I want to believe in something more
Something that knocks me to the floor
More than hope
More than faith
More than a fleeting embrace
For Passion to be inside
For certainty to never hide
Why must the leaves fall
Why must the fire die
Why can't i live
Without looking to the end in the sky
The walk on the road
Led to the lost man in me
The walk down the road
The light darkens and I can’t see
Every direction looks the same
Every choice i made,
was in vain
I would almost welcome.the pain
If it could just ignite the flame
I always run
Just don't know what from
I always run
Running from someone
Grab ahold of me when i go by
Help me surrender
Keep my heart beating long enough to try
The walk on the road
Led to the lost man in me
The walk on the road
Is all there will ever be
Will the next step be the same things
I guess all i can do is wait and see
Embrace the uncertainty
That this life always brings
It must be the journey
Think i forgot to look around and see
How I could bring more to them than what i can believe
The walk on the road
Led to the lost man in me
The walk on the road
is all there will ever be
I will try and leave my love
For those
Those that follow me
For those that follow me
Lately it seems we've been in a hurricane
Tossed in the sea of everything
The bad news seems to come in waves of three
The tide of inevitability
But I just want you to know
I couldn't get through this without your touch and affection
Your love and attention
I shelter you, and you shelter me
This is what love is supposed to be
I protect you, and you protect me,
This is what our love means to me
Baby, I can't wait to hold you again
Hold me all the way to the end
Laying here, surrounded, yet alone
Weeping the unknown
Missing my family
I won't feel healed until I can see you
My love and well being, has a fragility
Do you remember when the skies turned grey
The clouds wept and
The thunder passed away
The remnant dust of the devil
Blown away on the wind
It was because you asked
That we Danced in the rain
Amidst the storm
We Said goodbye to the pain
I shelter you, and you shelter me
This is what love is supposed to be
I protect you, and you protect me,
This is what our love means to me
Baby, I can't wait to hold you again
Hold me forever
All the way
to the end
I was too scared and shy to kiss you
Your warm eyes looked within
My heart pounding as you moved in
I haven't felt alone with you by my side
They say set it aside, but I can't handle the divide.
Let's find a place, I can hold you and touch your face, a kiss forever ,a sweet embrace
I don't know what the future holds
What life has foretold
Just know my love
You'll always have someone to hold
I shelter you, and you shelter me
This is what love is supposed to be
I protect you, and you protect me,
This is what our love means to me
Our life, our love, my best friend
I'll say it again
I'll love you always
All the way to the end
Horses running past the fence,
to the green grass beyond.
The wild calling.
The breeze that touches, both cold and strong,
The mountains beyond.
Dig down into the earth
Where the past is strong,
Where history belongs.
The arrow doesn’t know,
When the bow string is drawn.
Making a home,
In the wild dawn.
The steady breath as the beast roams,
Run free into the wild wind
The swaying of the fields has a rhythm,
Flow through the field,
The pounding of the drum.
The avalanche of air crashes from the peak,
Cresting from the dreams we seek
Go. flow. the whispers are told.
The rugged trails of the wounded soul.
Go, flow, the whispers are sold.
Go, flow the futures untold.
Go, flow, the countryside of Gold.
The field of your wild dreams,
Brittle from the history.
The tempest consumes the Prairie,
The river blue and green,
The muted colors of the earth.
Dead dry leaves, give birth to the seeds beneath.
The suns shadows darken the valley of the peaks.
Another day ends,
where I cried myself to sleep.
Vibrant rays consumed by my eyes,
The fading light colors the sky.
Go, flow, the whispers are told,
The rugged trails of the wounded soul.
Go, flow, the whispers are sold.
Go, flow the futures untold.
Go, flow, the countryside of Gold.
The running herd tires, the breath is all gone.
Dusk to Dawn.
The wild wind never sleeps,
My memories never at peace.
The spirits of those before us,
The relics we keep.
In the clay of days gone by,
The broken arrows lie.
Go, flow, the whispers are told,
The rugged trails of the wounded soul.
Go, flow, the wild wind blows,
Rushes past,
past the history of old.
Run Free of the shadow,
Run free of all that you know.
I want to believe in something more
Something that knocks me to the floor
More than hope
More than faith
More than a fleeting embrace
For Passion to be inside
For certainty to never hide
Why must the leaves fall
Why must the fire die
Why can't i live
Without looking to the end in the sky
The walk on the road

Run Free of the shadow,
Run free of all that you know.
Will you listen to me as I expose the vulnerability of what it is to be me
I used to feel powerful, almighty
But now I feel weak
I carried the weight of the world, but today I collapsed to the floor
In life you hurt me, can't you see
Why won't your ghost let me be free
I'm looking at you and you're looking at me
The pain is easy to see
Tell me friend, will you cry with me
The wound still bleeds freely, and I know it may never leave me
But my hope, my need
Is the sealing of my injury
The love that bleeds torments me
Life hurt me, can't you see
Why won't the memory let me be free
I'm looking at you and you're looking at me
The pain is easy to see
Tell me friend, will you cry with me
The sweet embrace, the tears on my face
Thank you for loving me
Hug me again and let me weep,
Tonight I hope to sleep
I may see you again when I'm free
But I know it won't be easy
My gratitude is for all, for loving me
Life hurt me, can't you see
Why won't the memory let me be free
I'm looking at you and you're looking at me
The pain is easy to see
Tell me friend, will you cry with me
Someday, I hope to look into the stars and you'll see
You'll see a new me
I'm looking at you and you're looking at me
The triumph and joy you'll see
And the tears will let be happy
Tell me friend, will you cry with me
My thoughts wander on the sea of the stars.
Some people live, and some people dream
Blessed are those with unburdened vitality
Maybe you don't know what it's like
To be abandoned by your family
To scrape on the rough edge of society
We can see the condemnation
It hurts,
to not meet your expectation
Maybe you haven't seen what I've seen
Experienced the aggression of vengeful insecurity
All I ask of you
Is To leave me be, a little mercy
All I ask of you
Is to not condone
And to believe
All people need to be known
You don't have to understand my sorrow
I may run away today
But need you tomorrow
Sometimes I feel like I'm waiting
Waiting for an answer I’ll never know
Lost in thought, I may disappear
Sitting next to you
But nowhere near
I could take the chains
And drag the burden away
Maybe you haven't seen what I've seen
Maybe you haven't been through the lessons I've learned
Maybe you haven't been burned
Maybe you haven't seen what I've seen
Experienced the aggression of vengeful insecurity
All I ask of you
Is To leave me be, a little mercy
All I ask of you
Is to not condone
And to believe
All people need to be known
You don't have to understand my sorrow
I may run away today
But need you tomorrow
Sometimes I feel like I'm waiting
The silence is engaging
The hands on the clock are wearisome
My Life is measured in the moments
The Seconds pass
We are not confined
Remembrances of the sentiment on my mind
Sometimes I struggle to connect with anyone
To let you get close
And to overcome my pretense
The casualty of my innocence
All I need from you
Is a little grace
The judgement on your face
To be erased
All I need
Is to let me be
Live my life a little differently
All I ask of you
Is to believe
A little love and empathy
To bring with me on the journey
To the end of the stars
And the dust that remains
Waking up in the morning to face another day
Never know what my mind is going to say
Most days it seems the glass is half empty
Wish the people of this place
Were full of empathy
I want the world to make sense
I wish we could go back
Every passing day
It feels like freedom is under attack
Generations move away
Like the sins of our past
Don't turn on the TV
Until you've had your coffee
Can't hear about the death and bombs
Without some energy
The stories make me fight the draining mentality
The leaders don't care about you and me
Just the power and greed
I want the world to make sense
I wish we could go back
Every passing day
It feels like freedom is under attack
Our neighbors stay away
Feels like we are off track
Longing for community
To embrace the civility
Come together or struggle alone
Like the sins of my life
We must atone
Like the sins of my life
Who wants to die alone
Most people can't handle to see
The degradation on their screens
Looking
Makes it hard to breathe
Somedays
Only ignorance of those who bleed
Will set us free
We want the world to make sense
wish we could go back
Every passing day
It feels like freedom is under attack
Come together or struggle alone
Like the sins of our life
We must atone
Like the sins of our life
We can't be alone
I worry about my family
All that my children will see
Some people may say that they're soft
They have it easy
But I don't think that they know
The struggles they see
They may not know the physicality.
The mindset of push through the pain
But maybe you don't know
The future that is shown
Parents that are always working
The fight to be seen
The suspense
Of another school shooting
The disquiet and uncertainty as they watch the greed
Hoarding the wealth of society
They want the world to make sense
There's no going back
Every passing day
It feels like freedom is under attack
Come together or die alone
Like the sins of our lives
We must redeem
Like the sins of our past
We just want to be free
It doesn’t matter what I feel now
Doesn’t matter what it was
I might break down
And throw my face to the ground
These reminders of you
Haunt me all day long
I don’t know if you mean to
But don’t string me along
I know it in my soul
You’re already gone
I turn the radio on
Maybe my thoughts will be on the song
I don’t know why you shook the ground
But girl
I knew what you meant all along
Look at me and see what i see
Don't tell me you love me
I can't handle the inevitability
I brace myself for the sound
What you’ll tell me
When it’s all done
The foundation is thin
I could look for stable ground
But I might stay here
And wait to fall down
I don’t know why
It doesn’t matter
I’m gonna break down
I don’t know why you shook the ground
But my love
I knew you all along
These reminders of you
Haunt me all day long
I don’t know if you mean to
But don’t string me along
I know it in my soul
You’re already gone
I’ll sit here and wait
Fearing the call
Hoping against hope
It won’t hurt when I fall
Staring straight ahead
I won’t look around
These reminders of you
Are all I’ve found
I don’t know why you shook the ground
But girl
I knew you all along
Maybe all that’s left of us
Are tears and a song
These reminders of you
Haunt me all day long
I don’t know if you mean to
But don’t string me along
I know it in my soul
You’re already gone
Feeling all alone in the sea of humanity
Surrounded and surrendered
The body whispers to me
The heart hears, and the eyes see
I am with everyone
I am with me
I can feel the heat of the masses as I withdraw into me
I look at you and Listen to what you say
I watch you
And Listen to what you don’t
The body whispers to me
The heart hears and the eyes see
I am with everyone
I am with me
The more I know about me
The more humanity flees
If i stop to look
It freezes me
I know what it is to be alone
I know what it is to hide
A blessing and a curse
Somehow I always feel worse
I could accept most things
But not the dishonesty
I could accept what you bring
Not the false civility
The more I know about me
The more humanity flees
I don’t know what it means
Individuality
I want to belong
Fatally
Passing through the crowd of all these things
The departure of dreams
The loneliness is pressing me
One foot in front of the other
The direction demeans
I will claw to the end
Hide the silent screams
Dispose of the serenity
Release me
I don’t belong
Free me
This life is so long
I want to believe in something more
Something that knocks me to the floor
More than hope
More than faith
More than a fleeting embrace
For Passion to be inside
For certainty to never hide
Why must the leaves fall
Why must the fire die
Why can't i live
Without looking to the end in the sky
The walk on the road
Led to the lost man in me
The walk down the road
The light darkens and I can’t see
Every direction looks the same
Every choice i made,
was in vain
I would almost welcome.the pain
If it could just ignite the flame
I always run
Just don't know what from
I always run
Running from someone
Grab ahold of me when i go by
Help me surrender
Keep my heart beating long enough to try
The walk on the road
Led to the lost man in me
The walk on the road
Is all there will ever be
Will the next step be the same things
I guess all i can do is wait and see
Embrace the uncertainty
That this life always brings
It must be the journey
Think i forgot to look around and see
How I could bring more to them than what i can believe
The walk on the road
Led to the lost man in me
The walk on the road
is all there will ever be
I will try and leave my love
For those
Those that follow me
For those that follow me
Lately it seems we've been in a hurricane
Tossed in the sea of everything
The bad news seems to come in waves of three
The tide of inevitability
But I just want you to know
I couldn't get through this without your touch and affection
Your love and attention
I shelter you, and you shelter me
This is what love is supposed to be
I protect you, and you protect me,
This is what our love means to me
Baby, I can't wait to hold you again
Hold me all the way to the end
Laying here, surrounded, yet alone
Weeping the unknown
Missing my family
I won't feel healed until I can see you
My love and well being, has a fragility
Do you remember when the skies turned grey
The clouds wept and
The thunder passed away
The remnant dust of the devil
Blown away on the wind
It was because you asked
That we Danced in the rain
Amidst the storm
We Said goodbye to the pain
I shelter you, and you shelter me
This is what love is supposed to be
I protect you, and you protect me,
This is what our love means to me
Baby, I can't wait to hold you again
Hold me forever
All the way
to the end
I was too scared and shy to kiss you
Your warm eyes looked within
My heart pounding as you moved in
I haven't felt alone with you by my side
They say set it aside, but I can't handle the divide.
Let's find a place, I can hold you and touch your face, a kiss forever ,a sweet embrace
I don't know what the future holds
What life has foretold
Just know my love
You'll always have someone to hold
I shelter you, and you shelter me
This is what love is supposed to be
I protect you, and you protect me,
This is what our love means to me
Our life, our love, my best friend
I'll say it again
I'll love you always
All the way to the end
Horses running past the fence,
to the green grass beyond.
The wild calling.
The breeze that touches, both cold and strong,
The mountains beyond.
Dig down into the earth
Where the past is strong,
Where history belongs.
The arrow doesn’t know,
When the bow string is drawn.
Making a home,
In the wild dawn.
The steady breath as the beast roams,
Run free into the wild wind
The swaying of the fields has a rhythm,
Flow through the field,
The pounding of the drum.
The avalanche of air crashes from the peak,
Cresting from the dreams we seek
Go. flow. the whispers are told.
The rugged trails of the wounded soul.
Go, flow, the whispers are sold.
Go, flow the futures untold.
Go, flow, the countryside of Gold.
The field of your wild dreams,
Brittle from the history.
The tempest consumes the Prairie,
The river blue and green,
The muted colors of the earth.
Dead dry leaves, give birth to the seeds beneath.
The suns shadows darken the valley of the peaks.
Another day ends,
where I cried myself to sleep.
Vibrant rays consumed by my eyes,
The fading light colors the sky.
Go, flow, the whispers are told,
The rugged trails of the wounded soul.
Go, flow, the whispers are sold.
Go, flow the futures untold.
Go, flow, the countryside of Gold.
The running herd tires, the breath is all gone.
Dusk to Dawn.
The wild wind never sleeps,
My memories never at peace.
The spirits of those before us,
The relics we keep.
In the clay of days gone by,
The broken arrows lie.
Go, flow, the whispers are told,
The rugged trails of the wounded soul.
Go, flow, the wild wind blows,
Rushes past,
past the history of old.
Run Free of the shadow,
Run free of all that you know.
Will you listen to me as I expose the vulnerability of what it is to be me
I used to feel powerful, almighty
But now I feel weak
I carried the weight of the world, but today I collapsed to the floor

Hug me again and let me weep,
Tonight I hope to sleep
I may see you again when I'm free
But I know it won't be easy
My gratitude is for all, for loving me
Life hurt me, can't you see
Why won't the memory let me be free
I'm looking at you and you're looking at me

Have been writing for a long time but only recently am I sharing any of it. I am a father of 3 wonderful kids and enjoy spending time with them. I also love snowboarding, golf, bowling and movies. I've recently starting working on discovering what else I like in this world.
I worked for a long time with at-risk youth and people with developmental disabilities. Currently working in IT. I have no Lyrical or music experience.
