Make it on my own
by Mark Kenington All Rights Reserved 2019
Took the job cos I got the letter
Dreams on ice, just seemed better
Still can’t find, what I need
Sat in halls with all those books
Walked the malls with all their looks
Still can’t find, what I need
The world is turning, dragging me round,
Gotta a feeling inside, I can…
Make it on my own
On my own x3
Years roll by, like cars on a freeway
Life goes round, back around the same way
I Still can’t find, what I need
Seems so crazy, when I said yes
You asked for more, and paid me less
Still can’t find, what I need
The world is turning, dragging me round,
Gotta a feeling inside, I can…
Make it on my own
On my own x3
Oo-oo-oo-oo x4
Don’t judge my indecision,
My mind gives misdirection,
I know, I can…
Make it on my own
On my own x3
On my own x4
Oo-oo-oo-oo x4
On my own x4

Oh I hear, the world in sound
An’ I feel, you all around
Sonic heart, you make me whole again
Sonic heart, you make me whole
Sonic heart, don’t leave me now…
I Am Free
by Mark Kenington All Rights Reserved 2019
Brought me into this, mother land
Taught me all your lies how the, world stands
How right is wrong, and wrong is right
Now I suppose that I have, seen the light
I am free, to be a better man
I am free, to walk the land
I am free, to hold your hand
and lead you there….with me
Would you put your trust in a, free man
Would you rather put a, label on
Don’t know how you make, sense of this
Don’t know how to go, on with this
I am free, to be a better man
I am free, to walk the land
I am free, to hold your hand
and lead you there…..with me
Would you follow me
Or follow the crowd
I am free, to be a better man
I am free, to walk the land
I am free, to hold your hand
and lead you there….
…with me

Walking The Line
by Mark Kenington All Rights Reserved 2017
If somebody walks in the dark are they really there?
If somebody cries in the night does anyone hear?
What you feel, nobody knows
What you hear, nobody knows
Keep walking the line, in everyones news
Keep walking the line, wearing the blues
Keep walking, walking the line…
If nobody held what they did would they see straight through?
If nobody feared what they did would they talk to you?
What you see, nobody knows
What you fear, nobody knows
Keep walking the line, in everyones news
Keep walking the line, in somebodies shoes
Keep walking the line, wearing the blues
Keep walking, walking the line…
A state confusion, walking the line,
Maybe illusion, is killing my mind?
Keep walking, walking the line
Keep walking, keep walking, walking the line
Keep walking, walking the line
Keep walking, keep walking, walking the lie…
Keep walking, keep walking, keep walking, keep walking the line…
Keep walking, keep walking, keep walking, keep walking the line…
Keep walking, keep walking, keep walking, keep walking the line…
Going Nowhere
by Mark Kenington All Rights Reserved 2017
I dreamed of fires and saving you
I dreamed of flying to the moon
I dreamed of watching crowds go wild
I dreamed of being something new
Watched it fade away, you said I had no style,
Got up and ran away, from the longest mile…
I’m going nowhere, faster than you
I’m going nowhere, faster than you
Empty bottles there’s nothing new
Another daydream comes into view
Sit around what can I do
Nothing in me is anything like you
Watched it fade away, you said I had no style,
Got up and ran away, from the longest mile…
I’m going nowhere, faster than you
I’m going nowhere, faster than you
I’m going nowhere, faster than you
I’m going nowhere, faster than you
Sometimes I’m down on my knees, I wanna see
Sometimes I want to believe, I wanna be free
To walk the longest mile, walk it in my style…
Going nowhere, faster than you
I’m going nowhere, faster than you
I’m going nowhere, faster than you
I’m going nowhere, faster than you
Faster than you, faster than you
Faster than you..
I’m going nowhere, I’m going nowhere
I’m going nowhere, faster than you
Diamond Ring
by Mark Kenington All Rights Reserved 2017
That diamond ring, doesn’t mean that much to me, if I know I’ve got your love,
That diamond ring, shouldn’t mean that much to you, when you know you’ve got my love.
What you gonna do?
What you gonna do?
Pink champagne, doesn’t taste so good to me, if I wish I had your love,
A pretty dress, wouldn’t look so good to you, when you pray you’ve got my love.
What you gonna do?
When love takes over you,
Love takes over you.
Big limousine, like a rock star, doesn’t mean that much to me,
Honeymoon, in Hawaii, oh yeah, shouldn’t mean that much to you.
What you gonna do?
When love takes over you,
Love takes over you,
Love takes over you,
Love takes over you.
All those little things, it’s all of you,
Dreams are made of, loving you, and,
Love is all I ever, wanted from you,
So, what you gonna do? When love takes over you.
All those little things,
Dreams are made of,
Love is all I ever,
Wanted from you.
What you gonna do?
What you gonna do?
Love takes over you,
Love takes over you,
Love takes over you.
Dollar For My Daydream
by Mark Kenington All Rights Reserved 2017
You say morning, and I say hiya baby, but the baby's under my breath
You smile sweetly, I smile back at you, a smile of nervousness
And I don't know, if it's me or my dollar
But I'm happy, a dollar for my daydream
Dream, a dollar for my daydream
Dream, a dollar for my daydream
...tomorrow's another day
Is it just about a cup, a man and a, Columbian mountain
Is it just about a time, a little time, time to make a dollar
And I don't know, if it's me or my dollar
But I'm happy, a dollar for my daydream
Dream, a dollar for my daydream
Dream, a dollar for my daydream
Dream, a dollar for my daydream
Just take my money, if you don't want me
Just take my money, if you don't want me
Dream, a dollar for my daydream
Dream, a dollar for my daydream
Dream, a dollar for my daydream
Dream, a dollar for my daydream
...tomorrow's another day

Spinning Free
by Mark Kenington All Rights Reserved 2017
Bare naked ladies they sing to me
I’m on a trip to borrow time
She walks right up and scatters me
To the corners of my mind
Ooo spinning free
Ooo I’m spinning free
Look above the stars are out
The sun got lost inside your eyes
Music all around calling out
To hold our hands up to the skies
Ooo spinning free
Ooo spinning free
Ooo spinning free
Ooo I’m spinning free
Trip the light fantastic, scream out your name, ooo I’m spinning free
Sing a new fandango, scream it out again, you scattered me
…spinning free
I’m spinning free
Ooo spinning free
Ooo spinning free
Ooo spinning free
Ooo I’m spinning free
I’m spinning free, I’m spinning free, I’m spinning free
I’m spinning free, I’m spinning free, I’m spinning free…
Hold On
by Mark Kenington All Rights Reserved 2017
Fibonacci put a hole in my head, get it wrong yah better off dead
Little hole where the dirt comes in, all the tales of mice and men
We all got it figured out, why we all running about
Doing it all againG
ot a secret everyone knows, underneath these emperor clothes
No collusion or conspiracy, naked truth is hard to see
We all got it figured out, why we all running about
Doing it all again
Hold on, don’t let it go
Hold on, to what you know
Sitting by a tree, passing time with me, from my head and insanity
Sit a while, find a smile, little peace and clarity
We all got it figured out, why we all running about
Doing it all again
Hold on, don’t let it go
Hold on, to what you know
Imagination, gives me somewhere to go
A little detour, from this road
Hold on, don’t let it go
Hold on, to what you know
Hold on, won’t let it go
Hold on, to what I know
Is It Any Wonder
by Mark Kenington All Rights Reserved 2017
Is it any wonder, today is the same day.
Is it any wonder, I’m feeling the same way.
Oh won’t you change?
Oh won’t you stay?
Where did you go?
Love is not enough, love is not enough, to keep us that way.
You said you’d never leave, if I cheated you’d hurt me.
Do words make better deeds? Did you hear them as you left me?
Why did you change?
Why did you leave?
What did you say?
Love is not enough, ooo love is not enough, to keep us that way.
Love is not enough, love is not enough, that’s what you say.
Why would you leave? I didn’t know.
Why would you change? I didn’t know.
Why would you say?
Love is not enough, love is not enough, to keep us that way.
Love is not enough, love is not enough, that’s what you say.
(why would change, why would you change)
Love is not enough, love is not enough, that’s what you say.
Love is not enough, love is not enough, to keep us that way.
(to keep us that way, that’s what you say)
Why would you leave?
Ooo, why would you change?
Is it, is it any wonder.
Why would you change?
Why would you change?
Yeah, is it any wonder, ooo, is it any wonder.
Why would you change?
Ooo, oh why I would you?
Carousel World
by Mark Kenington All Rights Reserved 2017
Take a slice of heaven
Add a drop of reason
Put it in a box and sail it to me
I’ll be sure to show my thanks
I’ve got my slice of heaven
Right here under my feet
I’ll put it in a box and sail it to you
So we can fill, fill this empty shelf
On a carousel world, we ride
On a carousel world, we’re living
On a carousel world, the place we wanna be
People will come, they'll wanna see
A slice of heaven, like you and me
We put it in a box and set the sails free
Will they be happy, with our, our memory
On a carousel world, we ride
On a carousel world, we’re living
On a carousel world, the place we wanna be
We’ve put on such a show
Now everybody wants a go
All the people stand in line
Let’s pretend we’re doing fine
On a carousel world, we ride
On a carousel world, we’re living
On a carousel world, the place we wanna be…wanna be…
Blue Sky
by Mark Kenington All Rights Reserved 2017
I believe in angels, they fly on timely wings,
I believe in magic, in all those little things,
I believe in heroes, the stories have foretold,
You and I are heroes, only we know what we hold.
All the cars in the parking lot, used to be a highway, it came to a stop.
Eyes glazed, a thousand yard stare, look outside, see magic out there.
Little trees grow between the road, in nothing more than dirt and a golden glow.
Choking on smog and garbage set free, still they grow magnificently.
Cos only they can…
See the blue sky, blue sky, when they look outside,
Blue sky, blue sky, take a look outside…of your mind.
All the people in the mall today, not sure what we’re buying, it’s good anyway.
Cheap and shiny, replaceable, fills a hole, we’re all disposable.
Some get rich, you’re not wrong, land of the free, rising sun, enter the dragon.
Look around, can you see, birds and bees making an economy.
Cos only they can…
See the blue sky, blue sky, when they look outside,
Blue sky, blue sky, take a look outside,
At the blue sky, blue sky, take a look outside of your mind.
She came to me on golden wings, all is beauty she sings to me,
And if we dare to look outside, something in our eyes will make us feel so high…
Cos only they can…
See the blue sky, blue sky, when they look outside,
Blue sky, blue sky, take a look outside,
See the blue sky, blue sky, look outside,
At the blue sky, you get high, when you look outside…of your mind.
She Told Me
by Mark Kenington All Rights Reserved 2017
She told me we could, fly this high forever if we, loved like this together, evermore
We met on a train going nowhere. World rushing by, what do we care. She made it all, disappear.
No fear of hopeless beginnings. No sin when you are sinning. We stole, what we gave away.
She told me I was the strongest of the best of all the love she’d ever known before
She told me we could, fly this high forever if we, loved like this together, evermore
She took me under the mountains. She took me over the hills. When life, was better than this.
She held me called me a lover. She kissed me like no other. Then she, she walked away.
She told me I was the longest of the best of all the love she’d ever known before
She told me we could, fly this high forever if we, loved like this together, evermore
Oh and I, wanna feel, feel your love again
Oh I, wanna taste, taste your kiss again and again
I wanna heal in your arms…in your arms
She told me I was the strongest of the best of all the love she’d ever known before
She told me we could, fly this high forever if we, loved like this together, evermore
She told me we could, love like this forever if we, stayed like this together, evermore
She told me, oh-ooo,
She tells me no more…she told me…
