"Broken Dreams"
"Broken Dreams"
vocal, lyrics, guitar: Joe Seeholzer
piano, strings, organ: Michael John
Comments welcome on my mix of this great song by Joe Seeholzer (American Songwriter Lyric 2nd place winner). This is an acidplanet remix- Joe provided the vocal and guitar part. I added piano, strings, and organ.
This mix is based on his song "Happy Birthday"- I shortened the song and changed the name (which is allowed). The lyrics are something special indeed, simple, yet profound.
Mike

Happy Birthday
by Joe Seeholzer
Broken eyes and broken faces
Broken lies and broken traces
Broken promise - and injured lives
Broken leaves and broken branches
Broken trees and broken chances
Broken you and broken me
Have you ever seen
the broken sun through the branches
Through the leaves
against the wall off which it dances
In your mind - from which it glances
Into your heart which needs no chances
Except for right now
Except for right now
The broken parts we tend to hide away
But Jesus said - brought to the light of day
They are our salvation
But hidden away they just decay
Covered over they rot inside
All the bro-ken-ness that we hide
But through the sunlight
they create a pattern
As beautiful as the rings of Saturn
And the Buddha said - the Lotus flower
Gets its beauty from the muddy water
.....
Broken dreams and broken purpose
Everything seems to comes to the surface
Broken eyes and broken lines
All that was promised is in our minds
