All I Want

All I Want

Young and ancient in my heart

I yearn to feel alive

I long to feel the touch of love

And know the reasons why

Why life is sad and days are long

Just something to get through

I need to know why I was born

And I want to know the truth

Friends? I never had a friend

At least someone I could trust

I thought I had one who loved me

But all it was was lust

My innocence was lured away

My trusting soul rejected

My emotions killed with cruel disdain

And my heart cries were neglected

All day I search the sky for God

All night I cringe in fear

My sleep is stolen by nightmares

And I feel no angel near

I walk the streets alone and cold

Even in the sunlight's glow

And laugh my bitter hardened laugh

That hides a broken soul

Too young! they tell me, you're too young

To feel like you should die

You have no reason to feel this way

To have sorrow in your eyes

But they don't know, they cannot know

How my heart longs to fly free

They see my youth, my unwrinkled brow

But I know they don't see me

I reach a halting outstretched hand

Sometimes to others when

They slap my hand and I say then

I'll never reach again

This nothingness is heavy

This emptiness is full

How can I believe that kindness lives

When all I see is cruel?

My life is like a bottomless pit

I tumble down and down

In dream and shadow, falling, hopeless

And laughing like a clown

And all I want is for someone

To fill up this widening crack

For God to reach down from the sky

And pat me on the back.

Caling To Me In The Dark (love theme for WOTW story

CALLING TO ME IN THE DARK

(love song for the Man With Sky Colored Eyes)

WARRIORS OF THE WAY

The Movie

VERSE ONE:

YEARS I STUMBLED IN THE TWILIGHT OF A NIGHT THAT NEVER ENDS

SEEKING SADLY FOR SOME COMFORT, SEARCHING STRANGERS FOR A FRIEND

LONGING UNKNOWN FOR THE SUNRISE OF LOVE SHINING ON MY HEART

NOW I SEE YOU ON THE HORIZON, CALLING TO ME IN THE DARK.

VERSE TWO:

HOW I'VE YEARNED TO HEAR A LOVE SONG, HOW I'VE PRAYED TO SEE THE RAIN

FALLING GENTLY ON MY SOUL NOW, WASHING ME CLEAN OF THE PAIN

NEVER KNOWING THAT YOUR SWEET LOVE COULD REVIVE AND MAKE ME LIVE

NEVER KNOWING YOU WERE LONGING FOR THE LOVE THAT I COULD GIVE.

CHORUS:

I HEAR YOU CALLING, LOVE IS FALLING

LIKE THE MORNING DEW IN MAY

AND I'M OH, SO SCARED TO LOVE YOU

BUT DON'T LET ME RUN AWAY

LOVE, DON'T LET ME RUN AWAY.

VERSE THREE:

ON THE ROAD NOW FOR FOREVER, WILL I REACH MY JOURNEY'S END?

FIGHTING BATTLES OF THE MIND, NOW, KEEPING MY SOUL SAFE FROM SIN

LIVING LONELY, HEART SO STONY, KEEPING MY GOALS FRESH AND TRUE

BUT JUST GOING THROUGH THE MOTIONS TILL MY EYES WERE LAID ON YOU.

VERSE FOUR:

NOW I SEE YOU RUNNING TOWARD ME, YOUR HANDS REACHING OUT TO ME

AND I FEEL THE TOUCH OF HEAVEN THAT MY EYES COULD NEVER SEE

AND THE FIRE IT BURNS INSIDE ME, WAS IGNITED BY THE SPARK

OF THE EMBER OF YOUR SWEET LOVE CALLING TO ME IN THE DARK.

CHORUS:

I HEAR YOU CALLING, LOVE IS FALLING

LIKE THE MORNING DEW IN MAY

AND I'M OH, SO SCARED TO LOVE YOU

BUT DON'T LET ME RUN AWAY

LOVE, DON'T LET ME RUN AWAY

EXTRA: SPOKEN WORD

THERE'S A LOVE FOR EVERY SOUL NOW

IN THIS LONELY, LOVELY PLACE

AND I SEE ME IN YOUR EYES NOW

AND I'M SHINING ON YOUR FACE

I CAN FEEL TOMORROW RISING

I SAY GOODBYE TO YESTERDAY

AND I'M HOME AT LAST IN YOUR ARMS

AND I'LL NEVER RUN AWAY

NO, LOVE, I'LL NEVER RUN AWAY.

The One

The One

Poet of my heart
Singer of my song
Lover of my sunny days
And every night so long

Dancer of my sweetheart waltz
Musician of the tune
That makes each step so feather light
It floats me to the moon

Embracer of my wanton needs
Kisser of my lips
Toucher of my silken form
With your fevered fingertips

Ravisher of my body
Satisfier of my soul
Alchemist that turns my tin
Into solid gold

Sweetest taste upon my mouth
Wine of which I never tire
Food of love that fills me up
Match that lights my fire

Smiling eyes that mesmerize
Hands that hold me close
My man, my prince, my everything
My mortal and my ghost

No words have I to further describe
My daylight, midnight Sun
In this world of men, unknown and known
You are the One, the only One.
