Deep, Still – lyrics

Deep, Still

If a hurricane rages for awhile, then dies
I would never rage, though my heart is racing wild
If the winter winds press each other on, then turn
I would never race, though my heart so deeply yearns and burns

I have an ocean of deep, still love
Surging, yet silent
Ocean of deep, still love for you
Deeper than blue

See the seasons change, see the moon ascend and fall
They are subject to laws my heart does not uphold
I will be a rock; I will be a mountain’s core
Here I will endure, here I am forevermore
Forevermore I’m yours

I have an ocean of deep, still love
Surging, yet silent
Ocean of deep, still love for you
Deeper than blue
For you, deeper than blue

And the desert sands may shift above, but this love
It is anchored where no storms can move, or disapprove
Yes, the summer breeze may flirt with me, but wait and see
I’m free of these fleeting things

I have an ocean of deep, still love
Surging, yet silent
Ocean of deep, still love for you
Deeper than blue
For you, deeper than blue
For you, deeper than blue
I have an ocean of deep, still love

Back to the Ground – lyrics

Back to The Ground

What the heck am I doing?
Sometimes I got to stop myself and ooh!
Bring it back to the ground
Gotta stop to get moving
back to where I want to be and ooh!
Bring it back to the ground, bring it back to the ground
Bring it back to the ground

Feels like I’m running everyday of my life
So tired of always racing with time
I wish I could just stop and rewind
to somewhere I can free my mind

Wake up each morning with my head full of plans
So much to do it’s getting way out of hand
They slip through my fingers like grains of sand
and I just don’t understand

What the heck am I doing?
Sometimes I got to stop myself and ooh!
Bring it back to the ground
Gotta stop to get moving
back to where I want to be and ooh!
Bring it back to the ground, bring it back to the ground
Bring it back to the ground

Well, I know what I want but it is so hard to change
I keep on trying but I’m stuck on this page
There’s a mess in my head I need to re-arrange
to get me out of this place

What the heck am I doing?
Sometimes I got to stop myself and ooh!
Bring it back to the ground
Gotta stop to get moving
back to where I want to be and ooh!
Bring it back to the ground, bring it back to the ground
Bring it back to the ground

I want some time for a bubble bath
I need my space just to meditate, yeah
Don’t want to lean on caffeine, no, no
I wanna let my hair down, be free
I wanna be free

What the heck am I doing?
Sometimes I got to stop myself and ooh!
Bring it back to the ground
Gotta stop to get moving
back to where I want to be and ooh!
Bring it back to the ground, bring it back to the ground
Bring it back to the ground, bring it back to the ground
Bring it back to the ground

Boy – lyrics

Boy

Boy, you’re lovely as the morning
Lovely as a rosebud
Just about to bloom
Boy, your heyday is now dawning
Light is creeping in now,
Filling up the room

Wish I could capture you forever; wish I could capture you forever
Wish I could capture you forever as you are
Wish I could capture you forever; wish I could capture you forever
Wish I could capture you forever as you are

As you are growing tall, keep the fragrance
Keep the joy
As you become a man, keep the beauty
Of the boy

Boy, the world can stain your water
Be careful what you carry
Strive to keep your own
Boy, I cannot be your shelter
I’ll only walk beside you
As you journey on

Wish I could capture you forever; wish I could capture you forever
Wish I could capture you forever as you are
Wish I could capture you forever; wish I could capture you forever
Wish I could capture you forever as you are

As you are growing tall, keep the fragrance
Keep the joy
As you become a man, keep the beauty
Of the boy

Wish I could capture you forever; wish I could capture you forever
Wish I could capture you forever as you are
Wish I could capture you forever; wish I could capture you forever
Wish I could capture you forever as you are

 

Sleeper on the Night Train – lyrics

Sleeper on The Night Train

You say, “This is not my day.”
Resign yourself to disarray
Well, don’t you see another way?
Take your future in your hands, make plans and have your say
Rather than waiting for fate to send your day your way

Will you be another sleeper on the night train?
Will you be another sleeper on the night train?

You say, “This is just much luck;
The hand was dealt, now I am stuck.”
Oh, don’t you see another way?
Let your vision now expand, make plans and have your say
Rather than waiting for fate to send your day your way

Will you be another sleeper on the night train?
Will you be another sleeper on the night train?

Sleeper on…

(guitar solo)

Sleeper on, sleeper on, sleeper on…

Will you be another sleeper on the night train?
Will you be another sleeper on the night train?
Will you be another sleeper on the night train?
Will you be another sleeper on the night train?
Will you be another sleeper?

 

Once Upon A Time – lyrics & inspiration

This song was written in a kind of subconscious stream… I’m not quite sure why I wrote it but whenever I perform it, it moves me very deeply. I guess it’s about confusion in identifying what is true love and what is passing fancy… we all have to tread this path.

I Look Up – lyrics & inspiration

I wrote this song whilst I was living for nine months in Alice Springs, which is a small town in the heart of Australia. I dedicated these nine months to establishing a program for kids aged 11-15 called the Junior-Youth Empowerment program – it seeks to empower young people to discover their talents and use them to serve humanity, to make moral decisions, express themselves in a constructive way and to become agents of change in the world. With my main focus being on service to humanity, these nine months were one long spiritual high for me. This song was born out of this high – I guess it’s an anthem of hope for the world. Some of the lyrics come from my convictions as a member of the Baha’i Faith that all of humankind is one family, that we were created to love one another and that world peace is not only possible but inevitable.

Accidental – lyrics & inspiration

I wrote this song about a year ago. I was in a philosophical mood, pondering on the wonders of the universe. This world and the human mind are both so amazing that I think that it could be no accident that we are here; that we must all be here for a purpose. To me, science and spirituality are two complementary paths to approaching truth and knowledge.

Undertones – lyrics & inspiration

This is an old song that I wrote back in my high school days… it’s about the games of romantic hints that people play.
