Ulysses (Seek a Newer World)
The lights begin to twinkle from the rocks:
The long day wanes: the slow moon climbs: the deep
Moans round with many voices.
Come, my friends,
‘Tis not too late to seek a newer world.
Come, my friends,
‘Tis not too late to seek a newer world.
and though
We are not now that strength which in old days
Moved earth and heaven; that which we are, we are;
One equal temper of heroic hearts,
Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.
Come, my friends,
‘Tis not too late to seek a newer world.
Come, my friends,
‘Tis not too late to seek a newer world.

Spread your arms out
Stretch as wide as you can
Run faster and faster
Become the Bird-Man
Become the Bird-Man
Wear your feathers well
King of the Birds
Utter sentences
Of encouraging words
Your Queen is waiting in the wings
Your Songbird Queen softly sings
The wind is bending
All the tops of the trees
Calling you skywards
Beckoning you beyond the leaves
Become the Bird-Man
Wear your feathers well
King of the Birds

Wielding Words
The power of the words we wield
Can easily build a hurdle
Careful with your wielding words
Wielding words, wielding words
Raise up all that’s fallen to the ground
A bruised sound splinters into pieces
A sharpened tongue cuts the ones we love
Wielding words, wielding words
The power of the words we wield
Can easily build a hurdle
Careful with your wielding words
A sharpened tongue cuts the ones we love

JFJ
I’m sitting at the corner table
Dreaming of flight
Headed toward an ecstatic sky
Caught on the wind blown out of sight
Playing to another empty venue below
Sits a rabbit with a paw in the air sat at a piano
There’s so many ideas to capture on canvas
For each brush stroke to find
There’s so many colours yet to see
But a shortage of time
I’m absorbed into the pages of
A book filled reading room
Where four howling dogs and a crow is backlit
By the light of the Moon
A dark sea rolls beneath a darker sky
As Fox and Bunny dance, never questioning why?
There’s so many ideas to capture on canvas
For each brush stroke to find
There’s so many colours yet to see
But a shortage of time
There’s so many ideas to capture on canvas
For each brush stroke to find
There’s so many colours yet to see
But a shortage of time

Googly Eyed
Take the time to be kind
To yourself and you will find
Everything you left behind
Is still there just waiting
Each time the heart is pushed away
Makes it determined more to stay
Throughout the chaos and the calm
Googly eyed and waiting

Googly Eyed (Part 2)
Take the time to be kind
To yourself and you will find
Googly eyed, everything looks better with googly eyes
Googly eyed, the world looks better with googly eyes
This love has never flown away
This heart has never really changed
At its core it still beats true
Standing here and waiting
Each time the heart is pushed away
Makes it determined more to stay
Throughout the chaos and the calm
Googly eyed and waiting
This love has never flown away
This heart has never really changed
At its core it still beats true
Standing here and waiting

Googly eyed, the world looks better with googly eyes

Living Eulogy
You’re the special someone
The puzzles missing part
A bolt of lightning striking
The deadwood of the heart
I’ve been hanging on your every word
Spinning to your favourite song
Taking cover underneath your wings
You’ve been turning my broken lights on
It’s impossible to sum up
In just a few words
Quite what you mean to me
You’re the biggest inspiration
To this mortal life
Occupying my every dream
I’ve been hanging on your every word
Spinning to your favourite song
Taking cover underneath your wings
You’ve been turning my broken lights on

The Pull & The Drag
The pull and the drag of the ocean
The push and the stab of emotion
The swell of the heart igniting the spark
Love like a rush an explosion
The pull and the drag of the ocean
The push and the stab of emotion
The swell of the heart igniting the spark
Love like a rush an explosion
The pull and the drag of the ocean
From calm and static to wild and erratic
Twisting and rolling once more
Pulled along dragged back down beneath
To surface stronger than before
From calm and static to wild and erratic
Twisting and rolling once more
Pulled along dragged back down beneath
To surface stronger than before

Epilogue
I can’t promise you the World
If you choose to back me
But I’ll give you all I have and more
Just wait and see
Honesty is the best policy
I promise to be true
Honesty is the best policy
I choose to keep on loving you
I can’t promise you the World
If you choose to back me
But I’ll give you all I have and more
Just wait and see
Honesty is the best policy
I promise to be true
Honesty is the best policy
I choose to keep on loving you
With this epilogue
I will soon sign off
I will choose to love
I will choose to love
