The Way We Used To Be

THE WAY WE USED TO BE

WRITTEN BY: J.R HILTON

2017

DO YOU REMEMBER THOSE TIMES WE USED TO HAVE
SO MANY YEARS AGO
WE OWNED THE NIGHT ALONE
CLOAKED IN A CURTAIN OF MAGIC
WE COULD DO NO WRONG
EVERYWHERE WE WENT WE GOT ALONG 
BLACK AND WHITE TO COLOR, ROCKETS TO THE MOON
PEACE AND LOVE AND VIETNAM 

NO BOUNDARIES TO HOLD US
WE SCATTERED ON THE WINDS
TO FIND THE MEANINGS, TO WALK INTO SUNSETS
TO BE FREE
I USED TO WONDER WHERE YOU WERE 
HOPED THAT YOU WERE OKAY
THEN PUT IT OUT OF MY MIND
A THOUSAND OTHER THINGS COMING AT ME
DISCOVERING EACH ONE TAKES TIME

SWEPT UP BY LIFE, HANGING ON
SOMETIMES ONLY BY A THREAD
WE'VE ALL HAD DAYS WE DREAD 
IT COULDN'T BE ANY DIFFERENT 
WE'VE ALL HAD DAYS THAT WERE BRILLIANT
FROM START TO END
I MISS THE WAY WE USED TO BE 
WHATEVER HAPPENED TO YOU
HOPE IT WAS GOOD

THIS WORLD, THESE WORDS, THESE TIMES
MAY NOT BE IDEAL
BUT THEIR ALL WE'VE GOT 
WHAT OF THE TIME THAT GOT BETWEEN US
FORTUNES WON AND LOST
I NEVER THOUGHT I'D SEE YOU AGAIN
I'M HAPPY TO SEE YOU STANDING HERE
A LOVELY VISION REACHING HIGH TO THE SUNS GOLDEN GLOW
THE GAP BETWEEN THE THINGS I HEARD AND THE THINGS I KNOW

BACK TO THE BEGINNING TO START AGAIN
HOW ABOUT YOU MY FRIEND
I'D LIKE TO HEAR WHAT YOU'VE GOT TO SAY
TIME DIDN'T DROP YOU HERE WITHOUT A REASON
WHAT'S IN YOUR HEART, WHAT'S IN YOUR MIND
LAY IT ON THE LINE

A Piece Of The Dream

A PIECE OF THE DREAM

WRITTEN BY J.R HILTON

2017

PART OF THE FOREST, PART OF THE STREAM

PART OF THE SKY, A PIECE OF THE DREAM

A PART OF EVERYTHING

I'M THE WIND, I'M THE SUN

THE MOON THE DAY AND NIGHT

LIGHT AND DARK, I'M THE STARS UP IN THE SKY

I'M THE EARTH, I'M THE RAIN

MEADOWS FULL OF FLOWERS, FIELDS FULL OF GRAIN

I'M THE GOOD, I'M THE BAD

I'M ALL THAT IN BETWEEN

PART OF EVERYTHING

I AM THE SAND I AM THE HILLS

THE ROSES AND THE DAFFODILS 

THE WATER LAPPING AT THE SHORE

A PIECE OF THE DREAM, A PART OF EVERYHTING

 YOU CAN PLAINLY SEE, I'M JUST ME 

SOMETIMES I'M THE SEA ON A DARK MOONLESS NIGHT 

SOMETIMES I'M A DIAMOND DAZZLING SHINING BRIGHT 

I'M THE ROAD THAT TAKES YOU HOME

THE KEY THAT TURNS THE LOCK IN THE DOOR

I'M THE WINGS THAT HELP YOUR SPIRIT SOAR 

I AM THE PATH I'M THE WAY 

I AM THE WORDS I AM THE DAY 

JUST ANOTHER PIECE OF THE DREAM

THAT HOLDS US ALL TOGETHER

I AM THE SMILES IN HAPPY TIMES

I AM THE TEARS WHEN YOU ARE SAD 

THE HOURS YOU FRITTERED AWAY

ALL THE JOY YOU FOUND

WHAT LEFT YOU SPELLBOUND 

I AM THE HEARTACHE, I AM THE CURE

I AM DISTANT I AM NEAR 

I'M THE VALLEY, PART OF THE MOUNTAIN

ANOTHER PIECE OF THE DREAM 

THE FABRIC THAT HOLDS US TOGETHER

COMING APART AT THE SEAMS 

I AM PEACE, I AM WAR

I AM ENLIGHTENED MORE AND MORE

I'M THE EARLY MORNING MIST

HANGING OVER THE FIELDS 

A POOL IN A BABBLING BROOK

GO AHEAD AND TAKE A LOOK 

WHAT DO YOU SEE

A PART OF THE STREAM

YOUR REFLECTION A PIECE OF THE DREAM

PART OF EVERYTHING

I'M THE DANCE UP CLOSE AND SLOW

THE KISS ON YOUR NECK THAT MAKES YOU GLOW

Along The Shoreline

ALONG THE SHORELINE

WRITTEN BY: J.R HILTON

2017

SUNBEAMS HANGING FROM THE TREES

CURTAINS STIRRING IN A BREEZE

THE WATERS GENTLE RHYTHM 

LAPPING AT THE SHORE

DAYS GO SLOW AND BEG FOR MORE

THE MOON HANGS HIGH ABOVE THE SEA

PEACEFUL SERENITY 

A BECKONING SKY HOLDS MY FASCINATION 

MY SPIRIT FLIES AS STARS BEGIN TO FALL

MOONBEAMS WATCH IT ALL

TO THE EARLY GLOW OF DAWN

ALL ALONG THE SHORELINE

NOTHING BUT SUNSHINE

BOATS RIDING ON THE ROLLING WAVES

FEELS LIKE FREEDOM TASTES THE SAME

LOOKS LIKE HEAVEN CAME HERE TO STAY

LEAVING IS NOT AN OPTION I CAN ENTERTAIN

DO I REALLY HAVE TO EXPLAIN

WHAT'S SO PLAIN TO SEE

MAGIC SPELL BINDING HAS GOT A HOLD ON ME

HELD FAST IN THIS SERENITY

SENSES FILLED TO CAPACITY

NIGHT COMES SOFTLY FALLING

CALLING THE END OF DAY

AS THE WESTERN GLOW FADES AWAY

STARS GATHER IN A MOON KISSED SKY 

THE MYSTICAL FEEL OF IT ALL

THE MAGICAL ASPECT COME TO CALL

SO MUCH TO TAKE IN

IN SO LITTLE TIME

I'LL BE BACK TOMORROW LOOKING FOR A SIGN 

MEANT JUST FOR ME

I CAN HEAR IT ALL SPEAKING TO ME

NOW I KNOW I UNDERSTAND

 WHAT IT MEANS TO BE A FREE MAN

THE TIDE AS IT TURNS

BACK TO THE SEA

I CAN FEEL IT PULLING ME

TO THE DEEP BLACKNESS

WASHED BY THE MOON

BENEATH A STARRY SKY

BUT I'M NOT FINISHED HERE I'M NOT READY

TO SAY GOODBYE

SO MUCH SWEETNESS

I'M GATHERING ALL I CAN

DAWN BEGINS TO BREAK AGAIN

LEAVING IT'S MARK ON MY CONSCIOUSNESS

ALL ALONG THE SHORELINE

NOTHING BUT SUNSHINE 

 

GOOD DAY/ BAD DAY AS I SEE IT: Tear It Down

Tear It Down

TEAR IT DOWN

WRITTEN BY J.R HILTON

2017

MAKE NO MISTAKE

A BROKEN HEART CAN BRING YOU DOWN ALL THE WAY

BLACK DARKNESS BEFORE MY SWOLLEN EYES

STRUGGLE TO TAKE BACK CONTROL

IF I ONLY KNEW, SAW THIS COMING FROM YOU

MAYBE I WOULDN'T BE THIS FAR IN

I PUT MY TRUST OUT IN THE OPEN

FOR YOU TO SEE

YOU TOOK IT AND CAME TO STAND BY ME

STEP BY STEP THROUGH THIS LIFE 

IT WAS GOING GOOD OR SO I THOUGHT

YOU GO AHEAD AND CHANGE YOUR MIND

AND THERE WAS NO WAY TO CHANGE IT BACK

A RAINBOW OF COLORS FADES TO BLACK

WITH HEAVY HEART MY PLANE DISAPPEARS INTO THE SKY 

NO POINT IN LOOKING BACK 

I DIDN'T WRITE THE END

CAN'T EMBRACE THE MESSAGE YOU SEND

TEAR IT DOWN TO THE GROUND

I'LL MAKE THE CUT MYSELF

NO MORE TEARS AND WHY'S

NO MORE TIES

JUST ANOTHER ENDING, FOR A HEART ALREADY SCARRED

THINK IT WOULDN'T BE SO HARD

ALL I'VE GOT IS EXACTLY WHAT I SEE 

LOOKING BACK FROM THE MIRROR AT ME

I SHOULD OF NEVER PLAYED FOR KEEPS

KEPT MY HEART TO MYSELF

IT'S NOT LIKE I HAVEN'T LOST AT LOVE BEFORE 

WHY WOULD I GO BACK FOR MORE

MAYBE MY HOPES ARE TOO HIGH 

EACH TIME I SEE ANOTHER DREAM DIE

HOPES THE ONLY THING LEFT

WITHOUT HOPE WHAT'S TO CARRY ON

SOMETHING I'VE BEEN SAVING

THAT NO ONE CAN SHAKE LOOSE

ONLY THING THAT'S ALL MINE

ALL THE COLOR THAT WAS FADED

IS SLOWLY COMING BACK

BLACK DARKNESS GIVES WAY TO HOPES AND DREAMS

AND SUNSETS LIKE I'VE NEVER SEEN

 TEAR IT DOWN RIGHT TO THE GROUND 

IT'S ALWAYS BETTER THE NEXT TIME

TEAR IT DOWN, IT'S ALWAYS BETTER

THE NEXT TIME AROUND

WIND CHIMES

WIND CHIMES

WRITTEN BY: J.R HILTON

2017

SOMETIMES I CAN'T HELP LOOKING BACK

TO YEARS PAST AND GONE AWAY

TO FONDEST MEMORIES THAT STILL MAKE ME SMILE 

WHEN I THINK OF THEM TODAY

A SUMMER BREEZE TAKES ME BACK TO LONG AGO

JUST A COUNTRY KID, AND ALL THE THINGS I DID

HEART OF AN EXPLORER, HEAD FULL OF DREAMS 

ALWAYS LOOKING FOR SOMETHING I'D NEVER SEEN

WALKING THROUGH THE FIELDS TOWARDS THE WOODS

I WAS SHANE, I WAS COCHISE, OR SERGEANT ROCK 

SOMETIMES I WAS DAVEY CROCKETT OR DANIEL BOONE

ALL I KNOW IS IT ALL ENDED TOO SOON

LAUGHTER IN THE HAYLOFT, WATER IN THE WELL

LITTLE BROTHERS GONNA TELL 

BLOWING SMOKE RINGS IN AN OLD CAR

TRYING TO FIND OUT WHO WE ARE, FLYING BLIND

CHEWING ON A PIECE OF GRASS

LYING ON MY BACK, LOOKING AT THE SKY

CHURCH BELLS RINGING ACROSS THE FIELD

BEGIN TO FADE AWAY

THEN ANSWERED BY THE WIND CHIMES SONG

ALL SUMMER LONG

ICY WINTERS AND DRIPPING SPRING

PROMISE OF ANOTHER SUMMER AGAIN 

MEMORIES THAT MAKE ME SMILE 

I THINK OF ONCE IN AWHILE

THEY WERE AWKWARD TIMES, BUT WE SURE HAD FUN

TOASTING MARSHMALLOWS IN THE FIRE 

SWEET INNOCENCE AND DESIRE

I FORGET THINGS AND LOSE MY MIND

HAPPENS ALL THE TIME

BUT I CAN'T FORGET THE THINGS THAT SHAPED MY LIFE

TURNED INTO SOMETHING NICE

LOOKING BACK I SEE A DIFFERENT WORLD THAT WAS KIND

COULD UNDERSTAND THE NEEDS OF A BOY OR A MAN

WHENEVER THAT SWEET SUMMER BREEZE BLOWS

CARRYING PRICELESS MEMORIES

STOPS ME IN MY TRACKS

SENDS ME DRIFTING BACK

FREE ENOUGH TO BE

 STANDING ALONE, FEELING FREE

Madman At Sea

MADMAN AT SEA

WRITTEN BY: J.R HILTON

2017

DRIFTING ON A FLAT SEA

A MIRROR TO THE SKY

ALONE MY MIND EXPLODES INTO A KALEIDOSCOPE

WITH NO DISTINCTION OF BEGINNING OR END

NO IDEA OF HOW OR WHEN

WHERE I'M GOING OR WHERE I CAME FROM

 WAITING FOR THE MOON

TO SAVE ME FROM THE SUN

WAITING FOR THE WIND TO SEND ME

ON MY WAY AGAIN

WIDE OPEN SEA,  WIDE OPEN SKY

I'M ON THIS BOAT, AND I CAN'T REMEMBER WHY

I COULD SWEAR A MILLION MILES OF OCEANS PASSED ME BY

AND I HAVEN'T SEEN A SOUL

I GO ON BY GRACE OF GOD

WITH THE DEVIL ON MY HEELS

ON THIS SEA OF MADNESS

COMING FROM DEEP FOR ME

MY OWN INSANITY

GOT ME FALLING THROUGH THE SUN

I GO ON THE SUN RELENTLESSLY FOLLOWING ME

IT'S GOOD TO SEE THE ORANGE RED GLOW

BURNING INTO THE SEA

USHERING IN THE NIGHT

THE SKY AWASH WITH STARS

DON'T KNOW IF I'M GOING IN CIRCLES 

THERE'S NO WAY TO TELL

ON THIS TWISTED SEA OR IS THIS REALLY HELL

MADMAN ON THE WATER

MADMAN ON THE SEA

TAKEN BY THE SUN, DRIVEN TO INSANITY

HOLDING ON BY A THREAD, BUT I'M FREE

IN WHAT'S LEFT OF MY MIND

I'VE GOT NOTHING BUT TIME

DRIFTING ON A FLAT SEA

MIRROR TO THE SKY

NO IDEA OF HOW OR WHY

I GO ON WITHOUT REASON OR CAUSE

I GO ON IN SPITE OF MY FLAWS

DRIFTING ON THE SEA OF MADNESS

THAT HAS NO BEGINNING OR END

THIS COULD GO ON FOREVER

I FEEL LIKE I'M FALLING

 HEADLONG INTO THE STARS 

AND I CAN'T STOP
