Just Being Me

For forty years it seems
That a lack of broken dreams
Won’t be enough to break them down
And see who I grew to be
I’m standing strong and I’m not wrong
I’ve worked at life and love
They see the boy and not the man
Or the anointment from above
Round and round and round and round
Don’t fall…don’t fall down
I’ll stay the course and set my sail
Catch the wind and I won’t fail
I won’t need who they see
I’m content just being me
You’ll stay the course and set your sail
Catch the wind and you won’t fail
You won’t need who they see
Your content just being free
I left dark years behind
Mature and well refined
Out performed and out lived others
Who were chosen to succeed
I’m standing strong and I’m not wrong
I’ve come a long, long way
Now I’m the man and not the boy
Who cares what they have to say
For forty years and change
Looking Back it’s very strange
That who we are and not who we were
Is all that matters in the end
I’m standing strong and I’m not wrong
I’m soaking it all in
I’m the man and not the boy
Going back to where he’s been

Im gonna smoke a cigarette about mile long
I’m gonna drink until I fall asleep in bed
I’m gonna do everything that you hate that I do
And I’m gonna do it all until im dead
And if the Lord comes down for me; says it’s my time
I’m gonna raise my arms and sing halailou
Cause if I can’t have you in my arms at night,
I guess heaven is the best that I can do
I’m gonna leave my dirty clothes on the floor each night
I’m gonna leave my dirty dishes in the sink
I’m not even gonna cut my hair
Not take a bath until I stink
And if the Lord comes down for me; says it’s my time
I’m gonna raise my arms and sing halailou
Cause if I can’t have you in my arms at night,
I guess heaven is the best that I can do
So now I’m going up to heaven gonna try my new wings
Im gonna fly with all the angles on high
I’m gonna drink the drink of a million years
And reel in the years that all went by
And then the Lord and I will take a walk
And I’ll raise my arms and sing halailu
Cause if I can’t have you in my arms at night,
I guess heaven is the best that I can do
Heaven is the best that I can do
I said heaven is the best that I can do

I Can't Tell You

We dance around words that we won’t say
There is no point, there is no time, there is no way
Sometimes it’s warm, sometimes it’s cold
There is no life, there is no peace, there is no soul
I can’t tell you how I feel, cause you won’t believe it’s real
My days are filled with a billion ups and downs
But when you smile at me you can almost make me see
There might be hope for a tired man like me
We walk around words chosen carefully
We might offend, we might ignore, we might not see
If I should go, or should I stay – are you a friend, am I a man who’s lost his way?
I can’t tell you how I feel, cause you won’t believe it’s real
My days are filled with a billion ups and downs
But when you smile at me you can almost make me see
There might be hope for a tired man like me
I’ve been thinking, I’ve been sinking – swimming in your eyes I see despair
Will you see me in this situation comedy – through other men that have much more than me?
I search your eyes, you look away – you’re in my head, it’s in my hands, I cannot play
Tonight when we go home we’ll probably be alone – will you sleep well?
I know I probably won’t.

Straight Back To Hell

Hatred seems to thrive online
Cyber racism is doing fine
Darkness all around their hearts
Blocking out light tearing our world apart
The rhetoric from those who lead
Helps to serve their sin, lust, and greed
Catching children in their spell
Send them all straight back to hell
Straight back to hell
Straight back to hell
Demonize the persecuted few
Women, Black, Hispanic, Jew
Catch a cult of personality
We must decide who we are to be
Deceit and lies come from the top
Put on the brakes and make it stop
Catching children in their spell
Send them all straight back to hell
Straight back to hell
Straight back to hell
Hatred makes the devil smile
Words to hurt those you revile
Fanning flames to burn their souls
When we should give them harps of gold
Deceit and lies come from the top
Put on the brakes and make them stop
Catching children in their spell
Send then all straight back to hell
Straight back to hell
Straight back to hell
