I am the hand
I am your army
Your renegade band
I am the hand
At your command
I’ve got the key
And the fire inside
Climb aboard my ship
Let me take you for a ride
On a ride so far away
Where lovers dance and dreamers play
Back To the garden to the day
When the serpent whispered
No need to pray
I’m your slave
Your fool on the throne
I count the minutes
Till were alone
I am the power
I am the man
I am the hand
At your command

I fell all the way down
It seems so unreal that you can feel
That you’re not to blame
I feel like a fool you took me to school
I feel for your games
I don’t think I’ll ever trust again
I’m so burnt
Please send an ambulance
I fell all the way
I fell all the way
How can I heal and take control?
How can I love when you’ve stolen my soul?
I don’t know if I can shake
How can I save face?
I fell all the way
I’m shattered in disgrace
I fell all the way
The ghost of your past
control your every thought
It took me some time
but I connected the dots
Your one-sided lies
Took me by surprise
I had no choice but to compromise
I’ve seen it all thanks to you
I now know there’s nothing you won’t do
I fell all the way
I fell all the way down
MWL 1995
Grit
You grit your teeth
A little more everyday
You let the little things get in the way
You say there’s not enough hours in a day
It’s always work then sleep then work again
There’s no time for relaxing and play
Trapped like a rat
Running on a wheel
Life is to short
I need a new deal
I got to break the cycle
Brake out of these chains
Before I go Bezek
and lose my brain
You were sold a bad bill of goods
The does the don’t the maybes I could
Its been the same story since the beginning of the buck
If you don’t have enough your gonna be out of luck
Momma tried to tell you son
Arm yourself with knowledge you don’t need a gun
Dreamer’s never prosper, it’s all make believe
Get your hands dirty is all you ever need
It’s been the same story since the beginning of the buck
If you don’t have enough your gonna be out of luck
Momma tried to tell you son
Arm yourself with knowledge you don’t need a gun
Dreamer’s never prosper, it’s all make believe
Get your hands dirty is all you ever need

God Dam me
God dam me for all I’ve done
God dam me for all I’ve let go bye
God dam me for looking the other way
God dam me for finding excuses not to pray
God dam
God dam
God dam Me
This little lost sheep
Strayed to far from the flock
This soul has lost its way
Spun lies and slick talk
Save this man this wasted life
I pray
Be today my judgement day
Be to day my judgement day
God dam
God dam
God dam

Give me this day
Give me this day my daily dreed
And lead me not into oblivion
Till death do us part
Till death do us part
Till the hole in my heart is filled
Cauterize my gaping wound
The vultures are landing
The wolves are in tune
Gotta run gotta stay ahead
This army of terror
Surely wants me dead
Give me this hour to write my will
Ill make a list of everyone I want to kill
Just another minute before we go
No don’t draw the curtain before the end of the show
patronize me
Realize me
Do you even recognize me?
Sympathize with me
Till death do us…part
MWL 1993
Falling so slow
Alone in this room
I feel all the gloom
Like a boy’s lost balloon
a scene drowning in doom
I want to be a better man
I want to take the world by the hand
Have along talk and let everyone know
That I’ve fallen from grace
Falling so slow
The wind is swirling
Calling my name
I hear the voices
I know all the games
I want to go
Were my mind can run free
Away from the pressures that
Constantly haunt me
Find someone
And let them know
That I’ve fallen from grace
Falling so slow
I want to be a better man
I want to take the world by the hand
Have a long talk and let everyone know
That I’ve fallen from grace
Falling so slow
MWL 1992
Down so long
I’ve been down so long
I can’t see the sky
been many years since lite filled these eyes
no place to run no place to go
I’ve been down so long I thought you should no
I took a beating from your Cheating
my heart will never heal
I’ve lost all sensation
I don’t know what is real
when I caught you in bed along with my best friend
it was too much for me
it’s sent me around the bend
I went for my gun anger filled my soul
I put that bastard down
I put him in a hole
I went to trial the jury said I acted in haste
They gave no mercy
sent me up for life to let my soul waste
I can’t conform to the rules of the pen
so, I’m locked up in solitary again and again
today is Christmas so the guard’s say.
I get on my knees please god show me the way
And the way it is here
it’s a living hell
I have nothing left but my Pride it’s a living hell.
Life just isn’t worth living when there’s nothing left to lose
you just kill time
as time kills you
above the guard shack there is a clock
so, I count the minutes till they put me in a box
I’ve been down so long
I’ve been down so so long
I’m a down so long
I thought you should now….
MWL (93)
Dragging heels
I stand before you today
One man
One heart
One way
I hide in the shadows of doubt
Searching for my way out
I can’t seem to find the door
I’m making circles
My failures are my dragging heals
With the grooves I’ve dug
I’m spinning around and round
So, lost I can’t be found
Now I’m back where I began
On the child’s top spinning out of control
No hope no retreat
Just an endless circle never complete
Dragging heels and childish squeal’s
The onion peeled
MWL 8-15-97
Forgive Me
I am the father
I am the son
My little girls
Life’s has just begun
I face the blackness
I do stare
I sense a future
Filled with fear
I see a world
Of hate and despair
I search for light
But there’s so little here
My ears are open
My eyes are wide
My heart is pounding
To reach the other side
What will I tell you?
What can I do?
Will you forgive me
For helping make you
Ill give all the love
I have in my heart
I hold you close
when it’s cold and dark
I’ll always be there
every step of the way
You’re are my soul
You are my clay
And some day when I’m long gone
Look to the stars we once wished upon
I’ll send you star dust kisses from above
Wrapped in a bow of undying love.

For Molly
MY friend
The storm is over
The endless rain
I gained wisdom
From the pain
I’ve got a sunny day
The sky so blue
You my friend
Helped pull me through
Times were bad
The worst I’ve seen
I was living and dying
in a very bad dream
I was lost
Didn’t know what to do
Until you my friend
Helped pull me through
It’s nice to know
There’s someone which I can depend
I’m proud to call you
My dearest friend
If you need anything
Whatever it may be
Ill be there for you
Like you were there for me

Reach for the sky
Reach for the reason
The sun in your eyes
Your body’s tired
Reach for the sky
Can you still juggle
The morals of youth
Do you still hunger
For the ultimate truth
Reach for the sky
Reach for the sky
The tears that you cry
Are for dreams that have died
Reach for the sky
Reach for the sky
The tears that you cry
are for dreams that have died
I see the lines on your face keep on growing
Your eyes try to hide it but the pain is showing
You feel that your life you are just blowing
You fall short of your goals that you are sowing
You can’t give up give it another try
Keep your head up and reach for the sky
Reach for the power keep reaching high
Time heals all the scare’s just keep reaching high
Reach for the reason
The sun in your eyes
Your body’s tired
Reach for the sky
Can you still juggle
The morals of youth
Do you still hunger
For the ultimate truth
Reach for the sky
Reach for the sky
The tears that you cry
Are for dreams that have died
Reach for the sky
Reach for the sky
The tears that you cry
Are for dreams that have died MWL 1994
Renegade man
Should just gas up the bike and hit the road
Again, the fear of loves got me in a strangle hold
I’ve been down this road
Ya I’ve done that
And in the end romance always gets a flat
Ya I’ve done that
I’m half gypsy
I’m half renegade man
I’ve got dreams no woman can understand
Oh, I’ve played the game
I tried to pretend
But the road is calling me
The time to ride is here again
I’ve got memories as bright as the sun
I’ll have 10000 more before this body’s done
I’m not hiding from your tangled weavings of love
I’m just a renegade soul needing to rise above
The clouds and thick canopy
Breath in the sweet freedom
So much world to see
I feel in control
When the wind is in my hair
So many stories to share
Wont you pull up a chair
Picking up the pieces of another broken heart
I think us being together is tearing us apart
I’m a renegade
I’m a man who’s broken free
I’m a warrior of love gone bad
I couldn’t be what see wanted me
to be
I’m half gypsy
I’m half renegade man
I’ve got dreams no woman can understand
Oh, I’ve played the game
I tried to pretend
But the road is calling me
The time to ride is here again

Was once thief of hearts
Run
Run through the field of love
Dance with the angles so high above
Build a fire near the wood
The heat from the flames
Makes you feel good
So, Run run run
Run through the minds
The grave yard hides
Don’t breathe a word
You will find fear
your long-lost friend
Is knocking on your door
He wants to grip you again
So, Run run run
Hear the voices of another time
Talk of evil coming down the pipeline
Fight till your last breath
The reaper is coming he smells the death
So, Run run run
Take take my hand
I’ll lead to the promise land
Fly, come close your eyes
Give me a moment to lose this disguise
Give me your broken will
Yesterday was a bitter pill
Now follow me and run
Run run run
Through the fields of love
Dance with the angles so high above
Run till your out of breath
Run from the black screeching cloud of death
Run
Run
Run

Running from the Rock
Running running
From the shock
The sky is fallen is the talk
Running running
To beat the clock
Are you running?
From the rock
You can’t say yes
You can’t say no
Just hold up hands
And watch your life go
Going in a circle
Spinning round and round
Just another number
Destoned for the ground
Running running
from the pain
tv tells the story
of a world gone insane
running running
out of your brain
are you running for the cocaine?
You go high
Then you go lo
You go so high
Then crash way below
Running running
From the shock
The sky is fallen is the talk
Running running
To beat the clock
Are you running?
From the rock
You can’t say yes
You can’t say no
Just hold up hands
And watch your life go
Going in a circle
Spinning round and round
Just another number
Destoned for the ground

Ship of fools
You shot your hot poignant arrow into my heart
Ripping my soul and dreams apart
I’ve been conquered by the madness of a God less world
My love my hopes in the wind unfurl
My skin so cold
My heart turns to ice
This tunnel of doom
Sheds no light
My eyes can’t hide
What burns inside
No matter how hard I try
I pray for a cry
To wash this pain from my eyes
I lay uncaring in my bed
I try to ignore the voices in my head
For I am now easy pray
For the Demons to slay
And If he beats me, He’ll get to rule
Another lost soul on the ship of fools

So many ways to keep a good man down
So many ways
To keep a good man down
Keep those dogs at bay
That follow you around
A good woman is hard to find
If you’re in a barroom
drinking yourself blind
We all know the answers
not waiting at the bottom of a glass
You gotta get your act together
Time is marching on fast
So many ways to keep a good man down
Time to lock those dogs up in the pound
You don’t need any distractions
You need to feel satisfaction
Go get it now
So many ways to keep a good man down
won't you find your road and mosey on down
so many ways to keep a good man down
the odds are stacked against you
when you lay your money down
I see it happen
I hear the talk
There’s a liquor store on every block
You gotta be strong
Stay away from the juice
Cause if you don’t
your putting your head in a noose
so many ways to keep a good man down
I herd you and the Devil been painting this town
You can try again or I’ll see you round the bend
Do it now
There’s no answer at the bottom of the glass
Time is marching on
It’s marching on fast
So many ways
So many ways
So many ways…to keep a good man down
