VALLEY of SEARCH (vocal)

(Keith Williams, vocalist with the Phil Morrison Trio)
music by: Keith William words by: Phil Morrison

verse 1
Comes a time in our life
When the voice in our soul
Speaks to us….

Midst the stress and the strife
As we travel this road
Filled with dust

Where do we go
How do we know
Who to trust

verse 2
When we’re children we’re told
That the lessons of old
Guide us through

But the time soon arrives
When events in our lives
Are brand new

Where do we go
How do we know
What to do

bridge 1
The questions in our mind – surround us
The answers that we find – won’t do
Traditions of the past – around us
Maybe before – but now we need more

verse 3
As we look back to see
What His message would be
For that time….

Many chose to reject
Words He gave to protect
Humankind

Now we must see
World Unity
Don’t be blind

bridge 2
The questions in our mind – surround us
The answers that we find – won’t do
Traditions of the past – around us
That (once) was the way – but now’s a new day

verse 4
And we move to the new
Through the Valley of Search
From the old

‘Cause we know it’s His will
That our journey is led
By the soul

Open your heart
Make a new start
Reach your goal

LONELY BEAUTY

Music by: Keith Williams
Lyrics by: Phil Morrison

Blues in the night  –  When dreams speak within
Gone is the light  –  nocturnal scenes
Above the city  –  high
I see   –   I feel   –   That Lonely Beauty….from
 
Deep in my heart  –  There’s you in my mind
Right from the start  –  
I always knew
The light of love  –  would last
I see   –   I feel   –   Lonely Beauty
                            
Darkness……with the shadow silhouettes
So still…..until the dawn
Morning has come
the city sounds
The rising sun  –  a new day……
 Is now awake  –  from dreams-but the
 
Night returns  –  to feel once again
A Flame steady burns  –  from the past
Until the light will fade
In the dark  –  
Lonely Beauty……Gone
 
        (optional 2nd verse)
Vast is the view  –   
of windows unknown
Lights shining through  –  now all alone
So peaceful  in the quiet
I  see   –    I  feel    –   Lonely Beauty
 
           (c)2005 williams/morrison

REMEMBER IBO(Igbo)LANDING

Our tribute song commemorating an historic event that took place in May, 1803 on Saint Simons Island, Georgia. It was during the American slave trade scourge when courageous Africans walked into the waters of St Simons Island, sacrificing their lives, rather than submit to being enslaved by their captors!
