Stars in my Eyes
Heading toward the stars
Look at the view screen there goes Mars
Fire the retros lets make a move on
The planet is far and the journey is long
I don't think I'll like
Suspended animation
I was once a boy
Sometimes I still am
I used to play with toys
Now I hope for girlfriends
I've even been told I have stars in my eyes
But behind the stars the eyes were disguised
Not due to pain and I wasn't insane
It's just that the stars in my eyes were in vain
Because I lost my way in this big world of song
My purpose was gone before it had begun
I know I'm not brilliant but not also dumb
But can't seem to catch up even if I run
Can't blame nobody not even my mom
Can't even find my way back to square one
Look at the view screen there goes Mars
Fire the retros lets make a move on
The planet is far and the journey is long
I don't think I'll like
Suspended animation
I was once a boy
Sometimes I still am
I used to play with toys
Now I hope for girlfriends
I've even been told I have stars in my eyes
But behind the stars the eyes were disguised
Not due to pain and I wasn't insane
It's just that the stars in my eyes were in vain
Because I lost my way in this big world of song
My purpose was gone before it had begun
I know I'm not brilliant but not also dumb
But can't seem to catch up even if I run
Can't blame nobody not even my mom
Can't even find my way back to square one
All Been Said
We've all said we want a revolution
And we've waved our fists in defiance
At least at the television set
Away from the police sirens
But all we do is watch money turn to glue
To be tugged at from every side
And the government makes cutbacks
While blaming the young slacks
For taking us all for a ride
They all tried to educate their children
Worked and saved for better finance
Society has almost succeeded
In dimming young peoples horizons
Some blame the generation gap
And there is one there it's positive fact
And we've waved our fists in defiance
At least at the television set
Away from the police sirens
But all we do is watch money turn to glue
To be tugged at from every side
And the government makes cutbacks
While blaming the young slacks
For taking us all for a ride
They all tried to educate their children
Worked and saved for better finance
Society has almost succeeded
In dimming young peoples horizons
Some blame the generation gap
And there is one there it's positive fact
A Simple Act
It is sad for anyone who is lonely, all alone
Life seems lost without someone to call your own
If everyone had someone every day all the time
It would be living and loving poetry all in rhyme
It has been said before
Through the eons of time
That loving without leaving
Would make the whole world shine
It can't be done by hard work
It can't be done with money
Or by letting yourself go beserk
Or trying to be funny
It can't be done by reading books
It can't be done by magic
It can't be done by raising looks
Or by making life seem tragic
It can't be done by running
By pushing or by shoving
It's an act too deep to traverse
An act simply called loving
Life seems lost without someone to call your own
If everyone had someone every day all the time
It would be living and loving poetry all in rhyme
It has been said before
Through the eons of time
That loving without leaving
Would make the whole world shine
It can't be done by hard work
It can't be done with money
Or by letting yourself go beserk
Or trying to be funny
It can't be done by reading books
It can't be done by magic
It can't be done by raising looks
Or by making life seem tragic
It can't be done by running
By pushing or by shoving
It's an act too deep to traverse
An act simply called loving
Stand Up Tall
No I'm not gonna fall behind
The pace that I've been living
I'm not gonna crawl behind
The waste that I've been giving
To myself with some help
From the smoke
And I'm not gonna feel sorry
Just because I got lost
I'm not gonna stop to worry
Or I'll pay the cost for my ways
The price is days
And I'm flat broke
I'm gonna stride along head held high
It's time to leave this far behind
Over ground underneath my feet
No more shall I deceive
Myself, my position
My beliefs
It's too late now to be caught in the vice
I'm gonna stand tall and take my own advice
I'm too far gone to stick around for more
I've bags to pack
I'm heading off
Unto a distant shore
The pace that I've been living
I'm not gonna crawl behind
The waste that I've been giving
To myself with some help
From the smoke
And I'm not gonna feel sorry
Just because I got lost
I'm not gonna stop to worry
Or I'll pay the cost for my ways
The price is days
And I'm flat broke
I'm gonna stride along head held high
It's time to leave this far behind
Over ground underneath my feet
No more shall I deceive
Myself, my position
My beliefs
It's too late now to be caught in the vice
I'm gonna stand tall and take my own advice
I'm too far gone to stick around for more
I've bags to pack
I'm heading off
Unto a distant shore
A Day in Tune
Oh sunset blazing
Through the forest heat
Treetops lazing
As you sleep
Orange lighting the distant hills
Can tomorrow be better still
Ocean puffing
A gentle breeze
Soothing the parched
And curling leaves
People wander on your laughing shore
Can tomorrow bring any more
Birds of all kinds
Saying goodnight
As other creatures
Come to life
Through the path of their time
Will tomorrow again be in rhyme
Darkness
The stars come out to play
Sparkling shining dining
On moonlights day
Nothing touches them or gets in the way
Until the lights of the night turn to day
People of every kind
And every race
Struggle to adopt
And equal natures grace
Without trying sometimes they succeed
Without trying sometimes they are freed
Through the forest heat
Treetops lazing
As you sleep
Orange lighting the distant hills
Can tomorrow be better still
Ocean puffing
A gentle breeze
Soothing the parched
And curling leaves
People wander on your laughing shore
Can tomorrow bring any more
Birds of all kinds
Saying goodnight
As other creatures
Come to life
Through the path of their time
Will tomorrow again be in rhyme
Darkness
The stars come out to play
Sparkling shining dining
On moonlights day
Nothing touches them or gets in the way
Until the lights of the night turn to day
People of every kind
And every race
Struggle to adopt
And equal natures grace
Without trying sometimes they succeed
Without trying sometimes they are freed
Right Now
Yesterday we played a children's game
A game of knowing nothing
But things have changed in many ways
And we are learning something
Still each day goes by
And time does fly looking back on life
And each day we try
To lie in the shadows and be high
Oh why don't I know what to do right now
Mr's Haily doesn't like the rain
It reduces her to nothing
While her children play their own mind games
All at ease exploring something
Still her world turns round
Contented on her orderly ground
She can only try
To make friends and hobbies to keep her high
Oh why don't she know what to do right now
The leaders play a dangerous game
A game of knowing nothing
Cause things have changed in many ways
And the outcastes are molding something
Still each day goes by
The unhurt turn in with a contented sigh
And each day they try
To look for a reason to be high
Oh why don't they know what to do right now
A game of knowing nothing
But things have changed in many ways
And we are learning something
Still each day goes by
And time does fly looking back on life
And each day we try
To lie in the shadows and be high
Oh why don't I know what to do right now
Mr's Haily doesn't like the rain
It reduces her to nothing
While her children play their own mind games
All at ease exploring something
Still her world turns round
Contented on her orderly ground
She can only try
To make friends and hobbies to keep her high
Oh why don't she know what to do right now
The leaders play a dangerous game
A game of knowing nothing
Cause things have changed in many ways
And the outcastes are molding something
Still each day goes by
The unhurt turn in with a contented sigh
And each day they try
To look for a reason to be high
Oh why don't they know what to do right now
