That’s Me



Gifted and addicted, the fame and the pain
Bed mates together, pride and shame
Loved and loathed, the circle of life
Scaling heights, wonder and strife
The mysteries of time, a panoramic view
Comes crashing down, right on cue
Celebrity status, all can see
The tumultuous journey, being me
Hero to zero, rollercoaster ride
Few friends remain at my side
I try to hide, but not for long
The colourful me bursts out in song
Gifted and addicted, hold my hand
My painful travel to the promised land

It’s time to live again

The Epicentre

That place of passion, that place of rest, 
a familiar song to embrace
That racing heart, a powerful beat
Where life and colour and purpose meet
The epicentre of our being
That very pulse that gives you meaning
Embrace the call, made to measure
Profoundly you, your greatest treasure
Don’t be embarrassed, a perfect fit
Where faith and joy and passion sit 

It’s time to live again

Welcome

I have a flame burning in me, wild and destructive, creative and passionate, 
Until the day I die, though I try, it can never be extinguished.
So I embrace the flame and in doing so embrace me, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made
When I forget who I am my demons return, in the very act of forgetting, the destructiveness is free to run wild
To wish it away or hate the flame is futile
So I welcome the flame within me, burning along the edges and margins where other flames don’t reach,
Forever causing me joy and pain
For my flame within is a refining fire

It’s time to live again
