Song for Sophie
Sophie comes to call on sunny days.
A rest stop from the shops. A social getaway.
Sophie brings me cinnamon and songs songs.
We share a hug and a smile. I feel I still belong.
Sophie, you’re a dreamer.
Long ago I was a dreamer too.
There are days I feel defeated.
Don’t let them ever take away your dreams from you.
Sophie’s got her plans. She’s got big dreams.
She’s run around the world. Seen things I’ve never seen.
She talks of younger days and college tries.
Confesses late night loves and other petty crimes.
Sophie’s a believer.
It’s nice to have someone believe in you.
Says, “Inspiration. Never envy.”
Don’t let them ever tell you your beliefs aren’t true.
“And so it’s time to take my leave,” she’ll say.
“I’ve got some big to-dos and mustn’t overstay.”
She could stay forever. I wouldn’t mind.
Sophie, where were you when I was twenty-five?
Sophie’s a believer.
It’s nice to have someone believe in you.
Says, “Inspiration. Never envy.”
Don’t let them ever tell you your beliefs aren’t true.
Sophie, you’re a dreamer.
Long ago I was a dreamer too.
There are days I feel defeated.
Don’t let them ever take away your dreams from you.

When I See the Light
Don’t know where I’m going to wake up tomorrow.
Don’t know where I’m sleeping tonight.
Don’t know which way I’m heading in the morning.
Guess I’ll find out when I see the light.
Don’t know where I lost my direction.
Don’t know when I lost all my fight.
Don’t know how I’ll find my salvation.
Guess I’ll know when I see the light.
When I see the light it surely will guide me.
When I see the light it’ll carry me home.
When I see the light all will be forgiven.
And I know I won’t be alone.
Don’t know where I stumbled into darkness.
Don’t know how my days became nights.
Don’t know when my tomorrows became yesterdays.
But someday I will see the light.
When I see the light it surely will guide me.
When I see the light it’ll carry me home.
When I see the light all will be forgiven.
And I know I won’t be alone.
