Just As I Am
Take me just as I am
Take off whenever I can
Hold on I do understand
In the palm of your hand
Just as I am
Love me just as I am
Love you wherever I am
Want to just understand
In the palm of your hand
Just as I am
Change in my life is running away
Change blurs my mind forget what to say
Need you to understand me
Please just let me be
Look at my life I’m feeling good
See me as I think you should
Need you to understand me
Please just let me be
Take me just as I am
Take off whenever I can
Hold on I do understand
In the palm of your hand
Just as I am
Love me just as I am
Love you wherever I am
Want to just understand
In the palm of your hand
Just as I am
Together we could last forever in time
Together with your heart linked to mine
Need you to understand me
Please just let me be
Open your eyes to the real me
Open them and see what we could be
Need you to understand me
Please just let me be
I’m searching, answers elude me
I’m searching, keep searching - find me
Cobwebs are clearing as wind blows
Slowly my mind gets what she knows
She has a way which so moves me
Please take my hand, don’t lose me
Take me just as I am
Take off whenever I can
Hold on I do understand
In the palm of your hand
Just as I am
Just as I am

Words
Are there words to say I love you?
Are there words to say I care?
Are there words enough to love you?
Are there words to show I care?
Here I am.
There you are.
What is left to say?
Here I am.
There you are.
All we have is the day.
Everyday eyes are smiling.
Everyday’s a chance to grow.
Look around, hearts are shining.
Feel the warmth, feel the glow.
Leaves of green
Tinged with yellow,
Turning amber and red.
Here I am, then.
There you are, again.
Sunny days ahead.
These are words to say I love you.
These are words to show I care.
Sense the love that’s all around you.
Sense the love and know I’m there.
Are there words enough to love you?
Are there words to show I care?
These are things to say I love you.
Sense the love and know I’m there.

“Sometime the hating has to stop.”
At sometime, vengeance will not satisfy.
An eye for an eye - ancient and seemingly fair -
has always suffered for taking more than the hurt received.
At some time, the hating has to stop.
At sometime, the healing must begin.
The only way forward is through forgiveness,
a restoration for us all.
The hating has to stop.
The healing must begin.
The hating has to stop,
The healing must begin.

She’s So Careful
Such a pretty girl came into my world
I fell for all her charms and wished her in my arms
but she’s careful
A smile upon her face, nothing out of place
Wiggle in the hips but a prayer on the lips
she’s so careful
oh so careful
far too careful
What can be done? What to do?
Have to make her see I am true
True as anyone could ever be
Matched with her so perfectly
but nothing’s doing
she’s so careful
Asked her on a date, said I had to wait
Had to see that I was true as in her eye
she’s so careful
At last we took a walk and how that girl could talk
I never said a word and all that I heard
was she’s careful
oh so careful
far too careful
What can be done? What to do?
Have to make her see I am true
True as anyone could ever be
Matched with her so perfectly
Such a pretty girl came into my world
Such a pretty girl, my head is in a whirl
she’s so careful…

Fountain
There's a moment when anything’s possible,
when everything’s fine, everything’s fine.
Unexpected, it catches unawares.
It makes the eyes shine, makes your eyes shine
and you know that there is time.
Such a moment can last for ever,
can open up time, deathless time.
Can you feel it? The senses never stilled,
they soar and climb, they soar and climb
and your heart beats with mine,
and your heart beats with mine.
There’s a sadness within the blissful mist.
It seeps inside love, breaks into love.
And it sits there just waiting for the time
to separate love, to set aside love.
Will you fall or rise above?
Spare the hurt and stay in love?
I’m a fountain of unquenched memories.
I’m a mountain of photographs.
I’m a fountain of fluttering butterflies.
I am wanton with mixed up metaphors
and I know that there’s no time.
I’m a fountain of glistening droplets.
I am molten from hazy days.
I’m a lantern of smiling faces.
I am plankton and fuzzy rainbows.
Will I fall or rise above?
Will I fall or rise above?
I’m a fountain of unquenched memories…

Clutching At Shadows
Clutching at shadows
Clutching at shadows
Waiting for shadows
Darkened shadows
Take a step, left or right
Take a step or standing still
Listen…
Do shadows make a sound?
Looking for shadows
Listening shadows
Take a step, back or forth
Take a step, either side
and watch…
the shadows gather round.
Living in shadows
Swallowed in shadows
Hanging on shadows
Standing in shadows
Glaring at shadows
Making up shadows
Hopeless in shadows
Clutching at shadows

No Control
People doing what they want, all the time running round
spreading out like flooding rain, filling spaces, underground
in the cities, in the burbs and everywhere there’s always sound…
it seems there’s no escape.
And if you stop and take a breath, there’s always someone on your back
back in line, back to drudge, back to work or get the sack
you’re feeling sick, feeling blue, too much pressure, all goes black…
it seems there’s no escape.
It’s like there’s nothing else.
But you know
you have to take control.
You see it’s true
it’s only you can grow.
Grow apart, grow a heart, get a life and get ahead
find your voice, make a choice, find a way to make your bread
one for all, all for one, be a leader don’t be led…
this is the only way
and there is nothing else.
For you know
you have to take control.
You know it’s true
it’s only you can grow.
Yes, you know
it’s you who has control
your life is all you own
it’s only you can grow.
People thinking of themselves, grab it all ‘til nothing’s left
nothing doing, going nowhere, all that’s there is another’s debt
another’s life, another’s choice, pain is filled with etiquette…
it’s like there’s nothing else.
And if you stop and take a breath, suck it in and go again
be defiant, be reliant on the sword as to the pen
stick it in, write it down, it’s up to you in the end…
this is the only way
for there is nothing else.
For you know
you have to take control.
You know it’s true
it’s only you can grow.
Yes, you know
it’s you who has control
your life is all you own
it’s only you can grow.
People thinking, (wish they would), then just maybe we’d be right
right to live, right to die, grey it is not black and white
this or that, choice is mad, seeking dark in every light…
life is all you own
nothing else you need.
For you know
you have to take control.
You know it’s true
it’s only you can grow.
Yes, you know
it’s you who has control
your life is all you own
it’s only you can grow.
