My Spirit’s Fire

[Verse 1] 
I feel so lost in a sea of variables, 
My tangled thoughts seem so unbearable, 
Life’s weight, dulls my spirit’s shine, 
Lost in shadows, a muted line. 
The currents swirl, no footing stays, 
My inner fire wanes in the haze, 
I search for one to still the storm, 
A steady light in human form. 

[Chorus] 
Longing for a constant’s call, 
A voice to light my spirit’s fire, 
With strength to rise, my light shines forth, 
To become who I was meant to be. 

[Verse 2] 
Others criticized my own pace, 
Adrift where dreams lost every trace, 
But you met me where I stood, 
Seeing potential where I saw no good. 
Your calm ignites with every word, 
A constant guide, my vision stirred, 
You lift my gaze, I start to see, 
A power born to set me free. 

[Bridge] 
Oh, through the chaos, your peace prevails, 
Sparking my flame where doubt assails, 
A road unfolds with every breath, 
Courage grows beyond my depth. 

[Verse 3] 
The world still shifts, its variables churn, 
But with your light, my lessons learned, 
An inferno roars to forge my might, 
Mastering all, doing what is right. 
False evidence appearing real, 
Afraid no more is how I feel, 
I’ve seen the light, my path is clear, 
Belief in self erases fear. 
[Melodic Interlude]

[Bridge] 
Oh, when challenged, your wisdom I recall, 
Lighting my way where shadows fall, 
I see the truth, my strength takes root, 
Ready to stand on my own pursuit. 

[Verse 4] 
In darkness deep, I wait in vain, 
No rescue comes to ease the strain, 
Alone I stand, no hand to hold, 
My light must rise; I break the mold. 
[Percussion Break] 
Your guidance lit my inner spark, 
Now I ignite my own bold arc, 
Strength swells within, I lead my way, 
A fire born to light my day. 

[Chorus] 
Longing for a constant’s call, 
A voice to light my spirit’s fire, 
With strength to rise, my light shines forth, 
To become who I was meant to be. 
[Melodic Interlude, Percussion Break] 

[Outro] 
The storm fades at the break of day, 
My inner flame lights my own way, 
Now a constant in the sea of variables, 
I found my light...

and became who I was meant to be.

My Spirit's Fire

A haunting indie ballad drifting through a quantum abyss of variables and probabilities, where consciousness seeks a lost reality amid mathematical wonders.

******************************

Lost Reality

[Intro]
Numbers swirl in endless dance,
Equations whisper, haunting trance,
Lost in a sea of variables,
Drifting through the intangible.

[Verse 1]
Fractals bloom in my mind's eye,
Dimensions shift as time flies by,
Quantum waves crash all around,
In this realm where logic's drowned.

[Chorus]
Caught between the real and unreal,
Consciousness expands, I feel
Adrift in fields of probability,
Searching for my lost reality.

[Verse 2]
Symbols morph and rearrange,
Laws of physics seem so strange,
Infinite possibilities unfold,
As mathematical truths take hold.

[Verse 3]
But in this abstract landscape vast,
I feel my sense of self surpassed,
Struggling to find my way back home,
Through equations, I must roam.

[Chorus]
Caught between the real and unreal,
Consciousness expands, I feel
Adrift in fields of probability,
Searching for my lost reality.

[Verse 4]
I trace the paths where numbers lead,
Dead ends loom where hope recedes,
Deeper still in equations’ maze,
Farther lost in the matrix waves.

[Chorus]
Caught between the real and unreal,
Consciousness expands, I feel
Adrift in fields of probability,
Searching for my lost reality.

[Outro]
Will I find the path again?
Or forever lost in this quantum den?
Caught between the real and unreal,
Desperately trying to find my way back home.

Home...

******************************

Creation's Play

[Verse 1] 
What odds brought me here, so small, so rare, 
A speck of dust in everywhere, 
The chance to stand on this living ground, 
A miracle in every sight and sound. 
From silence deep where time was none, 
A cosmic dance in the void begun, 
The Big Bang sparked, a fiery start, 
A thread of life within my heart.

[Chorus]
Oh, the wonders weave, so grand, so fine,
Through chaos’ chance, the stars align,
Grateful I stand, alive today,
A link in the chain of creation’s play.
[Melodic Interlude]

[Verse 2]
Galaxies swirled, the Sun’s flame transformed,
A solar system’s dawn, our home was born,
Earth and Moon in a tender hold,
A cradle formed from dust of old.
The planet cooled, a spark took flight,
Life arose in the endless night,
One shift, one breath, the math decrees,
A butterfly’s wing changed destinies.

[Chorus]
Oh, the wonders weave, so grand, so fine,
Through chaos’ chance, the stars align,
Grateful I stand, alive today,
A link in the chain of creation’s play.
[Percussion Break]

[Verse 3]
Through ages vast, the species grew,
Ancestors fought what wars once knew,
Famines raged, yet hope survived,
A lineage where my soul arrived.
Each choice, each chance, a fragile thread,
Sensitivity where futures spread,
One tiny change, a different me,
Yet here I am, so wild, so free.

[Chorus]
Oh, the wonders weave, so grand, so fine,
Through chaos’ chance, the stars align,
Grateful I stand, alive today,
A link in the chain of creation’s play.
[Melodic Interlude, Percussion Break]

[Verse 4] 
With every breath, my fervent prayer,
To guard this world where futures fare,
From ancient past to mor-row’s call, 
Our journey’s shared with one and all. 
This gift of life, in our hands we hold, 
Through time eternal, we create the mold, 
To shape a destiny, where life will thrive, 
With the glory just to be alive.

[Chorus]
Oh, the wonders weave, so grand, so fine,
Through chaos’ chance, the stars align,
Grateful I stand, alive today,
A link in the chain of creation’s play.

[Outro]
So raise your gaze to the skies above,
For every moment, every love,
The math of life, a wondrous art,

I’m thankful for…

this beating heart.

Callin' of the Boogah Man

[Intro]
The Boogah Man
Woo-oo, woo-oo!
Callin’ of the Boogah Man.

The Boogah man will get 'cha if you don't watch out!

[Verse 1]
When the evening shadows
come a-gliding down,
Falling black and heavy
Over hill and town,
If you listen careful,
Careful as you can,
So's you bound to notice...

shhhh...

silence...

There's a dropping pin.

Then you'll hear a funny,
Sound across the land;

Woo-oo, woo-oo!

Lay low...

That's the calling...
of the Boogah Man!

[Chorus]
Woo-oo, woo-oo!
Hear him as he go along the way;
Woo-oo, woo-oo!
Don't you wish the night would turn to day?
Woo-oo, woo-oo!
Hide your eyes behind your hands;
Woo-oo, woo-oo!
Callin’ of the Boogah Man

[Verse 2]
When the wind's a shivering
through the gloomy lane,
and there comes a pattering
of the evening rain,
When the owl's a hooting
out there in the woods,
Don't you wish, my honey,
that you had been good?
There ain't no use to try to
Snuggle up, 
Hide!
if you can...

Woo-oo, woo-oo!

Bless you...

that's the calling...
of the Boogah Man.

[Chorus]
Woo-oo, woo-oo!
Hear him as he go along the way;
Woo-oo, woo-oo!
Don't you wish the night would turn to day?
Woo-oo, woo-oo!
Hide your eyes behind your hands;
Woo-oo, woo-oo!
Callin’ of the Boogah Man

[Someone Shouts]
Uh Oh, It's the Boogah Man!
Everybody Run!

[Bridge - Boogah Man Rap]
I'm the Boogah Man and I'm goin' to get cha'
No use in hidin' 'cause I'm always wit' cha',
I know where you live, I know where you are,
'Cause you opened a door, and you can't run far,
I see your secrets, I know your despair,
I lurk in shadows, I ride the night air,
Just look in a mirror, and then you'll see me.
Cause you've been bad...
and that set me free.

[Verse 3]
If you loves your mom,
and you minds your dad,
if you try to be,
more good than bad,
if you say your prayers,
every single night,
Before you tucks the covers
and puts out the light,
Then the rain can patter,
Wind blow like a fan,
But you need not bother,
about the Boogah Man!

[Chorus]
Woo-oo, woo-oo!
Hear him as he go along the way;
Woo-oo, woo-oo!
Don't you wish the night would turn to day?
Woo-oo, woo-oo!
Hide your eyes behind your hands;
Woo-oo, woo-oo!
Callin’ of the Boogah Man

[Outro]
Woo-oo, woo-oo!
Callin’ of de Boogah Man.
The Boogah man will get 'cha if you don't watch out!
...

Boogah!
