Songs

Love Magnet/Conduit
I remember,
Being old enough to curse, but
My feet swung aching to reach the
Ground; I remember
Was domain of the earthworm king
and it wasn't strange for a boy to
Sing
_________
My father,
like any father would, asked
What do you wanna be when you're a
Man; I remember
The look upon his face, when
His son stared up at him, and
Answered
_________
Chorus
What does it matter what I do in life
If I don't know who I wanna be in life?
Every

I wanna be a love magnet...

For Mom
The stars give life to sand and strife
of blistered desert below
Crisp night air bade welcome good wife,
Where wind ever does blow

There's something here you have to do
Calling you to greatness
                                                 through
                          thankless
