Little children in lands forgotten
Hungry and alone are they
Little children of lands forgotten
Envy to survive for one more night and one more day

Little eyes see the heartache
Little hands that have no toys with which to play
Little hope that is like a whisper
For little children of lands forgotten far away

What is the prayer that need be heard
Where is the help that is more than word
Why is there doubt more than there is way
To save little children in lands forgotten far away

Woke up this morning to a strange day
The year was 2013
Now life is lived in the strange way
A way I had never seen

Once I rode with the lone ranger
And a close friend to superman
But now I feel like such a stranger
Living in a strange land

Even the weather seems out of place
The world is out of rhythm and time
Death is staring everyone in the face
People are losing heart with so much on their mind

What lies beyond the bend
Do we look for the sun to shine
Do we fear to stumble again
Or a rock and a hard place be the bind

It's as though a map has been drawn
With a water color blend
Which way is right or wrong
Just change the channel and still see the view of a strange land

Words that are spoken
Are those words to understand
Words that are read
Are those more fitting as part of a plan

A plan to read
Or a plan to write
A plan to surrender
Or a plan to fight

The sound of the voice
Or the silence of the pen
The plan of words
To lose or win

On my orders they await command
But I forget them all
When I get lost in her eyes
Or at the touch of her hand

As a light glides over the mountain
And the sun rises to say hello
So visits the grace of the morning
And begins to over flow

My heart is filled with bliss
As I'm sitting so relaxed in my chair
A moment when nothin matches this
And over the balcony I peer

Hope the neighbor doesn't start his noisy car
Or cause his noisy dog to bark
I just want this to linger
Till evening brings the dark

I will know and feel this for a time
As my heart and spirit dance of ryhme

As a light glides over the mountain
And the sun rises to say hello
So visits the grace of the morning
And begins to overflow

From a distance I saw her
As she came closer I only said hello
We had met by chance once before
Long long ago

This time is no different
Is it a trance or a spell
And tomorrow what I remember
Of a story I try to tell


Our eyes meet the same
As they had way back then
And now my thoughts sadly linger
For the conversation that never began

No one to be a friend
No one would look his way
As the old man walked along

His eyes growing dim
His hair turning so grey
And only a few tomorrows
To come and go and gone

Familar cane in his hand
As he walked near the busy street
The voices of children at play
Suddenly he stopped,as something rolled to his feet

One was the color of green,one was the color of red
Trembling he picked them up
And barely he could see,then his heart became so gay
So thought the old man
Must be Easter today

What put forth this day in motion
Now the lady walks beside him
As the golden sunset
Is resting
Upon the shoulders of the ocean

Distant stars begin to glimmer from above
He and the lady kiss and slowly dance
To their lullaby of love

The swaying tide rushes in like a melody
And foot prints that once were so clear
Now a new image begins to appear

As if they have taken on the shape of a dove
The lady and he smile and kiss and slowly dance
To their lullaby of love

A cloud ran over to a mountain
And whispered to the trees,
Rain is on the way
Set your mind at ease

The trees whispered through the valley
Down to the stream
Rain is on the way
Don't be feeling low

Got it straight from a cloud
Just telling you what we know

The stream got so happy
That the fish started talkin"

This guy is some kind of poet
Just as sure as your born
Then they laughed and splahed
Some water, over to a field of corn

Gentle touches of the wind
Gentle rain like a friend
Keep telling me I shall return home again

Come a summers day

The valley is winding low
As I walk along I know
Many places have I been
And I need the path that returns home again

Walking by a stream
reflections of the sky
Clouds move slowly by and then
The promise of my heart to mend

Come a summers day

If there's anything else you think of
Let me know
Do you want me to write you another check
Since you changed your name to cash flow

The times we live in
All about money and sin
And do it all over again

And where ever yo go
You gotta have cash flow

Selling real estate
Day and night
And the car salesman
Has gotta a deal just right

And now a new exercise trend
And do it all over again
Where ever you go
You gotta have cash flow

Oh,darlin what the heck
Come on and let me know
Do you want another check
Since you changed your name to cash flow

5 stones he carried
5 stones on that day
1 slew a gaint
And his enemies ran away

And the story is told forever more
How victory came
By a small shepherd boy

5 smooth stones he chose
As he passed by a brook
The gaint stood and laughed
Stood and laughed as he looked

1 stone slew a gaint
And the story is told forever more
How victory came
By a small shepherd boy

All I have are words
All I know is thought

And the movement of time
Cannot set me free
I've been left behind

A prisoner to be
Unheard and denied
Searching for a key

The chains of day and tomorrow
Are but a spell in my mind
Freedom I ask to borrow
But my life has surely stopped on a dime

If a conversation to be
A date far away and unknow
The prisoner knows his tradegy

And if no one comes to talk
All I have are words
All I know is thought
