Looking for Some Gold
I’m a walking down this road
Looking for some gold
I want to strike it rich
I’m a walking down this road
Looking for some gold
I want to be known
I’m a walking down this road
Anger, the Drug
So quickly anger arises
Calm one moment
In rage the next
A problem the size of a toothpick
Breaks the back
And turns to the size of a mountain
All sense is lost
Satan grabs hold and runs
Three Simple Words
Three simple words
Three syllables
Easy to spell
Easy to write
The phrase is repeated everywhere
False meaning it often has
But mean it I do
Just as God meant it
But try as I might

To my Sister
To my sister
Who I love dearly
Who I find much joy in
Who has made me realize much
To my sister
Who had to endure my anger
Who put up with my ways
Who never turned her back on me
The Quest
Call it a passion
Call it an obsession
Heck, call it love
When I sit at night
The urge is there
When I fight drowsiness in class
The urge is there
The empty paper
The lonely pen
Baffled am I
Listened to your voice
Followed my heart
Feel it is right to do
Expectations are positive
But baffled when all seems to fail
My idea of the outcome
Could not be further from the truth
Oh Brother of Mine
Longing for you to find
To search within
To reach for
To step out
Oh how I wait so impatiently
Pray so frequently
Beg like a child
Plead with the father
Light to the World
Light to the world
We are called to be
A city on a hill
Let us not be hidden
Wont you light my lamp
And set me on stand
Shine before all men
Let the light of truth glow so bright
Let These Words Free
Let these words free
Free from the prison that holds them
The prison inside my head
Attempting to contain these words
These words that free me from captivity
Let these words flow
Old Has Gone
Old has gone,
New has come,
Yet clinging to the old,
Hiding from the new,
Old is familiar and safe,
New is frightening and dangerous,
Some old was indeed good,
But the new will be better,
Heart Aching
Heart aching
Pain oh so real
Just want to sleep
Sleep away the hurt
But must keep pushing
Must keep searching
For his hand
He will not let go
Heart is aching
Pain oh so real
Vanish Like a Vapor
Vanish like a vapor
Indeed it will happen
One second here
The next not
Vanish like a vapor
We all will
But live with no fear
Life on earth is ending
Life with God is approaching
Walk Out My Front Door
Walk out my front door
Into the battle zone
Not knowing if I will come home
Preparing for the fight that is upon me
My body trembling with fear
But my heart with the help of one stays clear
Searching for Love
Searching for love
Do it on our own
Try we do
Fail we will
Alone we feel
No place to turn
We search for love
It is there all along
Sticking its hand out
Calling our names
But deaf we are
