We don’t like change

Because change brings around pain

And for all we know

The hardest part is letting go

Saying goodbye is never an easy thing

We hold on, we hold on

Long after the feeling is gone

There’s a beginning and an end

Letting go is the key to starting again

<> <> <> <> <> <> <> <>

We choose pain

Because pain is easier than change

Its a trick of time that we must grow

Because saying goodbye means letting go

This is exactly what we try to resist

We hold on, we hold on

To moments that are long gone

We get caught up in the middle

Letting go opens the door more than a little

You are a wonder

A treasure to discover

A precious work of art

You’re like a lover

Who touches my heart

<> <> <> <> <>

You are so priceless

Worth more than any gold

You shine brighter than silver

To have and to hold

You behold and bewilder

<> <> <> <> <>

You are so special

My one and only one

Every single thing you do

And all that you’ve done

Leave me celebrating you

Ever since he was a child

His untamed heart has always been wild

For he was a dreamer

A childhood believer

Riding down the river of his dreams

Finding his purpose amongst the trees

And dancing in the breeze

He would go into the forest

To wander along the paths that he knew best

For he always knew

Exactly what he wanted to do

His heart was filled with such high hopes

Blazing trails and swinging from ropes

He was clinging onto challenging slopes

A boy who understood darkness

And the ways of the wavy lines of progress

For he lived to discover

Always loved to uncover

Wading in the middle of the valley streams

He realized the world is as magnificent as it seems

All alone in the forest of hopes and dreams

A symphony of feelings

An orchestra of emotions

Stirs into motion with these dealings

<> <> <> <> <>

The awakening of the strings

Gently pulls upon our heart

The romance starts within, before it sings

<> <> <> <> <>

We are swept away

We get lost in love

Spirits rise above, the music makes us sway

<> <> <> <> <>

Like a work of art

Two voices in harmony, sound

A melody all around, surrounds matters of the heart

Everybody hurts…

Everybody aches….

Every one’s foundation is rocked

When the ground beneath them quakes

<> <> <> <> <> <> <>

We all suffer loss…

We all feel pain…

Everyone is in need of recovery

To restore our lives, making us whole once again

<> <> <> <> <> <> <>

For all life’s woes…

For all life’s downs…

Everyone is looking for an escape

A place where smiles replace the sadness of our frowns

<> <> <> <> <> <> <>

It happens to me…

It happens to you…

Everyone gets hung up sometimes

Holding hope inside our hearts is the best that we can do

Reflections of you, reflections of me

Dancing the way stanzas, play out in poetry

Two lives twined together in relative harmony

<> <> <> <> <> <> <>

Reflections of dark, reflections of light

Creates beautiful images, like a candle burning bright

From the darkest shade of black to a blank canvas of white

<> <> <> <> <> <> <>

Reflections of now, reflections of then

Remembering things from the past, remembering when

How so many moments, we long to visit again

<> <> <> <> <> <> <>

Reflections of hopes, reflections of dreams

Flow throughout our lives, like rivers and streams

Carrying out our promise, the way the full moon beams

(Thanks, Kyler)

As infants we crawl on the floor

As children we become curious and explore

As adults we learn the importance of opening every door

Is it just human nature, or something else, that has us always seeking more?

<> <> <> <> <> <> <> <>

We lay upon the ground, staring into the big blue sky above

We wonder what if feels like to fly so peacefully, like a dove

We long for the kind of love that fits us perfectly, hand in glove

Why is it, that at times we lose our way, and need someone to give us a shove?

<> <> <> <> <> <> <> <>

In the spring we witness the blossoming colors and the promise of everything new

In the summer we live for those long hot nights and doing all that there is to do

In the fall, the harvest moon will call, school begins, and the lazy days are through

In the winter, the days grow shorter, the nights get colder, and we run from the flu

Funny, how the seasons of our lives, have such great influence on me and you

(For Stevie Nicks, Dave Stewart, and “In Your Dreams”)

For everything is not as simple as it seems

Inspiration fuels many fires and ignites all of our dreams

They had both come off one of their driest spells

They had to dig much deeper to get the water from their wells

But the beauty of their magic is like a painting that compels

He came with some simple chords and danced into her home

Together they created sweet music from many of her poems

<> <> <> <> <> <> <> <>

She was reminded of how things were back in the day

She hoped her songs and her stories would show the world another way

For so many years she had danced across stages like an actress in a play

<> <> <> <> <> <> <> <>

The way they worked together, she found her spirit suddenly awaking

For the passion that brought them together was magic in the making

<> <> <> <> <> <> <> <>

Beauty in the giving

Magic in the making

Beauty in the living

Magic in the making

Ah ah ah…..sweet magic

Her dreams…sweet magic

As I walk along the road, I wonder why

Are all the answers written up in the sky?

Or are they blowing in the wind like a lullaby?

<> <> <> <> <> <> <>

As I open up my eyes

To find a marvelous surprise

There’s such great promise

Great promise…

With each sunrise

<> <> <> <> <> <> <>

The passing of the seasons makes me sigh

Today will pass, and so I must say goodbye

My tears fall, like a passing storm, when I cry

<> <> <> <> <> <> <>

Funny, how the time just flies

Getting older, but am I wise?

Another chance for me…

For me to realize

With each sunrise

Oh, oh oh, oh I

each sunrise

I’m looking for…you to change my mind

I’m looking for…something I cannot seem to find

I’m looking for…someone who is rich, although he’s poor

I’m looking for…the keys to unlock my unanswered door

I’m looking for…a way to let you know

I’m looking for…the starring role in your show

I’m looking for…a beauty like the sunrise at each new dawn

I’m looking for…words that will live on, long after I am gone
