Fear....
Joy at
the start
Fear
in the journey
Joy in the coming home
A part of the heart
Gets lost in the learning
Somewhere along the road
~~~ From "Along
The Road" ~~~
Rain keeps falling,
keeps falling down
Like it's never going to quit
Trouble stalks this one horse town
Like it can smell the fear inside of it
Through the night the fires rage
Mixing juices 'til they disengage
Mouths get hungry and the hands reach out
Is there something we should talk about
~~~ From "Higher
Ground" ~~~
Once in a vision I
came on some woods
And stood at a fork in the road
My choices were clear yet I froze with the fear
Of not knowing which way to go
Oh, one road was
simple acceptance of life
The other road offered sweet peace
When I made my decision
My vision became my release
~~~ From "Nether Lands" ~~~
You're a creature of
habit, run like a rabbit
Scared of a fear you can't name
Your own paranoia is looming before you
And nobody thinks that it's a game
Balance the cost of the soul you lost
With the dreams you lightly sold
Then tell me that you're free of the power of gold
The power of gold
~~~ From "The
Power Of Gold" ~~~
Plans I've made a masquerade
Fading in fear of the coming day
Heroes' tales like nightingales
Wrestle the wind as they run away
And if you ever hear them calling out
And if you've been by paupers crowned
Between the worlds of men and make-believe
I can be found
~~~ From "Scarecrows Dream" ~~~
You face the
future with a weary past
Those dreams you banked upon are fading fast
You know you love her but it may not last you fear
It's never easy and it's never clear
Who's to navigate and who's to steer
And so you flounder drifting ever near the rocks
It's hard to say where love went wrong
It's hard to say just when, so hard to say
It's hard to walk away from love
It may never come again
~~~ From "Hard To Say" ~~~
Breathlessly I
await the moment to surround you
Do not fear the song that makes you sing
It'll offer you wings to fly away
But do not expect to land if you can't stay
You better think
twice about leaving me behind
Make up your mind about what you're gonna do
You take my advice, Oh woman, you got to choose
Take a little time, You got nothing more to lose
~~~ From "You Better Think Twice"
