ORIGINAL MAN

Lost that dream in my heart
Came so far got to re-start
Even though I see the horizon it is still far

Just want to be an original man
Stay to my own path and stay out of the sand
Don't need a mystical deity to give me a hand

Lost that dream in my mind
The dream I had all this time
It is just another turn in my path

Just want to be an original man
No need for a fancy device or a tattoo
Free to do what I want too not out to impress you

Lost that dream in my life
She looked me in the eye thought she would be my wife
She turned her back never understand what I lacked

Just want to be a man of originality
That is what makes me free

PLOT POINT

Trying to find inspiration in life
There is a choice in knowing wrong from right
Taking pride in the words that I write

Plot Point
A turning at the corner in the story being told

The hero might lose the fight
But will get the redemption in the light
In the end the responsibility you hold

Plot point
Where music get its soul

All she asks for is a little respect when he walks in the door
She knows she will love him much more
Not a muse but a living queen listen to her sing

Plot point
It is all in the words one writes

Say dear God before sleep at night
The sign will be a purple color filling the sky
Sisters can find strength through life

Plot point
Talking above all the noise

Robert would cross-talk in a conversation
No one thought it was art
When that is the way we all talk

Plot point
Discovering something you didn't know

Exposing your mind to an uneducated lie
Thinking you're more privileged than others
To be borne you had to have a mother
