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'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
Go
ahead and try to break the chain
Go
ahead and try
Go
ahead and try
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
Go
ahead and try to break the chain
Go
ahead and try
Go
ahead and try
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!)

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
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

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
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
Rock
and 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
