FALLEN CLOUDS

by William Elmore & Tom Jensen

The stories told beside a campfire

so many years ago

Still echo through the canyons

melt the newly fallen snow

The legend of great heroes

now rest upon the stars

Along the craters of the moon

lay dark and blemished scars

There's no one here

to judge the living

Or sort through the dead

No one here to dictate terms

Nor record what was said

The laws of these lands

has not been etched in stone

The king who holds the scepter

can still be overthrown

Hanging clouds drift above

after the battle in the sky

Fallen soldiers through love and war

each one picking sides

So many wandering souls

Set adrift way up high

Listen through the canyons

We hear another deep sad sigh

You can never see their face

They can never find their place

When lightning strikes

The fire runs wild

Falling raindrops through the sky…

Fallen clouds…

Fallen

STRANDED

by Justin Justice & Tom Jensen

Hanging by a rope

We each cling to hope

Stranded on an island

Where screams fall silent

Giant crashing waves

No hope of being saved

Sailor standing on a dock

Sunrise is his clock

The moon rising overhead

The sailor falls dead

The tide comes rolling in

The cycle ends

A new one begins

COMING OF FALL

by Tyler Thompson & Tom Jensen

There's a man too wobbly to stand

On the topside ledge of a mountain

Sitting... searching for the truth

For some worldly proof

Of an eternal fountain

ooh

Kneeling...

He stares at his withered hands

All the while peeking

Over his shoulder

Feebly he attempts to stand

Sensing Northern winds

Blowing colder

ooh

Through a clear sky

he enters into a haze

With wrinkles around his eyes

He gazes

To the west

But he forgets although he tries

He numbers his time in minutes not days

He wonders if time will let him save

But now the past has died...

The sun sets over a distant horizon

The calming darkness begins to call...

A breath of October quietly exhaled

There is no mistaking the coming of fall

There's no mistaking

There no mistaking

The coming of...

Fall

BREAKING THE CHAINS

by Tiffany Anne & Tom Jensen

Out in the distance

I think I hear someone

Calling my name

I guess even here I am still not alone

To think that solitude

Was the reason I came

To be out here so far from home

No matter where you go

Something or someone will find you

You'll never be able to break every chain

There is always one that will bind you

Go ahead and try

Go ahead and try to break the chain

Go ahead and try

But some things will never change

Out in the distance

I think I hear someone

Calling my name

I guess even here

I am still not alone

To think that solitude

Was the reason I came

To be out here so far from home

No matter where you go

Something or someone will find you

You'll never be able to break every chain

There is always one that will bind you

Go ahead and try

Go ahead and try to break the chain

Go ahead and try

But some things will never change

ONE SLIP OF THE KNIFE

by Justin Justice & Tom Jensen

Whenever you feel down

When in your mind you feel truly alone

Take a walk among the dead

Read each name upon each stone

If your eyes don't change

Join them in name join them in spirit

Be one and the same

From some pains you can never run away

Though sometimes forgotten

-- the scars will always stay

For sometimes it seems like there's no escape

And yet all it takes is one simple mistake

To burn down the mansion you built

To knock the clown off of his stilts

But don't let your judgment fail you

Know what you're finding before it's found

Don't ever let your cross nail you

A weight so heavy it'll drag you down

And when your inner voice

seems to have no sound

And all this pain builds up inside

You are here alone - with no one around

One thought stalks you:

there's nowhere left to hide...

And on the table lies a 12-inch blade.

As night creeps in as black as a spade

Would it really matter?

One slip of the knife?

Would anyone notice

-- a worthless life?

She lies on the floor

Her last thought so guilted

Clutching a rose now fallen and wilted

OVERRATED

by Tyler Thompson & Tom Jensen

It's all the same

yet so much has changed

Since ten years ago

There's so much I've learned

but still I've returned

To what I used to know

New strangers appear

Old friends disappear

For some reason I've let them go

So simply stated:

My book no one's read it…

My life story nobody knows

Though my cover is quite plain

my text is full and rich

Be it fact or fiction

Who knows which is which?

I fake my happiness, hold back my tears

So I appear elated

It's best that I hide behind these hollow eyes

While I'm intoxicated

It's all the same yet so much has changed

Feeling high, then feeling low

I've visited here and I've traveled there

But what have to show

It's all the same

yet so much has changed

Since ten years ago

There's so much I've learned

but still I've returned

To what I used to know

New strangers appear

Old friends disappear

For some reason I've let them go

So simply stated

Life's too complicated

Tired of telling my tale of woe

It's suddenly so clear to me

That I may never be

What I want to be

So hopefully being the best

Is overrated…….Overrated

MAYBE SOMEDAY

by Bryan Magsayo & Tom Jensen

Maybe someday all my wounds will mend

When I got drawers on my chin and I’m wearing Depends

I’ve tried everything but this feeling won’t end

No wonder darkness has slowly become my best friend

Confusion is my brother; I’m the son of desperation

Lost is my desire and I’m still searching for motivation

Every morning I wake up and I pray I can stay in bed

Sleep can be so peaceful and so good for the head

I’ve put off everything off until the end of time

My friends think they’re psychics trying to read my mind

I want to scream at them even though they’re being kind

FIRST PLACE

by Klaus Bluetner & Tom Jensen

Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Dooo

Hey look at me...

I'm still laughing and joking

Even though I quit smoking

While I was working I was thinking

I'm so glad that I gave up drinking

Listen to me speak...

Well I guess the first place to start

Would be to tell you I got love in my heart

(love in my heart)

For a heart without love

is a glove without a hand

Or a brain without a mind

A mind that can't understand

Or ears that can't hear

this song that I sing

Or a tongue that won't taste

these chocolates that I bring

Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo

Hey look at me...

Well I guess once when I lost my way

Here's another fact

Is that I can't really say

I ever really fully came back

Listen to me speak...

Just what is this

To have to come back to?

In what was once such a sacred place

Now lies a land of ruin

Where even the sky

Seems to burn my eyes

As I wash my face

In this dirty pool

I thought I'd been freed…

Now I see I was a fool

Poor hurried me…

Following the rules I learned in school

Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo

For a heart without love

is a glove without a hand

Or a brain without a mind

A mind that can't understand

Or ears that can't hear

this song that I sing

Or a tongue that won't taste

these chocolates that I bring

(Oh Yeah!)

Woo hoo

Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo

SLEEPWALKERS

by Klaus Bluetner & Tom Jensen

When they're playing chess with you...

The game never lasts very long

Still haven't got a clue... why do you...

Why do you smile when you take a pawn?

Then their bishop overtakes your knight

When he wasn't even dressed to fight

Soon their queen upends your rook

Before you could even look

Another smile...

your knight just claimed a pawn

But now...

now your little horsie's gone

He didn't run away...

he just got sleighed

As the king of your castle

he numbers his days

Yeah, you're wondering and pondering

As you're endlessly wandering

on and on and on...

And you're scribbling and scrabbling

Along the chessboard of life

feeling you're just a pawn

Sleepwalkers

You just made a list of things

that you need to say

About yourself, about the world

and all its ways

Sometimes you think that

it's a lie that hard work pays

Now that everything has been numbered

- yes even your days

Why is everyone...

sleepwalking around this globe…

This giant wheel?

Seems as a whole we can no longer feel

While deep in this slumber

For the gift of the presence of love

we no longer hunger

When our dreams are gone...

yet we still walk on and on and on and on...

You just made a list of the things

that you need to say

And it 'tis just one...

There's hardly no time left for anyone

As names and faces keep fading farther away

Still, you know you've got so much to give...

so with this guilt you live

I'm sorry, but there's just too few hours in a day

You find your precious time becomes taken up

Oh look now how... You're so easily led astray...

How'd your life become this way?

(sleepwalkers)

Is this what you say?

(sleepwalkers)

While you're wondering and pondering

As you're wandering on and on and on and on...

As you're scribbling and scrabbling

Along the chessboard of life

feeling you're just a pawn

sleepwalkers

PRETTY TOYS

by Klaus Bluetner & Tom Jensen

With every hurled stone that is cast

I walk one step closer to becoming broken

With every coming sunset I manage to outlast

Ahead lies a sunrise by which I may not be awoken

With every cigarette I smoke

I see another small sign of cancer

With every question that I ask

I find I come closer to the answer

As I look within your empty eyes

You create a new fantasy to fill the void

You play some music to cover your sighs

and fill your room with all those pretty toys...

Hey rich girl...

Throw the keys to your Mercedes down to me

You'll have to leave it all behind

if you really want to be free

I look at my hands

they're all beaten and torn

Sometimes you must get dirty

if you want to be reborn

Hey rich girl...

tell me what did you see

when you traveled the world?

Did you do all you were told

like daddy's good little girl?

Come away with me

and maybe I'll write you a song

I've come here to teach you

that everything they taught you was wrong...

Hey rich girl... Just what makes you think

Father always knows best?

Sure you've found some answers

but you still must take the test

With every hurled stone that you cast

You walk one step closer to becoming broken

With every coming sunset you manage to outlast

Ahead lies a sunrise by which you may not be awoken

With every cigarette you smoke

You see another small sign of cancer

With every question that you ask

You come much closer to the answer

Look within your empty eyes

A new fantasy to fill the void?

Play some music to cover your sighs

Fill your room with more pretty toys...

Pretty toys…

Pretty toys

CONCRETE PEOPLE

by Klaus Bluetner & Tom Jensen

Concrete people like to hide behind gold

Concrete people will collect what they're owed

Concrete people leave you out in the cold

Concrete people hate most to be exposed

Concrete people ain't got no souls

They traded them in for high priced clothes

Concrete people with their hearts of stone

Even sold out my beloved rock and roll

Concrete people never hang their heads low

Concrete people never let their feelings show

Concrete people keep their statues in rows

Concrete people always reap what they sow

But me, I ain't no concrete man

I mess things up every now and then

I slave for those who do me wrong

And I find relief in the rock and roll song

Rock and roll song

Concrete people think I'm wasting my time

Concrete people never step out of line

Concrete people hate the shirt that I wear

Concrete people find me too hard to bare

Concrete people ain't got no souls ...

They traded them in for high priced clothes

Concrete people with their hearts of stone

Even sold out my beloved rock and roll

And me, I ain't no concrete man

I mess things up every now and then

Slave for those who do me wrong

And I find relief in a rock 'n roll song

Rock and roll song

FIGHT FOR PEACE

by Tom Jensen & Lynette

Come now citizens of the world

Let us knock down this mental wall

Time to let a new flag unfurl

Large enough to cover us all

Endless sea of humanity

That will bridge both the land and shore

Become one global family

Let us not divide anymore

Realize difference makes us great

Opposed to tearing us apart

I swear to you it's not too late

And all it takes is one to start

It could be you who makes a stand

One burning monk can end a war

Wouldn't fight in Iraq...I ran

Didn't deem it worth fighting for

Unlock the door you have the key

Finally let this madness cease

Everybody say it with me

What is my belief? Can’t fight for peace

Come now citizens of the world

Let us knock down this mental wall

Time to let a new flag unfurl

Large enough to cover us all

Endless sea of humanity

That will bridge both the land and shore

Become one global family

Let us not divide anymore

Realize difference makes us great

Opposed to tearing us apart

I swear to you it's not too late

And all it takes is one to start

Unlock the door you have the key

Finally let this madness cease

Everybody say it with me

What is my belief? Can’t fight for peace
