A Time For MeWhen will the time for me arrive
when I no longer have to strive
to fight to keep myself alive?
When will I travel land and see,
no longer bound by misery,
but free to bask in revelry?
When will my...

Three sides to every story
Many have told me it's all about "me"
every time I hear that I want to flee
let's talk it over
don't act like a rover
I always like to make it about we.
What can I say to you...

Time VanishingTime Vanishing
Time waits for no one.
Time flies when you're growing older.
Where does all the time go?
Watching your kids grow.
More gray hair.
Some turn silver.
Wrinkles hands to face.
Time fades.
Life is passing me by.
Just turned 49.
Reflections left behind.
Clock...

It's Always Our Time a song[Intrumental intro]
[verse]
I missed you
you came back
then bowed out again
life's crazy times
cutting in like sin
And so I will sing to you
the only thing I know
to reach out
to comfort
just so you know
I don't blame you
I know you...

In the Quiet HoursIn the hush of early morning, before the world stirs,
I sit alone, sifting memories like sand through my fingers.
The silence weighs soft, like a blanket left out in the damp,
and each thought drifts in slow,...

A Moment Frozen In TimeWhile I think of that night
Try to remember what happened that night
All I remember is feeling pure joy
As I think back I can not think of a single miserable thought
Feeling like...

Child of timesA sun-kissed velvet, or a fiery flame,
A goblet of a minstrel's wine, the same.
A flash within his gaze, a heart laid bare,
A mirror to his soul, beyond compare.
A dervish's heart, a crimson stain,
The dregs of...

SnowI’m getting old, and where I live I doubt
I’ll see it any more, except maybe on screen
When troubled towns are featured in the news,
Or in those festive greetings cards with sleighs
Or frozen pines, perhaps a...

Time is the HealerInspired by Time is the Healer by Glenn Hughes
It's an old expression.
Time heals every wound.
It's not an easy lesson
when you've been marooned.
It's an old expression.
A watched pot won't boil,
and your depression
won't lift or uncoil.

Not Much Time Left Herethe world is done with me,
that is a part of the journey,
people ask “are you sick?”
no, just, done trying...
just done trying to be,
to be anything other than me.
and the world hates who they see,
so, that...

TimeIt can be your greatest friend
A wonderful gift
There till the end
Repairing the rift
But sometimes it carries
A devastating weight
Fulfilling its role
As the arbiter of fate
Spent the right way
It's the key to your growth
Wasted each day
Die quicker...
