Holding on
Holding safe
Letting go
Not to replace love
With hate.
It may be
Tomorrow
It may be
Later today
I will see the world
In a wondrous
New way.

Sun goes down
Into the evening sky
Leaving the moon to reflect it’s light
Into the water deep and blue
Turning it golden
Blood red too.
All is quiet in the evening sky
Birds ponder the reason why
As the sun now sinks
Beneath the ocean blue
Refreshing itself in waters deep, dark
Purely quiet too

Wouldn’t it be nice
If the world laughed
No one cried and in the sea
No fish, no lives
No one
No one died.
Wouldn’t it be nice
If the world turned
Looking at itself
Making no excuses, no lies
Just told the truth
With open-hearted sighs.
Wouldn’t it be nice
If the world alone
Gave all the happiness
Needed to survive
Holding everyone in a grasp
So tender, so alive.
Wouldn’t it be nice, Wouldn’t it be nice

Hear the song sing the world round
Feel the words bring together
Children of the fall
No more to see anger, strife
Only beauty
Happiness for all.

My heart does pump and thump
the core of me
my beating heart.
Onward she goes with no breath taken
alive making no mistakes
my beating heart.
Commanding all with every beat
giving living life while being discreet
my beating heart.
She works in sync without a stop
oh how I need you
my dear beating heart.

I know
I haven’t been
the best mother
daughter, lover
you’ve ever seen.
I tried my best
I did
I did
even thou
it doesn’t seem.
Please forgive
move beyond
to
the best place
we’ve ever been.
