Searching For You
I searched for you everywhere
No knowing where you really were
I went as far as another constellation
And in my failure to find you
I grew in indignation
My life is now painful and in review
Unaware you were hiding
Behind the moon's shadow
Residing in a place cold and hollow...
Sarcastically you were smiling at me
Without you, now I know what I can be...
O! Lord! What an irony!
The living proof of an agony!

Whithin Another Man's Shadow
Is not the same
To be in the Shadow,
Than to be the Shadow itself…
For you can move away from the Shadow
Towards the light
But, the shadows could not do
The same,
For it no longer will be the shadow…
Now it is painful and hard for me
To convince myself
That it is NOT what I thought
It could be…
Worse than anything else,
Is to share another man's shadow..
Why should I pay for another man's sins?
It wouldn't be right
And I don't deserve it..
Now I realize,
That everything was just a game
With the shadow and the light
And I caught in between…
Now, obviously, one path remains
For me to take:
The light anytime,
Then,
Definitely I will be
A free Man…
However, wondering
who my shadow
One day may be?
Since you are
Already somebody's else...

Sometimes I Wonder
Is there a place to which I belong?
Which I have searched already so long
Since all time is to me...?
Where are the signs or directions?
Somewhere on these roads are connections
That indicate the way?
Sometimes I wonder...
Perhaps there are maps others have found,
Written paths leading to holy grounds,
With buried treasure within...
The chance is here to find and explore
And seeing which is the golden door
Stop short of entering...
Resisting discoveries beyond
Mortal security holding on,
Knowing imperfection...

Space Between Us
An eternity passed by me,
Unwilling, I watched it go
In the fog of reticence
Hovering elusively
Over the space between us,
Compounding the misery
Of your absence
And my absence...
You could not hear me
Calling you aloud
With my eagle's eyes
But then I realized
That you following me
With yours...
All the blurry distance
Of the divided highway
Muffling the sound
Of my soft voice...
I wanted us to travel together
And I thought you asked me
To be your man
But you did not speak
And I did not speak either!
Nothing was mentioned,
So, nothing was clear,
I turned away again
And to the familiar place
Where I deeply cried!
This painful agony
Became the irony of life!

Refuge
(david henman)
Published by summerlea music, ltd. - bmi
Im but a lad, oh for Im twenty, tuned in to dreaming
Gazing at your sign, for mad men only, my poets screaming
I searched for you, but I cant find you
I searched for you, but I cant find you
Take me to the wild black seas of madness, the savage dancer
Clothe me in insanity and leave me, to find the answer
I searched for you, but I cant find you
I searched for you, but I cant find you
I searched for you, but I cant find you
I searched for you, but I cant find you
I searched for you, but I cant find you
I searched for you, but I cant find you
I searched for you, but I cant find you
I searched for you, but I cant find you

Still
I still hear my heart
Beating loudly like drums
Calling you at every instant
Searching for you
From place to place
Lost in time and shadow
Traveling through
A never-ending path
That leads to nowhere...

A Wondering Soul
There is a place to which I belong,
In there, I have searched for long,
For the natural light
That would for always
Cover my life's pathway,
Since all time is mine...
Where are the signs-the directions?
Somewhere on these roads are connections
That indicate the way...
Perhaps, there are maps others have found,
Or written paths leading to holy grounds
With buried treasures within...
The chance is here to find and explore
And seeing which is the golden door
That shall be wide-opened for me to go through...
No resisting discoveries beyond,
Mortal security holding on,
Knowing once and for all
That my imperfection is real,
So, now, vanished are all my fears
And I have become a restful soul...

Miss Missing You
The Moon is the same Moon
And so are the Stars and Sun
But throughout time,
The wind of changes
Has taken different directions
After touching our lives
And leaving behind
Nothing but just memories...
Our once great and passionate love
Became like a dead rose
Colorless and without scent,
Deception has been exposed
And boundaries clearly delineated
For there is not reasons at all
To keep this rocking union alive
When trust has been bridged…
Now, thanking you for helping me grow
By coming through my life,
I wholeheartedly wish you good luck
In your new adventures
Feeling sorry for those
Who may come across your path…
Hoping that the day will come soon
When this painful agony will stop
Once and for all..
The day I finally will be free
And I start miss missing you...

What You Feel
What you feel
Is not illusion
Only shadow
By confusion
Two eyes cry
For one solution
Desperate for
Resolution...

Touched By A New Love
Throughout all these years
The strives of my life
I had to confront...
Confused and full of fears,
Adversity I had to defy
No knowing whether I was behind
Or I was in the front...
I lost track of my reality,
I confess, I was really lost
Living within a world of fantasy...
Ignoring the real cost...
Of looking for the woman
I could not find...
Now, with you,
I feel above, not below
You are the one, in my dream I saw...
As a blessing you came along,
Bringing light to my darkness,
Inspiring me to sing a new song
And burying all my pain and sadness...
I have become the picture
And you, my perfect frame,
Starting love as a new issue
While filling our heart
With a new flame...

Where Are They Hiding?
Where are they hiding?
The straying cat, the sneaking rat
Where are they hiding?
Under the shadow, inside the hollow
Where are they hiding?
The true face, the real case
Where are they hiding?
Behind the mask, on multiple cracks

Heart Of Ice
Suppressed feelings
Hiding in the bottom of your heart...
Sometimes,
Re bouncing back to your mind
As a form of thoughts,
And a fixed image of me
Which you can't still resist,
In carrying on your stubbornness
Reality you defy and resist...
Great moments we happily spent
And which you painfully miss,
Now, trapped in the shadow and loneliness
Feeling blue or depressed
But still bearing your heart of ice
Refusing to honor my great sacrifice...
Please! don't blame me,
If you no longer have a sweet dream
Since you can not again sleep
The guilt you carry for treating me
Not like a human but like a sheep...
I loved you so much, yes indeed.
You failed our love to bridge...
Your life became hollow,
Dried and really cold...
Tender feelings for you I can't unfold
Since you become the woman
Hiding behind the shadow
Who missed breaking me down as a man...

Wondering
Where is it?
That explanation I've been looking for-
I must have misplaced it or perhaps
It's hiding...
Somewhere in the back of my brain
Or asleep-dreaming
Scheming my demise actively
Plotting to assault my sincerest hopes
Seducing even my behavior...

Constellation Of The Heart
We take all the telescopes
And we turn them inside out
And we point them away from the big sky
Put your eye right up to the glass, now
And here well find the constellation of the heart
Steer your life by these stars
On the unconditional chance
tis here where hell and heaven dance
This is the constellation of the heart
We take all the telescopes
And we turn them inside out
And we point them away from the big sky
Put your eye right up to the glass, now
And here well find the constellation of the heart
The constellation of the heart
The constellation of the heart
We take all the telescopes
And we turn them inside out
And we point them away from the big sky
Put your eye right up to the glass, now
And here well find the constellation of the heart
The constellation of the heart
The constellation of the heart
Well we think youd better wake up captn
Theres something happenn up ahead
Weve never seen anything like it
Weve never seen anything like it before
I want a full report
Thats it
What do you mean, thats it?
Thats all you get
Youd better do something bout it
What am I supposed to do about it?
We dont know, but you cant run away from it
Maybe youd better face it
I cant do that
Cmon face it!
I cant do that
Cmon, cmon face it
What am I gonna do?
It is gonna hurt, it is gonna hurt me bad?
Ooh heres the constellation of the heart
Who said anything about it hurting?
Its gonna be beautiful
Its gonna be wonderful
Its gonna be paradise
(just being alive, it can really hurt...)
Ooh find me the man with the ladder
And he might lift me up to the stars
(without the pain thered be no learning
Without the hurting wed never change.)
Oooh and if you see the woman with the key
I hear shes opening up the doors to heaven
Oh and here comes the man with the stick
He said hed fish me out of the moon
Ohoh heres the constellation of the heart
It is the constellation of the heart
Oh yes it is the constellation of the heart

About Last Night
Last night we met again,
Surrounded by old friends
In the very place
Where we were seen together
Many times before...
Me, alone, still being my unique self,
You, as beautiful as always,
Accompanied by a new man,
Showing off without disdain
Trying to prove that I 've been replaced,
Of yourself, you made a fool...
With my mind uplifted,
My heart completely calmed
And my pride still untarnished:
I drank and danced
With the whole world...
Looking at you
With a stoned cold indifference,
I danced and danced again
Celebrating with joy my new me,
Happy to be totally free...
In you, I saw the same picture again,
But this time with a different frame...
Sadly as it looked, you became
A victim of your childish game,
No longer feeling my love's flame...
Desperately you tried to hide
And couldn't find the mask,
The one from you proudly I removed..
I am I and you are you,
Still with pride and plenty love to prove,
A soulful and honest man I remain,
A living proof of this was left
In the very place
Last night we met again...

Painful Solitude
Painful rejection
Your silence speaks volumes
Solitary dove flies alone,
Looking for a place to belong,
She is lost, heart full of pain
Will she ever be able to sing again?
Painful illness
My body agony
My mind endures
Painful isolation
Painful solitude
Painful loneliness

You Will Go To A Place
One day you will go to a place
And I will not be there
Maybe by spring you will sit
Next to motionlessness
Brokenhearted
Deeply thinking about me
But I will not be there...

Frog Prince Of 21th Century (Part 1)
The memory I've taken with when I started to walk,
I promised I never did gone to break your heart.
Listen to the birds' singing, moon's gone to shards.
I knew the rest of the folktales, and now i will talk.
'Frog is hiding to find a place to sleep
from danger of world after he's cursed by witch.
An ugly frog appeared when he was looking into the pond.
Moonlight reflection appeared beside him likes it's never gone.'
'He looked above to talk to the moon,
but moon was hiding behind the cloud as her room.
Desperately, he walked his alley under the moon's shadow.
Quietly, moon was staring at him from her hideaway unknown.'
'Doubtful and lonely, he wondered 'bout the moon,
'I'm no more a prince, no more sprayed with fume'
'Is it why the moon hated me after i was fallen? '
'I'm no more than a frog without a crown to bring'. '

What God Wants
A torn mind of a nonbeliever-
That's what God wants-
A transmitter and a receiver-
That's what God wants.
All the bickering and the fighting-
That's what God wants-
To ignite a thought like a lightning-
That's what God wants.
I've searched a thousand faces
Just to see Him-
I've combed a thousand places
Just to feel Him.
Crowds of pompous fools
I endured
Just to find something true
And pure-
That's what God wants.
Lost in vanity and derision,
Lost in labels and hollow divisions
Of the liars whose hearts grew cold.
Authenticity-
That's what God wants-
Electricity-
That's what God wants.
Let the rain disperse all my doubts,
Let me free myself from the crowds,
Let me let myself just to be-
Letting God radiate through me.
Liberation-
This is what God wants,
Celebration-
This is what God wants-
Just to be creative and free,
Just to share God's voice through me.

Pidgeon Roost Hollow
I'm living upon Pidgeon Roost Hollow-Where the sun seldom ever shines-Trying hard to make a dollar-Working in these dreary coal mines-I'm not happy on Pidgeon Roost Hollow-Tears are streaming down my face-If I ever get enough money-I'm sure gonna leave this place-I could never find the right woman-That I wanted for my wife-I had to accept the painful truth-I'll be a batchlor all of my life-I'll travel away down south-Where the days are filled with sun-I'll try to save enough money -To buy a little home for one.

Odd Love
Glittering of the stars above,
Shadow of the pines below,
From place to place,
The wind carries the message
Of long-lasting happiness
Which fails to bridge:
The love of two lonely souls
Wandering in different ways,
Unfortunately, a vivid fact of life...
