. I like it.
