BLESSING IN DISGUISE

by Justin Justice & Tom Jensen


Maybe you'll see him again

when all is well

Up there in heaven

or maybe down here in hell


There's no telling

what the tide will bring to shore

No way to know if you'll meet again

Once you walk out that door




Think of the one you loved

whom you now despise

Believing that a heart grown cold

is a heart grown wise


Yet before the flood Mother Nature sighs

For she holds a power that no man denies


Soaked to the bone

as you're on your way home

With the umbrella that you hold

at least you are not alone


Yet you're soaked to the bone

as you're on your way home

With the umbrella that you hold

at least you are not alone


Everything happens for a reason

soon you will realize

That even your worst nightmare

could be a blessing in disguise


And that after it rains the sun will rise

Allowing you to gaze up at brighter skies


Your soul will guide you

when your heart tells you lies

Sometimes when you search

you have to close your eyes


There is no such path

straight as the crow flies

This journey you make

is filled with lows and highs


Soaked to the bone

as you're on your way home

With the umbrella that you hold

at least you are not alone


Yet you're soaked to the bone

as you're on your way home

With the umbrella that you hold

at least you are not alone


So much for talking

You had better start walking

With the clouds rolling in

pretty soon it'll pour


As all the dirt

washes down the street

Like tears cried over a battle

that was lost in defeat


Maybe you'll see him again

when all is well

Up there in heaven

or maybe down here in hell



There's no telling

what the tide will bring to shore

No way to know if you'll meet again

once you walk out that door


Soaked to the bone

as you're on your way home

With the umbrella that you hold

at least you are not alone


FRAMES

by Jon Jacobs & Tom Jensen

One more beer

And then I'll head home

Unless she comes over her

Who wants to be alone?


One more story

This time I just can't resist

It's time to share my pain

And what I've been living with


Like the crooked picture

Which we once hung on the wall

When you're hanging by a nail

It's just a matter of time before you fall


So come on over here

and pull up that chair

You'll get to learn why

my glass is half-full of beer


Once I had a jealous girl

And she had a jealous mind

And we lived inside a jealous world

So thus she's no longer mine


Like the crooked picture

Which we once hung on the wall

When you're hanging by a nail

It's just a matter of time before you fall


Yet everyday she

Walks on by straight through

And every day I wait here

For here to act like she used to


However I never

Seem to catch her eye

Every day she looks down

And I think I know why


Like the crooked picture

Which we once hung on the wall

When you're hanging by a nail

It's just a matter of time before you fall


Every day is the day that she regrets

Treating me like we never met

Someday she'll agree

She messed up a good thing leaving me


In through a window

Out climbed a broken vow

Into this sacred house

Where no one else was allowed


Like the crooked picture

Which we once hung on the wall

When you're hanging by a nail

It's just a matter of time before you fall


A matter of time before you fall


UNITY

by Justin Justice, Lai Youttitham & Tom Jensen

Sometimes when I look into your eyes

I feel I’ve been reborn

And yet other times I can feel my heart become

Colder, broken and torn


There is no greater pain

than letting what you want

Slip right through you fingertips

Sometimes it hurts, sometime it haunts

But the burning in your heart still lingers

Much like the touch of her lips


What I feel I might not always say

But I need you tonight

just as much as I needed you today

Like a river overflowing

I know that my love for you is still growing

Let us hope it never fades away

That is why I say…


Unity…you and me together

Soon we’ll see if we can be

Forever for, for one, for one another

Or else never will true love

ever be discovered


Let me bend you and shape you…

Into…. what I want you…to be

A soul mate….a friend…

A lover of life for your whole life

‘til its end


My soul, conscience and my guide

A true mirror to my inside

My eternal undying spring


Remember…

From nothing comes everything…

Comes everything


My delicate flower

Giving me a garden in the wintery snow

Take me and show me

Exactly where you would like to go


We both know that I’d follow

just given the word

And as soon as I cried

From the years of lifted sorrow…

You’d be given the world


Unity…you and me together

Soon we’ll see if we can be

Forever for one another


Unity…you and me together

Soon we’ll see if we can be

Forever for one another


Or else never will true love

ever be discovered

Or else never will a true love

ever be discovered


DUST TO DUST

by Klaus Bluetner & Tom Jensen

When you don't wanna remember

Yet you can't seem to forget

Been through a range of emotions

Can't say just one suits you best


I've got so much

"Save the World" rally 'round stuff

And a heart full

of fading long lost love letters


Don't know from where it appears

but there's a whisper In my ear

No time to bury my fears

No time to stop and disappear

I've got a mind

that reminds me all the time to be

careful of whom I trust

when things don't look better


Ahhh...

Ahhh...


For there are those who like to overdose

on pleasure and love giving in to lust


"C'est la vie"

(c'est la vie)

Ashes to ashes

Diapers to diapers

dust to dust...


Ashes to ashes

Diapers to diapers

dust to dust...


dust to dust...


What is precious…All that is true

(what is precious…all that is true)


The best of intentions

I had and gave these things to you


dust to dust...

dust to dust...

dust to dust…


WATER FLESH AND BONE

by Justin Justice & Tom Jensen

Should I go to San Francisco?

I'm getting sick and tired of the snow

I've been stuck around here

For all my years

And I've been thinking I better go

There's not much that I'd be leaving

Except the one person I believe in

And maybe, maybe that's the reason

Maybe it's time to let her go?


For every day she waits

The closer I come to slipping away

I thought we were soul mates

But I don't feel as strong about her today

As I did yesterday


And I'm still waiting...

But I'm barely hanging on

My mind, it keeps debating

Over whether I am right or I am wrong


But every time I try to write

She becomes the subject of my song

And I'm still waiting...

But I think that this time

I might’ve been waiting too long


She held the hands that helped mold me

Into what I now am

She was my inspiration

Turned the key that drove me

Away from a dark and desolate land


She was my motivation

But we all know

That sometimes life doesn't always go

The way in which you had it planned


Some mornings you feel...

Like you're on top of the world

While other times...

You're the damned of the damned


So this morning I asked myself

Should I go to San Francisco?

I'm getting sick and tired of the snow

I've been stuck around here

For all my years

And I've been thinking I better go


There's not much that I'd be leaving

Except the one person I believe in

And maybe that's the reason

Maybe it's time to let her go?


TRAIN

by Justin Justice & Tom Jensen

The conductor blows his whistle

Time for the train to leave the gate

As I'm sitting by the window

Wondering why you’re late


I promised myself that you’d be here

Been telling myself that for so long

But as the cars start in motion

I'm thinking maybe that I’m wrong


Maybe you forgot your ticket

Or else on another track

On this train I’m leaving

And I'm never coming back


I said I'd meet you at the station

With suitcases in my hand

But why you never showed up

I'll never understand


You know I paid for your ticket

Even before I bought one for myself

Perhaps you boarded the next car

And sitting with someone else


In all of this confusion

You know I’ve lost my mind

While hurrying for the train

I left my heart behind


LITTLE BIRD

by Justin Justice & Tom Jensen

Wondering deep inside my own fascination

Gathering all my strength just to open up the door

Close my eyes with a little hesitation

Knowing I’ll never hear your music any more


How could someone so dear to me

Keep me so confused and from the truth for so long?

Whispering of love when she was so near to me

When deep inside she knew it was only a song


Oh little bird

Sing what’s in your heart

Never sing a song

That should never have been heard

Oh little bird

You turned your trickery into an art

Humming a melody

These ears should have never heard

Oh little bird










Oh little bird

Sing what's in your heart

Never sing a song

That should never have been heard

Oh little bird

You turned your trickery into an art

Humming a melody

These ears should have never heard

Oh little bird


HALF FULL

by Klaus Bluetner & Tom Jensen

My glass is still half-full

Though my heart's half-empty

My castle's falling down

After standing for centuries


My faith is still strong

As love has not been forgotten

I see many trees cut down

Yet their fruit has not turned rotten


My smile I wear is real

My arms are still open

I've revealed to you how I feel

And even my difficulties coping


In this ever-changing world

With you not being in it

We both know how hard it can be

To start over at the beginning


Yet we must carry on

Without malice or regret

Without shame or self-pity


Come on!


Yes we must be strong

Picking ourselves up

whenever we get stuck

or start stumbling along


For when it comes to life

Obstacles... There can be many…


When I say

I have the ability

To handle any and all adversity

To be the candle on the darkest night

Just hold my hand and trust in me


And I will try my best to

Guide you towards the light

And I will lead the battle charge

If there comes a time when we must fight







TRYING TIMES

by Klaus Bluetner & Tom Jensen

I was trying to find a single ray of light

To lead me through

To guide me onward

To help my eyes regain their sight


I was trying to find

a single fresh breath of air

To fill my lungs

so I could scream and yell out your name

So you'd know where I am

after you disappeared


I was trying to find a single reason why you left

But I could not as I thought and thought

There was nothing I said… There was nothing I did

Except give you everything

I always tried my best to give you everything I got


I was trying to find a single reason to go on

Be it only to be right

Or perhaps just to prove you wrong

Maybe if you could see me happy again

It would show you that I'm still strong

I was trying to find a single reason not to cry

For it seems like the right thing to do

When you feel so broken and empty inside

For these trying times

Seem to bring out the monster that hides


Beneath the false face I wear

The one that covers my sadness and my despair

All my pain and hurt


When the flame of light no longer glows bright

Or whenever I do finally flint a fire

I always find myself getting burnt


USED TO BE

by Klaus Bluetner & Tom Jensen


I used to be really rockin'

I used to be rollin'


I had it

I lost it

I found it…aAnd then it was stolen


So now I'm back out lookin'

Down the avenue I'm strollin'

Still got the fire but nothing's cookin'

I had it once but I no longer hold it


Gone, gone, gone away

I found it once but I no longer own it


Led, led, led astray

Let everybody see it

When I never should have shown it


No, no, no way

And if you can't clone it

Then you better lock it away


That's why today

Is just the price we have to pay

For yesterday's mistakes

For jumping in the lake


When it was far too shallow

and much too cold

Didn't pay for the ticket

but ride is getting old


All right everyone gather around

Everybody's gotta play their part


Go starting looking

all over the ground

And don't stop looking

until you find my heart


I once gave it away

But it was disregarded

And the way I see it

You'll probably find it in pieces


'Cause she left me here so brokenhearted


I used to be really rockin'

I used to be rollin'



MATCH MAKER

by Klaus Bluetner & Tom Jensen

I'm inspired...again

By the flame of a fire at least it's not the rain

I'm inspired...again

Will this song that I sing just sound the same?


The same as all the other songs

That I used to write

Where the melody was truly beautiful

But the words were never right


Or maybe it was just the name

What if I change it?

And yet let the lyrics remain


Perhaps then all would be In perfect harmony

If instead of her and I

I wrote about you and me...


I'm inspired...again to open my heart

And with this new start another song would begin


Or it could all come to an end

And instead of an old love song

This time I could start my new rhyme:

A poem freshly penned for a friend



Either way I would write with words full of love

Hoping that you and I unite

Sharing all the dreams we've been thinking of...


I'm inspired...again

By the flame of a fire at least it's not the rain

I'm inspired...again

Will this song that I sing just sound the same?


UNTITLED UNLABELED

by Klaus Bluetner & Tom Jensen

I will never ask you

For what you cannot give

Since I always speak the truth

I no longer know how to live


In a world full of illusions

False promises and disguise

One that no longer seeks solutions

Only places to hide


I wouldn't ask you for your heart...

Only for some piece of mind

I wouldn't ask you for your body

Only for some of your time

I will never ask you

If you'll love me 'til the end

I’d just ask you to hold my hand

And walk and talk with me and be my friend


I will never ask you

For that which

I'd ever have to take


Nor would I want something that wasn't real

Hollow, pretentious or fake


I wouldn't ask you for your heart...

Only for some piece of mind

I wouldn't ask you for your body...

Only for some of your time


I will never ask you

If you'll love me 'til the end

I’d just ask you to hold my hand

And walk and talk with me and be my friend


I would ask you…

To just be my friend...


I would ask you…

To just be my friend...
