Don't let the people fool you,
Don't let them make you think,
That they are better than you,
Or that they know the missing link.
Doesn't matter what you wear,
Or what fancy car you drive. . . . more

To dare to dream,
To want to seem,
To live to be,
To hear to see,
To love to feel
To be too real
To care to give
To dream to live.

When sleep eludes me
And I'm up late

On my electric slate.
My fingers slide
Over keys so fast
Writing thoughts
Of an endless task.
What will they read?
What should I say? . . . more

In the quiet of the night,
When all in bed have gone to sleep,
I get to have some time alone,
To think about life real deep.
In the busy of the day,
With all of life's demands on me
