| Hutch's Prayer: I do believe Inspired by Sweet Revenge God, are you listening? Why did this happen? He needs you now. Please help him. How can there be a God? You made him in your image You sent him to me Why do you have to take him now? Oh God, I do believe Please don't take him I need him more than you do. Starsk? Starsky?? He's awake!! Oh God, I do believe! Thank-you I'll take good care of him. |
Let Me Protect You I can feel your sadness and your fear Take my love and wrap it around you like a cloak Hold it close to you and let me protect you When darkness falls and the troubled waters rise Let the love shining in my eyes be your beacon My hand on your shoulder will calm the seas and bring you home When you've lost your way and the silence is deafening Open your mind and listen for the sound of my heart beating Let my soul join with yours and you will never be alone |
Maybe Next Year Starsky singing "Rudolf the Rednose Reindeer" Visions of euphoric sentimentalism rush through his head A time long past, promises not kept The true meaning of Christmas lost Maybe next year? Seven years old, sitting at the piano "Rudolf the Rednose Reindeer" brings a smile A mothers words, "Kenny, you're much too good for that." "But I want to play, mother. It's fun. Oh, all right." Maybe next year? Thirteen years and growing, watching the falling snow. "Grandpa and I are going to get a tree, Dad, want to come?" "I'm sorry, I mean... father. Will you come?" Too many promises to keep. More important things to do. Maybe next year? Eighteen and grown, world-weary and sad. "Didn't you like the car? The best money can buy." "I don't understand you. What more do you want?" "Just your love, Dad. I'm sorry, I mean... father." Maybe... next year? |
| My Love (Inspired by "Starsky's Lady") Are you there? I'm looking for you. Can you see me? I miss you. You promised you'd always be there. Will you keep your promise? Wait for me. I'll be there someday. Can you feel me? I close my eyes and I can feel your touch. Your hands on my face like a breath from an angel. Why did they take you from me? If there is only one true love in each life There will be no more in mine. What am I to do? Do I live my life alone waiting for the day we meet again? I see your face in the stars. I hear your voice in the gentle wind. I feel your touch in the warm spring rain. Your love shines down on me. Sleep well, my love. I will wake you soon. |
Death's Door Light warms my chilled blood Still, I yearn for sleep Life's struggles weaken me The will to fight is gone In the darkness, there is no pain The serenity of death seduces me Desperate words fall from above Piercing the armor of death's repose A plea to fight this body's betrayal And return to the one who holds my soul Yet, I'm loathe to leave night's comfort And return to the battle once more What good can come When innocence is lost? What hope When dreams die? Can the goodness in you Give me the strength I need? I feel the sorrow in your mind Your loving hands touch me I cannot leave you to carry on alone With you by my side my courage returns With your love as my shield I will live to fight again |
Darkness I'm scared. I cover my eyes So I can't see their faces I cover my ears So I can't hear the screams I don't let myself feel Their pain is too much to bear Evil stands before me on two legs An inverted cross on his head like a shield. He wants the other half of my soul Can he make it his? He stole the music in my heart Can I ever get it back? I'm scared Simon Simon Simon |

| When We're 64 (inspired by the song, "When I'm 64", by The Beatles) When we're 64 and our job is done Will I still see you smile? Will I feel your hand on my shoulder? And will our hearts still beat as one? When we're 64 and we look back on yesterday Will we think of all the time we spent together? Will we remember the good times or bad? Or remember the love for each other that we always had? When we're 64 and our grandchildren sit on our knee Will we tell them stories of the good that we did? Will we tell them how we stood side by side? And pass to them the legacy of me and thee? We've been through so much together So many years filled with heartache and pain As long as you were still by my side I'd do it all over again. |
