~Now or Never~
A story that is also a song. It will one day be a part of my Melodies of Israel music compilation! It's a 5 CD series of songs and more!
~Now or Never~
Verse 1...
Every time I try to do something
To get ahead,
Something goes wrong
And holds me back again,
Chorus
How do I keep moving on this way
Feels like I'm losing my place
In the world
Day by Day,
Another year older
Watching the weather
Get colder & colder
All my dreams
Just staying out of grasp,
The disappointment
Of the life I've just past
Makes me want to go out
And relapse,
Walk around a loser
In the slums,
Understanding there is nowhere to go
When I stick out my thumb,
Hitch hiking days across this country are done
Gas is to expensive for everyone,
How many times does a person
Need to see the same places
Reminding you of how many years ago,
You should have escaped it!
Chorus
How do I keep moving on this way,
Feels like I'm losing my place
in the world
Day by Day,
Verse 2...
Living out of my van
Driving through the streets of the city
without insurance,
who gives a dam?
For it's Now or Never
If you want to get somewhere
It's Now or Never
In This Life
Or die where you are,
And never get to far
In Seeing what's on the other side of it all,
Like across the prairies,
Or the mountains and the sea.
Chorus (with a change up)
It's Now or Never for Me
It's Now or Never for Me
It's Now or Never for Me,
It's Now or never
If you want to get somewhere
It's Now or Never for me.
Verse 3...
How do I keep moving on this way
Driving thru the streets of the Cities,
Year after Year
Feels like I'm losing my place in the world
Day by Day,
Chorus
It's Now or Never for Me
It's Now or Never for Me
It's Now or Never for Me!

The Cave Part 6
If you have ever heard a tale about yourself that you cannot remember and doubtless think is made up, you will know how I felt when Tharkin related all that the eagle had seen of me before my memories were scattered. Of far distances and traveling companions that I did not recall, camping out under the stars and making our way to the mountains with deliberate purpose. The great bird had lost contact with my party once we entered the forests, and the seven other members were not seen again by him or his brethren since.
