    Entranced

He’s so handsome, she’s so fair blithe and happy, quite the pair
All I do is stand and stare, then grumble
Watch them dancing, stepping light, turning, spinning, pretty sight
I try too hard to get it right, then stumble

Life isn’t fair, there is no square hole for this odd one
I’ll always stand, hand on the grand entrance, entranced, but never entering

Looking in I wait for you, nothing else for me to do
I’ll wait until forever’s through to know you
Snow is falling, blinds are drawn still I hope that you’ll catch on
‘Cause there’s so much inside I want to show you    
(Chorus)

Entranced, like a statue I stand
Entranced, slab of granite I stand
Entranced, staring at you I stand Entranced 
(Chorus)

He’s so handsome, she’s so fair blithe and happy, quite the pair
All I do is stand and stare
Entranced, Entranced, Entranced

    Singer and the Song

I see the world in certain light as if it isn’t real
And long to get my hands around the substance and the feel
But then the cold reality leaves something to desire
So I look inside my dreaming to see the inner fire

I am creator and created, the singer and the song
I am elation and elated, I am
I am inventor and invented, the singer and the song
I am intention and intended, I am

I’m living on a highwire by balancing the soul
The spirit and the body are woven in the whole
My mind turns in upon itself – an Escheresque design
It’s a tangled hierarchy for the diva and divine  
(Chorus)

It’s gonna take a quantum jump, a bump out of the system
It’s gonna take a leap of faith, belief in latent wisdom

My mind turns in upon itself – an Escheresque design
It’s a tangled hierarchy or the diva and divine  
(Chorus)

    Labyrinth

Like a spider, I spin my sticky trap
To catch the thoughts as they fly unsuspecting
And like a weaver, I work each colored thread
Each bit of wool, old or new pieces of me

The pattern unfolds, simple, yet intricate
Inward and outward, internal labyrinth

A shadow painted in chiaroscuro light
Defines a shape: here am I in my extremes
A tune repeating in modulating keys
Will circle back to return to the center
(Chorus)

Internal labyrinth
Eternal labyrinth

    Make It Real

Make it real, make it happen, put your plan into action
Don’t give in to a fraction of the fear you feel 
Realize there’s no limit, just invest yourself in it
Don’t forget for one minute you can make it real

There’s a time for dreaming dreams, and thinking up some wild schemes
And there’s a time for writing out all that you’d like to be about
And there’s a time for growing, for filling up to overflowing and then you 
(Chorus)

How you spend your thinking hours, and how you use your dreaming power
Will go into the “coming true” for all you’d like to be and do
And there’s a time for growing, for gearing up and let-it-flowing and then you 
(Chorus)

And when your dreams become your passion
That’s when you’re gonna have to 
(Chorus)

Some things don’t go according to the plan 
and so you plan according to the way things go, 
and so you grow, and so you flow, and so you  
(Chorus)
