ONE
One is a lonely number
You ever met him before?
The man in the black hood
Sneaking all round your nights
Sucking out your breath
Shrinking your soul from within
A shadow you will become
The thrill of life will halt
Bringing you to a new level
Through time you will recognize
That you don’t want to be here
You’ll turn and make a change
You’ll run with all your power
Leaving him to fight
Like there is no tomorrow.

CAN’T GO BACK
Long a time ago
When I was young
Didn’t know that much
Just out having fun
Trying out new stuff
Meeting new peeps
Touching on feelings
I ain’t never felt before
Then time moved on
And I grew up a little
Days of flying
Were put to sleep
Now time catches
Up with me
And I look straight ahead
Don’t like the future
Too short ahead
I grab my guitar
And I sit down for a spell
Gonna go back
To once upon a time
When time was free
And life was long
I sit here strumming
And I smile
Remembering all I did
And places I had gone
Can’t go back
Won’t go forward
Guess I’ll sit here
Only til tomorrow.

SO MAMA I’M COMING HOME
Been away, way too long
Keep singing that same old song
Walking cross the sandy beach
Meeting new friends I plan to keep
Quiet nights gazing at the stars
Wondering how the years gone far
Hard to believe I missed the spot
Realizing this is all I got
Better get myself on track
Hitching a train and running back
Don’t wanna ever be alone
So mama I’m coming home.

DREAM OF TOMORROW
I HAVE A DREAM
A DREAM OF TOMORROW
WHERE SMILES REPLACE SORROW
WHERE FEELINGS OF PEACE FROM WITHIN
TAKE OVER THIS FEELING I’VE BEEN IN
I HAVE A SONG
A SONG FILLED WITH HOPE
WHERE I CAN ONCE AGAIN COPE
WHEN MY SHOULDERS FEEL LIGHT
AND THE SUN SEEMS SO BRIGHT
I HAVE A DREAM
A DREAM OF TOMORROW
