Look like my brother He look just like Francis in five years Watching each other Pick up the phone make the silence disappear Do we really want the same things Love me, love me love all of the time Do we really want the same things Tell the same old story one more time In the middle of the perfect day my mind it starts to wander And I find myself compelled to say that We all come form here That’s not my brother No one knows me around here Watching each other Pick up the phone make the silence disappear Do we really want the same things Love me, love me love all of the time Do we really want the same things Tell the same old story one more time In the middle of the perfect day my mind it starts to wander And I find myself compelled to say that We all come form here Do you really hear do you really care do you really know what I mean when I say no I tell you I don’t think so…

Destiny 03:49
Destiny you just lead me along Cross a bridge like a bridge in a sad sad song Destiny don’t lie but I cry for the things I don’t see on my horizon Destiny what you doing to me When I feel alone and I think my days are numbered And I ask myself, is this all I want Are you calling me Oh Destiny I’m twisted up inside You took me on a detour so long and hard make me want to run and hide I don’t want you In my business I see jokers on the witness stand what is this Like my father I’ll work harder to be stronger Than the sorry self that I don’t understand There’s a master plan I’ll follow you all the way to China All the way to China Destiny take my hand You’re running much too fast but I’ll keep up And do the best I can

Try to Fly 04:33
I live in a box of my own design I and I alone would be hard pressed to tell you why Twenty three years and counting, teaching on the front line I got laid off this summer, my first time on the line (What am I going to do) I better pull myself together Try to live my life more carefully If by chance I survive the crash n crisis Hope there is a better life for me Wish I had someone, that I could blame and play the blame game One reckless instant might blow it all (What am I going to do) I better pull myself together Try to live my life more carefully If by chance I survive the crash n crisis Hope there is a better life for me Anelise closed her eyes Took her hands off of the wheel, tried not to die When the police finally arrived They shook their heads and said it’s a wonder she survived Ann Elise close your eyes Take your hands of the wheel and try to fly As your whole life goes flashing by Spinout on the road and you realize Well I I better pull myself together Try to live my life more carefully If by chance I do survive the crash n crisis Hope there’s a better life for me Ann elise close your eyes Take your hands off of the wheel and try to fly When the police finally arrived They shook their heads said it’s a wonder you survived I want to live- I don’t want to die

Do You Love 03:50
How do you sleep with a hole in your heart The rain coming in and the cries in the dark I simply need to know Do you love How do you live with scars on your sould The words and the deeds that you bring to the world I simply need to know Do you love Look at the world See the harm that you’ve done I can begin to forgive If you tell me that you love Just love

Who takes the strikes in life Wearing the superman tights Learning the moon never rises but falls Some of the writing is nice Some of the soul searching showed me the way A way to follow you When all the hot pursuit Has only landed me in harms way As you wave The sunlight is blinding And blind I wander through time Never in question Never in doubt The words on my lips I can’t quite get out Your skies were so incredible The romance of Grand Anse I fell inside our history that day As you wave The sunlight is blinding And blind I wander through time Me and my ancestors are not well known And so the story goes As you wave The sunlight is blinding Girls in the alley were born to sail away Me and my ancestors are not well known And so the story goes

Beautiful 06:47
If I were to try to tell you the reasons why I think you’re beautiful, beautiful. Would you roll your eyes and walk away And tell me not to say things like that. So I must ask why, Under a starry sky, Don’t you feel beautiful, beautiful Beautiful as this night, beautiful because Ageless is beauty that whispers and follows the songs that the heart, like a madman, assembles sometimes My, once in awhile, my darkness subsides and then I realize That it is beautiful, beautiful to be by your side while Venus lights the velvet sky It’s your time of year So, darling take care, treasure your blue(s), and all that you’re meant to do And you’ll feel beautiful, so beautiful, (Modulation) Beautiful as this night, beautiful because Ageless is beauty that whispers and follows the songs that the heart, like a madman, assembles Beauty is ageless it’s you she resembles and leaves me believing that beautiful is all that you do.

Sorry 03:58
I am sorry that sorry doesn’t mean much anymore I am sorry that sorry doesn’t mean much anymore I am sorry that sorry is what a woman needs to say Feels like I say it forty times a day And I am that sorry doesn’t mean much anymore Woh is mother when the baby does her thing Go on daddy when the music starts to swing Ain’t no world for the faint of heart Guess I knew this from the start So I’m sorry the hard times seem to pull us apart Down on the island there’s bar they call the Baz Down On The Island they call what I do jazz Sorry so sorry that I can’t pick a lane Play my solo and forget my pain And I’m sorry that sorry just won’t stop the rain

Interlude 01:09
9.
Love comes tumbling down And I think about you baby before my feet hit the ground And there’s nothing I can say to make believe that I’m not blown away Love comes tumbling down And I miss the way you look when I’m leaving town And I told myself before I just can’t stay Something’s changed I have changed Rearranged and my world is not the same I have changed Rearranged My world is not the same… Love has turned me around And it comes in stages lost and found And I thought that I was done but now I see I’ve just begun – I have changed Rearranged And with love There’s only love to gain

Goodbye my sunny friend it’s just goodbye not the end Children grow roosters crow I’ll be back again I hope in the year you get to go to places dear And I’ll return to see how it’s gone So goodbye, goodbye my sunny friend I live so many miles away from where we met I dreamed in teal and green and to the ocean I went So goodbye, goodbye my sunny friend Goodbye…

One day I told myself I would Do everything I thought I should Good for you and good for me What happened next I really did not see One day I bought myself a book I told myself I ‘d learn to cook Cook for you and cook for me What happened next I really did not see. Little witch come to my lips Said I should make a go of it One day I told myself I would Do everything I thought I should Good for you and good for me What happened next I really did not see One day the rumors were all true and who’s ashamed to be with who (whom) Good for you and good for me What happened is we really don’t agree Little witch come to my lips said I should make a go of it One day the rumors were all true Now who’s ashamed to be with who (whom) Good for you and good for me What happened next I really did not see Little witch come to my lips Said I must make a go of it

about

The album Destiny is simply my awakening. Moving away from outmoded ideas, I accepted that life and people are not particularly logical, in fact they are more often illogical. Once I truly accepted that in my heart, the songs wrote themselves. When I thought I was done, one more song emerged with a lyric that wound up summarizing everything else. That song is a Live Bonus track called One Day: Good for you and good for me, what happened next I really didn’t see.
