Lines in the Sand

(Joyce Trudeau)

Relationships often start out with both parties being on the same page. But things change over time. If the parties can compromise and they draw lines in the sand, the relationship may fail. Finding the right person who shares your dream is what these lyrics are about.

We started out
With a dream in our hands
And love in our hearts
And no line in the sand.

We didn't have much
When you played with the band
But a roof on our heads
And a dream in our hands.

That dream kept us going 
When times were tough
When food was scarce
And money wasn't enough.

Our dream wasn't grand
But it kept us afloat
When storm clouds grew dark
And the wind rocked our boat.

Chorus
Sometimes a dream
Will slip through your hand
When you harden your heart
And draw lines in the sand.

The years seemed to fly
Through good times and bad
I'll always remember
The good times we had.

We shared one dream
But one day it all changed;
What we each wanted
Wasn't the same.

That's when the lines 
Were drawn in the sand.
I wanted a family;
You wanted a band.

We just couldn't see
How to meet in the middle
Neither one of us budged,
Not even a little

Chorus
Sometimes a dream
Will slip through your hand
When you harden your heart
And draw lines in the sand.

If what you want
Is your dreams to come true
You have to find someone
Who shares them with you.

Now I'm starting over
With a new man
We have love in our hearts
And no line in the sand.

Ladies Like Bad Boys

By Joyce Trudeau

So many ladies are attracted to bad boys. One has to wonder why. They are not always trustworthy or dependable. So what holds our attention? They know how to treat a lady. They are so suave - gentlemanly, but also a little bit naughty and fun. And that is sexy.

Fighting and dying, Street by street, yard by yard, on their homeland for the right to self-determination and the very freedom we take for granted. I shouldn’t be surprised. I married one! For my wife, Adela, and the gallant people of Ukraine and the late Richard D. Hanusey, EdD.

Rat race

By Howard Aronson

This lyric is about the craziness of living in the world today. No one has time for anybody anymore, everybody's just moving at such a fast Pace. Simple pleasures are no longer simple, everything is a fight, it's just an arduous task to get through a day. All the distractions, the traffic on the roads, and the angry people behind the wheel. There's so much distraction, so much temptation, and so much aggravation. It's really hard to take, and it won't be long before the world just blows up totally. There's so many wars and so much hate I'm not sure how much longer this can last.
