Come on
Come on
Let’s rise above this hatred
Hell is open bordered
But Heaven is pearly gated
Come on
Come on
Come rise above the hatred
When a glance into a mirror
Reflects what you’ve been trained to fear
Rise up
Rise up
Then rise above the hatred
Viewing entries in
Lyrics
Oh love, laughter and lightning
May be our thing
But we’ll never clip the wings of angels
Never clip the angels’ wings
Such beautiful feathers
Such beautiful things
Worth so much more
On the backs of angels
Worth so much more
As angelic wings
Such beautiful things
Soaring high up above us
But we can still hear them sing
Over the sounds of our love
Our laughter and lightning
All the signs
They point the other way
The wind cries
“Save yourself!
Turn and run away!”
The sun hides
The moon rides
Its own tidal wave
Sees you’re frozen in your tracks
Knows you’re never coming back
Never saw it coming
Never make it through the night
Never see the light of another day
Should have taken off running
Should have run toward the light
Should have seen the danger coming your way
He thinks he’s the hunter
She knows he’s the prey
He thinks he’s the hunter
She knows he’s the prey
My lady’s coming back
Til then
This heartfelt promise
I pen Gwen
Oh, I pen Gwen
From incubate to crack
Til then
This heartfelt promise
I pen Gwen
Oh, I pen Gwen
I penguin and I pen Gwen
Too many people
Take an elephant to mouse
When it comes to providing
They want a big house
But to build a big home
Not that space that you need
But enough for the love
And the mouths that you feed
So to raise a good family
Make it rule one
Little house
Big home
Big house
Big home
In a world that’s unforgiving
It’s all taking and no giving
Save for me
I’ll do your bidding
Though they find our love forbidding
All I need is a message from you
Say it’s true
Say it’s true
Me and you
Say it’s true
And you do
As long as it’s not criminal
Stand out
Be an original
Don’t worry what the others do
Doesn’t matter
As long as you stay true
Doesn’t matter
As long as you stay you
You stay you
I spy
Across the room
A face I’ve known
For nearly forty Junes
A hand I’ve held
Through endless cycles of moons
Waning crescent
A cycle of phases
A wink
I don’t need a think tank
To think
She had me at the first
This sad joke will never end
Their fat lady
Doesn’t even know how to sing
Can’t hold a note
Or carry a tune
But a grand façade
Much more her thing
God help us
Need a miracle
Gotta teach that girl to sing
Take the beaten horse out back
And put an end to this whole thing
Because light and fear don’t mix
Days are the knights
The night’s light fix
And we all have our own ways
To turn the fear of nights
Into the comfort of days
Seven Wonders is the 400th poem in the In The Wind These Words collection.
I’ve left the door unlocked
I’ve left the lights on
I’ve left the ice cream out
Now, that wasn’t cool
But I’ve never left you
But you’ve left me
And you’re still gone
And it’s not right
No , left is not right
Left’s not right
You are not alone
Too many feel alone
You are not alone
Too many feel alone
Head down
Feelings, the same
Eyes closed
They all feel so alone
Get it right
Or you don’t get it
See the light
Or shade your eyes
Survive the night
Unless you let it
Unless you let it
Overtake you otherwise
So he saw the light
And he got it right
A fight they claim they’re winning
But if by stupid luck they win
It’s US who lose the fight they’re in
Please take the gavel away from them
Tighter gavel control I’m protestin’
Gavel down
Gavel down
Love’s got room
For all of us
It’s safe to assume
There’s plenty of space
Love’s got room
But call it destiny
Call it ironic fate
There’s room for all
Only none for hate
There’s no room in love
For hate
Ringtone’s the sounds of war
Don’t wanna hear it any more
The world is falling apart
Help pick the pieces off the floor
Won’t you please answer my call
Don’t even remember what all this fighting’s for
Won’t you please answer my call
I’m making a call for peace
Don’t want to fight anymore
A call for peace
Like seeing you now
It’s all too much to face
So while I build up the courage
I continue my race
To catch the sunrise in the east
To the west I must face
To catch a sunrise off the back of a truck
And in the evening
Driving east
And if I have any luck
I’ll catch the sunset in the west
Off the back of a truck
Bend your arm then
Bend your shadow now
Some choices are yours to make
The risk you take
Chalk the rest to fate
And move on
Like it is all there is left to do
And the choice that I make is you
The choice that I make is you
But the best laid flans
Of mice and men
Often go in a pie
And a doe may be a deer
A female deer
But then you gotta poke a needle
Poke a needle in the eye
If you’re gonna sew a shirt
Gotta make a grown needle cry
