From The Cold To The Flame

From The Cold To The Flame By Jesse Scobie

From the beginning till the end
From spring's bosom to winter's dark
From the sleepy hollows o f yesteryear
To the snowy tops of a life complete
Truth always stays the same
From the cold to the flame

From children laughing in delight
From serpent's hissing at the walls
From the girls of love long gone
To the acceptance of what is
It will all continue to change
From the cold to the flame

From prisons of doubt and ceilings of fear
From the depths of a poor man's den
From the pools of a rich man's fountain
To seek the heart of nature
Riding on the forgotten train
From the cold to the flame

From a solemn spot on a dreamy hill
From the moon's sweet summer home
From the blessings of a family tree
To the stars of destiny and fortune
Through sunshine and through rain
We break through all the chains
From the cold to the flame

Traveling Birthday Wishes

Traveling Birthday Wishes By Jesse Scobie


On the beaches of Normandy, I can feel fire in my veins
Through the Indian Ocean I am alive
From the tops of the Pyramids of Giza I feel no more pain
Sleeping in the Yorkshire fields tonight

Sammy's gotta go fishing and I gotta find my keys
Rachel needs a date for the prom
The Statue of Liberty is crumbling to it's knees
Uncle Sam needs to find a new mom

Happy Birthday, I wish I could feel young again
Happy Birthday, so you think it's time to stay friends
Well let's go and see
Where we want to be

In a sleepy misty garden, the druids make amends
Through the diamond sky I still dream
From the Rocky Mountains I sense all the trends
Swimming in Lake Michigan I am redeemed

Billy has to cash the checks and I need cigarettes
Suzy feels the wind creep in
George Washington's tears are of broken bayonets
Santa Claus is breathing thin

Happy Birthday, I wish I could feel young again
Happy Birthday, so you think it's time to stay friends

Well let's go and see
Where we want to be
See what it all means
In this broken down life machine
Of traveling birthday wishes and midnight dreams..
