Two Seconds Too Many
                                    wds&music Gary M.Wollman

Took two seconds too many
Had we made a decision
Would’ve never gone bust

Two seconds too many
Instead the gold has disappeared
and turned to dust

Left to too much hesitation devastation
Endless frustration
and a ration of dust



Why was I undecided?
How were we so immune
to the chorus of cries

It’s not as if it hadn’t happened before
Why did we ignore all
the warning signs?

Though it should come to us as no surprise
You’d think that after all this time
we’d have been so much more wise

Two Seconds Too Many


Two seconds too many 
Needlessly waited too long
 for all mankind

Pick one moment…any
All the love that could’ve been won
both yours and mine

Deem it uncanny
but all the hope in the world
should never be reduced undone
or run out of time

WALK ALONG THE BORDER                1
words and music by GARY WOLLMAN

IT’S OKAY – THE TIME IS RIGHT
YOU CAN HANG – SO HANG ON TIGHT
BUT YOU LOOK ABOUT 
AND IT ALL SEEMS SO WRONG

YOU’VE GOT TO THINK THAT 
        YOU CAN MAKE A GO OF IT
TOO MANY WANNABEES LOSE THEIR WAY 
TO MAKE A SHOW OF IT
DON’T SEEM TO MATTER WHAT’S RIGHT
MORE IMPORTANT TO SEEM   
MIGHTY AND STRONG

AS I WALK ALONG THE BORDER
SENSE THE WORLD’S DISORDER
CAN’T HELP THINKIN' WHY
IT COULDN’T WORK OUT ANY OTHER WAY
AS I WALK ALONG THE BORDER

ALL ON A WALK ALONG THE BORDER
A WALK ALONG THE BORDER

        

SACRIFICE TO SEE BOTH SIDES
RIGHT WHERE THEY MEET ALONG THE BORDERLINE
DOWN MOST ANY ROAD OR STREET
IT’S A CINCH WE’LL AVOID DEFEAT
WHEN WE SEEK TO CROSS THE DIVIDE

PRESENTIN’ WEAPONS DISPLAYED SO PROUD
CONTEMPLATIN’ HEAVEN 
WHILE WE WATCH JUST WHERE WE’RE STEPPIN’
AS WE WALK ALONG THE BORDER

I WALK LONGER – I WALK FARTHER
I DREAM HARDER SORTA
AS I WALK ALONG THE BORDER

SENSE THE WORLD’S DISORDER
CAN’T HELP THINKIN' WHY
IT COULDN’T WORK OUT ANY OTHER WAY
AS I WALK ALONG THE BORDER

BEEN CLIMBIN’ ON VINES
MADE WISE BY DESIGN
DESTINED TO BEHOLD BETTER TIMES

BUT I CAN’T HELP THINKIN’ WHAT COULD BE IN STORE CAN’T TAKE ANYMORE
NUCLEAR WAR – JUNGLES LEFT SCORCHED
MORE DIVORCE – ANOTHER HOSTAGE LOST
TRY AND AMEND THE COST
DO I DARE (ASK FOR MORE OR MERELY) 
LOOK AWAY AND GET MY ASS ON OUT THE DOOR 
DUE TO THE CONSEQUENCES OF THE LARGER WAR
BECAUSE THE BORDER WE IGNORE?!

WALK – WALK
JUST WHO DO WE EXCUSE?
WALK – WALK
AND JUST WHO DO WE ABUSE?
AS THE DAYS GROW SHORTER

WALK - WALK  IT BEHOOVES US
IT IMPROVES US
HELP US PAY OUR DUES TO US
YOU CAN COME ALONG COME ON COME ON 
WALK ALONG THE BORDER
COME ON WALK ALONG THE BORDER WITH ME                                 

ALL ON A WALK ALONG THE BORDER

Love and loss; loneliness

Alone Without You Words and Music by Gary M. Wollman

  Again I'm alone, without you
 I just can't be myself, without you
 And I can't bear to wait for you to change
 Love's here now, 
I can't rearrange it so easily
Guess I've learned the hard way, 
or so they say (without you)
  If love's not enough
 then maybe we're through 
I've tried all I could, 
what more can I do 
And if losing's the name of the game
 I'll bow out in style,
 just pride'll remain
 That's nothing new,
 life goes on the same
 Or so they say,
 without you
  INSTRUMENTAL
  Guess I've learned the hard way,
 or so they say 
without you
 Again I'm alone,
 without you
 I just can't be myself, without you
 And I can't bear to wait for you to change
 Love's here now, 
I can't rearrange it so easily
 Guess I've learned the hard way,
 or so they say without you

                                                                 Copyright 2004 Gary Wollman

What Are We Going To Do About The Hate

The Sage Page
Sage's music has presented itself through songs that have accompanied such seminal events as the collapse of the Berlin Wall and the election of Nelson Mandella - ending apartheid in South Africa. His songs continue to question the status quo and aspire towards as well as inspire for the "Greater Good." Selections such as "Love is the Key",What are We Going to do About the Hate" and "The Land of the Brave New Spirit" help set the stage for a more positive world and way of helping to move with individual hope and appropriate resulting actions.
Sagesongs are comprised of music that is intended to awaken us to our highest calling: helping us to understand matters of social significance (violence, racism, media literacy) as well as self-realization. Additionally many songs also deal with traditional subjects such as romantic love and love's many frustrations. All these works are designed to approach life's challenges working through ideals and positivity
