SHOESTRING SHANE

Everything is fine, insanity is tamed, when I am with you, and in my vision framed, you are mine again, sweet sweet Mary Jane. I cannot deny your hold on me, you saved me from a dark dream, where it seemed, powder, was an elixir for eternal power, and so I'll sing your name, sweet sweet Mary Jane! I cannot blame you for taking from me, what you have taken, for you protected me, from Brown Sugar on a spoon baking, and earnt more of a claim to me, than she could have ever taken, and so i'm glad i know your name, sweet sweet Mary Jane. so I guess I can say you saved me, and made me wise when you enslaved me! And so I'm glad I learnt your name, and that I became to you chained, and that you called and claimed me, sweet sweet Mary Jane! © 2025 Shoestring Shane www.ShoestringShane.com

If you wish me around, look to the clear and starry sky, to the brightest star, in Heavens bounds, with angels I will fly. That's where I'll be, for you to see, until the time you join me, then free, God's realm shall be to us, for everlasting glory. So fear not, dear soul, but look above, pearlescent, there I'm twinkling, the brightest star, to spark your love, when of me, you come to thinking. Eternal, is my resting place, with God, and there I'll wait, until the day, fate brings you my way, through heavens pearly gate. © 2025 Shoestring Shane www.ShoestringShane.com

I gazed a moment, yonder far, amazed in wonder, upon a star, a light so bright, the skies ablazed, a sight for all prized eyes to praise. I looked about, and there, in glory, the clouds in chorus, sung their story, "How great the light that's raised above, that might eternal, praised by love." Then way off side, I caught in glancing, that nightly ride of dream enchanting, the moon at dance, with grace, entranced, the skies display, by love enhanced. Upon her surface, divine that glow, displayed for every soul to know, from love's creation, her beauty song, for every eye to ponder on. And as I turned to walk away, an angel crossed my path to say, "The chorus of forever's psalm, for God, I lay upon your palm." And in that moments gaze, was lifted, every doubt of what God gifted me, and suddenly I sung, a brand new song had just begun. And time again became my musing, on this new path which God was choosing, and with times ticking, silence came, to issue me...

When hearts dances, pour bleeding. When spirits prances, fall weakened. When the minds glance has lost all reason. When every sense has lost all feeling! When hope flies in one short leaping. When a soul cries in hurts depleting. When dreams run to deep seated longing. When time becomes again, not your belonging. When once sunned days, fall, ever bleaker. When once blazed colours, seem blander, weaker. When each breaths sigh, cries ever deepening. When the time left flowing, slows, ever creeping. When dawn birds sing no new fresh greeting. When morn rays bring no new fresh heating. When hope seems lost, and faith is beaten. When from hearts dances, loves retreating! © 2025 Shoestring Shane www.ShoestringShane.com

I can't fly, as much as I may try, to spread my wings wide, and fly, I can't fly! Whilst I may try, to spread my wings and fly, I'll soon find out why, I can't fly! When I fall from the sky, in my attempts to try, to fly, like a bird, high, I'll know, I can't fly! I'll soon find out why, when I fall from the sky, why I cannot fly, even though I still may try! But one day I will fly, way up in that sky, even though I will not try, my Lord will call me high. And I will upward fly, to that golden light, way up in the sky where I shall fly! © 2025 Shoestring Shane www.ShoestringShane.com
