The Secret
There ain’t no secret to livin’
There’s always a time and place
So just keep on believin’
And you’ll find a hiding space.
There ain’t no secret to hidin’
Just keep outta sight
Keep on living life and playin’
Somewhere love is alight.
In the shadows, there ain’t no secret
That ain’t where we belong
Buried in the darkness
Is where we leave our wrongs.
There ain’t no secret to dyin’
Let your mind go adrift
The hearts that broke in the night
Become the healing gift.
Midnight Ride
Ridin’ on the midnight
There ain’t nowhere to go
I got one more silver dollar
And I’m prayin for a cup of joe.
Ridin’ toward the midnight
Earthly things keeping me bound
Heavens across the ether
Behind the stars, it’ll be found.
Ridin’ amidst the midnight
When darkness swallers the sun
The angels sing a lullaby
And midnight begins to run.
Ridin’ after the midnight
The giants beat their gong
They dance and stomp the thunder
They revel in golden songs.
Ridin’ in the midnight
She’s dancing across the stars
Her raven hair, her sweet red lips
Saved me from running too far.
You
You are the glory and power
That helps my soul to shine
Your love and presence ensure my scarred self
That now, all will be just fine.
You are my morning sun
The promise of each new day’s fun
You are my unending treasure
A cornucopia of love’s endless pleasure.
You are my gentle, cleansing rain
Love’s perfected passion
You are my song with bubbly laughter
That washes away life’s ugly stain.
You are the perfumed essence
Of my unblemished dreams
Always faithful, always present
You root my self-esteem.
