See the world
through a child’s eyes
Images of big dreams from a child’s mind
Imagination is god but it’s child-like
Young Einstein’s the relativity of life
Started out with nothing but a mic and dream
Writing ‘bout the colourful enigmas I’ve seen
Never thought in this life I’d make it to the screen
Not knowing that each line was writing my destiny
Faith guided a misfit addicted to the mischief
Grew up in this gravel pit made my skin thick
Boulevards of shattered dreams the story was vile
Dusty dirt tracks walking a broken mile
Wide eyed and jaded just biding the time
Hoping for that sunshine holding a crooked smile
Lessons came in blessings poetry in its essence
Life’s gifts sweet lady, yes, I finally get it
Nanas prayers answered yes, we saw heaven
That serenade just beautifully playing
And then in time I watched it all play out
Blueprints of my legacy created the layout
The knowledge of youth in my moment of dawn
In those single moments when my daughters were born
Keep my crowns of thorns worn on every song
So, the children may never have to live this life torn
Those pretty pedals are poetry on a sainted heart
So, I thank you with my opus to share my heart
Thank you for the moments that made my start
I am grateful in this life I could play my part
I am grateful in this life I could play my part
Now watch this movie fade to black “Black....Black.....Black.....Black”
This when dreams become nightmares the drama it brings
See emotions oscillate like when the pendulum swings
The sin when popularity is the core of the saga
Pray that your karma bring order to the drama
the line is finite between success and fame
In the game of broken thrones even kings become slaves
It’s hard to elude in this Rubik’s cube
Who’s the shark and who’s the food
Who is prophet, who is fool
Mr Soul repo altering your cerebral
Kill my own ego rebirth as the eagles
The answer to the mystery fittingly an Enigma
With that oxymoron I leave you the clear picture
“Fade to black - Black....Black.....Black.....Black”
“Fade to black - Black....Black.....Black.....Black”
“Fade to black - Black....Black.....Black.....Black”
