I want to live
A good, simple life
Beauty in self insight
I realize what needs to be told
Give it time
Give it a shot
In this life
Use what you've got
Be true to the world
Be thankful there is one
To live and achieve
Happiness in your passion
Oh Give it time!
Oh Give it a shot
In this life
Use what you got
There is so much more ahead of us
But look how far we've gone

Chicago

Trapped in little boxes place to place
And only one thing keeps that smile on her face
Cold containers rush us here to there
This place is great but we're just not happy anywhere
It walks, and it walks, and it walks away from me
And it pushes away all the things that I've been investing
In the person who's now set aside to a place where I am not
Hear that Chicago din, rumbling, swaying in the wind
This time the dirty side wins, as the rain falls down
This love that I let in has burst out flowing
And it's filthy as the rain, I can feel my toes going
Out come the cameras, things are getting stale
You know a hundred photos can tell some untrue tales
We're all growing, we are all young
But there are so many hopeful futures yet to be sung
It walks, and it walks, and it walks away from me
And it pushes away all the things that I've been investing
But I know it's a natural thing, I'll step forward, I'll let go
Hear that Chicago din, rumbling swaying with the wind
Sometimes the shallow end gets the best of us
But you won't let a feeling win, 'cause your God is with you
You'll be clean after the rain, I can feel our fears going away
I'm glad I've spoken up, when I let it fester, then I forget
That God is on the move, and he always was
I can see a bit better now
Of course emotions will always pull
But I wont face them on my own
On a stoop out in the rain
On a stoop out in the rain...

I swear I've cried a thousand tears about you
Oh, the 'blah, blah, blah, come back to me'
Over the piles and piles of songs written about you
Like the radio, 1993
April afternoons, and we'd stay in
Much too ambitious, when will this begin?
Well, balance shifted and you resisted for so long
But if the iron's never thrown through fire
It will not stay strong
So I need you to know, yeah I need you to know
That I swear I've cried a thousand tears about you
Oh, the 'blah, blah, blah, come back to me'
Over the piles and piles of songs written about you
Like the radio, 1993
If you never believe
Enough to take that first step
Then you may never see
The world as it was made to be
The world in all it's beauty
But I know you can believe
Enough to take that first step
And I know that you will see
The world as it was made to be
In overwhelming beauty
Take a step!
I swear I've cried a thousand tears about you
Oh, the 'blah, blah, blah, come back to me'
Over the piles and piles of songs written about you
Like the radio, 1993
And I need you to know that I worry about you
It comes back to me, occasionally
Over the piles and piles of songs written about you
Like the radio, 1993
Its like the radio, 1993
Yeah

Something To Keep

I have a problem
It swells with fictional ideas
If i let it sit
Will it disappear far from here?
I have a problem
It swells with diseases
If i let it sit
Will it disappear far from here?
Solving the mysteries
Tracking down some enemy
I wanna live but i'm not fit for it
I wanna save you but i'm not fit for it
You won't listen
You have to grow up
And so do i
I cannot save you
Only you can
Why do we follow?
Why do you lead?
Why do you follow?
Why do I lead at all?
Maybe deep down i want my problems to stay
So i can do nothing about it
At all
I wish I could understand myself
like you do.
I have a problem
It swells with fictional ideas
If i let it sit
Will it disappear far from here?
Create the drama
Create entertainment
What are we here for?
Tell me the meaning
Meaning of existing
I've been longing for answers
Stop longing for answers
And just go live
