"Heartache"

Do You Ever Feel All Alone?
Like All You Wanted Was to be Welcomed Home?
Learning to Make It On Your Own
Can Sometimes Take Its Toll
A Bus Ride, A Morning in Court, A Loud Remark
And Friends Too Far Apart,
A Lonely Heart
That Sheds a Tear,
Wishing You Were Here.

"What Is Love?"

Is Love Really Blind?
Or Is It There In Front Of Your Eyes?
And Is It The Same For All Of Mankind?

Is It A Mother Patiently Listening To Her Child
As She Whines To Her On The Other Line
Or A Brother Protecting His Sister
From A Boy Or A Bee About To Sting Her?

Does It Come Through The Gift Of Friendship
Or In A Sisterhood That Lasts A Lifetime?

And If It Comes In The Form Of A Man
Bending Down On One Knee
Saying "Will You Marry Me?"
Then Love Can Come From Strangers
Who Turn Into Family.

"Deep Rhymes of Boston"

Relying On Me
That's How I Choose To Be
Got Jesus, My Father, And The Sun With Me
A Greater One Who Does Protect
From The Harm The Material World Projects

I Earn, I Clean
I Weep And Shriek
I Party With All My Heart
And Bleed For My Green
When Every Celtic Game Starts

I Believe Kindness Should Be Highly Regarded
And We Treasure The Life Of Those Now
Along With Ones Departed

Because Big Hearts Are Rare To Find
When I See One
It Will Combine With Mine.
