Rich Love – Page 3 – FREESTYLEVISION

Through You

My walls are closing in
It’s time to begin
When I offer my imperfections
My life can begin

Did you find your place in life
Did you explore your dreams
Or were you running too fast
Experiencing a world of extremes

Love flows through you
I receive love through you

The Sound

I can’t believe my eyes
Distorted views decay within
In a world of vanity
How does love stand again

It seems like I’m sinking deep
Drowning in the sea
And every time I try to rise
I’m down on my knees

Children ride bicycles in busy streets
Without traffic lights
We keep spinning around
Waiting here to ignite

It seems like I’m falling fast
Rocks are crashing down
And every time I try to stand
I here the sound

This was written during my drug days so I had to think about this one before posting it. I think what it says to me is that no matter how bad things appeared on the outside, inside on the back burner God’s calling was loud enough for me to hear. Twenty-five years later His voice has become clearer as I open my heart to others.

Queen Without A King

She’s always talking about everyone else
She’s a little too prefect too good for herself
Her life is a palace she knows everything
And I know that’s why I’m not her king

She’s a queen she’s searching
She’s a queen without a king

She lives a queen’s life with who she’ll choose
Just when she’s winning that once more to loose
She’ll dream of another, she’ll fantasize
For someone to be there and dry her eyes

(When she cries)

She’s a queen she’s waiting
She’s a queen without a king

Highway Standoff

Live with details and blown out tires
Thank God there were no casualties
Pour out your feelings driver
We don’t want your big story
It’s the second time this week
Another highway standoff

Why can’t you tell me what you really want from me
Sometimes I feel the need to escape somewhere beyond the sun
Somewhere beyond all this I see

Downhill

People taking chances without any rhythm or reason
I can’t help from wondering if every day is a big story
Living gets harder by the moment when you’re going downhill
It takes all I have not to lose myself in worry

I’ve been up and down round and round
And when I believe to understand things
I’m the farthest from the truth

Every day seems the same as yesterday
Sometimes I can’t help from feeling angry with today

I’ve been coasting downhill living wild
I think about the choices I’ve made and the damage done
I’m just coasting along

There’s a child inside and he likes to hide
Don’t know why I act like an imbecile
I’m further from the truth than ever before

It’s downhill from here on out
But I’m not letting it ruin my tomorrow
And every time I think I’m ahead
I’m further behind than ever before

I’m living for tomorrow
And slowly changing the choices I made today
By being here now.

The sun is always shining behind the clouds. In my twenties I always knew how to think from the end even during my lowest point. I’ve always wanted more for others than wanting for myself even if I appeared self-centered at times. It was the only process I knew how to change my life and street drugs helped in that journey of self-discovery. Begin to see the good in the bad and learn to be an appreciator of all walks of life.

Imagination is more important than knowledge.

Dream Within A Dream

It was nearing sunset
Somewhere in a dream within a dream
As I stood facing the end of day
I felt love whisper in my ear

Within every single moment
Within every whimsical stage
I heard the leaves whirl and wind whistle
I am still dreaming

When you come to know and realize love
This illusion vanishes like a dream in the night

After a timeless period that flows again and again
Where space and time are nowhere I will awake

Bleary-eyed

I’m openly confused and bleary-eyed
I’m waiting for something bigger than myself
Diving for pearls and searching for freedom
Let me drown in the ocean of love

Evolve and awaken me from on High
Merge me with You keep love close
Give me a key to unlock closed doors
Let my soul forever soar

Stand up, reach out, hold on and listen for the call.

Everybody is saying

Everybody is saying
That there’s something wrong with me
But everybody is running
And they never move at all
Everyone is happy
Behind a veil of illusion
But someday from the fence they will fall
Everybody is saying
Without truly doing
Everybody is dreaming
Pointing fingers in blame
Just because I won’t play their game

This was written by an angry man (me) sitting in the psych ward. If we don’t begin listening instead of hearing the cries of the insane there will be endless tragedy within the world caused by the mentally ill.

Coming Back (Part Two)

My record’s bad, my love is sad
I long for you, I’m coming back

Coming back, coming back
Don’t you cry babe, I’m coming back

They locked me up for getting mad
So don’t you cry girl, I’m coming back

Coming back, coming back
Don’t you cry babe, I’m coming back

Girl, I’ll never lie as long as you’ll take me back
So don’t you cry my pet, I’m coming back

Hey babe, do you want me back
I need to know the real fact
Let me take you by the hand
Take you with me to see the band

(Bass solo)

Coming back, coming back
Don’t you cry babe, I’m coming back

My record’s bad, my love is mad
I long for you, I’m coming back
I believe you’ve been messing with a number of men
Don’t expect to see them again ’cause I’m coming back

Coming back, coming back, coming back

Too Close

I saw you holding him too close, too close
You had me believing you almost, almost

I’m not looking back on the shadows of the past
But sometimes, I’ll think of you and the love that was too last

Step back, won’t you please your too close
You were my first love and now your back, back again
In the beginning we were shining that made us close
But after a while I could see the rain and the end

I’m not going to follow you through the shadows of the past
I like it the way it is not too close not too fast
