The seed of love is planted
And the heavens chorus sings
He'll watch and guard above you
The angel earned his wings

My friend
I wipe my own tears
Only through you did I know the man

The church bells sing their songs
And I listen from my room
Oh the sweet sound of nastalgia
As the day begins to bloom

Here I am, once again
Waking from my sleep

California dreaming
How lonely my hearts feeling

I remember her scent,
as the wind blew by
The thought of her love,
turned to a sigh
The west coast breeze ,
blew back my hair

Dreamers,
Riding rainbows up above.
Telling stories to the ones they love
But, unhappy with life the nightmare rapes
Tell me God!
Do dreams come true?
or are dreams just dreams,

Grey skies and leafless trees
The woods are dead in the winter breeze
The air is cold and thin to breathe
Th eground is hard and tough to seed

I plant a leafless tree in the hardened ground

I cherish the things that I have in this life
I cherish my son, I cherish my wife
I cherish the love they have for me
Like the sailor for his ship, and the lure of the sea

Here I am
A man alone
With just my flesh and just my bones
Lost like dust in the wind of time
My identity trapped within my mind
Here I am
A man with no soul
Invisible to definition

She's a garden lined with roses
She's the landscape by the sea
She's the sunset on the horizon
She's the wind blowing over me
She's a comet passing over
She's the total eclipse of the sun

Love exists inside a memory
It's strongest grip clings to the past
Like an old bicycle or shirt
It's grip is tightest to things that never last

I fight with this realization

Bring me an angel
To take me to my knees
Show me a halo
So where I am blind I may see
Give me a prayer
That I may take home every night
Show me the lord
To take whats wrong and make it right

I met you twice before an hour died
My soul awakened deep inside
I inhaled a breath
And yes, still breathing
I knew I could not contest
Our souls had fettered
Forever shackled to fate

I found myself behind the wall of consciouness
I found myself behind the wall of sight
Inside the darkness, a sort of evil hovers over
And like a shade, it blocks the sun that reflects the light

Looking at old photographs and the yearbook on the shelf
I wonder what became of me and how I lost myself
I feel a piece of me has stepped aside and laid down fast asleep

I found true love inside my child
In a way I can't explain
Only my wife can share this wonder
That warms us from his flame
His innocence overpowers me
With the strength only a God could know
