I'll always be caught within the memories we made
The soulful sound of music as night arose from day
Kind hearts and heavy laughter singing for miles
Never needing a destination, such elation
Our only worry where we'd find a gas station
Never meant to travel far from home, not our style

I'd find these memories passed on
Halted and held, forever wished upon
An upper body ballroom in the seats behind
These are the dreams I wanted to find, open skies
No matter the image I found, the oldest presence, a gift
This ghost in the shadows of the pillars, lights pass and it shifts

I'll always be caught within the memories we made
Learning about love from friends as the music played
Breathing sighs as we realized the time flew by
Ever reading life's design, when we'd find the time
It never really mattered who found the first dime
Raise the fuel gauge once more, the highway's dry

Making poor life choices, hopping mounds
Drifting circles round, dust and dirt the gravel bounds
Only for a moment was this the life to gleam
It was important for a time to chase his dream
Here and now is passion in these open skies
Not mine and I am nothing without your shining eyes
Nothing without your song, without our words
I'd muffle the world just to find them heard

I remember being caught in the memories we made
Now so quickly fading with the songs no longer played
It's time to breathe and open my own eyes
Time is fleeting, and there's no defeating it
Just one choice in how we see to meeting it
Upon the wings of angels could our future soon arise
Embrace the dream, set your sights and sever ties
Because time will wait for no one and I dream of open skies

One was over many more, a knock on the door
Is it worth it when this ends, don't pretend
Powering through whether disliked or feared
To reach a dream as yet shown, still unknown
There's not much pursuasion to hold it all dear
For a seed that has yet to be sewn
With time I should learn that a life can be earned
All things can be managed and tolerance learned
Til then is the need for a moment of pause
All friendship and guidance, defined without claws
I must relearn the steps, the ones that have gone
The ghosts of connections once relied upon
As though I'm reborn, brought forth in due time
These are still only wishes recorded in rhyme
A decade of nothing, a decade has passed
A few more years followed, with nothing once asked
Existing in solitude, divided from all
Avoiding the earth, never hearing His call
I've since found my place in an ocean of love
Heaven has blessed me with joy from above

Passion, compassion, heartache and blood
Your fashions that injured me rising above
I am my own man and I'll be as I am
I'm more of the kind who watches Kablam
No floor to my foot, throttle in hand
So much more to this than you understand
Attempted to turn me into a niche
Well, now I will prove that I don't need your leash
Love is a drug, the only one needed
Hearts filled with joy cannot be defeated
Bitter and spiteful, slicked back like Travolta
Never for me to be one to insult ya
You have your love and I will have mine
Causing a smile in our young hearts, divine
You can be cool, and I will be happy
Causing a smile cause each one does entrap me
My hair is not short, nor shall it be ever
Down to my elbows, it should be forever
You can be less than impressed with this statement
But I see all your dressage as unpleasant relatement
Now all of this blandness and all of this fault
Is thrown to the wind like the roads take the salt
I am in love with the person I am
For all of your wanting I steady my hand
My home is within me and this will not change
You'll now and forever accept me as strange
