Anger frustration
Darkness and fear.
They dwell here.
A moment ago
I drove them out
Back they came
Right back here.
Freedom to lose them
Freedom to be happy
Without anger, frustration
Darkness and fear.
No one to blame
No one to fear.
Muster the courage
Step out of the darkness
Step there to the place
We hold dear.
No anger, frustration
Darkness or fear.

Seeing thru our life
Seeing all the strife
Seeing beauty
And climbing high above
As the world hands us
All we need to be loved
Seeing this will set us free
Seeing life as it should be.

Let me be strong
Let me be me
Let me be the person
I should be.
Thankful and presence
In this my whole life
Carry on in spite
Of all strife.
I am grateful, honoured
And must try to be
The most best person
I ever could be.

The focus is on today
Not tomorrow
Or yesterday
But this very day.
No sway
Or deviating
To another day
No, just this day.
See it as the best this day
Remember
Focus on this day
Okay?

More comes to life
Seen with eyes
Not filled with misery.
Joy and happiness prevail
We know we cannot fail
Searching for a life indeed
A life I need
Travelling with a presence
That has utter bliss.
Searching we will find
Our destiny here on earth
And it will be
Yours and mine.

Dreams are forgotten
Never to be told
Dreams
Never to unfold.
Dreams of splendour
Happiness and fame
All to be seen
Going down the drain.
Sadness, despair
Anguish and heartache
Tear at the soul
Shattered
Fall to the floor
Never, no more.
Up from the tatters
Mended but bruised
Focused on laughter
Making that dream
Come true.
Watch as dreams
Of splendour and happiness
Unfold to be true
This too can be you.

Let us be
The people and friends
We should be.
Forget the theatrics
forget the greed
Just be
And I’ll be me.

Once
Once upon a time
I dreamed
Dreamed you were mine.
This was a time
When all was perfect
And sublime.
Yes, you were mine
When I dreamed of a
Oh so perfect time.
No bittersweet goodbyes
Only loving, happy times
When you were mine
In a perfect time.
It was a time
The sun shone down on us
Filling all with a radiant glow
Of tender love
Sweet tender love.
I dreamed a dream
Once upon a time
When you
You were mine.

Rules are broken
Maybe they are meant to be
Don’t hold tight
Release to let them free.
Then we’ll see
What will come about
For you and for me.

The world is round
And goodness does abound
Stop and listen
Listen to the sound
Of heaven and earth
Here near the depths of existence
I have found.
Don’t be deterred
Be stirred to live
A life of goodness
Here on earth
Where we all find joy
And happiness surrounds us
In a way that is profound.
Listen, listen to the sound
Of happiness as it
clamours to be found.
