Living Proof
One day gone that you might have gotten wrong
So you breathe in deep tonight
Looking back now it’s a faded dark cloud
Even shadows and shade need light
Every love song is an aching to belong
A plea for a warm embrace
Pleasure and pain like the sun and the rain
Living side by side, love/hate
How do you know when it’s time
To walk away
Listen to heart or mind
A crackling flame in the night
Before a hurricane
Giving a warning sign?
Love can lift you up
And let you fall
To pieces on the ground
Love is human touch
And don’t we all
Need that living proof
Someone let’s you down like they shouldn’t be allowed
It used to leave a bitter taste
Poisonous risk so you don’t drink it in
You learn from your mistakes
But how do you know when it’s time
To walk away
Listen to heart or mind
A crackling flame in the night
Before a hurricane
Giving a warning sign?
Love can lift you up
And let you fall
To pieces on the ground
Love is human touch
And don’t we all
Need that living proof
Love can lift you up
And let you fall
To pieces on the ground
Love is human touch
And don’t we all
Need that living proof

Fall From The Sky
A distant love
like an old photograph
A childhood crush
So sweet yet not made to last
Feelings never leave your heart
They help to shape who you are
Never want to be
one who won’t try
I believe that love
can fall from the sky
A soft cool breeze
As pure as a waterfall
Sunlight through the trees
Swaying yet standing tall
It’s good to look inside your heart
Make sure to be who you are
Never want to be
one who won’t try
Tears may run from eyes
That just need to cry
But I believe that love
can fall from the sky

Mask
Looking through our own lens we view the world
Different yet the same whether boy or girl
You take it to heart
You take it to mind
You shape it in the image of what’s inside
You give it some thought
You give it some time and
Put your faith in what feels right
Looking for the proof to feed your side
But open the door a crack to let in light
Gotta be strong
Stay in the fight
But keep it in the interest of selfless pride
Fiction and fact
Watching your back
Like an incoming ocean tide
Tell me what it means
When you feel like shattered glass
And it’s harder to believe
In a dream made to last
Like you’re living another life
While the wind is blowing fast
Good air is hard to find
But as long as I don’t
Lose myself behind the mask
Wearing another face can yield rewards
Eyes are the true give away yet they’re always yours
You think maybe wrong
You think maybe right
You just keep holding tight
You look over here
You look over there (but you)
Watch with open eyes
(open eyes…it’s your life) background part*
Tell me what it means
When you feel like shattered glass
And it’s harder to believe
In a dream made to last
Like you’re living another life
While the wind is blowing fast
Good air is hard to find
But as long as I don’t
Lose myself behind the mask
Tell me what it means
When you feel like shattered glass
And it’s harder to believe
In a dream made to last
Like you’re living another life
While the wind is blowing fast
Good air is hard to find
But as long as I don’t
Lose myself behind the mask

Firefly
Stars
Can make you look up
Can light up your mind
Imagination runs wild
To be free
Just facing the wind
Breathing it in, forget everything
Just follow the light
Just like the night
A mystery of life
Dark then it’s bright
Like a firefly
Some things you can’t explain
The nature of our ways
Love and with it pain
We keep asking why
But the answers just drift and glow
Like a firefly
I just play
When the mood strikes
Maybe it’s good maybe it’s not
But I know it feels right
No turning back
Only looking ahead
Gotta follow the road, to see where it leads
I bet it never ends
Just like the night
A mystery of life
Dark then it’s bright
Like a firefly
Some things you can’t explain
The nature of our ways
Love and with it pain
We keep asking why
But the answers just drift and glow
Like a firefly
Fly
Fly
The answers just drift and glow
Like a firefly

Weight Of The World
Feel like it’s been awhile
The sun hasn’t shined for a year
Live in exile
Burdened by all that fear
Before you know it
You’re drifting out to sea
That rope you were holding
Slips far out of reach
Some days you’re floating
Spellbound with desire
Others pin you down
Surrounded with barbed wire
I don’t wanna feel the weight of the world
Bearing down hard tonight
Turning from stones being hurled
Choosing what or who to fight
There’s nothing to prove when
You know there’s no losing
If your view is from the mountainside
It’s getting near sundown
The rumors will play out
I’ll try to ease my weary mind
As the air gets light
The passion hasn’t died
A flickering light in the distance
Sometimes we must decide
If it’s outside or inward resistance
Maybe damned if I do
But powerless if I don’t
True colors will show through
To reap what we sew
Some days are shining diamonds
Like a sparkle in your eyes
Others turn to dust
And the wind just makes you blind
I don’t wanna feel the weight of the world
Bearing down hard tonight
Turning from stones being hurled
Choosing what or who to fight
There’s nothing to prove when
You know there’s no losing
If your view is from the mountainside
It’s getting near sundown
The rumors will play out
I’ll try to ease my weary mind
As the air gets light

Burning Bridge
The light turns red
You stop without thinking
No words to be said
All signals obeyed
Someone gives you
What you thought you were missing
Until they give proof
That you’ve been betrayed
Your mind in repose
Awakened by fire
Your helpful hand
Feels the bite from a viper
We like to believe
What doesn’t kill makes us stronger
That pain will retreat
Like smoke as it wanders
When flames get too hot
Let’m burn
Stand back from the heat
Don’t get hurt
Faith open-eyed
Hit or miss
Take the risk
There will always be those
Who choose a burning bridge
You ask yourself
If your own hands are dirty
fueled on by hubris
selfishness or pride
But you can’t control
Hidden agenda diverging
Like a forked tongue expression
And a look right in the eyes
When flames get too hot
Let’m burn
Let them burn
Don’t let your feet
touch the scorching earth
Faith open-eyed
Hit or miss
Take the risk
Though they’ll always be some
Who want to burn that bridge
When flames get too hot
Let’m burn
Stand back from the heat
Keep your word
Don’t get hurt
Faith open-eyed
Hit or miss
Take the risk
There will always be those
Who choose a burning bridge
Just let it burn
Let it burn
Let it burn

Stars Sun And Moon
It takes a little
It takes a little thinking
To solve the riddle
Find the middle of your own space in time
You wake up
In a rut
With this life
But watch out
For those doubts
That creep inside your mind
How did we get here
It’s not exactly clear
But since we are just enjoy the ride
Do whatever you want
If your heart is telling you
Like the notes in a song
Have a way of speaking truth
When you fall in the arms
Of someone who loves you
Clouds are all that can hide
The stars the sun and moon
It’s gonna change
Cause’ nothing stays as it was
You can embrace
A new parade of perspectives over time
When it’s dark
Bend the light
To your life
Round and round
Up and down
Keep a telescopic eye
Now that you live here
You might as well just enjoy the ride
So do whatever you want
If your heart is telling you
Like the notes in a song
Have a way of speaking truth
When you fall in the arms
Of someone who loves you
You feel forever light like
The stars the sun and moon
Like a satellite
Floating through the sky
Reaching out for a lifeline
To pull you inside
Do whatever you want
If your heart is telling you
Like the notes in a song
Have a way of speaking truth
When you fall in the arms
Of someone who loves you
You’ll find forever light like
The stars the sun and moon

This is everything I love about John Wesley - organic and emotional, with that indescribable (shimmering?) Wesley guitar that elevates everything he touches. A candid portrait from a man blessed with the talent to put his soul into song.
