Nevada
Nevada,
 
though you had a life
 of purity

Nevada,

with your endless sands
and barren desert seas.
Nevada,
from Reno through the mountains
south to Boulder Dam
They raped you
with their indiscretion--
the ends approves its means.
They polluted your eyes
they polluted your spacious skies.
Nevada,
the white men
couldn't make their wage
with you my friend.
However,
now they set the stage
for shady gambling dens.
They polluted your eyes.
They polluted your spacious skies.

How Many Ways?
Late at night
see infinity
expanding into our space.
In each star
a mystery--
maybe even a face.
An effortless flight
your mind can travel--
where can the dimensions be? 
Search into dark—
imagination unwinds
as far as the mind can see.
How many ways can you stare into space?
How many stars can there be ?
How many ways can you see yourself?
Where is reality?

Puppetmen
She's got a lot of wooden puppetmen--
she pulls their strings
and then you see them dancing away—
she'd dance with them.
She's got a lot of iron robot boys—
she puts them in the closet with her toys
she’s done with them.
She's playing until break of day—
she's rotting their lives away.
Her Howdy Doodies really love her face—
they like to see her dressed in frilly lace—
she lies to them.
Her Roman soldiers meet her every goal--
she manipulates remote control.
She steps on them.
They’re dying from day to day.
They splinter and rust away.
Their dying from day to day.
They splinter and rust away.

The Blowing Wind
You can't cope with today?
Cast your troubles away.
Put yourself in the flow
of the blowing wind.
Do away with your fear,
your deliverence is near.
Let yourself see the mind
in the blowing wind.
Yes, it's blowing,
so just let it carry away.
It's denoting a change
in the system that way.
There's no need to beware,
invitations are there.
Place you name in the book
of the blowing wind.
And fill your eyes with it,
make no disquise in it,
flee from the stillness of day.
Can't you feel what is here,
after this many years?
Let your conscience take you
to the blowing wind.
Yes it's blowing
it's course is just
showing the way.
Better catch it
before it starts
drifting away.
So be glad that your here,
the solution is clear.
Set your sights on the change
in the Blowing Wind.


The Meaning of Love
I am trying
to push you to the edge
of my consiousness.
And then I see
a perfect scene (a perfect scene)
or hear a funny line.
Why did we learn
the meaning of love?
Why did we learn
the meaning of love ?
I want to believe
feelings I share
with you.
And than I am (and then I am) 
reminded of a look
that is your's alone.
Why did we learn
the meaning of a-afraid?
Why did we learn
the meaning of a-afraid?
Life is
no doubt,
meant to be shared.
But I have found,
happiness
equals hurt.
Why did we learn
the meaning of love?
Why did we learn
the meaning of love?


She Was All
She was my universe
holding the galaxies wonders for me.
She treated me gently
with kindness the likes which I never had seen. 
She was all I had.
Life without her would be sad.
The years they passed
but the magic that held us always was there.
The fact that I had her
made brightness of every lifelong affair.

Planets and Stars
I never realized
the planets and stars
in our skies--
light years away from our eyes.
Universe so vast
we can't pretend.
Distant stars
With lights they send.
Life won’t stop
Before time ends.

Wintertime
Wintertime and everything’s frozen
the trees, the sea
and me. 
Wintertime in the Midwest
I hear the wind
call my name.
And every winters' the same
you feel and know the pain.
And every year comes again.
Let's go spend a warmer day
and let the time relax our eyes
while letting God relax our lives.
So let's go through a warmer night
and keep ourselves well out of sight
while waiting till the sun's out bright.

Floating Away
Floating away—
just floating away.
I knew my life would be blue
without you.
Floating away,
night into day.
Listening to people,
but not hearing what they say.
Oh, I knew
my life would be through
without you.
Floating away,
nothing more to say.
My song is now through
but I'm still without you. 
Oh, I knew my life was through
without you.
Floating away , floating away--
Just float, float, floating away….

Hope is what Love Finds
You are my love
you are my whole life.
You give me hope
hope is what love finds
and I'm in love with you.
You are the wings
from which I live through my day.
Without your touch
I may not feel.
And I'm in love with you.
And when I'm wrong
you make me right.
And when I'm blind
you are my sight.
You give me winds
that take my breath away.
I only see
where you have seen.
And I'm in love with you.
And when it's dark
you make it light.
When things turn black
you make them white.

You Came Away
You came away from my liturgy
feeling so bad that you hated me.
Knowing that I was your only one
I couldn't leave.

Morning Light
All through the growing years
I played with thoughts
but fell to fears.
I didn't know that my own tears would pass.
Then one day
I found the Word
and all my former life
was blurred
I counted on the one to see me through.
I was blind 'cause the world can keep you that way.
You gave us light to see all of your morning light.
All through my former days
I couldn't see
His own great ways
and tried to struggle through without His help.
But today
I got the word
my early life seems quite absurd
the former things I knew have passed away.
Oh I was blind
‘cause the world can keep you that way.
You gave us sight to see
all of your morning light.


You Without Me
Got to get away
nothing more to say
without you by my side.
Somehow it's not the same
but no, you're not to blame
it's all in the game.
Never asked you to stay for a while
but you did.
Never wanted it to end this way
yet I did.
So get away from here
miles away, my dear
now I can see.
We'll start all over now
it will be sunny now.
You without me.
