Father from the start

I may sound sad but it’s a love song
I’d like to be there with you now
I hope some day that you will read me
to make you see why I must go

This is no easy first solution
Now I’m a hermit in his cave
I need to solve this task to heal me
I’m not a man for all to save

You’re my king –but I can’t feed you
You’re an angel inside my heart
I will always walk beside you
I’m your father from the start

I’ve been thinking of the future
Looking back at all that’s past
Remember that my loved one
My heart for you will always last

You’re my king –but I can’t feed you
You’re an angel inside my heart
I will always walk beside you
I’m your father from the start

Fly

Hey little girl there up in your window
Tell me now what you’re betraying
Sitting up there looking down at me
Seeing what you’ve grown to be

Hey little goldfish dancing in your fishbowl
Safe away from the world beyond
Life’s a three second repartee
a soft repeating melody

You are gloating -the world is new
You have made your own child in you
But your eyes must fly to see it too
This one comes out for you

Hey everybody there in the treetops
Half her lifetime she’s been climbing
Reaching with her hands up for the sky
Now it’s time to fall or fly

Fly the world is new
I have made my own child in you
I know you can see it too
This one goes out to you

The Colours that we are

I HAVE OFTEN SEEN YOU -ON THE NEWS
MAKES ME REALLY WONDER -THE WAY YOU CHOOSE
VIRTUAL AS IT SEEMS -IT’S REAL TO ME

WOMEN VEILED IN VELVET -CAN’T PRETEND
THE INNOCENCE OF CHILDREN -WILL NOT MEND
HOW COULD ANY FATHER -LET IT BE

OF ALL THE COLOURS THAT WE ARE
YOU’VE HAD YOUR WAY THIS FAR
OF ALL THE WONDERS WE COULD DO
WE STILL PAINT OUR PLANET BLUE

VEHICLES RELOADING -DID YOU SEE ME THERE
FAMILIES TOGETHER -RAISED IN FEAR
CHILDREN PLAYING WAR-GAMES -IN THE SAND

OF ALL THE COLOURS THAT WE ARE
YOU’VE HAD YOUR WAY THIS FAR
OF ALL THE WONDERS WE COULD DO
WE STILL PAINT OUR PLANET BLUE

THE COLOURS THAT WE ARE x3

I KNOW I’LL SEE YOUR COLOURS -RAINBOW WISE
THE CARE FOR ONE ANOTHER -IN YOUR EYES
EVERY MAN A STORY -TO COMPLETE

OF ALL THE COLOURS THAT WE ARE
YOU’VE HAD YOUR WAY THIS FAR
OF ALL THE WONDERS WE COULD DO
WE STILL PAINT OUR PLANET BLUE

THE COLOURS THAT WE ARE x3
WE ARE
