Dreamer
I am a restless soul, the wandering kind
the grass is greener on the other side
a roaming soldier with a sense of pride
burning desire to make things right
I’m on the run always looking ahead
dreaming of a brighter sun
I’m in mid-flight dancing into the night
clutching at stars left and right
I’m born of blood and earth, water too
we’re all the same I look a lot like you
I feel a fire burn, do you feel it too
a call deep inside it echoes through and through
I’m a dreamer, always a dreamer
won’t give up on this heart of mine
a believer, steadfast believer
standing strong in this faith of mine

Wide Open Spaces
Wide open spaces are calling me home
where my feet have the freedom to roam.
Wide open spaces are where I belong
and my heart tunes to a new song.
Love is calling, love is calling, love is calling
Blue skies above me I lift up my eyes
to the heavens an ocean wide.
Blue skies above me I say my goodbyes
to what ifs and regrets I let go all this.
As gentle as the breeze as warm as the sun
though vast as thee ocean love calls us into one.
It blazes into fire with just a flicker of a flame
and it calls us all by name.

I Am
Hear my voice in the rush of wind
circling around you.
See my power in the sky above
vastness endless glory.
The stars in the heavens have no speech
no sound is heard from them.
Yet their voice goes out to all the earth saying I am
I am, I am, I am, I am
Taste the sweetness of the earth
the bounty it brings forth to you.
Walk through forest, wood and glen
ascend the highest mountain.
The stony shore, the birds soft call
each one tells a story.
Their voice rings out in all the world saying I am
If you rise on the wings of dawn
traverse the farthest seas
lay down your head in the depths of earth
even there you’ll hear me sing

Sophia
She walks a lonely road only few follow along
her lips are laced with gold, laden with dew.
Come along with me she says to those lost on the way
her voice pleading with me, pleading with you.
She’ll adorn you with her grace, place a crown upon your head
write on the tablet of your heart.
She’s a tree of life to all who embrace her silent call
lay hold of her and you will be blessed.
Sophia always moving, shrouded in mystery
If only men would heed her word
the world would be sacred again
Sophia a voice, crying in the streets
singing out to all who hear unite with me
My children gather near, turn your ear to hear
a story of old from long ago.
In the ancient halls of time, the creator He and I
we crafted a circle on the deep.
Daily I’d rejoice as creation found her voice
the mountains rose and from them streams did weep
Yes before the earth was formed, I was a tool in Gods hand
I know all there is to know.

Come Away
Come away my love, beautiful one
arise turn your gaze to me
the winter is past the rains have ceased
see the flowers appear upon the earth
the season of singing has come I’ll be waiting, come away
Come away, come away, come away, my love
And until the day breaks and the shadows flee
I will go to the one whose heart is wild as the sea
I’ll go to that secret place the one reserved for me
and there I’ll hear you say

I Knew
We were young when we fell in love
that first look and I was undone
your smile so tender, sweet
stole my heart and every beat.
When I walked down the aisle
waves of love tears in my eyes
I squeezed my Daddy’s hand
and told him this is the man.
I knew, I knew it was love
I knew, I knew it was forever
I knew, I knew it was love
you and I together
nothing could get better
my love
We talk of the days to come
soon little ones will run into our arms
we’ll laugh and throw them high
Mummy, Daddy watch me fly
In our house with its picket fence
you have a way of always making me laugh
till I’m breathless feeling high
dancing to this love divine
When our kids are grown and all we’ve ever known
seems to come to an end
When our hair turns grey and our wrinkles stay
we will know

Beyond The Borders
If my life were a painting
I’d be constantly changing
painters they come and they go
and paint in every crevice
and corner of this canvas
wide brush strokes to and fro
black is hard to erase
so its the colours I chase
Come with me, lets take the road less travelled
we’ll go beyond the borders paint outside the lines
Come with me lets fly, lets catch the wind
like a bird of the air, come with me
Still I am learning its the journey
and not the yearning
that makes it all worthwhile
So I’ll pay the price daily to live my life bravely
be the dreamer who walks the extra mile
I will make hope my rhythme
in the changing fortunes of time
For there are seasons to travel and stories to unravel
and I’ll know where I’m going when I get there.

Where Do Dreams Go To Die
Where did innocence go she asks on behalf of every soul
it was out of her control to keep it.
When did loneliness arrive he was sure he did not invite
or distance himself from humankind why won’t it leave him.
Oh tell me
Where do dreams for to die and hope lose its fire
I was sure I was walking the yellow brick road
Is there still resurrection life for the child I hide
beating in this heart of mine
I’ve heard the people say don’t live with your head in the clouds
its a long way down better to stay earthbound
Yet the good book reads with just the faith of a mustard seed
you can root out all the weeds and move the mountains
Oh tell me
Oh breathe in hope, hope, hope
Oh breathe in hope, hope, hope
I’m seeing hope up on the horizon
