Little Men (Swansong)



You might stare down a winding road
but its nothing there
will you fight on?
will you still care?
Little men can not be kings
and everything i believe is little
Eden, she said her name was Eden
and everything i knew became a riddle

I simply dont understand
what it takes to be a man
in a world where
the right girl's stare
can mean the difference
between pride and poverty
Maybe its a country song
could show me where i'm going wrong
teach me how to be little properly

Eden, she said her name was Eden
but could an angel ever love a heathen?
Even a little man feels a little lonely
its such a huge world
its like my little owns me
cos right now
i'm like how?
how?
how?
how do i stop so being little?

She said her name was Eden
but she refused to sing
i guess this makes us even
her song's for you, my king.

"Message Not Sent... Saved to Outbox to Retry Later..."

Less of me
more of we
there's no getting passed compromise
but your eyes...
the rising sun envies your eyes
and i sympathise with the sun's envy
so maybe compromise is somewhere in me
that keeps you from walking away
when all i need is for you to stay
because your eyes...
your eyes grow wings on butterflies
humming birds sing them lullabies
nestled in the branches of a sycamore tree


if more of we
means less of me
then this is how i want to wake up
compromise is for the sunrise in your eyes




I should have charged my battery... dont let it end like this... Please... Just me.

My God!


"What about God?"
Yeah...
What about Him?
Look if God is GOD,
why leave reason to doubt Him?
You might think you know where i'm coming from
but maybe i'm on my way coming home
when God says,"Let there be light..."
why not just say,"Let there be RIGHT!!!...
and nothing else!!!"
these are some of the questions i ask myself
because blind faith doesn't bode well for my odds
there's a reason blind men have guide dogs
so who am i to ask "Why God?"
Why NOT???
Of course mysterious way will lead to questions


but please
spare me your suggestions
cos when you ask me, "What about God?"
I say, "What about Him?...
What am i without Him?"


Yes... i not only believe in but actually have MUCH love for the Big Man in the Sky... J.R.

Voicemail 1

Hey... you there?
love never plays fair
and you could get your heart broken
but true courage is in learning to re-open
to the possibility of a kiss to change it all
even though nothing ever really changes
just cos a situation re-arranges
doesn't mean who you become
wasn't always inside you
you simply decide to
listen to a part of yourself you've kept hidden
lay ground to a path long-forbidden

because you're disillusioned by the rules
that govern fools
and stifle re-invention
maybe change was never even your intention
but you heard on the news that Johnny got shot
he was a good man
so maybe this moment's all we've got...

i guess what i called to say
is do you have any plans later on today?

Seriously... Call me back...
