Birds of a Feather

I’ve grown out of growing up
And now I wander like a lost pup
Would you be my guide if, dewy-eyed, we came out better?
Alibied as two birds of a feather
I’ve grown out of growing up
And now I wander like a lost pup
Would you be my guide if, dewy-eyed, we came out better?
Alibied as two birds of a feather
I’ve fallen out the fourteenth floor
(I’ve fallen head first through the floor)
Tumbled through just like you did before
Would it be alright if, on my flight, you held my hand?
Palm in palm as two grains in the sand
I’ve grown out of growing up
I’ve grown out of growing up
I’ve dislodged in outer space
Soaring high above the human race
Would you give a sign to help me find my way back home?
Throw a line out in the unknown
I’ve grown out of growing up
Alibied as two birds of a feather

Voicething

Voicething, on your own you’re my voicething
Voicething, I’ve been wondering
I have trod among those stones of sacred letter
Searching through
But no other at my ear in words unfettered
Only you
Voicething, on your own you’re my voicething
Voicething, I’ve been wondering
Voicething, on your own you’re my voicething
Voicething, I’ve been wondering
Tell me how to ease the pain that holds you under
In your heart
Tell me how to set a spirit into slumber
To depart
Voicething, on your own you’re my voicething
Voicething I’ve been wondering
Don’t you leave me, my voicething
The wind can’t drown you out
Don’t you ever fly from me
Don’t you leave me, my voicething
The waves can’t drag you down
Don’t you go
Voicething, voicething, voicething
Voicething, voicething, voicething, voicething
Voicething, voicething, voicething, voicething
Voicething, voicething, voicething
Don’t you leave me, my voicething
The wind can’t drown you out
Don’t you ever fly from me
Don’t you leave me, my voicething
The waves can’t drag you down
Don’t you ever fly from me

A Whispered Word

I was like a dying bird
Flying backwards
Staring up
Quite absurd
I was like a worn-out shoe
Tied upon a line
On high wire
Quite a view
Ooh, but I
Had a moment when the world was all but mine
Ooh, and I
Never though that in that moment we’d align
You were like a whispered word
Long forgotten
Long unheard
But well-rehearsed
Ooh, but I
Had a moment when the world was all but mine
Ooh, and I
Never though that in that moment we’d align
You were like
You were like
A dying bird

Hearts of fire creates love desire
Take you high and higher to the world you belong
Hearts of fire creates love desire
High and higher to your place on the throne
We come together on this special day
Sing our message loud and clear
Looking back, we’ve touched on sorrowful days
Future, past, they disappear
You will find peace of mind
If you look way down in your heart and soul
Well, don’t hesitate ‘cause the world seems cold
Stay young at heart, ‘cause you’re never, never old
You’re never old
That’s the way of the world
Plant your flower and you grow a pearl
Child is born with a heart of gold
Way of the world makes his heart so cold
Hearts of fire creates love desire
Take you high and higher to the world you belong
Hearts of fire, love desire
High and higher, yeah, yeah, yeah
Hearts of fire, love desire
Higher
We've come together on this special day
Sung our message loud and clear
Looking back, we’ve touched on sorrowful days
Future, past, they disappear
You will find peace of mind
If you look way down in your heart and soul
Well, don’t hesitate ‘cause the world seems cold
Stay young at heart, ‘cause you’re never, never old
You’re never old
That’s the way of the world
Plant your flower and you grow a pearl
Child is born with a heart of gold
Way of the world makes his heart so cold
You will find peace of mind
If you look way down in your heart and soul
