ALOHA FRIDAY

Over at Kalani's she has a great Mimi to participate in its called "Aloha Friday"!

"In Hawaii, Aloha Friday is the day that we take it easy and look forward to the weekend. So I thought that on Fridays I would take it easy on posting, too. Therefore, I’ll ask a simple question for you to answer. Nothing that requires a lengthy response.

My question is: Can you make up a slogan for the upcoming new year with regards to your New Years resolution?

My slogan is: Lord, let me be arrive when the future arrives!

In the Arms of an Angel

©2009 David Moody

You could be an angel
For all that I know
I’ve never been to
Where any angels go…

Nor have I ever been worthy
Of the love you bestow
And so,

In the arms of an angel
My spirit flies
I’m holding onto what’s true
While my body lies
Searching for the right angle
And time for elemental surprise
In the arms of an angel
My spirit flies

Smile on Your Faith

©2008 David Moody

You always change the lighting
And nobody notices until it’s gone -
But where did it go?
There’s no reason or rhyme
To the things you always do

You are so strangely exciting
A work in progress still going on…
So, what do you know?
We might still have some time
To try something that’s brand new

Put a smile on your faith
Do something that makes you laugh
Put a smile on your faith
And let your life truly begin

Put a smile on your faith
Make a smile that’s built to last
and wear it on your face,
Let the world know the mood you’re in

The Mystery Remains...

And we’ll drink from this cup
The very nectar of life
And our cup will never be empty

Taste the food of the gods
Under homemade skies
Strangely beautiful as you so tempt me

Sometimes we have to cry
Knowing how, but not why
Sometimes we just have to cry

Sometime you’ll feel the pain
At the drop of a name
Some things you just can’t explain

The mystery remains…

Hearing Someone's Name

©2009 David Moody

Sometimes you have to cry
Don’t ask me how or why
Sometimes you just have to cry

Sometimes you feel the pain
When hearing someone’s name
Some things you just can’t explain why

Many demons hide
Way down inside
This otherwise happy man
See him gravitate
Watch his body hate
Every single bad habit
Show him one, and he’ll grab it
He knows it’s sure to kill him
But he doesn’t like to wait
And he feels like he’s really got to have it

Every Given Smile

©2009 David Moody

Talk to me – can you convince me
Anything’s been better since we said our last good-byes?
You know you took me by surprise
Now I gather up my plans and schemes
I’ll never sacrifice these dreams that someday I’ll be wise…
Something special in your eyes

When all my songs get overplayed
And all my welcomes overstayed
You will not see a single shade of sorrow
May every given smile bless
Your heart, your soul, and mind...I guess,
With memories worth creating for tomorrow

Inside the Sky

©2008 David Moody

I found a little piece of my
Once sound and peaceful mind
Where I didn’t even expect it

When everything inside the sky
Is perfect – we can finally find
The joy that’s in the lives we selected

Shining Horizon

©2009 David Moody

While I’m keeping my eyes on
That shining horizon
And riding off into the sunset
So much more than alive
I’m in overdrive
And I wonder if we’re having fun yet

I must thank you for carin’
And thank you for sharin’
And letting me into your life
Girl, if I had a mind to
Or was so inclined to
I’d ask you to be my wife

Dirty Windowpane

©2009 David Moody

I did all the right things wrong
Or I did all the wrong things right
I can’t even write a decent song
Lord, it’s no wonder I can’t sleep at night

I picked up my share of bad habits
And a red guitar that plays the blues
I learned to get pretty good at it
Now it’s the remedy I always chose

I’ll try to tell you what I’m feeling
All I feel is out of touch
Still I just go on revealing way too much
When I try to speak my mind
You look at me like I’m insane
I’m not so blind - it’s just this dirty windowpane

Alive, Aloud and Free

©2009 David Moody

My lady likes the simple things
Like exchanging body heat
When every weekend morning brings
A chance to snuggle…sweet

But let me play those supple strings
As my heart provides the beat
The universal language of
Love spoken here
Love alive,
Aloud,
And free
