Dear One, the world is waiting for the sunrise. Every rose is covered with dew. The thrush on high his sleepy mate is calling, And my heart is calling you.  Dear Heart, the world is waiting for the sunrise! Every little rosebud is heavy with dew! And while the thrush his sleepy mate is calling,... Read More

Hello, darkness, my old friend I’ve come to talk with you again Because a vision softly creeping Left its seeds while I was sleeping And the vision that was planted in my brain Still remains Within the sound of silence In restless dreams, I walked alone Narrow streets of cobblestone ‘Neath the halo of a...

What’s it all about, Alfie? Is it just for the moment we live? What’s it all about when you sort it out, Alfie? Are we meant to take more than we give? Or are we meant to be kind?And if only fools are kind, Alfie, Then I guess it is wise to be cruel. And... Read More

Somewhere over the rainbow, Way up high, There’s a land that I heard of Once in a lullaby. Somewhere over the rainbow, Skies are blue, And the dreams that you dare to dream Really do come true.

Whether I’m right, or whether I’m wrong, Whether I find a place in this world or never belong, I gotta be me, I’ve gotta be me! What else can I be but what I am?  I want to live, not merely survive. And I won’t give up this dream of life that keeps me alive.... Read More

Abide with me: fast falls the eventide; the darkness deepens; Lord, with me abide. When other helpers fail, and comforts flee, Help of the helpless, O abide with me. Swift to its close ebbs out life’s little day; Earth’s joys grow dim, its glories pass away. Change and decay in all around I see. O... Read More

Morning has broken like the first morning. Blackbird has spoken like the first bird. Praise for the singing, Praise for the morning, Praise for them springing fresh from the world. Sweet the rain’s new fall, sunlit from heaven. Like the first dewfall on the first grass. Praise for the sweetness of the wet garden Sprung... Read More
