Seize the Dream
If just given a chance
I know I could be great
No matter the hand
I’ve been dealt by fate
Today is a new day and now it’s my turn
To show the world all that I have learned
I’ve learned that in life
It’s not about me
I’ve learned that in life
It’s all about we
When we seize the dream
Together we can seize the dream
Hope is the message
And now I can see
That I have the chance
To set my dreams free
If we hit rock bottom
We can’t give up
We’ve got to pick ourselves
Right back up.
So we can seize the dream..
Clear Sign
So many reasons in life to carry on
When times get tough
They make us strong
We couldn’t get the rewards
That we’ve got coming
Without a little struggle
Without a lot of loving
A real clear sign has come to me
More than once or twice for me to see
You have always been right by my side
In these ties that bind…I finally have a real clear sign
I don’t want to change the world
I only want to set me free
Want to travel to places I’ve never seen
Sometimes my finite mind can’t understand
The greater purpose, the master plan but ..
You are there I must confide
Dancing, laughing drinking wine
While it washes over me in my vivid fantasy
I thank you for the gift you’ve given me
The light to be all I can be
What’s on Your Mind
Always on the run
No time there’s work to be done
Come to have some fun
At dusk you appear then rise like the sun
Why can’t we stop and show each other
All the things that will help us to discover
What’s on Your Mind
Why can’t I read the signs
What’s on Your Mind?
Just the other day
You came to me and asked me to play
I said I want you to stay
And now sometimes I don’t feel the same way
But I can’t let you go
There’s room enough here for us to grow
I said I want you to know
My feelings run deep and they’ve got to be known
Now I ask myself are you the right one for me
There’s got to be a way
To foresee our destiny
But someone’s in the way I can hear you call her name
Feels so Fine
This friendship that we’ve come to find
Feels so vital and alive because
We see, eye to eye, together,
We help polish our inner divine
My comrade and counterpart
I have never even met
You’re a jewel that sparkles like sunshine
Please always be a friend of mine cuz
It feels so fine that you’re a friend mine
It feels so fine
Time and distance can’t get in the way
Of a friendship that’s here to stay
You’re a jewel that sparkles like sunshine
Together we polish our inner divine
You don’t have to bend to someone’s wind of fury
And mindless behavior
When your intentions are so pure
And you’re laying it all out on the table
You can stay composed and keep shinning bright
Because you know deep down that you are right
Oh it feels so fine that you’re a friend of mine
It feels so fine.. So divine…

The One I Love
Kindred soul
How you heal my heart
It’s synchronicity that we’ve come together
Your love has set me free
You’re the one I love
I just wanted you to know
You’ve opened up your heart
And now my spirit soars
I had a dream
You were making love to me
I was afraid to say
Because I didn’t want to scare you away but
You’re the on I love
I just wanted you to know
You’ve opened up my heart
It feels like coming home
One of these days
I will hold you close to me
You will always be a part of me
You’re the one I love…
Eight Winds
You come to me
Emit the sounds from the visions in your mind
But for yourself you can have so little time
You with your revelations
they bring forth determinations
It’s hard to tell where your feelings are inside
You try to run but there’s no place to hide
Don’t fall prey to the eight winds that sway you
We can be protected from all those things that seem infected
We see our life flashing right before our eyes
try to cherish every moment that goes by
We are the waves that bring forth the tide
sit on the current as it takes us for a ride
Don’t fall prey to the eight winds that sway you
Haunted hearts from the dark
Imprint a message in my heart … they say
Don’t fall prey to the eight winds that sway you
Obstacles
Obstacles, here they go again
They come when you least expect them
They can make you want to complain
Make you feel rejected
Make you want to run from the pain of
Obstacles, here they go again
We can try to avoid them
But they’ll come back just the same
If we try to work through them
We’ll be masters of the game of
Obstacles , here they go again
They give us the opportunity
to be stronger than before
When we accept responsibility
We open up new doors
If it weren’t for obstacles
We would never survive
We’d drown in our complacency
Never challenging our lives… with Obstacles
I saw a woman give thanks for the food on her plate
It reminded me to appreciate
Creating value each and every day
No matter what comes my way
Fantasy
Now that I know you don’t feel the same
I can move on down the road
because I know our love is not in vain
that’s everything we need to know
When you came into my life
You helped me grow
Move me through the pain and the strife
helped me find my way back home
But for now…
It’s just a fantasy
living in a world of make believe
thinking you would ever be with me
It’s just a fantasy….
You can’t blame me you’re far to kind
to be there to ease my mind
I always seem to want more
sometimes I’m color blind
You’re not the first one I’ve fallen for
but no one yet has come close to you
I’m sure the right one will be real
I’m glad I’ve had these lessons worked through
But for now…
It’s just a fantasy
living in a world of make believe
thinking you would ever be with me
It’s just a fantasy… and that’s all right with me… fantasy
Fine Line
She changes her mind all of the time
She doesn’t know what she’s feeling inside
She cannot escape the world that she’s in
She tries to reach out but she’ll never give in
There’s a fine line
Between what we show and how we feel
There’s a fine line
Between the superficial and the real
There’s a fine line
She’s trying so hard to figure it out
Within her confusion she’ll start to doubt
in the things that she wants
And the way that she sees
All of the people that she’s trying to please
There’s a fine line…
Work Day
This is a story of a woman who knows just what she wants
a real go getter a real debutante
She likes to enjoy every moment that she lives
saying goodbye to the past willing to forgive
She’s got her dreams she’s got her goals
every day she works hard never letting them go
Every morning the alarm rings at 6:45
she drags herself out of bed barely alive
But soon she’s wide-awake with a big smile on her face
warmly embracing the day that awaits her
It’s another workday making our way
to the front of the line yeah yeah
It’s another workday working all the time
She’s got a handle on which path to take
she’s working real hard making some mistakes
But she’s got no regrets she’s got no shame
She’s got a real knack on how to play the game
She’s got irons in the fire in control of her desires
She knows just what it takes to make her dreams come true
It takes patience it takes time she’s committed to the task
She’s feeling mighty fine every moment that awaits her
It’s another workday making our way
to the front of the line yeah yeah
It’s another workday working over time
Whatever you want to do just take your place in line
just be patient and be ready you’ll get there in time
And when we try to move ahead why does it feel so slow
Because when you travel at warp speed it’s hard to really know
Everybody’s got their own work to do
some people just avoid it other’s see it through
So if you try to do someone else’s work
you’re not really doing your own
You’ll just pay a higher interest on your loan
It’s another workday making our way
to the front of the line yeah yeah
it’s another workday working over time
Future with You
I can’t believe the mess I’m in
I’m split in two seems like a sin
To want you both and I don’t know what to do
I ask myself who should I choose
Either way I got nothing to lose
I can’t explain what brought me here
But I have to be honest and face my fears
Oh why did you wait till now to say that you want to work it out
And let me fall for somebody else
I need you to understand
I need time to plan for my future with you
Now I can’t help but compare I know it don’t seem fair
But I can’t see any other way
he looks into my eyes and says
everything I want him to say
Well I know you’re the one for me
despite this circumstance
Because we could do so much together
I want to take another chance
No more nasty weather
Mother be Free
Way down on the water front
I see an up turned whale afloat
And it’s moving so fast now its going under
there’s nothing right about it
I’ve never seen a whale before
and it’s so much bigger than the eye
I’ve never seen all of God’s people
and I don’t have to ask why
I’ve never seen so much blood before
and its filling up the sea
My whale is making a tidal wave
and he wants his mother to be free
Then I look I see a big boat
it carries oil and wine
They’re headed on course and now
they’re headed for the little whale’s mother
Can’t they see what they’re headed for
they’re much too busy with their maps
Can’t they see what they’re headed for
they look so relaxed
Eight Winds (Spanish Version)
Vienes a mí…
Das los sonidos de visiones de tu mente
mas para ti apenas tienes tiempo
Tú y tus revelaciones
que traen determinaciones.
No se sabe dónde están tus sentimientos
tratas de huir pero no hay dónde esconderse
No te rindas
a los ocho vientos que te agitan.
Podemos protegernos
de lo que parece infecto.
Vemos la vida brillar ante nosotros
atesora cada instante fugaz.
Somos las olas que trae la marea
deja la corriente llevarte a pasear.
Corazones en pena de lo oscuro
graban un mensaje en mi corazón.
Nos dicen:
No te rindas
a los ocho vientos que te agitan.
