Every night I say a prayer in the hope that there's a heaven
And every day I'm more confused as the saints turn into sinners
All the heroes and legends I knew as a child have fallen to idols of clay
And I feel this empty place inside so afraid that I've lost my faith
Show me the way, show me the way
Take me tonight to the river
And wash my illusions away
Show me the way
And as I slowly drift to sleep, for a moment dreams are sacred
I close my eyes and know there's peace in a world so filled with hatred
That I wake up each morning and turn on the news to find we've so far to go
And I keep on hoping for a sign, so afraid that I just won't know
Show me the way, Show me the way
Take me tonight to the mountain
And wash my confusion away
And if I feel light, should I believe
Tell me how will I know
Show me the way, show me the way
Take me tonight to the river
And wash my illusions away
Show me the way, show me the way
Give me the strength and the courage
To believe that I'll get there someday
Show me the way
Every night I say a prayer
In the hope that there's a heaven...

'twas just a dream....
his words drip with disinterest
and the truth is revealed
as he fails to look her in the eyes
no questions left to ponder
as all uncertainty is gone
he wants to have it all his way...
the poison of his self-centeredness
has chipped away her desire
to follow through with acquiescence
in hopes of something more
the apparation reveals the truth
in the day light of her mind
'twas just a dream of a lonesome heart
and now it's time to say good bye
Savor
it is time....
to flee from reality
bask in the blur of dim candle light
camp out on the living room floor
with soft blankets and big, fluffy pillows
throw in some ice cream and chocolate
while pondering idealologies - old and new
slip into the fantasy of a great movie
and trail off to slumber to the great voices
and wondrous minds of cinematography
of long, long ago...

Tower
I pause and reflect
upon the mosaic of my existence
recollecting scattered thoughts
as the ill mood of irritability
blows away like a dandelion
in the ferocity of a powerful wind
I allow realization to surface
and readjust my frame of mind to
accept that the fire within is deep
it is wild - it is fierce
it may dwindle but
only for so long as it takes
to revel, recharge, and reassess
for it fuels long lost dreams
and ignites passion owned by
my courage and desire to
confront the unknown
as the myriad of feelings
both unwanted and undesirable
work cohesively to draw the shades upon
my world as I know it and jade
my view of hope and serenity
though they stand powerless
against the omnipotent tower within
