So I’m emotional over those things I can’t control,
take to heart what I cannot hold.
I’m still curious of those things my life has sold,
I put in perspective what’s new and whats old.
Tell Me
by higman
tell me that it matters
tell me that it does
when your flyin with the eagles
or hiding with the doves
they’re stories that are many
they’re stories that are few
they’re stories with no ending
and stories never knew
tell me that it matters
tell me that it does
when your flyin with the eagles
or hiding with the doves
i hear sounds in the darkness
i hear sounds in the sun
loud are the sounds of a choir
loud is the sound of the silent one
tell me that it matters
tell me that it does
when your flyin with the eagles
or hiding with the doves
should I buy the sunrise
or a view no one feels
mind games are forever
where homes are never real
tell me that it matters
tell me that it does
when your flyin with the eagles
or hiding with the doves
rounded is the truth of many
blinded are ones that see
when did lonliness slap the world around us
when friends became words on a screen
tell me that it matters
tell me that it does
when your flyin with the eagles
or hiding with the doves
while I was away
by higman
you made the grade
you raised the bar
of what to meant to be free
you said you took a chance
and damned if it wasn’t to be
while I was away
you saw a different light
and showed it to us all
the bird flew from its cage
and flew free in the sun
while i was away
just when i thought being here
was as close as being there
just when a voice was a call some days
funny how lives work in the short and long
how did i miss all this
while i was away
you were the first to call
keeping us all in mind
but no amount of time
could ever change
whats inside us all
while i was away
now its more than just a reflection in a mirror on a bathroom wall with all the see, hear, and speak no evil did grace really come to call
while I was away
Oh The Pain
by higman
I’m in the dark
In the light
I’m incognito in plain sight
Silent I am
Calm as a lamb
As long as I keep to myself
I should last another night
It’s like walking through a forest
where the trees have no names
during all the colors of fall
While we all focus on the mundane
and the powers miss the call
Oh the pain
More than a mother with a newborn
Never knowing what tomorrow brings
Oh the pain
Expecting difference doing over the same thing
Oh the pain
How the dreamer sits on the shore
looking up into the sky
Knowing those that could do something
let the chance just go on by
Oh the pain
We all have our differences
but we live the same way
One voice on one planet
Knowing there will come a day
When our should have would have could haves were times we never lacked
and it’s too late to have each other’s back
Have we got there
I don’t know
But I sure would like to show
There’s no time like the present to stop pointing fingers
Every second ticks away
to where where a silence will forever linger
because we refused to work together for just one day
Oh the pain
Never knowing what tomorrow brings
Oh the pain
Expecting difference doing over the same thing
Oh the pain
How the dreamer sits on the shore
looking up into the sky
Knowing those that could do something
let the chance just go on by
Oh the pain
Oh the pain
Songs
by higman
Songs
running through my head
they’re just songs telling stories of the lives
of everyday people
daughters, husbands & wives
With the eyes to see
what lives and breathes
what loves and cries
about what’s good and wrong the words I say to you
just come out as songs
Again
by higman
It’s just one of times
Again
When the day is as long as the time I’ve been away
I tried to focus but the Blues seem to stay
I can’t stop thinking about home
Again
You can’t go away for a very long time
You can lose your sense, lose your mind
But you never forget your way back home
Again
When even the weather doesn’t
mean too much
I’ve learned that the only way to take life’s punch
No matter where I roam
I won’t stop thinking about home
Again
I just can’t rest
Til I’m home
Again
