Hi Eric, you write too much, I'm jealous. You really are like a Buddhist Priest at his temple.

oh! my dear
happy new year
always be happy
dont be sad
its my saying
remember that.....................
His voices
Those voices
Come from somewhere far
Far, far away..in a man. a man
A man who travel by his mind
Who has nothing but honest heart
A man who candles light in his voice
His words utterly heard
Wander through the world
With his wisdom played
In every song he sings
About pieces to be whole
About scar to get healed
Still far, far away
Journey of him to bright
To stop and sing his own melody
Cheer people with his words
Who believe in love
Those voices
I still hear today
From a same man
who still offers his heart
for us learning something
For us taking from his experiences
So now i singing my own song
for a man who sing us for long
A man of far, far away
But very near near inside Eric Cockrell
Who is a man, where the candled sound comes
