I knew this guy a number of years ago, I wrote it after he passed away.  Charlie was a gritty, uncomplicated, true guy to me.

Lyrics
My Oklahoma

Sun it rises crossed her plain, wind rises up on her too
She holds these moments old and new
Oh My Oklahoma,,,,

She watches with her eyes of sky blue, drinks deep in the pouring rain
Her beauty eases my sorrows, my pain
Oh My Oklahoma,,,,, Oh My Oklahoma

Talk to me in your starlight, tell me it may or may it nigh
Can I touch the clouds across your sky
Can we sing a soft sleep, sweet sleep awhile,,,

She talks to me in round and square, and I wave back from the shore
Come sit down beside me just once more,
Oh My Oklahoma,,, Oh My Oklahoma

(solo,,,,,,,,)
How many secrets of you can I find,,secrets you show me time on time
Your beauty is beyond the reasons of my mind
Heart and soul,,always,,yours and mine
Let’s talk together round and square, it’s you I will forever adore
Lay down beside me  forevermore
Oh My Oklahoma,, Oh My Oklahoma

My soul will rest with you there
Oh My Oklahoma, Oh My Oklahoma

Oh my

Oklahoma,,,,,,,,,,

The Mists of Eden
We've pasted time and time pasted to this place
Sweeping running along a shared pace
All the while our moments have never left our side
And when our pasts come running back to meet us
Falling back and into our race
We can ask to keep us forward to the one love
Lift us,, from the mists of Eden
past the point of needing forgiving
past the point of reasons and time
Lift us,,,from the mists of Eden
Joins our souls meeting to one
Our time together one love
From the mists of Eden
Our rounded wheels roll swiftly forward
heading out to space
Casting our bread upon it's loving embrace
Let's take a light step forward towards the stars
Only faith in one love will heal us all
Rejoice rejoice knowing we are rising to one
Lift us,, from the mists of Eden
past the point of needing forgiving
past the point of reasons and time
Lift us,,,from the mists of Eden
Join our souls meeting to one
One time together one love
From the mists of Eden
Lift up Lift Up
singing learning bringing
time and time again
Lift up Lift Up
there's only only one love yeah
and your hearts and souls
in your souls,,,,singing,,, singing,,,,
solo,,,,,,
Lift us,, from the mists of Eden
past the point of needing forgiving
past the reasons and time
Lift us,,,from the mists of Eden
Joins our souls meeting to one
One time together one love
One love together,,,,,one love
From the mists of Eden

Lyric VOX HUMANA
For a moment, and for all eternity,,
from a distance, on a shore from a distant sea
This devotion, in this future time dreaming
Breathing voices speak of faith not believing,,not just believing
In an instant, take my hand anyway, 
Dreams will lead some and lead some away
and love's intention, that the soul will move
and flies to illusion, again illusions prove
This speaks from many souls coming nearer
Sourcing out one voice one deliverer
The page turns, and the call comes clearer
That faith heals from the fire burning deeper
Any wind blow any canto and it seems so will be so,,Vox Humana
Every time here every time clear will be sincere will so,,,,Vox Humana
It will be so,,Vox Humana,,Vox Humana, Vox Humana
Souls in revolt, and dreams of this time, 
oh sister brother, feel the love of the love divine
The wings that move, mankind and his masters, 
will just fall away, of their own disasters
No sparing, of this long lonely time, 
keep breathing with this love supreme divine
there's only motion and there is staying still 
all in mind brought forth by sheer will
The signs in the window coming clearer
In this honest time there will be no cheater
love will come from all this Redeemer
That love heals from the fire burning deeper
Any wind blows any cantos will seem so will be so,,Vox Humana
Every time here every time clear will be sincere will so,,Vox Humana
It will be so,,Vox Humana,,Vox Humana, Vox Humana
Calling,,,,,calling,,,,calling,,,,calling,,,,,,,,calling,,,,,,,,
Any wind blow any canto will seems so will be so,,Vox Humana
Every time here every time clear will be sincere will so,,Vox Humana
they will be so Vox Humana ,,they will be so Vox Humana
Vox Humana,,Vox Humana, Vox Humana,,,,,,,,

Vox Humana

Half way there and Half way home

Hearing sounds of light and healing,,,,over now and beginning again,
Never ending,,never end,,moments come shining,,,time alone,,,,

Half way there and half way gone,,,half way there and half way home,,,,,

Beauty runs it seems to and from beauty,,,and longs for reasons to live,,,
Living so  that more will give,,,longing for one heart to roam,,,,

Half way there and half way gone,,,half way there and half way home,,,,,

Dreams are shared across time and space,,space is only moments in time's embrace,,,
Embraced by the memory of a memory exploded,,,,exploded like a parade,,,this parade,,,
this parade,,

Handed to hand and handed to heart,,,lifts from illusion playing moment's next cards,,,
Speed of light shooting us back to ONE,,,allback to ONE,,all Back to ONE,,back to One,, 
Back to ONE

Sorrows smiles and tin can whispers strong,,,thin lines to and from each heart,,
In the moments,,,moments part,,,along these mountains we all roam,,,,,

Half way there and half way gone,,,half way there and half way home,,,,,
Half way there and half way gone,,,half way there and half way home,,,,,
Half way there to all the way,,,home
