Somebody
Unpublished work Copyright 2001 Danny P. Grummett
I'll take that train
To that station
Look for engine
Number nine
You'll be waitin'
I'm anticipating'
`cause you're the end
of my line
(Chorus)
`cause I'm nobody
without somebody
not just anybody
will do
I'm no one
Without someone
And the one
To whom I run
Is you
I'll go driven
To the church love
Those ol' bells
Will start to ring
I will cherish
Our marriage
As the choir
Will start to sing
(Chorus)
we'll buy a house
in the country
with some children
two or three
We'll go out walkin'
Baby talkin'
With our happy
Big family
(Chorus)
I Surrender
Unpublished work copyright 2001 Danny P. Grummett
Like the fog gathers from the east
Surround me, surround me
Like the rainfalls on an endless sea
Surround me, surround me
Like the wind through the restless leaves
Surround me, Surround me
Like a cool December breeze
Surround me, surround me
(Chorus)
I surrender all to you
My whole life through and through
Take my heart and take my soul
In my emptiness make me whole
Like warm rays on a sunny day
Surround me, surround me
Like ice on a Glacier Bay
Surround me, surround me
Like a whirling swirling cyclone near
Surround me, surround me
Like the feeling when the air is clear
Surround me, surround me
(Chorus)
Our Disgrace
Unpublished work copyright 2001 Danny P. Grummett
She awakes in a frosty winter morn
her face is scarred her dress is torn
She wishes she was never born
She longs freedom from a life of Porn
Out in the streets she turns another trick
passing the jaundiced gigolo prick
and another John all dressed up slick
It's all enough to make one sick
(Chorus)
Darkness haunts a distant place
Countless souls without a face
Their wasted lives are our disgrace
they await another cold embrace
She ends other dirty day
throws down all her sordid pay
Watches as her life decays
And she tries really hard to pray
Can miracles come in such a hell
Can anything break this evil spell?
Will she ever break out of her shell?
It's a hard Demon to expel
(Chorus)
She tries to dream of happy times
Of hopscotch and nursery rhymes
paper dolls and backyard chimes
all the trees she used to climb
Now she feels like no one cares
The whispered voices, icy stares
she tries her luck at another prayer
Hoping for an answer there
(Chorus)
She can't stand to face the street
She hopes for some sweet release
She longs for some kind of peace
like a permanent retreat
She feels the world weigh on her chest
she knows her life is such a mess
She cries and breathes one last breath
and drifts off to eternal rest
(Chorus)
Flotsam and Jetsam
Unpublished work copyright 2001 Danny P. Grummett
You're a self-proclaimed pop cult swami
Some kinda new age arganaut
Seeking a Golden Fleece in your under shorts
Some kinda mystic celestial plot
Your crystal ball is ringing somewhere
Perhaps you had best catch the call
Perhaps some hurly burly spirit guide
Is breaking through your psychic wall
(Chorus)
It's hard to find an answer from a crystal rock
You're in tune with your navel but your mind is blocked
It's like your first trip though a luscious candy shop
Like you're the captain on the good ship lollipop
You're gazing into astrological stars
Your head is caught up in the sky
You look for the secrets of the universe
While the world quickly passes you by
You say were all cosmic molecules
Levitating towards some terrestrial door
That we're all just flotsam jetsam
I say that were a little bit more
(Chorus)
You're psychedelic moonbeam chowder
Is rapidly boiling to the brim
Your healthy herbal therapy concoction
All seem to be doing you in
Look beyond your glittering flickering orb
To your wandering, wondering pondering soul
You'll find no astral path through Saturn's rings
Just a gentle voice like a thunder roll
(Chorus)
You're transcendental wallpaper
Is tearing apart at the seams
The whiskers on your latest guru
Are floating in your aural tractor beam
If you're seeking some truth in the cosmos
In your heart you may unlock the code
The word that came forth from creation
Your salvation is there to behold
(Chorus)
You say were all cosmic molecules
Levitating towards some terrestrial door
You say were all flotsam jetsam
I say were a little bit more
Words
Unpublished work copyright 2001 Danny P. Grummett
(Chorus)
In your work and your play
Your words get in the way
You say all you gotta say
Still your words get in the way
You keep talking all day
Your words get in the way
Talk, Talk
Talk, talk
If you'd take the time to listen
And hear another point of view
But when all you do is talk talk
How can you hope to get through?
(Chorus)
There's a school in Holy silence
That holds lessons for the ear
And there are those who speak wisdom
If you'd just take the time to hear
(CHORUS)
Must you always do the speaking?
In you speech and in your prayers
Hear the whisper in your spirit
And hear the voice speaking there
(Or: God is speaking to you there)
(Chorus)
The City
Unpublished work copyright 2001 Danny P. Grummett
(Chorus)
There's no time to feel in the city
And nothing seems real in the city
And nothing is true, but a girl with eyes of blue
In the city.
I was born in the country
In a small town way
Working on the farm
And loadin' up the hay
But times were hard
And my wallet tight
So I ventured on out
Into the city lights
(Chorus)
The first time I saw her
My heart stood still
In a place so cold
She seemed so real
So we cruised for days
In our own little world
Just a small town boy
And a big city girl
(Chorus)
well, by and by
there came the day
she couldn't go
I just couldn't stay
So we kissed goodbye
And we went on our way
Maybe somehow
Well get together someday
(Chorus)
Long, Long Road
Unpublished work copyright 2001 Danny P. Grummett
Reach to the sky
Pull down a star
Make yourself a wish
Put it in your pocket
Look for a dream
Search out the key
You made the door
Its time to unlock it
(Pre-Chorus)
There's a Lord up above
He's calling you
There's a trail up ahead
So put on…put on your walking shoes
(Chorus)
It's a long, long road that we follow
It's a long, long road that we follow
You found yourself a girl
A real cool one
Makes you feel good
Like a rising sun
When life gets tough
And you're feelin' old
Look to the rainbow
There's a promise to behold
(Pre-chorus)
If the spirit is willing'
Then life's a prayer
There's a God in heaven
He's gonna…he's gonna take you there
(Chorus)
(Solo)
(Pre-chorus)
If life gets fast
And you start to shake
You might slow down
Don't put on…don't put on the brake
(Chorus)
