IT’S SO EASY

LET GO AND LET GOD

NO EXCUSE

BELIEVE

TRAGIC ANGEL

Trusting You

Living In The Kingdom

The Saddest Angel

Lord Have Mercy

Once Upon America

ONCE UPON AMERICA

What does it mean to be an American

It seems it’s changed over night

The pledge of Allegiance to our flag

One nation under God indivisible

It’s fading out of sight

Don’t say those words we were founded on

So politically incorrect

The early light no early dawn

Divided we’ll fall I’ll bet

Angry winds volcanic ash

Nashville’s under water

I can hear the thunder and wall street crash

Nothing for our son’s and daughters

History repeats itself it seems we never learn

Just read the books upon your shelf

One more page to turn

Can you hear the cries of dying life

The Gulf now black with oil

The earth is rumbling about our sin

The West Virginia mines are caving in

See the terrorists with no love

our government ignoring God above

Jobs are scarce our money is too

Can’t even recognize this place

God help the human race Back to Top

God bless America

And God bless you

Two People

Dawn Maracle

Two people on a rock looking down on the world they say

Two people on a rock oh what a day

Two people on a rock and the light shone down on them

Two people in love in love again

Two people were walking in paradise they say

nobody but them that day

If anyone asked it would always be this way

until a cold and snowy day

Look away Look away Look away can you look away

Look away Look away Look away sometimes you gotta look away

sometimes the story books have endings

not quite the way that we'd have planned

and when the cards have all been dealt out

sometimes you need another hand

Look away Look away Look away can you look away

Look away Look away Look away sometimes you gotta look away

Snow white has played a larger part now

and Cinderella had to leave the ball

cause virgin white took Charming's head and heart now

and golden coaches are just pumpkins after all

Look away Look away Look away can you look away

Look away Look away Look away sometimes you gotta look away

Two people on a rock looking down on the world they say

Two people on a rock oh what a day

Two people on a rock and the light shone down on them

Two people in love in love again

Two people in love and they walk away

Two people in love and they look away Back to Top

EVERYBODY

Dawn Maracle

Everybody wants to take what you've got

Everybody wants to take what you've earned

Everybody wants to see you get hurt

Everybody wants to see you go down and burn

Everybody out there wants to fraud and scam

tell you that they'll take you to the promised land

lie and cheat you out of your hard earned cash

just to fill their pockets in a hurried flash now

Bridge

Don't you believe it when they tellin' you

they've got the answer that your lookin' for

another easy way to rob you blind it's cool

another fool another dollar more

Chorus

Na na na na it's a shame

na na na na now it's not the same

na na na na well it's upside down

what's right is wrong

and it's turned around

what's right is wrong and it's turned around aaaaaaaah

Everybody wants to see you suffer

Everybody wants to hurt another

Everybody wants to be the one who

rises to the top wearing their disguises now

Someone had a heart they let them slide

Someone told them that there were no more free rides

I couldn't believe when I heard her say

someone did something nice it's wrong that way

Bridge

Don't you believe it when they tellin' you

they've got the answer that your lookin' for

another easy way to rob you blind it's cool

another fool another dollar more

Chorus

Na na na na it's a shame

na na na na now it's not the same

na na na na well it's upside down

what's right is wrong and it's turned around

what's right is wrong and it's turned around aaaaaaaah

TRUSTING YOU

Dawn Maracle

audio link

Too many nights have I waited for you

to come to me oh Lord

How many times have I cried in the night

waiting for your light

To come to me oh Lord

Chorus

And when I come to the end of my rope

That's when it happens and you give me hope

To go on to go on trusting you you

God how I've tried to show I can be strong

And you know I have

I have had faith and believed what I asked

Has been done by you

Chorus

And when I come to the end of my rope

That's when it happens and you give me hope

To go on to go on trusting you

Whistle - Solo

You have put desires into my heart

Before time it's true

and I must patiently wait for your time

I believe in you

Chorus

And when I come to the end of my rope

That's when it happens and you give me hope

To go on to go on

To go on to go on loving you you

Trusting you trusting you trusting you trusting you trusting you

GOOD LUCK BAD LUCK

Dawn Maracle

Audio Demo

Sometimes you win sometimes you lose

I am told it's only what you choose

You control your life your destiny

But I think that they are blind and do not see

Chorus

Some have blind luck and some do not (ooh no no )

some get it all without a thought ( you know they do you know they do now now)

Still others struggle all their lives they work so hard

Knocked down each time that they try

Who you are you know just where you stand

Hard or not some kill some lend a hand

Deep inside a force is telling you

Good luck bad luck tells you just how you will choose

Chorus

Some have blind luck and some do not (ooh no no )

some get it all without a thought ( you know they do you know they do now now)

Still others struggle all their lives they work so hard

Knocked down each time that they try

Scat Instrumental

Too many times some may want out

While others flash their cash all about

You can never tell who may do what

Insane is sane and sane acts like a nut

Chorus

Some have blind luck and some do not (ooh no no )

some get it all without a thought ( you know they do you know they do now now)

Still others struggle all their lives they work so hard

Knocked down each time that they try

Good luck bad luck Good luck bad luck Good luck bad luck

Good luck bad luck Good luck bad luck Good luck bad luck .....................

Dawn Maracle

As I sit here and I wait for you

look out the window that I'm looking through

It's not the reason I have nothing to do

I gives me reason to review

About old loves and about the new

HUNG A BULB BRIGHT AND RED

A MEMORY NOT SOON FORGOTTEN, VIVID AFTER ALL THESE YEARS

AND WITH EACH CHRISTMAS COMES THAT BRIGHT RED BULB

HANGING HIGHER ON THE TREE UP THERE

CHORUS:

I REMEMBER CHRISTMAS AS IT WAS WHEN I WAS YOUNG

I REMEMBER CHRISTMAS AND THE BRIGHT RED BULB THAT HUNG (FROM THE TREE) I REMEMBER CHRISTMAS

THE FACE OF MY CHILD STILL IN THE BULB

I REMEMBER CHRISTMAS THAT'S THE WAY I ALWAYS WILL REMEMBER CHRISTMAS

NOW THERE ARE OTHER LITTLE ONES WHO'S FACES WILL BE SEEN

FROM THE BOTTOM OF A CHRISTMAS TREE IN A BULB BRIGHT RED (MAYBE GREEN) SO ONCE AGAIN IT HANGS LOW ON THE BOTTOM

JUST LIKE IT DID WHEN I WAS A LITTLE CHILD NOW ANOTHER LITTLE FACE INSTEAD (LOOKS IN THE BULB) WILL SING

CHORUS

SO MANY CHRISTMAS'S AGO SO MANY THAT HAVE PAST

I WONDER WILL THEIR MEMORY FADE OR BE LIKE MINE AND LAST

I need some, some time and some space

Get out of this crazy race

Close my eyes universal ties

Ties that bind

On a mountain top over cosmic seas

The wind is blowin' all through my hair

The wind is blowin' it's blowin' every where

Open wings and fly away fly away

Meditation is the key to this door

Relaxation is on a distant shore

Never come back if I could stay

Open wings and fly away fly away

Fly away fly away Back to Top

Frankly speaking I’ve come to know

Cryptic movements a random show

A unique form of communications

Getting loud Getting quiet

What a challenge what a riot

A Sherlock Holmes mystery

The answer just came to me there within the vicinity

You and me in the vicinity

THE POETRY OF DAWN MARACLE

DEDICATED TO ALL WHO HAVE INSPIRED THESE WRITINGS EVEN THIS IS INSPIRATION 12/29/98

After you have read this poetry you will have a profound understanding of who I am today and my philosophies about life, love, my Lord and Savior. Who I am now is only a temporary state and is ever changing. The worse thing that can happen to a soul is to become stagnant and closed to any growth that God would have prepared and waiting for us to reach out and take. Ask and ye shall receive. Please God let me grow. Do not hoard your god given gifts. Empty your cup to that God may fill it up again to over flowing. Then you will see the cup not only becomes full again but, it also becomes larger. God will not give us more than we can handle, be it bad or GOOD! God is my highest power and it is that power that has inspired these writings. Without God I would not have the insight into any of the subject matter within the following pages. For a greater understanding of the words within these pages I would suggest an open heart, mind, prayer and meditation about what you are about to partake. This is the True Supper That I dine on.
