ANOTHER SIDE OF ME
I’ve seen what life can be about And haven’t liked what I have seen So I retreat into the life I live on my own. In the bubble that’s my mind No one can hurt, erase my pride Existing in the cloud that’s life alone.
I know that there’s another side to me Just waiting for the right time To let myself be free Need courage to escape the pain To lift myself above the rain To allow no-one to hurt me this way again
You’ll never know just how I feel The numbness that’s so very real Living with each and every hidden scar Feels like it was just yesterday Won’t go away. Seems here to stay. Wonder if my dreams will ever play their part.
I know that there’s another side to me Just waiting for the right time To let myself be free Need courage to escape the pain To lift myself above the rain To allow no-one to hurt me this way again
So I will choose to step outside me Build up courage and test my theory Time to give my life a brand new start Dare to imagine how it could feel To feel the freedom of being pain free To follow every dream inside my heart.
Yes, I know that I’ll be scared To start with I’ll need those who care And want me to succeed my every step But I can find the power within To not allow the hurt to win To rise above the life that I now live.
Because I know that there’s another side to me I’ve waited for the right time To let myself be free I now have the courage to escape the pain To lift myself above the rain No-one will ever hurt me this way again
TIMELESS IMITATION (Working in London)
Rising in the morning I dress to suit the day. My hair just seems to fall In that old familiar way. Feel just like the day before Half asleep but I’m ok. It’s a timeless imitation Of what happened yesterday.
No time for that first coffee Water will have to do. I run to catch the train Knowing the minute that it’s due. Platform’s packed. Will I get a seat? Maybe not today. Cause it’s a timeless imitation Of what happened yesterday.
Breathe a sigh. Headphones on. Glance without a stare. Doesn’t know you’re looking So has no need to care. The workmen on the track before Are there again today. It’s a timeless imitation Of what happened yesterday.
Open the door before it stops. Train’s late. Hope I won’t fall. Stride between the concrete giants That make me feel so small. Check the clock. I made it. Face another working day. It’s a timeless imitation Of what happened yesterday.
Time again to turn to leave. Might catch the early train. Contemplate what I’ve achieved Or was it all in vain. Just want to rest, if I can When I get home tonight. Prepare to start again because Another day’s in sight.
It’s a timeless imitation Of what happened yesterday. Timeless imitation of The way life is today. Repetition, confirmation How long can I live this life? Want to make a difference Want to get it right.

Watch as the dawn breaks through The misty morning light Unfolding gently within its soft caress The dew suspends itself On unsuspecting leaves Like a tender touch, a close and caring sense
The slowly rising day Parts from the muted night Awakening life itself from innocent dreams Emerging softened light Shrouded in the mist Holds a sun that warms, invites and heals
And as the day begins new life I feel a love that’s swelling in me now From deep inside Then as warm rain touches my face I sigh and kiss the rain Before the beauty fades
Watch as the dawn breaks through The misty morning light Unfolding gently within its soft caress The dew suspends itself On unsuspecting leaves Like a tender touch, a close and caring sense
The sun’s inviting arms Touches all it perceives Releasing movement on the earth here below Till songbirds in the trees Open folded wings Like petals rising up on the breeze
The slowly rising day Parts from the muted night Awakening life itself from innocent dreams Emerging softened light Shrouded in the mist Holds a sun that warms, invites and heals
Kiss the rain before the moment fades.
COULD THIS BE
Can I still hear the silence when I’m asleep at night? Do I notice everything when nothing is in sight? In my dreams do I watch without ever really seeing? Can love make me invisible to every other feeling?
Void of all emotion climbed the stairways of my heart Choosing to reflect on a life that somehow meant to start Revealing all of the secrets that belong inside my head When I always meant to walk away from where I dared to tread
Still I see your eyes each time that I close mine I can’t see a sunset without seeing your face in my mind I’m losing all the loneliness that made me feel I wasn’t enough Could this be how two hearts know that they’re in love?
Do I lose all sense and reason when I focus on a single face? Crashing down defences keep my plans away from every place Walking away from thoughts that block my vision of the future Daring to believe it’s right to take my dreams much further.
Though shadows follow closely behind my every step I’m destined for the feelings that control the thoughts inside my head So I take careful steps to walk on solid ground not sand Looking for the reasons to reach out and take an empty hand.
Still I see your eyes each time that I close mine I can’t see a sunset without seeing your face in my mind I’m losing all the loneliness that made me feel I wasn’t enough Could this be how two hearts know that they’re in love?
Longing for acceptance in every step that I may take Trying to make sure that if I bend I’ll never have to break Emerging from the comfort of the days that went before Reaching out for what’s behind both sealed and open doors.
Still I see your eyes each time that I close mine I can’t see a sunset without seeing your face in my mind I’m losing all the loneliness that made me feel I wasn’t enough Could this be how two hearts know that they’re in love? |
