Piano piece, vocals, and synth tracks. I like it just fine without guitars, bass or drums.

Weight of The World

I don’t want to find myself
	in the company of fools. 
Nothing ever resonates
	in the echo of their rules.
Excuse me if I hesitate,
	or fail to compromise.
I’m not going to lay down . . .
	in a bloody bed of lies!
 
Hey, Just a little empathy.
Listen to my story if you please.
Try to count to ten before you speak.
Look into my eyes, What do you see?
Do you really think it’s me?
Oh tell me what you see . . .

‘Cuz Iv’e been down
	from the weight of the world,
I’m beside myself and . . .
	I don’t wanna’ burn.
Put out the fire! . . .
	but don’t turn out the lights!
Just watch out for those demons . . . 
	as we slip into, slip into the night.

I don’t wanna’ play the fool no more.
	Don’t want to dream forever.
If it’s not too late to clear the air,
	It’s not too late . .  
to say Never say Never. 
	Say never again.

‘Cuz Iv’e been down
	from the weight of the world,
I’m beside myself . . .
	and I don’t wanna’ burn.
Put out the fire! . . .
	but don’t turn out the light!
Just watch out for that demon . . . 
	as we slip into, slip into the night.  

What act of kindness 
	can cure my blindness now?
God, show me the truth
	as I kneel before you now.
Heaven help us! 
	I see too many souls in pain.
But conscience tells me . . .
	Just . . Stay in the game!

 Hey, Just a little empathy.
Listen to my story if you please.
Try to count to ten before you speak.
Look into my eyes, What do you see?
Do you really think it’s me?
Oh tell me what you see . . .

‘Cuz Iv’e been down
	from the weight of the world,
I’m beside myself and . . .
	I don’t wanna’ burn.
So put out the fire! . . .
	Don’t turn out the lights!
Watch out for those demons . . . 
	as we slip into, slip into the night.

Limousine Dream
Lyrics and Music: Ron Wrolson
Published by ZenSongs Music - ©2022

2 a.m., Eyes open, 
Sittin’ here wishin’ and a-hopin’ that you'll call.
Quit stalling! I ain’t fallin’ for another line, 
a diamond alibi.
Hey Baby, What’s shakin’?
I’m givin’ and you’ been takin’!
I’m patient, I’m on station by the curbside.
Let me take you for a ride.

Limousines and magazines, well they got you girl, 
(In between the lines)
Starstruck! I’m outta’ luck!
Come on and rock my world!
(Running out of time)
Things ain’t always what they seem . . .
‘Can’t wake up . . .
from this Limousine Dream.

When I met ya’, 
I coulda’ bet ya was a movie star.  
A real hottie, a little naughty like a fast car.
Gold digger, a hair-trigger with an appetite, 
You’re in the market, a new target on the hunt tonight.

I’ve had enough! Your kind of love is like a falling star!
(burning in the night)
I’m here and you’re so far away.
(slippin’ out of sight)
Things aren’t really what they seem . . .
in this Limousine Dream!

(bridge solo)

2 a.m., Eyes open, 
Sittin’ here wishin’ and a-hopin’ you’ll call.
Quit stalling! I ain’t fallin’ for another line, 
No “diamond alibis”
Hey Baby, What’s shakin’?
Im givin’ and you’ been takin’!
So patient, I’m on station by the curbside.
Wanna’ take you for a ride.

Limousines and magazines, well they got you girl, 
(In between the lines)
Starstruck! I’m outta’ luck!
Come on and rock my world.
(Running out of time)
Things ain’t always as they seem,
but I can’t wake up! 
from this Limousine Dream.

Dream 27
Lyrics and Music: Ron Wrolson
Arrangement and All Instrumentation: Ron Wrolson

Shanghai-ed to Shangri-La above the cloud abyss.
Strange the satisfaction in stories such as this.
I peer into the spectacle outside my fated plane.
Caught between the wonderment and the fear that I disdain.

Slipping the bonds of conscious gravity,
depravity, and the gathering gloom.
In the sanctuary of nameless waves so distant from the shore,
A new flag flies above the realm awaiting to be unfurled.

Welcome to Infinity!
Divinity is scattered in the stars.
My grey skies break into Delphinium blue.
They say there’s really nothing new . . .
on this side of the moon.

(Guitar solo)

“Whatever happens in Foreverafter . . .” 
said the Bumblebee to the young Dandelion.
“It’s hardly a mystery, son, at the heart of the matter.
To live with open eyes, to rise and to shine, 
Just enjoy the ride.”

Welcome to Infinity!
Divinity is scattered in the stars.
My grey skies break into Delphinium blue.
They say there’s really nothing new . . .
on this side of the moon.

Welcome to Infinity!
Divinity is scattered in the stars.
My point of view so intentional,
unconventional, but then again . . . 
There’s always something left for me to do.

Dream 27*

All I wanted was love,
All you wanted was a way out.
I was looking for an all time high,
You were looking for a way to fly.

I remember your eyes,
They were shining like the moonlight.
You were looking through the stars above,
Were you looking for a different kind of love?

What did you feel there?
Nirvana never seemed so far away.
What did you see there?
Is Alice in the looking glass today?

I was watching you cry,
It seems they never made this world for you.
You were chasing some forgotten dream,
Whoever told you there was more to life? It’s true!

I was looking for you
the night you rode upon a falling star.
I found you lying in the dead of night,
I guess you finally hitched a ride on a satellite.

What did you feel there?
Nirvana never seemed so far away.
What did you see there?
Is Alice in the looking glass today?

Heighty-Hi, Heighty-Hey!
Here today, 
and gone tomorrow!

(Guitar Solo)

All I wanted was love,

I guess you finally hitched a ride on a satellite.

What did you feel there?
Nirvana never seemed so far away.
What did you see there?
Is Alice in the looking glass today?
What did you feel there?
Nirvana never seemed so far away.
What did you see there?
Is Alice in the looking glass today?

Heighty-Hey!
Here today, 
Heighty-Ho!
Gone tomorrow!
