Rhyta Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 Marathon: From first to lastThe peak is never passedSomething always fires the light that gets in your eyesOne moment's high, and glory rolls on byLike a streak of lightening that flashes and fadesIn the summer sky This the first one that comes to mind but there are so so many. :sigh: 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
priest_of_syrinx Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 Bravado: And if the music stopsThere's only the sound of the rainAll the hope and gloryAll the sacrifice in vain(And) If love remainsThough everything is lostWe will pay the priceBut we will not count the cost 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J2112YYZ Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 You know how that rabbit feelsGoing under your speeding wheelsBright images flashing byLike windshields towards a flyFrozen in the fatal climb-But the wheels of time-Just pass you by... Wheels can take you aroundWheels can cut you down We can go from boom to bustFrom dreams to a bowl of dustWe can fall from rockets' red glareDown to "Brother can you spare-"Another war-another waste land-And another lost generation 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KenJennings Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 The treasure of a life is a measure of love and respectThe way you live, the gifts that you giveIn the fullness of timeIt's the only return that you expect The future disappears into memoryWith only a moment betweenForever dwells in that momentHope is what remains to be seen 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psionic11 Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 (edited) I've collected some of my favorite lyrics by Neil. I realize now that there is an undercurrent of a dark undertone here. As with other great philosophers throughout Western history, thanks for keeping it real, Neil. Edited January 11, 2020 by psionic11 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psionic11 Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 LARGE PHILOSOPHICAL All this time we're talking and sharing our Rational ViewA billion other voices are spreading other news We hold beliefs as a consolationA way to take us out of ourselvesMeditation, or medicationA comfort, or a promised reward Some will sell their dreams for small desiresOr lose the race to rats All the busy little creaturesChasing out their destiniesLiving in their poolsThey soon forget about the sea... The balance can sometimes fail-Strong emotions can tip the scale- Wave after waveWill flow with the tideAnd bury the world as it doesTide after tideWill flow and recedeLeaving life to go onAs it was... 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psionic11 Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 DARK SOCIAL REALITY We shake our heads at the tragedy Summer's going fast,Nights growing colderChildren growing up-Old friends growing olderExperience slips away... I find no absolutionIn my rational point of viewMaybe some things are instinctiveBut there's one thing you could doYou could try to understand me-I could try to understand you... It's not a matter of mercyIt's not a matter of lawsPlenty of people will kill you for some fanatical cause It's cold comfortTo the ones without itTo know how they struggled-How they suffered about it 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psionic11 Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 (edited) PERSONAL PHILOSOPHICAL Some are blessed and some are cursedThe golden one or scarred from birthWhile others only see the worstSuch a lot of pain on the earth Some days were darkI wish that I could live it all againSome nights were brightI wish that I could live it all again Though we might have precious littleIt's still precious Cast in this unlikely role,Ill-equipped to act,With insufficient tact,One must put up barriersTo keep oneself intact. All I know is that sometimes you have to be wary'Cause sometimes the target is you ======================================= PERSONAL DESTINY Each of usA cell of awarenessImperfect and incompleteGenetic blendsWith uncertain endsOn a fortune huntThat's far too fleet... You don't get something for nothingYou don't get freedom for freeYou won't get wiseWith the sleep still in your eyesNo matter what your dreams might be I was brought up to believeThe universe has a planWe are only humanIt's not ours to understand All is for the bestBelieve in what we're toldBlind men in the marketBuying what we're soldBelieve in what we're told We can go from boom to bustFrom dreams to a bowl of dustWe can fall from rockets' red glareDown to "Brother can you spare-" Like the rat in a maze who says,"Watch me choose my own direction"Are you under the illusionThe path is winding your way?Are you surprised by confusionWhen it leads you astray?Have you lived a lifetime today -Or do you feel like you just got carried away?

psionic11 Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 GLOBAL PHILOSOPHICAL I thought of time and distanceThe hardships of history Big money take controlBig money got a mean streakBig money got no soul... The people were dividedEvery soul a battlefield... Now it's come to thisLike we're back in the dark agesFrom the Middle East to the Middle WestIt's a plague that resists our science Truth is after all a moving targetHairs to split, and pieces that don't fitHow can anybody be enlightened?Truth is after all so poorly lit Let the truth of love be lightedLet the love of truth shine clearSensibilityArmed with sense and libertyWith the Heart and Mind unitedIn a single perfect sphere 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
