FAWM song #2 of 2022

Words by Chandra83, music by Justin Osowieci

People see me
But they don't look
I'm the cover
Of a boring book

People take
But they don't give
I survive
But I don't live

I wish I could
Just disappear
Like a perfect pane of glass
Solid, but clear

I'm a vessel
For others needs
I gain weight
Through good deeds

My life, it seems
Should be for others
Or I will remain
Undiscovered

I wish I could
Just disappear
Like a perfect pane of glass
Solid, but clear

Clear - original collab with Chandra83

FAWM song #3 of 2022

Words by Andrea Brennan, music by Justin Osowiecki

I grew up lonely and poor
Dad left when I was just three
My mom worked day and night
I spent my time with the TV

My friends were superheroes
Always there to answer the call
Watching over the city
Fighting for justice for all

And I...
I dreamed to fly
Like a caped crusader
And in my mind
I turned wrong to right
Like a caped crusader

But dreams are just like cartoons
They're fun but they're not really true
When you can't buy your way out
The world can be so cruel

So I...
I dreamed to fly
Like a caped crusader
And in my mind
I turned wrong to right
Like a caped crusader

So I try to do little things
Drop a five in the homeless guy's can
It won't make me a hero
But maybe it'll make me a better man

Caped Crusader - original collab with Andrea Brennan

FAWM song #4 of 2022

Words by Donna Devine, music by Justin Osowiecki

V1
You've barely crept out of your seeds
And tend to your invisible needs
Drinking the rain and the sun
Now you slumber and wait
For when you awake
There’ll be much to be done

Chorus
Tiny grass
Dream on, dream on
Tiny grass
Dream on. dream on

V2
Strange to think that you sleep
While roots burrow deep
Anchoring steady and true
Now slumber and wait
For when you awake
We’ll all be counting on you

Chorus
Tiny grass
Dream on, dream on
Tiny grass
Dream on, dream on

Bridge
In the cosmic scheme of things
Even humans continue to grow
We still have a long way to go
And like you, tiny grass
...Though it might seem absurd
We are dreaming
And we must not be disturbed

Chorus
Tiny grass
Dream on, dream on
Tiny grass
Dream on, dream on
Your role is grand
In Nature’s plan

Tiny Grass - collab with Donna Devine

Anywhere, anyway you are
All in good time
With a word, whether near or far
All in good time

Whispered on a gentle breeze
All in good time

When I'm alone
My thoughts return to you
When I'm alone I can hear
You silently drawing near
In time

Scattered leaves of red and brown
Tattered dreams swept off the ground

When I'm alone
My mind returns to you
When I'm alone I can tell
The sound that I know so well
When I'm alone I can here
You silently drawing near
In time

All in Good Time

My take on a Mont-Solliu original for the Muse Songwriters Cover Challenge 2023, which ended up being more of a rewrite than a true cover. Here is his version.

I...
Have found a new meaning
Thought I wanted something sure
But I wanted something felt

I...
Cleared the ashes of my being
And all I found remained
Was to be with you again

Though it might be passing through
Though it might come back renewed
Though it might be stealing the words I believed in
(Repeat)
 
I went for the love
My family went in black
This death filled my lungs
Carve another epitaph

I....
Have found it reeling
That I just can’t explain
How I dry but blood remains

I... I... I...
Can’t seem to look at you
But I can’t seem to tear myself away

Though it might be passing through
Though it might come back renewed
Though it might be stealing the words I believed in
(Repeat)
 
And if you look for me
Ignore the reprove
And if you don’t turn out a
Record of rectitude
They call us fallen demons
Then kick away the ladder
Point again
And mock us like we’re suckers

Cello, violin, banjo and backing vocals by Ron Hazelton

Can you sing along with my hands
Sing along with my fingers
Sing along with my hands
Sing along with my fingers

Won't you move around with my voice
Move around with my singing
Move around with my voice
Move around with my singing 

All we are, all we are
All we'll ever be
Is here inside, deep within
Our lifetime seed

Will you soar along with my strings
Soar along with their ringing
Soar along with my strings
Soar along with their ringing

Can you spin around with our song
Spin around with our playing
Spin around with our song
Spin around with our playing

All we are, all we are
All we'll ever be
Is here inside, deep within
Our lifetime seed

Can you sing along with my hands
Sing along with my fingers
Sing along with my hands
Sing along with my fingers

All in Good Time
