A Rest
Written by Jeremy James Meyer
Come on babe lets give it a rest
We've been howling like the winds
in this open wilderness
Come on babe I don't want to fight anymore
Lets let this storm pass
and pull safely to shore
That open door
That open door
Caught in the portrait of a mile
Ain't no way to live
ain't no way to smile
And I can see you shining in that mirror
I'll be shining right back at you
whenever you are near
Gotta rest my spirits
Gonna stay for a while
Come on babe lets give it a rest
This ain't so much a hurry
as a waiting for the best
And we'll keep moving through these stars
We're about as far out as we can be
and we're cruising past mars
Can't always stay
Don't know what to say

Hard Lemons
Written by Jeremy James Meyer
I heard you on the line last night dear
I heard you on the line and I could
Hear you breathe, you found the words
We can sing, I'm open to you
The choice is ours, to give in to
Or hold your own and what you do
Surrender now, if the feeling's true
But either way we'll move on through
Hard lemons in the desert baby
Hard lemons in the desert baby
Is that salt? is that snow?
Is that salt? is that snow?
Waking early these days saved me
Still caught in these dilemmas though and
Do I hide, or do I show, the things I want
And what I know
The choice is ours, to give in to
The voices that are pushing through
Life unfolds, or we create
The combination is our fate
Hard lemons in the desert baby
Hard lemons in the desert baby
Is that salt? is that snow?
Is that salt? is that snow?

Here I Am
Written by Jeremy James Meyer
Here I am again
here I am again
with you again
We went up too high
we went up too high
rain came falling from the sky
leaving snowflakes in my eyes
here I am again
You say I’m a boy
you say I’m a boy
but I wanna be your toy
so show me what to do
what can I do?
Here I am again
here I am again
in that land all full of sin
and there ain’t no place
a man can go
We came out last night
we came out last night
and brought everything to light
and we told each other
that i would be all right
Here I am again
here i am again
in that palace in the sand
and there ain’t no thing
that I can say or do

Day Out Of Time
Written by Jeremy James Meyer
Into the world you came
these darker days
and ever changing planet
adapting in its’ grace
Spark that lights the candle
and brings comfort in the night
Day out of time upon us
A rebirth of clearer sight
You were born to
you were born to
grow into yourself
you don’t owe anybody
just grow into something
you found on your own
Pathway through the canyon
to tiptoe or to stroll
the rim has light from
sunshine bright
below shadow stories unfold
The straw that broke the camel
well it paled to the gold
that shines with blood-stained fingers
a greed to sell the soul
You were born to
you were born to
grow into yourself
you don’t owe anybody
just grow into something
you found on your own
Distractions there are plenty
the screen glow shines bright
awaken wild waters
a vessel for free flight
So choose the ones around you
for they come in many forms
the book is for the learning
between lines lay perfect storms
You were born to
you were born to
grow into yourself
you don’t owe anybody
just grow into something
you found on your own
