Late Bloomer

YouTube player

I feared I would not fit
I’m not young and gorgeous
I just could not make it
One ought to be flawless

But somewhere inside me
There is this desire
I’ve tested and tried me
Can not put out the fire

I am a late bloomer
But now I am sublime
I am a late bloomer
I really took my time
I am a late bloomer

I’m doubtful, uncertain
Afraid, quite unsure
I dropped the fire curtain
And followed the lure

I am a late bloomer
But now I am sublime
I am a late bloomer
I really took my time
I am a late bloomer

Not all of us get a wake up call
Not all of us grab our chance
You don’t have to become 10 feet tall
Or have a whirwind romance
Listen to the voice inside
Know it isn’t all fantasy
If you haven’t truly tried
It will all be a fallacy

I am a late bloomer
But now I am sublime
I am a late bloomer
I really took my time
I am a late bloomer
But now I am sublime
I am a late bloomer
I really took my time
I am a late bloomer

On the Way (Rubato)

YouTube player

You are a light to me
You shine for all to see
May you be loved ev’ry day ev’ry day ev’ry day
Your path be blessed on the way on the way on the way

As you move on in life
Let there be happiness in your life
Make every day a melody melody melody
Be all that you set out to be out to be out to be

Hero

YouTube player

One day I will hear the call
Some day I will dare to soar
Fearlessly defying protocol
No stopping me anymore

Along the way I may find
Serpents and dragons to slay
Help will be there to remind
Me not to back away

I am the hero of my own story
Fearlessly I’ll walk the talk
I am the hero of my own story
Gracefully I’ll walk the talk

Challenges on this new road
Will help me to mature
Life lessons for me to decode
Just when I’m feeling unsure

Guru’s will join my adventure
Wisdom amending innocence
I will uncover treasures
Find serendipity and coincidence

I am the hero of my own story
Mindfully I’ll walk the talk
I am the hero of my own story
Fearlessly I’ll walk the talk
I am the hero of my own story
Courageously I’ll walk the talk
I am the hero of my own story
Gracefully I’ll walk the talk

Faith

YouTube player

When darkness rolls in
And sunshine is hidden
Despair seems to win
And joy feels forbidden

Life will work out, my dear
Just open your eyes and you’ll see
Have faith in what will come to pass
You’re stronger than you’ll ever know
You are not alone in this
Surrender to destiny’s flow
Life will work out, my love
Just open your eyes and you’ll see

When nothing is smooth
But riddled with shadows
When no one can soothe
No faith in tomorrow

Life will work out, my dear
Just open your eyes and you’ll see
Have faith in what will come to pass
You’re stronger than you’ll ever know
You are not alone in this
Surrender to destiny’s flow
Life will work out, my love
Just open your eyes and you’ll see

Capacity for Love

YouTube player

When she stood alone
Feeling all her greatness
Chose the big unknown
Independent, gracious
Love danced right back in
Very unexpected
May their lives begin
Fully interconnected

Look at their incredible capacity for love
Their capacity to love
Each other

He danced into her life
With his heart wide open
The softness in his eyes
Shining, loving, golden
The kindness in his smile
Betrays his sweetness
He’ll walk her down the aisle
While we all bear witness

Look at their incredible capacity for love
Their capacity to love

The Water

YouTube player

My Love is gone and I am merely waiting
My Love is gone and I am merely waiting
Cause I love him so
Should I stop or go
How am I to know
When he will return from his quest across the water
If he will return from his quest across the water

My dream is over, what am I to do
My dream is over, what am I to do
Have no energy
Sitting listlessly
Cause I cannot see
How I can grow wings and fly beyond the water
If I can grow wings and fly beyond the water

Wise women often say see the miracles
All you need to do is be patient
Wise women often say see the miracles
All you need to do is be patient

As things end in life and come to a conclusion
As things end in life and come to a conclusion
I take time to think
To let it sink
See how they interlink
And learn some more before I set off across the water
And learn some more before I set off across the water

Wise women often say see the miracles
All you need to do is be patient
Wise women often say see the miracles
All you need to do is be patient

Home

YouTube player

It is time for me to leave
I am going back home
Back to my roots
Back to my source
Back to where I came from

It is time for me to leave
I am going back home
I’ll let you know I’m well
Although I do not know
If you can read my writing

Don’t miss me or be sad
I’ll hold you in my heart
As I know you will too
In a while you’ll come
We can re-connect
Know that I am happy

It is time for me to leave
I am going back home
I’ll remember why I came
I’ll remember what I learned
And what I had to offer

It is time for me to leave
I am going back home
I’ll travel through the dawn
Towards the east
Towards the light

Love and music

YouTube player

That feeling after a gourmet dinner
Or placing a bet and backing a winner
A brand new dress with matching shoes
Being pampered on a luxury cruise

But in the end
When push comes to shove
All that really truly matters is
Love and music
Love and music

The feeling of a good massage
An evening out with my entourage
A dip in the pool in my back yard
The smell of the inside of my new car

When worlds collide
And everything is lost
All that really truly matters is
Love and music

Rain

YouTube player

As I stand here
And feel the water
Running down my face
I wash my innocent hands
Hoping to clear myself from disgrace

My conscience is sitting near my ear
Telling me all that I did wrong
It burdens my heart to acknowledge
My mistakes all along

Rain
Sweet rain
Wash away my airs
Wash away the years
Rain
Sweet rain
Wash away my fears
And the tears

Over and over and over again
I catch myself being petty and cruel
I ought to know better
But I keep behaving like a fool

I intend to be kind-hearted
In every possible way
But I keep on failing, tripping, falling
On my face every day

Rain
Sweet rain
Wash away my airs
Wash away the years
Rain
Sweet rain
Wash away my fears
And the tears

Rain
Sweet rain
Wash away my airs
Wash away the years
Rain
Sweet rain
Wash away my fears
And the tears

Tell me

YouTube player

When I heard that you were leaving
Once I’d learned that you would go
My whole world fell apart
No I won’t stop believing
Refuse to see that it is so
Can’t bear my breaking heart

Tell me, that it’s not true
Show me, what I can do
Can’t live in this world without you
Tell me, that it’s not true

Now I know that you are going
I must try to understand
There’s nothing I can change
Try to stop myself from showing
Fate has the upper hand
Facts I want to rearrange

Tell me, that it’s not true
Show me, what I can do
Can’t live in this world without you
Tell me, that it’s not true

But you haven’t left yet
You are still around
Let us spend this time together
Like a treasure we have found
Golden hours in this daytime
Special whispers in the night
Memories that I can cherish
Holding on with all my might

Tell me, that it’s not true
Show me, what I can do
Can’t live in this world without you
Tell me, that it’s not true
