Take Me Over

Take me over, darkening despair
Take me hold me, there
Take me over, mourning prayer
Take me home, anywhere

Lead me from despair

Take me over, wounding care
Take me hold me, there
Take me over, bleeding prayer
Take me home, anywhere

Lead me to your care

Take me over, suffering unfair
Take me hold me, there
Take me over, weeping prayer
Take me home, anywhere

Lead me from unfair

Take me over, shaken scared
Take me hold me, there
Take me over, frightened prayer
Take me home, anywhere

Lead me from the scared

Take me over, being there
Take me home, anywhere

Sing

Your courage isn’t a roar
It’s a quiet voice saying much more
As the day fades to an end
It whispers ‘tomorrow I’ll try again’

In those days of disregard
With no song in your heart
It’s a strength to look within
Find a voice dig deep and sing

And sing

It’s not your hair it’s not your skin
It’s your souls voice hidden within

It cannot kill love or shatter dreams
Nor conquer the spirit with its cursed schemes
It can’t break your will or reduce to your knees
It doesn’t define you the dividing disease

In the storms rage and pain
Learn it’s rhythm dance in the rain
Find your light shine it bright
War the dark with all your might

In those times endeavor needs
Share your fears worries freed
Friends give heart beat the way
They comfort tears in cadence play

And Play

It’s not your hair it’s not your skin
It’s your souls voice hidden within

It cannot kill love or shatter dreams
Nor conquer the spirit with its cursed schemes
It can’t break your will or reduce to your knees
It doesn’t define you the dividing disease

Tomorrow I’ll try again
Tomorrow I’ll try again
And Sing

Signs

Life offers signs, whispers in our minds
A gentle voice, true and kind

Within the words, our wisdom and heart
Navigates our choices, guiding every part
Secrets of who to love, whom to hold dear
Those to set free, and those to draw near

Life offers signs, windows to our minds
A hidden sight, subtle yet defined
Revealing what’s true, and what to pursue
Illuminates the path, your souls point of view

So embrace the call, be bold and true
Surrender to the voice, you always knew
Listen closely, to the warning chimes
And the dreams that weave, there enchanting, rhymes

Don’t be stubborn, face the moment
Whether adversaries, or an exponent
Chase your desires, chose your way
It’s time to follow, not time to stray

Recognize the truth, when the moments right
Find the courage within, follow your light
Embrace your choices, unbound and pure
Trust your instincts, let the signs endure

So embrace the call, be bold and true
Surrender to the voice, you always knew
Listen closely, to the warning chimes
And the dreams that weave, there enchanting, rhymes

Life offers signs, whispers in our minds
Surrender to the voice, true, and kind

Eternal

There’s something amiss
A splinter out of sight
The persistent unease
That the worlds not right

All those reminders
Stirring thoughts of you
Echoes of changes
A recurring deja vu

Dreams twist and turn
Only the enduring last
Brighter days slip away
Lost to the past

A tangle of sadness
Entwined in fear’s grip
Erased from memories
The hearts still eclipsed

I’m not a concept, you need to survive
Nor will I complete you, or take you alive
I’m just a fusion, a crazy combined
Seeking my solace, my own peace of, mind

Happiness discovered, now we’re realigned
All pains forgotten, loves gaze now blind
The Eternal clarity, of a pristine mind
Every desire acknowledged, every plea, resigned

Adrift in uncertainty,
So lost and so scared
It’s though I’m fading,
In the shadows of despair

It just wasn’t our time
The reason we couldn’t be
Is there another tide
A chance for you and me

Happiness discovered, now we’re realigned
All pains forgotten, loves gaze now blind
The Eternal clarity, of a pristine mind
Every desire acknowledged, every plea, resigned

The Eternal clarity, of a pristine mind
Every desire acknowledged, every plea, resigned

I’m just a fusion, a crazy combined
Seeking my solace, my own peace of, mind

She Plays

She plays in colour, with an open heart
Perfectly measured, her rubato start

She plays in harmony, lost in the aria
No strings attached, her key to euphoria

She plays in vibrance, the record resonates
Echoes of lessons, her melodies create

She plays in the flame, a pitch to attract
Finding her cadence, her songs scaled back

She plays in the heavens, content with refrain
Asking for nothing, her life can’t sustain

She plays in the movement, intonation implies
Renaissance bars, her bridges of sighs

And she plays, she plays, and she plays

She plays for us all, and to escape thereof
With broken chains, and nothing but love

[Fletch]

Media Lies

Take your photos, spin your lies
Taping phones, ruining lives
No moral compass, no remorse
Show no conscience, or second thoughts

Can you tell what’s right any more

Feed on fear, shock and awe
Use propaganda, rig the score
Show no mercy, anyone’s fair
Distort the story, without a care

You fabricate fiction and pedal myth
Exploit your position, truth dismissed

Your fully aware, which makes it worse
Show no remorse, for damage perverse
Seduced by the power, and the greed
In the pockets of those, who lie and deceive

Can you tell what’s right any more

Not objective, mandarins served
Facts imagined, hate preserved
Agendas honored, extremes sell
No right from wrong, or Heaven and hell

Can you tell the difference any more

With impunity, libel your critics
Perjure yourself, slander your cynics
Political anger, TVs tuned
No integrity, meddling tycoons

You fabricate fiction and pedal myth
Exploit your position, truth dismissed

Your fully aware, which makes it worse
Show no remorse, for damage perverse
Seduced by the power, and the greed
In the pockets of those, who lie and deceive

Can you tell what’s right any more

How do you sleep, with what you’ve done
Spin your lies, knowing you’re wrong

[Fletch]

Released

I can’t dream without you
And I can’t see my way through
Why can’t you be true
Why when I always knew
Truth chances missed fate obscured inner wish
Released desires list first passion found adrift

Inspiration realization and release
Mercy pity and peace
Wonder illusion and freedom
Sanguine implied our reason
When you were never there
When you never showed you cared

I am cold without you
And I can only renew
Why can’t fantasy be true
Why are you hiding from view
Truth I played my part supported you healed your heart
Released glowing mark to adorn your new start

Inspiration realization and release
Mercy pity and peace
Wonder illusion and freedom
Sanguine implied our reason
When you were never there
When you never showed you cared

When you you never dared
When you you couldn’t declare
When you you never cried
Where you you left me to try

[Fletch]

Annie… Quit the practice before it starts hurting… (But don’t fret, you muscles will adapt/grow in time and you’ll be able to play longer…)

FWIW, I often practice my fretting and strumming separately… So practice your chord changes with a simple down strokes so you can just focus on your fretting. And Vica Versa, just hold one chord whilst learning a new Stumming/picking pattern. Then, when your comfortable with the separates, start doing them together… Might save bobby your head around…

Have fun… Break your practice time up if you need to… 🙂

X and Y

They breed flames of hate, obscure the truth

Peddling lies, claiming they embody you

Believing we’re ignorant, and won’t even try

To question polarization, there’s more than X and Y

Institutions created, before science asked why

Controlling the masses, use fear to comply

They reward us with hope, for when we die

Doctrines imagined, in times before X and Y

Parochial mentality, with imaginary stresses

Suspending reality, create tiresome dilemmas

Not hungry and cold, thirsty or tired

Homeless displaced, or trapped under fire

So be grateful thankful, and dare to try

Thinking for yourself, questioning X and Y

Thinking for yourself, questioning X and Y

Thinking for yourself, questioning X and Y

Oblivious you dwell, in your first-world dreams

Whilst you continue, our planet screams

Theoretical issues, linger in their minds

Privilege problems, they need to assign

Adapting evolution, to suit replies

Convinced they’re different, neither X or Y

History is done, learn and be gracious

Political correctness, sensible is contentious

Just listen be kind, use common sense don’t lie

You’ll never please them all, they’ll change their X and Y

A parochial mentality, with imaginary stresses

Suspending reality, creating tiresome dilemmas

Not hungry and cold, thirsty or tired

Homeless displaced, or trapped under fire

So be grateful thankful, and dare to try

Thinking for yourself, questioning X and Y

Thinking for yourself, questioning X and Y

Thinking for yourself, questioning X and Y
