Left Behind Child

To those who have been raised by others and to those who have been unable to provide for their own:

Left Behind Child

Left behind child I see you in the rear-view mirror

I feel your tears as they fall 

but I know you're better off where you are

and I pray

You can't tell my heart is breaking over you.

You don't see the tears that I cry too.

Take your Grandma's hand and close the door;

You can't need me anymore

Left behind child I see you in the rear-view mirror.

I feel your tears as they fall 

but I know you're better off where you are

and I pray

Someday soon, I'll come back and take you home.

Until then you must be Grandma's girl.

Don't forge those words of love I left.

As I kissed your finger tips.

Left behind child I see you in the rear-view mirror.

I feel your tears as they fall 

but I know you're better off where you are

I pray.

This Passage Of Time

God your loves warms me

like sunbeams each morning,

As I wake and open my eyes.

Then clouds surround me 

and shadow the window;

these troubles which plague my mind.

So take all the burdens I carry;

The worries which swallow up life.

Help me to live in the morning .

Refreshed by this passage of time.

*listen*

S2: I have...never loved

I have sailed on weary seas

up ocean crests in the breeze

I have thrown my anchor down

in the midst of fears and drowned

I have hiked up rocky peaks

over canyons I've flown free

I have done so many things

but never loved

Oh heart of mine afraid to feel

Oh life that longs not to be stilled

Oh soul who hides behind a wall

and ever builds.

Maybe one day you will rest

I long for this, I long for this.

But peace is far away right now.

Hands of mine have touched fine gold

My eyes have seen much, still untold

Life has brought me the world

but never love.

Growing up I used to wish

I'd dream about my love's first kiss

Life has been so good to me

but I've never loved.

Oh heart of mine afraid to feel

Oh life that longs not to be stilled

Oh soul who hides behind a wall

and ever builds.

Maybe one day you will rest

I long for this, I long for this.

But peace is far away right now.

S1: Pink Bellied Clouds

Pink bellied clouds

sing a duet to moonshine

as he pulls the sunbeams down.

oo-oo

Birds all fall silent

like mourners who find rest

and night begins to settle down.

Dearest day, you've left us cold

once warmed by you, now all alone.

In this night we shiver in the cold.

Twinkling like diamonds

the stars begin shining 

trading our sorrows for gold.

oo-oo

Satellites spinning 

makes arcs on the ceiling 

in patterns which tales have known.

Dearest day you've left us cold

our eyes went black as you grew old.

But your death gave the night chance to unfold.
