Returning on a jet plane...
(Paul Harvey used to give "...the rest of the story" on the radio. The same radio played songs that gave us a glimpse into song character's lives but are never revisited! Even worse when the singer dies! I hated that! One of the songs I always felt needed an ending was...John Denver's: "Leaving on a jet plane." So, I present...Returning on a jet plane. Dedicated to the late John Denver.
--‐------------------
Packed my bags again...
I'm finally coming home...
I sang the songs they wanted...
'til...I felt so all alone...

Rewriting My Story (revised)
Mmmm, mmmm
I’m leaving my past and what became of me
I’m chasing the light and what’s calling me
Watch me
Mmmm
I’m turning the page and rewriting my story
Mmmm
A new dawn breaks, my skies are clear
I’m wiping my tears with my fear
Step by step I’m moving on
Old days fade I’m moving on
Mmmm, mmmm
I’m turning the page and rewriting my story
I’m breaking chains, there’s no more ties to pain
Every choice, every stride
No more living in shadows, no more reason to hide
Spreading...

The Punisher
He carries scars where his heart weeps
Keeper of secrets and lies
He justifies the destruction of his dreams
Believing his decisions ended his tomorrows
Pain creased on his brow
Chasing stillness, needing a quiet sigh
While life quietly passes by
His storms raging beneath the surface never end
Living life as if he desires the end
The gate to his soul kept tightly closed
Thinking nobody else knows ...
Keeper of secrets and lies
He justifies the destruction of his dreams
Believing his decisions ended his tomorrows
Pain creased on his brow
Chasing stillness, needing a quiet sigh
While life quietly passes by
His storms raging beneath the surface never end
Living life as if he desires the end
The gate to his soul kept tightly closed
Thinking nobody else knows ...

Life Moves On
I remember a day
So very long ago
When I'd play in the garden
Chasing ladybugs in summer
There was beauty in the simplicity
The sunny days of 2000-something
When age was a single number
And I was still in one piece
This world will change you
It'll darken your innocent soul
Draining your heart
As things fall apart
We'd all love to stay in those good old days
But life moves on
Do you remember
So very long ago
When we could play make-believe
Our imagination limitless
It's funny...
So very long ago
When I'd play in the garden
Chasing ladybugs in summer
There was beauty in the simplicity
The sunny days of 2000-something
When age was a single number
And I was still in one piece
This world will change you
It'll darken your innocent soul
Draining your heart
As things fall apart
We'd all love to stay in those good old days
But life moves on
Do you remember
So very long ago
When we could play make-believe
Our imagination limitless
It's funny...

Rise Again
Tangled in the chaos that was my mind
Dark clouds overhead stole my shine
Ooh
Lost in shadows long before I was reborn
I’m rebuilding my life with every new dawn
I’ve stumbled and tumbled through valleys of doubt
For decades I had silent screams I longed to shout
Strength I never knew reached deep within
Here I stand ready to rise again
Ooh
Hope flickers like twilight
My broken pieces are coming back to life
Ooh
Let the sunlight heal my wounds
Today I’m singing a new tune
I’ve stumbled and tumbled...
Dark clouds overhead stole my shine
Ooh
Lost in shadows long before I was reborn
I’m rebuilding my life with every new dawn
I’ve stumbled and tumbled through valleys of doubt
For decades I had silent screams I longed to shout
Strength I never knew reached deep within
Here I stand ready to rise again
Ooh
Hope flickers like twilight
My broken pieces are coming back to life
Ooh
Let the sunlight heal my wounds
Today I’m singing a new tune
I’ve stumbled and tumbled...

The Rising Sun
The rising sun
Whispers of a slow and steady defeat
Shadows crept on my lonely street
But as the dawn begins to creep
A promise stirs beneath my feet
Mmmmm
Darkness fading as a new day awakes
(a new day awakes)
Hope finds the fear it breaks
In strength my heart is unchained
No more sorrow, no more pain
No more pain
Mmmmm
No more pain
Mmmmm
My nights were long and filled with doubt
How many echoes screamed, I lost count
Morning light has shown my pain a new route ...
Whispers of a slow and steady defeat
Shadows crept on my lonely street
But as the dawn begins to creep
A promise stirs beneath my feet
Mmmmm
Darkness fading as a new day awakes
(a new day awakes)
Hope finds the fear it breaks
In strength my heart is unchained
No more sorrow, no more pain
No more pain
Mmmmm
No more pain
Mmmmm
My nights were long and filled with doubt
How many echoes screamed, I lost count
Morning light has shown my pain a new route ...

Sketch lines
I know we are young
I know we have no idea where we’ll end up
We’re just finding our way
We won’t stay the same
and I don’t want to
neither do you
I am hiding in the minutes, the seconds
that I get to kiss you
Some day will come, when we break up
and I have to miss you
Cause we’ll fight, come undone
Too many bullets in our guns
To stay safe
To stay this way
We are just sketching out the lines
Too much still undefined
So hold me tighter
Than you’ve ever done before
Let’s come closer ...
I know we have no idea where we’ll end up
We’re just finding our way
We won’t stay the same
and I don’t want to
neither do you
I am hiding in the minutes, the seconds

Some day will come, when we break up
and I have to miss you
Cause we’ll fight, come undone
Too many bullets in our guns
To stay safe
To stay this way
We are just sketching out the lines
Too much still undefined
So hold me tighter
Than you’ve ever done before
Let’s come closer ...

I remember how yesterday you were beautiful,
dressed in white, I burned with love for you.
The mornings are cruel when the dawn breaks,
next to you you have an empty bed.
You think you are perhaps the last,
but you don't give up.
It's raining, trickles down the window,
a nice rain has started outside.
All that's left are memories.

Inside Roare
LEON
Even if I had to break a rock with my fist,
feel how the blood foams in my veins.
Raise my sword, for your glory,
I will gladly go.
Fight like a lion.
Armor, stained with blood,
just a few pages of old parchment.
It tells who went to fight, not for glory.
He went for love, no one will know.
Like a lion, he went to protect your honor.
Like a lion, so that he could kiss your hand.
Like a lion, he went after the dream he loved,
so that he could touch you and say, I won.
Even if I...

Offering Myself To You
You can have me begging
And nasty on my knees
But not tonight, baby
Tonight I’m gonna be
The gift you give yourself
When no one’s watching
When shadows pirouette
And marionettes sacrifice their strings
I’m the peace love brings
Mmmmm
Lips searching, our bodies entwined
My fingers trace your skin, making crazy designs
The world outside our window is burning and crashing
But nothing ever felt so right
And here
On this apocalyptic night
I give myself to...
And nasty on my knees
But not tonight, baby
Tonight I’m gonna be
The gift you give yourself
When no one’s watching
When shadows pirouette
And marionettes sacrifice their strings
I’m the peace love brings
Mmmmm
Lips searching, our bodies entwined
My fingers trace your skin, making crazy designs
The world outside our window is burning and crashing
But nothing ever felt so right
And here
On this apocalyptic night
I give myself to...

To The Girl With Pretty Eyes
You had dreams
You thought you could be somethin’
But you never will
Undressed to thrill
Keep your smile
While all your dreams are killed
Mouth closed
Legs open
Now we're talkin’
Pretty eyes
Pretty face
Know your place
Forget your dreams
Things never change
What's on your mind don't count
What's in it don't matter much
You already broke the golden rule
Let them look but don't touch
Don't touch
Don't touch
Keep your mouth closed
Legs open
Now...
You thought you could be somethin’
But you never will
Undressed to thrill
Keep your smile
While all your dreams are killed
Mouth closed
Legs open
Now we're talkin’
Pretty eyes
Pretty face
Know your place
Forget your dreams
Things never change
What's on your mind don't count
What's in it don't matter much
You already broke the golden rule
Let them look but don't touch
Don't touch
Don't touch
Keep your mouth closed
Legs open
Now...
