A tragedy seems hardly real until it happens to you
so its difficult for us to feel the pain that others go through
where peoples lives have been shattered
their cities have crumbled, their bodies are scattered
In a broken wasteland of blood, stone, and steel
Its another tragedy that's oh so real

Well the people are dying
And the children are crying
How they need the touch of a giving hand
Well you know we got to feed them
And you know we got to heal them
they're our brothers and sisters caught in a wasteland

Through history the hand of fate has taken hold of their lives
All the helplessness, the broken dream, you can see it in their eyes
Disaster, wars, and tears for tomorrow
the innocent deaths just add to their sorrow
But they won't give up, they still have their pride

Time is Right

Its the time of year, when hearts will glow,
kids are happy
and drinks will flow
But its you I miss on this special day
So with this song these words I say

Time has come, and truth be known
let this season melt your heart of stone
words 've been spoken, and tears 've been shed
its lonely without you, and I regret what I said

Its xmas now and the time is right
try forgive the past and we shouldn't fight

I see children play out in the snow
So I light a candle and let it glow
and with its light I want everyone to see
what I meant and what you mean to me

Its that time of year, when hearts will glow
kids are happy
and drinks will flow
But its you I need on this special day
So turn around
and never go away

Visions of the Past

Visions of the Past keep haunting me
darkness and pain hand in hand
the truth that never seemed so real

I walk alone with burdened shoulders
a load that slows me down
me eyes are filled with sorrow
at what I left behind

What warmth am I looking for
what destiny lies ahead
where's that guide that was guiding me
have they been hurt as well?

The dreamcatcher lies on the floor
no longer has its use
the crystal has faded
no longer able to heal
the visions of the past will haunt me
'till the crystal will heal again

The roads are long and winding
with obstacles in my way
the dust won't settle and the sky grey

A pendant that swings in mid-life
the mystical frame from the past
your eyes that will follow me everywhere
the sound of children echo in my mind
I look for you in everyone
but somehow you are just a dream

I try to retrace my footsteps and go
back to where life first began

But the visions of the past are stopping me
and will haunt me 'till the end

I'll be your imaginary angel
in a robe that's paper thin
I'll be everything you want
and everything you need

I'll roll down your face
in a parody of tears
and I know that if I hurt you
I'll be the fool of a thousand years

I'd mortgage up my heart
if you'd sign your name in pencil
I'll try to be your rock
it's just I can't stand still

I'll roll down your face
in a parody of tears
but if I tasted your sadness
I'd be a drunk for a thousand years

My soul screams I love you
to the part of me that hears
And I knew that if I threw you
I'd be lost for a thousand years

Portrait of a Lady

A portrait of a lady I see in my mind
She dances and smiles in my head
She's strong and she's subtle, she's lovely and wild
It's for her that these tears have been shed
And Jenny's her name and she painted my world
In colours so vivid and true
How artfully drawn in her face and her form
And, Jenny, this song is for you

I see a reflection, a picture of you
It captures the fire inside
Your glistening curls, that sparkling smile
And I can't help thinking all of the while
That I must be the biggest fool in the world
To ever have treated you so
I've spoiled the portait, your smile has gone
And now in my sorrow I've nowhere to go

For your're my portrait of a lady, I see in my mind
You dance and you smile in my head
You're strong and you're subtle, you're lovely and wild
It's for you that these tears have been shed
And Jenny's your name and you've painted my world
In colours so vivid and true
How artfully drawn is your face and your form
And, Jenny, this song is for you

So you see, my world's just a blackening grey
The colours have all stayed with you
I hope that errors and lies are forgiven,
That your life has regained its bright hue
Please tell me your smile has returned to its picture
And I will do all that I can
To put back the pieces, to right all the wrongs
So that one day I can see you again

A portrait of a lady I see in my mind
She dances and smiles in my head
She's strong and she's subtle, she's lovely and wild
It's for her that these tears have been shed
And Jenny's her name and she painted my world
In colours so vivid and true
How artfully drawn is her face and her form
And, Jenny, this song is for you

Untitled

Silent night, holy night
no guns ablaze
no enemy to fight
my friend, my neighbour
come feast with me
let bygones be bygones
let tomorrow be bright
let our children play together
and create a new light
lets spell a new world
where love can be found
where music will be played
and crying is not the sound

you are my brother, you'll always be
your children are my children
so why did you hate me

And you, you are my sister
we grew in the same street
we all played together, and the world was at our feet

So now we are older, but not wiser
what an example to a child
who'll grow up, bitter and angry
like an animal, frightened and wild

So eat with me and share my wine
and lets sing a song or two
then lets plan tomorrow for our child
and peace between me and you
