The Secret Identities

stranger to the rain

well i've seen my colors fading
with every passing day
and i don't know what i'm waiting for
i don't know why i stay

i know i should write that letter
i know i should polish them shoes
i know it might make me better but
i think that i'm trying to lose

and if you look closely
you might even see
the things you want mostly
are not meant to be
shut your eyes slowly
and try not to dream

believe me i'm in no danger
cause i stopped dreaming so long ago
believe me i am no
stranger to the rain
down below

you know i've got one arm reaching
but one arm is in the way
i put all my eggs in one basket
then throw the whole basket away

i've tried to cheat all the sorrow
i thought i was born above
i'll try to move on tomorrow
but i'm stuck and i'm stingy with love

and if you try giving
to friends you have found
remember that living is lived in the round
there's just not enough of my love to go 'round

believe me i'm in no danger
cause i stopped dreaming so long ago
believe me i am no
stranger to the rain
down below

is it out of the question
after you've taken your knocks?
can this song be my suggestion?
where is my suggestion box?

and outside the last chance dreamers
are bound to call out my name
they tell me i'm one in a million
who's drowned in American rain

but what is a broken promise
when you're all tied up in rope?
just try not to tell me i'm lucky
i'll try to stay filled up with hope

and if you look closely
you might even see
the things you want mostly
are not meant to be
shut your eyes slowly
repeat after me

believe me i'm in no danger
cause i stopped dreaming so long ago
believe me i am no
stranger to the rain
down below...

Me / i look at me / not much to see
i look at you and you are so beutiful
you are so beutiful

La / i go to "la" / you go to "na"
na na na na na na
is so beutiful
na is so beutiful

low / i fly to low
you fly to high
and i know why
cause high is so beautifgul
high is so beutiful

and when the mountain is steep
before my eye
i try hard not to sleep
and miss the cry
then you fly by

na - na na na na - na na na na - na na na na na na na na na
na na na na na na
na na na na na na

and I will hear your na na soung
while I'm hovering low on the ground
na na na na
aah aah
na na na na
aah aah
na na na na
na na na na
na na na na na

set / i dig sunset / you dig sunrise
and that is wise
'cause sunrise is beutiful
sunrise is beautiful

i'm in smokey bars
i like guitars
and you like stars
and starlight is beautiful
starlight is beautiful

and when the valley is deep
before my eye
i try hard not to sleep
and miss the cry
then you fly by

na - na na na na - na na na na - na na na na na na na na na
na na na na na na
na na na na na na

and I will hear your na na soung
while I'm hovering low on the ground
na na na na
aah aah
na na na na
aah aah
na na na na
na na na na
na na na na na aaah
na na na na
na na na na
na na na na na

Me / i look at me / not much to see
i look at you and you are so beutiful
you are so beutiful
 

I wish I were a tree

I wish I were a tree in the summer sun swaying branches full of singing birds
with no hopes and no loss no tears to fall just dropping shade upon you as you sketch
I wish I were a tree full in the fall blazing orange as the setting sun
with no dreams and no loss no tears to fall just posing for a water color for you

and when the winds would kick up in the passion of the season I would know how to let go easily
and in an act of selflessness I would drop all my colors to emblazen and inspire your heart,
your heart, your beautiful heart

I wish I were a tree alone in the winter sleeping under beautiful grey skies
with no love and no loss no tears to fall just posing for a charcoal sketch for you

and when the winds would kick up in the passion of the season I would know how to let go easily
and in an act of selflessness I would drop all my colors to emblazen and inspire your heart,
your heart, your beautiful heart...

i wish I were a tree, I wish I were a tree just staying in one place
and not hurting anyone and no body hurting me
wish I were a tree...

Forward

I'm gripping my gut like tire treads on a tar road never mind the mirrors that story's already been told
moving forward I have no idea forward, forward
I can feel the winds coming up behind me there's no choices here the future will align me
moving forward suddenly it's near forward, forward
changes are coming on they're quickly accelerating decisive actions the clarity is exhilarating
moving forward I can get there from here forward, forward

you can't be satisfied unless you're  pursuing your dream
you can't be successful unless you're living your dream
moving forward the horizon's clear forward, forward

some things fall way some things get left behind some things only appear after so much trying
moving forward I don't even have to steer forward, forward...
