Greater Truth

04/26/08

You ask me to write down words, express now all my hurt

Writing to myself, expressing all the doubt

You say I’m not at ease, I sense the truth you see

If only I could be, walking proud and walking free

For you have no time it seems for a man with broken dreams

But I’ll respect now what you say, for I know there’ll come a day

When the sun will shine my way, and I will get to play

Like I did those yesterdays, how I wish I’d be more brave

But the truth is there in me when I trust in how I breathe

There’s no fear to get involved, no anger there at all

Just a man whose living life, loving all the signs

From the maps that show me how, oh girl I’ll come around

For I know it’s in my grasp, having had the final laugh

Just look and you will find the self that is divine

Shining bright and shining true, no longer just a fool

How I’ve been so very cruel, now it’s time to shade these blues

Gonna get up off my ass, live my life here while it lasts

Feel the wind now in my hair, and enjoy now every stare

As I am more aware

With a body being bare

Filled with passion, filled with spice

Feeling very nice

A lover’s recipe of a life now wild and free

How I know that I can be, all the man I long to be


What I mean what I say, that life is here today

And I will past the test, and kick it in the ass

No more worries holding back, no more pity from the past

Just a soul who’s free to laugh oh my time will be a blast

Cause God it’s there in me, I know now what I see

Can’t you feel the burning heat from the passions that I speak?

Gonna love now someone true, gonna know just what to do

When the time comes I’ll be brave and girl you’ll wish to say

That the truth is there in me when I trust in how I breathe

There’s no fear to get involved, no anger there at all

Just a man whose living life, loving all the signs

From the maps that show me how, oh girl I’ll come around

For I know it’s in my grasp, having had the final laugh

Just look and you will find the self that is divine

Shining bright and shining true, no longer just a fool

And live my greater truth; oh I know just what I’ll do

Gonna get up off my ass, live my life here while it lasts

Feel the wind now in my hair, and enjoy now every stare

As I am more aware

With a body being bare

Filled with passion, filled with spice

Feeling very nice

A lover’s recipe of a life now wild and free

How I know that I can be, all the man I long to be
