KNEELING By Tom Jensen
It's time to inspire
I think that I'm ready
I finally stopped shaking
Though I'm still not
Quite fully steady
It has come that time
To try to walk by myself
If I need some assistance
At least I have someone else
Someone's who's vowed to help
You see I've fallen down
And just laid there
on the floor
I never made a sound
No, I never asked for your help
I thought I could do it by myself
But that just led
to empty feelings
As a deeper sadness
grew inside
When what I needed
was healing
And to gain back
some of my pride
That would bring
back to life
The part of me
that died...
But it never really died
I found it was only sleeping
So, I wasn't afraid to cry
No, I wasn't afraid of weeping
I knew I was
growing cold inside
When my tears
they started freezing
That's when I knew
I had to open my eyes
I couldn't yet stand
So I began by kneeling
And I got to where
the air was warm
As slowly, I went
from the lowly
To where I started
to regain my form
It's time to inspire
I think that I'm ready
I finally stopped shaking
Though I'm still not
Quite fully steady
It has come that time
To try to walk by myself
If I need some assistance
At least I have someone else
Someone's who's vowed to help...
REST IN PEACE By Tom Jensen
When the flames rose up
I watched my house burn down
As everything I had
Lay smoldering on the ground
Yet I wasn't sad
For me and my cats got out
But I got this sinking feeling
That there was something else....
I walked over to the lawn
Began rummaging around
That's when I remembered
My ears didn't hear the sound
Of a piercing shriek
Yelling at me to wipe my feet
Saying wash your hands twice
Before you come touching me...
Oooooh.....
that's right.....
Oooops....
she must have been asleep...
So when someone asks me,
"How's my wife?"
I say, "May she rest in peace"
CHAMELEON By Tom Jensen
She changes the color of her eyes
Every once and awhile…
But that’s all right with me
Sometimes strangers take her by surprise
So she’s always quick to flash a smile
Because life is full of compromise
And that’s not a bad way to be
She hates it when I preach
And she knows that she was born to teach
And baby, dreams are free
Anything you seek is achievable
Once you convince yourself it’s believable
I think I’ve found it…
And I can’t wait for you to see
I think I’ve found it…
And I can’t wait for you to see
I think I’ve found it…
To any locked door we have the key
Will you take my hand and follow me?
Here and now and eternity?
I think I’ve found it…
And I can’t wait for you to see
To any locked door…
We have the key
Will you take my hand
And follow me?
DEVIL’S FRIEND by Tom Jensen
I can’t quit it
Let me hit it
Oh won’t you let me in?
I’ve been sinning
Since the beginning
And I don’t want that to end
I keep learning
While I’m burning
I’ve become the Devil’s friend
What I’m saying
Is I’m still playing
It won’t be a pretty end…
I been high for a long time
I’ve been dry even longer
Out in the sunshine
The truth just gets stronger
I was hiding in my cave
And that’s no place to get saved
See a man in full retreat
That’s when he’s easiest to beat
Well I just hid my head
‘Til the world thought I was dead
Gone, lost and hidden away
Far from society I strayed
Trapped in a world I couldn’t face
One where I quickly lost my place
Finding solace in defeat
Told myself I can’t compete
FOLLOWING THE BLIND
Such a waste of time…
Following the blind
Open up your eyes
Haven’t you realized?
‘Tis better to lead them…
And still be breathing
Than it is to follow
And be the one left bleeding
Never wading in the springs of freedom….
And not understanding these things I speak of
Contemplating something hollow and misleading
And it brings many things…
Such as a false disguise by a gypsy king
In his lies we discover many truths…
Through his eyes we uncover his abuse
And his song of sorrow so many sing
For only a fool would break the sole rule…
Of the creator of thought
The earth shaker
The maker of everything
And all that there is to believe in or be bought
Is there really a tomorrow?
After you’ve just eaten the forbidden fruit of Eden?
Ummm…nah, probably not
THIS VERY ROOM by Tom Jensen
(for a female vocalist)
These simple pleasures
Shall forever dull my pain
For even though he may be gone
Still my memories of him remain
Even though I am here with you
We both know we're not alone
He's in my head, right here, right now
As if he was standing in this very room
(He says:)
Has she ever called out my name
When you two were lying in bed?
Did she ever scream out in pain
I can't get him out of my head!
Has she ever said that I was to blame
Yes, I'm sure that's what she said
Did she ever to you complain
That she'd be better off dead?
I'm sure that she did
So hard to keep these feelings hid
I'm sure that she did
It's such a tough thing to be living with
I try not to think of him
For there's so much to think about
Too many truths that I've discovered
Though to this day still I have my doubts
He led me by the collar
Then tied me to a string
And left me hitched to this post
After promising me everything
Even though I am here with you
We both know we're not alone
He's in my head, right here, right now
The same as if he was standing in this very room
And he won't be leaving anytime soon
