You Had Me At The Start

You had me at the start 
the start of the morning 
the beginning of night. 

You were with me 
as I traversed treacherous waters 
no saviour in sight. 

I began to understand 
how much I needed you 
when all alone 
in the middle of a terrible fight. 

Now, with you alongside 
I go thru the most dangerous times 
coming out into 
a magnificent, glorious light.

The Sky Is Bright

The sky is bright 
No clouds
In sight 
The way is open 
Light shows no notion of darkening
This glorious day 

I’ll move forward 
Positive 
Sure my path
Will be straightforward 
All obstacles
Moved 
Out of my way 

On, such a lovely day!

Did You See, Do You Know?

Did you see, do you know?
Tell me, tell me if it is so
See only white, no black in sight
Not sure where all the gray did go.

Did you see, do you know
All the stress, heartache where
Where did it go?

Nothing seems the same
It blossoms, it sings a refrain
Tell me, tell me
Did you see, do you know?
