I found this old home movie of me singing a song I wrote and played over ten years ago! Of course, this was long before the whole "pop idol" culture,

Lyrics:
I`ve tried praying, don`t know what that`s good for,
I`ve tried living, but I`m needing to be more,
Don`t try leaving, I`ll tell you to stay,
Without your words I`d get up and walk away,
Do you think I`m wrong,
Do you think I`m right,
Do you ever, ever think at all,
You might, `cause you might .......
CHORUS
Fly with me, I`ll take you,
High with me, I can show you,
All the other reasons to be,
When you`re mine, I know it`s just a matter of time.
I`ve been so jaded, I could no longer stand for,
I`ve been degraded, but I wont be kept down,
The life I traded, a stone on the sea shore,
I give to you all the spirit I have now.
