"Heart & Soul" © 2017 David Patrick Bryan
It feels like time is standing still, and life, has never been,
I don't know when it all began, or if, it all will end,
What I do know, when we go, we leave the physical behind
So when we do leave this world, what in the world will we find?
Give of yourself, we are sisters & brothers,
sharing your love is pure gold,
Give of yourself, put your best into others,
give all your heart and soul.
We can worry, we can fear, and we, can keep it all inside,
But we need to let it go, so we, can feel alive,
There 's magic in you, more than you know,
There 's magic in you, let it shine, let it show,
Give of yourself, we are sisters & brothers,
sharing your love is pure gold,
Give of yourself, put your best into others,
give all your heart and soul.
Share your love and help another see,
a better life, a better way to be,
Love those that hate, forgive their mistake,
let love set your heart free.
those that hate, forgive the mistakes, - set yourself free.
When your time has come, take all your spirit unfolds,
Mix it up with all the love, in your heart and soul.
Give of yourself, we are sisters & brothers,
sharing your love is pure gold,
Give of yourself, put your best into others,
give all your heart and soul.
Give of yourself, we are sisters & brothers,
sharing your love is pure gold,
Give of yourself, put your best into others,
give all your heart and soul.

“TAKE MY HAND” © 2018 David Patrick Bryan
Take my hand and dance with me, it means so much to see you smile.
Take my hand, don't worry, I'll be easy, I'll be mild,
We will float, across the floor, our hearts will fill, our hearts will soar,
All will see the joy in our eyes, don't say no there's so much more,
More to share and to give, more to see and to show,
More to life than we live, more to love than we know.
Our hearts fill, joyfully, we'll be all we love to be,
so please ... take my hand.
I'll hold your hand so tenderly, with gentle breath upon your skin,
We will dance thru the night, then we'll spin, and dance again,
More to share and to give, more to see and to show,
More to life than we live, more to love than we know.
Our hearts fill, joyfully, we'll be all we love to be,
so please ... take my hand.

“The Eucharist” © 2019 David Patrick Bryan
{V1}
I hold You, in my hands, Your Love, I feel,
I surrender all … as I kneel,
I join in communion; I fuel these flames of old.
I give to You, all my Heart, my Spirit - Mind and Soul.
{V2}
Every day’s a challenge, for our love to grow,
Everyday gives love, so many ways to show,
Lord You’re Love, washes all, Lord You’re Love makes all new,
You are here in me, the Father’s here in You,
{Chorus}
“Oh-h-h Eucharist, the Way of the Son,
“Oh-h-h Eucharist, the Love of the Father, for all to be One.”
{V3} (Instrumental)
{V4}
There are those … who knows not the Son,
Yet still feels the longing … to be one,
We grow to Heaven, with hearts open wide,
The Lord will brings’ us home, The Lord is our guide …

"The Harvest" © 2018 David Patrick Bryan
I see in my mind's eye, much fear and much doubt,
Some will share their hearts, some will be left out,
I see in my mind's eye, love comin' home,
I feel the gentle touch, the meek become the strong,
You know you are loved, So who better than you?
The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few.
I see in my mind's eye, you're one of the few,
To help those who just don't know, where their runnin' to,
Our world's made for caring, sharin' other's needs,
I see in my mind's eye, Love plantin' powerful seeds,
You know you are loved, So who better than you?
The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few.
O-o-o Our world is amazing, even with the stress and strife,
Love and understanding, makes a heavenly life,
You know you are loved, So who better than you?
The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few.

"You Are With Me" © 2018 David Patrick Bryan
You are with me, when I'm all alone, you are with me, when I'm here at home,
Talking to our two sons, their little lives have just begun, oh I know, you are with me,
You are with me, when I'm in a crowd, sometimes I hear, you call my name out loud,
Oh I wish, I could hold you, one more time, I know, you are with me.
I really miss, your good night kiss and waking next to you,
But I feel our love's just as real, and our hearts, are just as true.
You are with me, when I close my eyes, I'll never need, to ever say goodbye,
We will always be, together, you and me, oh I know, you are with me
I would give all that is, for that smile upon your face,
To hear you laugh again, your beauty and your grace,
I really miss, your good night kiss and waking next to you,
But I feel our love's just as real, and our hearts, are just as true.
You are with me... You are with me ... You are with me ... You are with me ...

With you I am alive, I need you by my side, I give all my love to you!
All my heart, is for, you love, All my heart, is only, for you!
Look into my eyes, you will realize, How deep in love I am with you?
For your Love, stole my heart and soul,
For your Love, I've lost all control.
There will never be another, who means what you mean to me,
There will never be no other, who loves' you, like I do,
You are everything, I love you!
There will never be another, who means what you mean to me
There will never be no other, who loves' you, like I do, like I do,

"She is Music"
© 2015 David Patrick Bryan
Who's passion, paints feelings, Who's dreams, em-braces, the soul,
Who's vibration, brings healings, And rhythms, that make diamonds, from coal.
Who's voice, is so loud, and so blue, With chains, that cry, to be free,
Who's silence, is so pure, and so true, On who's palette, all colors will be.
(chorus)
She-e-e is Music, She's so infectious,
She-e-e is Music, And she's in all of us.
She stops for a moment, then breaths again, Kisses the sky, with joy and grace,
Drinks the cup, of strength and sin, And brings love to every creed and race.
(Bridge)
Oh, play me a note , sing me a song, Into your embrace my soul un-folds,
Strum my heart strings all night long, She is music ... she is gold.
(chorus)
She-e-e is Music, She's so infectious,
She-e-e is Music, And she's in all of us.
(chorus)
She-e-e is Music, She's so infectious,
She-e-e is Music, And she's in all of us.

Dust off your mirror
© 2016 David Patrick Bryan
Dust off your mirror, you're more than you know,
Be un-troubled, let all your fears go,
In your soul, you are perfect and pure,
With a love, that will last and endures,
You're radiance, will inspire and will show,
Dust off your mirror, you're more than you see,
Perfect in every way, the way you were made to be,
You are light, the image and likeness you know,
Loved into life, created to love and to grow.
Through you love flows, and love's all you need.
The mind is the builder, of the soul's enterprise.
Just be yourself, and all will be realized,
Creative energy, you're here to go,
Dust off your mirror perfect one, you're much more than you know,
Dust off your mirror, what you see is truly you,
Let your love shine, and your light will shine through,
You only need, ... to believe,
You are love, ... eternally,
Then you will see, perfectly, the soul is you!

"My Old Tailbone"
© 2017 David Patrick Bryan
Verse 1:
I've been sittin' here to long, just tryin' to write me a song,
But the song won't come, ... can't feel it to-day,
Now I've sat here so-o-o long, it's hurt my old tailbone,
And the pain-n-n, just won't go a-way
Chorus:
O-o-o gotta' get up, I-I-I gotta' get up, gotta' get up, and walk away,
O-o-o gotta' stand up, I-I-I gotta' stand up, but I need to write me a song today.
Verse 2:
Oh I'm still sittin' tall, just given' it my all, And my all ain't all, it outta' be,
Can't write me a song, my songs they've all gone, and my old tailbone is killin' me
Bridge:
But this pain keeps on goin', and it's growin' and growin,' I wonder, just how long,
will it be before it eases so I can do what I pleases, and sit here & write me a song,
Verse 3:
Now I don't know what to do, this pain is through and through,
and my old tailbone feels black and blue, yell it do,
I don't know what to say, but I'll say it anyway, to my old tailbone, damn you!
Chorus & out:
O-o-o gotta' get up, I-I-I gotta' get up, gotta' get up, and walk away,
O-o-o gotta' stand up, I-I-I gotta' stand up, but I need to write me a song today.

"The Room" © 2016 David Patrick Bryan/Laurie Ann Bryan
The air here, we do breathe, yet life's' breath, we cannot see.
When it is gone, are we? Oh no, this I don't believe.
Search your soul, seek the truth, remove the self, find your proof.
Forget the past, forget the tomb, leave your tent and build your room.
A most beautiful room, deep in the soul,
Let the mind decorate and the heart fill with gold.
A room where "Life" can come and talk, where "Love" will always listen.
Where "Truth" will go and show itself, in lights that shine and glisten!
A room so clean, so soft and warm, much lighter than a feather,
Where thoughts.. gently, float away, like ships, that come un-tethered.
A most beautiful room, deep in the soul,
Let the mind decorate and the heart fill with gold.
Therein I spoke my simple mind, a question of my youth,
"What one thing, would best explain, the answers to all truths?"
And when I was still, so very still, a voice inside did shout, "Kindness"
One simple thing, that does explain, what "All" is all about.
A most beautiful room, deep in the soul,
[ Let the mind decorate and the heart fill with gold - repeat 2x]

"Soul's Abode"
David Patrick Bryan © 2015
There is a sea, that has no shore, and a sky, that has no land,
From this place, loves does pour, and we understand.
No one here, is afraid, no need of fear, where love is made,
This sea of old, this sky of gold, our Soul's Abode.
Say the few, blessed to view, this light, within their souls,
Know that a heart, faithful and true, will take you, to your Soul's Abode.
Swim in the Sea, Fly in the Sky, What you feel, seems so surreal,
Yet in your heart, you know this love, is very real
So full of Joy, no room for hate, all is forgiven, make no mistake,
This perfect Love, you will find, in Heaven's Estate
Say the few, blessed to view, this light, within their souls,
Know that a heart, faithful and true, will take you, to your Soul's Abode.

“The Static Sea of Energy”
© 2012 David Patrick Bryan
The Static Sea of Energy ... our original face,
A boundless sea of Spirit ... filled up all of space.
The Static sea of Energy ... withdrew into itself,
And when the smallest part did spark, desires to express were felt.
Energy cannot be created or destroyed,
But energy can be ... inwardly employed.
The cosmos were created, ... built from music and math,
The need of companionship ... moved that cry to laugh.
Energy cannot be created or destroyed,
And energy can never be … a void.
This Symphony of Life, this gift of free will,
These blessings of diversity, and dreams with sails and wheels.
Moves man to reach beyond, the borders of our soul.
And begs to ask the question, what beyond … growing old.
The Static Sea of Energy ... into we do blend,
our individuality ... will never end,
We are all apart of all ... of all that is,
the Static Sea of Energy... is where ... we live.

Butterfly, beautiful, Butterfly, Butterfly, look at you go,
Butterfly, wonderful, Butterfly, Butterfly,
so softly you flow-w-w,
Just look at those beautiful wings you have,
without a care you float on air,
I feel all the happiness, you bring,
I can't help, but stare at my Butterfly,
Butterfly, magical. Butterfly, Butterfly, don't, fly away,
Butterfly, amazing, Butterfly, Butterfly, oh please stay-y-y,
I wish I could fly with you up in the sky,
And see everything that you fly by,
I wish I could be everywhere you've been,
and go there again, with my Butterfly
I know you must go, but for today, Butterfly, won't you stay?
I know you must go, on the breath of the wind,
will I ever see you again? Butterfly, Butterfly, please stay,
Butterfly, beautiful, Butterfly, magical, Butterfly, don't fly away,
Butterfly, amazing, Butterfly, wonderful, Butterfly, please stay,

"I Can See It All"
© 2012 David Patrick Bryan
When I looked into your eyes, I could see the Universe,
It took me by surprise, it was so unrehearsed, I can see it all
The beauty of it all, is how we fit together,
The glory of it all, we will love forever, I can see it all
[Bridge 1]
It seems I've always known you, In me you've always been,
You are the best part of me, oh when did it begin?
Were we made for each other? Then sent our separate ways?
Heaven knew I'd find you, as Angels count the days, I can see it all
[Chorus 1]
I can see it all, So clear it does shine,
And brings us together, One Heart, One Soul, One Mind,
{Verse 2}
When I look into your eyes, I see the Love we share,
I'll always have you near, I'll always know you care, I can see it all
When I look into your smile, I feel our happiness,
We will always share the joy, of a love that's truly blessed
I can see it all
[Bridge 2]
Love must come from, deep within the soul,
Heaven's greatest gift, more than all the gold,
With gold we yearn for more, with love we are whole,
With you in my arms, Heaven does unfold , I can see it all
{Chorus 2}
I can see it all, So clear it does shine, And brings us together, One Heart, One Soul, One Mind, I can see it all, I can see it all,

"More Than a Woman" © 2017 David Patrick Bryan
The Face of an angel, with eyes that smile at me,
Her beauty stole my vision, she's all I can see
Her embrace warms the heart, and sets the spirit free,
She's more than a woman, she's everything to me,
Little ones gather round', they all want her to play,
They feel real kindness, in everything she'll say,
Her embrace warms their heart, and sets their spirit free,
She's more than a woman, she's everything to me,
She feels love... so deeply, a love made of gold,
She gives love ... completely, from her heart, and from her soul, (Intro)
She's always has the time, to listen to what I say,
I only want to hold her and love in her lovin' ways,
Her embrace warms my heart, and sets my spirit free,
She's more than a woman, she's everything to me,
She feels love... so deeply, a love made of gold,
She gives love ... completely, from her heart, and from her soul,
From her heart, and from her soul...

Oh what a day, what a wonderful day,
Everything is good, everything is right.
Oh what a sight, basking in its light,
One could only pray for this wonderful day.
Something so real, so real one feels,
Its warmth and joy, it’s peace and there will be
More, I’m sure, unending love in store,
Oh what a day, what a wonderful day,
Feel, feel the awe, Love Unconditional
Oh what a place, what a wonderful place,
Farther than we see, larger than eternity,
Filled with love and grace, not another place
Could be, so care free-e-e, so care free.
Listen, hear the call, Love Unconditional
This is the day I see; love is the real re-ality
Oh and don’t you know, it takes love, to make love grow.
Oh what a night, what a wonderful night,
No fear, no fright, everything’s alright.
Only Love, Unconditional Love,
One could only pray for this wonderful day.
Wonderful day, wonderful day.

Light of Love
© 2011 David Patrick Bryan
Where is the day, war goes away? Where is the dawn of understanding?
Ignorance was angered, fathered by greed,
death by its demanding. Will Nature ever absolve,
our sins of anger and greed, Sins that Fear embraces yet,
Fear fears kindness in deeds.
Oh come to me peace of peace, I have such faith today,
I believe all need to believe, and walk that way.
Walk towards life and living, walk towards love and grace,
Towards sharing and giving, with the light of love on your face.
Where is the day, Love’s the only way,
where’s the warmth of the sun? No fear to face, go anyplace,
friends with everyone Life will always provide,
all we need is inside. Deeds of kindness and grace,
shine the light of love on your face. Shine the light of love on your face

Where Ocean meets the sky, On endless sea
Barefoot walkin’ on the sand, The holding of hands
Oooooooo She Touches Me
Her easy communications, Her gentle pleas,
Her plans for tomorrow, Her sharing of sorrow,
Ooooooo She touches me
When I have no-where to go, And have nowhere to hide,
She takes me to her soul, Her soul deep inside,
She holds my heart to hers, And tells me what she sees,
Offering her tears, She touches me
She’s so ready to give, She loves this life we live,
She’s so ready to share, She really really cares,
And when my troubles come, She knows what’s to be done,
She reaches out, Oooo she reaches out,
Mmm she reaches out, And she touches me,
She reaches out, Oooo She reaches out,
She reaches out, And she touches me

“Someone Angered the Gods”
© 2013 David Patrick Bryan
A hell of a storm a-head, someone angered the gods,
They cursed the blessed, just to even up the odds?
Why rock the boat, just because you can?
Is the truth to much ... to understand?
Is the one for all, for all being one?
Or do lies imply all being none?
Are we special, or are we cloned, (stop)
Made in the Kings image or made to be alone?
Now after our rook was stormed and purged
From all the lies our bishops did urge,
Were we pawns in this messy match,
Too weak to loosen this heavenly latch?
A hell of a storm a-head, someone angered the gods,
They cursed the blessed, just to even up the odds?
Why rock the boat, just because you can?
Is the truth to much ... to understand?
Are we recycled, or are we not?
Do we have past lives, is that what we got?
Was the whole truth held from most everyone?
Lies do hinder but can be undone!
The baby in the bathwater, one way to live,
But the whole picture is best to give,
The truths' so special, life's basic core,
Find the truth, have life and more!
A hell of a storm a-head, someone angered the gods,
They cursed the blessed, just to even up the odds?
Why rock the boat, just because you can?
Is the truth to much ... to understand?
Don't go playing the odds! It might anger the gods!

“ANGELS’ KISS”
© 2013 David Patrick Bryan
I was so tired I had to lay down,
My mind relaxed to the tune of no sound,
In that darken room, in the corner of my eye,
I saw an angels’ kiss, I felt her tiny lips,
Just barely touch mine.
So soft so gentle, so tender, so sublime,
I felt so special, for Heaven to remind,
That life still matters, oh life can be so kind,
This is so true,
[Bridge]
No need to worry, it seems like things work out
All I need is an angels’ kiss, All I need is an angels’ kiss,
All it takes is an angels’ kiss to take away all my doubt
Now when I lay me down to sleep,
And before I pray my soul to keep,
I remember the gentle tiny lips and the love,
From an Angels’ Kiss

I’m goin’ down, to the sinner of the city
I’m goin’ down, to the sinner of the city
I have to go, isn’t it a pity
He wants to run, but I’ll only walk,
He wants me to run, but I’ll only walk,
He says a lot, but he’s only talk.
[chorus]
And when I smile, it made him mad,
And when I laugh, it made him sad,
He’s only good, at being bad.
He’ll sway his way, this sinner of the city,
He’ll sway his way, this sinner of the city,
If you want yours, you have to be witty.
He’ll fight all day, cause he’s very strong,
He’ll fight ya day, oh and he’s very strong,
He thinks he’s right, but you know he’s wrong.
[chorus]
And when I smile, it made him mad,
And when I laugh, it made him sad,
He’s only good, at being bad.

Love makes the children free, makes the children learn to feel,
Love makes the children see, to know that Love is very real,
O-o-o O-o-o, They Are, O-o-o O-o-o, Shinning Stars,
Love will come, every day, and help the children learn to play,
We'll share our love in what we say, For soon they'll leave and go, their way.
There was a child who gave so much, He healed us all with just His touch,
He taught us all, Love's the Way, His Love is with us still today.
O-o-o O-o-o, They Are, O-o-o O-o-o, Shinning Stars,
O-o-o O-o-o, They Are, Ah-h-h-h-h-h, Shinning Stars.
We roll the dice, we make mistakes, We live, we love, we a-wake,
Upon our hearts, there may be scars, Yet we will see our children, Shinning Stars
Love makes our world alive, makes our Venus, makes our Mars,
Love makes our world survive, makes the children Shinning Stars.

"Somewhere"
© 2015 David Patrick Bryan
Written by David Patrick Bryan & Melody Bryan Lendl
Somewhere, I stay in yesterday, and there is where I stay a lot,
I often go into the woods, "I go to where I'm not".
I come upon a shallow creek, Clear water ... all alone,
I think that I'll, take a chance, and hop from stone to stone.
The sun, it's shinning through the trees, It warms my weary mind,
A lovely day is just ahead, gloomy thoughts left behind.
The air is gentle, cool and clear, a simple breeze about,
I stop to listen to the leaves, brush away, my doubts.
In this forest of the trees, each one does surrounds me,
All are different, yet all the same, for none could ever flee.
So all the trees go nowhere, but up for all to see,
They seem to be, quite content, being all they can be.
Weary I find I need to rest, mindless is all I've got,
Slumber finds me, I must confess, "I go to where I'm not".
(pause)
But now, oh my I'm in the sky, I see the world below,
I didn't know that I could fly, yet with a thought I go!
So pretty the tops of trees and hills, all covered in snow,
It must be cold, you'd think I'd freeze, but I'm fine don't you know?
I'm going higher, further beyond, with passion burning hot,
To see the stars, Jupiter and Mars, "I go to where I'm not!"
But then, the lights of this cosmic sea,
Those very lights, are growing thin,
I feel a paralyzing force, a force that's pulling me,
I try to struggle to keep a grip, of where I've always been.
It's like I'm holding onto, a crystal candle chandelier,
And as each, and every candle dies, I fight to endure
Oh I'm in awe, and I'm afraid, anyone would be in fear?
For this darkest darkness, engulfs all, way too fast and sure,
Then faster and faster and faster I go,
As I ride this fatal merry-go-round,
Down deeper and darker into this hole,
No light, no space, no thought, no sound.
(all stops)
And then ... I turn around ... I see ...
That a small speckle of light endured,
A spark of life, light-years away,
Maybe I'm crazy, but I am sure,
I'll make it there, sometime today.
Oh and my mind is filling, with thoughts so sweet,
Thoughts that tells me I'm no longer alone,
And before my thoughts, become complete,
I find myself, where I feel at home.
It's so different here, than where I came from,
With its lights of music, and notes of grace,
It's golden streets, of laughter and fun,
Everyone's in love, in this wonderful place.
We are a part of all that is,
And all, are parts, of who we are,
We've reached for love since we were kids,
We need not stop, we come too far.
And yes, we do live forever,
With all strain and pain forgot,
For now we know that we will never,
Need to go to where we're not...
