Rock And Roll



just like the famed Billy Joel with rock & roll
 the choices we make to bust up the tempo
 showing you the way you should go
 out of every circumstance
 learn to take part in the dance
 to swing on a vine created by a great design
 the song was in my heart through mere beauty
 blazing in my heart of hearts
 we look for peace in the good quest of time
 the marching orders to become combersome
 shadows block the vortex in my mind
 thank you for the opportunity to express
 look above to the heavenly love
 help us to see the manifestation of rich art
 search in certain circles what is spiritual

why does one equate logical persuasion with fear
 helps to draw ever so near to draw back a tear
 cosmic swing on the ritual scheme
 love in the heart will impart an opened door
 the willingness to explore so much more
 cry with tears of joy onto a girl or a boy
 love is the quaint response to take part
 we love for he first loved us I must confess
 to trust in a power greater then self
