Live Once

Have you ever heard the wind in your soul,
When it was taking you places?
Have you listened to the wind playing its role
In breaking you outta your cages.
Have you ever slid down a rainbow,
When you were trying to find the pot of gold?
Or did you merely follow
With a gold clothed blindfold?
Have you ever swum with the setting sun
Waving at the clouds a smiling goodbye
Or were you busy saving yourself from your burden
Will you live just once before you die.

Tell me baby, won’t you live just once?
Chop at your chains and untie
Scream once to break the deafening silence
Won’t you just live once before you die.

Have you ever tried to catch the rays of the moon,
When it was shining from afar?
Have you tried to scoop them up with a spoon,
To use them as strings for your guitar?
Have you ever listened to a butterfly,
Sharing with her, her secrets?
Or did you merely run after and try
To catch and cage her in baskets?
Have you ever, ever tried to live
Putting all your thoughts on standby
Not take but just give
Will you, just once before you die.

Tell me baby, won’t you live just once?
Chop at your chains and untie
Scream once to break the deafening silence
Won’t you just live once before you die.

An angel's death

The angel spins around
dancing beneath the moon
crying her pretty eyes out
trying to cry them dry
she's sick of feeling pain
sick of pouring out the rain
Done with life,
Can an angel die?

She wonders silently
is it possible to close her eyes
and sleep in blissful misery
free to choose her own way
uncaged, unfurled, she will fly free
but its not her way
to leave you alone
at least not today
she dances in a meadow
the moon shining down
she thinks of you
and her tears fall free
why can't you love me?
What do you search for?
Will you find it?

She spins around and around
here beneath the half-moon
pouring her soul out through half-closed eyes, half-open heart
Sick of all this pain
Sick of crying in the rain
Will an angel die tonight?
