“Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination and life to everything”
— Plato
“May your trails be crooked, winding, lonesome, dangerous leading to the most amazing view. May your mountains rise into and above the clouds”

ROAD TO NOWHERE ©️
Under the desert moon
The shadows of my thoughts
Casting all my hopes and dreams
Taking reflective moments
To their most extreme
Facing fears I've never seen
Chorus:
I’m on this road to nowhere
I bide my time
All my pain and sorrow
In this pantomime
Demons found their way
To my heart and soul
Dancing on the weakness
Of my mind
Making my temptations
Seem so sublime
Turning consequences into lies
Repeat Chorus
Where do I go now
In the stillness of the night
Peace surrounds me
From all sides
The raging pain inside me
Cannot appreciate
My being now capitulates
Repeat Chorus x2
A LIFE ©️
Chorus:
You lived your life singing in the rain
Seeing the very best in all that came
The sun was shining on things dear to you
You lived your life making them all true
So many dreams so many hearts to fill with joy
The warmth, the smile the laughter
We were always so entertained
That life long journey made so many heartfelt friends
From ranches far and wide to cars and hockey play
Repeat Chorus
Compassion found its way to the ones that you touched
So many people blessed to know they had you on their side
You taught so many to believe that things could be right
Nothing could ever stand in the way of your foresight cuz
Repeat Chorus:
We carry on and live our lives
Through the memory of all you gave
Making the world a little better place
We’re sure you would appreciate
Fare thee well my friend on your hero's journey
You're a man whose spirit will always always always be there cuz you......
Repeat Chorus
PEACEFUL JOURNEY ©️
As we pass the gate
Pathway illuminates
Nature’s healing sights and sounds
The river flows with might
To the eyes’ delight
Dancing the waltz of life
Chorus:
I’m on this peaceful journey here with you
Leaving urgency behind
Living moments of joy and harmony
Second chorus: (joy and clarity)
Feeling life as one
Further down our way
A lake reflecting sunrays
Shining bright as the Cygnus stars
The hues of blue and green
Make us both convene
To the shore for tranquility
Repeat Chorus
As our pathway ends
Sand dunes do transcend
To the view of a mighty sea
In all it's ever splendour
This wondrous show of nature
Makes us ponder the balance of being
Repeat Chorus
A STREAM ©️
l’m playing the blues on alate afternoon
Wishing my thoughts away
Think I'll take myself down to that place by the stream
Where things are not what they seem
A dream that was born with such lasting delights
In the arms that held me so well
Time that stood still through the hardships of life
Making all days embraced with sunshine
Hear the sounds of the peace in these woods
Make my heart sing so loud and so true
The magic is gone and the love that I knew
Makes this place feel so different without you
Think I'll take myself down to that general store
Where smiles and cheer are abound
And look for that way to start life anew
Where memories give hope to renew
A wise man long ago said that strength lies within
On a journey of change and of growth
So Ill take myself down to that great stream of life
And feel the love as I go
And feel the love as I go
BERING SEA ©️
Flying to the Dutch Harbour
Marking miles from Anchorage
The Blue Grey sea still waits for me
On the busy docks
The season about to start
Preparations are all abound
I see that 90 footer
Always a sight for sore eyes
They call the vessel "Made for Me"
Chorus
Glacial winds will blow at 90 knots
Without relent or mercy for the crew
Crabbers surrounded everywhere by death
On the Bering Sea
As we make our way to St Matthew's island
My body is warning me
Chopping bait throwing bags
Working the heavy pots
Will take their toll in this frozen world
The prize will be we hope to see
20000 pounds from this horrid sea
Repeat Chorus
As the thunderous might of the waves upon us
Greeting uninvited guests
Makes me always wonder why we never ponder
These persistent risks to life
It's been a slow night for the Blue King Crab
But tomorrow will be a better day
Repeat Chorus
PATHWAYS ©️
I see you in my dreams
In my heart
From the very start
All those heartfelt years
All those hidden tears
Manifest my fears
Chorus:
Pathways in our lives
They supercede
Taking you so far from me
In my magic world
You’re by my side
I see you smile
Everything is in its place
I see you growing face to face
Repeat Chorus
It doesn't matter
where I go
What I do
Or what I see
You’re always there chatting with me
Telling me what you want to be
Repeat Chorus
