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
