What Are You Thinking
Meek
Silent
Quiet one
What are you thinking
Are you contemplating
The human existence
Are you wondering down
The pathways of the human soul
Maybe you are
Dreaming and scheming
Plans for the future
Meek
Silent
Quiet one
What are you thinking
Are you thinking
About the one who broke your heart
Smashed it to peices
Tore it apart
Or maybe
Contemplating the cosmos
And our relation to it
Coming up with some grand theary to connect it all
Meek
Silent
Quiet one
What are you thinking
Are you trying to solve
The world's problems
Are you thinking
Of writting a book
Expressing the thoughts and feelings<...
These Hands
With these hands
I’ve worked the Earth
I’ve brought forth crops
That have fed the hungry
That fed the livestock
With these hands
I have loved
I’ve shown great mercy
I’ve comforted the lonely
I’ve brought peace to the needy
With these hands
I’ve healed the sick
I’ve mended the injured
I’ve fed the hungry
I’ve educated people
With these hands
I’ve built up cities
I’ve given the homeless a home
These hands are
Scratched
Tired
Worn
They have done their job
They have kept up with demand
Now it is time for rest
These hands are old and worn
With lots of work
Lots of labor
...The Voice
I am the voice
Of one calling for freedom
I am the voice
Of one shouting in the streets
I am the voice
Of one excited with joy
I am the voice
Of one without food to eat
Voices come from everywhere
Can you hear them
They are calling
They are crying
They need to be heard
I am the voice
Of a farmer working in the field
I am the voice
Of one sick and ill
I am the voice
Singing a song
I am the voice
Just humming along
The voice of the people
The voice of a nation
Sing with joy
Or moaning with dread
Raise your voice
Let it be heard
...The Virgin
I stand before the world
A virgin
New
Untouched
Pure
My knowledge of the world
Is shallow at best
Every mistake I make
Every victory I have
Brings me closer to the fullness of who I am
The pure emotions that pour from my soul
The great fire that burns from the depth within
Is just an echo of life itself
I stand before the world
A virgin
New
Untouched
Pure
...Shine On My Friend
Shine on my friend
I will miss you
Your laughter
Your joy
Your love of life
You were one amazing person
Shine on my friend
Though you are gone
You will
Never
Ever
be forgotten
The memories we made together
Will not let that happen
Shine on my friend
Trough you have past on
I know you are in a better place
You will be missed
Though you have departed from this world
I now you are in a much better place
Shine on my friend
Shine on
...Farming
To live a life of simple ease
To live where the corn grows
In the blowing breeze
To work the cows
To plow the fields
To bail the hay
To bring in the yield
Life on a farm
Is simple and true
From milking the cows
To using the tools
Life on a farm
There is nothing like
Working in the morn
To bring the cows to the barn
Life on the farm
Is simple and clean
Alright sometime not
If you know what I mean
There’s nothing else like it
That you’ve ever known
Life on a farm is sometimes slow
Life on a farm
As it is for me
Truth of hard work
Truth of honesty
...Depression
Walking down life's lonely road
All my burdens taking a toll
I don't know if I can go on
All seems dark and dead
These voices in my head
Filling my mind with dread
The pain that fills my soul
The pain that destroys bone
There is no light
All is dark in front of me
Dread and pain
Sarrow and rain
All is a gloomy haze
Distress
Fear
Doubt
Hurt
Pain
I feel trapped
There is no way out
Sadness floods in
I drown in tears
I drown in fears
...Stand By Me
Stand by me
I am your friend
Stand by me
I'll walk this path with you to the end
We are friends
Have been all our lives
We lean on each other for support
In our darkest times
We've shared joys
Special moments in our lives
We've watched each other's kids grow up
To lead successful lives
Stand by me
I am your friend
Stand by me
I'll walk this path with you to the end
...Farm Life
Sitting underneath this tree
Feeling the warm summer breeze
Sitting underneath this tree
Letting life pass me by
I work the fields all day long
Plowing rows and bailing hay
Bring the cattle in
To put them in the barn
There is nothing
That’s going to change my ways
Do this a million times
Always the same
Do what I grew up
Knowing how to do
Is my way of being true
Sweat pours down my chin
As I go stacking wood again
When the cattle start to roam
I just go out and bring them back home
When the sun sets at the day’s end
Time to rest my back again
Time to let life go
The easy way
...Do You
Do you have the spirit to follow your dreams
No holding back
No slowing down
Do you have the ability to do what it takes
To not give up your values
To not loose your spirit
Do you truly understand what it means
To give your all
To not hold back
To work hard
Do you desire
To reach your goals
To find your gift
...
