Craig Piercy

He closed his eyes and drifted away
I knew then all I could do was pray

Goodbye daddy goodbye
...

When you see things clearly you understand, you must sometimes make a stand
When things around you change you realize you must rearrange
Why do others find this strange?
...

As the passion builds inside, my heart beats faster
My mouth goes dry
My hands become clammy
My eyes widen in anticipation
...

Red and white with a single maple leaf in the centre
It blows in the breeze
Strong and free, it represents people with so much diversity
...

Spick-and-span, clean shaven
Living in their own haven

Dressed so proper, looking like a copper
...

As the wings of the beautiful pelican spread
As the pelican lifts his head
As the pelican takes flight, I remember his plight
...

When you wander around looking for that thing that's missing
It's your soul that's missing

That heartbeat, feeling of retreating
...

The longing to have someone
To take me away
Far, far away, take me to a place
I haven't been, to a country I haven't seen
...

The bond, the love, the connection
When she looks at you, you melt
When she holds your hand, you melt
When she cuddles you, you melt
...

Wake up, Daddy, wake up
Why do you sleep, Daddy?
You lie there so still
Come back, come back, Daddy
...

People here, people there
People using their power everywhere

Humanity toward others
...

My lifeblood
Without it, like a flower without water
Like a rose without smell
Like the sky without stars
...

The day you walked away
I watched you leave
Begging you to stay
Instead, you left me to grieve
...

As the sun rises, so do our dreams
Our dreams of all the nice things
Our dreams of all the right things
...

Heart singing, almost stinging
With the sound of music
My heart is free, free to express
Free to love, free to share with the one I love
...

I stepped back out today
Back into my world

I felt that I had hidden myself away
...

Another year goes by
Another year on a high
For every year I get older, I feel blessed
...

Ever been in a place
Stuck in a race
Consuming, never presuming, and love it is
An all-encompassing thing
...

I have a feeling, a feeling of joy
I've grown into a man, no longer a boy

My life has really changed
...

The feelings of emotion deep from within my soul
Pouring out of me like a liquid potion
As I sit here wondering what will be my new notion
Streaming thoughts flowing around in my head
...
