Journey

Nothing has changed, except people I’ve seen.
I’m back again to where I used to be.
But standing here right now I feel so free.
To sum it all – what a journey I’ve had.
Through ups and downs, through the good and the bad…
And through all the struggles painful and sad.
The world’s slings and arrows that were in store
Fallen, battered, ignored, bruised and much more.
Arduous may this journey best be described.
But through it all I know I have survived.
Dear Mum and Dad, my heart longs to be true.
My long journey has come a full circle.
No need to run nor hide – I have grown strong.
For home is the place I truely belong.

Flight

Lonely is the seagull that flies the winds.
So majestic, soaring with gliding wings.
Then a single screech sounds from the blue sky.
Come fly with me will you? Come here and fly.
My lonely spirit floats to be a part
so still I feel the beating of its heart.
My soul combined, one with this bird of sea.
Now knows the true meaning to fly so free.
I feel the winds caress my battered soul.
And soar above the streams without a goal.
My own being trembles in pure delight.
A true treasure I have received tonight.
The seagull’s joyful flight of soaring high.
The priceless gift of what it means to fly.

Remember

Remember darling, I’m sorry to go.
Remember my dear, please forgive me so.
There are some things that I just cannot say.
As a man, there are things I need to do.
One day I hope you will then understand,
one day when the truth is out you may know
Sorry, really sorry…I have to go.
Shakespeare said “parting is such sweet sorrow”
And as I sing for you my last love song
Pray do not cry – you are not in the wrong.
And as I give you your last goodnight kiss
Recall those happy times we spent in bliss.
Just for you to remember, remember…
That I will continue to love you dear.

I Am A Star

Imagine fans screaming out in delight…
Imagine the carpets and flashing lights…
Imagine my bright smile and teeth so white…
Because truely a star is born tonight.
Call it beauty, magic or fantasy,
it matters not as it’s all glittery.
Oh yes, I know I am a star tonight.
Seeing the red carpet before me wait
Signing countless autographs till dawn breaks
Singing sweet touching melodies till late.
Talent that I must never put to waste.
So grand, elegant, the best – that’s my way.
Come on my fans, hear what I have to say.
There is no doubt I am your star today.
