One More Time

I Want to Be-Short Version

RIVER OF SORROW -- very, very rough first draft

River of sorrow flowing through my heart
Your shadow presence walking through my mind
I need to move on but I don’t know where to start
River of sorrow flowing through my heart

Every day I think of you and all the things we used to do
I don’t know how to carry on 
Now that you’re gone, now that you’re gone

River of sorrow flowing through my heart
Your shadow presence walking through my mind
I need to move on but I don’t know where to start
River of sorrow flowing through my heart

Time can heal my broken heart; my memories will take me far
You always told me I am strong and you weren’t wrong, 
No, you weren’t wrong

River of sorrow flowing through my heart
Your shadow presence walking through my mind
I need to move on but I don’t know where to start
River of sorrow flowing through my heart

I know you’re watching me from heaven
And I know you don’t want me to grieve

River of sorrow flowing through my heart
Your shadow presence walking through my mind
I need to move on and I’m learning where to start
River of sorrow flowing through my heart

River of Sorrow

Written by Vicki Morrison Goble

You are my one desire
You set my heart on fire
With Your world-embracing revelation
Bahá’u’lláh

Your love is like a river
It flows and never ends
You fill my life with wonder
And make me sing again

You are my one desire
You set my heart on fire
With Your world-embracing revelation
Bahá’u’lláh

Your grace is like the sunlight;
Illumines every day
It clears away my darkness 
And I can’t help but say

You are my one desire
You set my heart on fire
With Your world-embracing revelation
Bahá’u’lláh

Your strength is like a mountain
That stands so strong and tall
You know when I’m in trouble 
And catch me when I fall

You are my one desire
You set my heart on fire
With Your world-embracing revelation
Bahá’u’lláh

You are my one desire
You set my heart on fire
With Your world-embracing revelation
Bahá’u’lláh, Bahá’u’lláh, Bahá’u’lláh

You Are My One Desire

LIFT ME UP

Give me a pure heart, a peaceful mind
Confirmation in Your path
You are the Goal of my desire
You hold me tightly, tightly, tightly in Your hand
A heart so pure it can never stray
From Your guidance, Your holy way
Lift me up, fill me with Your grace
Eternal breezes soft upon my face.

Give me a pure heart, a peaceful mind
Confirmation in Your path
You are the Goal of my desire
You hold me tightly, tightly, tightly in Your hand
A heart so pure it can never stray
From Your guidance, Your holy way

Lift Me Up

ERRATIC

Life is so erratic, it isn’t always fair
Moments flash, then fade away and vanish in the air
Every fleeting moment, captured, moving on
Random in its beauty, life, so weak, so strong

Beating hearts and brilliant smiles
Sometimes breathless for a while
Dancing, restless in the light
Gently soothing in the night

Changing like the seasons, green and fresh in spring
Growing into summer, moving us to sing
Autumn feels like dying, lovely colors fall
Stillness of the winter, hours seem to crawl

Beating hearts and brilliant smiles
Sometimes breathless for a while
Dancing, restless in the light
Gently soothing in the night

Sometimes wonder if it’s worth it, seems so hard to carry on
Still we forge ahead in earnest, hoping for a better dawn

Beating hearts and brilliant smiles
Sometimes breathless for a while
Dancing, restless in the light
Gently soothing in the night

Erratic

WE WERE YOUNG
copyright 2024 Vicki Morrison Goble

My youth is in the past; 
At the time I thought it would last forever
To my surprise time went too fast 
But that’s okay because my life kept getting better

I was young; you were young. We were invincible, powerful
I was young; you were young. We were immortal, we were young

Memories from long ago
Enchanting my life with every heartbeat
Sandy beaches, moon aglow
Dancing together in the summer heat

I was young; you were young. We were invincible, powerful
I was young; you were young. We were immortal, we were young

Yesterday swimming in the dark
We were sure we’d be going far
All the changes in our storyline
Brought us where we are and we’re doing fine

I was young; you were young. We were invincible, powerful
I was young; you were young. We were immortal, we were young

We Were Young

MY DREAM WORLD
Copyright 2024 Vicki Morrison Goble

I am held inside a love so pure
In the past I never was too sure
Now I feel so safe it makes me cry
Feel like I could float into the sky

My dream world, my fantasy
It's my turn, my sanity
My story has never been
My glory withheld within, my dream world

Come and dance with me beneath the moon
In my mind I hear a lover's tune
Enchantment all around me, soft the light
Whispers comfort me all through the night

My dream world, my fantasy
It's my turn, my sanity
My story has never been
My glory withheld within, my dream world

When the dance is done we walk away
Arm in arm we stroll toward the day
Joyful music playing in our ears
Flying with us through our golden years

My dream world, my fantasy
It's my turn, my sanity
My story has never been
My glory withheld within, my dream world

My Dream World

My Guiding Light

 
You are my guiding light
I call on you tonight
You always feel so close to me
Your memory is so bright, my guiding light

Sometimes it feels like you’re still here
With every smile, every tear
And when I feel alone and blue
It cheers me up to think of you

You are my guiding light
I call on you tonight
You always feel so close to me
Your memory is so bright, my guiding light

When darkness clouds my path
I know that it won’t last
The sun of love will shine once more
And I’ll feel better than before

You are my guiding light
I call on you tonight
You always feel so close to me
Your memory is so bright, my guiding light

You whisper in my dreams
I hear you in the breeze
Your wisdom stays with me

You are my guiding light
I call on you tonight
You always feel so close to me
Your memory is so bright, my guiding light

My Guiding Light

Play with Me

I've been watching you most every day
And I know I like the way you play
Always caring, always sharing, never dark and cold
We could play together, games would never get too old

Play with me. Come play with me.
Play with me. Come play with me.

Now and then I see you look at me
I can't help but wonder what you see
Every time our eyes connect I feel my heartbeat skip
And I hope you like me more than just a little bit

Play with me. Come play with me.
Play with me. Come play with me.

You took my hand and led me from my world of dreams
You showed me just how much it meant to play with me
Reality is better than my imagination
After all the yearning, side by side we're learning
Just how wonderful our life will be

Play with me. Come play with me.
Play with me. Come play with me.

Now You Are Here

I was once alone, back then the moon was just a moon
So much sadness in my song; I sang a lonely tune
In the dark of night, no one heard my sighs
Ooooooooooo, ooooooooo

Then you came along and filled my world with warmth and light
The moon comes out and shines for us when we walk in the night
The stars are tangible; they feel so magical
Ooooooooooo, ooooooooo

Now you are here, now you are here
I was lost and lonely till you appeared
Don’t hesitate; no need to wait
We can walk through life together, don’t be afraid
Now you are here.

 I believe that we will love eternally
Because at last you are here. 
  Oh yeah

Now you are here, now you are here
I was lost and lonely till you appeared
Don’t hesitate; no need to wait
We can walk through life together, don’t be afraid
Now you are here.

Now You Are Here

You're My Foundation

You hold me up when I might fall
When I am lost, I hear you call
You rescued me from hopelessness
And healed my wounds with tenderness

You're my foundation, my base, my stand
When I am lonely, you hold my hand
You always comfort me when I am sad
You're my foundation, my base, my stand

There was a time when I felt lost
When going on seemed too much cost
I couldn't find a way to carry on
And then you came and made me strong

You're my foundation, my base, my stand
When I am lonely, you hold my hand
You always comfort me when I am sad
You're my foundation, my base, my stand

I never thought this could happen to me
Such love, such happiness, so joyfully
I have to pinch myself to prove it's real
My world has opened up, I really feel

You're my foundation, my base, my stand
When I am lonely, you hold my hand
You always comfort me when I am sad
You're my foundation, my base, my stand
You're my foundation, my base, my stand

You're My Foundation

NEVER GIVE UP

I’ve always said I’m not a quitter, but I sometimes wonder
I never feel like I’m a winner, lost in distant thunder

I will rise; I will stand, My courage in my hand
And no matter what it takes, I’ll go on

I will never give up, With every breath and every step
I will come out on top, I’ll get there yet
[Never give up, never give up, I’ll never give up]

Even in the darkest shadow, My hope will stay alive
Whether buried deep or shallow, I’ll dig my way outside

I will rise; I will stand, My courage in my hand
And no matter what it takes, I’ll go on

I will never give up, With every breath and every step
I will come out on top, I’ll get there yet
[Never give up, never give up, I’ll never give up]

When I face adversity, When I stumble, when I fall
I will find the strength to carry on, I will rise above it all

I will rise; I will stand, My courage in my hand
And no matter what it takes, I’ll go on

I will never give up, With every breath and every step
I will come out on top, I’ll get there yet
[Never give up, never give up, I’ll never give up]

One Heart, One World
copyright 2025 Vicki Morrison Goble

VERSE 1
We're individual leaves on a single tree.
We're separate voices in a choir of humanity.
Borders that divide us; imaginary lines.
A brand new day has dawned, advancing loving, caring lives.

PRE-CHORUS 1
Though shadows fall, and the air feels cold
A single spark turns all to gold

CHORUS 1
One heart, one world, hand in hand, we rise together
Unified in vibrant goals, we face the worst of stormy weather
Sunny days not far away
The cold will warm , the darkness fade

VERSE 2
Diversity enriches us and makes our spirits glow
Like the flowers in a garden, all the colors help us grow
To make the world a better place for every beating heart
We're happier and healthier together than apart

PRE-CHORUS 2
Though shadows fall, and the air feels cold
A single spark turns all to gold

CHORUS 2
One heart, one world, hand in hand, we rise together
Unified in vibrant goals, we face the worst of stormy weather
Sunny days not far away
The cold will warm, the darkness fade

BRIDGE
All around the world someday everyone will sing
The music in our hearts will swell and make the mountains ring

CHORUS 3
One heart, one world, hand in hand, we rise together
Unified in vibrant goals, we face the worst of stormy weather
Sunny days not far away
The cold will warm, the darkness fade

MIDNIGHT MOON
copyright 2025 Vicki Morrison Goble

VERSE 1
Oh, crystal moon, you rise with grace to rule from starry height
Your silver trail on ocean waves reflects your gentle light
A night breeze whispers through the trees and echoes in my dreams
My waiting, aching heart grows more resilient in your beams

CHORUS
Midnight moon, shine so bright
Your beauty lights the sky
Your silver glow in quiet night
Becomes a lullaby
Midnight moon, sing to me
Midnight moon, sing to me

VERSE 2
No earthly tongue is ever heard among those radiant spheres,
And yet their song at midnight's hour is music for my ears.
They whisper truths of ancient paths, where destinies unfold,
But I am drifting far from shore, my story still untold.

CHORUS
Midnight moon, shine so bright
Your beauty lights the sky
Your silver glow in quiet night
Becomes a lullaby
Midnight moon, sing to me
Midnight moon, sing to me

BRIDGE
Silver glow upon the waves
A hush across the sea
You light a path through silent night
And set my spirit free

CHORUS
Midnight moon, shine so bright
Your beauty lights the sky
Your silver glow in quiet night
Becomes a lullaby
Midnight moon, sing to me
Midnight moon, sing to me

Midnight moon, guide my way
Show me where to go
Sparkling droplets on the waves
Help me find my home
Midnight moon, sing to me
Midnight moon, set me free

Midnight moon, sing to me
Midnight moon, set me free

Troubled Road (Walking into the Wind)

CHORUS
I'm-a walkin' down, down, down a troubled road
And I'm-a carry a heavy, heavy, heavy load
Can't see the stars, clouds rolling in
And I keep walking into the wind
And I'm-a walkin' down, down, down a troubled road

VERSE
With every step, I feel the pain
But don't expect me to complain
Won't let it get me down
Smile instead of frown
Cuz I'm-a walkin' down, down, down a troubled road

CHORUS

VERSE
Sighs of doubt try to hold me back
Gotta face the storm, stay on track
The road is rough
And keepin' on is tough
And I'm-a walkin' down, down, down a troubled road

CHORUS

BRIDGE
In the darkest hour when hope seems gone
I'll pick up my courage and carry on
I know the dawn is comin' and the light will shine
I gotta keep walkin' one step at a time

VERSE 1
When things get bad, too rough to bear
And I am sure that nobody cares
I go running through the dark.

VERSE 2
The night is clear; the moon is bright
I feel no fear. I trust the night
I am running through the dark.

CHORUS
My tendency is to hide from the world
The dark is my oyster and I am the pearl
It's okay to run and hide
But I have to come back inside
Eventually

VERSE 2

BRIDGE
Breezes blowing through the grass
The gentle sound is calming me.
And peace surrounds me like a blanket
Soothing me so tenderly, oh yeah

VERSE 3
I love the dark; I'm not afraid.
The earth is warm; my sorrows fade.
I am sheltered by the dark.

CHORUS

VERSE 3

I am sheltered by the dark.

THE MARK OF THE CHAIN

CHORUS
In my vision I see the mark of the chains
I touch his shoulder; I see the mark of the chains
I cry for the mark of the chains
Oh woh oo woh, the mark of the chains

VERSE 1
He could have had it all,
But he gave it up for me
Instead of wearing royal robes, 
He bore the chains to set me free

CHORUS

VERSE 2
A love has touched my soul; 
Turned a spark into a flame
And it's because of the love that in the dark of night
I seem to feel the mark of the chains
The mark of the chains

Twinkling lights rise up, they float afar
And overhead they shine like stars
Memories on the breeze

We stand and watch our mem'ries as they float away
Our hopes and sorrows shared and lifted today
Our mem'ries dance with ease, and set our spirits free
And we see

Dancing through the sky

MY LAST SONG
Music by: Vicki Morrison
Words by: Shae Hagarty

Now I must search for a way to find rest
Through death or through love, whichever is best.
My angel has left me; my people are gone.
All I have left is this, my last song.

The shadows grow deep and my time here is near
And now I must go forth without fear
For my angel has left me; my people are gone.
And all I have left is this, my last song.
And all I have left is this, my last song.
All I have left is this, my last song,
Is this, my last song.

EVERYBODY WANTS YOU, BABY

Production, guitars, mixing & mastering by Paul "Boydie" Boyd (https://soundcloud.com/boydiemusic)

CHORUS

Everybody wants to hold you, wants to squeeze you, Baby, 
But you don't want anybody but me.
Everybody wants to hold you, wants to squeeze you, Baby, 
But you don't want anybody but me.
I confess there are days I wouldn't mind sharing
But I insist it's not for lack of caring
'Cause I'm devoted to you, Baby, and I'm sure you know what I mean.

VERSE 1
I fell in love the day we met  In moments I will not forget
'Cuz no one in the world could ever be like you, oh no.
And even when you're acting rude  Or crying shamelessly for food
If you weren't in my life, I don't know what I'd do

CHORUS

VERSE 2

So quickly I saw subtle change  My life became so rearranged
In ways I had declared that I would not allow, oh no.
I loved you still and yet I cried  You pull my heart strings deep inside
And now I know I'll never wanna, never wanna put you down.

CHORUS

GUITAR SOLO

CHORUS

TAG/CODA

But you can't help it; you're only three.  You're my baby, my little chickadee.

Everybody Wants You, Baby

FOREVER TOGETHER

Give to me a rose before you walk away from me
Don't just vanish in the night as if you'd 
never existed I will always love you and I'll ever be
True to you no matter how long I

Have to wait for you to understand that you and I
Always will be truly bonded deep in our souls
I'll be waiting here for you when you come back to
Me and I will always love you

So I say to you good-bye and sweet travels
I'll be thinking ev'ry day about you
Yes, I say to you good-bye and come back to
Be with me forever together

INSTRUMENTAL

I'll be waiting here for you when you come back to
Me and I will always love you

So I say to you good-bye and sweet travels
I'll be thinking ev'ry day about you
Yes, I say to you good-bye and come back to
Be with me forever together

KEEP THE FIRE BURNING
By: Vicki Morrison

Copyright © 2015 Vicki Morrison

VERSE 1
My heart was cold, my world was dark, My life was empty, then came a spark
A spark of love, a spark of love
My heart grew warm; I saw the dawn; Within my soul, the spark grew on
The spark of love, the spark of love

CHORUS
A flame has been kindled in my soul. I was broken all in pieces, but now I'm whole
The fire burns and warms my heart. I face the world; a brand new start
Oh woh, KEEP THE FIRE BURNING

VERSE 2
I fanned the flame with deeds of gold; Don't want it to die and grow cold
Keep the fire, the fire bright
Share the flame and spread the love; We can never have enough
So keep the fire, the fire bright

CHORUS

VERSE 3
My heart is warm, my world is bright; My life is full of giving light
The fire burns, the fire burns
Happiness swells and fills my soul, Then spills from me, an outward flow
The fire burns, the fire burns

CHORUS

Keep The Fire Burning

Wall Seeker

Darkness pervades my reality. 
Mischief is everywhere I see.
Blindness mistaken for vanishing light. 
Winds of despair blowing clouds in my eyes.

Searching for wisdom, I stumble and fall. 
I flee from the watchmen, run into a wall.
There's nowhere to go; I have run out of time. 
A burst of frustration persuades me to climb.

Wall seeker, wall seeker, that's what I will be. 
The wall conceals something that's precious to me.
I need to take action; I know what to do. 
Climbing the wall is my only way through.

I'm over the wall now and to my surprise 
I find what I'm seeking, laid bare before my eyes.
My vision is sharp and my purpose is clear. 
Knowledge has helped me to sublimate my fear.

Wall seeker, wall seeker, that's what I've become. 
I've more walls to climb; there is never just one.
Guided by watchmen; each wall that I find 
Inspires me to leave my old blindness behind.

Makin' Lemonade

VERSE
It seems like everywhere I turn something new is going wrong.
If I could only get online, I'd share my feelings in a song.
I'd sing about the way one worry piles atop another.
And how I need a refuge from it all.

CHORUS
It's a Blue Day. 
Relentless troubles crowd my Blue Day.
I am drowning in my Blue Day.
Everything's been going wrong.

VERSE
I am burdened by a load of expectations I can’t meet.
Are they real or is my ego fooling me about what they really need
Sometimes I wonder what would happen if I took care of myself
Instead of always trying to fix ev’rybody else.


CHORUS	
Would I still have blue days?
Would troubles still fill my blue days?
Would I still be battered by my blue days?
Would ev’rything still be going wrong?

Cuz it’s a blue day
Relentless troubles fill my blue day
I am battered by my blue day
Ev’rything’s been going wrong.

My Blue Day

Singer longing for a romantic relationship with someone who is just not interested.

WHERE DO YOU GO, MY ROMEO?

Honey Pie, I moan and sigh, I lie awake all night
In my head I’m filled with dread, I weep.
Torn apart; I’ve pawned my heart, the ticket’s yours to keep
Will I ever, ever get to sleep

Where do you go, my Romeo? I cry for you all day.
I believe you’re avoiding me; I see you turning away.
Where do you go, my Romeo? I cry for you all day.
I believe you’re avoiding me; I see you turning away

In my dreams you come to me; your arms are open wide.
When you close them, I am safe inside.
Then reality assails me in the morning light.
I prefer the fantasy of the night.

Where do you go, my Romeo? I cry for you all day.
I believe you’re avoiding me; I see you turning away.
Where do you go, my Romeo? I cry for you all day.
I believe you’re avoiding me; I see you turning away.
You’re always turning away.
Why are you turning away?

SISSY AIN'T A BAD GIRL

Sissy ain’t a bad girl;
She’s just suff’rin’ from the summer heat! Summer heat!

VERSE
Sissy always plays a lot, and she will show you what she’s got
Especially in the summer heat.
Bikini body on the beach; you’ll see her teasing out of reach
Especially in the summer heat.

CHORUS 1
Sissy ain’t a bad girl
She’s survivin’ in a man’s world
Using just the tools she knows
Her hair, her shoes, her skimpy clothes

VERSE
Sissy’s learning what to do on the beach as well as school
Another kind of summer heat
Teachers, students, even Dad, indoctrinate what’s good and bad
And put the blame on summer heat

CHORUS 2
Sissy ain’t a bad girl.
She’s learning it’s a man’s world
And in her dorm room late at night
If anyone could hear her cry
They’d hear her asking, "Who am I?"

Sissy’s learning what to do on the beach as well as school
Another kind of summer heat
Teachers, students, even Dad, indoctrinate what’s good and bad

Sissy Ain't a Bad Girl

Your days keep rolling on; You feel the spark is almost gone
But don't worry, The good days never end

You're feeling a little scared. Go outside and breathe the air
And don't worry, The good days never end

It's not like it was before. In fact, it’s so much more
It's time to go out again And see the things from way back when.

When you find the sun has gone; Just light a candle and play along
But don't worry, The good days never end

It's not like it was before. In fact it’s so much more
It's time to go out again And see the things from way back when.

Your days keep rolling on; You feel the spark is almost gone
But don't worry, The good days never end
Don't worry, The good days never end

The Good Days Never End

I am traveling through time and space, leaving my empty past behind
Trying to remember it's not a race, looking for an encouraging sign
Have I found my destination? Will I ever really know?
I was broken and now I'm mending. I can let my honesty show.

CHORUS	
I don't mind if you walk with me
I kinda like the company
We were never meant to be alone
We're messy together cuz we're not made of stone

I’m so tired of being lonely; pain has brought me to the floor
No one’s ever really known me, but I never cared before
Time has stripped away my numbness, sees my vulnerability
I am finding strength in closeness, living less cynically

CHORUS

BRIDGE
I’ve achieved an honest freedom.  Peace and wisdom fill my mind
Now that we can walk together No one ever left behind

CHORUS x2

I Don't Mind If You Walk With Me

These songs, from an album made by David Britton and me in 2001, all have a Bahá’í flavor, but you might like some of them even if you aren’t a Bahá’í. The songwriter of each song indicated is always the person who wrote the music and sometimes the person who wrote the words. The words of “O My God” and “God Sufficeth” are from the sacred writings of the Bahá’í Faith. The words of “The Winds of Despair” are by an institution of the Faith.

Songs of the Glory

Give Us Pure Hearts, by David

His bones conceal a tale no bard could ever tell
Of how he laughed and loved; of how he fought and fell.
He died a hero; he was the last king of his kind,
But the truth gets buried if the storyteller’s blind.

Bare bones! Bare bones! We pay and display.
Bare bones! Bare bones! We pray and decay.

He fought for honor and he cut their banner down.
They heard his dying breath in every English town.
And so they butchered him while traitors stood aside.
Yet good men straight and true stayed with him as they died.


CHORUS
Bare bones! Bare bones! We pay and display.
Bare bones! Bare bones! We pray and decay.

The shattered corpse of England's King displayed for all to see.
His bones will keep their secrets ’til the truth can set him free.

CHORUS x3
Bare bones! Bare bones! We pay and display.
Bare bones! Bare bones! We pray and decay.

Witching Hour

Bare Bones

CHORUS
Mama, don't let them bury me. 
Please pick me up and carry me
Far from the cemetery.

VERSE
It's dark in here; I can hardly move, 
and I hear digging outside
Someone is whistling a mournful tune. 
I wish I was still alive.

CHORUS

VERSE
My prison is moving; I feel a bump; 
they're putting me down in the ground.
Above my head I hear a thump. 
I try to cry out loud

CHORUS x2

Far from the cemetery.

Only You

Welcome to my SoundCloud music repository! I'm so glad you stopped by. I appreciate every listen, every like, every follow, and every comment immensely. They make me feel important! :D And I always try to return the favor to those who have a musical presence here, as well! I am discovering a wealth of new music here; there are so many awesome talents I can't find anywhere else.

You will find an assortment of my music here. Some of it has been professionally produced. Some is the result of collaborations with very talented musician acquaintances who are skilled in the areas I am not: guitar, keyboards, virtual instruments, mixing, mastering, producing. The rest is a variety of simple vocal with acoustic guitar strumming that I have done myself in my tiny home studio (computer, interface, microphone).

I hope your enjoy your visit to my space on SoundCloud, and I'd love to get a "like" and a comment from you on any of my songs!
