Love, Peace, and Happiness

This is the first song I ever wrote that I remember..from back in 1994.

Water

Verse 1
Time passes by as slowly as winter today
Too much on my mind and I can’t seem to find my way

Pre-Chorus
It’s never any fun
When you’re the only one

Chorus
You’d kill me if you could but I’m too young to die
You see right through me so I can’t run and hide
Step on a crack and I’m fading away
Okay, ooh, water

Verse 2
Prismed eyes shatter and my nerves are paralyzed with fear
Deep inside my head something snaps and then nothing’s there

Pre-Chorus
I can’t escape this pain
It’s with me every day

Chorus
You’d kill me if you could but I’m too young to die
You see right through me so I can’t run and hide.
Step on a crack and I’m fading away
Okay, ooh, water

Bridge

Verse 3
Time passes by and I spread like ash in the wind
Still life simplified and I find a way to deal with it.

Pre-Chorus
I try to wash away the pain
I’ll never be the same

Chorus
You’d kill me if you could but I’m too young to die
You see right through me so I can’t run and hide
Step on a crack and I’m fading away
Okay, ooh, water

Water

This is a song about depression and survival. 

When I wrote it I still had another 25 years of surviving it ahead of me. But I'd made a decision years before, when I was 14, that no matter how bad it got it would always get better, sooner or later. And it always did, at least for a while. And knowing that somehow made it just a little bit easier to smile.


[This is a new mix. Drums by John Bennetts have been added and everything else has been changed, at least a little.]

Verse 1:
It’s more than a song
But less than a dream
I know what I say
Is not what I mean
Pretending my words
Aren’t meant to deceive
I’m playing with doubt
I want to believe

I know that it’s hard
To explain why I’m here
I complain though I know
There is nothing to fear
But the fear and the doubt
That wind through my mind
Are inventions of mine
That help pass the time

Chorus:
So here is my song
I wrote it for me
I need to recall
That it’s easy to be
The times that I’ve faced
My life as a trial
Have taught me to see
That it’s easy to smile

Verse 2:
I’m more than a child
But less than a man
I know where I’ve been
But not who I am
I'll say that I'm strong
I'll tell you I’m free
But none of that's true
I just want it to be

Once I entered a room
I pulled down the shade
I turned out the lights
I wanted to fade
But I noticed the wall
Right there looking at me
Pretending to be blind
I really wanted to see

Chorus:
So here is my song
I wrote it for me
I need to recall
That it’s easy to be
The times that I’ve faced
My life as a trial
Have taught me to see
That it’s easy to smile

Verse 3:
It all seemed to happen
A while ago
At a time I was lost
I just didn’t know
That doubting was simply
A game that I had
It gave me a reason
For feeling this bad

There are times there are changes
My memory moves
Preaching the patterns
I’ve worn into grooves
Repeating mistakes
I made in my youth
Learning the lines
And calling them truth
I can’t help but change
Can't help but survive
I might drown in doubt
But I'll still be alive

Chorus:
So here is my song
I wrote it for me
I need to recall
That it’s easy to be
The times that I’ve faced
My life as a trial
Have taught me to see
That it’s easy to smile

Easy to Smile
