It calls me again
to remember what matters.

The Call of the Heart

lyrics for the song, written by Alex Sharp Cole:


I might lose control once in awhile,
but I remember to smile
and I suffer from no denial,

but your criticism seems so small,
it seems like you don't know what matters at all
you don't know why I  
employ these methods of mine,

and if a dream is a bird in a cage
a birthday wish is a twisted gun
hey, it's no fun
to be livin' a life that's a lie, I

never needed to be number one
still I might start a rebellion, Son
or some kind of fight for the feeling inside

and that's why
I might lose control more than once in awhile my friend
but at least I remember to smile
and I remember when I was a child.

There was this story i read
when i was a kid
about a man who woke up with his boots still on in his bed.
He could not remember what he did,

there was mud on his boots
as he opened the news
to find headlines about strange crimes in the night
this witness heard a shadow laugh and sprint
but now the cops got the mad man's boot prints

so..
believe me, it scares the devil out of me too
that my mind might not know things i do
but i hope you don't mind
if i need someone sometimes

heaven knows it's true we mortals
can make immortal mistakes in this life's got no guarantees
at least we have tonight
to be true to what mind's can't define
(that's the blinding white light)

for this, i might lose control more than once in awhile
and i go with a smile
and i suffer from no denial                               

			
		 (****TRANSFORMATION COMPLETE****)


and when the dark towers over the human race
and the last trace of storm cloud departs, fading away
i will stand in the rays of the sun

when the minions of war and Wall Street are converging below
when the fires begin, i will know
that maybe it's time to come home

when the crystal machine at the core of the world
reunites all the boys and the girls in rainbows and sunlight
as their tears become pearls

then I'll walk down the desert street,
stop the first person i meet
and say thank you for being in the world

in tears, i'll tell her
i might lose control once in awhile
but i remember to smile

all i suffer from is no denial, child.


Remember to Smile

this is the original album I recorded in Mexico and Texas after driving across the country in a rusty little car that was older than I was in search of "the ideal place" to record. i can tell more about that trip for anyone who is curious
