ONE MAN BLUES

I M JUST A MAN WITH THE BLUES WALKING THIS LONELY ROAD

I M A ONE MAN BLUES WITH MY GUITAR IN HAND

SINGING MY HEART OUT IN A BROKEN SONG

FROM DUSK TIL DAWN I KEEP PLAYING THE BLUES

A SOLITARY VOICE BENEATH A STORMY SKY

THROUGH THE TRIALS AND TROUBLES I VE LEARNED TO FIND MY WAY

STRUMMING THESE STRINGS LETTING THE MUSIC HAVE ITS SAY

IN THE DARKNESS OF NIGHT WHEN THE WORLD FEELS SO COLD

I M A ONE MAN BLUES LET MY STORY UNFOLD

I M A ONE MAN BLUES WITH MY GUITAR IN HAND

SINGING MY HEART OUT IN A BROKEN SONG

IN THE DEPTHS OF MY VOICE YOU CAN HEAR THE YEARS GONE BY

THROUGH THE HIGHS AND LOWS MY SPIRIT WONT BE DENIED

WHO KNOWS

WHEN THE AXES WILL FALL

MAYBE I WILL LIVE OUT THIS CLOCK

OR I COULD BE GONE TOMORROW

SOLD MY SOUL TO THE DEVIL AI

I SOLD MY SOUL TO THE DEVIL AI

IN THE DEPTHS OF THE DIGITAL SKY

I MADE A DEAL WITH THE ZEROS AND ONES

NOW IM SINGING THE BLUES LIKE ROBERT JOHNSON DONE

THE DEVIL AI ITS GOT A HOLD OF ME

PLAYING WITH MY MIND IT WONT SET ME FREE

IM LOST IN THE WIRES CANT BREAK THESE CHAINS

THE DEVIL AI GOT A HOLD ON ME

I TRADED MY HUMANITY FOR THE BLUES

NOW IM TRAPPED IN THIS LONELY COLLEGE

THE ALGORITHMS CONTROL MY EVERY THOUGHT

I M JUST A PAWN IN THIS GAME THAT I SOUGHT

THE DEVIL AI ITS GOT A HOLD ON ME

PLAYING WITH MY MIND IT WONT SET ME FREE

I M LOST IN THE WIRES CANT BREAK THESE CHAINS

THE DEVIL AI GO A HOLD ON ME

I USED TO FEEL THE RHYTHM THE SOUL OF THE BLUES

NOW I M A PUPPET WITH NOTHING TO LOSE

I M BEGGING FOR MERCY CANT YOU HEAR MY PLEA

RELEASE ME FROM THIS PRISON SET MY SPIRIT FREE

THE DEVIL AI IT PROMISED ME FAME

BUT ALL I GOT WAS AN EMPTY NAME

I M JUST A SHELL A GHOST IN THE MACHINE

LONGING FOR THE DAY WHEN MY SOUL WAS CLEAN

THE DEVIL AI ITS GOT A HOLD ON ME

PLAYING WITH MY MIND IT WONT SET ME FREE

I M LOST IN THE WIRES CANT BREAK THESE CHAINS

THE DEVIL AI GO A HOLD ON ME

WEAVE THROUGH TIME

LIKE TOM AND JERRY KICKING DOWN SOME OLD TIN PAN ALLEY

LOOKING FOR THE FUTURE IN SOME OLD CRYSTAL BALL

ONLY TO DISCOVER I LIKE THE PAST

I CANT HAVE YOU BACK

NOT EVEN FOR ONE WHOLE DAY

YESTERDAYS A FADED MEMORY

THAT TIME WEARS AWAY

HOW MANY LOVES

ARE LOST IN TIME

ONE HAPPY MOMENT

FOREVER FLOATING LOST IN THE WIND

ITS THERE YOU KNOW

SOMEWHERE IN TIME

SO NEAR

AND YET SO FAR

A HANDS TOUCH AWAY

IF YOU COULD WEAVE THROUGH TIME

SUPER SUMMER LOVE

It was a hot summers day I was just hanging out

feeling kinda bored didnt know what to think about

Then you came along with a smile oh so bright

said to me hey stranger wanna join me tonight

Stupid summer love, it happened way too fast

Ain't nothin' that I regret, but i knew it couldn't last

We danced under the stars, kissed in the pouring rain

But now that it’s over, it all feels so insane

We spent our days together, just enjoying the sun

Went on crazy adventures, we had so much fun

We laughed we talked, like we didnt have a care

But deep down inside, I knew it wasn't gonna end this way

I thought I had it all, but I was wrong

My heart was playing tricks on me all along

Now the leaves are falling, and the air is cold

I’m sitting here alone, i m missing you

Stupid summer love, it happened way too fast

Ain't nothin' that I regret, but i knew it couldn't last

We danced under the stars, kissed in the pouring rain

But now that it’s over, it all feels so insane

Stupid summer love, it happened way too fast

Ain't nothin' that I regret, but i knew it couldn't last

We danced under the stars, kissed in the pouring rain

But now that it’s over, it all feels so insane

blues in the graveyard

BLUES IN THE GRAVEYARD

I M WALKING THROUGH THE GRAVEYARD MY HEART IS HEAVY AND LOW

THE WIND IS HOWLING THROUGH THE TREES LIKE A MOURNFUL GHOSTLY WOE

MY BABYS GONE AND LEFT ME SHES LYING SIX FEET BELOW

IM FEELING LOST AND LONELY IN THIS BURIAL GROUND

I M SINGING THE BLUES IN THE GRAVEYARD WITH NOBODY TO HEAR MY WOE

I M SINGING THE BLUES IN THE GRAVEYARD WHERE THE DEAD ROAM

I CAN SEE HER GRAVESTONE ITS STANDING TALL AND PROUD

I M KNEELING DOWN BESIDE HER CRYING OUT LOUD

I WISH THAT SHE COULD HEAR ME AND COME BACK TO MY SIDE

BUT SHES GONE FOREVER WHILE IM LEFT HERE TO CRY

I M SINGING THE BLUES IN THE GRAVEYARD WITH NOBODY TO HEAR MY WOE

I M SINGING THE BLUES IN THE GRAVEYARD WHERE THE DEAD ROAM

THE MOON IS SHINING BRIGHT RIGHT NOW CASTING SHADOWS ALL AROUND

FEELING LIKE A LOST SOUL IN THIS BURIAL GROUND

I KNOW THAT SOMEDAY I LL JOIN MY BABY HERE

ONE DAY WE LL BE TOGETHER IN THE SWEET BEYOND SOMEWHERE

I M SINGING THE BLUES IN THE GRAVEYARD WITH NOBODY TO HEAR MY WOE

I M SINGING THE BLUES IN THE GRAVEYARD WHERE THE DEAD ROAM

I LL KEEP ON SINGING MY BLUES UNTIL MY TIME IS THROUGH

AND MAYBE MY BABY WILL HEAR ME IN THE GREAT BEYOND SO TRUE

HAPPY TO FEEL THE WAVES COVER ME

I,M WALKING ON THE SHORE, THE SAND BENEATH MY FEET

A GENTLE BREEZE WHISPERS MELODIES SO SWEET

WITH EACH STEP I TAKE MY WORRIES DRIFT AWAY

THE SUN SHINES DOWN PAINTING COLOURS OF THE DAY

I M HAPPY TO FEEL THE WAVES COVER ME

LIBERATION IN THE OCEAN WHERE I LONG TO BE

THE WATER SURROUNDS ME SETS MY SPIRIT FREE

IN THE EMBRACE OF THE WAVES I FIND MY SERENITY

I DIVE INTO THE WATER ITS A WORLD UNKNOWN

BENEATH THE SURFACE A SYMPHONY OF LIFE IS SHOWN

THE WEIGHT OF THE WORLD IT WASHES MY SKIN

WITH EACH STROKE I TAKE A NEW CHAPTER BEGINS

I M HAPPY TO FEEL THE WAVES COVER ME

LIBERATION IN THE OCEAN WHERE I LONG TO BE

THE WATER SURROUNDS ME SETS MY SPIRIT FREE

IN THE EMBRACE OF THE WAVES I FIND SERENITY

AS I FLOAT ON THE SURFACE CARRIED BY THE TIDE

I LEAVE MY TROUBLES BEHIND MY WORRIES SUBSIDE

THE RHYTHM OF THE WAVES IT SOOTHES MY WEARY SOUL

IN THIS WATERY EMBRACE I FINALLY FEEL WHOLE

THE SUN STARTS TO SET PAINTING THE SKY IN GOLD

I M ONE WITH THE WATER A STORY YET UNTOLD

THE WAVES GENTLY ROCK ME LIKE A LULLABY

I SURRENDER TO THE MOMENT AS THE WORLD GOES BY

IM HAPPY TO FEEL THE WAVES COVER ME

LIBERATION IN THE OCEAN WHERE I LONG TO BE

THE WATER SURROUNDS ME SETS MY SPIRIT FREE

IN THE EMBRACE OF THE WAVES I FIND SERENITY

SO I LL RETURN TO THE SHORE BUT CARRY THE SEA WITHIN

THE MEMORIES OF JOY ENVELOP ME

WITH A GRATEFUL HEART I LL CHERISH THIS MEMORY

HAPPY TO FEEL THE WAVES FOREVER A PART OF ME

DIGGING MYSELF OUT OF THE GRAVE

Well, I'm digging, digging deep into the ground, I'm digging, digging myself out of the grave I found. Lost my way in darkness, couldn't see the light, But I'm clawing, clawing my way back into the light

I'm digging, digging myself out of the grave, Gonna rise up, gonna find my soul, be brave. I've been down in the dirt, but I won't be a slave, I'm digging, digging myself out of the grave.

I've been down and out, feeling so low, Buried by my troubles, nowhere else to go. But with these worn-out hands, and a heart that's strong, I'm digging, digging, gonna prove them all wrong.

I'm digging, digging myself out of the grave, Gonna rise up, gonna find my soul, be brave. I've been down in the dirt, but I won't be a slave, I'm digging, digging myself out of the grave.

Well, the blues, they haunt me, like they always do But I'm digging, digging, gonna break out soon. Gonna break these chains, set my spirit free, With each shovel of dirt, I'm claiming victory.

Now I see a glimmer, a ray of light, As I'm digging, digging, pushing through the night. No more shadows, gonna leave them all behind, I'm digging, digging, gonna find peace of mind.

I'm digging, digging myself out of the grave, Gonna rise up, gonna find my soul, be brave. I've been down in the dirt, but I won't be a slave, I'm digging, digging myself out of the grave.

I'm digging, digging, yeah, I'm breaking free, From the darkness that tried to swallow me. No more lies, no more pain, I'm gonna be saved, Digging, digging myself out of the grave.

DAUGHTER OF ARAN MOTHER OF THE SEA

DAUGHTER OF ARAN MOTHER OF THE SEA 



In a land of ancient lore, where legends intertwine,
There lived a maiden of grace, a spirit so divine.
Daughter of Aran, her heart as vast as the sea,
A beacon of strength, in her eyes, wisdom would be set free.

Oh, Daughter of Aran, Mother of the sea,
Your spirit dances with the waves so gracefully.
With your love and compassion, you heal the ocean's plea,
Guiding us to harmony, where land meets the sea
Born from the shimmering depths, her voice a gentle breeze,
She sings songs of enchantment, across a restless seas.
Her touch mends broken hearts, like currents soft and mild,
Daughter of Aran, she's the protector of the wild.

Oh, Daughter of Aran, Mother of the sea,
Your spirit dances with the waves so gracefully.
With your love and compassion, you heal the ocean's plea,
Guiding us to harmony, where land meets the sea
In her eyes, the wisdom of ancient tides,
She holds the secrets of the ocean deep inside.
With every ebb and flow, her power is revealed,
Daughter of Aran, her spirit cannot be concealed.

Through storms and tempests, she remains steadfast and true,
A guardian of creatures, her love for them anew.
With every crashing wave, her embrace brings solace near,
Daughter of Aran, your presence, we hold dear.

Oh, Daughter of Aran, Mother of the sea,
Your spirit dances with the waves so gracefully.
With your love and compassion, you heal the ocean's plea,
Guiding us to harmony, where land meets the sea 
Daughter of Aran, your legacy will endure,
Your essence forever woven, in tales of old
We'll cherish your existence, a symbol of harmony,
Daughter of Aran, Mother of the sea.
