Broken Chains
there's a broken doll
in the corner over there
toss'd with disdain
forgotten in a year or two
~
There's a broken plate
on the counter
by the sink
along with a familiar link
~
There's a broken chain
round my healing heart
I had to forget the future
return to the start
~
There's a broken soul
bleeding out and alone
like an abandon'd dog
with nowhere to call home
there's a broken doll
in the corner over there
toss'd with disdain
forgotten in a year or two
~
There's a broken plate

I had to forget the future

bleeding out and alone
like an abandon'd dog
with nowhere to call home

"Broken Chains"
His pain stricken face still haunts me
Bound to the ships wall by these chains
Poor old man sold into his slavery
Knowing that he would never be free
His eyes spoke stories, his voice couldn't utter
Of the whips he'd felt and lashes taken
Sold by his family, alone and forsaken
Scars where the lash tore his skin like butter
Somehow in his pain, he still smiled at me
Sharing his wisdom, he poured out his soul
He told me he knew he was not in control
The his father in heaven, would soon hear his plea
I had no understanding, as if his prayer were in vain
He spoke of a time, when he would walk by the sea
These chains have been broken, they'll never hold me
One day he'll wake up in paradise, forever free

"Waterfalls in the sky"
Another sleepless night, I can't seem to rest
Faced with the choice of this impossible test
Nothing seems to add up, at times I feel lost
Knowing the price I've paid, immeasurable cost
Dreams come too few, I have no answer why
Washed by the waterfalls in my night sky
Memories erased, replaced by another
How people can turn their backs on their brother
Lucid dreams come and I feel so alive
Nightmares compete that force me to cry
No solace, no peace, I retreat to that place
Remembering that last time that I saw your face
With one simple kiss, you unlocked this man
Tormented and twisted, I don't understand
I peered that night inside of your tears
I saw you boundup and wounded, shrouded by fear
Awake the next morning, you weren't by my side
Like a piece of my dream had withered and died
If this dream comes full circle with you by my side
It will be worth all the anguish and tears that I've cried
If everyou're lonely and you just don't know why
Let's lay down next to waterfalls in the sky

Waterfalls in the Sky
Waterfalls in the sky
Cliffs of vapor
Rise up above
the raging storm river
~
thunderous
white water
racing to earthly destination
~
Raining
down through
Waterfalls in the sky
~
Driving flood waters
before its inundating
power
Waterfalls in the sky

Rise up above
the raging storm river

thunderous
white water
racing to earthly destination

Waterfalls in the sky
