Once Time Moved Too Slow

(MY HEART AND SOUL GOES INTO EACH AND EVERY ONE OF THESE LYRICS.

ITS MY HOPE THAT EVEN IF ONE PERSON READS IT AND IS AFFECTED IN SOME POSITIVE WAY, THEN I HAVE DONE WHAT I SET OUT TO DO.

SOMETIMES ITS ABOUT OPENING UP OLD FEELINGS AND FOND MEMORIES.

WHILE OTHER TIMES IT MAY EXPLAIN BETTER THE WAY YOU FEEL ABOUT SOMEONE SPECIAL. EITHER WAY ITS ALWAYS ABOUT LIFE)

ONCE TIME MOVED TOO SLOW

WRITTEN BY J.R HILTON

JULY 1, 2018

HERE IT IS

IN ALL ITS COLORFUL GLORY

SOMETIMES BLACK AND WHITE

HERE IT IS OUR LIFE

COME TOGETHER, COME APART

WAITING FOR IT ALL TO START

STARTING OVER GETS EASIER

OR DOES IT

FREEDOM GNAWING AT YOUR HEART

TAUNT YOU, HAUNT YOU

SPIT YOU OUT THE OTHER SIDE

THE PENDULUM SWINGS

DON'T FORGET TO DUCK

SO IT DOESN'T FIND YOU

REMIND YOU WHY YOU'RE HERE

COME TOGETHER KEEP IT THERE

LIKE WALKING ON A CRUMBLING WALL

PUT THE WORK IN

 AND YOU WON'T FALL 

NOTHING ELSE IS GONNA GO WRONG

STRAIGHT FORWARD FROM HERE ON

UP IN THE AIR, OPEN TO DISCUSSION

THERE'S NONE OF THAT THERE

TAKE ME TO THE FUTURE

ONE DAY AT A TIME

SEE IF I LIKE IT, I WOULDN'T MIND

I'LL GET WHAT I DESERVE

AS LONG AS I THINK SO

ONCE TIME MOVED TO SLOW

THE THINGS I'D WISHED I'D KNOWN

NOW IT GOES TOO FAST

 TO WANT IT SLOW

THE MORE YOU WISH

THE FASTER IT ALL GOES

UNDER THE BLUEST SKY

THE DAY CAN TURN DARK AS NIGHT

PEACE CAN BREAK OUT INTO A FIGHT

EXPECT SOMETHING OUT OF THE ORDINARY

BREAK UP THE MONOTONY

BUT AT WHO'S EXPENSE

IT DOESN'T ALWAYS MAKE SENSE

RIGHT TIME, WRONG PLACE

YOU'VE BEEN THERE HAD A TASTE

SWORE YOU'RE NEVER GOING BACK

AND WOULDN'T IT BE NICE

IF ALL WISHES CAME TRUE

NOW YOU'RE FIXING BROKEN RAINBOWS

ONCE TIME MOVED TOO SLOW

YOUR INNOCENCE COULDN'T KNOW

ONCE IT IT GETS STARTED

YOU CAN'T LET GO

EACH MEMORY SAFELY TUCKED AWAY

LOCKED INTO THE RACE

YA HERE IT IS IN ALL OF ITS

COLORFUL GLORY

MAKE IT A BEAUTIFUL STORY

 

PIECE OF MY SOUL ( OUR DAYS)

PIECE OF MY SOUL

Written by: J.R Hilton  Feb.2016

 IN MY DAY AND IN MY WAY

A PIECE OF MY SOUL I PAY

WHEN THE SUN DIPS BELOW THE HILLS 

AND THE PURPLE GLOW FADES TO GRAY

THE STARS COME OUT TO LIGHT MY WAY

IN THE DAWNING OF ANOTHER SPRING

ALL MY THOUGHTS TURN TO SO MANY THINGS

TURN TO LOVE, TURN TO KINDNESS

LEAVING HATE WELL BEHIND US

A TIME FOR GROWTH A TIME FOR GIVING

LET THE SUN SHINE ON OUR DAYS OF LIVING

HERE SHE COMES THE QUEEN OF MAY

LEAD US TO SUMMER DAYS

GOOD TIMES WITH FRIENDS

YOU CAN FEEL IT SURROUND YOU AS IT DESCENDS

SITTING BY THE FIRE LISTENING TO

THE SOUNDS OF THE NIGHT

HAVING A DRINK AND FEELING ALRIGHT 

SUCH IS A SUMMER NIGHT

TAKE TIME, TO UNWIND, LIFE CAN BE SO RUSHED

IN THE WOODS I FEEL AT HOME

WISH I COULD HAVE ONE OF MY OWN

A SUMMER MOON SEEMS SO MUCH SOFTER

SHINING DOWN ON OUR GOOD TIMES

SEEMS TO ME SUMMERS ARE MEANT TO BE SHARED

FROM SOMEWHERE DEEP INSIDE

MY SOUL JUST CRIED, WHEN I WAS DENIED THAT

I MEAN WHO WOULD CHOSE THAT

WISHES IN A JAR

WISHES IN A JAR

SPINNING AROUND THE MOON

MOVING ACROSS THE SKY

MAKES ME HAPPY, I'M NOT SURE WHY

JUST ANOTHER COMFORT IN THE NIGHT

SOMETHING SURE WHEN THING'S AREN'T RIGHT

SOMETHING CHANGES WHEN I LOOK UP AT THE SKY

I FILL WITH AWE, FROM WHAT I SAW

STARS BLINKING ON SATELLITES FLOATING BY

PULLING ON EMOTIONS, MOVING THE TIDE

DAYDREAMS AND MOONBEAMS, FALLING STARS 

AND LITTLE NOTES WITH WISHES IN A JAR

WOULD BE NO MORE

NO MOON SHINING ON THE SEA 

NO MORE MOONLIT WALKS FOR YOU AND ME

THE WORLDS BURNING FAST YOU CAN'T DENY

WOULD YOU REALLY WANT TO SAY GOODBYE

EARTH LAID TO WASTE BY GREED

FORCES TO GIVE UP, CONCEDE

NOTHING LEFT TO GIVE

THAT YOU'D WANT TO SEE

I'M COMING HOME, WAIT FOR ME

THIS WAS SUCH A BEAUTIFUL PLACE

WHEN WE WERE YOUNG

AND TIME WAS YOUNGER

WE'D LOOK UP AT THE MOON

AND KNOW EVERYTHING WOULD BE ALRIGHT

IT GAVE US COMFORT IN THE NIGHT

HARD TO THINK THAT THIS ALL COULD BE GONE

IN SO MANY WAYS IT'S WRONG

YOU LET-EM ROLL RIGHT THROUGH

WHO'S GONNA SAVE US NOW

COME ON IN, IT'S A NEW POST ( IF I'M A LITTLE BETTER)

IF I'M A LITTLE BETTER

THE SKY A KALEIDOSCOPE

OF ORANGE, PURPLE, AND RED

APPROACHING THE NIGHT JUST AHEAD

THESE KINDS OF SUNSETS

ARE FOOD FOR THE SOUL

A PAUSE FOR REFLECTION

A REVIEW OF THE DAY

DID I DO ENOUGH TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE

DID I KEEP MY EGO IN CHECK

DID I LOVE ENOUGH, IS THERE NO REGRET

IF I'M A LITTLE BETTER

THAN I WAS YESTERDAY

THEN I MUST BE DOING SOMETHING RIGHT

JUST A LITTLE MORE EACH DAY

AND MY HEART WILL FLY AWAY

WITH NEW FOUND WINGS

I'LL SPREAD THE JOYS TOMORROW BRINGS

YOU LEARN TO SEE THINGS DIFFERENTLY

WHEN THE WORLD SEEMS SO COLD

DON'T LET IT STEAL YOUR FIRE

OR MAKE YOU GROW OLD

KEEP ON DREAMING WITH THE INNOCENCE OF A CHILD

YOU NEED THE SUN, TO MAKE HAY

IT'S WHAT YOU THINK, AND WHAT YOU SAY

THAT DEFINES YOUR GETAWAY

WE CAN MAKE IT EASY

OR WE CAN MAKE IT HARD

WE CAN HOLD OR, CHOOSE ANOTHER CARD

ONE LOOK INTO MY EYES, YOU CAN SEE THAT

I'VE GOT HEART AND SOUL TO SPARE

YOU COULD PUT ME DOWN

BUT I WOULDN'T CARE

THAT STUFF DON'T STICK TO ME NO MORE

WAS ALREADY THERE I'M GONE

I'M AHEAD I'M ON

A BRAND NEW DAY

YA GET LOST, OR YOU FIND YOUR WAY

FIND YOUR WAY

IF I'M A LITTLE BETTER, TODAY
