Tis the season, I see the lights but I feel broken
The world Is hurting, hate is tearing us apart
This maze of walls between us, has left us frozen
Afraid to take a step together in the dark

Perhaps…

I go out walking late at night
You hide behind addicting screens
The spirits tell me I'm alright
You medicate your silent screams
Ooooh
I look for ghosts
I talk to ghosts

The worldly noise confuses us
Our souls controlled…

Every little once-in-a-while, I catch a glimpse of your face

Smiling, breathing, looking so real

I know that you're gone; you see, I'm starting to heal

But can I help it if I sometimes

Fly, fly away to you

Now…

Memory pieces like a fallen puzzle

Scattered deep and scattered far

People who have formed me living in my in my head

Instead of gathered on my shore

Life might grow a little sweeter as I ripen on the vine…

What if it's warm in my room but I suddenly go outside

What if it's dark and it's cold and I realize I don't even mind

What if I climb up the hill to the place where the coyotes sing…

Manhattan rushed against me, and the crowds just made me lonely 

As I made my way through Times Square heading north

I saw a tourist hand her baby to a grimy costumed Elmo 

In the street, all for a tacky…

I ran, secure from your warm arms 

When the tree line hopped to meet the sky

When the sidewalk laughed beneath the puddle

When I jumped in my boots and tried to fly

And I ran straight home to you…

Don’t listen to my words, listen to my heart, listen to my heart

Don’t listen to my words, listen to my heart, listen to my heart

Round and round and round and round we go

Trying to express the love…

Way past the waterfall

Beyond the bullfrog's call

There is a place so wonderful

Our problems are not problems anymore

Where people don't need wasted words

To catch a heart when it falls

Where true intentions

Are seen and you…

We can't control the weather, can't turn the sky from grey to blue

We can't make the world behave, can't even watch the evening news

We can't see the future, can't know our loving will survive 

But I can take…
