New Song - Relativity

Relativity

In the sunlight

The wind whisper is soft

Beside me

A bird in flight

Wings spread held aloft

Floating lightly

Above the land

Above the sea

Over everything and me

Beneath my feet the earth seems still

Don’t feel a thing

Don’t hear a sound

Only relativity

In the deep blue sky

On the sunlit ground

Only relativity

We were younger

So lost in our love

Together

Wild blue yonder

And the universe above

Stretched forever

Fresh from the endless history

Into the future’s mystery

Where only aerial dreams are possible

We travel through this space and time

Controlled by relativity

Longing for what we left behind

Consoled by relativity

On and on we tell ourselves to look behind the reasons

But the reasons don’t mean anything at all

In the heavens

Stars and black holes

Kinetic

The connection

Between two souls

Magnetic

I live I feel the gravity

That draws you near to me

But only perceive through the physical

A world beyond material

Only relativity

Bodies gone, all that’s real

Would just be relativity

Unrestrained, no boundaries

Just free, relativity

No pain, just peace

Relativity

Airport Burrito - Lyrics

Airport Burrito

Airport
burrito

Salsa and lime

Spent a day in California

Just passing the time

Gridlock freeway

Hundred dollar cab

Considering the traffic

That’s really not bad

Now the habanero sauce is burning my mouth

Got heartburn from my dreams on the journey down south

Now every bone in my body just wants to get out

Airport burrito

Salsa and lime

Is believing in something

Really a crime?

Okay well I guess so

If you knew it was wrong

And then you go ‘head

And talk yourself into going along

Had a beat up old suitcase got lost on the way

I had packed up all the reasons I thought I needed to stay

But now I can’t unwrap all them beans in just one day

Airport burrito

Salsa and lime

Just a backpack, a ticket

And a plate of forced rhyme
