The Moon is Racing Me Home (Lyrics)
 (c) Vicki Pompea (2015)
3/4 time

Verse 1
When I was in boot camp, I learned to spot danger
Now, every night I’m on patrol
The moon safely guides me. It lights up the desert. 
turning the sand into gold

Chorus
||: The moon is [racing me]3x
Racing me home :||

Verse 2
This tour of duty is far from my family  
Sometimes it’s hard not to cry
Before I can sleep, I look up and find comfort
To know that we share the same sky

Bridge:
I know you are waiting
I’ll never forget
Your love is my compass
Hope starts to rise as the sun starts to set.

Verse 3
I’m finally flying, I'm riding a moonbeam
I'll see my children tonight
I hope I'm in time for pajamas and stories
We’ll read by the silvery light

The Moon Is Racing Me Home

Fearless Day 2 - Old Friend

You startled me this morning
When you jumped on the bed
You started purring in my ear
when you sat upon my head

I know you're saying "feed me"
When your paws start to knead me
All right Old  Friend, all right

The dry food and the wet food
the ground up medicine
Fresh water in the water bowl
Until it's full again
A sun beam and a short rest
then you want 2nd breakfast

Nice try, Old Friend, Nice try.

I know what I'm doing
You are not my first
I clean your box
Trim your claws
Brush the knots out of your fur

I know that you love me
I'm your favorite pet
You know that
I love you
Even when we're at the vet

You're sitting on my paperwork
You stretch and block the screen
But if I put you on the floor
I'd feel so very mean

You say it's getting late now
With a sleepy little meow
Goodnight Old Friend goodnight.
Goodnight Old Friend goodnight.

Old Friend

I Am Home (c)2019 Vicki Pompea 

All these boxes on the floor
I can’t open anymore
I don’t know where anything should be

Can't find sheets to make the bed
I lay on the couch instead
An unfamiliar feeling come to me

Chorus:
I am home. I am home.

Wash the windows, fix the sink
Got no time to sit and think
Half my day is at the hardware store

Cleaning out the dryer vent.
(I) wonder where my sorrow went
Guess that I don’t need it anymore.

Bridge:
Brand new stars share a brand-new shine
Brand new neighbors share a glass of wine
They ask how I’m doing. I am doing fine
Can’t believe that all of this is mine.

When I was in boot camp, I learned to spot danger
Now, every night I’m on patrol
The moon safely guides me. It lights up the desert. 
turning the sand into gold

Chorus:
The moon is racing me, racing me, racing me.
Racing me home 

This tour of duty is far from my family  
Sometimes it’s hard not to cry
Before I can sleep, I look up and find comfort
To know that we share the same sky

Bridge:
Across the horizon, no one forgets
Wondering and waiting
Hope starts to rise as the sun starts to set.

I’m finally flying, I'm riding a moonbeam
I'll see my children tonight
I hope I'm in time for pajamas and stories
We’ll read by the silvery light

The Way Home

Update 5/30/2020

I don’t want to hear about it. already got too much in my head
I don’t want to think about It.  Got too many memories full of dread.
I want to sail to the moon and hold a piece of sky
Follow the kindness of stars
I want to find my way back home.

I’m not trying to hide from it. I am brave enough to know.
I’m not try to search and find it. I’m smart enough to stop and let it go.
I’m trying to sit with the earth, I’ll be quiet as a stone
Strong as the sweet prairie grass
I’m trying to find my way back home.

bridge:
I can pretend there something out there
Someplace to rest a weary soul
But that holy place, rests in me
To carry where ever I go

I’m not gonna fight about it. Nothing’s going to change a worried mind.
I’m not gonna  live inside it. I am gonna use my precious time
I’m going to dance in the fire and smile at the clouds
Flow like a river of truth
I’m gonna to find my way back home.

Summer (Solstice) © 2019 Vicki Pompea

When it finally comes, it’s been a long time gone 
Like everything else we hold dear
Days growing longer. Nights getting short
The sweetness of summer is here  

Chorus:
Don’t you know inside you there’s a golden light?
Don’t you know that we're all the same? 
Waking up with questions in the morning light. 
Following the dream that calls our name

Celebrate the summer, may your cup be full.
Celebrate each breath and every life
Take the joy and take the rest, and hold it near
Bless it with the wisdom of the skies. 

There's no time for waiting. There is only now
It's the only moment that we have
Here we are together, an eternal chain
 It's the ending where we all began. 

Verse 1:
When it finally comes, it’s been a long time gone 
Like everything else we hold dear
Days growing longer. Nights getting short
The sweetness of summer is here  
The sweetness of summer is here

I Am Home (c)2019 Vicki Pompea

Verse: 1
All these boxes on the floor
Holding memories from before
I'm unpacking who I used to be

Don't want the sheets from my old bed
I lay on the couch instead
An unfamiliar feeling come to me

Chorus:
I am home. I am home.

Verse 2:
Wash the windows, fix the sink
Got no time to sit and think
Half my day is at the hardware store

Cleaning out the dryer vent.
Strangely hopeful and content
I'm not looking backwards anymore

Bridge:
Brand new stars share a brand-new shine
Brand new neighbors share a glass of wine
They ask how I’m doing. I am doing fine
Can’t believe that all of this is mine.

I Am Home

A tribute to John Lewis: The Light (c) 2020 Vicki Pompea 
Lyrics inspired by quotes from John Lewis, civil rights leader,  congressman, and so much more. 

"I have said this before, and I will say it again, The vote is precious. It is almost sacred. It is the most powerful non-violent tool we have in a democracy."
- John Lewis,  February 21, 1940- July 17, 2020


There was a light
On the side of the House
There was a light on the side of the people
The light that shone, was called back home
but there's no time for sorrow and weepin'

Cross that bridge.  Cross that line.
Fight for the right to vote for freedom 
He got in trouble. Good, good trouble
But His heart was always peaceful

He was the light on the side of the house 
He was the light on the side of the people
His light was brave and full of faith
His spirit was never defeated

He stood up. He spoke out
For what is fair and right and legal
He found a way. He got in the way
Confronting  ignorance and evil

He was the light on the side of the house 
He was the light on the side of the people
What does it mean to share a dream?                  
It's when the  light is not sleeping 

Bridge:
Violence comes as it always comes, from power and corruption.
When blood is spilled, we find the will to stand up for those robbed of justice

You are a light. I am a light
We are lights on the side of the people
Holding only love, we've already won
His light keeps us believing.
