Lyrics:

"They’ll call you crazy," 
they always do,
say you’re chasing 
things no one pursues.
They’ll roll their eyes, 
they’ll shake their heads,
“Who are you to dream that big?” they said.

They don’t understand,
you were made for this.
They won’t see it coming,
you carry the gift.
You hold the strength,
you bring the shift.

“You know nothing,” 
they will shout,
“Where’s your title? 
What’s your route?”
They’ll laugh and point 
from their safe ground,
while you’re building storms 
without a sound.

They don’t understand,
you were made for this.
They won’t see it coming,
you carry the gift.
You hold the strength,
you bring the shift.

You walk alone, 
but not in fear,
your fire speaks 
when none will hear.
Born with light 
they tried to dim,
but stars don’t ask 
the world to grin.

Let them doubt, let them resist,
true change was never born to fit.
The wheel of life won’t place you high or low
it takes you where you’re meant to go.
But only a few know how to draw
the map that leads through fire and flaw.

They don’t understand,
you were made for this.
They won’t see it coming,
you carry the gift.
You hold the strength,
you bring the shift.

So stand your ground 
and face the fire,
you were never meant 
to just admire.
The world will change 
because you stayed—
not when they clapped,
but when they swayed.

The wheel of life

Intro is from 1946 film ‘Its a wonderful life’

V1:
I saw a shadow in the rain
It spoke to me
It wore your voice and knew my name
Never to leave

PC:
Try to see things from my side
How much I put on the line
I don’t think that you noticed
Doesn’t matter either way
What I do nor what I say
It never did 

C1:
Said it’s pulling me in 
I will let down
Everything you love
Until I’m not around
Don’t step in my direction
Coz all I’ve ever found
Is how to make you bleed from shutting you out

Bridge:
Give me something to burn

V2:
I run but when it rains it pours
Are you surprised 
She hides the clock beneath the floor (8)
I lose the time

PC:
Try to see things from my side
How much I put on the line
Have you ever noticed 
Seems not to matter either way
What I do nor what I say
It never did 

C2:
Said it’s pulling me in 
I will let down
Everything you love
Until I’m not around
Don’t step in my direction
All I’ve ever found
Is how to make you bleed from shutting you out

Said it’s pulling me in 
I will let down
Everything you love
Until I’m not around
Don’t step in my direction
All I’ve ever found
Is how to make you bleed from shutting you out

Give me something to burn

Burn

Text:
[Verse]
He died in a rocket crash on Mars
They gave me his military records
And I saw my name
He had a secret family with me

[Verse]
They brought his body back to Earth
I opened the casket and
I saw his face
He had a secret family with me

(Instrumental-Part)

[Chorus]
I want to love you for a long time
I want to see your face
You are the most important thing to me
And I love you

[Bridge]
He was already married
He had a son and a daughter
He was in the Air Force
I thought he was in the Army
He had a secret family with me

(Solo)

[Verse]
His body was on display in an open casket
His parents asked me not to come
But I couldn't miss it
He had a secret family with me

[Verse]
I saw his wife at the funeral
She looked just like me
They all thought it was a coincidence
He had a secret family with me

My Secret Family

When I Move On

Lyrics 

I remember sitting at that wooden desk one spring
Your weathered hands traced circles on the board
About the way that water moves through everything
While outside, rain was falling, largely ignored
You turned to face the class with fierce intensity
That made us all sit straighter in our chairs
"The world," you said, "is not our property"
And something in your voice caught me unaware


Your words that day changed everything I knew
Now I see the world the way you do


You brought a jar of soil and poured it on your palm
Explaining how each handful holds a universe
Of creatures keeping all our systems calm
The food chain's not a chart, it's something worse
You showed us photographs of melting polar seas
And spoke about the bees that didn't return
I watched you plant a seedling by the maple trees
And waited after class, now desperate to learn


Your words that day changed everything I knew
Now I see the world the way you do


Twenty years have passed, I'm teaching science now
Standing at my own board, drawing water's flow
When students ask me why I care so much somehow
I hear your voice still teaching what I know


I take my classes out to touch the morning dew
And watch their faces change just like mine changed
When understanding breaks and something deep and true
Connects them to this earth we've got to save
The passion in your lesson echoes through the years
As I pass on the wisdom that you shared


Your words that day changed everything I knew
Now I see the world the way you do

Sound Asleep

*demo*

you disappear
even when you’re here
your body present
your soul pacing elsewhere

I don’t know how to feed a hunger that shape shifts
lay my tenderness 
at the altar of your ache
wishing it could soften
whatever inside you
refuses to sleep

you wear your moods
like borrowed clothes
they never fit quite right
always slipping off your waist 
leaving me guessing
which version of you I’ll be facing  

you are not your pain 
but some days
you’re unreachable
and I don’t know
if it’s me you’re pulling from
or the version of yourself you can’t bear to embrace 

I keep wondering
if loving someone
sometimes means
slowly misplacing yourself
not out of sacrifice
but out of hope
that they’ll feel a little less alone

I decide to stay 
because somewhere between
the highs and the lows
I know
somewhere inside you
even if it’s buried deep
you still want
to be found
I’ll keep looking 
(I promise)

Shape Shifts

Glyn Hyde - Summer On The Water 2020

le soleil se lever sur la montagne

Man on the Run

In the early morning hours, long before the sun will rise,
I’m thinking ‘bout that sun and how it sparkles in her eyes.
When it finally breaks the darkness, like a dog hangs on a bone,
I am thinking ‘bout that evening sun, and how it leads me home.
And unless I know you’re waiting at that door, that sun’ll shine no more.

As the midday sun is beating down, my mind is set on you,
And thinking how it filters down and does what sun rays do.
And these memories are enough to keep me going till the clock
When I finally hear that whistle blow and know it’s time to stop.
I can hear the whistle blowing in my mind – it’s finally time.

Time has not been my best friend.
Time is just like money, when you’ve got no time to spend.
Tried to break it, wouldn’t bend.
I’d save all my time for you if I knew just where it went.

Out here on the freeway, the sun is at my back.
You’re standing at the open door and I’ll be keeping track.
Tomorrow is another day, just like the one before.
But until it’s here I know that we’re gonna love some more.
I can hear the music playin’ sweet and low – here we go.

Time has not been my best friend.
Time is just like money, when you’ve got no time to spend.
Tried to break it, wouldn’t bend.
I’d save all my time for you if I knew just where it went.

Time

I've always had a deep love for music and song writing. Whether I'm strumming my guitar or singing along to my favorite tunes, music is my way of sharing stories and connecting with everyone. Join me on this journey as I create music. I hope everyone who listens enjoys it, God bless you and thank you
