BEAUTIFUL ANGELS

WRITTEN BY: J.R HILTON

DECEMBER 2016

THIS SONGS FOR MY FATHER

THIS SONGS FOR MY MOTHER AND A BROTHER

MY GRANDPARENTS AND TOO MANY OTHERS

LEFT US EARLY ON NEVER TO RETURN

MUCH TO MY DISMAY

BUT THERE WAS NOTHING I COULD SAY

IT WAS TOO LATE

BEAUTIFUL ANGELS THAT FOUND THEIR WAY

TO SOMETHING OTHER THAN ANOTHER DAY

WATCHING OVER ME

AND I HAVE TO WONDER

WHAT WOULD YOU SAY TO ME

YOU KNOW THAT SOMETIMES YOU HAUNT MY DREAMS

EVEN THOSE IN THE DAY

AND I STILL DON'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY  

YOUR ABSENCE DOESN'T GO UNNOTICED

THE LIVES YOU LEFT BEHIND

BEGAN TO UNRAVEL, STARTED TO UNWIND 

 SOME OF US RECOVERED

SOME OF US NEVER DID

SOME OF US DIDN'T SHOW OUR FEELINGS

WE KEPT THEM HID

THE THINGS YOU TRIED TO TEACH ME

BUT YOU COULDN'T REACH ME

DID YOU GIVE UP, I DON'T FEEL YOU NEAR

YOU'RE THE ONE I NEED TO HEAR

SHOW ME A LIGHT IF YOU HEAR ME

SHOW ME A SIGN THAT YOU'RE HERE, I'M JUST SAYING 

SORROW HANGS IN MY SHADOW

FEEDS MY ADDICTIONS,DICTATES MY TOMORROWS

I DON'T KNOW HOW TO MAKE PEACE WITH YOU

IT'S SOMETHING I WISHED THAT I KNEW

I CAN'T FOLLOW YOUR FOOTSTEPS

I CAN'T TAKE YOUR ADVICE

ALL I CAN DO IS FEND FOR MYSELF

AND HOPE THINGS TURN OUT NICE

BUT I STILL DON'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY

DON'T KNOW WHAT TO TELL YOU

I WISH I KNEW A WAY

BEAUTIFUL ANGELS

THAT FOUND THEIR WAY

TO SOMETHING DIFFERENT THAN ANOTHER DAY

Lyrics: This Wicked Life

THIS WICKED LIFE

WRITTEN BY: J.R HILTON

2016

THIS BURDEN ON MY SHOULDERS

THIS TROUBLE IN MY MIND

IS EATING UP ALL MY PEACE

AND TAKING ALL MY TIME

THERE'S SOMETHING THAT I'VE MISSED 

ONLY I'M NOT SURE WHAT IT IS

I WAS HEADED TO WHERE I WAS GOING

ALL I HAD WAS A BIT OF FAITH 

BUT IF I'D ONLY KNOWN

 I'D GET LEFT OUT IN THE COLD

WONDERING WHAT I'VE DONE

TOO LATE TO TURN AROUND

TOO OLD TO CHANGE

JUST A LITTLE ECCENTRIC

AND SOMEWHAT STRANGE

NEVER SURE IF I SHOULD FOLLOW OR LEAD

I'VE TRIED BOTH AND I CONCEDE

IS IT WORTH IT TO PROCEED

OR THROW MY HANDS UP IN THE AIR

IN DESPAIR AND FADE AWAY

RIGHT WHERE I LAY

IN TIMES OF REFLECTION I RECALL

SOMETIMES THINGS WEREN'T SO BAD AT ALL

THIS WICKED LIFE WILL RUN YOU DOWN

TAKE YOU PLACES YOU MIGHT NOT WANT TO BE

IT'S SO HARD, TO KEEP YOURSELF FREE

DOWN ON THE WRONG SIDE

I COULD USE A HAND TO SAVE ME

LIFT ME OUT BE MY WINGS

SHOW ME HOW IT'S DONE AND EVERYTHING

SO WHERE IS THIS HERO

THIS SAVIOR COME CALLING

FOR NOW I'M WAITING, BUT IT'S HARD TO HOLD ON

A MAN IN MY SHOES

CAN'T AFFORD TO BUY TIME

CAUGHT SOMEWHERE DOWN THE LINE

RIGHT BETWEEN THE MOON AND THE BLUES

CONFLICTING VIEWS, I DON'T LIKE TO LOSE

ALL I WANT IS TO GIVE WHAT I'VE GOT LEFT

FOR SOME SAMENESS AND SECURITY

IS THAT TOO MUCH TO ASK FROM ME

ALL I WANT IS SOME PEACE OF MIND

FOR THIS LIFE TO BE A LITTLE KIND

SO WHERE IS THIS HERO

THIS SAVIOR COME CALLING

TIMES RUNNING OUT NO STALLING

Just a poem about years long gone by.

REMINISCE

WRITTEN BY: J.R HILTON 

DECEMBER  2016 

LOOKING BACK ON THE SERENITY

OF MY YESTERYEAR'S

THE QUIET TIMES, AND WHAT I FEARED

IMAGINED OR REAL

SOME OF IT I STILL FEEL

OUT IN THE FIELDS WORKING ALL DAY

DRIVING THE TRACTOR, BAILING HAY

SUNNY HOT SUMMER DAY

ONE THING ON MY MIND

GETTING FINISHED ON TIME

STANDING OUTSIDE, LOOKING AT THE MOON

OR THE SUN

FRAMED BETWEEN THE PINES

PUT ME AT PEACE EVERYTIME

I STILL HAVE THAT PICTURE RIGHT HERE IN MY MIND

IN THE WINTER WOODS

ALL BY MYSELF

ONLY SOUND I HEAR

IS THE LONESOME WHISTLE

OF SOME OLD TRAIN ON THE RUN

FOLLOWING RABBIT TRACKS, JUST FOR FUN

 SITTING IN A STONE BOAT

HOLDING ON FOR DEAR LIFE

LOOKING FOR ROCKS, LEFT AND RIGHT 

PEDDLING  DOWN TO THE CREEK 

WIND AT OUR BACKS

ON A WINNING STREAK

MY FRIENDS AND I

PLAYING IN THE SUN

SPLASHING IN THE WATER

HAVING US SOME FUN

NO ONE WANTS TO LEAVE

BUT WE ALL LEAVE TOGETHER

OUR SKIN ALL AGLOW

OUR EYES SPARKLING WITH MISCHIEVOUS YOUTH

I DON'T LIKE TO LIVE IN THE PAST

BUT SOMETIMES I GO THERE WHEN

I THINK THE FUTURE WON'T LAST

TIMES WERE SO GENTLE THEN

HIDING EVERYTHING AROUND THE BEND

IF I'D ONLY KNOWN

SO MANY THINGS I WOULD HAVE CHANGED

I CAN STILL SEE THE FROZEN CLOTHES

BLOWING IN THE WIND

ANTICIPATING SUMMER AGAIN

ALL THAT'S LEFT THERE NOW

IS A FEW OLD TREES AND STONES

AND SO MANY FOND MEMORIES

REMINISCE, UNTIL MY EYES TURN TO MIST

AT THE MERE THOUGHT OF ALL OF THIS

IT WAS GONE

WRITTEN BY: J.R HILTON

DECEMBER 2016

WENT BACK TO THE OLD PLACE

AND IT WAS GONE

IT WAS MY SANCTUARY

AND MY HOME FOR SO LONG

THE GOOD TIMES WE HAD THERE

TOO MANY TO COUNT 

THERE'S NOTHING LEFT BUT THIS OLD TREE

AND A FEW OLD BRICKS STARING BACK AT ME

THE TIMES HERE, I NEVER REALIZED WHAT I HAD

KIND OF MAKES ME SAD

THE PICTURES, REAL AND IN MY HEAD

ARE NEVER COMING BACK

IT'S LIKE THEIR DEAD

A VICTIM OF TIME

MEASURED IN YEARS

CAUGHT SOMEWHERE BETWEEN

THE MEMORIES AND FEARS

I COULD GET LOST HERE WITHOUT LEAVING

I COULD BE ANYTHING I WANTED

JUST BY BELIEVING

DID I SPEND TOO MUCH TIME DREAMING

EVERYBODY COMING AND GOING

ALWAYS SOMEONE THERE

STILL PLENTY OF ROOM TO BE ALONE

AT ANY GIVEN TIME

PEACE ON EARTH WAS MINE

THIS PLACE WAS AN EMPIRE

THIS PLACE USED TO SHINE

I TURNED AROUND TO SEE WHAT LIFE WAS LIKE

AND WHEN I TURNED BACK, IT WAS GONE

NOW I'M GATHERING UP THE MEMORIES

THAT I LEFT BEHIND

JUST THE ONES THAT I CAN FIND

EVERYBODY SCATTERED ON THE FOUR WINDS

JUST LIKE THIS PLACE THEIR GONE

WALKED AWAY ONE LAST TIME

I'LL NEVER SEE THIS PLACE AGAIN

I ONCE THOUGHT TIME STOOD STILL HERE

BUT IT WAS MOVING ON THE BREEZE

AND IN EACH BURNING SUNSET

FRAMED BETWEEN THE TREES

RAGGED CANYONS

WRITTEN BY: J.R HILTON 

DECEMBER 2016

I SEE THE MOON 

LOOKING BACK AT ME

BACK-LIGHT FOR A FOREST OF DREAMS

LIGHTS UP A NORTHERN OWL ON THE WING

WOLVES HOWLING ON A HILL 

MAKES ME SHIVER

GIVES ME A CHILL

BIG YELLOW MOON

TRACING ACROSS THE SKY 

SWIMMING THROUGH THE STARS

LAUGHING AS IT PASSES

ON IT'S FIRST TRY

AND I CAN'T SEEM TO LOOK AWAY

MESMERIZED 

DOWN BELOW

AS THE TREES ALL GLOW

UNLOCKING MYSTERIES

SOFTLY AS WE GO

FOLLOWING FOOTSTEPS IN THE SNOW

 WHO KNOWS WHAT EACH NIGHT WILL BRING

MAYBE TOMORROW

THE NORTHERN LIGHTS WILL SING

TREASURE AND RICHES

MAY NOT BE WHAT YOU THINK 

THEY'RE ALL AROUND YOU

AND DEEP WITHIN

CAN YOU FEEL IT RISE

CATCH A SPARK IN YOUR EYES

RAGGED CANYONS

COVERED IN MIST

AS SEETHING WATERS CHURN

HEADING FOR THE SEA

EAGLES DARE HIGH ABOVE

GIVE ME THE MOUNTAINS

AND I'LL SHOW YOU LOVE

PRISTINE, CRYSTAL CLEAR STREAM

MOVING THROUGH THE TREES

MOSTLY UNSEEN

WATERFALLS, TALKING UP A STORM

LISTEN TO WHAT THEY HAVE TO SAY

HURRY DOWN, THEN MOVE STEADILY ON

LESSONS FROM MOTHER EARTH

FROM CRADLE TO GRAVE

NOTHING EVER STAYS THE SAME

IT JUST GETS BETTER OR WORSE

YOU CAN MAKE IT A BLESSING

OR MAKE IT A CURSE

WHEN LEAVES FALL

ONE BY ONE AND ALL

ALL GONE TO GROUND

THERE'S A HUSH, WITHIN THE WOOD

A SILENT SNOW, FILLING THE VOIDS

NEW DAY

NEW LANDSCAPE TO DREAM AWAY

WHAT OF THIS WORLD IN WHITE

GEESE ON THE WING

HEADED FOR THE LIGHT

STANDING HERE

IN A BLANKET OF SILENCE

BUT I'M STILL IN AWE

WHAT I'VE SEEN AND WHAT I SAW

Lyrics: Million Reasons

MILLION REASONS

WRITTEN BY: J.R HILTON

DECEMBER 2016

I COULD THINK OF A MILLION REASONS

NOT TO BELIEVE HALF THE THINGS I HEAR

BUT IT'S THE OTHER HALF YOU HAVE TO FEAR

WHY WOULD THESE BE SUCH TROUBLED TIMES

PEOPLE FINALLY WAKING, TO SEE ALL THESE CRIMES 

MOSTLY COMMITTED BY THEIR GOVERNMENTS

AND THEIR LIES

RUTHLESS TO A FAULT, WHERE PEOPLE

 DON'T MATTER MUCH

AS LONG AS YOUR NUMBER

KEEPS FEEDING THE MACHINE

BUT THIS NEW CONSCIOUSNESS THAT'S AWAKENED

HAS THE POWERS IN FEAR

THE END OF ALL THAT'S WRONG, IS DRAWING NEAR

BUT THE LION ISN'T SLEEPING TONIGHT

AS HE SURVEYS HIS KINGDOM IN THE MOONLIGHT

NOT LIKING WHAT HE SEES AND HEARS

SOME ACT AS ABOVE HIM

DOING AS THEY PLEASE

HE KNOWS NOW'S THE TIME

TO BRING THEM TO THEIR KNEES

THERE'S A REASON WHY, THEY CALL HIM KING

HE COMMANDS ALL HE BRINGS

WHEN HE'S AWAKE, HE SEES EVERYTHING

HE UNDERSTANDS JUSTICE, AND WHAT IT MEANS

CALLS HIS PRIDE, TO HIS SIDE

ALL AS ONE ALLIED

SHEER NUMBERS ABOVE THE FOE

GUARANTEES THEIR DEFEAT, HE KNOWS

THE ONES THAT SCATTER ON THE WINDS

WILL BE TAKEN LAST

THEY WON'T GET AWAY, THEY WON'T GET PAST

ONCE THIS THING GETS STARTED

IT WON'T STOP

IT'LL KEEP ON ROLLING

TAKE OUT THE BOTTOM, THEN GO FOR THE TOP

THEY'VE RUN OUT OF PLACES TO HIDE

FORWARD THE HUNTERS CRIED

THINGS WILL NEVER BE THE SAME

FOR THE ONES THAT FORCED US TO PLAY THEIR GAME

I COULD THINK OF A MILLION REASONS WHY

THIS MIGHT TAKE AWHILE

BUT WE'VE GOT TO TRY

JUST LIKE THE LION, NEVER ASKING WHY

IF WILD GETS IT DONE

THEN THAT'S WHAT WE NEED TO BECOME

IT'S ALL IN YOU, AND IN ME TO

LETS SEE WHAT IT CAN DO

Lyrics: Cold Dark Night

COLD DARK NIGHT

WRITTEN BY: J.R HILTON

DECEMBER 2016

DARKNESS EARLY NOW

THE HILLS TURN WHITE

LOOKING DOWN ON CITY LIGHTS

CARS MOVING, BUMPER TO BUMPER SLOW 

HEADED TO WHERE THEY ARE GOING

A FULL MOON IS RISING

AS IT CASTS IT'S LIGHT

ON A COLD DARK NIGHT

SITTING WARM BESIDE THE HEARTH

TIME TO ADD ANOTHER LOG TO THE FIRE

I GET LOST FOR HOURS

MY EYES TAKE ME STRAIGHT THROUGH THE FLAMES

TO THE OTHER SIDE

FANTASY AND REALITY COLLIDE

IT'S A DIFFERENT WORLD

WHERE I GO SOMETIMES

ALWAYS SUMMER THERE

LITTLE BIT OF RAIN

BUT OTHERWISE FAIR

I HEAR YOU CALL MY NAME

AND I'M FALLING THROUGH THE FLAMES

YOU ASK ME IF I WAS ASLEEP

A SECRET THAT I KEEP

A PLACE I CAN GO

WHERE SMILES DON'T KNOW

THE COLD OF WINTERS NIGHT

ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE FIRES LIGHT

 IT'S BURNING LOW

WATCH THE EMBERS GLOW

DIE DOWN ONE BY ONE

UNTIL THERE'S NO MORE THEY'RE ALL DONE

YOU'RE ASLEEP BESIDE ME IN YOUR CHAIR

BLISSFULLY UNAWARE

OF MY LOVE FOR YOU

ON THIS COLD DARK NIGHT

I KISS YOU GENTLY ON YOUR CHEEK

LEAD YOU TO BED AND PULL DOWN THE SHEET

YOU BARELY AWAKEN AND NOW YOU'RE ASLEEP

SOMEWHERE OFF IN A DREAM

MAYBE SOMETHING THAT YOU'VE SEEN

IN THOSE FLAMES

BLISSFULLY UNAWARE, THAT THE SNOW IS FALLING

ON THIS COLD DARK NIGHT

THAT WE WERE DREAMING BY THE FIRELIGHT

LATE IN THE EVENING, LYING WITH YOU

THE WARMTH THAT I FEEL 

LOVE COMING THROUGH

ON THIS COLD DARK NIGHT
