A new song lyric

I am trying to get myself motivated and going again.  Here is a little lyric idea that I've been toying with as I hunt for my new inspiration.

Each Night I go to bed, I try and close my eyes
Wide awake, I count the stars up in the skies
Miles away, you don't realize
In the silence, no one hears my cries

I will post the revised lyrics once I get them complete.

It Is What It Is

Another bit of lyric writing as my inspiration keeps going

It is what it is, I know, I can't change it
It is what it is, I know, I can't escape it
It is what it is, please help me understand it
It is what it is.....

Why must we accept that which must be
They never gave us a choice, can't you see
With a prayer, I'll fight for could be
But only in my dreams shall it be .....

New Inspiration

Well I've recently had a new batch of inspiration and that started to inspire some new music ideas...

In another place
In another lifetime
what might have been we'll never know .....

it could be right
it might be wrong
what might have been we'll never know .....

we watch the world, move a round us
we see the time, just pass us by

I make a wish
I say a prayer
but we know what can not be .....

we watch the world, move a round us
we see the time, just pass us by

all I know
and I want to say
what might have been we'll never know .....

we watch the world, move a round us
we see the time, just pass us by

it's not complete, nor is it polished but it's getting me back online.

The Painted Family

From my youth, I start to recall a song we learned in grade 2 or 3, don't exactly remember

"I ride an old paint, I lead an old dan
I'm going to Montan' to throw the hollihan…"

Song Lyrics

I'm pulling these out of the vault, the person they were originally meant for has long since left my life, so I'll put 'em here and see if they re-inspire me to get them refined.

I close my eyes and I can see
the love of an angel
watching over me

I close my eyes and I can hear
the voice of an angel
whisper in my ear

I close my eyes and I can feel
the love of and angel
a love that is real

I close my eyes and thought it was a dream
what I thought was a angel
was something more it seams

I close my eyes never again
I don't need the angel
cause we're walking hand-in-hand

I open my eyes and look with a smile
the love of my life
has been here for awhile

Music Carrying Me Down Memory Lane

For quite awhile the lyrics for a song have been haunting my mind "Stars the glisten, lips for kissin' honey listen it's true".  I always knew it was from the Rex Smith movie "Sooner or Later", which most people can remember the song "You take my breath away".  For the life of me I couldn't remember the other song.  Finally I decided to google it and found it...."Simply Jesse".

Ya, some days I'll get the drively ballads pumpin' through my brain, please give me some insulin, but some days I like 'em.

I can tell you the story of my life via ballads.  Or if I hear a ballad, I can recount many more memories of yesteryear.  Another set of keys to unlock my mind.  Now to go flush my brain with some Yngwie Malmsteen, or Metallica, possibly some Brecker Brothers, and follow it up with a nice dose of my fave, Frank Zappa or possibly some David Bowie.
