From Bird's Dream
Birds Dream
Birds dream, birds dream (repeat)
And they dream so far from home
They dream so far from home, they haven't had
The runaround out of home
Birds dream, birds dream
They dream so far from home (repeat)
Their home
Birds dream, birds dream
A New song (2018)
We will have tiny blossoms in the summer and the winter
Though we never find a place where they could grow
When a flow'r shows its face like a sister or a brother
We will always find a place, a happy home
Not just cultivator's powers give us those tiny flowers
They can grow in wild places all alone
It's a simple little method, if we knew if we would follow
We could wander daily, never feel alone
etc.
Another new song (2019)
A soothing glass of milk, will help you rest your mind
A soothing glass, at all repasts, along at Christmastime
The times we have forgot, lays curdled in the wine
Let's sing those songs, and fah-lo psalms
Of past, and Christmastime
A soothing glass, at all repasts (all long at Christmastime)
The wrath is past (of all repasts) Now turn'd as on a dime
So take this glass of mine, there's one for you as well
Forgiveness come to you at last, although I'll never tell
A soothing glass, forget the past, and long for Christmastime.

A Tiny Rose
My father was a thinker
And he thought the most of me
He said I'd have a heliopad
And access to the sea
He said, "it's good, look/ For the book
I know you'll have inside"
And when he said these things to me
My mother, she would cry
Chorus "A tiny rose, is all she needs to be
A tiny rose, no further than that seems
Stiff icing rose, you might think that that means
A tiny rose, is all she needs to be"
My father was a dreamer and he dreamt the most for me
He never told me that in life there are no guarantees
He said, "there's no free lunch, but I've a hunch that you'll go far"
My mother acted like he'd made
A wish upon a star
Chorus "A tiny rose, is all she needs to be
A tiny rose, no further than that seems
Stiff icing rose, you might think that that means
A tiny rose, is all she needs to be"
My father saw my pain and strife and sadness found in life
He told me, "don't you go alone"/ I said, "I can't reply"
Before the day I found true love, he said he must depart
I wish he'd known I'd finally grown a blesséd mortal heart
Chorus A tiny rose, is all you need to be
A tiny rose, no further than that seems
Stiff icing rose, you might think that that means
A tiny rose, is all you need to be

from Colors That Shine
Colors That Shine
When it's a warm kind of day, I can't say the things
I mean to say
I mean to say things that fit maybe with a rainy day
The sidewalk wet when we walk on it, city lights up there
Just coloring on the pavement, no omens in the air
Oh, I just want the reflection (repeat)
Oh, don't say merci, don't say arrivederci
And if you touch me, I might leave too
I've got bright colors that shine
A deep bright color, that's mine
I don't have to go anywhere I don't want to
I've got bright colors that shine
I feel bright colors that shine
I don't know why this time
I don't know why I'm heading up to the sky
But I feel bright colors that shine
"Someday I'll put my own colors in the sky"
I used to say that to myself while time went rushing by
"And then I will go back to him, and we could make it real"
But now there's something new, this way that I feel
I've got bright colors that shine
I think it's because you're mine
Love's caught me unaware, now I'm walking on air
I've got bright colors that shine
Through Stones
It's true that we have to make our way
Through stones
It's true that we have to make our way
Through stones
Chorus Through stones, we will have our say
We'll make another day, we'll make our way
Through stones
I knew I would sometimes feel alone
But I did not feel under my feet
The true stones
A vale of tears walked I, through which a world
I could not circumscribe
The path on which I walked and made my marks
They weren't writ in stone, but written in the dark
A past that I knew not why, it slowed my way
It made it rough and shady each day
And then one day, a thought came to my mind
A clear white air
That breached the sky
And then I could feel my feet, I knew I'd walked
Through stones
Chorus Through stones we will find our way
We'll have our say, we'll make a better day
Through stones
