she grew up with
the children of the stars
in the hollywood hills and the boulevard
her parents threw big parties
everyone was there
they hung out with folks like
dennis hopper, bob seeger, sonny and cher

now, she feels safe
in this bar on fairfax
and from the stage I can tell that
she can't let go and she can't relax
and just before
she hangs her head to cry
I sing to her a lullaby, I sing

everything's gonna be all right
rockabye, rockabye
everything's gonna be all right
rockabye, rockabye
rockabye

she still lives with her mom
outside the city
down that street about a half a mile
and all her friends tell her
she's so pretty
but she'd be a whole lot prettier
if she smiled once in a while
`cause even her smile
looks like a frown
she's seen her share of devils
in this angel town

But, everything's gonna be all right
rockabye, rockabye
everything's gonna be all right
rockabye, rockabye
rockabye

I told her I ain't so sure
about this place
it's hard to play a gig in this town
and keep a straight face
seems like everyone here's got a plan
it's kind of like nashville with a tan, but,

everything's gonna be all right
rockabye, rockabye
everything's gonna be all right
rockabye, rockabye

everything's gonna be all right
rockabye, rockabye
everything's gonna be all right
rockabye, rockabye,rockabye, bye, bye
bye, bye

"This Fire Burns" by Killswitch Engage

. . . Even through the darkest days
This fire burns always
This fire burns always

This is the proving ground
As the heat begins to rise
Turn away from yesterday
tomorrow's in my eyes

never more to be held down
by the waves against me
never more to be cast aside
this day is mine . . . .

As of just about an hour ago or so, I've officially had the crappiest way to start off a week . . .

Do you believe in the old saying ; Everything Happens For A Reason? I'm still trying to figure this one out. So if anyone has some expert advice they wish to give me, just lay it on me! Id love to hear it.

And I'll leave you all with this . . .

Hey everyone,

I am going to NYC tomorrow to see The Lion King on Broadway, visit the zoo and the local art museums, The Met and The MoMA. I will be taking my digital camera to take pictures of the events and scenery of this weekend. Also, I have many pictures uploaded onto my computer of my recent cruise to Bermuda, St Thomas, and Grand Turk that I plan upon posting on here along with some paintings done of the above mentioned places and also starting up paintings of pieces in my ' Pieces Id Love to Paint ' favorites gallery.

And as always, working on my Mortal Kombat Project as we speak.

"I had already stepped both feet through the door frame into the next room which represented the next chapter of my life. To get to where I wanted to go, I could not go back through the door I just came in. So, I violently slammed the door that represented my past and I knew right away that it was too late to go back through it."
