The sun shined, the flowers grew
A revolution, the people moved
A lovely girl, some one I know
She stained my brain, don’t let her go
The rain fell, a rainbow shone
The clouds rolled back, just like the Stone
We clapped our hands, until they bled
Standing ovation, until the end
A forty-five, a seven-inch
For days and days, it spins and spins
Just like my brain, until it died
The friction made, it say good-bye
Just like our 7 and 10 inches
Were stuck here spinning around
With hardly anything to keep us bound

I love you in the morning
I love you in the night
And I’ll hate away the distance
That feeds on both our lives
I love you through the burning
And I love through the ice
If I have one mission
It’s to make you my wife
The sun is shining all around
The moon is fading away
My heart cries so far out too you
And fights all that stands in its way

When hope it too expensive
to the” business man” in your head
Don’t believe the liars who say,
“you’re better off dead”
When Love is inconvenient
and the effort’s never worth it,
Don’t forget that every man
was born to live
When you can’t afford faith
because it isn’t “cheap”,
remember every martyr,
who died on his knees.

The stars in the sky. They tell of Your light.
The beasts of the field. They cower at Your sight.
The stars in your eyes. They tell of your light
The birds in the sky. With them, you will fly.
The stars in my eyes. They tell of my life.
The humans in my life. I pray you see my light.

If every step I took
Was for the good of me
I’d fly so high I couldn’t know
The pride inside of me
If every word I spoke
Could swim across the sea
I’d sing hallelujah
Until the slaves are free

I’ve never had a dream
Where and angel came to me
And told what to do
Or told me who to be
I’ve never seen a vision
That’s told me where to go
Or gave me some direction
Am I ever going to know
I’ve never worn a shoe
That’s ever fit right
That’s all I never do
Try on something new
I’ve never seen a girl
Who said she’d never lied
And it’s too bad I can’t say
“neither have I”
And when my soul passes on
I’ll see the angel I never dreamt of.

Your face was like the sun
That drove away the rain
But then you pulled out your gun
And blasted me in the brain
Her sting was the poison
Flowing through my veins
That gave me what I wanted
Then took it all away
She took a gracious toll
Like a painful rock and roll
That danced away the night
But held a heavy price.
Now where was the sun
That drove away the rain
For your love was the gun
That blasted me in the brain
I lay there bleeding on my bed
It was the 2nd time I’d wished I was dead
I stared up at the clock on the shelf
Oh, how I couldn’t stand myself.
So strummed the strings and I banged the drums.
I pressed the keys and I sang the song
“Goodbye world I won’t see you no more
I’ll rest with my Father on eternity’s shore”
