Spinning carousel returns the same old horse again
Ramble on and on, the thoughts that fill my head
Sometimes I wake up, there’s nothing there but emptiness
so I search myself for what there was to do
Flashing backward still, I think about my youthful dreams
Honest childhood, running dry of years
Sometimes I look back, it doesn’t seem that it was me
So who was I then, who am I today?
Can you hear me now?
My thoughts are moving fast, can’t seem to catch them in the draft
Floating upward like a kite that’s left my grip
Flying higher toward the sky, so blue, I crank my neck
and try to follow as it drifts off into space
Can you hear me now?
Today’s a new day
where do I start from here
It’s like the old me
just went and disappeared
And now I have this
life to live all of my own
Painting pictures on the walls
Coloring in my home
And I can hardly see the path before me
like a storm on the horizon
It’s moving slow, but oh so swiftly
And I can see the lights burning bright before me
I won’t take cover
How fast the darkness will fade to let in light
How quick the shadows move to colors bright
I’m in the foreground selecting stages for my life
Setting tables, painting colors
setting the stage for my life
And I can hardly see the path before me
like a storm on the horizon
It’s moving slow, but oh so swiftly
And I can see the lights burning bright before me
I won’t take cover
The future is taking over
leading me toward my fate
the fate that I created
sinking into me, sinking into me
And I can hardly see the path before me
like a storm on the horizon
It’s moving slow, but oh so swiftly
And I can see the lights burning bright before me
I won’t take cover
I am circled by a presence overwhelming
I can’t get enough
All these people that surround me
they lift me up
And I wish them their dreams
I wish them their dreams
Take what you’ve given to me
and rise above me
There is beauty all around me
waiting for it’s time to show
Every person has their dream
they wish to be
And I wish them their dreams
I wish them their dreams
Take what you’ve given to me
and rise above me
And I know there’s a passion
you gave up many years ago
Always aging
Getting further away
And I wish them their dreams
I wish them their dreams
Take what you’ve given to me
and rise above me
I must love you as a way to survive
I must love you as a way to get by
Sometimes I’m lost within myself
I can’t see outside
But there’s a window there between you and I
So hey won’t you talk to me now
There is love deeper than the ocean
It travels onward constantly in motion
and in these waters is where I wanna be
traveling onward toward the sun in ecstasy
So hey won’t you talk to me now
Keep lovin’, keep livin’, keep movin’
Keep lovin’, keep livin’, keep movin’
We must lift each other up toward the sky
We can’t leave anyone behind
So hey won’t you talk to me now
There’s a lady who contemplates the meaning of her words
She speaks her mind but only after she is heard
But there’s a lady who sings like she’s the only one on earth
and listens only to the sounds inside her heart.
She’s the Lady of Tomorrow
Feather boas and silk are things that feel good on the skin
but she’s the kind that makes you feel good from within
Like a rainbow or a star touching you inside from afar
not caring who, when, or how, or where you are
She’s the Lady of Tomorrow
There’s a bird outside my window singing softly to the wind
and on the breeze I hear her singing back to him
A quiet ocean there of sound, just like the swaying of my heart
or how the waves, they keep on rolling in the dark
She’s the Lady of Tomorrow
In a dark room, advice she lights the candles, there she opens up the moon to shine
Later on we’ll break the waters, part the seas, leave the world behind
I remember her gentle laughter, she’d let it fly just like a child before the night
And she’s an angel when life’s around me, but ain’t it good sometimes to say good-bye
I want to hold onto something I know is true
But got to clear the space for something alive and new
Good-Bye
A saint to all who knew you true, or did we come from heaven to be with you
So perfect, a special time, and so strange you left it all behind
Just before the dawn, cheap hanging in suspense
With the golden hew hanging on the fence
Tired of making habits
Want to throw them all away but don’t know what I’ll have to say.
I just wanna play
And I just wanna live
Recreate our own existence
And be the birth to what we give
There’s no point to telling fairy tales
Gotta let go of my plans to ruin my own life
Just before the night, fading to the dark
With the stars crowding in and the fog about to start
Resignation in contemplation
Need to jump right in and drown or swim
