Shall I Dance Again?
Dare I eat a peach?
Dare I cut my hair?
Shall I buy a new suit?
Something fashionable to wear?Shall I dance again?
Those musical steps
But shall I learn to tango?
Now more structure is bestShall I travel again
To see new lands?
With whom shall I talk ?
With whom shall I plan?I walk on the beach
With the tide coming in
I see the white waves
With the surfers jumpingLike a sirens song
Do they call to me?
To run and join them
With seaweed in the sea?
He’s a Man
He’s a man
I can identify with him
I can feel him
Deep in my gut withinHe smells the air
Like the wolf he prowls
When he smells his prey
He stalks and howlsHe’s a warrior
Who cuts with his knife
To protect his home
And provide for his wifeHe knows when to play
And when to fight
And when to join
And when a loner is rightIn his soul
There is a ‘meaning’ need
And this can drive him on
To a good or evil deed
I Wear a Black Hat – Lyrics
I saw my father
In the mirror today
And I said yesterday
What he might say
I wear a black hat
To hide my grey hair
As I run too fast
From a life not fairIt is what it is
But what does it mean?
I’m an ignorant part
Of a greater machine
I can see the end coming
I’ll try not to stare
As I run too fast
From a life not fairI held someone’s hand
And I made someone smile
I forgot where I was going
At least for a while
It’s good to feel needed
To have someone who cares
As I run too fast
From a life not fairWe’re in this together
So I’m not unique
It’s not a favour
Or an advantage I seek
I know we’re all alone
If we have nothing to share
As we run too fast
From a life not fairBut we are so blessed
To be here alive
Somehow chosen
From that great formless void
Free to choose our purpose
Without fear if we dare
As we run too fast
From a life not fairI held someone’s hand
And I made someone smile
I forgot where I was going
At least for a while
It’s good to feel needed
To have someone who cares
As I run too fast
From a life not fair
I Wore a Black Hat
I saw my father
In the mirror today
I said yesterday
What he might say
And I wore a black hat
To hide my grey hair
As I run too fast
From a life not fair
It is what it is
But what does it mean?
I’m an ignorant part
Of a greater machine
I can see the end coming
I’ll try not to stare
As I run too fast
From a life not fair
We’re in this together
So I’m not unique
It’s not an advantage
Or a favour I seek
We’re all alone
When our lives laid bare
We run too fast
From a life not fair.
I held someone’s hand
And made somebody smile
I forgot where I was going
At least for a while
Its good to be needed
And have someone to care
As we run too fast
From a life not fair.
