Hi everybody, so this is my first time posting my own song. I realize I need to practice especially my guitar work and I apologize for the lousy recording quality I am recording just using my smart phone. Comments are welcome and appreciated, feeling pretty terrified over here about doing this but comfort is the enemy of progress. Hope some folks like it.

– Vagabond Prophet

Fortified

Always have song present

The melodies of beauty to usher you

Through the monotony of life,

Crescendos to hold you through lows,

Melancholy sounds to remind you

In joy, that this is not yet home.

Music has lulled me

Invigorated this spirit,

Fortified my bones

When milk no longer could.

Harmonies even curlier than my hair

Have spun my heartbreak into epiphany.

Reminding that he speaks through all

If you only have ears to hear.

Always have song present

To comfort you when bothered

To bother you when comfortable.

The most beautiful sounds making sadness

Pulling tears from your eyes

To stretch into harp strings.

Always have song present

When you’ve canoes with no oars

And tusks with no boars

Rhythms yet unknown

Will guide your feet to safety.

– Vagabond Prophet

Sleight of Hand

There’s a lot of broken people

Across the sea,

But there’s a lot broken people here too

You don’t have to go

across the sea

To be useful to me.

Don’t wait for a sign

No water divine

It’s as simple as a coat

For a shivering man

There’s no secret trick

No sleight of hand

Just a bit of bread

For an outstretched hand

All your brilliance and might

Can not win this fight

You just have to do something right

A rickety shack could he everything

To a man without a home

An old blanket could be everything

To a child with nothing but a stone

Don’t wait for a sign

No water divine

It’s as simple as a coat

For a shivering man

There’s no secret trick

No sleight of hand

Just a bit of bread

For an outstretched hand

– Vagabond Prophet

– Another song folks, let me know if you like the songs and should keep them coming.

Just What We Do

Well never stop

As long as theirs bones to break

And lives to take.

As long as we pump blood

Well take yours

And use it to paint our houses

Use it to dress our spouses.

As long as theirs smiles

I’ll turn them to frowns

For miles and miles

Dreams turned upside down.

I’ll take all your hope and put it on a rope

Saying go climb to the top

And then I give it a chop

To watch you dangle and dance

It’s not planned just happenstance.

Misery is the next stop

And the drivers never late

Rain snow or sleet

He will never abate.

It’s just what we do

And we like it too

See who can bleed the most

Of someone else’s blood.

– Vagabond Prophet

– I think this is a song too, it’s just hiding it’s melody from me right now.
