COME HERE - Words & Music_Swapna Abraham
January 26, 2023_After 1000_Song 37

You should reach out
For you can reach out
Say what’s it about
What took you this far
Pushed you so far
Turned you inside-out

Do take a hand
Someone does understand
And wants you here
Holds you dear
C’mon c’mon nearer, dear one
Come here

Sure, it’s hurting
All the dirt in
Tearing you apart
It is your life
And just one life
Playing heart to heart

Come Here

BLESSED - Words & Music_Swapna Abraham
February 8, 2023_After 1000_Song 38

Sing, come sing along
You’l find a song
Well, it’s been a while, a little while
Some right, some wrong
Here, in a place you belong

You are blessed
Only blessed
Though messed, you can be blessed
You are blessed
Only blessed
Though stressed, you can be blessed

Release and make your rest
From east or west
Sure you’ve come a mile, a rugged mile
It ain’t no test
Here, you are only the best

It’s the end, the very end
Who’d comprehend
There’s a file, no profile
Just dividend
Here, you can’t pretend

Blessed

Faces from the past returning
Frozen embers burning still
People tucked away in memories
Reappearing, stories to be filled

 Oh… Oh… you remember 

Some come to finish what they started
Without trace departed, let live
Pickin’ pieces from then, this far
Left behind a scar to give

They didn’t know, Oh you remember

Like the present wasn’t enough
To deal with the rough spaces
And what they do is store
To come again with more
As faces of the past

Faces from the past like magic
Looking older and tragic now
Surfacing to mend the broken fences
Even the defences somehow
They didn’t know, Oh you remember

I can feel it in the air
I just know that you are there
‘Cause I kept you
Away and I loved you
I was scared in my heart
That you lose it when you start
So I kept love at bay and I held you

But what I didn’t know
It wasn’t just me
Holdin’ you, holdin’ me
This close
I’m sorry I didn’t let you
Speak up when I met you the first time
All the years it cost us even with no love lost a crime
How can I make up for time gone
So late I wake up so torn
That you waited for this moment for love

Love waits, love grows
Any path it flows
Love hates, love games
The hurting frames
Love jives in love
Like hand in glove
Love dives in love space
In no name or face


What’s the start, what’s the move
Or the right words that would prove
I loved you
So much, did you see it
All we say now and all we do
I can’t have enough of you
Of our love
And I can’t contain it

FOR SOMEONE SPECIAL - Words & Music_Swapna Abraham
March 30, 2023_After 1000_Song 39

You fill the heart of your mother
Sister and brothers
The soul of your father fill
You fill the lives of your children
And your wonderful husband
Friends and all dear ones fill

So gracious, so generous, fill
Smiling yet tenacious, vivacious, fill
I remember the girl from school so strong-willed

Always we see you in glory
More power to your story
And free of all worry, still
A beautiful innings
And golden beginnings
Soaring with winnings still

For Someone Special

A tryst with some curse
It couldn’t get worse
Like I got dropped from the rage of glory
And switched the story
Being true to myself
Wipe the dust off the shelf
Will I live out the spell
Take it past this hell
Heaven knows I’m sick, the victim of my trick
Unforgiven (It’s sad) unforgiven, unforgiven (So sad) …
It’s the noise of the voices
And the words that were spoken have gotten me broken and damned
So damned
The tears in my eye
Can’t stop when I cry
I wish I could die
I’ve reached the end of trying
Unforgiven, it’s what I am

I come undone
Reduced to none
Like I’m going to someone’s doing
And without knowing
Something surely wrong
No one jinxed this long
How can this be happening to me
I know this crap for my own trap
Unforgiven (It’s sad) unforgiven, unforgiven (So sad) …
Are they dead or alive
Or just in my head, in the fall and the drive
I know, Oh I know
It’s what I’ve given
Is what I’m getting
I can’t do a thing
Stop the whispering
Unforgiven, it’s what I am
It’s what I’ll always always be
Because of me

THROW IT - Words & Music_Swapna Abraham
April 26, 2023_After 1000_Song 40

Throw it away
Won’t you throw it away
And find your way
Throw it away
Can’t you throw it away
And you’ll find a way

Walk out that door
And you’ll see more
You’ve only begun
So far from the sun
It’s a sky floor
1, 2, 3 and 4
It starts in your head
All the words that you said
It’s a sure encore

They won’t let go
Every time a no
Switch on to drive
Feel alive
Like gelato
You should meet the snow
It bleeds like it’s red
A fugitive bed
Till the afterglow

Throw It

Every dream does come to an end
We can’t pretend
Someone keeping count of the years
Shouldn’t end in fears
Maybe it’s just the start of the rest of our days
Remembering each other
Maybe not stay apart if destiny sways
Like we’ve always done
Thick and thin and fun
Dream on stay as one
But for now

Love can’t say goodbye
When we hug and we kiss means we’ll meet again
Love can’t tell a lie
Though we’re starting to miss and feel the pain
Love can’t say goodbye
When we hug and we kiss means we’ll meet again
Love can’t tell a lie
Though we’re starting to miss and feel the pain

Seems like yesterday that we were shy
When we said hi
We got more from time than we had thought
Loved and fought
Maybe it couldn’t last the threshold
Of the time of our lives
Maybe some things move so fast and get old
And we have no go
Get on with the flow
Move on so we know
But now

HOPELANDS - Words & Music_Swapna Abraham
June 30, 2023_After 1000_Song 42

Lived with hope
Lives lived with hope
Hope is the rain that grows the soul
Lived with hope
Given strength to cope
Hope as a garment, loved and whole

Building homes for little ones that haven’t one
Haven’t none at all
Building hopes and lives for the little ones
Theirs to rise and fall
Building hopes, building those little ones
And towards their calling
At Hopelands, lives lived with hope

Thinking hope
Abandoned, still with hope
When there are hearts that learnt to care
Sowing hope
No one needs to grope
There’s so much left that we can share

Hopelands

I’m crying
My tears they lose count of time
I’m trying
To move you out of the rhyme 
Alibi the golden past perhaps I dreamed 
You and I so real it seemed 
But now you’re lying
‘Cause you were desperate for me
I’m dying when every time I disagree
But don’t you know that you have left me all alone
You’ve left me so, now I’m turning into stone

Yet don’t forget the times we shared
The times we cared the times we dared 
The times we spoke the words of love
The times we hugged and stood above 
So when you cry don’t retreat 
And when you try don’t face defeat
Don’t ever regret the small amends 
You know that still we can be friends
I’m crying

Feels odd this crack of fate 
Twenty-one years too late 
So much has changed the meter
We meet again so much sweeter 
So all the crying seemed in vain
Had to walk through all the pain
Cause to trigger someone’s song
We stayed friends all along 
I’m crying

Oh…

I love music, I believe in the power of music, I consider music a great gift from God. Singing and song writing have always been my best and favourite expression. I wish that those with this gift could bless the world with it and be blessed by it, such that they don't have to waste their time, energy and passion pursuing other and insignificant things. We will die, but our songs will live after us.
