I walk along the sandy shore,
waves lapping me like an anxious lover
while men ogle me with their smiles
and with eyes that see my flesh,
but not my heart;
No wonder I used to question my worth . . .

It is a name for something you can see
If I tell you the word

In my mind there is a picture of me that was never taken
I'm leaning on a grand piano, a club that's smoky
All eyes on me

At times I feel weary;
My mind is filled with nonsense
that I cannot seem to let go.
Deep down I realize
that all I need to do
is give it all to You,
but surrender is hard.

Pieces of me scattered
in the heavens,
on the ground,
in the faces of the children,
in the place where love abounds.
Pieces of me scattered

She looks out the window,
the window to her soul;
Vast open spaces
calling her name;
a longing that lingers,
a fire that burns,
a passion to be heard,
to never be the same;
She feels consumed

Sometimes I feel like a rebellious child
just waiting for my daddy to scold me,
tell me to behave myself,
be a good girl,
a safe girl,

That would spin your head around
That would open up your heart
Now wouldn't that be something to behold
Weave words to make a flower unfold . . .

Many are sick from too much beery.
All awaken to new beginnings,
Promising to do no sinning.
Some will resolutions make,
Within a week many will break.

because I've led myself down dark corridors,
danced on metal drums
when I should have kept to the soft pathway,
bloodied myself with shards of glass . . .
