Hey Every One.
May I join? Albeit late for the party?
As I read these....and flashed back to many moments in my life gone by....especially those by Pink Floyd
....I found my head humming with songs that inspire me when I feel tossed around by the waves of lifes' happenings.
May I share?
I had to LOL that they are all....at least today, by Kansas.
Kansas was big in my life at a pivotal time....I imagine that is why I can still pull them out of my heart at times...no matter what else is going on....I can hum them to myself and still know the lyrics after all these years....30 some odd
(yes ODD) years later.
Oh my.....30 years......
wow....where did the time go?????????
Questions of my childhood.When the sun is in the mid sky,
he wears a golden crown.
And he soaks the world with sunshine
as he makes another round.
It's been a faster year than yesterday
all the things that I had planned.
And when I think I might be gaining
I'm in the sunshine once again.
Well I walk the road of life
among the strong among the weak.
And I ask them for the shortcut to the answers that I seek
But no one seems to understand
what is or what will be
Oh the questions of my childhood
weave a web of mystery.
Just a web of mystery.
Can you get me through these changes?
Well I sure don't know about life
but one things for sure
All I need is you babe
We'll find the golden key to unlock the door.
I don't want to face a world of disolution.
I've come to one conclusion
that I know you know is true.
In the game of silent searching
the cost of love is rising,
and I'm just now realizing I'd be better off with you.
It's a game that I've been living now
I need to know whats real.
Can you help me find the answers?
Can you tell the way I feel?
Will you stay with me forever?
Or just stay with me tonight?
And we can talk about tomorrow
if it all works out all right.
Yes...if it all works out all right.
Miracles out of nowhereOn a crystal morning
I can see the dewdrops falling
Down from gleaming heaven
I can hear the voices call
"When you coming home now son, the world is not for you?"
Tell me, whats your point of view?
Hey there, Mr. Madman
what you know that I don't know?
Tell me some crazy stories
let me know who runs the show
Glassy eyed and laughing
he turns and walks away
Tell me, what made you that way?
Here I am, just waiting for a sign
asking questions
learning all the time
It's always here
It's always there
It's just love
and miracles out of nowhere
Tell me now Dear Mother,
whats it like to be so old?
Children grown and leaving
seems the world is growing cold
And though your body's ailing you
your mind is just like new
Tell me where you're going to?
It's so simple
right before your eyes
If you'll only look through this disguise
It's always here
It's always there
It's just love
and miracles out of nowhere
I sang this song
maybe a thousand years ago
no one ever listens
I just play
and then I go
Off into the sunset
like the western heros do
tell me, what you gonna do?
Here I am, I'm sure to see a sign
All my life, I knew that it was mine
It's always here
It's always there
It's just love
and miracles out of nowhere.
The WallI'm woven in a fantasy
I can't believe the things I see
The path that I have chosen now has led me to a wall
and with each passing day
I feel a little more like something dear was lost
It rises now before me
a dark and silent barrier between
all I am
and all that I would ever want to be.
It's just a travesty
towering
marking off the boundaries my spirit
would erase
To pass beyond is what I seek
I fear that I may be too weak
and those of you
who see it though to glimpse the other side
The promised land is waiting
like a maiden that is soon to be bride
The moment is a masterpiece
the weight of indecision's in the air
standing there
the symbol and sum of all thats me
It's just a travesty
towering
blocking out the light and blinding me
I want to see!
Gold and diamonds cast a spell
it's not for me
I know it well
The treasures that I seek
are waiting on the other side
There's more than I can measure
in the treasure of the love that I can find
And though it's always been with me
I must tear down the wall
and let it be
All I am,
and all that I would ever want to be
in Harmony
Shining true
and smiling back at all who wait to cross.
there is no loss.
Kansas...from "Left Overture"
Thanks for letting me get these off my chest.

In any case, props to Pink Floyd's keyboard man. Thanks for the music.
