Happy Birthday

Listen to the phone demo @ http://www.soundcloud.com/honnasiri/happy-birthday-1

I'm gonna woo you, till I run out of time
You're, always, forever on my mind
I did choose you, I made you mine
But, somewhere, I'm going to have to draw the line

You're as impossible as they come
Making sure all my plans come undone

Happy Birthday to you
I've got just the trick to break the spell
Happy Birthday to you
Now you don't have to fight me for ages on end
Happy Birthday to you

I have a plan for you, it's all been done
I'm only waiting for you to come cash in on
But let me tell you, only you will pay the price
If you choose to lose out on my advice

The original plan stays put
You're the only thing in it I have to reboot

Happy Birthday to you
Here's my super final last ditch desperate attempt
Happy Birthday to you
Just so you know, I'll never let you go
Happy Birthday to you

The babe that was born that Christmas morn
My very own son, my flesh and blood
He came down to die for your sins, instead
So that you can live, His blood was shed

This is the best that I can do
The rest is completely up to you

Happy Birthday to you
Now that the deal's done, and the battle's won
Happy Birthday to you
Say, "Yes", believe, repent and confess
Happy Birthday to you
A whole new life is awaiting you
Happy Birthday to you
Happy Happy Happy Birthday

Don't be stubborn, child 
Now there's no excuse
Don't be stupid, kid
How much more easy can it get?
Don't be hopeless, fool
Hope has come through
New life, eternal, beckons you

Happy Birthday to you
With wide open arms, I will be waiting
Happy Birthday to you
Now, don't you be hesitating 
Happy Birthday to you

Accidental Pebblestones Blues

The clock on the table is
Ticking away
Each second is slowly
Slipping away
I've been staring at the roof for hours
Plain and white
Numb as I can ever be
Through the night

Why is it so hard to
Get up and fight
The crazy feeling
It won't turn out right

I'm scared to the bone
Of the days I'll see
Scared by the chances
Of you and me
Scared for my life
What my days will be
Free indeed seems far too
Perilous for me

Come, oh wind
And whisk me away
Show me where freedom
Has no greater price to pay

Oh, these accidental pebblestones hung around my neck
I have a noose full of them keeping me in check
The trickle stream of your years will always be fine and dandy
Till you realise you've been sold short to a dream that's not so fancy

I wish I could wind it back
Just a little bit
Maybe a day more
How about a week before
Those many years ago don't seem so far away
I want to go back, seize the day and release these chains
So many stakes I don't need
Who are these, what are these people that I please?

Almost Spiritual

I've woken up to a mountain side
Beauty brimming in my mind
Glided on an eagle's wings
As my soul starts to sing
At the sound of your heart beat
I can almost jump and rejoice

Almost spiritual this is
I've found revolution in the air
We're closer to the dream
When you're here with me
The world doesn't have to despair
And the poetry won't stop

One look at the compassion in your eyes
And I look at the world and smile
You and me, we can save the world
Together we can set it free
With the convictions of your heart
You give my world a new jump start

Almost spiritual this is
I can see it in your eyes
To move on up and save the world
Share the dream and make it heard
Hope has finally arrived
And the poetry won't stop

Love is no illusion
Love is no dream
Everything is exactly what it seems
If you can look me in the eye, and tell me it's a lie
I'll stop believing and dreaming and die  

Almost spiritual this is
Our journey home is done
The world can be the dream we see
If we just listen to the song of our hearts
And the poetry will never stop

September Born

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sMaFKa6yKN0&feature=youtu.be

Well hello there
I don't want to spoil the celebrations
May I just make one announcement please?
I'm on a break from pleading on my knees for you
Because my own blood gave you the key to be free
My Father, He had a plan, you see
Laid out perfectly to the tee
And if you throw it all away on some red white fat jolly gift-rich man
It will all be such a big fat waste

September born, this is my song
Don't believe the lies they've told you all along
I came to set right the timeline
The blood that paid for your life is mine
So be my guest and jump in anytime

Now to go on
I must say it's a grand celebration
But let me tell you of a party up in Heaven
Our joy and hope in you knew no bounds
That was way before you were even born
Now that you've gone far, they only await you more, wherever you are
I'm the life of the party when you find and keep me
A party like you've never known before

September born, this is my song
Don't believe the lies they've told you all along
I came to set right the timeline
The blood that paid for your life is mine
So be my guest and jump in anytime

The mistletoe is tingling
The sleigh bells are ringing
You must be waiting to go out and celebrate the day
Now, I've to get back to my knees
Will you excuse me please?
I've got lots more saving to do, if you'll spare me
Chief guest another day

September born, this is my song
Don't believe the lies they've told you all along
I came to set right the timeline
The blood that paid for your life is mine
So be my guest and jump in anytime

Brotherhood

Brotherhood's on the tip of your tongue
The world has just got to be one
It's coming out your nose
It's ringing in the air
It's itching in your bones to go out and share

You know
It don't grow off of' the trees
It don't even blow in with the breeze
And, no, it won't show when you simply sneeze
Somebody's gotta do the deed

Love, indeed, makes the world go round
True enough, it's no excuse for the sound
Of the tokens you hand out; redemption I don't want to keep
To constantly oblige is a price simply too steep

Don't you know
It just don't grow off of' the trees
It don't even blow in with the breeze
And, no, it won't show when you simply sneeze
Somebody's gotta pay the fee

Brotherhood's on the top of your mind
If you can afford it, it's way more than you need
You're fortunate enough to be able to be so kind
But it's getting crowded with you too feeding off the exercise

You gotta realise
It just don't grow off of' the trees
It don't even blow in with the breeze
And, no, it won't show when you simply sneeze
Oh, and yes, somebody's gotta be one

Full Circle

Listen @ http://soundcloud.com/honnasiri/full-circle

I've been to the depths of my dreams
I dug a little deeper to see if there's anymore than it seems
And there I saw the colour of my skin; it's fairer now than it should be
The skies opened up and they welcomed me in
As I dug on through the feeling just sank in

I've been around and back again
I'll never forget the times I've spent
Watching the sun go down on them days
This one thing I can surely say
Do or die, I will survive
So, stick around and meet me at Full Circle
I'll tell the tale, I will regale

The colours of the world are sweet
You gotta feel them unabated and sink in your feet
But nothing beats the people that you meet
They only make it a funky two-way street
So the pleasure of our acquaintance is mine indeed
As I go down this very funky street

Sometimes I feel like I never really did ever leave
I just went down the road for a while
This to you I swear
I'll be back to this special place
So, stick around and meet me at Full Circle
I'll tell the tale, I will regale

While I'm slipping between horizons, away from comfort that I know
Seeking the breath of the undiscovered in my face
Inhibitionless, do you want to get a little too close for comfort, break the spell and watch freedom roll?
As the corners of the world start laying bare, we'll enjoy the unboxed beauty it springs forth forever more

When the scene's over (The Movie Song)

You better get out of here before this place falls to the ground
True love is a waste trapped in dead bodies lying around
You can make out under the beauty of the bright blue sky
Expect the rain at the meeting of your lips and time that just flies by

But then love, again, is a very strange thing indeed
It's simply no use to go all out and let your heart bleed
The Universe awards true noble chivalry
So serenade her outside her window in the morning at the dot of three
And tell me when the scene's over, and we go back to reality

The world is a scary place when you're the only one who dares
You can step right up and everyone will accept you with grace
Grab the keys and single-handedly make it a better place
Let ego be the bitch and become the monster that you made

Every now and then, the world comes down to this
You've got you, yourself, what your hands can hold and that's about it
Scram for the door and make your way right outta town
Another hero-turned-monster havoc till a new hero's found
And when the scene's over, the real hero comes around
Your day will come to be one of the chosen few
Just remember that it's always never only about you
There'll be an entire world at stake only you were meant to save
Without warning, it's an honour you've got to take

When are you going to crash my wedding and sweep me off my feet?
I ran from the old man with a shovel with the scary bearded face
Based on a phone tipoff from a hooded masked man with a strangely familiar voice who told me to run, run, run and not wait to smell my own fear

Now's the time to ask if you've learnt your lesson yet
The creaking door, the footsteps coming, the crazy feeling inside your head
Take a leaf out of all the movies you have seen
You know what's gonna happen, trust your instinct and get out clean
And when the scene's over, we step into the real scene
